BitcoinII has no company behind it. It is carried by the people who use it, mine it and build it, and this website is built and maintained by volunteers. Come say hello.
Discord (“BitcoinII - BC2 Community”) is the main place for help and discussion.
Other channels
- Telegram
- X (Twitter) TODO(verify): which X account is official: x.com/TheBitcoinIIOrg or x.com/bitcoinii
- Reddit: r/BitcoinII
- GitHub: Bitcoin-II
Watch out for impersonators. Real team members and moderators will never message you first asking for your seed phrase, private keys or a “verification” payment.
Ways to help
Run a node
Every node that checks the rules makes the network stronger. Download BitcoinII Core and leave it running.
Run a DNS seed
DNS seeds help new nodes find peers. Read the DNS seed operator expectations. TODO(verify): how to apply to run a DNS seed
Mine on smaller pools
Spreading hashrate across many pools keeps the network decentralized.
