Running Bitok - 0.3.19 Mainnet

What do you think if I launched a public pool?

More pools are good for the network.

Mining is competitive by design. If you can run a reliable pool with fair terms, miners will decide.

Decentralization improves as more independent operators participate.

well I will update you soon

would a p2pool be required in the future, i think p2pool are a cool idea, but not sure i how it would operate on bitok if it were implemented on the coin, could be something i could experiment and learn from whilst mining on p2p

well I will update you soon

cool, yay (:

Wow, I LOVE this idea! Great work!

It’s easy to adapt the old P2Pool code https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool for Bitok. I looked into it before building the node-stratum pool for bitok, but decided against it. P2Pool is too complex for most miners, they must run a Bitok node, a P2Pool node and a miner. Which creates too much setup friction.

Developing a P2Pool for Bitok would likely be a poor use of time, similar to what happened with Bitcoin, it never became widely popular because it’s not easy for typical miners to start.

Added RPC support for raw transaction construction, signing and decoding.

This allows transactions to be built programmatically without wallet coin selection. Inputs, outputs and signatures can be specified explicitly.

This is awesum, just last night I added a simple patch to my fork for sign/verify messages and had thought of looking into raw tx next.

The cool part is that Bitok follows Satoshi’s original 2010 code.
It's like an alternate-history Bitcoin where Satoshi is still developing it. Thanks for this interesting experiment.
