Topic: [BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012 - page 185. (Read 1070171 times)

There is NO "conclusive evidence" of wrongdoing. There is NO whistle-blower, from CN, BCN or anywhere else. The only people even close to the  tech (the cn team) backup the BCN version of events. Bytecoin is the first CN coin. EVERY CN coin has a theoretical vulnerability (chance to deanon if holding a large supply). Almost nothing is known about anybody mining XMR or BCN or the amounts they hold (distro of wealth), who they work for or what their interests are.

The bytecoin tech is leading the way in crypto-currency anonymity still. You dont have to invest in bytecoin to profit from its innovations (although I have).

So true. Whether the blockchain was fabricated, or it was mined to 82% within a hidden community, either scenario renders this coin dead in the water.

I agree that knowing their identities is not important, but with BTC  there's absolutely no doubt that satoshi launched the blockchain in January 2009, and the well respected cryptographer, Hal Finney, was a witness to this, but with bytecoin there is doubt, and to date no conclusive evidence that confirms their account of events, and that means BCN doesn't pass the sniff test as a good investment.

Their identities isn't important, but the 82% premine and fabricated blockchain are.

Hello,

I will finalize the Change Request for ABIS  around the evening of August 4th.
Some details on the process that I will follow are posted here:

Part of that post states:

"I'm planning on revising this Draft Change Request consistent with
the input I've received here. It will be republished as a Change
Request (finalized). Please feel free to continue to add comments;
note I will finalize the Change Request around the evening of August

Review comments people have provided and add comments or questions on the development of the ABIS microgiving concept for BCN there.

Thank you!

Harold speaks the truth. I agree. Doesn't matter if we know who made it or not, look at BTC. 100%

I know for a fact that whoever runs the cryptonote website/forum/channels backs up the bytecoin version of events fully. See https://cryptonote.org/ . From the monero perspective this means (as fluffypony and smooth have openly stated) that the CN team must be "in on it". It also means that monero is completely alone and has ostracized itself from anything and everything to do with bytecoin and cryptonote.

The origins of bytecoin (and cryptonote) are undoubtedly mysterious with no known entities (save perhaps Sabelnikov). Does this bother me? Not really since Satoshi is an unknown entity too and because it is completely in keeping with making a powerful anon currency that might change the world you would protect your anonymity at all costs (much like satoshi with the pseudo-anonymous bitcoin).

As I said on the previous page: "Whether you believe it's a case of pearls to swine or pearls from swine they are still pearls. I applaud the bytecoin team's innovations and hold some BCN in a show of support for its important achievements past and future."

The recent updates to 1.0.6 are mind-bending. Perhaps we could discuss these instead?

I thought you were an interested bystander searching for the truth? have you had actual contact with either the CN or BCN teams? What makes you so sure "the cryptonote team and bcn team are in agreement"?

I know from my time around scientists, artists, entertainers etc that the creators, or 'doers', are so busy 'doing' that they often end up being manipulated by other parties. I think it's possible the people who invented the actual cryptography behind CN & bytecoin were at arms length from the premine scam in some way. It's possible, but I don't know.

@harold, What do you know for a fact about the connection between CN & BCN?

I have no doubt the tech is superb. I have no doubt the BCN backstory (or lack of) makes it a terrible investment, especially when XMR is over 12 months old, 100% transaparent, can use all the open source tech anyway, and has things like cryptokingdom to help spread adoption

Being in the right place at the right time. They must have really liked him to give him that job in an otherwise closed group as a stranger. Lucky guy.


I don't have an answer to that.

Interesting. Ok so theoretically speaking is it possible Dstrange is telling the truth and stumbled upon BCN...how does he then know the devs and get appointed as PR man? For all we know this is all some fairy tail.

How do we know the entire team is not one guy or just a huge story?

There was no other BCN, it was Bytecoin, but the symbol was BCE (thread link above), and it was abandoned and dead before DStrange was allegedly trying out of the blue to mine it and allegedly stumbled across the new cryptonote Bytecoin BCN.

I don't know the answers to your other questions.

@smooth - Blazin8888 is a known dick. And so are you if you persist in your church of monero crap. blazin (one last chance) - the cryptonote team and bcn team are in agreement. thtas all im gonna say for now… friday night… i have guests…

This man was completely ignored. Very strange things surrounding BCN indeed. What was the other BCN....how does this Dstrange guy have "contact" with this dev? He never says anything regarding this....also the BCN website never said anything about PACIFIC whatever until recently right?


Who is this pacific skyline ? hes never once mentioned ....


DStrange why havent you bothered to clear any of this stuff up yet?

Let's leave "scam" out of it for now, as that's a loaded word

The coin was made public Q1 2014, one day before the start date of this thread (2014-04-12). The first post referencing it is here (where someone, who happens to be listed as a BCN developer, allegedly accidentally stumbled across it while trying to mine a dead coin with the same name):


By that time it was already approximately 82% mined.

This is 100% factual.

If you want to read more opinions and analysis of what may have happened leading up to that point, there are ample resources on this thread and elsewhere.

Can we all just be productive? Harold relax youre out of line. He has every right to be critical. He was not spreading BS at all.

Explain this premain scam issue as ive heard more ppl than just him say something about it





Productive:

You're a broken record kid.

I don't have a problem, what's yours.

Your "warnings" are out of line and ignored.

Also, there was nothing unsubstantiated there at all. Read it more carefully.

I warned you about spilling your unsubstantiated BS in this thread. WTF is your problem you complete and utter loser? Go back to Monero where they need you now…

Would it be possible to make a qt wallet that allows you to store both BTC and BCN in the same wallet. Seamlessly.

I believe something like this is needed in crypto. Also it would further empower BCN in my opinion as it would show the community that it is here to support BTC and I think people would start to see BTC is more like gold...it moves slower on the blockchain etc...BCN will be used as a day to day currency and people can store there digital gold (BTC) in their wallets as well. Make the most versatile wallet. Thats the future IMO and would bring value to this coin.  


You gotta think about the long run here guys. Your mom your dad using this stuff etc....i dunno. It may not even be possible im just thinking...


Lets get this listed on more exchanges ...


https://support.btc-e.com/

if peer coin is listed on BTC-E we can get Bytecoin listed. ..its a better coin IMO

Yes.


All of the cryptonote coins, including BCN, have a strong system for making the blockchain private along with other features (for example, no pre-defined block size limit) as discussed in the whitepaper: http://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf


Criticism is not FUD.

80% of the coin supply was secretly premined (i.e. mined before public release) or worse.

Can BCN be mined by any old CPU?

I do see potential here in

1. The name

2. Coin supply


Questions:

1. what does Bytecoin have that other coins dont?

2. why all the fud ?

I think bytecoin is setting it self up to be the day to day crypto we use. I mean just think logically people its human nature. Bitcoin was the first....its golden...digital gold. Litecoin is the silver to its gold. I see BCN as being pennies or the day to day crypto. Who knows how the future will pan out. Bytecoin is on the right track IMO. Very interested to see where it goes from here.
