Project status
Status: technical review / mainnet-candidate materials.
This is a technical review site for an independent Bitcoin-derived experiment. OBTC is not Bitcoin, not a Bitcoin consensus proposal, not a production financial network, and not investment advice.
| Production financial network | No |
| Investment advice | No |
| Price / exchange / liquidity claim | No |
| Miner revenue claim | No |
| Public faucet | No |
| External validation | Pending / limited / only as documented |
| Bitcoin consensus proposal | No |
| Independent chain | Yes |
Reviewer evidence should be described as feedback or internal validation unless a reviewer explicitly agrees to be named and the evidence is public.

These values are mainnet-candidate planning parameters and may change before final release artifacts are published. Implementation source of truth: obtcd/chaincfg/params_obtc.go.
Validation materials
Detailed reviewer evidence is currently available only to invited reviewers. Public evidence links will be added before any stronger public validation claim is made. Final mainnet-candidate release, peer, checksum, network-access policy, and observation links will be filled only when those gates pass.
The public testnet is available through the canonical public self-test entry, using explicit seed peers and manually issued test coins. Current public pages should not rely on private evidence URLs or unlinked txid-level claims.
The remaining gates are mainnet-candidate artifacts and checksums, final network-access policy, the separate mainnet-candidate 72h observation window, and external miner/operator review.
Mainnet-candidate is not complete. Remote signer support, autorenew default-on behavior, faucet, explorer, and broad public promotion materials remain outside the current reviewer-scoped testnet result.
Public mainnet-candidate blockers are tracked in the GitHub milestone. The milestone is a planning surface, not an activation promise.
Open milestoneLimited reviewer reports should include commits, commands, height, best hash, txids, expected behavior, and redacted logs. Public validation channels will be added when the evidence process is ready for non-invited reviewers.
Public testnet self-test
Public testnet access is documented, with manual test coin issuance.There is no public faucet. Testnet coins have no real-world value and are only for testing node sync, wallet receive, expiry inspection, and renewal paths.
Risk boundary
Mainnet-candidate does not mean production-ready financial infrastructure.OBTC is a Bitcoin-derived monetary system designed for long-term sustainability through UTXO lifecycle management, renewal, and REAP. This page does not make an investment, price, exchange listing, liquidity, pool endorsement, or miner revenue claim. Wallet support remains limited to documented testnet paths and is not a production wallet release.
