Diff adjusted recently

I have to agree with you on that. Lets keep the chain safe

I think the most important thing is security of the blockchain. Without that, the coin is worthless.
Network hashrate is only about 80GH/s. It would be trivial at the moment to 51% attack the chain.

We need more consistent decentralized hashrate. Don't be surprised if someone blasts the coin's diff into orbit, then abandons it, leaving the chain stuck.

You got it!! Thanks again

How about posting your node IP so the rest of us can connect?

That's really good to know great info. What other things can be done to improve this coins usability and wide spread?

Just a tip for the person mining lots of coins to the same address at the moment.
You need to regularly consolidate those coins to another address once matured.
The reason behind this is because trying to send coins from an address with hundreds/thousands of inputs will inevitably be too large a transaction size to send.

You got it!! Thanks again

You built Bytecoin from the main branch instead of a version release. The warning isn't present if you checked out v27.0.2 and built from there.
I think there is only one git commit difference between the two anyway, so don't worry about the message.

I see this warning when running bytecoind -daemon

getblockchaininfo                {                                               "chain": "main",                              "blocks": 78296,                              "headers": 78296,                             "bestblockhash": "000000000000414e890fcd8d87efa8066f50b3c624476338973b4f5422ca8a97",        "difficulty": 5436.852907928366,              "time": 1717950999,                           "mediantime": 1717937749,                     "verificationprogress": 1,                    "initialblockdownload": false,                "chainwork": "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004d904d9bfbf7fc3e7",            "size_on_disk": 52907765,                     "pruned": false,                              "warnings": "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications"                  }

Any problems with that warning?

49 BTE for finding a block (which you will), and 1 BTE fee taken for pool usage.

Yes that's a sha256 rig, it will work.


Point the miner at:
stratum+tcp://bytecoin.pool.chainspy.com:3001
username =
password = x

Cool you're right let me ask you one more question if you don't mind?

You think this rig works based on your calculations?

Can you provide screenshots/tutorial on how to completely setup the mining process?

Super appreciate it and all your efforts into this

Where's the fun in that? The mining diff is so ridiculously low, just mine some...

I'll give you a load of testnet BTE ones if you want though.

Hi sorry for asking but would you be so kind to donate some BTE?

Awesome!!! Thanks for the response I'll take a look into that site to see what can I rent out, ill keep you posted

The formula is quite easy:
time = difficulty * (2^32) / hashrate

Time is in seconds, which is 600 for a 10 minute block target.
2^32 = 4294967296



Rearranging the formula for your question gives us:
hashrate = difficulty * (2^32) / time

Hi can I ask how did you calculate that? I want to start mining today following your instructions

Got v 27 up and running on another computer. You should e able to see it on your machines. Still having problems getting my old hardware to work with v 27 but continue keeping at it.

Don't like enabling UPnP on any windoze  machine. Too dangerous.

Checked some older BTC core builds and it did have deletion for receiving address. Don't know when that changed.

Got a very quick Bytecoin Block Explorer up and running.

It's very basic and boring. No fancy graphics.
Don't expect too much. Make too many requests and it will probably crash the site.

Yes. Most users won't need to use that file anyway.
You can create it if you wish to set some configuration settings, like RPC user and password for example on startup.


I'm not sure. This has happened to mine as well, when I just tested the migration tool.
I think the old wallet contained some old format of addresses, perhaps just some in very early "pubkey" format used in earlier mining; and the migration has converted them over.
You can just ignore them or create new addresses if your receiving in future. Don't think there's an option to delete them.


I don't think it's suppose to. It's more like a sending address book list, not a transaction list.
This is where a browser block explorer comes in handy. (See next post).
Remember a bytecoin transaction can contain many inputs, (and many outputs), so it might not be just one sending address that was used.


Probably guessing the easiest way is to make sure that in Settings > Options > Network; UPnP and NAT-PMP mapping are checked. Oh, and allow the incoming connections setting as well of course.
Then go into your home ISP router/modem and check one or both UPnP and NAT-PMP are switched on inside that too.
The port should be automatically opened for you.

Don't spent too much time on this. If you can't do it, don't worry about it.
