Topic: [BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread - page 22. (Read 80193 times)

I have an old 0.81 BTE wallet that I have tried with some of the bytecoin.conf changes posted here, but it still will not connect to other nodes. Any help appreciated. TIA.

I can help you with your HTML CSS and Javascript.

I'm considering this path.

This reminds me - if we bring ByteCoin back from the dead what should it be called? Maybe OBC = Original ByteCoin ?

Don't get BTE (BitSerial) confused with the original BTE (ByteCoin). The work in this thread is to get the original ByteCoin back online.

Where can I buy BTE? Current price is 0.001? So, 100 coins is 1 cent? That's a deal!

Kudos prof!

Again kudos to you ProfMac, for a one man band you're doing a simply amazing job!

I am doing some testing.  When I am satisfied, I will put the source on GitHub and make an announcement in this thread.  I hoped to be finished by last April.

Can you share your code here so I can better understand. Thanks

No.  All of the approaches that try to adjust the difficulty after the fact are working in the wrong part of the system.
I tentatively have a way to exclude blocks that are strip mined, and never include them in the block chain at all.  Then the difficulty does not have such wild excursions.

I see the charts but do not really understand, are you saying that instead of the difficulty staying at the high point sfter "fast miners" left, the difficulty should be adjusted to a average difficulty number lower than the actual difficulty which is "high"?

I have done some analysis on the early blockchain, with a view of preventing strip-mining.

A .png of some of the graphs are at the link below.

I am confident that I am on good theoretical footing, and I am midway through modifying the client.

SIMPLE STATS STARTED MINING OCTOBER LAST YEAR ACCUMULATED ABOUT 5000..

HOWEVER IN THE 20 DAYS I HAVE BEEN ON      http://bytecoin.pt/

AND THAT HAS PAID ME 2000.. DO THE MATHS.... PAYS A MILLION TIMES HIGHER THAN MINERGATE AND THE POOL OWNER IS VERY ACTIVE AND HELPFUL... LOW USER AND HIGH REWARDS :p COULDNT RECOMMEND ENOUGH

The DNS entry is live now.  I did not reach a block explorer when I tried.

I have an environment that will build a VirtualBox machine, build Ubuntu Trusty 14.04, install support software, and build the Satoshi client for Ubuntu.  Some of this is correctly pushed to my git.

While this is good for individual work and good preparation for a public cooperative effort, it needs more.  The bitcoin developers have an environment that builds the clients and checks the sha256 checksums of the binaries so that the group can authenticate a build from public sources.

I got their environment to work once, but I can't seem to duplicate that process now that some time has passed.

Much of this is on my git.  If you have experience with the bitcoin development environment, I wish you would help produce scripts that will build the Linux, Windows, and other clients so that a group of developers can verify the authenticity of our Bytecoin binaries.  As of summer 2017, the bitcoin developers were using Trusty.  I spent many weeks getting a preseed file to work with Trusty, and never created one for 16.04 that satisfied me, so please don't publicly "modernize" my process to 16.04.  However, if you successfully do so privately I would love to correspond with you.

There is a considerable difference in the build environment between bitcoin 0.8.1 and 0.9.x  The latest public Bytecoin build that I have learned of is as below.  I am using this triple of (minerd, eloipool, bytecoin) commits, circa Jan 2014, to develop and test.  My wife died that month and I took a break.  I think I can move the client to 0.9.x relatively quickly, but again, I am working in Trusty 14.04 and 0.8.1.

I have not checked whether successive clean builds from the same git branch produce the same sha256.  I really should do that today.  The question in my mind is whether the time-of-day ends up changing the binaries somehow.




I also have eloipool and minerd, a triple of software that work together in my environment.  Minerd is appropriate when I make a laboratory test chain with low difficulty to test software.

I am preparing an announcement.  As part of that preparation, I hope there is a place where people can download the software.  If you know of such a place, please post current information here.

Possibly useful items are:

1.  The Satoshi client
2.  A block explorer
3.  Any current mining pools.

When I make the announcement, it will be very quiet, but also very clearly public.  I will not answer questions before the announcement.

I need someone to helpme out making this coin relevant again. Someone with strong marketing skills

Yeah I've only got one of the old block erupters left from the early days. Just kept one for posterity I'd like to get my feet wet again but not sure what to buy, or the profitability. Having said that, with current BTC price those 20 erupters I ran ages ago did what everyone said they wouldn't - I go my ROI

Finishing details on the blockexplorer. More updates soon
