This is not gonna be "the next Bitcoin" unless it's forked to a Myriadcoin type revision. Four algorithms at 8-10 minutes each: Groestl, Cryptonote algo, Sha 256, and then either Skein, Heavycoin algo, or X11.
Right now this is just a botnet coin.

Fork would be good. This (Bitmonero) and the other "HoneyPenny" sound both terrible. We need a good Cryptonote based coin that has probably a preannouncement, no premine or at least honest premine, websites registered before launch and a good name like Bitnote or sth. If someone is to create a new fork with these things in mind, I'm supporting.
We can just rename it too, like what was done with PeerCoin. Some kind of monero or esperanto derivative. So far the initial distribution is very good -- reminds me a lot of Litecoin. |

ByteCoin is technically neither anonymous nor unlinkable -- it's simply designed to provide more privacy for transactions.

Services still needed:
- Official exchange
- Pool and open source pool software
- GUI wallet
- Faucet
I will try to work on GUI as I have time, I'm getting back into doing stuff for MC2

diff is too high now for solo, unless you are a botnet  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 edit: now there is a source for minergate miner https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoinSolo 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!!! Compile in this way: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev cmake
cd $HOME/your_bitmonero_directory/
mkdir build
make -j4 |

May i ask why blocks are so slow? I mean there seems to be not instamine. people didnt bother with the coin or diff changes every block or something? I guess i have to check bytecoins algo...
Difficulty change is per block and adaptive, so there is no instamine. |

Bytecoin difficulty appears significantly down from its peak (hanging aroung 800k right now vs a peak around 1200k). Wonder if BMR has interested some of the miners?
Our diff hit 120k last night, so probably. |

A block explorer should be easy to make; just query the RPC webserver with JSON requests for the blocks and their contents, then dump that into a database.

To make it not crash I had to downclock memory perhaps these are sensitive to memory errors (AMD gpus don't do error afaik) Once I saw out of memory message, once something like an attempt to write to restricted memory (can't remember the exact wording). I get both these errors too, downclocking mem to 1300 MHz helps but probably there are memory leaks in the CPU code |

windows build this and add pool support so i can add this to guiminer-scrypt already!  |

My comment was not that I feel left out. Rather, I am impressed with the background of cryptonight. I have very limited ability to understand the technology. I very much feel that much of what is written on these forums are beyond me. However the philosophy great. Some thing that appeals to me. I also feel that there is a great opportunity here that has been missed. You and thankful could have collaborated and brought bytecoin 2.0. A coin that builds onThe previous version. A gui, mac bineries. And accessible windows bineries. The link at the begging does not work.
Those are my thoughts.these, just criticisms and from me who has nothing to Contribute really. I am just impressed with all of this, crypto currency technogy. I can barely understand it.
The forum messed up the link because of its # character. Copy-paste the whole thing and it does work: https://mega.co.nz/#!dIMVWYTI!kHTvcON_liMT-14--iLM6VMK_zv0dYe5mbBxVT8_Cv4 This coin is a work-in-progress. I would've waited for a GUI before release but at this point I think it's proven its legitimacy by fixing a blockchain-killing bug. another link to the windows binaries is here: https://anonfiles.com/file/557536bff04c9dbb85d290233850873bdifficulty is almost at 100k |

I am new to cryptocurrencies. 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.
you can also follow these simple instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=544715even if you start mining three days after launch you're still in a pretty good place. Current difficulty is 93367, until we hit 250k or so you should still be able to solo with a good CPU |

havent found a block in ~2600 Hashrate 11 :/
You should get at least a few blocks per day... keep mining  |

Maybe your motivations are about quick and dirty profits, but the Mastercoin Foundation and the MaidSafe Foundation are not looking for a quick profit based on immediate market conditions. This is about building decentralized systems than can be trusted by their algorithmic nature, and leveraging the strengths of projects in the space to do so. We are ecstatic that MaidSafe has decided to use the Master Protocol for their Crowdsale, and we’re working hard to ensure that everything is as fair, open and transparent as possible.
Craig
So why choose an exchange rate that favours elevating the price of Mastercoin artificially in the short term? I like the MaidSafe devs and I've met them in person, but the way you're going about this will ensure a fork of the software shortly after launch that will likely overtake the main chain. The whole thing is awfully depressing to me. Why not try to emulate Satoshi better, e.g. find some investors to help you spin up datacenters that mine your own coin, and then pay your investors in the coins you generate? |

Backers will receive 17,000 MaidSafeCoins per bitcoin
Backers will receive 3,400 MaidSafeCoins per mastercoin---from http://buysafecoins.comThis means 1msc=0.2btc,how did they decide the exchange rate? As I know, 1msc=0.08btc before this released, why don't they let the market decide the rate? I think this is a way to let the msc big holders to sell them msc high. Maybe something deep inside the project.  price manipulation 2.0, featuring the mastercoin foundation Just curious if you know something I don't or if this is FUD, because if you have further information on why I should avoid this IPO, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. because the IPO is designed to pump mastercoin price and someone can simply fork maidsafe and the token system because it's open source? |

Hi!
So Taco, any news for us about GUI Miner?
Best Regards,
LPC
maybe soon when open source prime miner comes out that will be added + minor bug fixes |
|
|
|
how about wallet with gui not only with command line?))
it is being worked on a botnet or cloud has come onto the network starting at block 2633, difficulty is now almost 100k! |
|
|
|

this program causes severe memory leak errors on a couple machines with 7950s and 7970s... not sure what the issue is

The problem is in block generation code. 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. |

I'm seeing a ton of red in bitmonerod - presumably this is the issue displaying itself.
Do I need to re-download the blockchain? Download a new wallet or bitmonerod? Just leave it mining and it will fix itself?
Thanks.
It's a soft fork so prior blocks should be OK, just need to recompile |
