[XBN] Bitnote: the secure, private, untraceable CryptoNote based Cryptocurrency

[JohnAGoodBoy]

ANNOUNCEMENT: Upcoming Bitnote blockchain hardfork: see details below.

Confirmed Features:

• Hashing Algorithm Upgrade: Bitnote will be using our own custom CryptoNight based algorithm "CryptoNight Dark", this new algorithm is much more ASIC, botnet, rented hashrate... resistant than the traditional CryptoNight algorithm, it features an upgraded 4 mb scratch pad. (See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/5xfy06/why_the_asic_resistant_cryptonight_in_monero_is and https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight)
• Dynamic Fees: Bitnote will be using another of our own custom algorithms that will dynamically scale to blockchain growth (Don't worry we won't pull a Bitcoin ).
• Minimum Transaction Mixin Count: Bitnote will use a preset minimal transaction mixin value of 3, for increased security. (See: http://hackingdistributed.com/2017/04/19/monero-linkability/)

Features In Debate:

• Ring Confidential Transactions (See: https://getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ringCT.html).
• Smart Contracts (See: https://blog.zeppelin.solutions/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-smart-contracts-in-ethereum-848f08001f05).

These features will be "activated" within the next hardfork, launch date is yet to be announced... More info regarding that is coming soon.

you will add masternodes too? what about discord group

i want to compile wallet in debian, what i'm doing wrong

we really need a new pool
not a huge fan of the current (and only) pool

I second a discord group, would be very helpful for creating community!

How about Windows wallet, I want to join mining but I am not mortal plebster who cannot do Linux that well.

what's wrong with pool?

I tried to compile under windows but a lot of errors  is sad that dev don't care about it.

achievements. you need this.

what's wrong with pool?

any reason why you comment out open source credits at the bottom and profit calculator

also, more pools are needed for true decentralization

[sondysIT]

footer (credits) is too big on my mobile phone so I hide it   Are You a Cop?  
profit calculator dont work and I dont know why, so I hide it too  

I agree that more pool is needed, decentralization is important!!

To be honest, I dont want have pool for this coin, because devs still do nothing and I dont like it more and more.
But until there will be another pool I will (probably) not shutdown it.

[whatsthepoint]

i don't have windows so I can't compile ...

it can't be that hard, though ?

[cabot364]

I am mining this coin because I was able to get in early with a linux wallet. But I don't know much about it. Those of you who are mining it, why are you mining it? Do any of us know where it's headed? Will there be a discord? Going to exchanges? Are there masternodes?

from reddit

Question : I'm all for Cryptonote forks, love the algo and the principle behind these types of currencies however the premined amount for BitNote is huge (~8.3%). Can you address this and why this isn't a get rich quick scheme for the devs?

Answer : Ah yes. This is understandable. We premined this amount because, we intend to launch on several exchanges such as, TradeSatoshi, BTC-Alpha, TradeOgre and many more... The listing fees for most of these well known trading websites can vary, from 1.5 Bitcoin up to 15 Bitcoin. This can get very expensive to keep up with, we are also shifting a percentage of the funds towards things like, seed nodes, website domains, vps hosting etc... to run Bitnote and efficiently. To sum things up, it’s very expensive to run a successful Cryptocurrency these days... And some sort of premine will benefit the coin in the end. With that being said, there will also be bounty rewards for different tasks completed by members of the community.

Interesting with the planned update of the PoW algorithm! Shouldn't it be called CryptoNight Heavy/Hard/Tough though? ("Light" in "CryptoNight Light" refers to light as in easy, not as in high illumination.)

The XBN I am mining right now, it will be transferred over after the fork yes?

[Anon12951]

Can anyone make wallet for Windows?

[cabot364]

ybelevi I had this error compiling in Ubuntu 17. I fixed it by remedying the "All warnings being treated as errors".

What you need to do is clone the github. Go into your bitnote directory and grep search for "Werror *"

it will show up in 2 or 3 files. You then need to VI into those files (I believe they are all cmaker files) and DELETE any place you see Werror.  Save those files, recompile...it will throw the warnings but not stop compilation. In the end, the wallet works. I have been mining since last night and receiving payments.

There's no windows wallet? This is not a fair launch.
You need to provide Windows/Linux and Mac wallets before launch...
We want to mine some coins but can't...

[cabot364]

Ubuntu is free. You can run a virtual box (also free) with ubuntu on your windows system and install the linux wallet to use in the meantime. I know it's not ideal but it would let you get in the game.

yes because it is a hard fork all mined blocks will remain the same so your wallet wont be affected unless you mine on the old chain after hard fork happen
