Blog

No posts. Just work.

MoonBite is live and heads-down. The real build log is the source history at moonbite.org/git, updated every time code lands. Written posts show up here only when there's something worth your time — not before.

Mainnet relaunched from a clean genesis.

MoonBite's earlier chains — a public beta and an interim relaunch — served their purpose and are now retired. Every balance on them, the founder's included, is void. Mainnet starts clean.

Mainnet starts from a fresh genesis block whose coinbase message is permanent and verifiable by anyone:

MoonBite: fair launch, no premine, every coin mined from zero

From block 0, everyone mines under the same rules: 10 MBITE per 2-minute block, halving every 1,650,000 blocks, a ~33,000,000 MBITE cap, RandomX CPU proof-of-work. No premine, no presale, no allocation. Download the miner, run one command, and you compete from the same start line as everyone else — including us.

One real post lives here so far — the mainnet launch note above. The cards below are topics we plan to cover, not articles you can read yet. When a piece is real, it takes a placeholder's spot, exactly like the launch note did.
Right now

The real log lives in the source

Every decision, change, and tradeoff is written down — in commits and in Architecture Decision Records. Public, readable, no account required. Don't take our word for it; read it.

Commit history

The most detailed record we have. Every change to the node, the wallet, the site, and the tooling is logged with a description. It's messy, granular, and honest — which is the whole point.

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

The big calls — emission schedule, fee model, fair-launch policy, founder allocation — live in ADR files, with the reasoning attached. Right now they're the closest thing to long-form writing on MoonBite.

What we plan to write

Topics we intend to cover — not posts you can read yet. No dates, no authors, no previews. When a piece is live, it takes one of these cards' place.

How MoonBite mining works — upcoming
RandomX proof-of-work, plainly. How difficulty gets set, and what your miner is actually grinding on. Written for curious people who aren't cryptographers.
Why fair launch? — upcoming
No premine. No ICO. No founder allocation. Why we made those calls — and why they belong in consensus code, not a promise nobody can enforce.
Self-custody without fear — upcoming
A plain guide to holding your own keys — backing up a seed, checking an address, and why "not your keys, not your coins" is a fact, not a bumper sticker.
From Litecoin Core to MoonBite — upcoming
What we changed, what we kept, and why forking a battle-tested codebase isn't cutting corners — it's building on ground that already holds weight.
Security hardening: what we shipped — upcoming
A straight look at what's built into the node, wallet, and explorer — TLS pinning, auth requirements, fee caps, the SOS vault. And an honest note on what has and hasn't been audited yet.
The path to mainnet — upcoming
What has to be true before mainnet goes live — an honest tally of what's done, what isn't, and what we're still watching. No hype dates. Just the checklist.

Catch the first post when it lands

We'll email you when MBITE lists on an exchange. If the blog is live by then, that same email will point you to it. Nothing else.

We'll only email you about the exchange listing. No price predictions, no spam.
