Back when this coin was launched Ahmed Bodi (going here with username mrbodz) pointed a big ASIC at BTE and striped-mined a lot coins. PM user ProfMac to get more info on efforts to prevent this . Is this coin working okay? It looks like it has possibilities except that almost half the coins are in one wallet. Most people pass on monopoly coins.

Can you prove this claim? |

Can you prove this claim? The block-chain has multiple instances when blocks were mined every few minutes when the difficulty dropped, then the hash-power was removed after an Interval (2016 blocks). I am not sure off the top of my head how quickly blocks were mined in the interval before the current one, but the chain was clearly abandoned when the difficulty increased. Beyond that, I myself don't care who the strip-miner was. |
I try to be respectful and informed.

Go to the first page of this thread and search "ahmed_bodi". You will find several messages referencing his unsuccessful attempt to fork BTE so him and his associates could pool-mine the coin faster. Furthermore when the strip-mining was going on, I was able to trace the IP address from which most of the blocks were mined to Vancouver, Canada where Ahmed Bodi is located. No proof that he definitely strip-mined BTE, but it looks very suspicious and he has never denied involvement. Why don't you PM him and ask for yourself?

I traced his IP as well and it points to Quito, Ecuador.
Can we block his IP to stop him from stripmining the coin again?

I have developed technology to prevent strip-mining. I have done most of the testing that I can do in one shop alone. I have some other tasks, such as how to release a windows client that I need to gain control over. I am not worried about strip mining. |

Not sure it will do much good as like most of us here he is probably using a VPN. I was able to trace the IP where his big ASIC was strip-mining from as most of those big units usually need an Ethernet hard line. Mining with low-hash units is much easier to do with a VPN. What were you using to trace his IP?

In other words, BTE bytecoin is fine, well, alive and growing. Just focus your good energy on something Pro Bytecoin like a better USD/BTE exchange or an open free market that only accepts BTE as payments or maybe a Pool or something.

I would also add a block explorer (the old coinplorer.com has been offline for some time). I think BTE used to be listed on BTC-E, but I never did any trading there. Do you know of any block explorer or exchange currently handling BTE? In other words, BTE bytecoin is fine, well, alive and growing.

Would you be OK with posting IP addresses for your new nodes? I'd like more connections if possible. TIA. Wlii spin up a few extra linux boxes to help support the network. Any programmers here or is it only me? |

I think ahmedbodi is a great asset to the coin and I'll contribute anyway I can. It'd be awesome to get BTE working, not because I have a stash, I don't. But because it could be an awesome alt.

If you really want to help, dl the client from one of the links I posted and get it running. Post the IP so you can connect to the rest of us. If you have a compatible miner, set it up and get mining. Any help to get BTE going again is appreciated. I think ahmedbodi is a great asset to the coin and I'll contribute anyway I can.

Yes and, we start an ICO to support such projects. Agreed? |

Why would we need an ICO for a coin that was launched five years ago?

Most people in this thread follow BTE. BCN is a different coin that used the same name, Bytecoin, as this coin. |
