Built from v0.3.19 — the last release Satoshi touched — with one change: mining that runs on your laptop, not a warehouse.
In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin with a radical premise: anyone with a computer could participate. You could mine BTC on your laptop, send it to a friend, and be part of a financial revolution from your dorm room.
Today, Bitcoin mining requires millions in hardware, industrial electricity contracts, and warehouses full of ASICs. The average person can't mine a single satoshi. The network that was meant to decentralize money has become one of the most centralized mining ecosystems in existence.
Bitok asks a simple question: What if we just… went back?
Yespower 1.0 is specifically designed to resist GPU and ASIC optimization. Your laptop competes on equal footing with any other machine. No mining farms, no industrial advantage — just raw, democratic proof-of-work.
Bitok isn't an "inspired by" fork — it's the literal Bitcoin v0.3.19 codebase with minimal changes. The transaction format, script system, wallet, and networking are Satoshi's original work. It's a living artifact of crypto history.
Right now, every block rewards 50 BITOK — the same reward early Bitcoin miners received in 2009. Once the first halving occurs, this drops to 25 forever. The window to mine at maximum reward rate is finite and shrinking.
No exchange account needed. No hardware purchase. Clone the repository, build the binary, and start mining with a single terminal command. If you have a computer, you can participate — exactly how Bitcoin was supposed to work.
There was no token sale, no insider allocation, no venture capital round. Every single BITOK in existence was mined fairly by someone running the software. The playing field is genuinely level.
The downside is trivially small — some electricity and CPU cycles. The upside, if Bitok captures even a fraction of the "back to basics" narrative, could be enormous. Early Bitcoin miners faced the exact same risk/reward profile.
The latest release — named Phoenix — is a turning point. It restores powerful transaction rules that Satoshi originally designed but Bitcoin later removed. The result? You can now build real financial tools directly on Bitok — no smart contract language to learn, no gas fees, no virtual machine. Just rules baked into the transactions themselves.
Set up a payment that automatically sends a fixed amount to someone every 30 days. No middleman holding your money. No approvals. It just runs — like a standing order, but without the bank.
Raise money for a project with a simple rule: if the goal is met in time, the creator gets the funds. If not, everyone gets their money back automatically. No platform fees. No trust required.
Make a deal where your payment only goes through if the other side pays too — enforced by the network, not by a handshake. Perfect for peer-to-peer trades where neither party knows the other.
Smart money. No smart contracts.
The rules live inside the transaction — no code to run, no fees to pay, no complexity to exploit.A small group of cypherpunks mine BTC on laptops. Each block rewards 50 BTC. Nobody takes it seriously.
CPU mining still works. Bitcoin trades for fractions of a penny. Someone buys two pizzas for 10,000 BTC.
Regular people are pushed out of mining forever. The promise of "one CPU, one vote" dies.
Same code. Same economics. But with Yespower mining that keeps CPUs competitive. The early mining window is open again.
Bitok restores Satoshi's original transaction rules and goes beyond simple payments. You can now build real financial tools — subscriptions, fundraisers, guaranteed trades — directly on the network.
50 BITOK per block. Small network. CPU mining on your existing hardware. The same opportunity early Bitcoiners had — except this time, you know what Bitcoin became.
# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/elvisjedusor/bitok.git cd bitok # Build the binary make -f makefile.unix # Start the daemon ./bitokd # Begin solo mining with 4 CPU threads ./bitokd -gen -genproclimit=4
Every block mined at 50 BITOK brings us closer to the first halving. The earlier you start, the more you accumulate.
