What it is #

mintbitbars.xyz is, in its own title's words, the "Bitbar Minting App": a page that shows a bitbar and a "Mint Bitbar" button. Its card line on block.space/projects is "Bitbar minting app." No other description of it exists in Blockspace Holdings' records.

Status #

The page is live at https://mintbitbars.xyz (as of 2026-10-20). Since 2026-10-19 it has been served from the code of antron3000/Bitbar-Minting-App, page and image only. The server that the Mint button's QR code comes from did not answer when checked on 2026-10-19.

How it works #

The repository has three parts. The page shows the 1kB bitbar SVG and, on Mint, a payment box: use an ordinals wallet, send 0.00002 BTC to the address shown, and wait. A small server watches that address through a public block explorer API, records each payment and its sender in SQLite, and marks payments of at least 1,641 sats as needing a bitbar. A minter script polls the server for pending mints and inscribes the file with ord (fee rate 3, postage 546 sats) to the sender's address.

Key figures #

The 1kB bitbar image the page shows is exactly 1,024 bytes.
The minter's log records 7 mints, from 2024-11-30 to 2024-12-01. This wiki reads no live figures for mintbitbars.xyz.

Glossary #

Bitbar: A bar-shaped inscription on Bitcoin whose size is its name: 1 kB (exactly 1,024 bytes), 64 kB, 128 kB and 256 kB. The 1 kB Bitbar is the hero of blockspace.holdings, "Exactly 1,024 bytes on Bitcoin Mainnet", and the page's copy of it must stay exactly 1,024 bytes.
inscription: Content bound to a sat by ord, carried in a witness envelope. Under BTI's law the inscription is content, not a token: the inscribed sat is the token that claims the bytes.
ord: The ordinals indexer and explorer. Its fork, run by Blockspace Holdings, serves blockspace.to and is the definitional source for BTI's inscription-to-sat binding, sat numbers and inscription numbers.

Can I mint a bitbar there today? #

The page answers, but on 2026-10-19 the server behind its Mint button's QR code did not answer, and only the page and image are served. Every payment it received was minted: 7 payments, 7 Bitbars, confirmed in blocks 872,656 to 873,182 (2024-11-30 to 2024-12-04). No payment has arrived since (checked 2026-10-20).

How was a mint meant to work? #

The page asks you to use an ordinals wallet (it recommends Unisat), send 0.00002 BTC to the address it shows, and wait: the bitbar is minted to the sending address, at a standard fee rate of 3 sats/vB.

Where is its code? #

In the public repository antron3000/Bitbar-Minting-App: the page, a payment-watching server and a minter script.
