Proof of work · Robinhood Chain
The forge
is open.
Every BTCF in existence was hashed into being. No premine, no owner, no admin key, the contract mints only when it re-computes your work and finds it good.
Step zero

BTCFoundry.sol is compiled and bundled with this page. Deploying it
from your own wallet is a single transaction, you pay the gas, you own nothing special
afterwards. The contract has no owner, no premine and no admin function, so the deployer
gets no privilege of any kind. Once it lands, mining opens for everybody at difficulty 1.
Doubles every time the target halves.
Halves every 210,000 blocks.
Next halving in 210,000 blocks.

Read this before you mine
This does not mine Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is mined on Bitcoin, by machines built for it. Nothing running in a browser tab can produce BTC, and any site telling you otherwise is selling something.
What the forge does is take Bitcoin's monetary rules and settle them with genuine proof of work on Robinhood Chain: a 21,000,000 hard cap, a reward of 50 that halves every 210,000 blocks, and a difficulty that retargets to hold a steady block time. Your browser searches for a nonce; the contract re-hashes it and mints only if the work checks out. That part is real, and every block is verifiable on the explorer.
BTCF is what you mine. It is not Bitcoin, it is not backed by Bitcoin, and it is not redeemable for Bitcoin. Gas costs real ETH on Robinhood Chain, and a block you lose to a faster miner costs you nothing but the electricity you already spent.
