What's wrong with minergate client? Is that 1 thread only miner? I have 6.5 H/s with solo mining, but only 1,8 in minergate.
You can run multiple instances of minergate simultaneously to create more threads.

I was intrigued with what nakaone said regarding the number of coins in circulation. So I decided to make a research.
The formula on the Bytecoin's website was not prepared for easy calculations, so I decided to play around with it.
Here are the constants:
We can omit M to calculate the sequence:
So bn should be like this:
Which leads us to a new representation of the original formula:
These could be easily used in Excel.
Current block n = 447,800
M = 2^64 -1
q = 2^(-18)
So there should be around 15 104 430 719 645 400 000 atomic units. Dividing by 10^8 we end up with an aproximate number of current BCNs: 151 044 307 196.
I think this number is rather close to the truth considering that the net works for almost 2 years and that estimated number of miners is about 3,000.

According to white paper (section 6.2.3 Excess size penalty) block reward depends not only on block height but also on block size. It is possible that an actually emitted amount is less than expected with calculations above because penalty is applied to big blocks. This is the way they protect the chain from tx spam.
Another issue is the estimated number of miners. I guess that 3000 is the number of CPUs working at the same time. Some early miners have probably already switched to Primecoin or are not mining at all. So actual number of stakeholders should be >3000. But we don't know for sure about botnets' involvment into BCN mining.
i think this really is an interesting project - so do not get me wrong.
if 1 million bcn are worth 0,2 btc - the project with already 150bn coins in existence is worth around 30.000 btc, that is somewhat above protoshares/counterparty and slightly below namecoin. if the price would be 1/10th of that I would probably buy some but that is somewhat sick high.
anyway interesting project - I keep following and probably mine some for myself
any calculation wrong?
With such a features plus not Bitcoin fork - it can (and i hope will) worth much more than 0,2 btc per 1 million.if 1 million bcn are worth 0,2 btc - the project with already 150bn coins in existence is worth around 30.000 btc, that is somewhat above protoshares/counterparty and slightly below namecoin. if the price would be 1/10th of that I would probably buy some but that is somewhat sick high.

We should know somehow the grade of decentralization. The situation with bytecoin seems reminding bitecoin. But looks like Bytecoin early adopters is a huge amount of users and those 150 bn bytecoins distributed well between them. That is really good, because seems not only one person own the market. But we can`t know for sure because of network anonymity.
P.S. What is the difficulty now? Is is worth to solo on 1 CPU? What`s about ARM mining?
wow guys
you are true crypto sherlocks!

still not sure with the decimals - can somebody verify that the atomic units do not equal the coins?
atomic unit is the smallest possible nr. so 1 atomic unit = 0.00000001 BCN
BCN = ByteCoiN or Bytecoin CryptoNote?
I guess the name used is some sort of Anagram like Nakamoto.
Only found a reference where the name was mentioned in #bitcoin-wizards, http://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/wizards/2014-03-15.txt
They also mentioned the user ByteCoin which i linked to earlier. The PGP thing is somewhat interesting but without a key it cannot be decoded.
One thing is clear, they waited till the code was ready to go public

I checked the tor site (nd4hymhii2vsjvmp.onion) found by pozmu
There's one more mystery
Any ideas?
And the author of whitepaper- Nicolas van Saberhagen is not mentioned in the Internet too.

how many coins i mine with an phenom II X4 945 3ghz for day?
You should check this wiki article https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
thanks, but on that article i can check only the hashrate of my cpu. How can i know, instead, the number of coins?
this is not a coin to mine if you want to know the exact number of coins but solomining with 10hps is still a GO!!
blocks are around 131.700 bytecoins

Another thing i just stumbled on is they mentioned a meeting somewhere in London around Sept. 2012. Around the same time there was a Bitcoin Conference in the same city.

I heard something about timekoin. I think it was dead before its birth. How was it connected to satoshi?
And .edu project? Do you mean bytecoin was done by students?
And .edu project? Do you mean bytecoin was done by students?
TimeKoin is still running (3 years old) and the guy who started it was knightmb (google that name). I said "connections" not connected.. The group of devs around these coins seems to know each other and helped along with problems/bugs etc. And a .edu project would make sense as ByteCoin/CryptoNote is developed by a "team' and some of the names lead to academic research pages and white papers about cryptography. Students can be but my guess is more like some Professors in Computer Research and Cryptography. .edu's are also known for having secret society's ...
Check also this user, called ByteCoin who helped solving much of the problems Bitcoin had in the early days and talkes about features that are active in..... Bytecoin

ps. in my background search to know more about this coin i also stumbled upon timekoin.org , another vague old coin that has "connections" to satoshi and bytecoin. Interesting stuff that got burried by the media hype around bitcoin itself. Also the website bytecoin.org has only for a few months content on it (by going to internet archive) and looks some sort of a .edu project from around the world. I guess it was ByteCoin's / CryptoNote's plan to go "public" now the code is ready for adoption. Github sources etc are only online for a few months.
