It generates your private key locally — that key never leaves your device. Setup hands you a seed phrase: write it on paper, lock it somewhere safe, and never hand it to anyone. Not a support agent, not this website, not anyone.</p> <a href="/get-wallet" class="btn btn-secondary" style="margin-top: 1rem; display: inline-block;">Download wallet →</a> </div> <div class="mb-milestone is-done mb-reveal"> <div class="mb-milestone-phase">Step 2</div> <h3>Generate a receive address</h3> <p>Inside the wallet, spin up a new receive address (it'll start with <code>moon1</code>). This is where your mining rewards land. Copy it — the next step needs it.</p> <a href="/wallet" class="btn btn-secondary" style="margin-top: 1rem; display: inline-block;">Open wallet →</a> </div> <div class="mb-milestone is-active mb-reveal"> <div class="mb-milestone-phase">Step 3</div> <h3>Mine your first MBITE</h3> <p>Open the miner and paste in your address. It runs RandomX proof-of-work to compete for block rewards. Find a valid block and the whole reward pays straight to your address — no pool, no middleman, no cut.</p> <a href="/mine" class="btn btn-secondary" style="margin-top: 1rem; display: inline-block;">Start mining →</a> </div> <div class="mb-milestone mb-reveal"> <div class="mb-milestone-phase">Step 4</div> <h3>Verify it in the explorer</h3> <p>Paste your address into the block explorer and watch the balance climb in real time. Every confirmation is written on-chain. No account, no login, nobody's permission needed to check what you own — the chain is the record.</p> <a href="/explorer" class="btn btn-secondary" style="margin-top: 1rem; display: inline-block;">Open explorer →</a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="mb-section" style="background: var(--bg-secondary); border-top: 1px solid var(--border-color); border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-color);"> <div class="mb-container"> <div class="mb-section-head mb-reveal"> <span class="mb-eyebrow">What to expect</span> <h2 class="mb-section-title">The honest version for new miners</h2> </div> <div class="mb-grid mb-grid-3"> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>Block time: ~2 minutes</h3> <p>The network aims for a new block every 120 seconds. Your odds of finding one track your share of the total hash rate.</p> </div> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>Current reward: 10 MBITE</h3> <p>The genesis block subsidy is 10 MBITE, and it halves every 1,650,000 blocks. Total supply is capped at ~33,000,000 MBITE — for all time, no exceptions.</p> </div> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>No market value yet</h3> <p>MBITE isn't listed on any exchange yet. The coins you mine now are real chain coins, but they carry no monetary value today. Mine to take part — not because you're expecting a price.</p> </div> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>Seed phrase = your coins</h3> <p>Lose the seed phrase and the coins are gone for good. No support team can bring them back — that team doesn't exist. Write it down, keep it offline, back it up.</p> </div> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>RandomX PoW</h3> <p>MoonBite runs on RandomX proof-of-work — the CPU-optimized algorithm behind Monero. A plain CPU is the ideal miner: GPUs gain almost nothing and no ASIC exists. The laptop you already own is competitive hardware.</p> </div> <div class="mb-feature mb-reveal"> <h3>Run a node to go deeper</h3> <p>A full node validates the whole chain on your own machine. Optional for individuals — but it cuts your dependence on third-party servers to zero.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="mb-section"> <div class="mb-container"> <div class="mb-section-head mb-reveal"> <span class="mb-eyebrow">Quick reference</span> <h2 class="mb-section-title">Terminal, if that's your thing</h2> <p class="mb-section-sub">Prefer the command line?
