Policy Update: TEXITcoin Mining Beyond Texas via the In-Home Miner Program

From day one, our promise was simple: TEXITcoin is mined in Texas. That single sentence has anchored our identity, our marketing, and our values since genesis.

Today we are updating that policy — carefully, deliberately, and with the full story documented for every participant.

What is changing

From day one we said TEXITcoin was mined exclusively in Texas. With the MineTXC in-home miner program now battle-tested, we are formally expanding participation beyond Texas — without changing how TXC, ISK, or ZCU are earned or distributed. Here is exactly what changes, what does not, and why this makes the network stronger.

Effective immediately, TEXITcoin can now be mined from outside of Texas through the MineTXC in-home miner program. Approved participants who have accumulated enough hash power through MineTXC are eligible to host an in-home miner regardless of their physical location.

This is a real change. We are not hiding from it. We are documenting it here so every miner, holder, and observer has the same information at the same time.

What is not changing

This is the part that matters most, so read it twice:

• TXC payouts are still pool-managed. The in-home miner contributes hash to the main pool. TXC, ISK (Iskander), and ZCU (Zero Chill) are distributed proportionally to all miners through the pool, exactly as they always have been.
• Your TXC earnings do not change based on where the hardware sits. Whether a unit runs in Lubbock or in Lisbon, it does not move TXC, ISK, or ZCU rewards around. The pool math is the same.
• No private keys, no permissioned entry. Since we open-sourced TEXITcoin Core and removed the network key, participating nodes no longer require keys to operate. Everyone enters through the same front door, on the same level playing field.

How the in-home miner actually works

The in-home miner is a multi-coin device. It mines:

• Litecoin (LTC)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)
• TEXITcoin (TXC)
• Iskander (ISK)
• Zero Chill (ZCU)

The split is intentional:

• Litecoin and Dogecoin are paid directly to the in-home miner's own account. That is the host's reward for providing power, space, internet, and uptime to the network.
• TXC, ISK, and ZCU flow into the main pool and are distributed proportionally to all participating miners — the same rules, the same math, the same payout cadence.

The in-home host gets the LTC/DOGE upside as compensation for hosting the rig. The pool keeps the integrity of TXC issuance fully intact.

Why we are doing this now

This is not a sudden pivot. It is the next step of a multi-quarter rollout:

1. Pilot with TEXIT Rangers. We placed in-home units with trusted TEXIT Rangers first. The pilot ran cleanly, payouts were correct, and the security model held.
2. Open-source release of TEXITcoin Core. The code is now public and auditable.
3. Removal of the permissioning key. Nodes no longer need a key to participate. The network is permissionless.
4. Maturity of pool accounting. Years of clean pool payouts have proven that geography of the hardware does not affect TXC distribution — only contributed hash does.

With those four pieces in place, the network is mature enough, secure enough, and tested enough that we are confident allowing small home miners outside of Texas does not compromise integrity. If anything, it strengthens us.

Why this makes TEXITcoin stronger

A network that lives in one ZIP code is fragile. A network distributed across regions is resilient.

• Geographic decentralization. Hash power spread across more locations is harder to disrupt, regulate out of existence, or knock offline by a single grid event.
• Geopolitical diversification. TEXITcoin remains a Texas-born, Texas-led project. The leadership, the treasury, the brand, and the mission are all anchored here. But the hash now has somewhere to go if any single jurisdiction becomes hostile.
• More participants, same rules. Bigger network, same level playing field, same pool math.

What stays uniquely Texan

We want to be precise about what "mined in Texas" meant, and what part of that promise carries forward unchanged:

• TEXITcoin is founded in Texas, led from Texas, and culturally Texan — that does not change.
• The main mining operation is still in Texas. The in-home program is additive hash, not a replacement.
• The pool, payouts, and governance all run from Texas.

What changes is a single, narrow thing: eligible in-home miners may now operate the rig from outside Texas. That is the policy update.

What you need to do

• If you hold TXC: nothing. Your holdings, payouts, and rights are unchanged.
• If you mine through the pool: nothing. Your share of TXC, ISK, and ZCU is unchanged.
• If you want an in-home miner: keep accumulating hash through MineTXC. Once you cross the eligibility threshold, you can host a unit from anywhere we can legally ship one.

The bottom line

We made a promise. We are updating it in public, with the full reasoning, the full mechanics, and the full math.

TEXITcoin was born in Texas. It will always be led from Texas. And now, thanks to a matured codebase, an open-source core, a permissionless network, and a proven pool, it can be secured by Texans and friends of Texas wherever they live.

Onward.
