easyBTX, mine BTX from your computer
Only download from this site. Is it safe? Why antivirus may flag it →
✅ Downloading easyBTX_amd64.AppImage — the right file for Windows. The Windows app IS the Linux build: it runs through WSL2, which is built into Windows 10/11. It mines your NVIDIA card far harder than the old native build ever did, and it updates itself from then on — this is the last install you'll ever do. Full copy-paste guide + video →
The whole setup, once:
- Open PowerShell as administrator and run
wsl --install, then restart your PC. - In the Ubuntu window that opens after the restart, paste the one-line installer from the Windows guide — it fetches this same build, launches it, and auto-updates forever.
Same file as the Linux download. Want to check it first? See the VirusTotal scan.
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":
- Double-click easyBTX. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the easyBTX notice and click Open Anyway.
- 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.
