Getting Started with QSBitcoin

What is QSBitcoin (Quantum-Safe Bitcoin)?

QSBitcoin (Quantum-Safe Bitcoin) is an experimental digital currency designed to be resistant to attacks from quantum computers. Like Bitcoin, it operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network, but it uses advanced post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to secure transactions and protect user funds against future threats.

Important Note: QSBitcoin is currently a research project. It is not intended for production use or financial investment at this stage. Use it experimentally and understand the risks involved.

Step 1: Choose Your Wallet

To use QSBitcoin, you need a wallet. A wallet stores your private keys, which are needed to access and spend your QSBitcoin. Since QSBitcoin uses different cryptography than Bitcoin, you need a specific QSBitcoin-compatible wallet.

Visit our Wallets page to find recommended wallet options. Choose one that suits your needs (desktop, mobile, etc.) and follow its instructions for setup and security.

Security Reminder: Always back up your wallet's recovery phrase (seed phrase) securely and never share it with anyone.

Step 2: Acquire QSBitcoin

As QSBitcoin is a research project, acquiring it might differ from established cryptocurrencies. Potential ways (subject to availability based on project phase) include:

• Testnet Faucets: If a test network is active, you might be able to get free test QSBitcoin from a faucet for experimentation.
• Community Distribution: Early participants or contributors might receive QSBitcoin through community programs.
• Experimental Exchanges: In later phases, QSBitcoin might be listed on specific exchanges. Check the Exchanges page for updates.
• Mining: You can contribute computing power to help secure the network and potentially earn QSBitcoin. See the Mining page.

For the latest information on how to acquire QSBitcoin, please refer to the Buy QSBitcoin page and official project announcements.

Step 3: Use QSBitcoin

Once you have a wallet and some QSBitcoin, you can:

• Send and receive payments with others using QSBitcoin.
• Explore transaction details on a QSBitcoin block explorer (if available).
• Participate in testing new features as they are developed.

Step 4: Get Involved

QSBitcoin is an open-source project driven by its community. You can contribute in various ways:

• Development: Contribute code, review changes, or report bugs. (Development page)
• Mining: Help secure the network. (Mining page)
• Community: Join discussions, help others, and spread awareness. (Community page)
• Feedback: Provide feedback on the technology and documentation.
