Thank You!
I've got a "Page not found" error now on download link :(

I am very glad that Bytecoin now finally has graphic wallet! Looking at screenshots, Bytecoin Wallet is one of the best cryptocurrency wallets I've seen. I'll test it right now to say more.

By the way, are there plans for mobile wallet? My phone and tablet is on last Android, and I don't use desktop pc much. It should be possible to use Bytecoin on other devices.

what does "address" in the wallet mean? does the wallet generate new addresses??? Is it my new bytecoin address?? Is it the one i should use????

my google chrome browser asks me if i really want to download bytecoin Wallet. yes, i want to use bytecoin wallet! >:( has anyone checked it for viruses yet?  
bytecoin developers team is trustworthy and honest and cool 8)
but it's internet. you better check software twice before you use it.

I can't get synchronized yet so I'm waiting. It's not like I've seen lots of cryptocurrency wallets ,  I got almost nothing to compare with, but the appearance of synchronization process looks great!!

Everything is ok.

Do you have any localization plans?

Today the Bytecoin team has released a fundamentally new GUI wallet, featuring modern design, intuitive interface, and high speed of operations in Bytecoin system. Bytecoin Wallet is available in versions for all major OS and allows new users to start working with Bytecoin swiftly.

Bytecoin Wallet is the second part of Bytecoin v.1.0.3 release. Earlier this week Bytecoin Reference Client has been updated to introduce new high and low-level API. These APIs give smart access to Bytecoin engine and allow third party developers to focus on building their own applications and services according to their business requirements.

Bytecoin Wallet and API libraries together represent an updated Bytecoin technology that allows both users and developers to shape and improve Bytecoin ecosystem, and take part in it in a simple and comfortable way.

Share your thoughts with us! We invite you to download and test Bytecoin Wallet. Your feedback is valuable for us and will affect usability and upcoming features.

Bytecoin Wallet: Overview

Dashboard

https://i.imgur.com/UfEoWoT.png (https://i.imgur.com/UfEoWoT.png)

The Overview tab is the first thing you see when you launch Bytecoin Wallet. We've tried to make this screen both informative and simple. Overview is going to be updated with further releases when more Bytecon features are implemented. Its purpose is to provide you with a quick insight into your recent financial operations.

With Bytecoin Wallet release we've rethought the way we indicate the balance. We believe this to be more intuitive than it was originally implemented in simplewallet.

* Available balance is the funds that are available for transactions.
* Locked amount shows the funds that are not yet available (unconfirmed transactions, the coins you've mined, time-locked transaction)
* Total

This change has been implemented in simplewallet too.

Send Bytecoin

With Bytecoin you are able to send money to various users with one transaction. You may add several recipients, but keep in mind that the transaction with a high number of addresses may get rejected due to being excessively large.

The way CryptoNote transactions are visualized in Bytecoin Wallet makes sending money simple and unambigious. What's more, the wallet provides you with exact feedback in case there might be something wrong with the transaction.

Please note that you are unable to send Bytecoin in case you're not synchronized with the network yet. The interface will get unlocked once your local blockchain is up-to-date.


Transactions

Transactions screen hosts the story of your financial operations. You may filter the table, check transactions info or export all data in CSV.


Contacts

Address book is a simple must-have for long CryptoNote addresses.


Important notes

First launch

Once you open Bytecoin Wallet, it will automatically create your first Bytecoin address and start synchronizing with the network.


Wallet encryption

It is highly recommended that you encrypt your new Bytecoin wallet with a password. Leaving the wallet unprotected makes it vulnerable in case your system is compromised.

To encrypt your wallet, choose "Settings" menu and then "Encrypt wallet".


Wallet file format

Unlike Bytecoin Reference Client, Bytecoin Wallet uses .wallet files instead of legacy .keys files to store your private keys for each wallet.

Bytecoin Wallet is able to import .keys files (with the existing password), but it will create a .wallet file for further operations.


Bytecoin Wallet files

Bytecoin Wallet introduces several new files stored in the standard Bytecoin folder:

Windows: C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Roaming\bytecoin\
OSX/Linux: ~/.bytecoin/

The most commonly used files are the following:

1. bytecoinwallet.wallet – a default wallet keys file that is created on first startup of Bytecoin wallet and gives access to your fresh Bytecoin address.

2. bytecoinwallet.log – a log file for the node that is running inside Bytecoin Wallet.

awesome! bytecoin devs are the best 8) i gonna check bytecoin wallet and write a review for my blog. it's time for the friends to know more about bcn. i hope you did it well, bytecoiners.

Dat's ok! If you didn't use bytecoin for a while it will take time. You'd better download the new blockchain from site: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZF4A2BLS!6oS7NFz-pp_MI4YGQhYxLBLisGyr1xsrOfoC_bTLf9U (https://mega.co.nz/#!ZF4A2BLS!6oS7NFz-pp_MI4YGQhYxLBLisGyr1xsrOfoC_bTLf9U)

what does "address" in the wallet mean? does the wallet generate new addresses??? Is it my new bytecoin address?? Is it the one i should use????

Where should I put it?

Windows: C:\Users\%user_name%\AppData\Roaming\bytecoin\
OSX/Linux: ~/.bytecoin/

Are there any other skins? The light version if ok but I'd like to get the 8bit edition  8)

The design is out of this world! It looks great! :D

What does "Locked amount" mean in the wallet? And why do strange amounts like this one pop up?

Are there any other skins? The light version if ok but I'd like to get the 8bit edition  8)

Actually the wallet is too wide for small notebooks. Is there any way to make it more compact?

Yes, when the first opening the wallet generates a new address for the user

 
If you don't need that, just open the wallet that you used before. You've gotta go File - Open wallet, then find it and hit the button and you're done.

Btw if you're gonna come around and and use the automatically generated address, then you better encrypt it: go Settings - Encrypt wallet and create a password (complex one!).

Wow! It's a really great job, Bytecoin Team! GUI Wallet is very important thing for the cryptocurrency and it was time for Byrtecoin to have its own one.
A masterpiece. I like the design. It's elegant and fresh. Awesome! It works well: I just sent 1000 BCN with the first transaction and everything is ok. Thank you, devs!
I believe in the nearest future will occupy an undiminished place in the cryptocurrency world. Bytecoin to The stars and beyond.
Bytecoin Wallet is wonderful

That's the funds that are not available for spending. It's either unconfirmed transactions, mined coins, or time-locked transfers. It may also contain the change: when you send money to a recipient, Bytecoin actually takes more than it requires for the transfer, makes the transaction, and returns spare coins back to you. So locked amount may temporarily increase after you've sent the money.

The funds are getting unlocked fast. Ordinary transactions require 2-5 minutes, while newly mined coins take about 20 minutes to get unlocked.

Could un-encrypted wallet generated with new Bytecoin wallet be opened with simplewallet? Would simplewallet ask to enter password in this case?

What's the "label" in SEND BYTECOINS? Some kind of a payment ID?. But there's already PAYMENT ID at the bottom.

I think that guides are required in any case. Will it be available on bytecoiner.org?
The wallet is nice, the interface is intuitive. But for a user new to Bitcoin and CryptoNote coins it may be difficult to figure out what's going on.

A video may be even a better idea.

Is this new wallet open source because I never download crypto-related binaries, and most serious crypto investors are the same. It's much too dangerous.

Bytecoin Wallet is currently in open beta. We're still cleaning up the code and basically await your feedback to finalize the Wallet, before we release the sources.
In case you are concerned with this issue, you may continue to use Bytecoin with simplewallet. In any case I would appreciate if you gave Bytecoin Wallet a test drive.

I will stick with simplewallet for now.

I noticed that some of the issues (improper display of spends) with simplewallet were recently cleaned up. FYI, there is still a crash if simplewallet is used on a old wallet without deleting the .dat file.

Everything is ok.

My PC froze twice because of your GUI!!!  >:(

My PC froze twice because of your GUI!!!  >:(

Get more RAM, and more diskspace. CN isn't as lean as Bitcoin (if BTC blockchain still gets called like that)

I encountered such an effect.
As a matter of fact GUI doens't consume too much. But during full synchronization it can.

Just close it (normally, don't kill) and restart. You can do this even in the middle of synch - it will significantly reduce memory requirements.

Damn I didin't think of that, thx. I guess I need another 2Gb.
Thanks, man!


I've tried before, same thing happens. So maybe it's all about my PC :( gonna find out soon. Thanks anyway

hey, is there any possibility to mine just right from the bytecoin wallet?
i don't see this function in the wallet, but i want it to be there. bytecoin gui miner would be so damn cool  8)
if there is no mining feature in the bytecoin wallet now, bcn devs, do you plan to add it in the future? i think it is very very good to have "start mining now!" button in the wallet near the balance dashboard.

Hi Jimbo, the address book is stored separately. In the next releases we're going to significantly improve its security.

LOL, on the main Bytecoin thread all you scream is this coin is a  scam, and in here you sound like an interested supporter ...... its obvious that your only interested if the wallet is open source... aren't you one of the XMR dev ? 

Bytecoin Wallet has been updated with minor improvements.

Hey guys im having a problem and I am hopeful someone here has an easy fix.

I had an amount of Bytecoin sent to my wallet last week. It didnt show up even though it was confirmed and I have checked the address about 10 times with different people checking it again even though I copied and pasted it to begin with.

I have tried resyncing the wallet as I think it might have been out of date. It showed that it had resynced however nothing showed up and it was showing the wrong date.
I then closed the wallet and reset my computer to attemped the 3 day long sync again. When I try to open it now I just get an error message "Blockchain load error".

I have moved to a different computer and tried the same process and it was stuck on 11 Aug 2014 19:57 for more then a day. So I reset the computer and when I open it back up it is saying that it is synced which it definitly hasnt as there is no Bytecoin in there. I am now attempting this on another computer in the hopes that a faster internet connection can assist in this matter.

Has anyone else had a problem like this?
Is there a way I can force the wallet to resync?
Is there somewhere that I can download the blockchain directly?
