Any new nodes? My wallet cant sync.

joined but can't seem to post 
I've never really used freenode before though so i suspect it's something i'm doing

nice. gimme 30 mins. Mind joining my irc channel on freenode #crypto-expert?

i'm up for some testing too
September 27, 2013, 03:18:54 PM
any of u guys up for testing today? i cant guarantee we will find any blocks though since my stratum code hasnt been tested yet. I only finished coding it like a few hours ago. i will put a pool up with publicly accessible nodes for you to sync with. Mistercoin who helped provide plenty of nodes for my last test client seems to have gone missing and seems to have taken all his nodes down
Sure, I'll help test. Just PM me the deets.

Client will not sync period no matter what do. Added all the addnodes. just wont synce up at all.
I hear you...
I tried several times in the past various months/days/weeks and I cannot even get a connection in my Qt client.
Obviously someone is connected because the blocks are still coming in, but it certainly isn't me...
Anybody albe to connect?? Anyone?
my hash rate is not that big to solo mine and i can't seem to find a pool

is there a working pool?

windows client link is dead can someone update it please?
I have uploaded a copy of the original file (bytecoin-0.8.1-win32.7z)

Right, heres the deal, im looking for someone who's a pro with github to join the dev team, anyone interested plz contact me or Digigami. Anyways in other news, the patch is ready it just needs applying to the client which is what the github bro is wanted for 
. Secondly we have a nice stable pool almost ready, just making the finishing touches. this will be a stratum Avalon and other ASIC friendly Pool PROP with 0 fees

Looks like my second block solved today will be orphaned. Having a tough time trusting the network here. I solved the block 3-4 hours ago, and another block has just recently been solved in its place. If the network can't sync a single transaction in hours timeframe, it doesn't look good.
ill set up another p2pool node so we can balance the high hash on Digigami's pool and you can join that
August 17, 2013, 04:37:22 PM
It could be a hostile node with lots of hash power

Okay, so I've done a little more mining with Bytecoin, to see if adding more nodes has helped. I was able to mine two blocks. The first block is showing up in CryptoCoinExplorer, and it shows up as having 2 confirmations, so I am assuming that it is fairly permanent.
The second block on the other hand, doesn't show up yet on CryptoCoinExplorer. I am wondering if it is in the network at all or just on my local box. Is there a way to resubmit a solution to a block that has not been orphaned yet?

There was an attack which raised difficulty

Thanks Ahmed_bodi and Digigami,
That makes a bit more sense. I guess the overall network is a bit fragmented with very few nodes available, hence the gaps. How is this affecting the difficulty though. My miner (bfgminer) says that the network has over 200 GH/s rate, but when I look at CoinChoose, the hash rate is listed as only ~9 GH/s. How often are blocks supposed to be generated? Bitcoin is supposed to be about every 10 minutes, correct? If Bytecoin is supposed to be 1:1 to bitcoin, then the difficulty seems too high because blocks are not being solved for hours (last I checked).
I understand that merged mining should help, because that would allow more people to mine while mining Bitcoin. But are there any stats on how many people merge mine or what the merge mine hash rate is? The only pool I know (besides P2Pool merge mining) that does merged mining is Bitparking, and their hash rate is only 9k GH/s.
Thanks again.

I thought I'd give solo mining a try with this coin. After about 1/2 a day, I was super pleased to have found a block! Awesome.
The bad news is that just a few hours later, the block I found was ORPHANED.
It's not like the same block was solved simultaneously as mine, it was hours later.
So I'm pretty pissed at that and just about ready to drop Bytecoin. It's hard to have faith in the coin when basic things like this happen.

As Ahmed_bodi pointed out this is an effect of difficulty and the overall network condition at the moment. An unfortunate problem no doubt, but don't let it mean your ready to give up already!
My pool seems to have a pretty high % of the total network hashrate at the moment, and likely what happened is my BTE node did not recieve your solved block broadcast before the pool mined a block itself. If you are going to keep trying solo, add my node to your bytecoin.conf file "addnode=75.156.208.65" and this way the pool will see your mined blocks right away, and instead of continuing to work on one at the same height the pool will start working on top of your solved block and help ensure it's confirmed and stays in the block chain.
Hope that helps, and I'd be happy to help you if there's anything else I can do.
