Apple Silicon & NVIDIA easyBTX Your keys, your machine.
First time opening it?

easyBTX is an indie app and currently unsigned (no paid signing certificate), so your computer warns you the first time. That's expected for small indie apps, and you only clear it once.

On Mac you get one of two messages, depending on your macOS version. Both are the same underlying thing, an unsigned app carrying the "downloaded from the internet" tag, and both clear once.

Most often, macOS says easyBTX is "damaged and can't be opened." It is not damaged. Drag easyBTX into your Applications folder, then run this once in Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal):

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/easyBTX.app

Then open easyBTX normally. That command only clears the download tag macOS adds to unsigned apps. It does not change the app.

If instead macOS says it "can't verify the developer":

  1. Double-click easyBTX. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the easyBTX notice and click Open Anyway.
  4. Confirm with Touch ID or your password. You only do this once.

On Windows, easyBTX runs through WSL2, the faster Linux engine, so there's no separate Windows installer and no SmartScreen prompt. The download is the Linux build; follow the Windows / WSL2 steps on the install page to set it up. Every command is copy-paste, and from then on it updates itself.

Unsigned indie app. Verify it yourself on VirusTotal: Mac scan · Windows scan · Linux scan. A few engines flag easyBTX as a miner / PUP / RiskTool, on Mac, Windows, and Linux. That's accurate (it really is a cryptocurrency miner) and expected for any unsigned miner, not malware. Kaspersky even labels it "not-a-virus." Microsoft's "Trojan…!ml", which Windows Defender may also show, is a generic machine-learning false positive that hits unsigned indie apps everywhere. easyBTX is not a Trojan, and it mines only to a wallet you control. Code signing, Apple notarization on Mac and a signing certificate on Windows, clears these warnings and is on the roadmap.

Three ways to take part

easyBTX started as a miner. It is now the home of the tools that let an ordinary computer mine BTX, verify it, and hold it.

Mine it

easyBTX

One app for Mac, Windows and Linux. It joins a mining pool, pays out to a wallet you control, and keeps itself up to date. No accounts, no sign-up.

  • Apple silicon, or an NVIDIA GPU on Windows and Linux
  • Self-custodial wallet built in, send and receive
  • Fees stated up front, in the app and on this site
Verify it

easyNode for BTX

A full BTX node as a calm desktop app. It checks the chain for itself rather than trusting anyone's server, and answers questions about BTX from your own verified copy.

  • Menu-bar status, one-click setup
  • Keeper mode serves signed block confirmations to the network
  • Node Guardian diagnoses a node that has stopped moving
Hold it

A wallet that is yours

BTX addresses are post-quantum, and the keys stay on your machine. The miner has a wallet built in; two dedicated wallets go further, on desktop and on mobile.

  • PQ Wallet for macOS, Windows and Linux
  • bonuz on mobile
  • No custodian at any point, ever

What BTX actually is

BTX is a fork of Bitcoin built to survive quantum computers. Where Bitcoin signs with elliptic-curve keys that a large enough quantum machine would break, BTX signs with post-quantum keys. Everything else stays recognisably Bitcoin: a fixed supply of 21,000,000, no premine, coins created only by mining, and no company able to issue more.

Its proof-of-work is matrix multiplication, the same arithmetic that modern AI hardware is built for. On 10 August 2026, at block 185,000, that work changed shape: one mining attempt went from a small multiplication repeated millions of times a second to a single large pass that takes roughly half a minute. It changed what hardware can mine and made shares much rarer.
