Bitcoin Libre puts Bitcoin in your hands. Send, receive, and manage Bitcoin from one wallet, with a clear choice between Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network and Fast Bitcoin on Libre. YOUR BITCOIN WALLET • Create a wallet or restore one with a recovery phrase. • See balances and recent activity in one place. • Receive Bitcoin with an address and QR code, or send it to another wallet. • Choose which supported assets appear in your wallet. • Protect app access with an optional PIN and Face ID or Touch ID. BITCOIN ON YOUR TERMS Native Bitcoin transactions use the Bitcoin network. Fast Bitcoin is a separate asset on Libre for transfers within the Libre network. Check the selected asset and network before sending. CREATE A WALLET WITH PHYSICAL DICE Easy Entropy lets you create a recovery phrase from 50 rolls of a physical six-sided die. Enter each result in the app, then verify the resulting phrase yourself. Your rolls are the source of this dice-based wallet's key; the app does not add its own randomness to those rolls. Keep your recovery phrase secret and store it somewhere safe. Anyone who has it can access your wallet. Bitcoin Libre gives you tools to manage your Bitcoin, with the network and asset details visible as you use them.

Mining Race introduces a community cloud-based mining service to capitalize on the power of the Mining Race Network called The Mining Grid, which establishes connections between the community's miners and the world's largest mining pools. Race here stands for 'Redistributed Assets Coordination Ecosystem'. It is an innovative business method used in the Mining Race System. Users can now join the system and readily plug in their mining devices and collect rewards generated from their mining contribution within the network. The core of Mining Race's offering is the Community Mining Program, purposefully designed to unite miners from around the globe within the Mining Race Network. By subscribing to the service, participants, also known as Racers, are assigned a Spot in the network where they can connect their own mining devices, facilitating the equitable redistribution of mining rewards through a transparent and pre-programmed structure. The collective power of the community mining devices harnessed through the Mining Race Network, plays a pivotal role in contributing to and being connected with the world's largest mining pools. This seamless integration ensures that Racers' mining efforts collectively contribute to the overall success of the mining ecosystem. Our utmost priority is to foster a strong and closely-knit mining community. Through the integration of Spots into the Mining Race network, Racers not only gain access to additional income opportunities but also revel in the benefits of being part of a vibrant and supportive community. We are proud to pioneer the world's first community-based mining program, driven by the collective strength and collaboration of its members.
