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

[x0rcist]

I would like to. I've downloaded code from githab and it behaves bad

i'm having also problems compiling the latest version on ubuntu 13.04, it halted around 70% with some lto error after running make. but bytecoind was compiled ok so only the wallet part doesnt work (not needed for mining btw)

On Ubuntu 13.11 compilation is ok, but synchronization goes 3 hours already and consumes RAM.
I hope developers are reading this thread at least.

you can try downloading the blockchain from the website, should speed up the sync process

I see. I have a blockchain already downloaded. It takes 3 hours to synchronize several weeks.
I think that there is an error in last commit because there is a lot of "connect failed" on screen.

132,000 were added to Giveaway fund by unknown donator today.

Thanks a lot, guys!

Fellows, may be one of you will start a new topic on cryptonote technology?
It seems to me you understand it well (unlike me).

[x0rcist]

More and more i think this project was only done for research and was never mentioned to be used as a "real" crypto currency. I found some shady references by a group called bitcoin of things. After some brainfarts it takes me to a future where nano technology can be used as a trustless p2p blockchain.

New version works great with haswell procesors, i guess. I run linux binaries and got 15H/s with my Xeon.  

But beware, miner takes 3GB RAM now for itself.

I've finally synchronized my blockchain with this new version of code and downloaded some statistics. Here is a difficulty chart starting from the genesis block.
Spike in november 2012 looks strange for me, but it exists in data.

Thx for the graph, how can you get this data?

What about the total hash rate?

DIFFICULTY CHART

Thx for the graph, how can you get this data?

print_bc console command prints blockchain statistics like this:

Code:

I don't know the right way to calculate hash rate.

in simplewallet it says: "unknown command: print_bc"
and in bytecoind it says: "need block index parameter"
 

-edit- I have v0.8.3.287

It needs begin_height and end_height parametes:

Code:

print_bc 0 460000

and it works only in

Code:

set_log 2

mode with bytecoind started with --log-file parameter. The result is in log file.

has anyone already managed to setup a local pool by using the simpleminer?

Updated windows binaries is now available
Release notes 0.8.3 :
- JSON RPC for wallet;
- fixed bug with blockchain storing;
- fixed bug with correct display of transfer's change;
- bug fix in simple wallet.

I think all of us here should update our binaries.

I'm not seeing that post on bytecoin.org. Did they remove it due to issues?

Nice Graph! Found this on the website about the spike

Difficulty is back to 'normal'
The last jump of difficulty value (from ~100k to 385513) was quite unexpected. But it's back what is even more surprising! Important note: no double-spend or forking attack were mentioned.Some numbers were also inserted in the blocks; looks like a counter. Btw retargeting algo works out perfectly. We are ready for the next "wave".

Anyone luck on mining?

I would guess that it was removed to make it look like the coin is abandoned. Seems to be a very low-key group of people that don't want attention currently.

That doesn't make sense. If they didn't want their currency adopted they wouldn't have an online presence at all.

[Johnny Mnemonic]

But the updated windows binary is still up.

It is? Where? All I see is the updated source on GitHub.

It looks to be allright. Please check log file on disk (you've named it with --log-file parameted while starting bytecoind). This file must contain blockchain statistics. Does it?
