ermm..... i dont even own any mining equipment apart from 1 BE. i'm a pool OP not a miner. So theres you're whole story invalidated. And the reason i think bytecoin should be merged mined is as follows:

1) Provides a sustained hashrate for the life of bitcoin and any other SHA256 coin(basically if everyone leaves bytecoin mining the bitcoin network is still there to keep it running)

2) Fixes the diff problem resulting in 3 hour long blocks

3) After the fix makes it easier for adoption as a currency. No company in their right minds would wait 3+ hours for a single confirm with bytecoin. The merged mining patch makes it a real contender to win the alt race

How about this? block 21K i will set the fork for. and if everyone agrees i'll releease it

look, 18 blocks in the last 24 hours,
http://bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chains

I am seeing a blockchain that is far from dead there ^ although I cannot confirm that the block height is accurate here because I am not connected to the Qt client at the moment.

If it is indeed acurate, it is just mooving a bit slower than you may desire, indeed do something to help if you feel like you must.

As a Self proclaimed skilled pool Operator, why not take your strings of thoughts going on here and focus on the pool to bring the Hash power to BTE?

Who are the people currently mining Bytecoin? Do they know about this? If this patch is released, the current miners will be drowned out by the Bitparking merged miners, so it is important that their consent is obtained first. Otherwise, this action is equal to an attack.

Mr. Bodi,

I am against any sort of a merged mining patch at this moment.

I think you are going in the right direction by setting up a mine pool to get more resources for the current blockchain.

You are trying to make it a tag a long when, remember this is for a more mature audience.

Let the Hash battles evolve a bit and see where this will lead.

Just saying

because bytecoin is a coin i care about which i've been spending money on creating custom pool software for it. Anyone who's used my pool's has seen the software on them change daily as i try out before deploying it on the bytecoin pool. If you guys dont trust me ask Digigami who runs the bytecoin P2Pool. unsure if i've still got the URL but it should be at bte1.crypto-expert.com or bte2.crypto-expert.com

I use the pool; it works stable until for an unknown reason they close the pool. Huh

Suspicion Confirmed ill fire my pool up tonight or tomorrow morning. We share 6-7 servers between us for pool's one suffered a hardware failure so im guessing he replaced my server with his p2pool server. Although he hadnt told me so i wasnt too sure

movellan as i said im not scheming i wont gain anything either since i dont mine. . Its legit miners who are getting punished due to the high diff. either way i have a pool so i earn money from the fee's a merged mining patch benefits the miners and the coin as a whole. Since it will become usable as a coin

It's not a matter of trust. You are wasting your time. If you do get some coder to force a fork in the blockchain, you will only succeed in screwing up BTE for the current conventional miners.

If you want Bytecoins, buy the hardware and mine some like the rest of us. Scheming to corrupt a coin so you can profit without having to do the legwork may get you ahead a bit, but you'll regret it later.

Remember what happened with the last guy who wanted to fork the BTE blockchain?

Bytecoin needs more pools and a good dedicated exchange.

You are focusing your energy on the wrong target.

Bytecoin is perfect as it is. Just keep mining and STFU!

Maria.

And you can add a Dev. To the adding list. Grin

crypto-expert.com the majority of the coins on there arent enabled yet tho

This doesn't make any sense.

1) You say your personal hashing power is limited to 1 block erupter.

2) You run what appears to be a startup pool that currently hosts 3 alt coins, only one of which has hash stats/miners.

3) You are promoting forking the blockchain of a coin you neither mine nor host on your pool.

By your own admission you don't appear to be involved with Bytecoin at all. Why all the fuss about making changes to BTE?

Right, as many people know i've been planning on working on fixing bytecoin by implementing a merged mining patch. As i can see im almost ready and will put it on testnet in a day or 2. I also have a pool ready which will have merged mining on the backend but i will auto-exchange daily and double up the block reward.
Now here comes you're part:

I would like people's opinion on the following:
1) The Merged Mining Patch
2) Changing the retarget structure so it retargets more frequently, (every 30 mins?)
3) When to hard fork?

1) Good
2) Bad
3) Now

I´m solo mining now, when you have your fork and pool ready i give you a couple GH´s.

Thanks bro, i dont want to hard fork right now since it isnt enough notice and secondly the patch doesnt work properly yet. every merged mined block was rejected. But im not plannning on changing anything to do with the retargets with bitparking hashrate the pool should fly through the blocks

I dont have the power to keep mining. Secondly the network has been on the close to dying. It wouldn't take much for someone to do another attack on the pool. Think of it. Go without the patch and have 13gh with 3 hour blocks. Or take the merged mining patch and have 7.5TH, a lowered diff and a stable network enough to trade on and use

Sounds like what you really mean is you don't have the mining G's to keep up your current BTC level AND solo mine BTE at the same time, so you want to fork the Bytecoin chain to make it convenient for you and a few others to merge-mine both coins. You don't have any regard for current BTE solo miners and a future clean blockchain as long as your scheme can net some quick coins right away.

Leave the BTE blockchain alone and go ply your greed on some alt crapcoin.
