Bitcoin Global is a community-driven open-source project. Find more information on how our project works, and how you can help us grow and benefit from it.
Help Bitcoin Global project grow by joining and extending our network. Running any stack will benefit everyone on the network - improving speed, stability and security. Below are some of the ways you can help us.
Download the software release matching your environment and start contributing by running a full node. The details and instructions on how to run a full node can be found on Bitcoin Global release page.
Environment-specific software releases are available on Global Electrum release page.
Bitcoin Global can be mined via same equipment and protocols used for mining Bitcoin, using SHA256 PoW algorithm. Our pool.mainnet.bitcoin-global.io:9223 mining pool supports stratum protocol and can be joined easily by both solo miners and mining pools.
Check global-miner and global-pool for references and guides on how to start mining Bitcoin Global.
Bitcoin Global infrastructure stack is hosted across multiple regions for the sake of availiability, low latency, and decentralization. You can help us by running your own version of the stack by following instruction provided above or guidelines provided and described by global-stack.
