Hey everyone,
I have a quick question about the wallet.
This may be a super noob question, I have recently installed the Bytecoin wallet.
But, I don't seem to be able to get it to download the blockchain to completion. Am I just being basic?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hey guys im having a problem and I am hopeful someone here has an easy fix.
I had an amount of Bytecoin sent to my wallet last week. It didnt show up even though it was confirmed and I have checked the address about 10 times with different people checking it again even though I copied and pasted it to begin with.
I have tried resyncing the wallet as I think it might have been out of date. It showed that it had resynced however nothing showed up and it was showing the wrong date.
I then closed the wallet and reset my computer to attemped the 3 day long sync again. When I try to open it now I just get an error message "Blockchain load error".
I have moved to a different computer and tried the same process and it was stuck on 11 Aug 2014 19:57 for more then a day. So I reset the computer and when I open it back up it is saying that it is synced which it definitly hasnt as there is no Bytecoin in there. I am now attempting this on another computer in the hopes that a faster internet connection can assist in this matter.
Has anyone else had a problem like this?
Is there a way I can force the wallet to resync?
Is there somewhere that I can download the blockchain directly?

Hi what version do you have, 1.1.5 ?
A friend a I had the same, we send some coins but they never showed in our wallet.
So I googled it, and someone on Reddit said, if you run 1.1.5 version you have to download the 1.1.4 version (fully synced)
After this, our coins showed up.... give it a try... and let us know if this worked for you ok.
good luck!

Hey Bytecoin People! Quick question: I've searched around quite a bit already on this but have not found a solution.
I just want to very SIMPLY and QUICKLY generate a bytecoin address AND PRIVATE KEY to stash away a small BCN stake, long-term in COLD paper wallet.
Haven't you guys set up something to JUST do that, yet? Very simple and quick? Something like MyEtherWallet for ETH or BitAddress for BTC?
I mean, srsly even the gawd-awful Cloak coin has ported-over a quick simple paperwallet generator page (from BitAddress source --
https://paperwallet.cloakcoin.com/ -- apparently)
And you guys are srsly expecting new/casual users to download your entire blockchain and use the command-line wallet ONLY to do this simple thing???
C'mon... LOL
A simple clean paper wallet generator ought to have been the FIRST THING to do on your list!!!
So IS there one SOMEWHERE, I have missed?

Hi,
I am having problem with the Bytecoin wallet 1.1.0, the synchronization is taking way too long than expected. is there any official blockchain data available to download please let me know
If anyone has downloaded the latest version please let me know how much time it takes to finish the synchronization
Thank you

Is this new wallet open source because I never download crypto-related binaries, and most serious crypto investors are the same. It's much too dangerous.
LOL, on the main Bytecoin thread all you scream is this coin is a scam, and in here you sound like an interested supporter ...... its obvious that your only interested if the wallet is open source... aren't you one of the XMR dev ?
I am part of the Monero Core team. I also have mined BCN on various occasions and I still have some. I won't use anything for any crypto that is not open source though and that has nothing to do with BCN or XMR.

Nice work.
Even though I am not a fan of Bytecoin, this wallet looks really cool, so congrats on getting it out.

Hi Jimbo, the address book is stored separately. In the next releases we're going to significantly improve its security.
Thanks for the info.

This is great!
Downloaded wallet, ran once.
Downloaded blockchain files and shoved in my appdata>roaming>bytecoin folder.
Ran again - took a couple of minutes to sync.
Got my free Bytecoin from the bytecoin site. It appeared in locked instantly and then unlocked in a couple of minutes!
Well done! Great work!
btw - what files exactly do I need to backup on the new wallet?
Edit: Silly Jimbo - just noticed the 'backup' option under file - so it just backs up the .wallet file.
Next silly question! Does this file store the address book as well?

hey, is there any possibility to mine just right from the bytecoin wallet?
i don't see this function in the wallet, but i want it to be there. bytecoin gui miner would be so damn cool
if there is no mining feature in the bytecoin wallet now, bcn devs, do you plan to add it in the future? i think it is very very good to have "start mining now!" button in the wallet near the balance dashboard.

well yeah, GUI miner sounds great, but I'm against shoving it inside the wallet, that would be too much. The wallet looks elegant and easy now, but throwing the miner inside of it.. erm, that'd be overkill IMHO.
My PC froze twice because of your GUI!!! 
Get more RAM, and more diskspace. CN isn't as lean as Bitcoin (if BTC blockchain still gets called like that)
Damn I didin't think of that, thx. I guess I need another 2Gb.
Thanks, man!

I encountered such an effect.
As a matter of fact GUI doens't consume too much. But during full synchronization it can.
Just close it (normally, don't kill) and restart. You can do this even in the middle of synch - it will significantly reduce memory requirements.
I've tried before, same thing happens. So maybe it's all about my PC
gonna find out soon. Thanks anywayI think you need 850-1200MB of RAM for the wallet. First run or wallet takes the highest number 1200MB.
