About the coin (primary summary)
- What the coin is: Block Zero (BLOZ)
- Mining algorithm: RandomX
- CPU-only or not: CPU-only (the project positions itself as maximally friendly to ordinary processors, with no ASIC/GPU advantage)
- Brief description: A new independent Layer 1 Proof‑of‑Work blockchain based on Bitcoin Core code. The project promises a “fair launch” with no premine, no presales, and no venture‑capital involvement, bringing back the spirit of early mining on home PCs.

Main topic of new posts:
Update on Block Zero (BLOZ) development for October 2026 – changes to the wallet/node and the BLOZ ↔ wBLOZ bridge on BSC.
Key news/updates:
- Wallet/node:
- v1.0.0‑rc36 (September 29): default fallback‑fee (1000 sat/kvB) enabled so a wallet without fee‑estimation history doesn’t crash with “Fee estimation failed”.
- v1.0.0‑rc37 (September 29, current release): the smallest unit is no longer called “Satoshi”, now Rex (1 BLOZ = 100 000 000 rex).
- v1.0.0‑rc38 (tag October 2): cleaned remaining references to Bitcoin/BTC/Satoshi in the GUI, installer, and RPC help – now everywhere Block Zero/BLOZ/Rex (wording changes only, no consensus impact).
- Bridge (BLOZ ↔ wBLOZ on BSC):
- October 1: fixed a relayer bug that queried the chain too close to the BSC tip and filled the log with BlockNotFound errors; the relayer now keeps a safe distance and switches among multiple RPC endpoints, errors disappeared.
- October 1: added automatic monitoring (health checks every 5 minutes of the relayer, node, and reserve/wBLOZ ratio).
