It does not need POS or tail emission. Pools are in control of the transaction fees and the way transactions are labeled valid and most of the concerns are pool related, not core related. Just my opinion.

So... Who is going to mine nothing? Lol... Tongue

Shift Coin, Phantom/IPFS the new Web 3.0
Why does this wallet use so much of the internet connection, like over 50mbps

This coin still being developed but almost all been mined, what will happen?.. It has no tail emission, its not used enough to survive on fees alone.

that's interesting
Needs a hard fork or probably will die.
needs PoS

Any word from the developers?
Still hiding or working hard behind the scenes.

The timeline and story that was told indeed made no sense and was almost certainly made up. The real story is unknown. We can only infer small bits and pieces from what is visible.

This coin is close to fully mined

180/184 billion already mined

What was the early vision of this coin? Was there ever a glorious vision of BCN one day being worth 1 USD per coin or 100 USD a coin? It's just we are looking at a coin that is at the moment not even worth a penny

No, it was a scam.  Here is a lot more than you probably want to know. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blowing-the-lid-off-the-cryptonotebytecoin-scam-with-the-exception-of-monero-740112

I'll disagree a bit. The original question asked "was there ever" and before the scam it is possible there was a glorious vision. The technology was developed by someone or some group who were highly capable, and probably that was done for more than scamming. It seems to have been coopted at some point.


Fair enough, I have always just thought it was funny that the coin even exists anymore, given it's questionable past, but I guess if there are enough people who have $ in it, it will survive that long...

I do agree with you on the technology and capability points, but the whole timeline and story have just never made any sense to me - If it was truly meant to be a visionary technology, why was the first coin made from it so shady/strange? It seems like the true creators would & could have done something just as awesome as bitcoin had they been honest and more transparent, but I guess the truth is probably stranger than fiction like many cases.

I installed desktop wallet v1.0.10.1 , but don't see any where issue private key (and import private key). Can anyone help me ?

If you were using an older version of wallet until now, you should have a .wallet file in following folder:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\bytecoin

In new wallet software, go to 'File --> Open Wallet' and choose this file

Does not work for me. I'm running it on Ubuntu Linux, and using the newest core version 1.0.10.1.692. If I try to open an old wallet, I get this messages:

but i need private key, where is i can get it ?

Indeed I wonder that the core client has no dump/load commands for exporting or importing the keys. Then I simply could start my old wallets, export the keys, and import into the new versions.

Significant marketcap, but too low trading volume.

$6 million in market cap with more than thousand dollars in volume the past 24 hrs is unrealistic.

Do you think it's a scam coin yet? Grin

OK owlcatz,

#1 - it does not make me any btc mining, only bytecoin.

#2 - i could find no evidence of spyware from minergate.

#3 - i could swear i saw you as a big miner at one of the pools,
maybe it was minergate.  Perhaps you were mining another coin.

#4 - i thought you were just joking, or maybe trolling this thread.

No, I meant, does mining BCN make you any bitcoin, but I gues you just hodl your BCN? Also, what do you mine with for hardware, or is it CPU only?

I have never mined at minergate, I have just heard stories / read posts somewhere saying they were not trustworthy, and I didn't like that you can't use regular ccminer or whatever, you had to use minergate's software. (Last I checked at least, I could be wrong now). 

No, I'm sorry, it wasn't me you saw mining there - I'm not a big miner at all - I Have two GPU's that I mine XMR with, but that's about it.

I'm not trolling the thread, I was honestly just curious why people mine this coin, and how?

Thanks! Smiley

Another question:

Is Minergate the only pool for BCN? Are there other pools using the standard open source pool software for cryptonote coins?

If there are other pools then you can certainly use the open source miners, since it does use the same hashing algorithm as XMR.

EDIT: There are some other pools in the OP. If you want to mine BCN without minergate you might check those out.
