📌 Bitcoin2 FAQ — Read This First!

Welcome to Bitcoin2! Below are answers to the most common questions about the project.  

---

❓ What is Bitcoin2?  
Bitcoin2 is the Ideal Upgrade to Bitcoin. It combines:  

• Scarcity of Bitcoin (21M cap, no premine)
• Speed of Kaspa (~1s blocks with blockDAG)
• Programmability of Ethereum (EVM-based Layer 2)
• Privacy of Monero (stealth addresses & zk-privacy — roadmap)
• Interoperability of Cosmos (bridges & rollups)

 

---

❓ How is Bitcoin2 launched?  
Fair launch. No ICO, no presale, no premine. Everyone can mine, build, and participate equally from day one.  

---

❓ How do I get Bitcoin2 (BTC2)?  
At first, by mining on devnet. Later, you can also:  

• Earn BTC2 via community contributions.
• Wrap BTC2 on L2 (WBTC2) for apps & liquidity.
• Trade peer-to-peer once the community sets it up.

 
Note: There is no presale and no official exchange listing.  

---

❓ How do I mine Bitcoin2?  
Mining guides will be posted when the Devnet launches. Mining will be open to CPUs/GPUs in early phases, with details coming soon.  

---

❓ What is the Treasury DAO?  
10% of block rewards go into a community-controlled Treasury DAO.  
Funds are used for:  

• Development grants
• Infrastructure (explorers, wallets, nodes)
• Community initiatives

 

---

❓ Is Bitcoin2 private?  
Basic transactions are public, like Bitcoin. Privacy is a roadmap goal via stealth addresses and zk-proofs.  

---

❓ Where can I follow updates?  

• Forum
• GitHub (coming soon)
• Docs / GitBook (coming soon)
• X (Twitter)

 

---

❓ Is this investment advice?  
No. Bitcoin2 is an open-source community project.  
Do your own research. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

🏛️ Treasury DAO Rules

The Bitcoin2 Treasury DAO manages 10% of block rewards for funding development, tools, and community initiatives.  

Basic process:  

• Submit proposal draft in Governance → Proposals.
• Community discussion & feedback (minimum 7 days).
• If supported, proposal moves to on-chain vote.
• Funds released in stages (milestones preferred).

 


All proposals must serve the Bitcoin2 ecosystem — not personal enrichment.  

🐞 How to Report Bugs

If you find a bug in Bitcoin2 (wallet, node, or contract), please include:

• Version → which software version you are using.
• System → OS, hardware, or device.
• Steps to reproduce → what exactly you did before the bug happened.
• Logs or screenshots if available.

 

Post bug reports in the Testnet/Devnet board. 
Good reports = faster fixes. 

✅ Forum Etiquette — How to Post Effectively

• Use clear titles → “Bitcoin2 Mining Test Results” is better than “Help pls”.
• Search before posting → your question may already have an answer.
• Format your posts with lists, bold, or code tags for readability.
• No ALL CAPS → It looks like shouting.
• Credit sources when sharing external info or code.

 

Following these tips makes the forum easier to read, and helps everyone get answers faster. 

⚠️ Scam Warning — Protect Yourself

Bitcoin2 is a community-driven, fair launch project. This means:

• There is no premine, no ICO, no presale.
• If someone claims to sell you “early Bitcoin2” → it’s a scam.
• Official updates will only come from Bitcoin2.io and this forum.
• Always verify links before downloading software or wallets.

 

Scammers thrive in new projects. Stay alert, and report suspicious posts to moderators. 

📜 Bitcoin2 Community Guidelines

• Stay On-topic → Use the right board for your discussion.
• No Financial Advice → Users are responsible for their own decisions.
• Privacy → Don’t post private info without consent.
• English First → Local boards exist for other languages.

 

Moderators may move, edit, or remove posts that break these guidelines. 

Let’s build the Ideal Upgrade to Bitcoin together in a spirit of respect and collaboration. 

Everyone has a story about how they discovered Bitcoin or altcoins. 

Share yours, and how you ended up here supporting Bitcoin2. 
Let’s get to know each other! 

The Treasury will fund devs, tools, and community. But how strict should rules be? 

• Open proposals for anyone?
• Minimum quorum for votes?
• Should grants have milestones or be paid upfront?

 

Community feedback needed before we finalize DAO logic. 

We are setting up the Bitcoin2 Devnet. 

If you want to: 

• Run a node
• Mine blocks
• Test wallets
• Break things (on purpose)

 

Reply below and we’ll add you to the tester list. 

Where should we launch the first public repo? 

• Bitcoin2 Core (L1)
• Bitcoin2 L2 (EVM contracts + governance)
• Both at the same time

 

Calling devs — share your preference! 

Bitcoin2 will experiment with: 

• Stealth addresses
• zk-send private transfers
• Cross-chain bridges

 

Which should we prioritize in devnet testing? 

Should the first Bitcoin2 wallet focus on: 

• Desktop (Linux/Windows/Mac)
• Mobile (Android/iOS)
• Web/light wallet

 

Vote with your comments — this will guide the devs. 

The Bitcoin2 Treasury DAO gets 10% of block rewards. 

Possible first proposals: 

• Block explorer development
• Wallet integrations
• Community translations
• Audits of the L1 code

 

Which should be the top priority? Post your thoughts below! 

Bitcoin2 L1 uses Proof-of-Work blockDAG with ~1 second blocks. 

Discussion points: 

• Mining hardware (CPU, GPU, ASIC?)
• Difficulty adjustment
• Security assumptions vs Bitcoin’s PoW

 

Early miners, what are your thoughts? 

Got an idea for Bitcoin2? A feature, governance tweak, or marketing push? 

Post it here so we can brainstorm together. 
No idea is too small — the community decides the future of Bitcoin2!
