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

[madzooka]

the exchange has shut down? man, that's awful

I've left some coins there   

Don't worry! You can withdraw you coins.

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.

Right, so word of mouth spreads and more people start mining Bytecoin.

Can you explain how your miner had no effect on the difficulty? For some reason all these people kept finding about about Bytecoin over the past two years except the difficulty is mostly stagnate from block 5,000 to 400,000.

Oh wait I know why! It's because as you started mining the benevolent Bytecoin developers stopped mining isn't it? They didn't want too much for themselves.

What a load of rubbish.

Either you're full of fraud, or you were the only outsider that ever found out about Bytecoin.

I am sure that if there was a real underground movement where they met with randoms and tell them they have to mine it because it's the currency of the future, I am sure that the difficulty increases would have looked very different.

I am so sorry wildboy, but your story doesn't match reality. (Unless you really were the only outsider ever to be told about this currency.)

But please, all of you go invest and mine into the most absurd premine in cryptocurrency history, those developers need your coin now more than ever!

There you go some that's some Monero FUD of the day, although before dismissing me read what I wrote and dispute it. :p

Keep calm. that's story with wildboy has just began. I don't think its good to blame and even to negate his words.
IMO that he and over first miners haven't mined a lot so it didn't affect bcn diff. Still i'd like to see proofs.

[madzooka]

Old community army is coming at us? Lol.

So, been mining much in 2012?

I am shocked. Where was that old community before??
I believe there are first team to mine BCN and that's actually describe everything. Before woildboy's statement that he is one of the first miner I was sure they wouldn't like to be recognize. I mean that's clear that guys who like anonymity were interested in this coin and so they are still in shadow as Satoshi. But this user has ruined my vision

UPD: Here's the file if you want to have a look https://anonfiles.com/file/a6a540eeb9b5fb8be89460951457a9fb

This proves exactly nothing.

Unless we crack the password and find 100M inside the wallet (or 0).
BTW, beware with this site. There are some malware links.

Unless... in this case someone is lucky to find out the password that would change his/her balance and, furthermore, would make this situation clear. Let's try our luck? !

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

I had to do bit of a work...

I think we should be looking for PGP-armour styled signatures in this blockchain.

If someone to guess right password and open this wallet I think flower1024 would be him. I bet. He is smart enough and that's more important is scrupulous

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a public key encryption package to protect E-mail and data files. It lets you communicate  securely  with  people you've  never met, with no secure channels needed for prior exchange of keys.
 When you use pgp you still have a signature to identify a user.

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.

I highly agree...I would also recommend everyone here to look into ducknote.  I'm not down with "monero" though...sounds and looks like a fucking taco shop or dollar store.

I asked how to write a msg on bytecoin blockchain but got no answers ..

I know how to do that on bitcoin blockchain

I too am skeptical they would have just approached people about it like this. Maybe there's more he was told about and can't share just yet, but if that's all they said I don't believe it. It wouldn't match up with the story about teams and destruction keys. I'm considering the possibility these teams could only participate if each member agreed to keep (most of?) their coins in a wallet that can be destroyed (maybe by other teams) if procedure was somehow broken.

Your BCT account looks suspiciously like one of the ones that was sold after the bct hacks last year.

Do you have the onion address you were given? Do you still have the bytecoin wallet?

----

We all know there is a lot of secrecy around ByteCoin and that it was a project by respected cyberpunks and academics all around the world. The code on github and philosophy around the project says enough.. Why you want proof with a onion address?? Dont you believe more people where involved instead of a small team..

One example is the extra nonce and all the messages included, did someone fake all that data? I dont know but its pretty clear to me that the project was created as a framework for the future. Another example about the quality; the timestamp of the genesis block.

ps. one extra nonce i did not find in the excell sheet, the one as solution from a puzzle.

You can load a txt file from the command line when you are mining. Then when you find a block you can write a line of the file to the extra nonce. Its a little the same how Boolberry does the aliasing.

This coin seems interesting to keep watch   Just bought some mill BCN

Yeah, just looking into this coin now.

I mean, its history is interesting no doubt. I love the mystique about it, but investment wise.....can anyone recommend it?

[surfer43]

WTB 100M BCN for 2 BTC. PM

Good news! In two weeks we're "going to see a next significant step in Bytecoin's and CryptoNote's development".

Who is this Harry Ullman?

[mindless]

If anyone wants to trade some XMR to BCN pm me.

[babybonobo]

Who is this Harry Ullman?

I think it's an alias for one of the developers whom DStrange has been in, somewhat, contact with.

I too enjoy bytecoin's atmosphere, algo, name and price.  Huge upside potential as well if you're considering "investing", considering it is so cheap at the 8th decimal.
