Running Bitok - 0.3.19 Mainnet

[aviestegmeier]

mining with my old homeserver-laptop, it is not even able to reach 700h/s but ma boi is working on it, solo mined whole night but unable to find any block by itself, right now mining on tongpu's pool, let's see how things go

I came across this article on X: https://x.com/_petoshi/status/2020418889302048822
It would be incredible if elvisjedusor leveraging knowledge from 2026 to unlock features that Satoshi intentionally left hidden in v0.3.19 (bitok). It could change how we understand the original design of Bitcoin.

The Built-In P2P Marketplace
The Opcodes That Made Bitcoin Programmable
Zero-Confirmation Payments
Parallel Chains
nSequence Payment Channels

Bitok. Back to the future.

Bitok. Back to the future.

Bitcoin wasn't designed as a finished product.

Some features were deferred. Others were removed before their consequences were fully understood.

Bitok is an attempt to run the system under Satoshi’s original assumptions and complete missing pieces where the intent is clear.

Whether that leads anywhere is an empirical question.

Bitok started trading on rabid-rabbit.org 

[aviestegmeier]

two days ago somehow i hit my first block with 1kh/s on my mac m1 processor but for some reason genesis transaction didn't showed up until a few days (or i missed somehow)

network is still small enough to mine via laptops, i literally hold %1 of total network hashrate lol.

tomorrow i will try to fork monero's current gui wallet into bitok in order to have a better ui wallet

ps: i've no idea how to code except sudo su on linux and Hello world, wish me luck

This logo https://imgur.com/a/qaN6MvZ uses Bitcoin Classic coin , this spoils the coin's image. The Bitok needs its own logo ,maybe change it .

Built flawlessly on 6.19-gentoo. A friend linked me here, knowing I like projects that are simple and do what they are supposed to do.

Bitok v0.3.19.9 Release. Major Upgrade
https://github.com/elvisjedusor/bitok/releases/tag/0.3.19.9

This release completes three unfinished parts of the original Satoshi's design and makes them safe to operate on a live network.

Important:
All nodes must update before block 18,000. No action is required immediately, but do not delay upgrading.

What’s New

1. Script Execution. Original Bitcoin VM (activates at block 18,000)

The original script engine included arithmetic, string operations, and bitwise logic, but had no execution limits. Later implementations addressed this by disabling opcodes. Bitok instead bounds execution while preserving functionality.

Execution limits:

10 KB max script size

1,000 stack depth

520-byte max element size

201 opcode limit

20,000 sigops per block


Separated evaluation:

scriptSig and scriptPubKey execute independently

scriptSig is push-only

eliminates cross-manipulation between scripts


Strict signature rules:

DER encoding

low-S enforcement

defined sighash types

Minimal push encoding enforcement

OP_RETURN fix (now provably unspendable)

SIGHASH_SINGLE out-of-range fix

CHECKMULTISIG NULLDUMMY enforcement

OP_VER / OP_VERIF / OP_VERNOTIF disabled (consensus-splitting behavior removed)

All other original opcodes remain operational:
OP_CAT, OP_MUL, OP_LSHIFT, OP_AND, OP_SUBSTR, OP_CHECKMULTISIG, etc.

After activation, relay policy opens: any well-formed script within limits is standard and relayable.

More details: SCRIPT_EXEC.md


2. Priority-Based Fees (Policy — activates at block 18,000)

Restores the original priority mechanism described in early Bitcoin:

Code:

Transaction priority = sum(value × confirmations) / tx_size

First 27 KB of each block reserved for high-priority free transactions

Remaining space sorted by fee-per-byte

~1 BITOK held ~1 day typically qualifies for free relay

Dust outputs (< 0.01 BITOK) require fees

Fee rate unchanged: 0.01 BITOK/KB when fees apply

More details: FEES.md


3. SPV Client Support

Implements lightweight client functionality aligned with Section 8 of the whitepaper:

getheaders / headers (2,000 per batch)

filterload / filteradd / filterclear (bloom filters)

MSG_FILTERED_BLOCK support

mempool filtering

getblockheader RPC

gettxoutproof / verifytxoutproof RPC

sendrawtransaction RPC

getrawtransaction RPC


Key Export / Import

RPC:

dumpprivkey <address>

importprivkey <wif> [label] [rescan]

GUI:

Export private key from address book (with warning)

Import WIF with optional blockchain rescan

Rescan progress displayed

More details: SPV_CLIENT.md


Upgrade Notes

Upgrade before block 18,000.

No wallet migration required.

No reindex required.

getblocktemplate adds a non-breaking priority field.

Wallet computes priority and fees automatically after activation.

This logo uses Bitcoin Classic coin , this spoils the coin's image. The Bitok needs its own logo ,maybe change it .

BC is a very first Bitcoin logo. It was made by Satoshi Nakamoto and is included in Bitcoin v0.3.19, which the Bitok project is built from. So the logo comes from the original Bitcoin source, not from Bitcoin Classic.

Still, it might be a good idea to make a custom logo anyway, not because of Bitcoin Classic, but because the Bitok name (especially the “OK” part) could be turned into something more unique and recognizable for the project.

Amazing work! I think that after block 18,000 it should be easy to add a built-in marketplace.

In one of Satoshi’s last emails to Mike Hearn in 2011, he mentioned an idea about marketplace inside the Bitcoin client itself. He said he was trying to build something like an eBay-style market, where product offers and reviews would be shared over the network, and ratings would have weight based on mined blocks.

So more than 15 years ago, Satoshi already started laying the idea for a decentralized marketplace in the code, even though it was later removed and never fully released. Since then, almost nobody has built something like that directly into node software. If Bitok adds a native marketplace, it would really bring back part of Satoshi’s early vision and make Bitok popular

P.s. A P2P marketplace could probably also work as a P2P exchange if orders are treated like product listings. We’d just need a service that runs and connects to other nodes for different chains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, etc.). Just a thought.

The marketplace Satoshi mentioned was not a consensus feature.
It was an application-layer system intended to run on top of the protocol.

Bitok’s goal is to restore the base layer to a state where those kinds of systems are possible again without protocol distortion.

Once the foundation is stable, higher-layer experiments can be built, including marketplace models.

maybe like this if you like it

Yes, the bc icon is the one included in the 0.3.19 source.

Bitok can have its own look eventually.

I think the logo should stay simple and minimal. The project is technical at its core, so the visual identity should reflect that. Clean, functional, and not overloaded with elements.
If someone designs something simple and fitting, I’d consider it.

I really like the idea of ​​an internal marketplace. I've noticed that on Rabid-Rabbit, it's trading at a low price compared to its real value. The time it took to build and climb...we know Satoshi's vision well, but unfortunately, Bitcoin has taken a wrong path. BITOK is here to fix that mistake. Everyone does their part. We're on the road to recovery...🌐

We will list it on major exchanges

I hope so, I wont use rabid rabbit.

Lastbitcoin.org’s pool hashrate is almost 50% of the total network hashrate. Isn’t that a security risk for the network?

Lastbitcoin.org’s pool hashrate is almost 50% of the total network hashrate. Isn’t that a security risk for the network?

A pool does not own hashrate. Each miner chooses where to point their work. If a pool operator attempted to act dishonestly, miners would simply disconnect and direct their hashrate elsewhere. This is fundamentally different from a single entity controlling 50% of the hash power.

Pool hashrate is estimated from submitted shares, and network hashrate is derived from block intervals. At low total block counts, the variance in these estimates is significant. The actual blocks found by the lastbitcoin.org pool are well under half, closer to 30%.

The protocol also includes protections against deep chain reorganizations, including periodic checkpoints and timestamp validation rules that limit the feasibility of time-warp attacks.

What do you think if I launched a public pool?
