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

[kneim]

I have my coins again, so a brief aggregation now.

I'm working with Ubuntu Linux 12.04, installed as Virtual Machines on top a VirtualBox environment. My Ubuntu installation is for wallets only, standard installation, some with VPN prepared. One week before all worked as expected, I created a lot of wallets for exchanging BCN. But beginning from yesterday I got this message on start of simplewallet and every refresh:

Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 6321

A dozen of wallets failed, residing on three different VMs, residing on three different hardware. Also with the newest wallet version (0.8.5.306) it failed to refresh. Surprisingly newly created wallets are working, but not the old ones.

I have now installed a wallet into windows 7 (version 0.8.6.56), syncronized the blockchain, created a new wallet successfully. Then I transfered my Ubuntu wallets into windows, renamed the large wallet-file, and voila, the refresh finished without any error, showing the correct balance.

I have downloaded the newest binaries for windows or linux. I wonder that the version differs significantly between the two os. The linux version perhaps is not uptodate.

I could compile it on my own, if I would find a hint about it to be necessary. But as a marketing guy already said about BCN: If the usability does not increase, this coin is useless. What I also wonder about: as a coin with preference to anonymization and security there should be a large community of linux users here.

Do anybody use a linux os for his wallets successfully? What's the os name and version? Do I have to compile the wallet sw on my own?

I use ubuntu 13.10 and compile myself. Compilation is very easy.

git clone blah blah
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install boost-all-dev
cd bytecoin
make

The one right after the tx extra fix. I haven't updated since then.

I have a suggestion: let's bet when will mac version appear?
As usual I can see only P.S. MacOS version coming soon. on the web dated 04/10/2014

I compiled from the github source on OSX 10.9.2: Link

Works fine for me. Please PM if you have issues.

DStrange, feel free to re-upload and put it on the main post.

I am using latest version from github (compiled myself) -> 0.8.6

Also,

FantomCoin [FCN] is going to be launched in several hours
Blockchain starts 5/6/2014 2:00pm GMT

I'm really sorry for all that delays. But now all tests were done successfully and we are ready to launch FantomCoin

From the looks if it - first merged mining (for BCN and BMR) CN currency is going to be launched soon. Looking forward to it.

One more CryptoNote based coin. But that's one implements merged mining. And IMO that's cool.

merged mining - cool!

[abit2slo]

Interesting to try anyway.

[ndonnard]

IT'S TIME TO START MINING, GUYS! EVERYTHING IS READY!

You may download everything you need there:

I'm not a geek but I guess devs have done the excellent job with this.
everything works without trouble.

[Wanesst]

Here is a new BCN fork - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=585611 (FantomCoin). It's merged mined with BCN (or BitMonero)!

There is a GUI-miner (no command line):



I wrote the dev and maybe he can help with the GUI-miner for BCN

on the second one, move the 2 small logos in black and white to the bottom row. then win.

oh, and make the bytecoin type equidistant between the big logo and small. then win.

First one (with an ocean and PENGUIS!) is astonishing. Voting for it.
