Bitflash: A Tor-native revival of Bitcoin 0.1.0, mined on CPUs with RandomX

Bitflash revives Bitcoin 0.1.0 with RandomX-based CPU mining, using Tor hidden services for peer-to-peer communication where each node’s address is its public key and no clearnet fallback exists. The wallet is reconstructed from a twelve-word seed, stored in a single SQLite file, and supports import/export of raw keys. Block time is ~2 minutes, reward 50 BTF halving every 210 k blocks, with a fixed 21 million-coin supply and no premine.
