About

Boxmining is an independent crypto and AI publication. We cover coins, exchanges, trading, airdrops, and the AI tools reshaping the space — written for the person who just installed their first wallet, not the person who already has one.

Editorial standards

Every guide and review on Boxmining follows the same three rules:

• Beginner-first. We assume you just opened your first wallet yesterday. If a term needs explaining, it gets explained — not glossed over.
• Check before you publish. We don't run anything we haven't actually used. Reviews are based on the platform, not the press kit.
• No paid placements in editorial. Sponsored content, if we accept any, is clearly labelled. Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of the page.

Corrections: if we get something wrong, we fix it and leave a note. Email [email protected].

Team

Boxmining was founded in 2017 by Michael Gu, a Bitcoin miner since 2012. We are a small team of writers, traders, and engineers based mostly in Asia. See the authors page for the full roster.

How we work

We started Boxmining as a YouTube channel and expanded into written guides, exchange reviews, and airdrop coverage as our community grew. Today we publish across YouTube, this website, X, Telegram, and Discord.

Our editorial process: the writer tests the product, drafts the article, and a second pair of eyes checks it for accuracy and beginner-clarity before publish. We update guides when protocols change, and we version-date every page so you can see how fresh the information is.

Funding

Boxmining is independently funded. Revenue comes from three sources: affiliate links to exchanges and wallets we already recommend, display advertising on the site, and — occasionally — sponsored content that is clearly labelled as such. We do not accept payment in exchange for coverage.

Affiliate links never change our editorial verdict. If a product is bad, we say so regardless of the commission rate.
