The BTC+ App Guide
Your Bitcoin Conference Guide and More!
Intro
BTC+ is our official conference app — your personal command center for your schedule, your networking tool, your event map, and your direct connection to everything happening at the conference.
BTC+ is currently available on the US and Hong Kong App Stores only.
Whether this is your first time attending or you're returning, this guide will help you get the most out of the app's features from the moment you log in.
Quick Takeaways
- Log in with a quick verification code sent to your email — no password needed.
- Sign in with the same email you used to purchase your conference pass — this automatically grants you event access, no Join Code required.
- Set up your profile to improve networking and visibility (available to GA+ & Whale Pass-holders only).
- Use features like notifications, networking tools, QR scanning, ticket access, and schedule booking.
Getting Started
Logging In
BTC+ uses a verification code login — the easiest and most secure method for new users.
How to Log In
- Enter the email address you used to purchase your conference pass.
- Select "Send a Code."
- Check your inbox for the verification code from noreply@auth.b.tc.
- Enter the code into the app to complete login.
Since your event access is tied to your pass purchase email, logging in automatically brings you into the event — there's no separate Join Code or Join Event step.
The verification code method avoids exposing personal account info and keeps the process fast and simple.
Setting Up Your Profile
Your profile helps other attendees learn who you are, what you do, and how to connect with you.
We highly recommend completing your profile—this boosts the quality of your networking matches and increases visibility.
Steps to Set Up Your Profile
The app guides you through the following steps:
- Upload a Profile Picture You can use your own photo or a branded avatar (like our mascot, Maxi).
- Add Personal Information This may include your name, title, and how you participate in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
- Company Information Add your organization, role, or project. This improves matchmaking and discovery.
- Social Media & Handles Add platforms like X/Twitter, LinkedIn, or other relevant accounts. These make it easier for new connections to follow up after the event.
- Select Your Interests Choose what brings you to BTC+ and select 3 topics that interest you most. Select all that apply.
- Complete Your Profile Review your info and finish setup.
Once complete, your profile will be visible to other attendees (you can always preview how others see it under View Profile).
