Frequently asked questions
What is BitcoinCore and how is it different from Bitcoin?
BitcoinCore is the reference implementation of Bitcoin - the software that defines the Bitcoin protocol. While 'Bitcoin' refers to the cryptocurrency and network, BitcoinCore is the specific software that nodes use to participate in the network.
How does BitcoinCore's technology work?
BitcoinCore uses Proof-of-Work consensus, where miners solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and create new blocks. The software maintains the blockchain and enforces all Bitcoin protocol rules.
How are new BTTC coins created?
New BTTC coins are mined through block rewards - miners receive freshly minted coins as compensation for securing the network. The emission rate halves approximately every four years in an event called 'halving'.
How can I store and use BitcoinCore?
You can store BTTC in any Bitcoin-compatible wallet. For maximum security, use the official BitcoinCore wallet which gives you full control as you run a full node, though it requires downloading the entire blockchain.
