Welcome to the spacechain launcher. On this page you can launch your own bitcoin sidechain and start earning money from your users.

Now let's get started! Click the button to make your own spacechain.
Creating your spacechain is a three step process.
Step 1. Give your spacechain a name
And a genesis message
Step 2. Create the genesis block, the first block of your sidechain
Your genesis block
Your spacechain's name
Your spacechain's genesis message
Step 3. Launch your network
Behold the network
There are currently 0 people mining this spacechain, not counting yourself (if you are mining). Miners are who you get blocks from, so if no one is mining it, you will not see any blocks unless your browser downloaded them previously.
Read before clicking! Your spacechain will be stored on *your computer only* until other people on your network download your blocks from you and validate them. Bitcoin miners won't serve your spacechain's blocks. (They don't even know your spacechain exists, because spacechains use *blind* merge mining.) If you make a spacechain, other people won't be able to view it or see it, even if you share a link to it, unless they have someone to get its blocks from. Therefore, I strongly recommend you register as a miner of your own spacechain in the Mining Center (you'll see it after you create your spacechain) and then keep the Mining Center open until many other people start mining your spacechain too. The way I coded this up, users of a spacechain can only get blocks by requesting them directly from miners of a spacechain (that can change in the future but it's how it works right now), and initially that's probably just going to be you. So if you close the Mining Center before anyone else is serving your blocks, no one will be able to view it. Just like how the bitcoin network would completely halt if all the nodes on the bitcoin network all turned off at the same time, your spacechain will appear completely blockless if no one is mining it and thus serving its blocks to your users.
