Title: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: thankful_for_today on April 09, 2014, 08:50:04 PM Launch date - 18 April, 10:50 GMT
Website: http://bitmonero.org BMR rep is the freshest one. You may check it there: https://github.com/bitmonero-project/bitmonero Latest update of binaries are available at www.bitmonero.org Links: Win 32 (https://mega.co.nz/#!VA9wlL4Y!mn0cSmm7y_CQkOaI6gEyEECJj5o59RYFHBUonacQRz0) Win 64 (https://mega.co.nz/#!NRtyHSiC!CNdgCZvcoEyKNaWakYdwjTee7XMz7sWDSeZPLzrm57E) Unix (https://mega.co.nz/#!kNlkyISR!To_qRGeJYMJ8fnxlybkQBLpaGQBy8DfkYTja9j2gY1k) Mac (https://mega.co.nz/#!hEMzBC6L!NALDzcF__Oy-Dks5G7A-FuvTrFYhlpO21J50-BWqqnw) I'm working on another good feature now, so stay tuned. Freenode: #bitmonero [Logo contest - till 28 April - bounty 300 BMR]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580155 Important: this is not a Bytecoin relaunch or not a Bytecoin replacement but a Bytecoin fork. Bytecoin has its own long history, community and stakeholders we don't know much about. I respect them and their decisions even if I don't understand them now. An intention to relaunch coin is always harmfull for everybody involved. Fork is a right way to contribute to community in case you don't agree with decisions already made. - Why did I make fork? - Because there is a number of technical and marketing issues I wanted to do differently. And also because I like ideas and technology and I want it to succeed. I did an announcement ASAP while a lot of details aren't still defined because the earlier it is announced the more people will be able to join. Details will appear as soon as they will be defined and decided. Here are details that are already defined and I don't plan to change this: 1. New coin will use Bytecoin(BCN)/CryptoNote code base. 2. New coin is started from scratch (i.e. from genesis block). 3. Emission schedule has a flatter curve (close to Bitcoin's original curve). 4. Bitmonero - BMR (monero /esperanto/ = coin) 5. Block target = 60 seconds 6. Penalty-free block size were increased. CryptoNote doesn't have hard limits: all parameters are adaptive. Max block size is adaptive also. It is recalculated the same way difficulty is. In case miner creates block bigger than 1*CURRENT_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE the penalty is applied to block reward (i.e. block reward is decreased). In case miner creates block bigger than 2*CURRENT_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE such block will not be accepted by network. For blocks below penalty-free block size this logic isn't applied. I.e. even in the blockchain with all blocks empty you can create a block of this size with full block reward. In reference code this penalty-free block size is 10Kb - this is good for 2-3 anonymous transactions (anonymous means mixin factor is 5 or more). It's better to have a bit more. 7. Decimal point were moved. There are less coins in total but initial block reward will be less than 100 coins. This is much easier for practical use. This is an UI issue only - technically there will be 2^64 - 1 atomic units. Action plan - I want to start mining and I don't want to wait a week. What can I don just now? 1. CryptoNote is very different from Bitcoin-based currencies and it has no GUI now. I recommed you to try Bytecoin (BCN) now to understand how to use it. The new currency will be very similar while starting. 2. If you are an Ubuntu user it is much better to update you mining machine to Ubuntu 13.10 because there are all required packages already in repo. 3. CryptoNote now works only on 64bit OSes. Actually I don't know the way to build it for 32bit OS. In order to participate you need 64bit OS. - I want to help with development / design / marketing ... Please PM me ;) - I want to integrate new currency in my sevices (pools, block explorers, exchanges etc) Please check API pages: https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/Main_Page API is far from being complete.

8. Probably merged mining with Bytecoin. This needs a lot of work to be done :-/ Is there a rationale for sticking with the CryptoNite hashing algo? Some issues I pointed out before: 1) the CPU mining phase is prone to botnets 2) Someone will inevitably develop a GPU miner and it's in their interest not to release it, creating a fairness problem. (I'd personally prefer X11, because it's CPU+GPU and draws much less power than scrypt.) edit: I actually can't find anything on this algo. Is this even a sound hashing function with a low probability of being cracked in the future? Most of the algos that the crypto community has been using are well-established and created by professionals and researchers (like the NIST finalists).

Why does one use it instead of btc/ltc? It's supposedly anonymous thanks to the implementation of ring signatures. Significantly more robust and decentralized than CoinJoin, if it works.Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: x0rcist on April 09, 2014, 09:32:11 PM Does this coin have any new, revolutionary idea? Why does one use it instead of btc/ltc? The coin is not a revolutionary new idea, but its based on a revolutionary idea called cryptonote (https://cryptonote.org/inside.php). Also the fact that cryptonote/bytecoin was hidden deep for the last few years and was being mined by a "big" unknown community the fork would give people a fair start on this new technology. Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: smooth on April 09, 2014, 09:37:01 PM I will be full supporting this. Did you think about just changing the 2^64 parm to something like 2^56 and keep the Atomic Unit/Decimal in place? I dont see proper a reason on changing the decimal point? I'm not sure either is a good idea. With a BTC-like model if you end up with high coin values then people then want to switch to mBTC or uBTC because >2 digits after the decimal are hard to deal with. In fact I say avoid changing things just to change them. There are some (potentially) good reasons for changing the reward schedule and for rejecting the legitimacy of the dark web premine unless they want to come out of hiding and show us why their coin is worth adopting and is not just a premine. The rest I don't really see a need to change at all. Less code and design changes, less risk of unforeseen issues and bugs. The existing code seems to be somewhat well tested. Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: x0rcist on April 09, 2014, 09:41:29 PM I'm not sure either is a good idea. With a BTC-like model if you end up with high coin values then people then want to switch to mBTC or uBTC because >2 digits after the decimal are hard to deal with. True, but if the decimal is changed to a max of two then you need to have more max supply in my opinion. Im not a prophet or full time supporter of a high coin value when there can be more coins and serve the same purpose. Also thinking about adoption, a max of 2 decimals would make more sense, but then im only talking from an adoptive standpoint for the masses. One thing i learned is Keep It Simple Stupid Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: smooth on April 09, 2014, 09:44:44 PM I'm not sure either is a good idea.

True, but if the decimal is changed to a max of two then you need to have more max supply in my opinion. Im not a prophet or supporter of a high coin value when there can be more coins and serve the same purpose. If you don't change the atomic units you can put the decimal wherever you want. It's a totally arbitrary convention. I'm arguing that a model like BTC that starts out with small (2 digit) reward units ends up with small fractions of a unit for ordinary transactions if the coin becomes widely adopted and gains in value. This seems not to be a widely-liked attribute of BTC. Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: Johnny Mnemonic on April 10, 2014, 05:16:21 AM I honestly don't see the advantage of bringing the block time down to 1 minute. You're ultimately looking at increasing orphan blocks and decreasing hash power, and all you get is a feature that looks great on paper but has little purpose. I wouldn't mess with it. Apparently the BCN devs wanted 5-10 minute block times but settled on 2 minutes after lengthy disputes. Their decision is explained in more detail here:

It also influences the chance to get block in solomining: with the same total hashrate it's twice easier to find block with 60 sec block target than with 120 secs. Solo mining gives decentralization. This way faster blocks lead to more decentralized network in the beginning. From another point of view faster block are smaller (less transactions per block). Small blocks are easier to propagate through network.

Small blocks are easier to propagate through network. You raise an interesting question. I've seen the argument that faster block times increase centralization because of orphans. But it is true that the blocks will be smaller so the correct comparison is orphans with twice the block time and double the block size (plus header) versus half the block time and half the block size (plus header). I don't think I've seen that comparison. Also, any coin that is successful wont be feasible to solo mine eventually. The orphan effect has to dominate.

It's a valid point that shorter block times will increase a solo miner's chances of finding a block, but even with a cpu-only coin it's only a matter of time before pooling becomes a necessity. At that point the shorter block time yields no benefit to the miners, but you're still left with the additional orphan blocks and wasted work.

By the way, I agree with x0rcist that maybe you could just block time to change after a certain block height. 1 minute in the solo mining phase (~1 month) and 2-2.5 minutes afterwards.

A fresh start pre-announced start gives a known market history, a fairer and longer distribution, and active development with feedback. That said, I'm disappointed in what this thread turned out to be. We should've had discussion on the name and the parameters and other things and yet thankful_for_today is nowhere to be seen 4 days from the supposed launch. Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: sorryforthat on April 15, 2014, 11:55:07 PM There are very good reasons for having a fork instead. With BCN we have a coin that refused to show itself for 2 years and has been 80% mined. Why would the markets accept that? Crypto distribution is absurdly bad (most, even big ones like LTC, have ~50% of coins held in the top 100 wallets). But this is taking it to a whole new level. Not to mention we have a dev team that we can't interact with and a very poorly chosen dispersement speed, with 80% mined in such a short time (compare to BTC distribution which extends into decades). Don't underestimate "instamining" stigma - it annihilated Quark and continues to plague DRK. A currency (exchange medium) is no good if many people don't want anything to do with it.

Peopel refused to see it and were blind by the bitcoin craze, but this didnt stop it from growing. 80% mined without a clue of the user base, for all we know it has a user base equel to bitcoin. It is bad for the people who are looking at it now, but until we know more, its hard to really say. It wasnt instamined though? You make it seem like a fork is needed so that people who got to BCN late can feel relavent with the creation of new coin. Say the dev team was available, you now how much they would have to deal with considering how big this has grown. Not to mention it would contradict their reasoning for a more anonymous currency.

I wasn't observing that poor distribution leads to a lack of success, but that it's simply bad for any exchange medium. We here in altcoin-land are only concerned with profits so we don't think about it, but presumably in the end what we want is a universally accepted currency. But what we're looking at it with BCN is probably a distribution that's horrible even by cryptocurrency standards -- and that's just scary territory. Right now BCN is being mined as a novelty, but there are complete nonsense coins that get more attention than it in shorter timeframes. Considering how revolutionary the technology is, I think that's explained by the fact that it wasn't "properly launched" from the perspective of the community. I've been mining BCN and I'll support it just because I firmly believe in the need for anonymity, but there would be a tinge of regret that we could've had something better.

At any point in time all the calculations that we have to go on could have been off. Maybe something was missed or just not understood. So at this point in time the fact that there is 80% is in my mind and estimate that could be far less than we think.

Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: btc-mike on April 16, 2014, 04:36:14 PM BCN looks more like a proof-of-concept than a functioning cryptocurrency. My theory is the "Creators" (math geeks, mathematicians, aliens) developed Cryptonote and needed a way to test. They created BCN and kept it to themselves during testing. They released the info once they knew it worked. And by release, I mean put up a few websites and left CN & BCN there.
I have been following BCN but not mining. The origins and beginning years are unknown. The "Creators" and participants are unknown. I will let them keep their coin. If a developer comes along and wants to create a new cryptocurrency using CN, I may participate but I will not be using BCN.

Adaption is not far from us at this point, so there is a chance that a fork is around the corner. And not the one in this thread. So if you are not currently mining, I suggest atleast getting a few while its growing.

There is nothing to support either claim here. But they have no reason to lie and because no one happened to stumble upon the site from way back when, its assumed that it must have just not existed. They have updates, and its easy to say that they could have put that at any time, but why would they? It reveals nothing and deosnt take away from anomitity and the main reason behind the coin. Who knows what site they used to really promote. Its obvious they want to be different from Bitcoin, so assume that it was promoted on sites that have nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The code delivered by Bytecoin deserves something proper with correct stats (not only shifting the decimal as biggest change). I think the most important change is the emissions schedule, but yes, this is rushed. The name alone may doom it. This coin had no discussion behind it. It was pointed that the block time is too fast beyond the solo mining phase. It was kept without offering reasons. It was pointed out that the name should be voted on. Nope, and a bizarre name resulted. Perhaps the biggest reason to fork is that it was mined for 2 years without making itself available to the other 99.9999999% of the internet on the clearweb. Yet, we wouldn't be much better if we did a launch without a GUI client and a website. Instead, we were 1 hour from launch without a Windows client, which is actually a step backwards from BCN itself (they released an easy-to-use package with a batch file for nontechnical users). We need (1) an accessible release with (2) proper marketing (including a different name). Right now this fork doesn't have much of a reason to exist, IMO. There's no reason to release it now and work on these things later, either. All we'd be doing is unfairly mining it ahead of everyone else.

If you look at the BCN forums, you will see that ByteCoin will be having some form of announcement at 16:00. It seems probable that this announcement will lead to a re-launch of BCN under fair conditions, and that this coin here is being developed by one of the BCN devs who has a difference of opinion with the team.Could thankful_for_today explain his role with BCN? Also, I totally agree that bitmonero is a poor name that will negatively affect adoption, especially if there are two BCN forks launched at the same time.

Someone could explicitly cast the data types to the new types, assuming the truncation was intended. Or just ignore the errors and send CryptoNote a nasty email.

Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: David Latapie on April 18, 2014, 03:41:40 PM Is there a rationale for sticking with the CryptoNite hashing algo? Some issues I pointed out before: 1) the CPU mining phase is prone to botnets 2) Someone will inevitably develop a GPU miner and it's in their interest not to release it, creating a fairness problem. (I'd personally prefer X11, because it's CPU+GPU and draws much less power than scrypt.) Then go to Groestl, which draws even less power than X11, is CPU+GPU too and better yet reduces the advantage of GPU over CPU.I personally am explicity against a CPU+GPU algo. Because this means CPU have no reason to mine anymore (except for increasing a little the mining power of a GPU miner). GPU mining means "more money for the richs, less money for the rest of us". Not exactly in the direction of fairness. Plus, CryptoNote goes beyond a lot of the shortcoming of the bitcoin protocol. CryptoNote uses CryptoNight algo only. Maybe it could be possible to implement X11 on CryptoNote as a replacement for CryptNight, but as stated above, I am against this. That being said, your point regarding botnets is interesting. I suppose the reason why there is not much botnets on GPU is that server do not come with a real GPU to start with. edit: I actually can't find anything on this algo. Is this even a sound hashing function with a low probability of being cracked in the future? Most of the algos that the crypto community has been using are well-established and created by professionals and researchers (like the NIST finalists). Did you check for the Cryptonote or Cryptonight (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNightl)? The first is the technology, the second is the algo.Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: jasemoney on April 18, 2014, 03:46:44 PM "blocks recieved" is just the new blocks in the blockchain since your last refresh.

Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: Johnny Mnemonic on April 18, 2014, 09:01:58 PM There may be no pre-mine, but not a single step was taken to make this coin any more accessible than BCN. An easy GUI miner is super critical for early adoption, as is a cross-platform wallet that can be used out of the box. So now the only miners are the same few people willing to fuss around in the command line.
Next week I will start my own fork of Bytecoin - another coin based on CryptoNote technology. It will be started from scratch (from block zero). I will write an anouncement today ot [ANN] subforum. Emission schedule will be more flat and block target will be reduced to 60 sec. If we're going to create a bcn derivative, I think we need to have a serious community discussion about possible changes and improvements in the next iteration.The only community discussion this coin saw (regarding the reduced block time) the developer ignored outright. It was made pretty clear that moving to 60 second blocks was not the best approach and had zero long-term benefit. ... It's a valid point that shorter block times will increase a solo miner's chances of finding a block, but even with a cpu-only coin it's only a matter of time before pooling becomes a necessity. At that point the shorter block time yields no benefit to the miners, but you're still left with the additional orphan blocks and wasted work. I'm also baffled as to why the developer was in such a hurry to get this coin out the door. I suppose he was trying to capitalize on BCN's trending popularity, but unfortunately the big picture was lost. I thought the reason for this fork was that BCN had already been 80% mined, and that we could start fresh and make the coin more accessible to everyone from the beginning, while making improvements to BCN that its devs may not have forseen 2 years ago. If that wasn't the reason for this fork, then my post should be disregarded.

We can attempt to bring validity to all of this or start from scratch and bring forward a better directive with a message that stand true to the reason behind it all. This rush was uneeded and the only ones who will really care about this coin are the ones who wish to get quick on being the first to mine.

Here it is for your perusal. I hope it will help.
Linux tutorial (but should be very close for other platforms) Summary: Two terminals, once for the daemon and one for the wallet and mining • terminal 1: Code: ./bitmonerod Code: ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=name_of_my_wallet.bin Code: ./simplewallet --wallet-file=name_of_my_wallet.bin Get the precompiled binaries Windows Mac Linux you can also compile from source (I was not able to do so on Manjaro Linux, but the Ubuntu precompiled work flawlessly) Open two terminals For each terminal be sure to go to the folder where you have you binaries (on a graphical interface, the fastest way it to drag-and-drop a file from the file manager then remove the name of the file to have only the folder) On terminal 1, type this command Code: ./bitmonerod That's all. Don't close (once the daemon is active, you can use show_hr to get your hashrate or set_log 1/2/3 to change the verbosity of the logs). If you close the daemon whilst you are mining, mining will stop (obviously) and if you open the daemon again the mining won't resume (you must use the start_mining command on the wallet for that) On terminal 2, type this command: Code: ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=name_of_my_wallet.bin You will be prompted for a password. Be careful, you won't have to type a confirmation so beware of typos! Close the wallet with the "exit" command. Now type this command: Code: ./simplewallet --wallet-file=name_of_my_wallet.bin Mining And now the good stuff: mining! Since the wallet is also the miner, enter this: Code: start_mining x Or course, you don't have to use all your threads (especially if you are using your computer for something else) By the way: if you want to know your hashrate, type show_hr in bitmonerod. And if you want to change the amount of information in the daemon, use set_log 1 (least info) to set_log 3 (max info) How can you know that you are actually mining? Check you CPU usage :-) If it less than 80% chances are you are not mining. I hope this tutorial will prove useful Edit: I've been suggested to add my address, so here it is: Code: 46ctfLBhgyzJm61oTtDfu9GbVhG7ito4fNiQjdZcB5bL3mz5ejQrPD29uEkDHFzCVTHGFqAdG456w6ivYp7K23SiGREUiQe (by the way, this coin is welcome breath of fresh air after the agressiveness and, dare I say, stupidity of the Blackcoin thread) Thanks to tacotime (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.msg6286508#msg6286508) for the Ubuntu binaries (I could not compile on Arch) and Vilchaco (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.msg6286822#msg6286822) for the show_hr trick.

Satoshi picked ten minutes not because he wanted to annoy people by making them wait for their transactions but because he looked at latencies across a large network and concluded that 10 minutes was the smallest number that also kept chain forks to a minimum.

I was getting blocks ok, but now all I see is "Block added as alternative" messages. What does this mean? As usual, nothing about this on google. This isn't a problem and you aren't suffering from this unless you have mined block that gone to alternative branch. In the later case (you mined block but somebody else mined two blocks in the different branch) you loose your block reward. This logic is the same in all currencies and in Bitcoin also. 10 minutes were choosen 5 years ago. Now 1 minute is a reasonable minimum. It makes chain to react faster on any changes and gives more chances to solo miners. In currencies with gui wallets you don't read logs normally. If you will you can find reorganize events and lternative chains.

In one of last updates in Bytecoin there was a bug introduced: it calculates extra-size penalty the wrong way. As a result we see that a mined block isn't accepted by the network. I will consume the big transaction now into correct block. As soon as network accepts this block I will release new mining code to git. Here is the tx that caused the problem: id: <f1d8e3391161e4e98566c746d605f97cf432cbd19c83d8b0444e02748f54117e> blob_size: 20534 Funnily this is my tx Hope to see the commit soon! edit: looks like your patch worked, as the tx now exists in the main chain.

Big tx gone into blockchain. You can see blocks in the network at normal speed. 1. Sorry for inconvenience. 2. I'll post about git changes soon. Git updated. BUT: I don't recomment to update all nodes now due to following reasons: - this patch isn't tested properly (=> can cause some other unknown problems) - network operates normally without this patch (it doesn't change any protocol logic) Let's wait 1-2 days before updating all nodes. Old code works the right way in most cases except transactions bigger than 20Kb. In case such big (>20Kb) transaction will appear again it will be included by patched nodes and this will not influence network very much.

After opening up your wallet or typing refresh, you will get three transactions: one for 0.5 BMR, one for 7 BMR and onr for 10 BMR. Yes, there will be "transaction", not "mining". Of course, it could someone sending you in a row 0.5, 7 then 10 :)There is presently no way I am aware of to have a history of found block. If you found a block yesterday, closed the wallet in the evening and open it up today, closed it again and reopened it, you have no way to know you found a block except by looking at your balance (provided you remember of much you had).

Some of you are so familiar with the process that complicated steps are deemed simple to you. With that said I was able to download and mine bytecoin bcn. As of today I can not download bitmonero for windows. This I believe is rush job attempting to be first to market and increase profit margin on very early knowledgeable adapters. There was no attempt to move forward cryptonote vision. No attempt to improve on the delivery or execution of bytecoin bcn. If I can download and mine bcn and cant do the same for bitmonero, this I think implies poor execution. I use myself as a basis because I did not even know what a cmd line was until 3 weeks ago.

But what you're missing is that there are people here, including the developer, willing to help you on a daily basis. Perfect example is that there is an IRC channel designed to help you along with this thread so that you can be helped to solve your problems. I'm willing to help as well, as I've had no issues and am using windows 7. If that sounds like your situation then I think I can be of help. Do you need a link to the download file, or are you having problems with installation? There was no 'immediate' need to move forward with CN vision. They are looking for people to fork the coin, thus it was forked. What do you think needs changed? If you have ideas then please share them, because the main way to move the 'vision' forward is in a dynamic environment . . not a static one for weeks. Already, there was a change in the original source that was used because it acted the wrong way. This seems like the perfect example of how the 'vision' moves forward. The attempt is in the fact that every day you come back and more people are interested, and that it's still here and getting better. Not that someone figured out everything before you ever entered the picture. You can be a part of this so if you have ideas share them.

That may be true on many coins but this one has a very slow mining schedule, pretty close to bitcoin (years). Nobody is gobbling up all the coins early. No instamine here.

But i cant compile it on 12.04 CMake and Boost: sudo apt-get install cmake sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev well actually after much time i managed to compile it. So the problem is that libboost on ubuntu must be 1.5.3 but there is problem installing it. Search the web. I think you must add repository to the source.list and update and install libboost 1.5.3 after that the problem is that you need gcc of version at least 4.7 because you get some errors. So for that i think this will help http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/install-gcc-4-8-via-ppa-in-ubuntu-12-04-13-04/ if it doesnt search the web. Once you have libbost 1.5.3 and gcc 4.7 or later then compiling is fine... lost a few hours searching....

Make sure you have executable ‘simpleminer’ in build/release/src. Launch it with the following params: ./simpleminer --pool-addr=bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 --login=YOUR_ACCOUNT_EMAIL --pass ! Please be careful and put correct e-mail corresponding to your MinerGate account. In case you run simpleminer with wrong or misspelled e-mail all your work will be associated with different account! So we don't have a source. They're just saying you can use simpleminer instead of their executable, which is definitely better since it doesn't involve trusting their software.

Yes you can use pools, but there are always costs to that. Even if not fees, you run the risk of getting ripped off by the pool or the pool getting hacked and being unable to make payouts. There does come a point where pools are absolutely necessary, and you just have to accept these costs, but a block every day or every few days is not that point.

Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: tacotime on April 21, 2014, 08:57:13 PM ByteCoin is technically neither anonymous nor unlinkable -- it's simply designed to provide more privacy for transactions.
Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: smooth on April 21, 2014, 09:31:34 PM ByteCoin is technically neither anonymous nor unlinkable -- it's simply designed to provide more privacy for transactions. Anonymous is somewhat of a vague term, but it is definitely unlinkable in the sense that a transaction can't be linked with its recipient at all. Quote the receiver is the only one who can release the funds after the transaction is committed. He only needs to perform a single-formula check on each transactions to establish if it belongs to him. This process involves his private key, therefore no third party can perform this check and discover the link between the one-time key generated by the sender and the receiver's unique public address. https://cryptonote.org/inside.php Ring signatures are a little weaker. It is possible to identify the sender of a transaction as being among the small group of possible signers, but it still can't be linked with any one signer. By sending a series of transactions to yourself you can perform what amounts to mixing without a third party mixer, because the number of potential originators grows exponentially at each step. This does require a reasonable volume of transactions on the network though. If you are the only one sending transactions then it is obvious they are all yours.

If someone is to create a new fork with these things in mind, I'm supporting. It had a pre-ann and no premine. One could argue launching without a GUI wallet was a poor idea but you can't actually trade with this currency yet. All you can do is mine to secure the network and that's overwhelmingly done by command line in all altcoins (cgminer, sgminer, etc.). Repeatedly relaunching isn't going to accomplish anything. This coin solved two of the most pressing issues: BCN's 80% mining in the deep web and BCN's extremely fast emission schedule. It also proved its worth by fixing the blockchain bug in BCN's latest release and acquiring 120k difficulty (equivalent to 240k in BCN) just a few days after launch. That said, I'd be in favor of a renaming. Bitmonero sounds alright after you hear it enough times, but there are more appealing names to English and Chinese speakers, who together form 90% of the market. No relaunch needed. All it would involve is renaming some files since no CN coin is actually on an exchange and we don't have a website. BitNote would actually be a great name -- it simultaneously shows affinity with CryptoNote from the name similarity and continues the proud ByteCoin tradition of having the same name as a dead coin (BNT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=420341.0).

Either commitment (good) or scam (not good). Considering how premine (which is supposed to go in the same direction) is considered in the cryptocircles, this initiative may be unsucessfull.

My earlier mention of network difficulty being 120k needs to be updated -- it's 191k as of an hour ago (equivalent to 380k BCN). This shows significant interest. The parameters are solid so the only sensible thing to change is the name, which can be done easily at this stage. Maybe TFT did acquire those domains and we're good to go... Also, I believe you said solo mining becomes hard at diff = 250k with a single CPU? We're almost there already. A pool implementation may be needed sooner than thought.

Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: eizh on April 23, 2014, 05:36:18 AM This coin desperately needs a better first post. It still looks like a pre-announcement. I've made one so here you go. Credit to the CryptoNote guys for the nice images and David Latapie for mining guide. Change as you see fit and post it ASAP because the current situation is untenable given that we don't even have a website. It's fundamentally unfair to newcomers and linking to CryptoNote and BCN is not sufficient.
Title: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - an anonymous coin based on CryptoNote technology <Or something similar. Definitely say that it's anonymous.> <fancy logo goes here> Bitmonero (BMR) is a new coin using the CryptoNote protocol. It's based on Bytecoin (BCN), which was coded from scratch and is not a descendent of Bitcoin. BMR was launched on April 18, 2014. Specifications:
Windows binary (https://mega.co.nz/#!dIMVWYTI!kHTvcON_liMT-14--iLM6VMK_zv0dYe5mbBxVT8_Cv4) Linux source (https://github.com/bitmonero-project/bitmonero) (OSX binaries not yet available) Freenode: #bitmonero Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/bitmonero Announcements [Logo contest - till 28 April - bounty 300 BMR]: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580155 FAQ - What is CryptoNote? CryptoNote is the technology that allows creation of anonymous egalitarian cryptocurrencies. You can visit their website here (https://cryptonote.org). The level of anonymity provided by CryptoNote isn't possible with Bitcoin code base by design. Two of the main features of CryptoNote are ring signatures that mask sender identities by mixing and unlinkable transactions accomplished by creating one-time keys for individual payments. Ring signatures are explained below and you can read the white paper (https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf) for the details. The images below come from CryptoNote's website. A normal signature looks like this. There's only one participant. https://i.imgur.com/dcbDq05.png A ring signature obscures identities because it only proves that a signer belongs to a group. https://i.imgur.com/avTQPnT.png This allows a high level of anonymity in cryptocurrency transactions. You can think of it as decentralized mixing. https://i.imgur.com/ioewLSY.png - What is Bytecoin (BCN)? Bytecoin was the first CryptoNote-based coin. It was apparently released on the deepweb in July 2012. It did not surface on the clearweb until March 2014. Important: This is not a Bytecoin relaunch or not a Bytecoin replacement but a Bytecoin fork. Bytecoin has its own long history, community and stakeholders we don't know much about. I respect them and their decisions even if I don't understand them now. An intention to relaunch coin is always harmful for everybody involved. Fork is a right way to contribute to community in case you don't agree with decisions already made. - What are the features of this coin? 1. It uses the Bytecoin(BCN)/CryptoNote code base. 2. Started from scratch (i.e. from genesis block). 3. Emission schedule has a flatter curve (close to Bitcoin's original curve). 4. Bitmonero - BMR (monero = coin in the Esperanto language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto)). 5. Block target = 60 seconds. 6. Penalty-free block size is increased. CryptoNote doesn't have hard limits: all parameters are adaptive. Max block size is adaptive also. It is recalculated the same way difficulty is. In case miner creates block bigger than 1*CURRENT_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE the penalty is applied to block reward (i.e. block reward is decreased). In case miner creates block bigger than 2*CURRENT_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE such block will not be accepted by network. For blocks below penalty-free block size this logic isn't applied. I.e. even in the blockchain with all blocks empty you can create a block of this size with full block reward. In reference code this penalty-free block size is 10Kb - this is good for 2-3 anonymous transactions (anonymous means mixing factor is 5 or more). It's better to have a bit more. 7. Decimal point has been moved from BCN (18.446 million max supply instead of 184.46 billion). This is purely a UI change - technically there will be 2^64 - 1 atomic units (roughly 10^19). 8. Merged mining with Bytecoin will be added soon. Mining Important: CryptoNote can only work on a 64-bit OS. There's no pool implementation yet so solo mining is the only option. Credit to David Latapie for the guide below: Linux tutorial Open two terminals For each terminal be sure to go to the folder where you have you binaries (on a graphical interface, the fastest way it to drag-and-drop a file from the file manager then remove the name of the file to have only the folder) On terminal 1, type this command Code: ./bitmonerod On terminal 2, type this command: Code: ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=name_of_my_wallet.bin Close the wallet with the "exit" command. Now type this command: Code: ./simplewallet --wallet-file=name_of_my_wallet.bin Windows tutorial You can use the command line as above. You can also use the batch file shown below. Paste the text into notepad and save it as a .bat file. Note that you can change the name of your wallet file if you want (it's wallet.bin here). Double click the .bat file then go down to mining after waiting for terminal 1 to sync. Code: @echo off Mining And now the good stuff: mining! Since the wallet can command the daemon (miner), enter this in the wallet terminal: Code: start_mining <number of threads> Or course, you don't have to use all your threads (especially if you are using your computer for something else such as simultaneous GPU mining). You can mine to a specific address by typing this in the daemon terminal (not the wallet terminal): Code: start_mining <address> <number of threads> By the way: if you want to know your hashrate, type show_hr in bitmonerod. And if you want to change the amount of information in the daemon, use set_log 1 (least info) to set_log 3 (max info). How can you know that you are actually mining? Check you CPU usage :-) If it less than 80% chances are you are not mining. I hope this tutorial will prove useful.

I couldn't build it on Ubuntu 14 but on 13.10 it builds like described on page 14: diff is too high now for solo, unless you are a botnet ;D that is strange because on bytecoin at diff 600k I could mine ~1 block per day, here diff is only 120k but no block for almost 24 h. Maybe OP should contact minergate to add BMR pool ;D edit: now there is a source for minergate miner https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin Solo should be okay, I have been getting blocks still solo. May just be unlucky. Try compiling in ubuntu linux 13.10, you usually get about 3x higher hash rates than windows. Only 13.10 has the correct dependencies, do not download 14.4!!!

Cryptonote is cool but i think i'll wait till May/June for Zerocash realease. CryptoNote has relatively good privacy for transmitting values throughout the network (ring signatures, stealth addressing) while not compromising things like being able to detect inflation over the network. In ZeroCash, you can only prove that coins have been generated, not the amount that was generated, so any bugs within the system will go undetected. This would have been a huge problem for Bitcoin, as there was a well known bug involving integer overflow that allowed you to generate 2 billion coins. Note that zero knowledge proofs are used in the ring signature method by ByteCoin/BitMonero, too (see section 4.4 of the whitepaper). Obfuscation of signature linkability is much more advanced than that used in DarkCoin, and you need to read the whitepaper to truly appreciate it. CryptoNote also has support for multisig built in, despite the much more limited scripting language as compared to Bitcoin (see Section 6.3 of the CryptoNote 2.0 whitepaper). This is important for the implementation of decentralized marketplaces like DarkMarket (https://github.com/darkwallet/darkmarket) that use multisig to enable the blockchain to be an escrow.

Got 4 blocks over the night :P If the network continues to grow at the current rate, likely we will see an end to solo mining in a week or two. However, we already have all the RPC functions we need to make pools, which is good news. A P2Pool implementation for ByteCoin/BitMonero would be something wonderful, but likely very complicated.

Will it be able to address the latency issue in transaction propagation, or will it be severely limited to a userbase that is finite -- or one with no capability to handle microtransactions? and 2. Please address the last issue in the paragraph, where the entire system may be compromised.

Cryptonote is cool but i think i'll wait till May/June for Zerocash realease. I never used the word untraceable. That's not what "unlinkable transactions" means -- it's more like automatically generating new public keys for every act of receiving payment. The ring signatures are a different feature. Yes, zero-knowledge proofs have more anonymity but at the cost of:
"It's new and shiny" is not a reason to trust your money with it -- it's a reason not to, in fact. I think decentralized mixing like this or DRK has better prospects than ZeroCash/ZeroCoin. While Green and his team are doing very good work, these are more like academic curiosities right now. Mixing gives robust 99% anonymity (that can be taken to 99.999... with cascaded mixing). By the way, knowing grad students and professors, I'm not holding my breath on a May release. ;) I agree that Zerocash base code is new and untested. But your concern about security can be said to whole cryptocurrency. Bitcoin once has an exploit allowing attacker to create infinite amount of coin. Indeed, and with BTC we'd know immediately because we can see generation on the blockchain. A fix would be issued quickly. With Zero, it's game over. As the price decreases with supply flooding the market, maybe someone will eventually guess at it, but it can never actually be known.

Technically all those blocks could have been created in a short time by someone with enough hash power (and it isn't even really that much). The problem with all this lack of transparency is that you really can't trust anything about it. I call it a ninja premine because for either reason, the name fits. If they mined for two years, then they are good at staying hidden. If they mined in a few days or weeks and then launched with this unverifiable story about a two year history in the deep web, then they are experts in disguise and deception.

Description really helped me to understand the mechanism of using key and a signature in transactions.
I've found a new section on CryptoNote website, the standard transaction generation: https://cryptonote.org/inside.php#standard-transaction Quote A standard CryptoNote transaction is generated by the following sequence covered in the white paper. Bob decides to spend an output, which was sent to the one-time public key. He needs Extra (1), TxOutNumber (2), and his Account private key (3) to recover his one-time private key (4). When sending a transaction to Carol, Bob generates its Extra value by random (5). He uses Extra (6), TxOutNumber (7) and Carol's Account public key (8) to get her Output public key (9). In the input Bob hides the link to his output among the foreign keys (10). To prevent double-spending he also packs the Key image, derived from his One-time private key (11). Finally, Bob signs the transaction, using his One-time private key (12), all the public keys (13) and Key Image (14). He appends the resulting Ring Signature to the end of the transaction (15). I'm not sure I saw it last time I visited the website.

Total hash rate is about 10000. With 29 you should get 0.29% of the blocks. There are 1440 blocks per day so you should be getting 4 blocks per day at that rate. You might want to keep going.

(you have created 2 coins in a shorter period than honeypenny has taken to produce one coin.) either you are a super genius or is this a pump and dump or is it regret. regret of walking away from monero when you were ok with name change. 7. clearly you are knowledgeable and capable. why not work with the current monero team and build that coin. there are concerns about anynomity not being at all guaranteed (this is true for zerocash as well) since the IP address of sender is not obfuscated. is this not a concern for you as you are currently prolaiming fantomcoin and bitmonero as anonymous. is it what you had said about the emission curve of bitmonero at time of release that it would be flatter but in reality it was not. therefore, can your claims be trusted. thanks.

This is always confusing me - IMO why don't you continue to develop only one coin? what's the necessity to make a fork? 2. you now have to projects. emontmon, you've meed ''W'' ;) IMO, point #6 was unexpected and as for point #7, I think, this one is clear (but would like to hear TFT answer) I think that's because TTF has his own view on everything differ from monero's dev team. Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: slapper on May 12, 2014, 04:18:12 AM TFT's major problem is forcing merge mining with BCN in order to keep BCN alive. I think he underestimated BTCTalk's aversion for premines/shadowmine/instamines and merge mining was just a way to support the BCN cartel. Maybe he was pressured to do it by those BCN deepnerds.
The community just didn't want to start another fork and wanted to work with TFT but one can understand that he was not allowed by the BCN team to release something that would undercut BCN. He will not be able to support MRO publicly and what the community wanted to avoid, happened anyways but only after a lot of bloodbath and he said/she said that doesn't do anyone any good. MRO will continue on and one side needs to fork and I think it should be MRO since TFT brought the coin here in the first place. Let him be and I am sure some new sockpuppets will be "loving merge mining with BCN". After a few weeks/months there will be one CN based coin that the majority will support and will come out on top. This status quo must end asap. Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: beetlefeet on May 12, 2014, 11:48:49 AM Ok I started mining a few days ago and got a block today. But I don't even know if I'm mining BMR or MRO?! How can I tell?
Is there anywhere to check balance for an address with either of these 2 coins?! Coming from BTC/LTC/PPC etc I'm quite interested in MRO due to the fresh codebase and new proof of work and more anonymous transactions. But the marketing for these coins is ridiculous...

But I don't even know if I'm mining BMR or MRO?! How can I tell? Is there anywhere to check balance for an address with either of these 2 coins?! Coming from BTC/LTC/PPC etc I'm quite interested in MRO due to the fresh codebase and new proof of work and more anonymous transactions. But the marketing for these coins is ridiculous...

[/Edit] as stated in my post about 4 up thread and in many other places and alluded to by the post right before yours bitmonero is one and the same as monero. name change requested by the community. no difference as of now. a fork will likely come in the future but I like you, would like that clearly stated with days in advance notice so that there is no confusion. like you I am confused easily.

I'm eventually back again. Was working on several outstanding features nobody could overcome in the nearest future. But now before going on and pushing updates I would like to ask the community for help and support. Not for free for sure. I've developed a very clean strategy for next actions. I'm a developer, not so social as you can see) I spend most of the time developing new features and polishing code. As community can easily see, most of my work was abandonded due to lack of forum activity. I see I need strong PR manager for Bitmonero project or a team that could take that business. It goes without saying smart people understand that currencty without strong engineering support (including mathematicians, developers) has no future. That's why I'm not so worry about current situation. The Monero team is doing good PR for me as well - when appropriate time comes, people will easily find out the real source and will figure out, what has real investment potential. But now it is really sad to see where the clone is going. Throwing without a direction. Even with the name they still not sure what they are developing. MRO first, then XMR, is next name XXX to look more mature? The way it was developed today and the past several months is just going nowhere. They still did not get the key idea of Bitmonero project. It requires thinking and understanding where is it going. I have very clear vision about future development, and would like to make an offer for the community. I also accept feature requests from users. This message is an official call for oustanding PR sharks! Please, PM me by 25.06.2014, answering simple questions: 0.

See ya, I'm thankful_for_today I'm not sure I should even say anything at all, since the tone of your message is condescending. In the past month, we've recruited several new developers to work on features that are generally non-functional on the daemon, fixed (vaguely) the txmempool but you commited that caused random blockreward destruction for miners, and hired a couple of academic mathematicians/cryptographers to review the implementation code and CryptoNote whitepaper. We got the pool implementation working and are close to GUI beta (amongst several other working betas based on .net for Windows). We fixed a number of other issues with the software and have a massive TODO list of things that need to be resolved. We extended ourselves to work with you and offered push/pull to the repo so you could push any changes you wanted to. I'm not sure what exactly else you needed from us. It appears that you wanted to remove the community here from any design and development aspects of the coin, which is counter to everything cryptocurrency has stood for up to this point.

Think you might be getting thinking too deep with this. TFT started this project and it was essentially rushed, hasnt really been all that active and very little community involvement. I think the recent price jumps and continued growth of Monero will cause one to be more proactive and seem entitled. DStrange is the one in contact with BCN devs and is no way connected really to any of this, as a matter of fact, all of BCN was discovered in a Bytecoin thread (SHA-256 Type - BTE) back in March when those guys realised the site posted was not the site of their coin, but a totally new coin. After finding out that it was not a re-brand and a rip-off of BTE, DStrange started a new thread which is the current BCN thread we see today. Knowing this as the begining of the introduction to cryptonote to this thread may dispell alot of what you said. QCN dev is a game developer I believe. He tried to Re-Launch the coin yes, but he has stated that he was only trolling, which is very easy to believe. He is not as skilled as the Monero team or TFT, but seems to be a very good dev who has an understanding and can make changes as needed. Alot of updates are added after the Monero team releases them for their coin, so it may just be piggy backing off the success and innovation and also the PRfirm thing. (people might not like hearing that.) In the end these guys are looking to go after what alot have achieved by Monero, which has had alot of outside help from actual companies and experts. Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: aminorex on June 18, 2014, 07:57:59 PM TFT played a historically important role in the genesis of Monero, and thus he has influence and visibility disproportionate to his contribution to the community. Therefore, it is strongly in the interests of the remainder of the community that his interests become aligned with ours in a mutually beneficial manner. Consequently, it is highly probable that, by means of improved, respectful, and not paranoid communication, a mutually beneficial outcome can be obtained. While it is always challenging to communicate without full engagement from both sides, there is a lot of motivation to meet that challenge in this case.
Damaging outcomes are extremely unlikely, because they would be harmful to TFT no less than to the Monero community at large. Incompetence or defection are always possible, but given the demonstrated capabilities of the parties involved, one can infer that they are unlikely in this case.

While it is always challenging to communicate without full engagement from both sides, there is a lot of motivation to meet that challenge in this case. Actually, several attempts were made behind the scenes and TFT's continued demand was full admin rights over the Monero repo. Now, what could that be useful for when tacotime already offered push/pull rights? It's certainly not about contributing code - push/pull offers the right to do that without interference or permission. This is basically a repeating pattern of shutting out everyone else, which is ironically what caused him to lose the project in the first place. The tone of that post makes his level of maturity obvious for everyone to see. I might also point out that his contribution to date consists of 10 or so lines of code changed in a header file (to clone BCN). Then a bug 'fix' that actually allowed the chain to be attacked later (now fixed). This was followed by his disappearance. Disproportionate visibility indeed. Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: GreekBitcoin on June 18, 2014, 11:59:11 PM As you said you you are not so social and a coin cannot develop without a community. It is the community that gathered that constantly make the code better but also attract more people to make it even better.
That being said if you truly believe you are a good developer stop trying to be the boss and be a good developer. This way the coin can be even better and you can gain the respect of the people if you indeed worth it and also persuade people about things you believe should happen in the coin. By taking decisions only by yourself and never listen to what others say you cant create a successful coin. I never saw you arguing about any proposals and you are never online. I hope you understand what i mean. Only cooperation can make a great future.

Title: Re: [ANN][?] A new coin based on CryptoNote technology (BCN fork) Post by: gembitz on August 18, 2018, 04:40:51 PM Is there a rationale for sticking with the CryptoNite hashing algo? Some issues I pointed out before: 1) the CPU mining phase is prone to botnets 2) Someone will inevitably develop a GPU miner and it's in their interest not to release it, creating a fairness problem. (I'd personally prefer X11, because it's CPU+GPU and draws much less power than scrypt.) Then go to Groestl, which draws even less power than X11, is CPU+GPU too and better yet reduces the advantage of GPU over CPU.I personally am explicity against a CPU+GPU algo. Because this means CPU have no reason to mine anymore (except for increasing a little the mining power of a GPU miner). GPU mining means "more money for the richs, less money for the rest of us". Not exactly in the direction of fairness. Plus, CryptoNote goes beyond a lot of the shortcoming of the bitcoin protocol. CryptoNote uses CryptoNight algo only. Maybe it could be possible to implement X11 on CryptoNote as a replacement for CryptNight, but as stated above, I am against this. That being said, your point regarding botnets is interesting. I suppose the reason why there is not much botnets on GPU is that server do not come with a real GPU to start with. edit: I actually can't find anything on this algo. Is this even a sound hashing function with a low probability of being cracked in the future? Most of the algos that the crypto community has been using are well-established and created by professionals and researchers (like the NIST finalists). Did you check for the Cryptonote or Cryptonight (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNightl)? The first is the technology, the second is the algo.botnets lol ;) muuhahaah Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: gembitz on August 18, 2018, 05:06:23 PM what about bitmone.ro , or bitmonero.net ....? Whatever the name change, it should not be discussed on a forum.WHY NOT ? ===> REPTILIAN CORPORATE OVERLORDS ARE IN CHARGE HERE !!? ::) Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: gembitz on August 18, 2018, 05:10:32 PM This is not gonna be "the next Bitcoin" unless it's forked... ===> Right now this is just a botnet coin. hate to admit this: r0ach is a visionary :) rotflmfao Title: Re: [ANN][BMR] Bitmonero - a new coin based on CryptoNote technology - LAUNCHED Post by: gingerbreadpolythenefh on September 13, 2018, 01:53:51 AM I think that the project is quite impressive and will support this project
