Hm, there's something I'd really like to see for Bytecoin. A cryptonote pool from https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

Can anybody create this one to mine instead of closed-source Minergate?

They've released open-source instructions for the miner.

Does MinerGate still have withdrawal problems?

1. I have asked my friend why he had started mining BCN last year. He said only "some services are cheaper for bytecoin community members".  

2. Next step of my own investigation: I opened blockchain.bin with Far Manager and found that:




... drments can't hope to control movements and communications of citizens; borders are transparent is from the Cyphernomicon  I googled it Grin

flower1024, October 2013 is nothing that special, find someone who mined it in 2012 :p
One question you could ask your friend is why did he mine it? What for?

Ok, I will ask

Lol 0.001 BCN hosting?

Somebody might wish the coin badly.

What a coincidence, exchange is up and running and new "stories" pops up

Such stories don't influence exchange rate. It's users that create the rate. Obviously, one hosting page doesn't change anything on the exchange. Which exchange btw, did I miss anything?

I'm watching this thread almost from the very beginning. BCN seems to be promising cryptocurrency, but I was always a bit concerned about all those rumors, you know what I'm talking about.
I made my own investigation and was not so successful as Sherlock but at least now I know one person who has been mining BCN from October 2013. He's my friend and I made a vow not to disclose his identity so no questions is allowed.

Then about new message from Bytecoin.org



Here's the TOR site specified there - http://oelk72ntcrvzljfo.onion/


Better view: https://i.imgur.com/I0h4WMV.png

Think that's excellent. Bytecoin community seems to support open knowledge and technology as well as privacy protection.
 I have already sent ~20 000 BCN to MIRI.

I do like this idea very much. its another step to keep crypto decentralized.

1048  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: (Unofficial) [ANN] Litecoin [LTC] to X11 algorithm hardfork on: April 01, 2014, 04:56:09 PM
- dear Charlie, we will not disclose that (yet)
- show me one existing X11 ASIC?
- yes, we would. And because of that, no company would take the risk to invest in building an ASIC for X11 unless another X11 coin (HIRO / DRK) becomes the second cryptocurrency
- our main concern is we will not be able to convince an overwhelming majority to support the hardfork and that's why we will have to put much effort in it
- exchanges and pools will be dealt with, without their support there will be no hardfork. A website is not vital for the survival of a coin, you may or may not host the hardforked client on the current website, there are other ways to distribute a client
- the hardforked coin still is LTC after the hardfork, so no reason for confusion. All the coins will stay where they are, except for a client update nothing will change for anyone, except the miners use another miner and scrypt ASICS become irrelevant for LTC

so there will be no hardfork. no more worries Wink
if all exchanges and pools switch at the same moment the confusion will only be short: but its still very unlikely to happen
1049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: (Unofficial) [ANN] Litecoin [LTC] to X11 algorithm hardfork on: March 31, 2014, 05:44:51 PM
We don't want LTC to become the next Nokia or Kodak.
If Bitcoin is Usenet, let LTC become Torrents.

fixed it for you Wink

So it is an 51 % attack (kind of). If 51% of users take the new wallet and algo the others cant do anything about it?

51% attack cannot change the pow algo

just guessing: ltc still has more gpu power than asics.

So we need an successful 51% attack for the fork?

no
a 51% attack cannot change the algo.
its just a new coin with pre-initialized balances (eg premining Wink

After Bitcoin I would say some form of NXT is going to be the market leader.

Have you used Ripple?

Personally I found the IOU thing a royal pain in the ass. I don't understand it exactly, most don't but you don't really own anything but you trust others for stuff.

It might get built on to make it user friendly but now its fully in geek tech head territory...

xrp / rippels itself are no IOUs.
only other currencies (like btc or usd) are. but i also have more faith in pts/nxt/msc atm
1054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone else get this feeling? on: March 29, 2014, 09:44:38 AM
ripple is - still - not opensource and is somewhat centralized.
i dont think ripple will succeed.

You seem to know what you're talking about...

And I could argue that Bitcoin is somewhat centralized (but I can't be bothered).

where is the ripple-server-source?

Straight from the administrator of this site  Tongue https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301635.0

No hard feelings. Loads of people don't realize that it is open source.

ah the have released it.. i missed that. it started very closed but only with the promise to be oss. i'll check...

edit: one difference between ripple-centralization and bitcoin centralization is: with bitcoin i can (theoretically) build a new mining-farm and be part of the "centralization". with ripple i cannot

tell your "programmer" about a brand new innovation: unit- and integration tests
Thank you, I do appreciate the advice, but like I said, that "encounter" was in the past and I did had to tell him "differently". ...I don't really know the whereabouts of that programmer from that point on.

i was a little sarcastic - 6am here...sorry
but seriously: if a developer faces the problem that any change produces more and other bugs its time to start over with proper testing (and he should not have developed it that way in the first place).

Is "Hide offer" function cancelled, or is it not working?

I used to work with plain horrible programmer on some project a while back, where every fucking single time some modification to the script is made by him, some other feature on the site get's screwed up and stops working or is malfunctioning, because of the new change introduced. The worst part is that when the site is heavily multifunctional, there is no way to know which feature gets screwed, until one tries to use it. It was really becoming a nightmare when these secondary issues were getting "fixed" and thus the troubles where just mounting at a snowball rate, with every next fucking "fix".  I really hope this is not the case at Bitfinex, I honestly do!!!
