[BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012

[matej krkic]

Tens of thousands of people in original community. LOL 

Difficulty is 16mil now. It's for about 133 KHashes/sec. Average cpu gives 5-10 H/sec. So, about 13-26 thousands of machines. Am I wrong?

Average CPU is actually about 20 H/s. It was 10 H/s before the recent optimization in slow_hash.c. That puts it at ~6000 CPUs (which corresponds to probably less than 2000 miners)

Difficulty was ~50-100k from July 2012 - January 2014, so 80% of the coins are not distributed among a "5-digit number" user base. More like 100 (simple math of diff to hashrate to number of PCs).

Hmm.. Missed the optimization, thanks.

50k difficulty = 416 hash rate = 20 PCs at 20 H/s or 40 PCs at 20 H/s. Not even 100.

20 H/s  ? BEFORE optimization? It's not average computer, man =))

What if not using optimization for mining BCN was planned to prevent unfair distribution? Like "using optimized miner is a sign of having no manners". You know it was sorta easy for you to make optimization, so I don't think they had problems with it too. Meanwhile they didn't have it at GitHub from beginning

Congrats, spokesperson 

Any plans then apart from posting the screenshots? I'd like to see the devs in this thread. Can you ask them to speak out here finally?

I want to make special BCN community web site at first. So if there are people who want to help me let's cooperate!

What do you need for the website? Would be glad to give a hand.

Some Q:

Is there same exaples how can I make bytecoin.conf with my arg?

Can I mine from 2 or more computers on one wallet ? (something like my own pool)

Congrats Dstrange on spokesperson status. I left comment on Bittrex Twitter , hopefully they add Bytecoin to exchange.
BTW there are many messages in the blockchain, one can check them out, using any viewer and searching for a word. Some of them i found:

d.S.-centric, for various reasons
  - most on list are in U.S., and I am in U.S.
  - NSA and crypto c


dlikely to influence overseas law
+ We are at a fork in the road,  a Great Divide
  - Surveillance vs

- Cypherpunks are a bright group. A lot of clever things
         have been said

ETC.

The "optimizations" are fairly absurd. They are better described as de-un-optimizations. The straightforward implementation of the algorithm is the optimized one, not the other way around. You'd have to go out of your way to make it as slow as it was. Several highly qualified people have commented along these lines already (ignore me, I don't know what I'm talking about).

If we look at the latest round of de-un-optimizations, most of the history of the bytecoin premine comes down to just 4-8 PCs. Or a somewhat larger number over a shorter period of time. Really, that's all.

How can you write a msg on blockchain ?

[fr0wn3r]

So can anyone tell me how to transfer mined BCN to wallet?

I was mining at minergate.com using the client and mined some sum. Before that I have downloaded bytecoind.exe (daemon) and simplewallet.exe. Placed the blockchain where I should, updated the daemon, then created the wallet file with pass and refreshed the wallet went to minergate.com clicked at withdrawal link and sent 19 coins to my address. It was 16 hours ago and opening the wallet now after new sync of daemon and wallet and typing balance I have 0 coins...

Did you type "refresh" in the wallet?

[fr0wn3r]

Yup. Multiple times while the daemon was working in the background and syncing...

EDIT: In the meantime I saw minergate thread and there are some withdrawal problems...
EDIT 2: Received the trial withdrawal.

Is mining useless for me at this point? how many coins per day can I make with a Q6600 and a laptop with an i5?

Seems you have better to mine in pool (minergate.com)

[DStrange]

I also want to thank you for supporting giveaway! 250,000 BCN received today.

No way im opening closed source programs. Call me when they make it public.
