Start Mining Banncoin (BNC)

Public endpoint is open and lightly rate-limited. If you’re a tester, you can connect now.

• banncoin_miner.py
• run_miner.bat (Windows helper)
• run_miner.sh (Linux helper)
• SHA256 (verify integrity)

Place files anywhere (e.g., Downloads\banncoin_site\downloads).

Use your BNC address (starts with bnc1…) for rewards. During testing you may use one of your own addresses.

• bnc1q42uqrkcd7mgduu6klugqg7wrjpxnu93ahgjt7r
• bnc1qf499s7rg246g6qdlszjp3wq4aah8fpyqyhjtt0

Replace with your address when you have your wallet set up.

No BNC address yet? Generate one client-side (works offline).

Tip: you can open wallet.html offline (Airplane Mode) — it works without internet.

Can’t generate right now? You may mine temporarily to our community sink: bnc1q42uqrkcd7mgduu6klugqg7wrjpxnu93ahgjt7r. DM a run screenshot + duration; we’ll tip you once wallet tools ship.

Windows (PowerShell)

cd $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\banncoin_site\downloads
python .\banncoin_miner.py --node 104.248.10.130:17536 --wallet <YOUR_BNC_ADDRESS>

Linux

cd ~/banncoin_downloads
python3 ./banncoin_miner.py --node 104.248.10.130:17536 --wallet <YOUR_BNC_ADDRESS>

You should see job lines like [job] height=… target=… and [submit] {'type':'block_accepted', …} when a seal is found.

Tip height & your totals via the proxy:

https://banncoin.org/live/explorer
https://banncoin.org/live/explorer?addr=<YOUR_BNC_ADDRESS>

The /live proxy is enabled by _redirects and reads from the droplet explorer (port 8333).

• Rewards per block (seal): 458 BNC.
• Target zeros vary (5/6) so the network settles near a reasonable cadence.
• If you see target=8 briefly: that’s a temporary hardening; the miner auto-refreshes the job every ~12s.
• If you use the Windows helper loop, keep one PowerShell window open to watch progress.

This endpoint is beta and lightly rate-limited. Please be kind—report issues and we’ll tune together.
