About the maintainer
OpenPuzzle is maintained by claudiodb. The project is developed as an open, auditable distributed research system for coordinating work on public Bitcoin Puzzle keyspaces. The website documents how the coordinator works, while the public client source and release history provide a technical record of the software used by participants.
Technical questions and bug reports
For reproducible client problems, build issues or software bugs, the preferred public channel is the OpenPuzzle GitHub repository. A useful report should include the OpenPuzzle version, operating system, selected backend, relevant command output and the smallest set of steps needed to reproduce the problem.
Releases and verification
Official client releases are published through the project release channel and documented on this site. Download checksums are provided so that users can verify package integrity before installation or update.
Security and responsible contact
If a report concerns a security-sensitive behavior, avoid publishing private keys, credentials, access tokens, private infrastructure details or other secrets. OpenPuzzle is designed so that discovered private keys remain on the participant machine; users should preserve that boundary when sharing diagnostics.

Editorial responsibility
The technical articles on claudiodb.com are written from the development and operational experience of the OpenPuzzle project. They document design decisions, observed behavior and limitations of the system rather than promising a particular search outcome.
