Qubitcoin (QTC) is a Bitcoin fork that uses Quantum Proof of Work (qPoW) instead of traditional SHA-256 mining. It keeps Bitcoin's 21M supply cap and halving schedule, but miners simulate 16-qubit quantum circuits on GPUs to secure the network.

How is Qubitcoin different from Bitcoin?

Same economics (21M cap, halving every 210k blocks). Different work: Bitcoin miners solve throwaway hash puzzles; Qubitcoin miners run quantum circuit simulations that also advance benchmarking research.

Do I need to understand quantum physics to use Qubitcoin?

No. You need a wallet address and mining software, same as any cryptocurrency. Our Learn section and Academy explain the concepts in plain language if you're curious.

How do I start mining?

Use our guided setup at /start/mine: pick your GPU, choose a miner (OneZeroMiner for NVIDIA), enter your bc1 wallet address, and copy the generated config. Join LuckyPool at qubitcoin.luckypool.io:8610. See /pool for alternatives.

What hardware do I need?

NVIDIA RTX GPUs are best supported via OneZeroMiner and cuQuantum. AMD works with WildRig Multi. CPU mining is possible but much slower.

Which wallet should I use?

Official web wallet at wallet.superquantum.io (fastest). Windows: direct download of qubitcoin-electrum.exe from superquantum.io/files. Community option: Qverse Chrome extension. See /wallet for all verified links. Your receiving address starts with bc1.

Do I need to update my miner or node?

Sometimes yes. Qubitcoin has released emergency hash patches that require updated node, miner, and wallet software. Check /updates for patch history and always verify binaries from superquantum.io or GitHub. Join official Telegram or X for live alerts.

Is Qubitcoin legitimate?

Qubitcoin is an open-source project by Superquantum (non-profit). It's early-stage with limited exchange listings and thin liquidity. Verify all downloads from superquantum.io only. Never share your seed phrase.

Qubitcoin has real open-source code, an active mining pool, and a documented qPoW mechanism. That said, it's a niche experimental project, not financial advice. Do your own research, use official sources only, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Where do I safely download software?

Official site: superquantum.io/qubitcoin. Node and miner source: github.com/super-quantum/qubitcoin. Avoid random download links from Telegram DMs or unofficial sites. See /updates after any network patch.

How do I avoid OTC and Telegram scams?

Official Telegram lists verified OTC admins only, never trust random DMs offering deals or support. No legitimate admin will ask for your seed phrase. Use /community for official channel links only.

What exactly is qPoW?

Quantum Proof of Work. Each mining attempt simulates a 16-qubit circuit (Ry, Rz, CNOT gates) on your GPU. Gate angles come from hashed block data. The simulation output is hashed and compared to the difficulty target.

Troubleshooting

Common problems when setting up mining or wallets. Pick the symptom that matches yours.

Miner won't start▾

Symptoms

Double-clicking the bat/sh file closes instantly
CUDA or GPU driver errors in the console
Antivirus quarantined the miner

Try this

Update NVIDIA drivers (or AMD drivers for WildRig). Restart the PC.
Run the miner from Command Prompt so you can read the error text.
Add an antivirus exception for the miner folder.
Confirm the algorithm is QHash / qhash, not SHA-256 or Ethash.
Re-download the miner from the official link on /pool or /start/mine.

Invalid wallet address▾

Symptoms

Pool rejects your address
Address doesn't start with bc1
Copied the wrong string from the wallet

Try this

QTC uses SegWit addresses starting with bc1. Generate one in the official browser wallet.
Copy the receiving address only, never your seed phrase.
Paste into a text file first to check for extra spaces or line breaks.

0 hashrate or no shares▾

Symptoms

Miner runs but pool dashboard shows zero hashrate
Connected but no shares accepted
Worker name missing on pool site

Try this

Verify pool host and port match your config (LuckyPool default: port 8610 or 8611).
Check firewall allows outbound connections on the pool port.
Use a short worker name (e.g. rig1) with no special characters.
Wait 5-10 minutes; some pools delay stats updates.
Search your bc1 address on the pool site, not the worker name alone.

Wallet won't sync▾

Symptoms

Electrum stuck on synchronizing
Balance not updating after a patch
Transactions not appearing

Try this

Download the latest Electrum build from superquantum.io after network patches.
Restart the wallet completely (quit, not just minimize).
Check /updates for Electrum server restarts or breaking patches.
Browser wallet users: hard refresh and clear site cache if the UI is stale.
