One side note: Bitcoinereum has nothing to do with 0xBTC.
What is Bitcoinereum?
Bitcoinereum is a Bitcoin like Minable Ethereum ERC20 Token, the first of this kind.
It brings the Bitcoin Supply mechanism into a Smart Contract allowing a bitcoin like currency to run on the ethereum blockchain.
It is an easy to mine Ethereum Token, anyone can mine Bitcoinereum! Scroll down for all instructions on how to mine!
Mining Reward
The mining reward of Bitcoinereum is the same as bitcoin in its perfect conditions.
Initially, 50 coins are generated every 10 minutes (same like bitcoin in the beginning).
The Mining is done by calling the function Mine() of the Smart Contract.
Users only require to have few ETH in their wallets to pay the ethereum network fees.
To avoid mining monopoly and better distribution, each call to the Mine() function delivers 1 Bitcoinereum to the sender, only a total of 50 calls are allowed per 10 minutes (totaling the max of 50 coins generated per 10 minutes).
Reward Halving
Like in bitcoin, Bitcoinereum comes with reward halving.
Every 4 years the Mining Reward will be halved.
Supply
The total max supply is 21,000,000 Bitcoinereum, same like in bitcoin.
Coins can only be generated via Mining, there is no other possibility to generate coins.
The initial Supply is 0 Bitcoinereum.
It will take approximately 132 years to mine all Bitcoinereum.

Bitcoinereum Mining works by calling the Smart Contract function Mine().
Don't panic, it's not that difficult! Follow the steps below and you are good to go!
The principle is easy:
- The higher the ETH transaction fee, the faster your transaction will be processed. (example: 21 GWEI)
- The lower the ETH transaction fee, the slower your transaction will be processed. (example: 1 GWEI)
Remember: Only 50 coins can be mined every 10 minutes, each valid call receives 1 Bitcoinereum in return.
Below we show how Bitcoinereum can be mined with Myetherwallet.com, however anyone can use any kind of wallet that supports calling Smart Contract functions.
Geth is the official Ethereum Core Wallet and is the best way to mine Bitcoinereum. Below we provide scripts that can be used to mine Bitcoinereum automatically, all you have to do is to leave Geth running.
