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

[UnitedColors]

Looks like Monero has bought a place when Bytecoin surpassed it

Haha, what a move! Somebody is clearly a pussy  

Interesting... how much?

[madzooka]

How did the BCN team managed to to put fake names on it's team page that you can't even google ? Is this a joke or a game ?
If you want to show some transparency, you are doing it wrong, because the more you post the worst it gets.

First of all let me say that I respect the work behind BCN, and I own some of it.

Having said that. people here is kinda paranoid (me included) and I am sure everybody would be happy if some questions are answered :
- Can you give us some prove of the legitimacy of the blockchain ? There is some open discussion about it but the fact is that we lack facts supporting both positions.
- The mining teams, community, etc ... You mention them several times on your website but again there is no proof of this, can you provide some proof or at least credible sources ?
- Fake names ... really ? I don't think there is a reason to put fake names, just say you want to stay anonymous, people will respect this.
- Development Roadmap, there has been clearly work going on behind the scenes, what more can we expect ?

Hope to hear at least something NEW from the devs.

DStrange, maybe you can make sure this message gets to the devs ... TY

Good question. Hope to see the answer soon, especially, for the last one.

They probably thought fake names would be fun. Some users though could have found it disrespectful.

IMO, all questions are important but I'd like to know the answer to the third question as I don't see the point to write fake names on the web. I was thinking that Nicolas van Saberhagen is one of the developers

Whos that?

Nickolas van Saberhagen (or Nick Szabo) is well-known for his research in digital contracts and digital currency.

Interesting that it was suggested that he is the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Am I right that BCN is an academic project? I've recently read a post by DStrange on reddit and a lit bit confused if it is still a project and or something more than a project

Could you, please, write a link to that post? I'd like to read it.

As for your question, I think that it was developed as a project but then developers realized that the project has a huge potential. As far as I remember, CN developers team has announced that there was a CN-based coin before BCN but it wasn't launched, and then they've created BCN and launched it in 2012.

Looks like Adam Back is very interested in BCN -   http://pastebin.com/ZprPMQTz

Academic project!!  This is insane. I can hardly imagine anybody having an academic project like this.

Indeed, hard to believe. But enthusiasm + talent can make some crazy things happen!

Surfing through the thread I've recently met with these comments -

Looks like Cicada is involved this project. No wonder that there is conspiracy. No wonder that goin2mars has disappeared.

This is cicada 3031 sign. I think that cicada 3031 have developed BCN and that's why it was in a deep wed for two years.

Furthermore, there is private sub reddit, IMHO, that was used by first BCN community - http://www.reddit.com/r/bytecoin/

But no one know the password to get in.

I didn't know there is private reddit for bcn.  I was thinking there is only reddit.com/r/BytecoinBCN to chat.

 Me ever. Looks like I won't sleep a lot tonight. There's so much to read about.

I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but new binaries changed the way Bytecoin's blockchain is saved. It seems like "save" command is not doing anything, just like "exit" command doesn't print out anything regarding the stored blockchain.

On the other hand, it seems that this is the way the new block chain data base is working. It gets saved regardless of "save" and "exit" commands. I tried killing the daemon, and it seems that the block chain is stored anyway. I guess the commands are legacy and should be deleted. Also, I've checked the manuals on BCN website and community website, they do not mention those anymore.

Bottom line: Bytecoin developers rock! The block chain is stored and loaded now in a matter of seconds (not even mentioning it doesn't take 4GB RAM anymore). Good work!

Haven't tried yet. I still have to finish the loading of the blockchain to even give it a go
If so, that is awesome! I know I will forget to type "exit" or "save" once in a while. LOL

You may download the block chain file from their website: http://bytecoin.org/windows-download?blockchain
Even though this one is "for windows", the block chain is completely cross platform thanks to the latest Bytecoin updates; it even leads to the same file from different platform downloads.

Then you should place the files into your hidden bytecoin folders:
Windows: %AppData%/Roaming/bytecoin
Linux/Mac: ~/.bytecoin

This should save you a lot of time.

AWESOME! Thank you very much for the information provided to me.
I will do that and transfer over my 1.9 mil coins I just purchased. This coin is brewing just fine

...

Using fake names doesn't necessarily mean bytecoin is a scam, maybe the dev is Satoshi Nakamoto or JFK or Amelia Earhart and has to remain anonymous for secret reasons that people like us would not understand.

I am not saying that, I am just saying that if they are trying to be more open to the community they are doing it wrong IMHO. I already stated that remaining anonymous is perfectly fine. and everybody should be able to preserve his own privacy.

[ReRunRod]

Can someone help me how to start mining this coin? I have my blockchain up to date I also have my wallet.. What's next?
