MyOwnBTC - Chain-Neutral Blockchain SystemMyOwnBTC(
MyOwnBTC.com) is a system that allows a single software installation to run multiple, independent blockchains. Instead of automatically following network consensus, users manually select which blockchain fork to synchronize with.
Core Technology:- User-Controlled Fork Selection: All blockchains share a common genesis block but diverge at the first block (height one).
- A user selects a specific chain by providing the unique hash of its first block through a configuration file or command-line argument. The node will only sync with peers on that specific chain.
Key Features & Benefits:- Single Binary, Multiple Chains: One executable can power an unlimited number of blockchains, determined at runtime.
- No Code Changes: Deploying new, separate blockchains is done entirely through configuration.
- Fast Deployment & Lower Cost: Significantly reduces deployment time and maintenance costs by using a single codebase.
- Secure & Compatible: Built on the proven Bitcoin Core foundation and works with existing wallets and tools.
Primary Use Cases:- Versatile Chain Management: Easily manage and operate multiple independent chains for different purposes from a single software instance.
- Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS): Quickly deploy custom blockchains.
- Research: Study fork dynamics across multiple experimental chains with consistent tooling.
In essence, MyOwnBTC transforms a blockchain node from a passive "consensus-follower" into a "user-controlled chain-selector."
