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 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. Great work. It's certainly a coin that has an interesting history behind it. I think I still have the website I made for it somewhere Way back in the early Bitcoin days!

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.
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 [2001:470:b8ac::2013:401] 67.198.113.220 --- 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 tried adding to bytecoin.conf but still getting 0 active connections. Any ideas?

I heard some people talk about a windows installer for the BTE wallet. I had it made by Shakezula (one of the first devs of BTE) in 2013. Maybe Cschelswell still has it? I'm sure it's somewhere on an older PC I have. If there is interest, I will try and find it.

Can you post it here to try it out?

I believe I have the linux binaries. I'll make a note to bitbucket what I have and post a link up here. It'd be pretty epic if we managed to resurrect this coin

In the event that I mine BTE block 58115, I might pay some to a previous miner. You can submit a previously mined address for consideration at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZA9a38yBlsQaN5HjaPo5idegVO85m-RqCoFuGTWNjXo--- clarification 2017-12-20 --- For example, one of the submissions begins 8Qmq. This address does not show up in my database of coinbase transactions. Again, any submissions should be for addresses that have previously been paid by mining, e.g., the transaction is in transaction 0 of the block. I have height | address | earnings | 7189 | 8QmQTRcwoq6PFw2Qm3pAXdrXMegPDzzQ97 | 50.00000000 | 8438 | 8QmQ6nfi6uHRKF05ayyFrJZK4hq2KNY14n | 50.00000000 |

Didn't a hacker exploit bytecoin codebase and created a few million bytecoin out of thin air what happened to that?

Really?? I think you're right because that would explain why the coin is dead

I am running a full node and successfully connected to that IP profMac. Thanks again!

here are 2 nodes running.
Inside your bytecoin.conf file add:
addnode=54.164.87.61:6333 addnode=52.90.106.245:6333
