[ANN] Bytecoin|BTE| Official Re-Launch of this 1:1 Bitcoin Coin!

[haightst]

I mined some blocks in the 24192 - 26208 epoch.  The difficulty was 14202.  I miscalculated, and thought the block rate was 10 blocks / hour (6 min each) rather than 6 blocks / hour (10 min each) and as a result I mined a little too fast and the difficulty rose to 20975.

I have cut back the GH/s that I am sending to BTE.  For the past 24 hours, the mining rate has been about 2.5 blocks / hour.  This will cause the chain to stay relatively updated, and the difficulty should drop.  If anyone flash mines faster after 14 days, the difficulty will still drop.  A few people dropped in with huge hash rates and mined a few blocks during the past week, then left again.

I will try to strike a balance of gaining coins & keeping the difficulty low.

I would like to have software that will work with the cgminer API, perhaps in Python, and send lots of hashpower when there is a transaction to process, and then wait for a timeout to send more hashpower.

thank you!~i'm buying all I can off the exchanges while this gem is still wayyyy undervalued imho!=) buy/mine+hold type coin!!  

I am selling.  I set my price by the difficulty ratio.

ok well dump to 420 i will scoop them up! LOL     get it? hahaaa

Yes, there has been a large amount of volume for BTE on the exchanges in the past week. It is still a great bargain.

Has the client every been updated yet, any news on merged mining

[ProfMac]

Has the client every been updated yet, any news on merged mining

I am using the original client with success.  This is not merge mined.
There is a stratum pool available, at stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9022  This pool requires you to register and to use a worker name/password.
I have pointed a portion of an Avalon toward the pool.  The three day average since the last difficulty change gives 3.48 blocks / hour with an expected difficulty drop in 20 days.
I will try to keep my hashrate low enough that the difficulty drops, but the long range forecast is that Avalon owners will move to BTE as their net earnings fall to their electricity cost.  I may switch my strategy as things evolve.

Is something wrong whit the Bytecoin explorer?
It stuck @ block 26774.

bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com resolves to 84.200.4.218
I see connections to that address in my debug.log, and I see block numbers that are more recent.

Bytecoin still goin strong

Are there any new nodes available?  I can't seem to get more than one node connected from the list provided.

[ahmed_bodi]

U added bte.crypto-expert.com as one?

[sunsofdust]

U added bte.crypto-expert.com as one?

Just added.  Thanks! 

Now if I could only get at least 6 more for a total of 8. 

[ahmed_bodi]

Try adding cryptopools.com  and cryptobytes.info as a node I'll bring them online tomorrow

Do the Chinese have a Alt Coin exchange? That could be a lot of demand for ByteCoins if they open one!

[AltExchCoin]

I agree, guys lets get this on a Chinese exchange, BTER is a good exchange, they are pretty robust, how do we get that done? I'm here to help.

Also, do you want me to work on a Chinese translation, think it should be pretty easy. ahmed_bodi would you upload for us if I translate the website?

[cshelswell]

Hey I actually deal with the website - if you do a chinese translation I'd be happy to make a chinese version of the site. Drop me an email if you want: chris@hireahenchman.co.nz

I do have all nodes I could find but my wallet cant find any connection and do not sync.
Anyone who can help?

Here is what I do have:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
addnode=109.40.79.215
addnode=142.134.141.57
addnode=78.158.7.238
addnode=84.200.17.243
addnode=115.78.132.156
addnode=59.156.160.196

addnode=59.156.160.196
addnode=5.64.127.174

[cshelswell]

hey give the conf file off the website a go:

Code:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=9999
addnode=188.165.19.11:6333
addnode=24.172.89.154:6333
addnode=75.156.209.173:6333
addnode=65.19.151.2:6333
addnode=75.133.149.21:6333
addnode=84.240.60.149:6333
addnode=67.184.53.170:6333
addnode=85.17.227.176:6333
addnode=84.200.84.74:6333
addnode=192.241.138.42:6333
server=1
listen=1

Or if you're a windows user just download the installer off the site. I believe that sets everything up for you

Trying to point a block erupter cube at any pool for this. Not having any luck with the mining proxy. Any guesses?

Are you asking for technical help to configure the erupter, or asking for a pool address?

[jpreston86]

Technical help setting the erupter cube up for BTE. I have Slush's proxy setup and working fine with BTCGuild, but I aws unable to get the proxy to work with any of the pools for BTE.
