The updated client (in progress) is here: https://github.com/CryptoRepairCrew/bytecoin

me and my team previously did the remake of adt v2. we've just been a bit busy and it seems the 3 people involved in bte including myself have been too busy to keep care of it.  so thats why there haven't been many updates

i dont know where you seem to get the idea i want bytecoin to be something it isnt. bitcoin has a test bed its called bitcoin testnet. bytecoin is and always will be a bitcoin clone coin. You may ask people like digigami. whats here now is more than there was a few months ago. bytecoin was completely dead stuck at high diff. atleast now its active.

I see a kind of good potential  in bytecoin. But we need strong closely-knit community that will launched it "to the moon"

Your GitHub has Bytecoin as a fork of ZetaCoin, if that's not trying to make bitcoins something besides a clone please explain how you are improving the code, or even tell us where to find a wallet to download that self compiles.

I am using zetacoin as the base code for my attempt at a new fork. since i'm unfamiliar with bitcoin's new autotools build system. Zetacoin is based on quite new bitcoin code and doesn't have the autotools build system which is why I am using that as the base fork.

BTW have you any EXACT offerings what to do? Strategic plan or something?



Thanks for your interest Cheesus, My strategy is to keep looking for a compiled version of the Bytecoin wallet that actually works until I find one and then share the link with others and fix the links on the only semi-official site we have Bytecoin.biz  (this is the the same link that is listed in mistercoins "ByteCoine relaunch" post. The same one ahmed_bodi answers to when it suits him. Our "saviour" who tells us there is a working exe, but fails to give us a link)

I'm offering 100 BTE reward.

Sorry I can't really afford to offer more. I'd like to offer some other more specific bounties would like some input on specific ideas.

Here is the INSTALLER: https://github.com/CryptoRepairCrew/BTEBinaries
The PORTABLE  EXE should be in DigiGami's repo's

Post by: BG4 on March 25, 2014, 08:36:56 PM
I hope this is the correct thread..........I have an Idea !!!

since bitcoin 0.9.0 is limiting the op_return to one forty bits......Could Bytecoin be used for data storage, lets open up the op_return to 256 bytes or something.....

And then the miner fees could be based on Size of the message.....

Post by: ahmed_bodi on March 25, 2014, 08:49:57 PM

Title: Re: ByteCoin Update (Bounties!) 17th of March 2014
Post by: BG4 on March 25, 2014, 08:57:03 PM
I read an artical today about the argument with the bitcoin team and 2 companys that wanted the 80bits with the op_return because they could store more data for the system......the solution was just use a pointer to a differant blockchain that stored more data....

a data blockchain for the bitcoin blockchain.......

would make for good PR for bytecoin....and increase the value....

and the name Bytecoin fits that purpose

I would caution against merge mining. You will #1 be second fiddle or fifteenth fiddle and #2 you will be someone else's garbage dump.

I work on Catcoin which aims to be Bitcoin in scrypt. Perhaps we have common interests. I don't see either BTC or LTC crowd innovating anymore, just a bunch of zombie hoarders.

I disagree. Merged mining brings in security. With security comes people willing to bring features. With features comes a real use. and with a real use comes VALUE! :D

People bring features because they are creative. Features are your job anyway, not third party. Security doesn't bring features, it brings price manipulation. And the BTC/LTC crowd hate alt-coins so they will destroy the price before anyone gets to use the coin.

Real use comes directly from desire to create. It is not a product, but a producer. Your evolution theory is backwards. Create it yourself.

well from personal belief the SHA256 (this one) came first. However the CN Based one claims on their website that they came first and also that its very widely used however until about 2 months ago no one had heard of it here

I remember it. It was supposed to be different from bitcoin rather than a reboot.

Also like I said, this forum is hostile to alts anyways.
So the question is how do we reasonably differentiate?
I refused to use Panda coin because there were 3 versions.

Bytecoin has been active for a while.

As has been mentioned before, bytecoin.org is actually a different coin. If you wish to help ahmed_bodi in working on the sha256 bitcoin clone then we may have to consider renaming it. But let's worry about that when we are closer to having some news on the new client. Thanks again ahmed_bodi and the crypto repair crew for working on this.

regardless of who was first, (upon investigation is seems quite likely that we were second, even if we were more widely known in the bitcointalk forum) it seems that it is US who are trying to revive a coin that needs all the help it can get. If ahmed_bodi is able to fix us a new client AND get merged mining to work than I think we could rename the coin BodiBytes, or at least have a discussion about what miners would go for. keeping in mind that we will need to convince a majority of miners to update to the new client for it to be successful, I only have a few gigahashes, not enough to make much of a difference, but I'll do my best when the time comes

Wow, thanks for listing us in there :)

Ahmed_bodi, sorry to here about your mismatch issue, if you can update us to that latest client WITHOUT the merged mining, perhaps you can work on that later?

Best of luck to everyone holding onto these coins :)
