Decentralized. Secure. Argon2id.
Bitweb Core is an open-source cryptocurrency implementing the Argon2id proof-of-work algorithm — ASIC-resistant, memory-hard, and built for fair mining.
Argon2id Algorithm
Memory-hard proof-of-work resistant to ASIC mining. Fair distribution through CPU and GPU accessibility.
Open Source
Fully open-source under the MIT license. Auditable, forkable, community-driven development on GitHub.
Reproducible Builds
Deterministic builds via GNU Guix. Every binary is independently verifiable. GPG-signed release attestations.
Coin Specification
Full technical parameters of the Bitweb (BTE) network
Block identifiers are hashed with SHA256d; Argon2id serves as the PoW challenge only — the same separation used in Litecoin (Scrypt PoW / SHA256d chain).
Version bytes shown as decimal and hex. All address types are 34 characters.
Network Relaunch & Vesting
BTE is a full network relaunch with a clean genesis, fair mining, and built-in vesting protection for distributed coins.
BTE is a full relaunch of a previous chain. Holders of the old network received new BTE at a 100:1 denomination ratio — one new BTE per 100 old coins. To maintain mathematical and aesthetic integrity, the first 60,000 blocks were mined the standard way: a flat 50 BTE reward per block, no inflated coinbase outputs, no shortcuts — pure mining as a foundation for fair distribution.
To prevent sudden sell pressure from the distributed supply, all coinbase outputs mined during the extended period (blocks 60,000–69,300) carry an extended maturity lock. The lock is designed so that every coin from this period becomes spendable at the same moment — block 69,400 — giving the network time to find a natural price equilibrium before unlocked coins can move.
Your blocks mine and pay out normally — standard 50 BTE reward at every height. If your block falls inside the extended window (60,000–69,300), your coinbase will mature later than usual, but all such coins unlock together at block 69,400, roughly 32 days from the window start. Outside this range the standard 100-block maturity (~8 hours) applies as always.
A pool earning 50 BTE per block will accumulate over 1,600 unspent coinbase outputs by the time it holds 80,000 BTE. Creating a payout transaction from that many inputs can exceed the transaction size limit and return an error. Before each scheduled payout run, consolidate your wallet: send batches of no more than 50,000 BTE to your own address in separate transactions. Perform consolidation after block 69,400 to avoid extended-maturity errors.
Before large payouts: consolidate in batches of ≤ 50,000 BTE
