Bytecoin Wallet (GUI)

[heyhey-u]

Are there any other skins? The light version if ok but I'd like to get the 8bit edition 

i was wondering where the skins are too. but then i checked bytecoin roadmap once again. skins will be released later. btw bytecoin wallet looks beautiful now. i'm not sure i want other versions.

Very nice work and I like the first BCN wallet.

Maybe there is space for some improvements:
To the current one: window Transaction details - in the right corner is Question mark, I would expect it will be like a help with explanation of different boxes in the window but you will see only icon of prohibition sign

Will be there possibility to add more own address and manage them from one wallet?

Is this new wallet open source because I never download crypto-related binaries, and most serious crypto investors are the same. It's much too dangerous.

Bytecoin Wallet is currently in open beta. We're still cleaning up the code and basically await your feedback to finalize the Wallet, before we release the sources.
In case you are concerned with this issue, you may continue to use Bytecoin with simplewallet. In any case I would appreciate if you gave Bytecoin Wallet a test drive.

I will stick with simplewallet for now.

I noticed that some of the issues (improper display of spends) with simplewallet were recently cleaned up. FYI, there is still a crash if simplewallet is used on a old wallet without deleting the .dat file.

Thank you for the report. We'll have a look.

Everything is ok.

My PC froze twice because of your GUI!!!

Get more RAM, and more diskspace. CN isn't as lean as Bitcoin (if BTC blockchain still gets called like that)

I encountered such an effect.
As a matter of fact GUI doens't consume too much. But during full synchronization it can.

Just close it (normally, don't kill) and restart. You can do this even in the middle of synch - it will significantly reduce memory requirements.

Damn I didin't think of that, thx. I guess I need another 2Gb.
Thanks, man!

I think you need 850-1200MB of RAM for the wallet. First run or wallet takes the highest number 1200MB.

hey, is there any possibility to mine just right from the bytecoin wallet?
i don't see this function in the wallet, but i want it to be there. bytecoin gui miner would be so damn cool  
if there is no mining feature in the bytecoin wallet now, bcn devs, do you plan to add it in the future? i think it is very very good to have "start mining now!" button in the wallet near the balance dashboard.

well yeah, GUI miner sounds great, but I'm against shoving it inside the wallet, that would be too much. The wallet looks elegant and easy now, but throwing the miner inside of it.. erm, that'd be overkill IMHO.

This is great!

Downloaded wallet, ran once.
Downloaded blockchain files and shoved in my appdata>roaming>bytecoin folder.

Ran again - took a couple of minutes to sync.

Got my free Bytecoin from the bytecoin site. It appeared in locked instantly and then unlocked in a couple of minutes!

Well done! Great work!

btw - what files exactly do I need to backup on the new wallet?

Edit: Silly Jimbo - just noticed the 'backup' option under file - so it just backs up the .wallet file.

Next silly question! Does this file store the address book as well?

[Ullo]

Hi Jimbo, the address book is stored separately. In the next releases we're going to significantly improve its security.

Nice work.

Even though I am not a fan of Bytecoin, this wallet looks really cool, so congrats on getting it out.

LOL, on the main Bytecoin thread all you scream is this coin is a  scam, and in here you sound like an interested supporter ...... its obvious that your only interested if the wallet is open source... aren't you one of the XMR dev ?

I am part of the Monero Core team. I also have mined BCN on various occasions and I still have some. I won't use anything for any crypto that is not open source though and that has nothing to do with BCN or XMR.

Bytecoin Wallet has been updated with minor improvements.
