Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Is BTG Exchange open source?
No. The Exchange software and proprietary implementation remain private to Blackmore Technology Group Limited. Public documentation does not grant access to the Exchange repository, algorithms, scripts or other proprietary assets. Separately, certain other BTG projects, such as ENTITY, have their own public licensing arrangements; those do not apply automatically to Exchange code.
Are people selling their conversations?
That is not the proposed default. Bridge is intended to process carefully selected, authorized activity and produce permitted research products. Other people's communications and sensitive information require additional safeguards and may not lawfully be traded.
Does creating data mean I automatically earn money?
No. Compensation depends on an enforceable agreement, eligible contribution, actual customer demand, realized revenue and applicable costs. Many inputs will not have stand-alone commercial value.
Is BTG Exchange an approved stock exchange?
No approval has been established by the October 2026 public-source dossier reviewed for this portal. Investment market functions remain subject to regulatory gates.
What is a Data Commodity Offering?
A DCO is BTG's proposed way of describing and assigning rights to a defined data or intellectual asset. A specific instrument may be a commercial-use right or, depending on its legal terms, a regulated investment security.
Can the system access every app on my phone?
No. Apps and platforms have permission and access boundaries. A Bridge connector must use permitted APIs, exports, or other authorized methods and comply with their legal limits.
Can the public verify outcomes?
The intention is to make scoped, privacy-reviewed evidence available. Public documentation should identify test methods, assessors, dates and limitations. Independent qualification is not automatically implied by an internal report.
Can I invest through this website?
No. This is an information portal, not an offering or trading site. It does not accept subscriptions or funds.
