Network identity

Bitcoin-style monetary rules, BitStar branding.

The public identity is intentionally simple: scarce supply, proof-of-work validation, clear launch warnings, and source-first transparency.

Launch roadmap

From local bootstrap to public network.

A credible launch needs more than code. BitStar still needs seed nodes, explorer infrastructure, signed releases, public launch timing, legal review, and community validation.

01

Bootstrap

Source, Windows build, local mining, transfer, two-node sync

02

Fair launch prep

Clean rebuild, fresh genesis rehearsal, signed checksums

03

Network

Seed nodes, monitoring, explorer, mining pool compatibility

04

Review

Security review, legal review, transparent listing materials

Important

No exchange listing is guaranteed.

BitStar is pre-release software. Do not use bootstrap builds for public funds, merchant payments, custody, or exchange deposits. Serious listings require a stable network, explorer, wallets, liquidity plan, legal review, security history, and real community.
