Running Bitok - 0.3.19 Mainnet

[Laheeboo]

I was excited for the web wallet, I restored my wallet using the key, it shows my transfers balance from faucet but not my mined balance, how would I be able to access that?

If you were solo mining, each block reward created a new address inside your local wallet.dat. The web wallet only restored the one key you imported, that’s why you don’t see your mined balance.

Open your downloaded wallet, let it sync, and send all your funds to one address from your web wallet. After confirmation, everything will show there.

If you mined on a pool, this wouldn’t be needed since pool rewards go to the address you set.

P.s. also 'changes' creating new addresses for every new incoming change when you send, not only mining (it is only for full wallet. If you use send with web wallet changes back to your logged address)

awe man I wish I was able to do anything but sadly it's all gone, the pc needed to be formatted so everything on it is gone, I thought I did it right but oh well. in 12 years I will probably have a heart attack over 10k bitok burnt

what really?

did you backup youre wallet.dat file? on that pc?

have you still got the wallet on youre web wallet? did you sign in on a mobile phone?

and did you only have 1 receiving address on your desktop wallet and then you transferred that 1 private key onto youre web wallet?

if you still got that private key you could later in the future restore it on youre desktop wallet once there is an update to the software to be able to import private keys

don't tell me you actually, accidently burnt 10,000, just let me know im trying to help you understand that if you have youre private key you will still have a chance that you have the coins

check youre web wallet setting and i think you should be able to find an option to export the private key, if you still do have it then it will be really important to write it down securely on a paper or on multiple devices with encryption

Yeah I sadly didn't save any files just the restore code, It's ok I only used my personal CPUS for couple of weeks to get them no worries I will mine it again

It's way more complicated than that actually, what I did is I listened to AI and it told me if I restored my wallet using just the code it will work, and I tried it on couple of smaller pcs I own that my kids play on and use to watch shows or do school work on, but what I did is restore my wallet on those pcs and let them mine for about 2 weeks, then I wanted to switch their system to windows 11 and deleted everything and started fresh, figured my wallet if it ever found blocks they would show up on my main wallet lol and that was a bigger bust than the hit I took on my own pc. I have 4 kids, laptops and wife's laptop all mined for weeks and lost their blocks because i did it with the restore wallet way to get them all to mine to 1 wallet (silly me)


On a hopeful looking towards the future note, Am I allowed to make a solo pool? or can solo mining option be added to the current pool does anyone know?

Jesus Christ man... Feels like straight speed run to the hall of fame. Mining 10k Bitok in the first month after genesis just to format it like a true legend. Godspeed

Bitok v0.3.19.11 “Native Blind” released

1) That's how it looks to me:

Bitok v0.3.19.10 (windows)

https://ibb.co/TB4sRJPn
https://ibb.co/DfyKfnbc

Bitok v0.3.19.11 (windows)

https://ibb.co/pjjGJTR2
https://ibb.co/0VqsszGH

It looks like something is wrong with the GUI.

2) bitok help/bitokd help
This line/command is duplicated:
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
It was the same in previous versions.

Will I be able to send coins from a non-ok-address to a ok-address and vice versa?

[elvisjedusor]

Will I be able to send coins from a non-ok-address to a ok-address and vice versa?

Sure. ok-addresses are designed so anyone can send to them from a regular address. Just go to Send and paste the ok-address the receiver shared with you.

ok-address is an address you can share publicly and reuse forever - like an email address for receiving payments.

When someone sends to your ok-address, the funds land on a fresh, unique address only you control. Every sender, every time, gets a different destination. Nobody watching the blockchain can tell any of those payments went to the same person.

On your end, nothing to manage. Your wallet finds and claims each payment automatically. Lose your wallet? Restore from the single SK... key and every payment you ever received to ok-address (including changes) comes back.

One address to share. Zero address reuse. Full privacy.

Thank you too.

One more thing:

Bitok v0.3.19.12 (windows)

https://ibb.co/nqS5wV5b

In v0.3.19.10 and earlier, there were 2 additional fields here: "From:" and "Message:"
Was this deleted for some reason? Or is it something related to the GUI?

It was tied to the send-to-IP gui feature. That feature wasn’t really usable and it exposed the recipient’s IP address, which broke privacy.
So it was removed from "Native Blind"

I have added a Bitok Mining Pool

network hashrate is around 1.5mh/s right now but pool hashrate is 2.64mh/s, is this a ui error?

If users can easily experiment with scripts, new contract patterns may emerge.

Bitok keeps the original opcodes enabled inside a bounded VM.

Combined with the new RPC tools:

• buildscript 
• setscriptsig 
• getscriptsighash 
• verifyscriptpair 

developers can construct and test custom scripts directly on a UTXO chain.

This makes it possible to experiment with covenant-style constructions using programmable transactions rather than full smart contracts.

I wrote a Bitok Script Developer Guide explaining the workflow: https://github.com/elvisjedusor/bitok/blob/master/docs/SCRIPT_DEV.md

Script was always meant to be programmable. Most projects stopped exploring it.

This is really huge. I can build scripts like puzzles, natively! Why has no one done this for Bitcoin?
We could even create a UI where users can drag and drop opcodes and insert data like they’re playing a game
Big respect for this.
Lets make some fun and learn something new

Im just locked 50$BITOK in a SHA256 hashlock script on the Bitok blockchain:
https://bitokd.run/contract/99a9e46537a91544a0f3e6f17e22a7eb708d6cb30ed04cefcb736ff9049d66c3/0

The prize can only be claimed by broadcasting a transaction with the correct preimage (secret).
The secret is built from 3 words hidden across 3 transactions.

I will post one transaction per day for 3 days. Each transaction contains one word encoded as UTF-8 hex in an OP_RETURN output.
Find the word, write it down, wait for the other.

PRIZE TRANSACTION:
  Funding txid: 99a9e46537a91544a0f3e6f17e22a7eb708d6cb30ed04cefcb736ff9049d66c3
  Output index: 0
  Lock script:  a8201804ab125392cdac647c3fb048f59c9d05fa4f103571239e2c379cb15084a5f187

Verify the prize is real (run this yourself):
  ./bitokd getrawtransaction 99a9e46537a91544a0f3e6f17e22a7eb708d6cb30ed04cefcb736ff9049d66c3 1

No admin. No submission. Broadcasting the spend transaction is how you claim.
The first valid spend transaction wins.

how do i broadcast the spend trasncation? (:

Will the Dev bring Agent 2 agent payment. And agent com protocols to bitok. I'm asking because the Dev shows capacity and i believe , dev building a2a and acp on an l1 like bitok with pure decentralised independence will be a game changer https://x.com/i/status/1995896384747122782

We need more exchanges.

Also, how do we get this coin listed in CoinMarketCap?

..

1st word is hidden here:
  TXID: 40b65eacacd9dc1693ea48dc57b85bdc69f996dcf2a49c930b068ea1308f4995

How to find the word:
1. bitokd getrawtransaction TXID 1
   Look at the vout array. Find the output with "type": "nulldata".
   The "hex" field will be the OP_RETURN data prefixed with "6a" and a length byte.
   Strip the prefix (6a + first byte ) and decode the remaining hex to ASCII.

2. Or use the block explorer - paste the txid, find OP_RETURN output, and *decode the hex.
*Thanks to Elvis, our explorer is powerful and decode it automatically (do the work for you, haha).

I've been in the crypto space for ten years, and I've pondered the words of several prominent figures countless times: Satoshi Nakamoto, Vitalik Buterin, and others. Bitcoin should be free from SHA256 attacks and accessible to everyone, not controlled by a small group. The same applies to stablecoins; they should be pegged to Bitcoin. While I know this project has a long way to go, I love it here; it gives me a sense of internet equality. This feeling of privacy and the appropriate delay that maintains a sense of distance is addictive.http://

Security update: password encryption added to the self-custody web wallet
https://wallet.bitokd.run

Previously, the private key (WIF) was stored in browser localStorage in plain text.

Now the user can set a password. The WIF is encrypted using AES-256-GCM with a PBKDF2-derived key. When opening the wallet, the password is required to decrypt the key into memory.

You can still run the wallet without a password for testing, but this is not recommended.

Important:

- This wallet is self-custody
- Passwords cannot be recovered
- Always back up your private key

I'm in single-player mining mode, and I'd like to know if it's normal for single-player mining to not have SHRE (Single Thread Reset) active; I'm worried about it running idle.

This is what I'm doing in the terminal on macOS M5. Please advise.
