Isn't the bytecoin wallet a peer to peer client that share the blockchain?
if that's the case, it should be a lot of peers every time you open the bytecoin wallet.
and the bytecoin wallet should have an option to limit download and upload speeds, i said this before.


Perhaps it SHOULD show a lot of peers, but it doesn't.  Fortunately, I had 12 peers for a while and it looks like my download will complete within the next couple hours.  This process has taken me well over 1 week to complete.  Again, it's very off-putting for people that are only acutely interested in cryptocurrency.

Anyway, thanks to all of you that have offered suggestions.

Is anyone familiar with what all the operating expenses would be?

I own and manage several websites that are unrelated to cryptocurrency, but I don't own any service-based websites, so this would be a bit of new territory for me.

If anyone can shed some light on this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Guys, where can I go to download the Blockchain, directly?  My wallet synchronization shows 1 peer and has been as such for the last 3 days, and I have over 3 years remaining.

I suppose you use the old version of the Bytecoin Wallet GUI? Right? Here is a hardfork. Old versions will stop working.

Unfortunately, there is no way to take blockchain here. Sync goes from scratch.

You need to install a new version of v3.3.0. Everything will be fine.

Hello and thank you for your reply.  I'm actually using the latest version of the wallet, recently downloaded from the website.  Also, I'm on a 1Gigabit connection with my laptop getting around 84Mbps on WiFi, so my connection speed isn't the issue.  My issue is that I am only connected to 1 or 2 peers.  Last night, I observed that I'm connected to 10 peers, and it stayed that way through the night, so I made some headway.  I really just want to know how I can force my client to connect to more peers, as that would surely speed things along.

When you guys start purchasing the "BIG GUNZ", such as those 1000+Watt ASIC miners, do you use them at home?  I was looking at some of them on various websites but I'm afraid I may overload a circuit or something.  Any insight on this?  I would love to hear from some of the experienced miners on here.

Hello all,

How can we trust if this is legit before downloading?

Thank you again for your assistance.  I have taken a look at the URLs you posted and at this point, have still been unsuccessful with speeding up my synchronization with regards to my current wallet.
However, thanks to your awesome suggestion of SPV clients, I have been able to locate a few solutions that would allow me to quickly begin using Bytecoin.

Solution 1:  Bytecoin has it's own Web-based wallet.  I saw this when I first visited their website, but I don't know...  I didn't really give it much thought when I saw it the first time, and even still, I'm not giving it much consideration because I don't have much control over where the funds are, if they are on their webhost.  I'd rather have the downloaded wallet on my laptop, with backups in various places (all under my control).

Solution 2:  It seems there's a website that offers wallet solutions for various cryptocurrencies, called freewallet.org.  They offer both web and mobile wallet solutions, and while my interest has taken notice to their mobile wallets, it's still not quite the same as having it on my laptop, ftp server, and thumbdrives, with easy access.

I'll keep searching, but again, I do appreciate your assistance.

Thanks for your help.  I am not yet familiar with the rules of the forum and didn't want it to seem like I'm promoting a certain coin over any others, so I did intentionally refrain from mentioning the name of the coin.  Because it seems it would be okay (I don't want people to assume some other coin), it is Bytecoin.  My wallet for Bytecoin is dragging along, with regards to the synchronization, and it's becoming a burden for me, as someone that's very interested in immersing myself into this environment.  My biggest gripe is how such complications would make the casually-interested people feel.  How can we expect people, long term, to adopt cryptocurrency over fiat, when one is unable to even synchronize their wallet?  At this point, I really don't know what to do.  I've googled all the Remote Daemon IPs/Hosts:Port that I could find, and none seem to be working.

I have downloaded a desktop wallet, however, I'm either finding myself to be "Disconnected" or only showing 1, 2, ..., or 5 Peers, which makes for a VERY SLOW synchronization experience and very off-putting for someone entering into this Cryptocurrency arena.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to locate Remote Daemons to connect to, for their coin of choice?  I've been synchronizing for over a week and am only halfway finished with the sync.  Mind you, it's taken the last 2 1/2 days to go from 7XX,XXX/1,6XX,XXX to 9XX,XXX/1,6XX,XXX and today, it's going even slower!  If anyone can help out with this situation, please do not be shy.  I need help with this.

Thank you.
