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

I started a general thread on CryptoNote, please join discussion under:

Why was the blockchain stored in the RAM in the first place? Will moving the blockchain out of the ram make the wallet slower in some way?

Obvious it will be slower from HDD, thats why all CN coin devs are working on optimization and the best database implentation for the chain.

[hamiltino]

still no GUI?

Not so obvious to me. There is no reason to think that the normal usage of the software (that's sending and receiving transactions ) will be slower, in fact I have not found any evidence of this in my own preliminary tests of the beta version.

still no GUI?

sounds like those guys get lazy to develop GUI because they really like command-line
btw, cmd sounds like pattern ... for instance... networking professionals prefer to open up ssh to router, or use gnupgp in line; or security guys, (to quote HD q: what we're looking for ? a: shell)

I will try to code a simple GUI this weekend if time permits.
No promises though. Command line works fine for me TBH.

Getting it working properly is more important now in my opinion than giving any priority on programming a GUI now. I have a working keyboard and can ask in the forum if anything is not clear with the commands.

This is true anonymity. Darkcoin just fakes it.

I agree. Also, I think the zerocash people are too exposed and it will not be tolerated. That scenario would pretty much leave just BCN (and copies) in the game.

The problem with zerocash is that it relies on a trusted party to compute the mix parameters. So, no reason not to tolerate it. If a reasonably powerful entity would be concerned about the anonymity provided, it could just apply rubber hose cryptoanalysis in order to gain access to the parameters.

Major Bytecoin update

Bytecoin source code has been largely updated.

1) The block chain has been moved out of RAM, which cut down the usage from 4 GB to 850 MB. In the next releases it is expected to become as low as 350 MB.
2) The block chain file is now unified across all platforms.

When you run the new binaries, the daemon will automatically convert your old block chain to the new format. Your "blockchain.bin" file will be split into 3 files: "blockindexes.dat", "blockscache.dat", "blocks.dat".

Next week there will be another significant update!

P.S. BCN devs would like to thank all the beta tester from the community that helped them launch this release.

It's really great work. BCN developing team makes not just a cryptocurrency, but a work of art. We should give them credit for their hard work.

Is the binaries in OP updated to this new ram saver?

EDIT: YES, IT IS!

Cross-platform blockchain finally! You know, those guys do things that matter.

Would we be able to find out how much the low memory load will effect it compared to before and why not done this way in the first place?
