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

About the mining; you know you can use the deamon to mine to another wallet? bytecoind --start-mining address, this way you can setup a personal pool (if you have enough resources like cloud mining etc)

I'm a little confused about this. How do you specify the number of threads? If I say 'threads=4' after the address, show_hr gives me a hashrate like there is only one thread running.

Just the number after the address, like this:

start_mining akjduIUSBIbiasijadiUAHBd 4

Will begin mining with 4 threads

Oh that's silly of me. Thankyou~

Have you seen this? CryptoNote team is looking for volunteers: https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27
I have sent them my CV.

Just for your information: I had problems building under CentOS 6.5 with boost-1.5.5 and gcc-4.7.3, switching to gcc-4.8.2 fixed this problem for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this won't work like a pool, it will just solomine to other wallet instead one that is running on a computer. You won't have to transfer the mined coins from several computers, but you also won't know the statistics: which comp found the block (and block quantities solved per comp).

I have several good cpus solomining bytecoin and I'd like to know if I'm right (that pointing several solomining cpu to one wallet won't increase chances\block salvation speed).

True. Its not like using combined cpu power and submitting shares to a pool, for this we need stratum/getwork support. But atleast we can mine to other wallets directly so we dont need multiple wallets running and transfer coins manual.

Hello!
I just began to mining BCN (about 2 days). And WOW my balance is not zero already! The interface of www.minergate.com is so simple and scrumptious.
I think cryptocurrencies will spread over the world and it will change a lot.
Despite of my vivid interest and curiosity of new ways of economic  it's difficult to imagine this  world in details. I understand that  it's impossible mostly but if you have any suggestions I would be glad to hear.
Off course nobody knows what future contains but the appearence of such new technologies is HUGE moment in history. Do you agree with BCN dev's pholosophy?

[DStrange]

200,000 BCN were added to giveaway address today!
Thank you, anonymous.

Can confirm this. It won't work as a pool. Each CPU has it's own chance of finding block even if you mine to the same wallet.

Any answers?
1. Connect bytecoind daemon via proxy with command line?
2. Can we mine without blockchain sync? and that submitblock?

2. Yes we can. To mine without blockchain sync you should use pool

I heard about Bytecoin from a friend and at first thought it was the BTC fork, the name confused me.

But the crypto note technology sounds really great.

It looks like BCN does not have BTC’s flaws and it definitely has a future.

I’m off to start mining.

Nice giveaway

ORLY?

Hi, everyone. It's been a few days since I started mining BCN with my home PC (i5-2500K).

I’m not sure I understand how the difficulty is supposed to change exactly, can anyone explain?

Also, when I (hopefully) get some BCN, where is the place to exchange?

And does it make any sense to exchange BCN at the moment?

The plan is to invest into more mining power)

[Keeminakar]

Some people say Satoshi Nakamoto is back with BCN - a newer and better project with great anonymity and simple mining. Can this be true?

[lenam]

Maybe someone can elude my thinking.

This coin claims to be truly anonymous, something bitcoin could not achieve.
Why would we need to be anonymous. Well to be independent from government for instance and to be secure from money seizure.

But if you don't want your wealth store seized,then is a coin with a wallet file the right way to go?
In that concept there is no such thing as a brain wallet, or am I getting it wrong ? Same issure with bitcoins. If your hard disk is seized (or broken), your wealth store is gone.

There is a coin with a diffrent concept, where no matter where you are in the world, you can enter your passphrase and access your money as long as the network is up and running. So no wallet file. It is a decentralized wallet. If your passphrase is good, your money is secure. No one can take it from you, except he's guessing your passphrase.

In my eyes brainwallets are a huge advantage over a filebound wallet.

Or am I getting something wrong here ? Is it possible to access my bytecoins from any computer in the world, without having my initial wallet file ?

And I wouldn't really call it "better" in terms of "simple" - there is no GUI wallet!

A good point was made about business transactions. It makes it impossible for competitors, or anyone else for that matter, to spy on you or your business partner. This really is the evolution of cash, as it combines the decentralization of bitcoin with the untraceability of paper money. As for brain wallets they aren't actually decentralized afaik
