Your Second Chance
at Bitcoin

Most Bitcoin forks inherit the old blockchain and all its history. BTCSE is an Ultrafork — it starts completely fresh with a new genesis block. Everyone begins from zero, creating a truly level playing field.

Not that we're aware of. We've searched extensively and haven't found another project that takes Bitcoin's software and restarts it from a clean genesis block. If you know of one, we'd genuinely like to hear about it — reach out to us.

No special equipment needed. Right now, competition is minimal — you can mine on a standard laptop or even a low-cost device like the Lucky Miner LV08. Thanks to full Bitcoin compatibility, any mining software works out of the box. Blocks are easy to find, and every one earns you 50 $E. As the network grows, difficulty will rise — just like Bitcoin. The earlier you start, the easier it is.

Almost none. The entire blockchain currently fits within a few hundred megabytes — just like Bitcoin in its earliest days. You can sync the full chain in minutes and start mining right away.

No. Zero pre-mine, zero token sale, zero shortcuts. Every single coin in existence was mined the honest way — by spending real computational power. No one got a head start, no insiders hold secret stashes. The only advantage is timing: those who start mining earliest, when difficulty is lowest, earn the most. That window is open right now.

Completely. BTCSE is fully open-source — anyone can read, audit, and compare the code against the original Bitcoin repository. Only a handful of parameters were changed to launch a new blockchain. The entire consensus algorithm, cryptographic math, and security model remain identical to Bitcoin — a system that has withstood over 15 years of relentless attacks from countless hackers, hostile governments, and the most powerful organizations on Earth, and has never been broken.

No. BTCSE is a completely independent project — there is no financing, affiliation, or endorsement from the Bitcoin organization. While BTCSE uses Bitcoin's open-source software, it has its own blockchain, its own exchange rate, and is an entirely separate coin. Think of it as a fresh start built on proven technology.

Yes. "Bitcoin" is not a protected trademark — it's a generic term for the open-source protocol and cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's code is released under the MIT license, which explicitly allows forking, modifying, and redistributing. Many well-known projects use "Bitcoin" in their name — Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin Gold — without legal issues. BTCSE clearly states it is an independent project built on Bitcoin's open-source software, with no claim of affiliation or endorsement.

Just like Bitcoin, BTCSE has a hard cap of 21,000,000 coins. Every coin must be mined by spending real computational power and electricity. There is no pre-mine, no token sale, no shortcuts.

This is a long-term prospect — potentially 10-15 years. If BTCSE attracts a comparable number of participants to Bitcoin, the value could follow. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a system of growth powered by mining and community, just like Bitcoin was.

We CAN exchange for currency, but we WON'T do so until the network reaches a large number of holders. These are virtual coins — we won't exchange them for cryptocurrencies or fiat until we achieve a critical mass of transactions and participants.

We'd recommend caution. The network is still in its early growth phase — things may change, bugs can occur, and the infrastructure is still maturing. Start small, mine what you can, and grow with the project. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
