Make a new site. Old guy wants a lot of cash as I posted somewhere. You don't need the domain.

BUMP! would you guys mind paying up to allow us to continue working with BTE we have a few sites in line willing to accept BTE as payment method but would like some BTE to start off

EDIT: do you guys have a way to get in contact with the original dev id like to get the original bytecoin site up. Also would you guys pm me if youre interested in a merged mining pool so i can add you to the list. we are currently working on 4 nodes 2xpushpoo/stratum and 2x p2pool based. so if you guys would be willing to donate some BTC to get hold of some servers it would be appreciated. We have some sites waiting to accept BTE one is bitgrenade another is a site design company by serversides.

I'm not really sure what you're after, but I'm happy to run merged-mining on my BTC/TRC P2Pool nodes.

Well here is an update. The cocreator/actual coder wants 1btc per day to work. 5btc to take over the domain.
We can basically take over bytecoin but I don't know if it is worth it or to just give up.
Does anyone want to join me or take over?

This is something DeVCoin itself needs to update its code, so in effect DeVCoin already is paying to have it done, as I am already basically "on salary" or "tenured"; I have to work on something free open source, today I chose to work on this that DeVCoin needs, that also of course all the merged mined coins and wannabe-merged-mined coins all also need.

So its just another case of DeVCoin helping out around the place. Smiley

Yeah I'm disgusted by devcoin, it's embarrassing having the word developer in it
 Great work markm
I agree, and think that this should be eligible for a devcoin bounty as bitcoin/altcoin client development should one of devcoin's primary goals at the moment.  Devcoin should always be based against the most current (or better) bitcoin client codebase and working on it's own new features.  One thing that i'd like to see is a multi-wallet, with modular alternative blockchain plugins.  I don't understand why there aren't more (specific) bounties posted for cryptocoin development.  For instance, all of the BIPs should have bounties assigned.  Eligibilty would be integration in either the devcoin or mainline bitcoin client.  I think Gavin should be eligible for devcoin bounties for all the hard work he does.  Whether he's interested in claiming them should be up to him.

Thanks for the hard work markm.  I'd love to be able to claim the devcoins i dumped on a compressed key.  These altcoins really need the updated security and bugfixes too.

Can't we take Devcoin or Ixcoin merge mining code?

Both of those are simply bitcoin with the merged mining patches added then the specific alt-coin's "things that make it unique" added.

So both of those are now waiting for the new Mergecoin repo to be ready, so they can both apply to that the things that make them unique.

If your coin is based on some ancient version of bitcoin, then maybe you might be able to apply merged-mining.patch directly to your coin, and your coin will stay as ancient outdated code like IXCoin and DeVCoin currently are. They are so old they have no encrypting of wallets, gosh knows what other features they lack and what bugfixes they do not have. Is your coin's code THAT out of date?

As an example, does your coin use Berkely DB, like old bitcoin used to do? Or is it based on newer bitcoin, thus uses the new type of database?

Part of why this patch is hard to apply is because it was created back before the new type of database came into use...

I have now applied the merged-mining.patch to latest bitcoin, and even also manually gone through one of the .rej files of rejected chunks. But there are still three .rej files I have not tackled yet. I have pushed what I have done so far to https://github.com/knotwork/Mergecoin

I have just now forked bitcoin to a new repo, https://github.com/knotwork/Mergecoin.git

This is to be the Mergecoin repo.

I am going to clone it at home and try to get the merged mining patches to apply.

If I can do that I can then push the changes back up to the repo and presto we will have the wonderful common ancestor repo from which all the merged mined coins can then update themselves, and from which bytecoin (and any other bitcoin clone that wants to add merged mining) can also create a new version of itself.
