[BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread

[Number6]

Due to the continuing interest in Bytecoin (BTE), I thought I would start a thread consolidating useful information and links related to the new Cryptocurrency.

Please post here if you have any links I missed or suggestions.

[HOWTO] Setup a p2pool for Bytecoin by blastbob

Added a fix for p2pool Bytecoin until its gets hardcoded into the main tree. Fix makes sure your local p2pool find other pools instead of being alone in the dark.

And another pool: http://radon.gdries.nl:6327/static/

Thanks, added both pools.

Updated with rough exchange rate information.

[BitHits]

Thanks for adding our faucet. I've added the other faucet to the site/rotation.

We need more BTE Sites!

Also this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168538.0 (all binaries+source all os for BTE Clients)

Also now paying 10 uBTE per submit

[str4wm4n]

so wait, is the cap 81 million or 21 million?

[twelph]

so wait, is the cap 81 million or 21 million?

21 Million. Same as Bitcoin.

[BitHits]

so wait, is the cap 81 million or 21 million?

21 Million. Same as Bitcoin.

I've seen various places say it's 81 million. Do you have a source? Or.. Can you point me to the line in the source code that specifies this, that would pretty much settle the matter

Yea I'm looking for some proof!

Added the client mirror list and gave you credit for that section BitHits. If that is not ok I can remove it and simply link to your post.

Yes the more people with the client list the better

Also can you update the faucet list to reflect 10 uBTE // 0.00001 BTE for www.ByteHits.info

[Anon136]

thanks so much! its just to hold us over until get a real exchange.

You're Welcome! Thanks for the update to the list.

been checking out the diff in those two files. Most relate to the genesis block and the BIP30 03/22 check

thanks for doing this! the more people do this the more it helps to put my mind at ease

[BitHits]

One thing I'd like to see... If ByteCoin is ... 100% identical to BitCoin ... Why isnt it mining and processing BTC/BitCoins .. Where is the source difference that specifies ... to be a new blockchain ?

[saigo]

See this re source - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169236.msg1760297;topicseen#msg1760297

If you look through my diff, you can see that they swapped bitcoin for bytecoin everywhere in the code

And I think this is where its a different blockchain ( genesis block ) :
