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.

Is this using the forked merge-mining Bytecoin, or the original?

[ahmed_bodi]

Original we havent forked  it yet

[Anon136]

Original we havent forked  it yet

be sure to send me a pm when you do.

[Walter Rothbard]

I'm still not happy at the prospect of a blockchain fork.  To me that takes away from what Bytecoin is.  I see several others have expressed similar feelings on other threads about the subject.

But I guess if people don't put their hashing power where their mouth is, they don't get a say.   I hold no ill will toward anyone who sees a different way forward.  My preference would've been that you leave Bytecoin alone and create another "just like Bitcoin, but merge-mined" coin from the beginning instead.

i say keep it the same...

The fork IS a vote. You can vote with your hashrate when the time comes.

Totally agree.

Somebody is throwing some massive hashing power at Bytecoin today:

so i'm a little confused ~ whats going on with the mining fork/no fork??
 many thanks! 

[ProfMac]

Does a Ubuntu 12.04 binary exist?

[ahmed_bodi]

how come BTE is not showing up on coinwarz.com?

i asked for it to be removed for 1 purpose. to keep the diff and the hype low.

now comes the why?

many people are complaining about the merged mining fork saying the little people will be left without. i understood that the high diff was causing problems so i got it removed. now where's all the miners who were complaining about the fork? i dont see very much network hashrate either. so? are these people just vocal with their mouths but not with their hashrate?

In the past 24 hours, 2013-11-06 02:17:19 to 2013-11-07 02:30:50, there have been 274 blocks mined.

I do have the eloipool software working under Ubuntu 12-04 with bitcoin.  I need a Ubuntu Bytecoin client now.  Is there a binary anywhere?

[cshelswell]

Hey if you head on over to http://www.bytecoin.biz you should find all the links you need

[Walter Rothbard]

That's not what I've been saying - can't speak for anybody else.  What I've been saying is that Bytecoin is a second blockchain with the same properties as the Bitcoin blockchain, and merge-mining changes all that - if people want a merge-mined coin that is otherwise under the same rules as Bitcoin, I think that's a great idea - for starting a new coin, not modifying this existing one.
