Not sure what you want... but if you do want an online wallet, you can try https://coinplorer.com/Wallets (still in beta)

Guys i have a question... how to see my BTE Withdrawal Address¡??

thanks...

Only 50 blocks if I count well (we are at block 42265%2015 = 1965, it's an exact Bitcoin clone, isn't?)
3 blocks every day or so... and when the difficulty will finally adjust, everybody will mine it and the diff will jump again...
This currency is definitively dead...

About 71 block until diff adjustment.

Will it be adjusted soon? Last diff change is early february according to https://coinplorer.com/Charts/Difficulty/BTE

that is the correct repo. but diff is insaene

What is the correct github repository? I'm using https://github.com/ahmedbodi/bytecoin right now, but no block in 5 hours...

ByteCoin Bootstrap.dat


bootstrap.dat

bootstrap.dat allows a new Bytecoin client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from a
local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers. This significantly reduces the
time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.

Simply having bootstrap.dat in Bytecoin's expected data directory will make your initial block sync
much faster. The import process can be even faster if you use the -dbcache=1000 command line
parameter which uses an additional 1GB of RAM for the database index cache.

Extracting the bootstrap.dat.xz

Regardless of your operating system, use the following steps to make use of the bootstrap.dat file:

1. Download bootstrap.dat.xz from mirrors or torrent.
2. Decompress the bootstrap.dat.
3. Put it into the Bytecoin datadir. "%appdata%/bytecoin" / "~/.bytecoin"
(This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.)
4. Delete bootstrap.dat.old if you want to recover some storage space.

Bytecoin Data Folder

Linux
Bytecoin's data directory is located in ~/.bytecoin/ by default. You can run ls -a to see
directories that start with a period. You can also search for the directory with the following
command:
Mac
You can obtain xz from MacPorts or http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/.
Bytecoin's data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/bytecoin/.

Windows
7Zip is a free utility that can decompress .xz files, so does the latest version of WinRAR.

Click on Start then Run (or press WinKey+R) and type.

Bytecoin's data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in
Windows.

Copy bootstrap.dat to data directory

Copy the bootstrap.dat to your data directory. Load the Bytecoin client and wait for it to load the
blocks. After loading is complete, the bootstrap.dat will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old at which
point you can choose to delete it.

Interesting. Got 4-5 € in BTC around, invested in bytecoin. Now I'll wait a couple of year and see what will happen

got  it

Quite a few coins are showing signs of life now bitcoin is rising.

Is this coin coming back to life? It's up 200%.

what happens with sha256 coins?? I'm worry

*** 0% Fee *** Stratum *** Vardiff ***

iSpace Mining Pools welcomes ByteCoin into its range of SHA256D mining pools - http://ispace.co.uk

Difficulty adjustment, now 270863.64

Power miners harvesting at low difficulty.

You may wish to sell at a loss on Cryptsy, to make the profitability lower for the power miners.

You can now exchange Bytecoin for REAL Gold, Platinum, Palladium, and Silver @ www.MintageMasterMind.com Check it out!

Haha! This cracked me up. A Bitcoin clone that fully admits it's just a clone.

I like to think of Bytecoin as Bitcoin's evil twin. 

I have a very preliminary idea to deal with the ASIC burst-mine then abandon problem.

Essentially, I would fork the client so that it looks back 2016 blocks, and determines the average difficulty to mine that many blocks in that much time.  It would make a block template with that difficulty, so that when ASICs come online, the difficulty starts going up immediately.  This would reduce the incentive to burst-mine, and reduce the number of blocks in that epoch, so that the official difficulty numbers do not jump as high.

The actual difficulty specification in the mined blocks would not change.  It would appear on later analysis that a series of particularly high difficulty blocks had been mined by happenstance.

When the ASICs abandon the mining, the difficulty begins to drop back to the usual difficulty for that epoch of 2016, even if no other blocks are mined.

The difficulty would be bounded below by the difficulty that would otherwise be assigned for that block.

When only some miners are running this code, the block-chain would fork.  I assume that pirate ASIC miners would run the old blockchain.  However, the new miners would mine to their own fork and outflank the attack.

Old style wallets that are offline for a long time would use the new style chain as the longest chain and use the repaired block-chain without change.

I'm not entirely sure with how eligius manages the payouts, but I believe the answer would be yes.. MPOS is essentially a web front end, which interfaces with a stratum mining server and requires a database installed which both MPOS and stratum use to track users accounts and shares. Payouts are automated and on a per-user basis.

I currently have two instances running, one privately for my farm and I recently opened one up for a newer alt coin to verify my installation was good enough for public use. You can check that out here if you would like: http://198.53.169.220:4000

MPOS git is here: https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mpos
MPOS documentation is here: https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mpos/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide
you will also need to manually edit a file for proper stratum operation, detailed here: https://github.com/ahmedbodi/stratum-mining/issues/90

Otherwise, installation was fairly straight forward once I figured it out once..

I did not ever make a script to install eloipool, I too had some issues getting eloipool up and running and wound up doing manual installations each time I attempted. Do you recall where you were getting hung up? It's been a while since I used eloipool but I do still have it installed in several VM's and could take a look at my configs if you would like.

Does MPOS allow the payout to individual pool member addresses, in the way that eligius pays out?

Do you have a script that will git the eloipool code, do any apt install , and generally bring eloipool up in a Ubuntu virtual machine?  I have a copy that someone else had patched, and I have never finished an installation from the git source.
