old BCN site:

We are growing: average difficulty reached 100k a few days ago and keeps increasing.
There is a stable growth of the network: we see more and more new connections daily. Also we hope to see you at the community meet-up in the London conference bar to discuss network growing and other important stuff personally. More info via team mails.

Hi, I've uncovered few mysteries behind the Bytecoin's blockchain and other puzzles:

Wow, that is an exceptional job. Thank you for summarizing pretty much everything I guess. How much time did it take?

Just wanted to thank Rias for this thread.
Has the FAQ been updated since it was first posted?
And suggestion, you should put a donation address in the post. You saved me and a lot of others I'm sure a lot of time and frustration condensing much of the quality info. Thanks

One more question about mining. I heard about new bytecoin pool is launched! The name is "Minergate Pool" where can I get more info, and any feedback?
if you are looking for a good feedback watch a discussion here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/minergate-pool-pps-15-pplns-1-zec-eth-etc-btc-ltc-bcn-xmr-qcn-fcn-xdn-528848

I've found a new section on CryptoNote website, the standard transaction generation: https://cryptonote.org/inside.php#standard-transaction
I'm not sure I saw it last time I visited the website.
And a nice pic also:

A standard CryptoNote transaction is generated by the following sequence covered in the white paper.
Bob decides to spend an output, which was sent to the one-time public key. He needs Extra (1), TxOutNumber (2), and his Account private key (3) to recover his one-time private key (4).
When sending a transaction to Carol, Bob generates its Extra value by random (5). He uses Extra (6), TxOutNumber (7) and Carol's Account public key (
to get her Output public key (9).
In the input Bob hides the link to his output among the foreign keys (10). To prevent double-spending he also packs the Key image, derived from his One-time private key (11).
Finally, Bob signs the transaction, using his One-time private key (12), all the public keys (13) and Key Image (14). He appends the resulting Ring Signature to the end of the transaction (15).

fucking awesome scheme!Now everything is clear about standard CryptoNote transactions
Impressed by smooth ! You are our Sherlock indeed, dude!
Nice to see there is independent people who are ready to dig so deep.

Are the unlinkable transactions similar to bitcoin stealth addresses?
Yes they are and it is interesting to note that the original idea comes from a very old post by a user with the nick of ... are you ready for it???
ByteCoin!

Maybe silly question, but what is BTE? 
BTE is an abbr for Bytecoin, another Bytecoin, which is Bitecoin fork only based on SHA256 and have nothing in common with Bytecoin (BCN) except the name.
Wow! I am totally entangled in the scheme!
Very impressive, guys who conceived the idea must be smart asses.

Great summary, thanks! it is told that BCN was well developed from scratch. Does this mean that bytecoin is more thoughtful currency than both BTC and BTE?

I've posted updates on puzzles, CryptoNight, and community opportunities posted at CN forum.
Guys, what would you like to see covered in this FAQ? I'm quite stuck at the moment.

I think the last FAQ in Usage must be updated as it would be added to comkort.com soon
https://comkort.com/blog/news
According to the BCN main thread comkort.com encountered some difficulties implementing Bytecoin and currently contacting it's developers.
I wonder how much time it will take.

"Estimation for BCN integration will be published later. We need some time for investigation."
Yesterday at 18:50
"We don't have estimate yet, but we are working on it. We have many active issues today. Will keep you updated!"
Hmm ... I am curious is the protocol so difficult they can't add BCN to their exchange?
I guess so, would love to see some more info on this from Comkort.
