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

[mindless]

Bytecoin difficulty is rising again - a very good sign for everyone who invested in BCN
As soon as this coin gets GUI and blockchain stored in db price will skyrocket for sure.

The old BCN website newsfeed contains references to "V.Hugo team", "The R guy team", "Dante" and "Einstein":
07/14/2012 "V.Hugo" team are with us now.
11/10/2012 "The R guy" team is onboard since today.
11/29/2012 "Dante" has started working.
07/15/2013 "V.Hugo" is back, be ready for increase.
09/13/2013 Updated "Einstein" is now ready for working in the new regime
An old BCN user confirmed the existence of mining teams at the beginning of the Bytecoin era. The teams are similar to mining pools. Every team is an isolated group of miners and users with their own interests. Every team has its own website on deep web. And each team (pool) has its team leader who communicates with BCN devs and pass important info to his group members.
Later the BCN blockchain messages were found. Now we know BCN blockchain contains quotes from different authors: a quote from Neuromancer (by William Gibson), quotes from Victor Marie Hugo, Dante Alighieri, Friedrich Nietzsche and Galileo Galilei.
It was assumed that each team marks founded blocks adding a message to blockchain. So we know about 4 teams from the news feed and about 3 other "quote" teams from the blockchain. So there are at least 7 mining teams (pools).
However other types of messages were also founded in the BCN blockchain. They are: links to the articles, the Cyphernomicon, strange riddle and coordinates. Supposing every type of message belongs to one team we may conclude there are at least 10 BCN mining teams.
It was said there is no rule for a number of members in each mining team, so we can set 15 as an average one.
But it should be admitted the number of "marked" blocks are negligible comparing to the whole blockchain. So the mining teams (pools) are undoubtedly only a small part of the BCN Community.
And there are some calculations for you: 10 teams with 15 members each -> there are at least 150 "identified" BCN stakeholders Just like in the Bitcoin. + a lot of those who can be "identified" anyhow.
So should we be still afraid of centralized dump?

As you might remember, a couple of weeks ago I posted a screenshot of some text hidden in the Bytecoin's blockchain (with a string from Cyphernomicon):

Looks like I've found something extremely interesting

......

There are more encoding methods used in the extranonce like mentioned on the old bytecoin website.

Also it confirms what was speculated (by the missing members) when the puzzles started. Good catch!

Hello,
I've got a trouble with my BCN wallet.. Yesterday, I created a wallet but my PC wasnt synchronizated with blockchain info.. After that I've started to mine coins to that wallet.. Today (after synchronization with blockchain is done) I'm trying to login to that wallet and I get an error: Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:8081).
Is my wallet alright or it's fucked up already and I lost my 25k of BCN (which I mined yesterday)..
Thanks for help.

Are the latest binaries - wallet and daemon 0.8.9? I downloaded some from the website a day or two ago...

Wanna withdraw coins from pool so trying to prevent surprises.

You have to keep the daemon running. My guess is that you close the daemon and try to access the wallet without the daemon running.

Hello all. I haven't been here for a while so I saw your BCN thread for the first time yesterday evening. You know what? It seems to me I had been mining Bytecoin in 2012.

This coming outs are starting to annoy me. Where have you all been before?

I was at Bitcoin London Conf in 2012 and went to have a beer with friends to the nearest pub last evening. I met a guy there (don't remember his name. something like Jeff or John, maybe).
He told me about ring signatures and mentioned something about CryptoNote. I felt interested and tried to ask him for more details. He was with a company too(10 or 12 people meetup) so our conversation was rather short. We chatted a bit and he gave me a card with .onion website address. He said it would be a currency of the future and I had to mine it.

Lots of miners and very few investors, nothing has changed much.

Another thing i just stumbled on is they mentioned a meeting somewhere in London around Sept. 2012. Around the same time there was a Bitcoin Conference in the same city.

It was mentioned before, sounds legit. Jeff Garzik anyone? Looks like we have the BCN core team on that link above..

Old community army is coming at us? Lol.

So, been mining much in 2012?

the current bcn hashrate is very low and http://bcn.extremepool.org/ has more than 51%...

Jeff Garzik? Maybe, I don't remember. But doesn't look like a guy.

I used to mine with my old laptop. Difficulty wasn't that high and I used to find blocks rather regularly. So I did around 100M for a week, but I saw no reason to mine further since I knew no places
to spend it. Also I didn't know where it came from and where it would be.

Good for you... I guess.

Are you going to dump it on us?

No, I'm not. When I saw this thread I rushed to my old laptop and even found a wallet file there. 
I'm such a looser, you know. I don't remember the password. I may have had 60 BTC when the rate was 0.0000006.

I think it's all bullshit - show us the proof. Proof or never happened.

Wait for the quantum computers - bruteforce is your choice.

You cought them probably based on news from 09/10/2012 on the old website.

It is exciting game to look for the hidden, secrets in the past, but I am not sure if this is helpful. Would not be better to let the developers work in anonymity instead of seeking where they are and who are they?
