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

[Rias]

What a weird business model. Roughly $2.5 per article, and $250 per research. I wonder why this one has never surfaced before. Closed ecosystem again?

I think it's way to make some money for students and professors: it costs nothing for them to find and download books and papers in case their University provides free access to those libraries for students ans stuff (that is normal state of affairs for most of the cases).

This theme of free knowledge and research papers sounds familiar (hint, CryptoNote). Does it mean Bytecoin is known among universities, students, researchers?

I remember somebody has mentioned approaching Bitcoin Stanford Group, and they rejected being CryptoNote's authors. It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but they could at least point to something if they were involved at any level.

I remember there were some suggestions about Standford Bitcoin Group as Bytecoin/CryptoNote developers somewhere at first pages of this thread.

Lol.

It always amuses me how one can shape another one's thoughts and find allusions where there aren't any. CryptoNote and Bytecoin team indeed worked together. It's Bytecoin devs that created the vast majority of the code based on the cryptography that was primarily ours by design. As BCN devs were interested in playing around with the coins itself, our courses departed. That is basically the whole story. CryptoNote never envisioned itself stick to community and ecosystem creation. We simply let others do it.

I've recently contacted Bytecoin team and there are some interesting updates, which they promise to roll out in a few weeks.

Thanks for clarifying things. Can you share anything about the future plans and directions for CryptoNote? As I said above, I think you guys (and girls?) really are doing very interesting work.

Hm...I didn't know they work together. That's actually describe a lot

I have some news to tell you. Do you remember I told you about the buddy who mined BCN last autumn? I didn't take his words for granted and was a bit pushy so he showed me a working deep web service that accepts BCN.
That's something for education: you can order a paper from payed library for BTC/BCN

Nice Unicorn Who will try to order a paper to check if it's working?

Obviously not me 
Anyone else, maybe ! I am not so risky

Could you please send me some coins for wallet testings? Thank you!

I was trying to simulate bytecoin at network level with this amazing tool ( I fall in love at first glance since I like network simulators,  discrete event simulation, etc like ns, opnet, netSim, etc..)

simbit ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=603171.0 )

for while I just need help to get these variable ..

var hashrate:I can get from:show_hr
var number of nodes::print_pl

is it correct ? is the print_pl returns all nodes connected ??

First time starting up bytecoin and i have found a major flaw.

The blockchain is already 1.7GB that is 1/10 of the bitcoin blockchain. Considering the transactions and usage of bitcoin is 1000's+ more than bytecoin why is the bytecoin blockchain so huge already?

Years of fabrication sure do add up 

A lot of that size is probably just from the blocks themselves rather than transactions in them. CryptoNote ring signature transaction bloat is only 2-3 times that of Bitcoin transactions.

Bytecoin has been around for over 2 years on the deep web. Definitely not anything new.

[sorryforthat]

2 years wtf i never heard of them and they still haven't got a gui WTF!!!

which darkweb are we talking here?

meshnet?
hyperboria?
i2p?
tor?

And what do you mean on the dark web? its a standalone client, it doesnt require i have any darkweb open.

What merchants on the darkweb use bytecoin if its been out for 2 years?

Shits getting strange.

You should read from page one, this has been addressed again and again. But you are right there is alot of interesting things associated with the current and past holdings of this coin

this is what i got when i searched in minergate block chain search

Can you show us any results?

"650,000BCN = 0.5BTC"

why is the price so low on exchanges?!?

If I've done the math correctly, 0.5btc is currently worth 3,571,428.6BCN

What is going on here?

I am also confused about this comment.
This Unicorn must me a confirmation that BCN has been existing for 2  years.

[Stanford]

Is it possible to MM only BCN with FCN ?

I wonder if I can mine BCN with QCN.

I'm at home now, and I was working on a box in my office, I will be back on Monday .. I was just thinking to my self if I can see about 500 nodes ring.. how do I know witch one is a pool daemon node ?

Weird. The best thing to do first is to calm down and try to check h/r a lit bit later

Was about to vote for BCN at mintpal but I haven't found it there - https://www.mintpal.com/voting#BCN   

[GreedyBoy]

excuse me for a silly question but am I right I can mine from multiple computers to the same account?
