The Bttc Foundation is releasing the genesis information for the Bttc mainnet along with associated Release software.
Please be aware that there is no guarantee a network will start from this recommendation - nodes and validators may never come online, the community may disregard the recommendation and choose different genesis files, and/or they may modify the software in arbitrary ways. Such outcomes and many more are outside the Bttc Foundation's control and completely in the hands of the community.
The recommended genesis file is genesis.json. It has the following SHA256 hash:
$ shasum -a 256 bttc/genesis.json
133e1b696be10b88c9eae6b9a63c4aeada77e597fe75213cc082228bb8eb047a bttc/genesis.json
$ shasum -a 256 delivery/config/genesis.json

The recommended software version is master branch of the delivery and bttc node software. See the installation instructions and the guide to join mainnet here.
Users wishing to interact with the network should carefully review how to protect themselves and the security advisories in the recent communication provided in the docs on preparing for mainnet launch.
Please note that this is highly experimental software. In these early days, we can expect to have issues, updates, and bugs. The existing tools require advanced technical skills and involve risks which are outside of the control of the Bttc Foundation and/or the Bttc team. Any use of this open source software is done at your own risk and on a “AS IS” basis, without warranties or conditions of any kind, and any and all liability of the Bttc Foundation and/or the Bttc team for damages arising in connection to the software is excluded. Please exercise extreme caution!
Further, please note that it remains in the community's sole discretion to adopt or not to adopt the recommended genesis info and associated software.
We request known community members who wish to run public p2p seed nodes make pull requests to add community run seed nodes below.
