[BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread

[movellan]

No luck on that one. Send me another and then also the next couple of times it changes. I may be able to specify a IP range if the address are close enough to each other.

If you can get your node running, PM your IP address and I'll try and connect.  If you don't mind making your IP public, you can post it her and perhaps others can connect also. LMK. If you don't have the Windows wallet setup, I can supply a clean copy. Shouldn't take long to DL the entire blockchain.

Hi ya,

I'm trying to reconstruct my transactions from years ago.  Tax reasons. 
There's a lot, and many exchanges are now defunct and so with it my trade records.

I have an old bytecoin BTE wallet, and have compiled the bytecoin daemon, but unable to download the blockchain as there is currently no peers. Can anyone help with this?

My ip is currently 86.160.129.103 but my ISP changes it regularly, so it may of changed by the time you read this.
I have a DDNS address setup at dns1.ddns.net which should still point to me if my ISP changes it.

I have my node running and listening on port 6333 and have opened up the port in my firewall.

Hope you can connect.

OK, it's connected now. As per previous message keep me abreast of your IP changes until I can get a working IP range going.

Got the blockchain now  Thank you very much indeed.
That helps me plenty, as I can now see I sent BTE coins to (probably) an exchange in early May 2013, presumably I exchanged for BTC I'm guessing. I can now fill in a blank space on my transactions.

There's plenty more missing gaps though. Don't suppose you've got the blockchains for Fairbrix and Tenebrix as well? Leaked transaction trade dumps of btc-e.com and cryptsy.com would be a life saver, but I can't find those anyway on the web. So wished I'd exported my trade data before the sites went down.

Anyway, once again thank you very much.

I have Tenebrix mining and up to the latest block . What files do you need?

Also, I'm successfully syncing BTE blocks! Thanks for the nodes guys.

What is the goal here with Bytecoin?

If anyone wants to donate me my first BTE I have TBX to share - 607,000+ TBX total haha.

[movellan]

How about sharing the nodes?

[dbkeys]

It does not say anywhere who created this coin and why. Also how much preminning happened with this coin?

Check here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=164569.0

Bytecoin was launched with no pre-mining, but almost immediately a guy who goes by Ahmed Bodi from BC, Canada (I think) pointed a big ASIC at the coin. He and his gang scarfed over 100,000 BTE during the first year from startup. He would mine until the difficulty went up, wait till it dropped at the next recalc, mine again and so on. He did this at least half a dozen times, but then seemed to lose interest.

We have had several posters on this thread recently that I suspect are Bodi or one of his associates posing as newbies under different handles.

Difficulty is now down to 264k, so now is a good time to start mining.

This coin evidently needs a hardfork to a more responsive diffalgo (like Dark Gravity Wave, etc.)

Tried to compile a node, but the code is quite obsolete ... lots of errors related to new SSL library / BIGNUM.

I did set up a node tracker / DNS seeder for fun, with the few IP's I found on the thread;
 but so far it has not found any novel nodes, it just gives back the hard coded IP from this thread:

Code:

dbkeys@home ~ % dig bte.chainetics.com
;; ANSWER SECTION:
bte.chainetics.com.	3420	IN	A	86.160.129.103

Do you have a list of good, valid nodes I can prime the tracker/seeder with ?

These are the IP's the tracker/seeder is primed with right now ( I removed the IP you said is invalid ):

Code:

 // At least one valid seed ip address is required to begin crawling the network
 seed_1="164.68.101.222"         // https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169559.680
 seed_2="172.31.47.236"
 seed_3="86.131.40.79"

Once it latches on to the P2P network, the Node Tracker / DNS Seeder will maintain a real-time list of good nodes which accept connections.

These are the blockchain parameters programmed into the node tracker:

 

Code:

 

//  BlockChain parameters and Protocol version numbers
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/
blockchain_name="Bytecoin"      //
ticker="BTE"
protocol_version="70001"        // --- Typically, these are found ( protocol version,init_proto_version, etc)  in the coin's version.h file
init_proto_version="209"        //
min_peer_proto_version="209"    //        Leave blank or set to the same value as protocol_version if not applicable in your blockchain
caddr_time_version="31402"      //
pchMessageStart_0 = "0x0b"      // --- Typically you can find the 4 pchMessageStart values in your coin's main.cpp or chainparams.cpp file
pchMessageStart_1 = "0x22"      //      ByteCoin: main.cpp pchMessageStart[0]..[3]
pchMessageStart_2 = "0x03"      //
pchMessageStart_3 = "0x14"      //
wallet_port="6333"              // P2P port: The coin servers's main port
block_count="64754"             // A node cannot be considered "good" unless it has a block height greater or equal to this value.
host="bte.chainetics.com"       // -h parameter : subdomain to query

86.131.40.79 looks good and connects as a peer.

188.213.34.67 also appears to connect as a peer.


I cannot connect to 172.31.47.236 or 164.68.101.222.

It still can't find good nodes ...
I wonder if the chain parameters I'm using are correct.
There seem to be two bytecoins out there at least; where is the latest code for this blockchain?

188.213.34.67 no longer connects.

"Two bytecoins". Two possibilities here.

1) Pre-mined shitcoin calling itself "bytecoin". Usually differentiated  as "BCN" versus "BTE", the real Bytecoin.

2) Ahmed Bodi tried to fork BTE. I've never seen any evidence that he succeeded.

What "latest code" are you looking for?

Looking for the source code to BTE the "real" Bytecoin. In other words, the reference implementation, or any "correct" implementation.

[movellan]

Bryan Mills' original implementation is here,

https://github.com/bryan-mills/bytecoin


Ahmed Bodi's attempted fork is here,

https://github.com/ahmedbodi/bytecoin


Not sure if this fork was ever attempted/implemented.

[movellan]

Hey Prof, are you mining again?

[movellan]

Ran my Bytecoin 0.8.1.0 client this morning and received an "Alert key compromised, upgrade required" error message.  Anyone know what this is about? TIA.
