BipCoin, CryptoNote with Fast, Solid Transactions + profitable to mine

[JabirJac]

Reading this... I'm a bit dissapointed
https://bipcoin.org/?p=2216
What will be the future of this coin? Another pnd ?

Future of the coin is a solid coin that's fun. And secure and anonymous.

do not be ridiculous over this ..it is just a matter of luck and a talk of hard work.

CRITICAL UPDATE FOR BipCoin SOFTWARE.

HERE'S FIX:

Updated security fix to deal with problem posted about by Monero.

Pool owners and people running nodes should update immediately.

Please swap out now. FIRST, BACKUP
.address
and
.wallet
files before update.

WINDOWS BINARY with critical update, 13.8 megs. MD5:8c2f89a8a87279fc5aae639c236912d0
https://bipcoin.org/DROPS/fix/Win004CliWithFix.rar

LINUX BINARY:
Compile from:
https://github.com/BEASTLICK-INTERNET-POLICY-COMMISSION/bipcoin


UPDATED CODE:
https://github.com/BEASTLICK-INTERNET-POLICY-COMMISSION/bipcoin

We have scanned blockchain, there is NO double spending. (security problem was NOT exploited, no new coins were made, and we're not out of consensus, despite what another post says. And that page has all the marks of a phishing scam.)

Glad to see you act so fast but really all the fuss for 9 active miners contributing less than 1KH/s hash, finding 1 block a day of 8 coins seems a bit over kill.
Most of the pools are dead. Rented hash attack did more damage to cryptonight coins that the so called bug.

346.66 KH/sec total network now and for a long time.

My theory is it's an attack from a government or rival coin. I think they're spending way more money on rented hash, for a long time, then they stand to make from coin. I think XCI has the same issue.

It's not real hashrate. See how many blocks are found daily for the whole network, not just the pool. A very small number for a 3 min block coin.
I still have a small miner on the pool occasionally. When a block is found, it takes days for the coins to confirm

Is it possible that is why the price went down ? At one stage it was 1500 satoshi per bip. It is still profitable to mine and a good coin. One of the better coins for sure. Also you around most of the time I appreciate that.please keep it up.

And... as if by a miracle, difficulty is normal again!
Lets hope it stays that way

I kicked the blockchain really hard. Fixed it.

For those who don't want to compile their own updated Linux CLI with the critical fix, here:

Save your .address and .wallet files before you update. Then copy those into the new folder.

Then open simplewallet and type 'reset'. It will take some time to resync the wallet after.

thank you slb!

p.s. The old simplewallet/walletd does not work with the new forknoted by the way. People must use both new binaries

Hello People.

I just updated my pool.
http://bip.cryptonotepool.com

Why is the pool not paying any more?
Last payment I see in the list is 21/5

I have accumulated a balance of 32 bip there.
Automatic payment is at 5 right?
