Haha yeah. It's the doppelganger.
The only copycoin that is not in denial.

It does seem to be one of those coins that won't go away.. hopefully for good reason 
I've sold some of my bytes here and there, but I'm still sitting on most of what I mined at this point. I've been experimenting with pool software yet again, and I'm considering opening a public pool for BTE again but I'm not at all sure if I would attract any users. Does anyone know if there are any BTE pools still out there running these days? Would anyone be interested in pool mining this coin again or are most of the miners here happy to do solo?

CoinEX is both a pool and an exchange. They support stratum mining. stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9022
http://bte.crypto-expert.com/ is ahmed_bodi's pool. I believe he is moving it, perhaps he will post some details.
I have a private copy of eloipool running in a virtual machine, I am sure someone could bring another pool up running it.

True but you have to have a large bank roll. They're greedy, once they finish you out, they're gone. They have no loyalty.
Isn't that similar to merged mining but much worse?¡¡ That's an attack.. there's no leveling at all!
I've been watching the situation. The share pool changes every minute. The pool is at https://coinex.pw/. Register there for your worker and password, and direct your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9944
for SHA-256 coins.
It seems to put hashpower in the high profitable coins, and many people then dump the coins, bringing the buy price down and lowering the profitability. This seems to bring all the highest coins to a similar price --- it levels all the coins through the market.
I did place a buy order at a fairly high value yesterday, and made BTE one of the high return coins. It was in the rotation for several hours, then someone filled my order. The share pool's scheduler responded to an order of 1,000 coins. I did not try smaller orders.
But once they finish the profitable orders, they are gone leaving difficulty through the roof. Merged mining is constant, stable and solid.
You can place "buy" orders and call them back to work. You can remove "buy" orders if the difficulty appears in danger of rising.

All it took is only 9 hours to wait. According to what people say it is not the worst case (could have taken take up to 1-2 days!) 
Thanks for the explanation.
Haven't heard of the sharing pool yet. Quick googling didn't give me the answer either. Where can I read about it?
This is my transaction: http://bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com/tx/9e0623c88c0c09414be097dcdf1f700cb2d9419b9108603f953707f0dbcd4ebf
I had found it in the block explorer before posting, but I couldn't figure out out of it much time is left.

I initiated a transaction two hours ago and it has seen 0 confirmations out of 6 necessary as yet.
Is it normal for BTE? Or is it an interference from BYC?

You can find the current block number at the block explorer.
Recently, BTC had 5 TH/s of hashpower directed toward it, and the difficulty rose. Then that hashpower was removed, and block confirmations have slowed significantly. The current block rate is about 15 / day, or about 18 hours for a confirmation.
Yesterday, a trial version of a sharing pool was announced. I expect this to level the hash power brought to alt coins, and for this problem to be resolved fairly soon.

anybody on CoinEx?
last block 15 hrs ago??? s/b every 10 mins...
too high diff? too many miners gone?
no reply on CE Chatbox either

Last block 36751 about 34 minutes ago.
my client is not syncing. what is going on, does anyone know?
It's been 4 hours since the last block, 36753, was found. The client shows as not synced when that happens.
I'm pointing about 57 GH/s toward BTE, so there should be a minimum of 1 block / day.
ohhh, ok that makes perfect sense. synced now, thank you for that explanation. Saved me much .conf tweaking and node searching.

It looks like block 36604 pays directory to the miners in the generated coins block. Who is this pool?
P2Pool pays directly to the miners in the generated block.
Edit: Just checked, P2Pool.org did generate block 36604.
