[BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread

[Rias]

Can someone explain me as to why this coin is still of any interest?

It has historical value to some.

There is also the trademark / servicemark "first use in commerce" issue. Dashcoin (DSH) had quite a run earlier this year just because of trademark disputes regarding the re branding of Darkcoin to Dash. If a later coin with a much higher capitalization is using or wants to use the same name then the original coin can become very valuable.

I'm holding some BCN that I've mined. Back then when I was mining I didn't want to sell them... hell now they are at a very low price and i won't get nada for them. Do you think we can see the price go back up???

Wrong thread. This thread is about BCE, the original Bytecoin, not BCN.

This is BTE, the original 1:1 Bitcoin clone (Bytecoin). Indeed, it has nostalgic value to some.

I am curious: At which point in Bitcoin's history does the 1:1 clone apply? Is this clone been actively maintained? If Bitcoin forks, core vs XP/BIP101, which fork would BTE go with?  The relvance of this coin given what is currently happening with Bitcoin may turn out to be a lot more than just historical interest or trademark disputes.

The repo is here: https://github.com/bryan-mills/bytecoin

Looks like it was forked from Bitcoin as of April 1, 2013, and no Bitcoin commits from after that were ever merged.

No development at all. That doesnt matter.

It may. There have been forking bugs and other DoS attacks in Bitcoin. If those aren't fixed in Bytecoin, it can easily be attacked.

[mrbodz]

bytecoin would likely go the bitcoin core way. when i wanted to update bytecoin to fix 1/2 the bugs and atleast make it atleast usable everyone was completely against it, so seeing as i was the only dev willing to work on it, i dropped it.

BTE is going to crash I would sell ALL of your coins if I was you.

CRA ???SH!

Hi,
There is an opportunity to support Bytecoin (it was forged by the Monero and AEON forks, etc.) It is necessary to sign a petition, which is very easy, and together we will be able to get the "Father" of the CryptoNight algorithm (Note) able to rise in price as it made AEON and MONERO. Due to it BCN will get on Bithumb (Korean exchange), and it is possible that it will rise in price, like AEON recently. Also you can participate in the coin discussion (https://t.me/bytecoinchat, https: // t.me/bytecoinru), go to the site (Bytecoin.org) and see the prospects, buy or sell, as well as start the mine. And it is very fast and easy to go (minergate.com). Nach Now build a future. Your Bytecoin. Will you sign it?

Thank you,

Hi folks - anyone know if the BTE blockchain still lives somewhere? I have an old, likely really old bytecoin wallet and although it's not worth anything I'm curious to check what was on it.

[Wekkel]

Last time I looked it was very quiet in terms of nodes. And I somehow lost my wallet more than a year ago already.

[cshelswell]

I still have my wallet and the source code. It would be interesting to get it up and running. If I can find some time I might try and get a linux machine up and see if I can get it working

My node has pretty good uptime.  The last block that I know of is Sep 3, 2016 #58114
I propose to use this address as a seed node.

The DNS name is seed.bte.vima.austin.tx.us

--- edit ---
if you want to run a node as a seed node, let me know and I will add it to the DNS lookup for seed.bte.vima.austin.tx.us

I have a somewhat automated environment that builds a VirtualBox, then downloads and compiles a Linux version of the client.  I have made some patches that address the strip-mining problem.  I would like some help to build a windows client.  I have built in the current bitcoin build environment using Debian, but I want something with better documentation.

Yes a Windows client would certainly help a lot of people. I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge of coding that kind of thing.

Does your automated process use something like Vagrant?

I'm pretty old school:  I do things from fundamentals.  I make a VirtualBox by a script, install Ubuntu from a standard public image, download the git repository, apply my patches, do a build from my own scripts.  If there were coherent public build scripts that I comprehended I would change my process to use them.

Before I would use Vagrant, I would dissect what it did.  There is a standard make process in the current Bitcoin group (Gentian?) and I did get it to work once, but in a badly limping way, and it does not work way back on Bitcoin 8.9 or so, the thing bytecoin first branched from.  I have lots of trouble getting non condescending answers to various questions from the developers, and I spent equal amounts of time rolling my own process and trying to understand the accepted build process, and I got my process working first.

Eventually I will make all of my project available on github, but I wanted to be sure that my installation of eloipool wasn't going to embarrass me.  I haven't decided whether I will release stuff when I only have a Linux version working, or if I will wait until I also have Windows and Android working.

I am willing to put the Linux client binary on my webpage immediately, but I suspect that a binary without source would be met with suspicion.

There are some items at https://github.com/a-mcintosh right now, but they are work in progress.
