[BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread

You got it!! Thanks again

How about posting your node IP so the rest of us can connect?

Just a tip for the person mining lots of coins to the same address at the moment.
You need to regularly consolidate those coins to another address once matured.
The reason behind this is because trying to send coins from an address with hundreds/thousands of inputs will inevitably be too large a transaction size to send.

That's really good to know great info. What other things can be done to improve this coins usability and wide spread?

I think the most important thing is security of the blockchain. Without that, the coin is worthless.
Network hashrate is only about 80GH/s. It would be trivial at the moment to 51% attack the chain.

We need more consistent decentralized hashrate. Don't be surprised if someone blasts the coin's diff into orbit, then abandons it, leaving the chain stuck.

I have to agree with you on that. Lets keep the chain safe

Diff adjusted recently

You cannot mine directly to a bytecoin core node, so I have set up a public solo mining pool for easier mining.
There is currently three running, each with different starting diffs:

Diff         1:       stratum+tcp://bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3001
Diff   1000:       stratum+tcp://bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3004
Diff 10000:       stratum+tcp://bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3005

Set your username to your bytecoin address with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
eg:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3004 -u bytec1q9ny3xycmfrfev2xquun64sunvvh2zlx2gn63xz.0 -p x

If you enter an invalid address you will be rejected.
2% fee for using the pool which is sent to bytec1q9ny3xycmfrfev2xquun64sunvvh2zlx2gn63xz

Remember this is a solo mining, so you only get a reward if you're the one to find a valid block.
Difficulty is currently at 7790.512516801227 which is really low. 55.77GH/s gives an average 10 minute block time.

Could not get CGMiner to work with my old mining hardware, but now have it working with BFGMiner running at about 18 GH on your
"bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3001" pool. Can you check and see if everything looks OK? TIA

Yes, working fine.
With 18 GH/s you should find a block every 38 minutes on average.

Thanks for checking. Blocks are being mined at about the rate you gave.

Still am only connecting to 2 peers. Any way to get more connections? Must be more people using your build by now.

Don't think so, very quiet.

Might be an idea to post new build and pool info somewhere on Reddit. Seems like many are jumping on any new coin that shows  promise.

What's up? Pool not working.

[cpu6502]

Not sure what happened there, the process crashed. It working again now. I'll have to check the logs.

Yeah I'm pretty busy at the moment.
Elderly parents are such a worry and time consuming.

Know what you mean. I'm one of them. Don't like being a pain to my kids.

Good on you for honoring them.
