Frequently Asked Questions
How is Malairte different from Bitcoin?
Bitcoin uses an algorithm (SHA-256) that has been completely dominated by specialised ASIC hardware - normal computers cannot meaningfully participate any more. Malairte uses a CPU/GPU-friendly algorithm so anyone with a regular PC can mine. The two networks are independent and Malairte (MLRT) is its own coin with its own ledger.
Do I need an expensive computer to use Malairte?
No. Malairte was designed from the start to run on everyday hardware. A normal laptop or desktop computer is enough to install the wallet, send and receive coins, and even mine at a small scale using your CPU or graphics card. You do not need a server rack, an ASIC, or a high electricity bill. If your computer is recent enough to run a modern web browser smoothly, it is recent enough to use Malairte. This is one of the biggest differences between Malairte and Bitcoin: Bitcoin mining today needs specialised industrial machines, while Malairte deliberately keeps the door open for ordinary people, families, and community groups to take part on the hardware they already own.
What happens if I lose access to my wallet?
If you still have your recovery phrase — the list of 12 or 24 words you wrote down when you first set up the wallet — you can restore everything. Install the Malairte wallet on a different computer, choose the option to restore from a recovery phrase, and type the words in the correct order. Your balance will reappear because the coins live on the blockchain, not on your old device. If you lose your wallet AND your recovery phrase, however, the coins cannot be recovered by anyone, including the Malairte team. No company controls your wallet, so no company can reset it. This is why writing the recovery phrase down on paper, and storing it safely, is the single most important step.
Is it safe to share my wallet address with someone?
Yes, your wallet address is meant to be shared. It is the long string of letters and numbers that other people use to send Malairte to you. Think of it like an email address or a bank account number for receiving payments — people can send things to it, but they cannot take anything out using it. What you must never share is your recovery phrase or your wallet password. The recovery phrase is the master key, and anyone with it can move your coins. The address is just the public mailbox. If you are not sure which is which, look at the length: addresses are usually around 30 to 60 characters, while recovery phrases are a list of real English words.
How can I tell if a Malairte website or app is the real one?
Always reach the Malairte wallet and downloads through the official website, malairtebitcoin.com, and bookmark it the first time you find it. Do not click wallet links from chat apps, emails, search ads, or social media posts — scammers buy ads that look identical to the real thing. Check the spelling of the address bar carefully; fake sites often use a letter swap or an extra hyphen. If you are downloading software, verify that the file came from the official site and not a mirror. When in doubt, ask in the official Malairte community before installing anything. A two-minute check has saved many people from losing every coin in their wallet to a convincing fake.
Why does Malairte exist when Bitcoin already does?
Malairte exists because Bitcoin, while important, has drifted away from being a coin ordinary people can take part in. Mining Bitcoin today requires industrial ASIC machines, cheap electricity, and large amounts of capital. For most families that door is closed. Malairte was built to keep the original promise: a cryptocurrency that anyone with a normal computer can mine, hold, and use. There was no pre-mine where founders quietly kept large amounts for themselves, no venture capital deal, and no special hardware advantage. Malairte is not trying to replace Bitcoin — it is trying to be the on-ramp for the people Bitcoin left behind: students, veterans, retirees, and community groups who want to learn and participate on fair terms.
