Apple Silicon & NVIDIA easyBTX Your keys, your machine.
First time opening it?

easyBTX is an indie app and currently unsigned (no paid signing certificate), so your computer warns you the first time. That's expected for small indie apps, and you only clear it once.

On Mac, macOS says it "can't verify the developer." Here's how to open it:

  1. Double-click easyBTX. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the easyBTX notice and click Open Anyway.
  4. Confirm with Touch ID or your password. You only do this once.

If instead macOS says easyBTX is "damaged and can't be opened", that's just the download-quarantine flag on an unsigned app. Drag easyBTX into your Applications folder, then run this once in Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal):

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/easyBTX.app

Then open easyBTX normally. It's safe. That command only clears the "downloaded from the internet" tag macOS adds to unsigned apps; it doesn't change the app.

On Windows, easyBTX runs through WSL2, the faster Linux engine, so there's no separate Windows installer and no SmartScreen prompt. The download is the Linux build; follow the Windows / WSL2 steps on the install page to set it up. Every command is copy-paste, and from then on it updates itself.

Unsigned indie app. Verify it yourself on VirusTotal: Mac scan · Windows scan · Linux scan. A few engines flag easyBTX as a miner / PUP / RiskTool, on Mac, Windows, and Linux. That's accurate (it really is a Bitcoin miner) and expected for any unsigned miner, not malware. Kaspersky even labels it "not-a-virus." Microsoft's "Trojan…!ml", which Windows Defender may also show, is a generic machine-learning false positive that hits unsigned indie apps everywhere. easyBTX is not a Trojan, and it mines only to a wallet you control. Code signing, Apple notarization on Mac and a signing certificate on Windows, clears these warnings and is on the roadmap.

easyBTX rides to Windows and Linux: a chrome surfer trailing Bitcoin-orange energy between the Windows and Linux logos

NEW · LINUX & WSL · v0.9.7

Now on Windows + Linux, and it keeps itself current.

🔥 On Windows? easyBTX runs through WSL. The Linux engine mines your very same NVIDIA card far harder than the old native Windows build ever did, and from the first run on, easyBTX updates itself. Set it up once, then forget about it. One build for Windows and Linux alike.

  • Updates itself, automatically. New versions download, verify, and install on their own, just like the Mac. No reinstalls, no commands. Every update is cryptographically signed end-to-end.
  • Mines through blocked networks. On firewalled hotel, office, or campus Wi-Fi it falls back to a secure TLS connection on its own. No VPN.
  • A built-in command cheat sheet. Copy-paste commands inside the app, each with a one-click Copy and a badge telling you exactly which terminal to use.
BTX Node running: a green READY status with block height 158,028, 14 peers, uptime, node version, and disk usage

NEW · BTX NODE · v0.3 · MAC, WINDOWS, LINUX

Two ways to back BTX. Mine it, or run a node.

The miner earns. BTX Node supports. One click runs a full, verified BTX node that sits quietly in your menu bar or tray, checking every block against the rules and helping the network stay decentralized. No mining, no account, near-zero power. Now on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

  • Ask your node. Chain height, supply, the next halving, fees, mining difficulty, any block, straight from your own verified copy of the chain. Every answer is cited; nothing leaves your computer.
  • An optional wallet, answered by your own node. Create or import a post-quantum BTX wallet and read its balance from your node, not a public explorer. Off by default.
  • A peaceful product. About a tenth of one CPU core and LED-bulb-class power once synced. The app cleans up after itself and shows exactly what it uses.

A one-click GPU miner for Mac, Windows, and Linux, with a built-in self-custodial wallet to receive, hold, and send your BTX.
