BitcoinII (BC2) is a clean-genesis Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency that preserves Bitcoin’s original monetary rules with no premine, no VC control, and community-driven governance.

Overview Launched in 2025, BitcoinII (BC2) is a Proof-of-Work digital currency designed as a direct continuation of Satoshi Nakamoto’s peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Rather than modifying Bitcoin or inheriting its blockchain, BitcoinII redeploys the original protocol with a clean genesis block and identical monetary rules — offering a fair relaunch of the Nakamoto system without premine, foundation funding, or investor allocations. Monetary Policy BC2 uses SHA-256 mining and enforces the same economics as Bitcoin: a maximum supply of 21 million coins, a halving approximately every four years, and difficulty adjustments every 2016 blocks. These parameters ensure predictable issuance and long-term scarcity aligned with Bitcoin’s proven economic incentives. Why a Clean Genesis Launch Launching as a fresh network was an intentional design decision. Forking Bitcoin at today’s difficulty would be economically infeasible and highly vulnerable to reorganization or attack. By beginning from difficulty 1, BC2 enables organic and secure hashrate growth tied to its own adoption.. Protocol Compatibility BC2 is fully aligned with Bitcoin’s protocol capabilities, including SegWit and Taproot. Tools, wallets, and key formats work seamlessly across both chains, allowing users and developers to transition or operate in parallel with minimal friction. Focus & Principles Where BC2 diverges is in governance principles. In recent years, Bitcoin development discussions have extended beyond monetary usage — including proposals to expand OP_RETURN and repurpose block space for data storage. BitcoinII rejects this direction and remains focused on Bitcoin’s original purpose as a monetary settlement network, prioritizing sound currency over non-financial applications. Relationship to Bitcoin BitcoinII is not intended to replace Bitcoin. Both networks can run simultaneously on the same hardware without conflict, strengthening resilience through parallel systems based on the same security and consensus model. Governance BitcoinII does not publish a centralized roadmap. Instead, ecosystem direction is determined transparently through: • Community proposals • Miner and node operator input • Open discussion and voting mechanisms This approach ensures no single authority dictates changes, keeping the project aligned with decentralization and user sovereignty. Get Started Miners can point existing SHA-256 hardware at BC2 pools today, and users can generate wallets using the official Core wallet (V27/V29). BitcoinII provides an opportunity for a new generation of participants to join a fair-launch, Bitcoin-aligned Proof-of-Work network — without altering the mathematics, incentives, or economic foundations that made Bitcoin successful. Combined with neutral governance and a truly fair distribution, BC2 reinforces the principles of censorship resistance, security through computation, and globally accessible money. Project Origin & Community BitcoinII (BC2) is a globally distributed, community-owned Proof-of-Work network. The project has no corporate issuer, headquarters, or foundation. Development and infrastructure are maintained by independent contributors, miners, and node operators worldwide, with a strong concentration of early participants based in the United States. Governance is informal and open – progress is driven by community suggestions, discussion, and voting rather than a fixed, centralized roadmap. Key advantages of BC2 over traditional forks: The fresh start is the mechanism that guarantees the purest possible PoW distribution in 2025, something that has been impossible on any Bitcoin hard fork since 2017. No chain-split drama or replay attack risks that plagued BCH/BSV/BTG. Explicit commitment to stay a pure monetary layer (no blockspace for inscriptions/Ordinals, no covenants). Miners can secure both BTC and BC2 at the same time with zero extra cost.
