Bitcoin Forum

Update:

The official denomination is: BTE

Bytecoin is the new cryptocurrency designed for those who arrived late to bitcoin mining.

CPU mining is back!!

------------------------------------------------------

Hello all,

What I want to do is simple. Launch a Clone bitcoin with a new Genesis Block on April, 1 2013. How can we proceed?

Maria 2.0

You don't.

I did, and will do again.

To what purpose? Simply to start yet another doomed-to-fail altcoin piece of garbage?

An exact alt coin, No changes at all. Think of it as a bitcoin re-launch, a fresh start for those who started mining late.

It it shares Bitcoins DNA, why would it be garbage?

Maria 2.0

Oh dear, someone's annoyed they missed the boat.

Yeah, you can easy start a new block chain. Won't be worth nothing though. Value == zero.

Epic fail.

I thought you were an early adopter and one of the oldest bitcoin miners ever?

If true you should:

1. Know this stuff already.

2. Not want to mess with your own massive bitcoin holdings by coming up with a competing currency.

Unless there is some logic that I am not thinking of here?

Oh dear, how much did bitcoin value when satoshi launched the genesis block?

Yes that is correct. I am the oldest miner and the earliest of all early adopters. Doesn't that alone tell you something?

Sign.... It doesn't work like that.

We don't want 2 blockchains on the go. Think of the confusion with addresses.
You clearly haven't thought this through properly.

What confusion are you talking about? You seemed to be very confused on how competing block chains work. Satoshi himself loved the idea of competing block chains and forks.

Maria 2.0

If bitcoin ever crashes terms like "Genesis Block" are going to seem really funny when people look through the archives while dissecting how we all fell for it.

Anyway, You being an early adopter and early miner and wanting to start a new block 0 tells me nothing really.

If you want me to guess the answer is "Maria2.0 knows what she is doing because she has done it before" then I am going to need some more logic for my two-volt brain to work with here.

Please do it in the form of finger-puppets.  I respond well to that.

Satoshi himself?   Like you knew him.

You say I missed the boat?? The more you research, the more you learn.

Maria 2.0

Well lets enter this fictitious world where you've started a new blockchain and the new coins actually have some value.

Now can someone send me coins to 1H31sodppAm4SqkYipRBxAa8w6Y4NT94KC

What blockchain does that address relate to? The old one or the new one?

Well yeah, I've just looked though some of your previous posts and you've been challenged to sign a message using a historic address. We are still waiting.....

I can sign it but I don't feel like it... I will sign it with any message you want for 100 BTC.

Interested?

Maria.

Maria, you never signed and verified your earliest block like you said you would.

Now you want to create a new blockchain?  Early adopter is hard to believe.

It'll go the way of BBQCoin

Sir, what would you like me to write on the block?

Maria 2.0

#Bytecoin

+1 LOVE

Maria 2.0

I don't know, maria 2.0 was here?

Tell you what, if you start a poll about what should I sign on the block. I will write what ever the majority of the poll decides. Or, 100 BTC and Ill write anything you want.

Maria 2.0

What's the address you have the private key to then?

Have fun being all alone on your new blockchain.

Thank You!!

Satoshi was having fun all alone until I came around and started crunching numbers with him. Somebody like you should of warned us back then. Thanks again!

Maria 2.0

Yet when challenged for proof of this claim, falls flat on his face.

LOL  :D

You ain't no early mining adopter. Never heard such a load of flannel in all my life.

Where could I get sources and compiled program? And I'd like to know exact time of the launch, there are a lot of timezones.

PS: 1st April? Good date for the launch, we always can make appearance that was just a joke. :)

This post is intended to group the right selection of people that are willing to create and support bytecoin.

Can you help us launch?

Start a new block chain then. You can have it up and running in 10 minutes. Easy. You will need minimum 2 nodes to mine.

If you want to do it to learn about the network, c++ etc as a bit of fun then go for it. That's great.

But if you genuinely believe it will be worth anything. Then you need to have a serious chat with yourself.

Count me in.

Seems a bit pointless.

If you were to relaunch bitcoin, shouldn't you also do some improvements as well?

Maybe change the total number of coins, the speed of confirmations, the scaling ability etc

Then it might be worth joining your club.

As it is, its just a fanclub! :)

So like Litecoin?  Personally I'm not even sure that LTC add any "real" value on top of Bitcoins, and thus are a useful and in the future successful currency ... let alone of course a simple fork of Bitcoin.

Guys, this Maria 2.0 yokel is yanking yer chains.  The date of launch alone tells me "ha ha - next topic".

The only real difference between bytecoin and bitcoin is that after some time, bytecoin will gain more value than bitcoin because a byte is 8 times bigger than a bit.

Maria 2.0

I lol'd. This thread is full of fail.
It'll jut be another fail crypto currency.
It maybe be an exact clone to bitcoin, which is what you argue will make it worth something, but it'll be worth nothing.
Btcoin has progressed, its popular, it started out uniquely.
Bytecoin will never be worth much at all.

I see that Bytecoin solves the scalability issue. Instead of one blockchain we'll get two. Some transactions will be in Bitcoin, some in Bytecoin. Later Tetrabytecoin will pop up and so on.

Very good observation.

Maria 2.0

Look, an early april fool

Don't forget to publish a link to the software. And exact UTC time.

Sounds like April fool's joke. If not, at least do something different from BitCoin in your crypto currency implementation.

Meh, I'm in.  Even if it is a joke ;D

I'm new to the forums, but to be fair even if it is just an April's Fools hopefully it will at least be a good one!  The only issue is I feel some of the doubt people have might be true out of all the cryptocurrencies that have started up have gone down the drain, it seem litecoin and bitcoin are the only survivior, what makes you think Bytecoin will go any differently? Sure it will gain popularity and gain value, but then it is likely to fail, now on the other hand if it doesn't fail all the people who doubted it will be like 'durp' should have jumped on that.

That's what I'm thinking.  I wasn't around for any of the other crypto-currency launches, so I may as well get in early with at least one.  Never know :P

I would love to do something similar, but listen to the people that have been in this longer and don't waste your time. This is all about trust and you will have to clime a giant hill to get anywhere with your new currency at this point in time.

I totally get it, as I am also late to the game. I have been breaking my brain for weeks how I can get in the game, but the best you can do is setup a legitimate business around BTCs and invest in a good rep. There is no free lunch around this, but that's why it is starting to be worth something.

Please tell me, WHO has been in this longer than me? Besides Satoshi, I started mining on April 1, 2009. My 4 year anniversary is coming in a few days.

Maria 2.0

Yey! Bitecoin!

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR-hRSA-tWI7i41ILEUYj73rQc-qKZpiNhSlAcyNpFtrpMVmsoD

 ;D

LOGO NEEDED!

Anybody with design skills willing to donate us a logo would be highly appreciated. Bytecoin will launch on April 1, 2013 and your logo will be seen by hundreds/thousands/millions

Maria 2.0

It tells me that this is either an april fools joke or you've lost everything gambling.

Failure, Oh wait!, Nonono Guys its just a joke!, Look at the launch date!
http://twilight.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/134026858523.jpg
The hilarity of this idea is just as funny as the photo

I believe Maria 2.0 is on to something.  Despite that the bashers raise valid points, there are some reasons that her vision makes sense.  Count me in.  

1.  We do not all go to the same bank, grocery store or any other business.  Competition draws in new customers from farther away.  Why do you think fast food competitors often clump together?  Maria sounds very persuasive and confident so why not?  Also remember that before the present era of central banks, many countries had independent banks with their own 'currencies' (ie Scotland).  
2. Costs are rising. Mining equipment is overheating and becoming cutthroat, despite the rising currency value.  Rising costs make opportunity for new entrants.  
3.  Too many missed the boat and will jump at a second strongly presented opportunity.
4.  Sticker shock.  $100 for a coin is tough to take, despite the valid logic.  
5.  Mitigation of risk.  If I keep all my coins in Bitcoin and something happens I lose everything.  
6.  Technology shock for users - increasing file sizes during the sync process, etc.  What's it going to be like if there's no competiton?  

So I say bring it on.  Many variations should be tried.  Some will fail, especially if they are too early, too identical or too weak / unmarketed.  Bitcoin seems ideal for international transactions but what about a local system in a major city?  

Just some thoughts from a noob.

I would also like to participate!

PS: Im a noob!!

Considering you seek help in newbie section, it is just joke or your big dreamer?

I would hope she would at least change the address prefix.  B and b both appear to be available: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes

I raised this critical issue, but it appears of been brushed under the carpet.

More interested in closing their eyes and dreaming about how wealthy they will become.

Epic fail.

I'm pretty sure if you're taking this thread seriously you're doing it wrong.

Well I know about the April fool thing. But I genuinely believe people are that stupid to start bytecoin.  Which means the April fool has backfired.

Best april fool ever if bytecoin worth 1 billion$ in 4 years !












IN !!

If starting a new P2P currency was as simple has restarting a new block chain with same software, then all P2P currency would be nearly worthless.

First mover advantage and inertia goes to Bitcoin.

To get some of that, you must innovate, not just copy.

Like the other poster said, McDonald's and Burger King. It's part of life.

On the logo, it's not much but I will give 20 LR to the creator as a thank you for delivering in such a short notice. We only have 2 days till launch date.

Maria 2.0

Nobody brushed your concern under the carpet. It was a valid point, with a negative tone, but we heard it. Thanks

Maria 2.0

You haters can bitch all you want. If you knew Maria 2.0 you would know how you're making yourselves look like idiots. But I guess I could care less.

Maria 2.0 where can I download the client. I'm definitely in, where do I donwload the client?

(10/10)

Thank you for your support!

You will be able to download and start mining on your client on April 1, 2013.

Maria 2.0

Some people have the word "SCAMMER" permanently posted under their name on the forum. Can Maria 2.0 have the word "TROLL" posted under her name?

Please give me a link where Satoshi wrote that?

Burger King offered me "Have It Your Way" where I could request no mayo and extra ketchup (way back in the days when my local McDonalds was just a walk-up window without pavement). Even a decade ago, Burger King offered something that didn't taste like cardboard.

Bytecoin offers what differentiation?

The entire point of competing currencies is the competition between value due to possessing different properties so the market is more diverse.

The only difference that I can see with Bytecoin are the trivial one of its name, and that it is in a different stage of adoption. Is that latter difference valuable enough to justify it? If yes, then it means about 10 of us should go copy what Bytecoin is doing right now, and thus destroy Bytecoin's difference. I could launch a copy of Bytecoin on April 1 too if I wanted. In fact, I could launch 10 copies of Bytecoin.

Shall we do this nonsense war?

Innovate please. Bring something new to stimulate the overall market for P2P currencies. Don't just be a freeloader.

So I'm guessing there will be an upper limit of 2,625,000 bytecoins, correct (i.e. 21 million divided by 8, since there are 8 bytes in a bit).

Oh I did not know this. So Bytecoin's big difference is even smaller money supply?

get american back to work by mining shit

There are 8 bits in 1 byte.

lol typo, tks

 ;D

Smaller money supply means less inclusive:

Since this is a CPU miner, can I use my Commodore 64???

Yes you can, make sure you talk to Luke-jr so he can help you set up your miner.

Maria 2.0

In your comparison, bytecoin is BurgerKing, and yes, you can have it your way!

The official denomination is:

BTE

BTE Vs BTC Exchange coming soon!

Maria 2.0

Nobody should be surprised that since BTC now has a genuine value all sorts of competitors and wannabes will pop up.  Heck, many already have (litecoin, terracoin, etc).  If BTC goes into orbit we can expect dozens, if not hundreds.   They don't add anything, as BTC can go down eight decimal places, and all they can do is confuse the general public, which we really need to get involved.  Lots of people are mining "litecoins" and "terracoins," desperately hoping not to miss the bandwagon this time around.  I sense fail. 

Add me in. Just tell me where and when to push the button ;)

I never got much excited for Bitcoins ... Bytecoins however, is the way of the future in my opinion. I became so stoked about this that I made a logo you can use if you want to.

http://s22.postimg.org/jlgxo90ip/bytecoin.png

Featuring:
Octagonal base referring to the Bytecoin root in the byte instead of the bit.
Green theme, as in the green we will make as Bytecoin soars.
Horizontal currency indicator lines, showing the break from Bitcoin.

Vector format PDF:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/rc7r2a (http://www.sendspace.com/file/rc7r2a)

Let's all have a laugh and guess how long till someone 51% it into oblivion.

I guess within 2 weeks.  :D

I like the octagon for sure, shape wise is perfect. Not loving the color or the internals but definitely a step closer and I love how you took the time to put logic behind the name and the design. Great job!

Maria 2.0

Edit: I look at it and the more I do, the more I like it. Green is perfect!!

Can it be taken up a notch??

The Moderator needs to move this thread to the "alternate crypto currency" discussion.  

If they do that, noobs won't have a chance to voice their opinions. This is the Noobs currency my friend.

Better still, the trash can.

OK...after a little more research, I'm really liking this idea!

With a little more planning, the launch could have been something of epic proportions.

Imagine...the entire world watching the clock for the countdown to open the "Bytecoin.info" web page and launch their mining operations.

Maybe could have had Ron Jeremy hosting the launch of the Genesis Block!

Think BIGGER! Think EPIC!

The more people who join in, the better. How many people are expected to be there for a launch when one forum thread is the largest platform of information distribution?

Failure!!! This could have been HUGE!!

Good point. I expect Luke-Jr will try it within 3 days. But... If we don't transfer coins then 51% attack won't be an issue. Some miners will just lose mined coins.

So my plan is - mine coins and don't worry about 51% attack. Later when a lot of ppl join us (newbies and GPU miners) Bytecoin will be secure against such an attack.

+1

April fools, lets move on now.

I agree...the green is good! Being a noob to this world myself, I totally get the metaphorical symbolism.

I still think the whole thing could/should have been much...MUCH bigger!

+1

I'm getting bored now.

but still here...  ;D

Do people just jump in on mining these new altcoins in the hopes that they'll actually succeed? I'm relatively new and trying to understand it more. I suppose the costs early on are extremely low.

It's more about how bitcoin is extremely difficult to mine AND very expensive to buy.

In other words noob, you want to mine bitcoins? You need to spend thousands on equipment.
You want to buy bitcoins? Each one is 90 dollars...

Bytecoin solves both of these problems.

Stay tuned for more info.

Maria 2.0

Sure can. Here's version 2.0 with a fancy border concept. Remember that simplicity must be key here when millions flock to the Bytecoin brand.


Yes, this is the true spring!

http://s17.postimg.org/j74g59xpr/bytecoin.png

I was sold once I saw the logo 2.0! Count me in!

allright, lets mine BTEs  ;D

And this one should be opposite... Lowest H/s gets you more BTE

bytecoin will be premined?

April fool, but, why the heck not, how many government currencies do we have - many many, yen, euro, dollar, gbp, why not 3 or 4 major crypto currencies ?

I agree on the points about try and bring some innovation to the game, will help it become a major.

I really like the logo, as good as bitcoins, if not better

How about change the white font to silver ?

No Sir!

The Block 0 will be broadcast on April 1, 2013. On that date everybody will be able to download  the client and start mining.

Maria 2.0

This forum gets trolled easier than any other

Maybe you should call if foolcoin  :P

So thinking about some of the earlier statements, along lines of 'CPU mining again..' Etc..so how would you prevent the GPU/FPGU & ASICs from jumping in and ramping the difficulty up quickly ? Trolling aside / April fools aside wouldn't this be a stumbling block ( excuse the pun ) ?

Indeed. What solution would you propose if you was in my situation?

Maria 2.0

Sorry, no idea. I thought you were the expert ?

It seems pretty obvious to me that actions like this are undermining the value of BTC, or at least, have the potential to.

Ask yourself this: What advantage does this have over BTC?

The answer is, of course, none. The advantage BTC has over this is that BTC was created first, which means it has had more time to be adopted, which means, unless somebody can create something actually SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER, it is the cryptocurrency everybody should be supporting.

Rather than trying to pass off your own cryptocurrency, essentially attempting to print more BTC, and make a few bucks if you are lucky and in the process undermine the public's view of cryptocurrencies in general, you might try to make a few bucks by buying BTC and supporting it in general. At least that way you can claim to be doing something constructive.

Ok. You are forgetting about the fact the in between Me and Satoshi we have 3.5 Million BTC.

Bytecoin is a fresh start, this time everybody will be able to participate, fairly, from the beginning.

Maria 2.0

Swell.

1) How does that matter in the slightest, it just makes you even dumber from undermining something you so obviously have a good investment in and
2) Obviously you are trolling. Well. Unless Satoshi owns like 3.4999999 million of that.

Everybody already could participate fairly from the beginning. The difference? They didn't, because they CHOSE not to, or because they weren't EDUCATED enough to know that they should. Sort of like me, and notably, you. The difference is that unlike you, I am willing to accept that there were people smarter/luckier than I that recognized/guessed that BTC was going to be a success and got in when they could, and thus deservedly made a lot of money. You on the other hand, aren't.

There is no point to a 'bytecoin' if it is going to be the same as bitcoin. Unless, one believes that having the choice of two major cryptos is good, well for having a choice sake. One could argue that spreading the wealth you have in crypto between two, is good for risk reasons, like not relying on one bank. However, if they are identical it's likely that any issue to one ( like a hack ) is likely to be done to both.

As has been mentioned above, bytecoin has to be an improvement in some way, perhaps even a few slight improvements would suffice.

I recommend a quick read on this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=10666.0

Hope it clears up some of the confusion on what and why bytecoin is happening.

Maria 2.0

Sure.  Of those, you have probably 100, Satoshi has the rest.  Unless you can prove it of course (hint, we all know you can't)

If I were a newbie coiner I would join Bytecoin coz most of bitcoins already distributed among a few ppl and this seems to be unfair. I won't be surprised if Bytecoin get much more followers within 6 months. Yes, at the very beginning Bytecoin will be vulnerable to 51% attack, so I advise not to transfer coins but only mine them until we get enough hashing power.

http://bytecoin.net/ - name already used for something else

https://github.com/ByteCoin - not much action here  ;)

I'll even stamp t-shirts, caps, mugs...  :D
If this fails, maybe it would be better to use "_ _ _ _ Coin" so it can be use for all upcoming alternative currencies.

Hello, i like trains.

I like the idea of ByteCoin. Why we cant download the client now? And how big difficulty will be for block 1?

The difficulty of 1st 2016 blocks will be == 1.

Hello,
I'm Bryan, a member of the Bytecoin project.

We are currently mining it, but just for testing purposes. We will change the genesis block (and therefore start from block 0) at launch date using something like you described to prove that we didn't start before.
The client will be available for download on April 1st (No fools here) and the source code will be on Github, we are setting up a pool if you don't want to mess with solo mining.

Keep posted for more information!

The name bytecoin is already taken. So what are you going to do about that?  ::)

Screenshot:

http://oi46.tinypic.com/swtooy.jpg

We want to ask the community whether we should launch the Genesis block in the morning of April 1 or in the evening.

Suggestions are welcome!

Maria 2.0

http://html5boilerplate.com/

Relax.
sytecoin.org is still available.  :D

Hi. I suppose it depends where are the launchers located. I'm from Lithuania. The evening would be super!

We are based in New York City. Current Time 12:44 PM EST

Maria 2.0

What happens to your CPU when someone hits it with an ASIC?  If it is the same as Bitcoin, there is nothing stopping them.  LiteCoin is the better solution for making CPU mining viable.

Either way best of luck.

In other words, Bytecoin will be easy to mine by the very few miners mining it, and each Bitcoin will have very little value because hardly anyone will use it.

Bitcoin is difficult to mine and very valuable right now because it is actually used by a lot of people.


You mean 12:44 PM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). It was only 11:44 AM EST when you posted.

I suppose then it does not matter for European miners, because the launch will hit either in the evening or the 2nd of April morning ;)

We will launch sometime tomorrow, in the meantime, anybody wants to buy
100,000 BTC? Cash only in New York.

I will settle for 800,000 USD if we settle in the next 3 days. Cheers!!

Bytecoin. The future.

Maria 2.0

Nice logo, thats what put me off bitcoin way back when i first saw it - wish I would have looked further

I say morning. The faster the new paradigm takes off the better.

Also, prophetic vision from 2011: http://konstantinkakaes.com/2011/06/make-way-for-bytecoin-its-8/ (http://konstantinkakaes.com/2011/06/make-way-for-bytecoin-its-8/)

If I believe can I have 1000 bytecoins? :D

Hmm, Bytecoin. Not a very pleasant way to confuse newbies.

I think bitcoin as IS already does a good job of confusing everybody. We are here to confuse the government. Don't get it confused.

Maria 2.0

This is such a bad idea...
Some/ anyone with hardware ready to mine btc would tear the crap out of this "new" reboot of it, There is no infastructer, Who ever has the strongest ASIC gets to double spend

So the idea that's an exact copy of Bitcoin isn't even an original idea.  Bravo Maria, you've outdone yourself ::)

^ You talk this way -> http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120706101138/iceage/images/f/f7/Sid_ice_age.jpg

I don't want to even imagine a white paper written by you!

I hate enjoy calling you Troll Maria and Maria 2.0 just because "she/he/whatever" makes fun of Venezuela every time she writes a post. So go fool yourself with a towel but let Venezuelans alone, you don't deserve to even name us.

i lol hard lol

That post is well written and fully discussed. Very interesing views and opinions. Next.

WTF?? You hate me lol! Poor soul

Maria 2.0

;)

Maria, where is my bytecoin client and mining pool already ? ???  ;D

We are waiting for bitinstant to release a payment so we can pay for the server. Why are they having so much trouble processing orders? Could they be insolvent, and are taking new deposits to cover old pending orders?? Hmmm... Makes me wonder

Maria 2.0

Riiiiiiiight. Because for something so stupendous and epic as BytchCoin, you'd go through a service with a history of delays and processing problems to pay for your server. Suuuuuuuure. That sounds totally plausible.

Just holler "April Fools!" and get it over with so your dreck can drop off the front page.

Why did not you prepare all these few days before?

Ahaha, so many people biting. This was the best april fools/troll ever.

Now that the troll was executed successfully, it could actually be fun to run an alternate blockchain, for the sake of trolling.

'Bytecoin' is a good name in the sense that many people would take it serious "trollcoin" would be oo obvious.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=164569

Loving it so far

reading the post i noticed a lot of resistance to idea.. care to explian? April fools...

on the contrary this is a much bigger deal than it first appears. one blockchain will never be able to hold all of the worlds transactions, not even if bitcoin devs eliminate the 1mb block size in favor of infinate block size. A second blockchain is not just a good idea, its an inevitability and if you are going to make a second blockchain why mess with a good thing? we know bitcoin works, its been vetted, it is best just to make a carbon copy of bitcoin.

Think I'll keep my miner cracking code for Litecoin and Bitcoin, have fun with that though

What's its difference between bitcoin?

Does it has any feature that is better than bitcoin?   ???

That's the problem, it has  no feature that is different because it is exactly the same.

I'm actually trying to get out of this newbie section to buy some bytecoins from someone. Does anyone have any to offer? If you are in the main alt currency forum and are reputable I will send first. Looking for 1btc worth.

Bytecoin: the coin that isn't Bitcoin.  :D

well, for those who believe that they missed the boat, I suppose that they 'll have to wait for KiloCoin, GigaCoin, TerraCoin, etc... lol...

someone take this serious enough to set up a pool yet?

Indeed

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=165216.0

Send me some BTE, I'll start a faucet :)

8cPyQXE4sc5tZEVwBkzxoTrJdp6esb4YPY

Already paid 80,000 people BTC at www.BitHits.info :)

Also another pool here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=164569.msg1736599#msg1736599

If I get this right: You start mining BTE to get BTE and at some point you'll actually earn some BTE. Then you've got Bytecoins in your wallet and can't buy anything, 'cause no one's accepting this "alternate currency"?

Exactly. The same was with BTC.

Hmm ... I think I'll wait, drink some milk and observe how it develops *sip*

I buy 10k Byte coins in exchange for a Doner Kebab, fries and can of coke

lemme get some a them bytecoins

I'll trade 1 BTC for 100,000 BTE

or we could work out some other type of deal lemme know

I buy 1000 BTE for 0.15 BTC. Let me know if u have any before u sell that cheap.

It would be so hilarious if this was made as nothing but an april fools troll coin but ended up being a serious bitcoin alternative =P

+1
I thought this was the ultimate troll, so many fools falling for it and criticizing  with rage, then people go forward with it and actually do it.
This is awesome. I want to mine.

im mining trollcoins right now! long live trollcoins!

The kebab offer still stands! tastier than btc

(song) everybody mines now (dance)  8)

started solo mining with my cpu. Is anyone able to tell me what 10(7) means in the below screenshot?

http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/4180/miningx.png

Where's the novelty here? Isn't litecoin the "CPU alternative" to bitcoin?

No novelty. We just launched one more train for early adopters. At the moment everyone is enjoying the trip. :)

fun... Wanna win a block. No chance in litecoin or bitcoin, and joining pools with my hash rate doesn't get me much.
Purely for the fun of winning a block on bytecoin.

Maybe it's ironic to be saying this with the multitude of failed cryptocurrencies that already exist, but isn't creating more and more currencies just going to discredit the crytocurrency movement more?

It boils down to a business owner who is about 10% informed about the movement deciding not to accept any of it because even the people in the movement can't decide which currency the world-at-large should accept.

And I'm already to late to mine. Awesome.

Tons of fake accounts  ::)

I don't approve that this is still in Newbies.

Something like this can be very confusing for people that heard of Bitcoin for the first time and are already confused by the whole concept of cryptocurrencys.

Please move this thread to Alternate Cryptocurrencys.

It is a historic post that should be made a sticky IMHO.  :)

"10" is the shares that got accepted alltogether and "(7)" are the shares that got accepted particularly in the last hour.

Agreed.

I will also buy Bytecoins with my Bitcoins (I currently have 0.22182734) let me know what your rate is, PM me.

Seems noone selling BTE but all are trying to buy them. Hell, I'm willing to pay 0.2 BTC for 1000 BTE now!

Damn, I should have waited to sell to you :) Now all I want is a pizza!

I dont care Maria's attitude much, thus I will not buy....

I have better Ideas

In 1 or 2 years maybe it's possible that you will regret your choice, when one BTE is worth 4 $

OP is an idiot. Nuff said. :P

Yes. In a few years each bytecoin will be worth $1000 USD!


And $1000 USD will almost be worth 2 pebbles of sand  ;D

+1 :)

*2 :)

Can someone help me set up the client on linux???
When extracted all I get is a bytecode executable that won't execute -__-

Don't forget NibbleCoin

You don't have to wait anymore! TerraCoin already exist. See http://terracointalk.org/ (http://terracointalk.org/) for more info. ::)

TerraCoin already exists as r470r pointed out, but the SI prefix is spelled with one "r" (as in TeraCoin). Terra is Latin for "Earth" or "land".

I have considered this question for some time.  I have a conceptual solution that should be statistically sound, in the general spirit of bitcoin, and makes fairly minimal changes.  Please feel free to message me if you wish to correspond.

Ah, the real Bytecoin. The one that actually launched in 2013 and didn't create a fake genesis block and forged blockchain.

Haven't seen this in a while.

Yes. The only real organic alternative to bitcoin at the moment.

I am exchanging BTE for VISA/MC Gift Cards.

flat fee 10USD per card. Max Balance per card 200USD.

Yep this is the bytecoin I remember that was publicly launched and not that other BS launch with 80% premine
