upgrade and checkpoint of current source

yep exactly. 900 or so of these high diff blocks left. and that sync message should be gone too. So for bytecoin today has been quite a good day. Got the new linux wallets done, new seed nodes and checkpoints.

https://github.com/ahmedbodi/Bytecoin-MM

m0.8.1merged is the main branch. the master is outdated bitcoin code.

i dont think it will show no anymore. we've been flying through blocks today

bte.crypto-expert.com wont work its not a valid node. use stratum.crypto-expert.com to sync

releasing the source to the new client soon will get binaries asap

it was never dead. maybe to you but people have been mining it and keeping it alive. To people like you its risen from the dead.

In a side not i've compiled and created the latest client and checkpointed it. WIll be released on the official site as soon as weve updated it.

use bte.crypto-expert.com

11 blocks found so far. i will have to warn you guys that the links on dsync are likely to be outdated with the official dev repo. so that is likely to be a reason as to why everyone cannot sync. ill post a link to my repo in a minute or so

yep hashrate isnt correct

Definitly were on our third or forth block I think. At this rate well fly through these blocks and bring bytecoin back to profitability. I've had a rethink on the merged mining and changed my mind. Decided to wait for the diff derop see how the network goes and only implement merged mining if neccesary

yep it does hopefully from the responses ive seen there should be quite a bit joining the pool

edit: we found a block

thanks. its cause the web server is running on a non standard port and the submit button wants to connect to port 80 which causes the problems im working on getting hold of a second web server and using that one just as a backup incase the main gets a DDOS like last time. the hashrate stats are off imo but shouldnt be too hard to fix

EDIT: just noticed a flaw in the difficulty readings on my frontend. could you guys give me an idea on ur hashrates so i can compare them?

its back

just made some changes it will be back on soon

pool is online at bte.crypto-expert.com but it needs a slight bit more testing

yeah ive just got home now. Setting up the final touches

This is a subject which has been discussed at length in other threads and something I no longer wish to discuss. I'm going to create the client and release it with the agreement of being consistently up to date with the bitcoin base. The chain with 51% of the hash will win as expected. I will request doublc not to join until we have a consensus on the agreed fork. If the majority hash want merged mining to take place then that version will become the main chain. If the majority of people wantbytecoin to exist on the current path. Then everyone is free to do so. That is the fair way to do so

definitly. gotta go out to get something to eat for now but as soon as i get home ill be switching my copy of stratum and the BE to main net and incorporating it into the frontend

a new update got stratum working on testnet bytecoin. As a nice bonus theres vardiff too. so that will be in the pool. SO all in all we should be good to go. I'm going to keep my stratum on testnet for a while see if any bugs come up, and in the evening open the pool for the bytecoin main net.

In side news only 1k blocks left of high diff,.
