Symbol: 0xBTC
Bitcoin was ported onto Ethereum as 0xBTC on Feb-06-2018 04:03:46 AM +UTC. It is the first PoW-mineable erc-20 token. It has the same halvings, difficulty, eras, and total coin cap of Bitcoin, but with the speed, and versatility of an ERC20 token on Ethereum.
The purpose of this project is to provide the Ethereum community with a tool. This tool is the first truly Proof of Work mined token on Ethereum. This tool is also the first decentralized payment mechanism on Ethereum besides Ether itself. This is important because Ether is not designed to be a currency or to be a base pair. It is designed to be the lifeblood for the Ethereum Network. Ether is only a 'means to an end' for that purpose and would not exist if the Ethereum network could be secured without it.
