using the Linux (headless) how to open wallet to view balance?
Been running a Linux headless node since launch and wanted a way to send coins without needing a Windows machine. The headless node has no send functionality, so I wrote a Wine-based installer that runs the full Windows GUI wallet on Linux.
It downloads the latest release, sets everything up, and optionally imports your existing mined coins from the headless node's wallet. Creates a `bitflash` command so you can launch it like any other app.
Install (Ubuntu/Debian):
bash <(curl -s
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Vic-Nas/bitflash/main/install-bitflash-wine.sh)
After install:
bitflash # open wallet
bitflash -gen # mine via GUI

Friendly warning: you need to consolidate your posts and not do what we used to call 'consecuposting' which is making multiple posts one after another, which in this case looks like the goal is to keep the thread bumped. Keep doing it and it'll be reported to the mods.
all my nodes are on blockheight 595 atm
That's a message that you should be mining XMR instead.
I am not part of the project either. Just interested but thanks for the warning.
Bitflash is a faithful revival of the original 2009 bitcoin-0.1.0, rebuilt for today with two changes: memory-hard CPU mining, and anonymous addressing that hides your IP and works behind CGNAT.
── What's different ──
• RandomX proof of work — CPU-only, ASIC/GPU-resistant. One CPU, one vote.
• .btf anonymous addresses over Nostr — self-certifying, Tor-onion-style, built into the coin. Your IP is never exposed to peers.
• Works behind CGNAT — no public IP, no port forwarding. Nodes rendezvous through a relay that only sees end-to-end-encrypted ciphertext.
• Automatic peer & relay discovery — zero config.
• Fair launch — no premine, no ICO, no dev reward.
── Specs ──
Ticker: BTF | PoW: RandomX (CPU) | Reward: 50 BTF, halving | Max supply: 21,000,000 | Block time: ~2 min | Windows (GUI) + Linux (headless)
── Download & run ──
Windows: unzip, run bitflash.exe → Options → Generate Coins.
Linux: extract, run build-linux.sh, then ./src/bitflash-node -gen

https://github.com/Bitflash-sh/bitflashDisclaimer: Experimental software in the spirit of the original Bitcoin. The network is young — run it, mine it, help keep it alive, but don't rely on it for anything critical and don't put in more than you can lose.
Why the 2mins target block time? Maybe it's just because the network isn't big enough but I am observing 10 blocks split.
