Bitflash: A Tor-native revival of Bitcoin 0.1.0, mined on CPUs with RandomX
Bitflash is a decentralized, Tor-native revival of the original Bitcoin 0.1.0 protocol that utilizes RandomX for CPU mining. It operates without a central company or premine, using public keys as node addresses to ensure privacy and bypass network restrictions.
Why it matters
It represents a niche movement to return to Bitcoin's original vision while integrating modern privacy-preserving network technologies.
Bitcoin 0.1.0, revived: same consensus rules, RandomX instead of SHA-256, and every node addressed by its own key over an encrypted rendezvous. No premine. No company. 21 million.
Read every 30 seconds from status.json , which is a live P2P handshake with a node rather than a cached number. A grey dot means this page could not reach the status daemon.
Nothing dials by IP. A node is addressed by its own public key and reached through an encrypted tunnel, so it works behind CGNAT and no peer learns where it is.
