Why miners and holders like it
Latest Core Blockchain news
Blockindex, as of this morning
The chain holds 100,562,735 XCB at block 19,255,434 with difficulty at 461,522,514. The node behind it runs go-core v2.2.2 built on 16 January, Blockbook 0.4.6, and an 8.7 GB database.
source →Your address is the dashboard
Paste a cb… address into the pool search and you get hashrate over a minute, an hour and a day, your share of the pool, your contribution to the current round and the last payouts. Each dot in the chart is a rig, named as you named it in the miner.
source →The first XCB pool goes live
pool.ion.cool opened RandomY stratum on port 33337 — CoreMiner-compatible, with live per-rig stats and an hourly payout pipeline wired straight to the chain.
source →Core data reaches the big aggregators
Submissions to MiningPoolStats, minerstat, hashrate.no and WhatToMine went out, so XCB pool numbers will sit next to the majors instead of hiding in forum threads.
source →Everything on the pool, as JSON
The pool exposes /stats, /pool, /history, /miners, /network and /payments, plus per-miner and per-rig paths underneath. Anyone writing payout alerts can read the same numbers the dashboard draws.
source →gocore v2.2.2 hardens the pool pipeline
The January client release tightened remote-sealer template handling (exactly the path pools rely on), patched EPoSE receipt verification and shipped checksummed builds for three platforms.
source →gocore v2.2.1 grows a smart-contract API
The client added sc_ bindings for name, ticker, balance, decimals and totalSupply on CBC20 contracts, plus read paths for the CIP-150 KV store, CIP-721 tokenURI and CIP-104 price feeds. The wallet side gained xcb_synced and xcb_composeTransaction.

A practical guide for node operators who want portability: syncing Core's database onto removable storage without breaking the client.
source →Transactions without the internet: the SMS demo
Engineers pushed a Core payment through an SMS channel — a striking argument for settlement layers that don't assume connectivity.
source →Reporting standards: goAML5.0 on-chain
A compliance-focused walk through the refreshed FATF reporting schema and how identity data from the chain slots into it.

Where the genesis XCB went — foundation DAO slices, vesting logic and the treasury roadmap, itemised in public.

Trade press traced the nine-year road from a payments idea to a live network — useful context on why the chain ships slowly and deliberately.
source →Mainnet is live
The launch note that started the current era: production mining, explorers and public RPCs opened to everyone after years of closed testing.
source →The official route into CPU mining
The project's own guide covers the wallet via the go-core or ICAN generator, then CoreMiner from CatchthatRabbit: no fee, AMD, Intel and ARM covered, Ubuntu and Raspbian packages, European and Asian server regions, and a dashboard keyed by address.
