Damn, i need more CPUs. I must get 185 milions. 
185 millions are a kind of self-restraint. 200 millions are better. And only

Call me crazy but i'm starting to think bytecoin is a project of Cicada 3301
Damn, well I guess I'm not the only one that was thinking along that same line.
Because they're so anonymous, or any specific leads?
Because of the ridiculously anonymous vibe for me. No specific leads
I spent some time re-reading sites about Cicada's last puzzle. It doesn't look like their style to me.
The similarity is anonymity and onion sites usage, that's kinda it. Cicada is more into puzzles, but there are none at Bytecoin. Yes, there is some pgp message in the bytecoin-cryptonote onion meta tags, but it seems that it is not decryptable.

I started a FAQ thread for BCN and CryptoNote, since all the info was pretty confusing.
It's kind of a summary of what we know:

Good work, thank you!
I've checked everything again ... and CryptoNote is a lot like Bitcoin but all the code looks to be designed from scratch and it seems that developers aren't very familiar with Bitcoin code itself. Three technical issues need to be explained very thoroughly for everybody to understand CryptoNote's innovations:
1. one-time signature (this is the way CryptoNote makes money destination hidden)
2. ring signature (this is the way CryptoNote makes money origin obscure)
3. CryptoNight hash algo (PoW)
I love this geek coin~ also the midi music~
Looks like this is a most technically advanced coin. It's quite possible that it will repeat Bitcoin acceptance scenario with a long time being in the shadow mostly because it's difficult to understand technical issues.

Intel Xeon E5-2670 (32core with 60gb mem)
I wish I could have the same. All I have is 1.0-1.5 h/s
Intel Xeon E5-2670 (32core with 60gb mem)
As far as I understood the code, hashrate can be estimated from difficulty as difficulty / 120 (hashes / seconds). I.e. current hashrate is 640000 / 120 = 5333 h/s. An average machine gives about 5 h/s. We have 1000 miners just now and 500 joined yesterday? Looks like botnet started mining
I have some xeon's running at 40 h/s so it would take around 130 of those to match the difficulty, doenst sound like a botnet to me (yet)btw anyone of you know something about the Stanford Bitcoin Group?
Xeon at 40h/s - cool!
is this Xeon E5-2680 v2?

I heard of them. They do research into Bitcoin theory and applications: http://bitcoin.stanford.edu/. Pretty good TryBitcoin project.
Do you think they are Bytecoin authors?

During last 3 days difficulty increased twice: from ~300.000 to 640.000. Look like a lot of people joined this club.
Here is a difficulty chart of last 6 months of Bytecoin/Cryptonote:

Wow, this thread has bursted during last days. I feel the whole story is getting more weird with each day. Has anybody tried figuring out anything at Cryptonote forum? I'll be digging through it today.
Important info:
Today is my wedding anniversary ( it's five years since I have married the best woman in the world
) and we gonna have romantic "no gadgets and gear" weekend.
So during Saturday and Sunday there will be no giveaway transactions.
It means only one: you still may fill the form to take part in giveaway. But you will recieve your BCN only on Monday (4/7/2014)!

Are there any volonteers to help me with giveaway?

in simplewallet it says: "unknown command: print_bc"
and in bytecoind it says: "need block index parameter"
-edit- I have v0.8.3.287
and in bytecoind it says: "need block index parameter"
-edit- I have v0.8.3.287
It needs begin_height and end_height parametes:
Code:
print_bc 0 460000
and it works only in
Code:
set_log 2
mode with bytecoind started with --log-file parameter. The result is in log file.this is what I get:
It looks to be allright. Please check log file on disk (you've named it with --log-file parameted while starting bytecoind). This file must contain blockchain statistics. Does it?
