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.

Glossary

Terms, explained

Jargon-free definitions. Tap or hover underlined terms in Learn, Academy, and FAQ for quick tooltips.

qPoW

Quantum Proof of Work, mining by simulating quantum circuits instead of random hash puzzles.

Miners run 16-qubit circuits with Ry, Rz, and CNOT gates. Output expectation values become a 256-bit hash checked against network difficulty.

QHash qubit

QHash

The mining algorithm used by Qubitcoin. Your miner must support qhash/qPoW.

qPoW

qubit

A quantum bit, the basic unit in a quantum circuit. Qubitcoin uses 16 qubits per mining attempt.

CNOT qPoW

CNOT

A quantum gate that entangles two qubits, the control qubit influences the target.

qubit qPoW

ASIC

Specialized mining hardware. Bitcoin uses ASICs; Qubitcoin is optimized for GPUs instead.

GPU

Graphics card, the recommended hardware for Qubitcoin mining (NVIDIA RTX best supported).

cuQuantum OneZeroMiner

cuQuantum

NVIDIA's SDK for GPU-accelerated quantum simulation. Qubitcoin uses cuStateVec under the hood.

GPU qPoW

BYOS

Bring Your Own Solver, plug a custom quantum simulator backend into the mining process.

qPoW

ASERT

Difficulty adjustment algorithm that keeps block times stable as hashrate changes.

halving

Block reward cuts in half every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). Same schedule as Bitcoin.

QTC ASERT

QTC

Qubitcoin's native coin. Max supply: 21 million.

halving wallet

stratum

The protocol miners use to connect to a pool. Example: stratum+tcp://qubitcoin.luckypool.io:8610

pool worker

pool

A mining pool combines hashrate from many miners to find blocks more consistently. Main pool: LuckyPool.

stratum worker

worker

A label for your mining rig (e.g. bc1q...myrig). Helps track machines on the pool dashboard.

pool wallet

wallet

Stores your QTC. Addresses start with bc1. Use the browser wallet or Electrum for desktop.

worker QTC

OneZeroMiner

Popular mining software for NVIDIA GPUs with native QHash support.

GPU QHash

bc1

Prefix for QTC SegWit wallet addresses. Your receiving address for mining and withdrawals starts with bc1.

wallet QTC

nonce

A number miners change on each attempt to produce a different circuit hash.

qPoW difficulty

difficulty

How hard it is to find a valid block. The network adjusts it so blocks stay ~10 minutes apart.

ASERT qPoW

Electrum

Desktop wallet software. Qubitcoin ships a custom Electrum build from Superquantum.

wallet bc1

LuckyPool

The default mining pool in the setup wizard. stratum+tcp://qubitcoin.luckypool.io:8610

pool stratum

qhash/s

Quantum hashes per second. Measures full qPoW cycles, not comparable to Bitcoin TH/s.
