Gentlemen, I have good news.
well, or not so good.
At least I made some clarity.

On BTER.com returned all XCN which I tried to send to btc38.com ( I wrote a request to support BTER. To honor of this exchange I have to say that they respond quickly.)
I guess they got (bothered) tired of trying to fix the problem, and they simply returned coins.
(my English is bad. and not sure that I select the words correctly, so sorry)

However XCN that I sent from Poloniex to btc38 received successfully !
But not credited to the wallet in btc38.
I see him in block explorer, but i not can trade him.
it is very frustrating!

btc38.com deceive possible? (for lock the wallet)

P.S. if you intend to revive the coin - the price will be high again.

Again, I'm doing all that I can to help them fix their wallet. I really do not know what to do more than this.
It really looks like they either do not want to have it fixed now, or they are really bad, because there are tens of active and fully working nodes all around the globe.

And yes, I intend to revive the coin and I'm dedicating time and resources to it. Plus there is gnasirator who is providing the block explorer and soon the new site and wiki, and a developer friend who is working on fixing the sync issue. That will avoid all excuses from the exchanges.
After that, we will be working on improvements of all kinds.

Why new thread?

Because we can't modify the original thread as the owner is inactive.
I needed to put a lot of new information: scattering it thru the old thread is very confusing.
With the new thread, we can have an updated place with all the info on Cryptonite.

Introduction

Cryptonite (also known as Crypton) was launched in 2014 and is the first crypto-currency to implement the mini-blockchain scheme along with many other innovative features. Our goal was to create a truly scalable cryptocurrency which combined many of the best ideas developed within the alt-coin community and some of our own innovative ideas. The basic philosophy of Cryptonite is to follow the ideals set by Bitcoin as closely as possible but improve upon everything that could be improved.

Cryptonite was developed by the Mini-blockchain Project over a period of almost four months. Cryptonite is a fork of the Bitcoin core but the code has been extensively modified and expanded upon. It seems that the altcoin community is experiencing a torrential flood of clone-coins right now and it is not our goal to add to that pile of useless altcoins. Our goal was to create something truly new, innovative, and useful to the cryptocurrency community.

The altcoin community should be about innovation, not a select few people making a quick buck. Our goal was to break out of that greed driven trend. Cryptonite had no pre-mine, no IPO, the difficulty adjustment algorithm is designed to adapt quickly and prevent instamines, the coins are distributed fairly over a long period of time (half mined after 10 years), we did over a month of public beta testing before release along with a week early pre-announcement.

Brief Overview

Mini-Blockchain

Cryptonite is the first implementation of the light weight mini-blockchain scheme. Nodes will never again spend days synchronizing with the network and the average user will not have to fear becoming a full node. This is possible because of our decentralized balance sheet approach.

Innovative Ideas

Cryptonite combines many great ideas developed by the altcoin community and also includes several novel features not seen in another cryptocurrency until now. Two innovative features which help improve security and trust are unmalleable transactions and withdrawal limits.

Smart Adaptation

Cryptonite achieves smart coin distribution by adjusting the difficulty and the block reward every block, adapting quickly to changes and providing smoother transitions. The dynamic max block size mechanism ensures that the transaction capacity of the network naturally grows over time.

Future Proofed

Cryptonite has an unparalleled potential for scalability and transaction capacity. The total coin supply has a full 64 bits of granularity, the nonce and the timestamp have also been increased to 64 bits. The M7 PoW algorithm uses multiple cryptographically secure hashing algorithms.

Micro-Transactions

Cryptonite has superior support for micro-transactions because we don't have to worry about keeping any so called "dust" in the blockchain forever. Since blockchain bloat is not a problem, blocks can be larger and we can encourage the use of custom transaction messages.

Multi-Sig Support

Cryptonite has full native support for multi-signature transactions, which require multiple parties to sign a transaction with different keys before it is considered valid. Multi-sig transactions are useful in many real world situations, especially for consumer protection and escrow schemes.

Specifications

- Block time: 1 per minute
- Block reward: changes every block (half life of 10 years)
- Max block size: changes every block (100 block average * 2)
- Difficulty adjustment: changes every block (1000 block filter)
- Coin supply: 2^64-1 units (1.84 billion coins, 10 dec places)
- Mining algorithm: M7 PoW
- Coin Maturity: instant
- Pre-mine: none

Blockchain snapshot:

Mini-blockchain is about quick initial sync and small data directory.
But there are times when you may need the full blockchain; for example if you run a block explorer, or if you have troubles syncing for any reason. Another situation can be when you recover a private key on a new wallet, and want to see your old transactions.

Full Snapshot from 2022-06-02

How to use the snapshots: close the wallet and wait some seconds, to be sure that all the data files are closed. Copy the snapshot over your data directory (the one including "wallet.dat"), you don't need to delete anything. Run the wallet again. In case the wallet asks you, do not click "resync", just wait.

Detailed info
You can sync in two modes: from scratch or from a snapshot.

From scratch is the fastest as it syncs headers only, then blocks for the last week + the trie; usually takes about half an hour or a little more. This way you have less disk usage because you are making use of the mini-blockchain feature.

From snapshot you will have a full blockchain on disk, but takes time as it will download full blocks since the snapshot, and of course takes a lot more disk space.

If you go for the "from scratch" mode, and you interrupt it while it initially syncs, the trie may break and you will need to reset your blockchain (running with -resync or going for the snapshot mode).

More Details

Mini-blockchain Scheme

Cryptonite is the first implementation of the mini-blockchain scheme, a scheme designed for maximum scalability, achieved by addressing the problem of blockchain bloat and providing a solution which allows all old transactions to be forgotten by the network after they become old enough. This allows new nodes to synchronize with the network extremely quickly and allows existing nodes to free up disk space by deleting old transactions. As a result of this scheme the network doesn't need to become increasingly centralized only by nodes capable of handling the full blockchain, so mining can remain more decentralized.

Micro-transactions & Messages

Thanks to the mini-blockchain scheme Cryptonite has superior support for micro-transactions and custom transaction messages attached to transactions. In Bitcoin and other altcoins where the full blockchain is required to synchronize with the network, small value transactions and transaction messages tend to be discouraged because they cause "blockchain bloat". The scalable nature of the mini-blockchain scheme relieves us from the concern of blockchain bloat and we can have full support for transaction messages and micro-transactions because nodes don't need to store transactions forever.

Withdrawal Limits

Cryptonite is the first altcoin to feature withdrawal limits, allowing users to set a limit on how many coins they can send from an address in one block. This is useful because it helps to prevent double spending and increases confidence in low-confirmation transactions. If a merchant can see that the withdrawal limit on an address prevents it from being emptied in a small number of blocks they can have much more confidence in any transactions sent to them from that address, even without any confirmations at all. So the main advantage of withdrawal limits is that 0-confirmation transactions become safer in the right conditions.

Unmalleable Transactions

If the claims of Mt. Gox and other businesses are to be believed, transaction malleability has caused quite a bit of damage to the Bitcoin economy. Of course even if that's the true reason why Mt. Gox went out of business, it's still their fault for not understanding transaction malleability when it was well known about for a long time. Cryptonite is the first altcoin to feature unmalleable transactions, in order to avoid any repeat of such undesirable events and allow the transaction ID's to be reliable. This is achieved by having the sender sign the txid and by ensuring the txid will always change when the contents of the transaction changes.

They are using the old windows precompiled wallet: can someone who's using the same wallet, provide a blockchain snapshot?

Is  there a new precompiled windows 7 x64 wallet?
I've been using that one ever since and had no real issues with it - it does need some time to properly boot up and after shutting down but apart from that it seems fine.

I'm working with a dev friend who is helping to fix the sync issue, then we will release a new windows precompiled wallet, along with all the reast which is coming.
Stay tuned! :-)

This just confirms what I said: keccak is very fast and probably would take less than 4%, if alone.
And, groestl is taking 16%, not 19%.

Yes, so in order to optimize Sib, you need to optimize all the algos.. Pretty difficult, since the opensource is good already..

Pretty true: the fun has been optimising the first miner, when streebog was the new game. You could get 3x on SIB and 7x on Veltor.
1975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 21, 2017, 02:09:49 PM
No, streebog is much slower, infact it's similar to groestl but much heavier. Unless you can bitslice streebog LoL!

(Profiling of the SIB opensource kernel by the army-boy)

Streeborg+keccak take 29.2% of the time. Groestl 19.02%

This just confirms what I said: keccak is very fast and probably would take less than 4%, if alone.
And, groestl is taking 16%, not 19%.

Hi,

what's wrong with espers pool? the website is down. my miner also disconnected.

You need to wait block 638000, when PoW will restart.
1979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 21, 2017, 10:05:16 AM
With the faster groestl kernel, SIB and X11Evo is also faster. Groestl is the slower algo in SIB. a few percent faster groestl-->a few percent faster SIB.

No, streebog is much slower, infact it's similar to groestl but much heavier. Unless you can bitslice streebog LoL!
