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.</p> </div> </div> </section> <!-- FIRST REAL POST: MAINNET LAUNCH --> <section class="mb-section"> <div class="mb-container"> <div class="mb-section-head mb-reveal"> <span class="mb-eyebrow">17 Oct 2026</span> <h2 class="mb-section-title">Mainnet relaunched from a clean genesis.</h2> </div> <div class="mb-card mb-reveal" style="max-width: 760px; margin: 0 auto;"> <div class="mb-card-text" style="line-height: 1.8;"> <p>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.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0.9rem;">Mainnet starts from a fresh genesis block whose coinbase message is permanent and verifiable by anyone:</p> <p style="margin-top: 0.9rem;"><code>MoonBite: fair launch, no premine, every coin mined from zero</code></p> <p style="margin-top: 0.9rem;">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.</p> <div class="mb-cta-row" style="margin-top: 1.2rem;"> <a href="/mine" class="btn btn-primary">Start mining</a> <a href="/explorer" class="btn btn-secondary">Watch the chain from block 0</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <!-- HONESTY BANNER --> <section class="mb-section"> <div class="mb-container"> <div class="mb-banner mb-reveal"> <span>One real post lives here so far — the mainnet launch note above.
