This is probably unrelated, but it is worth being extra cautious: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/april-fools-on-me-wallet-wiped-out-bytecoin-client-165497 I always build altcoins from source after auditing the diffs from bitcoin.
There wasn't much difference in the source code with ByteCoin. I don't think it's related through, I've analyzed it and it doesn't try to access Bitcoin's wallet.dat.

I just mined my first 50 BTE!
So where are the software/instructions for solo mining?
The software is linked in the first post of this thread. As for instructions, it is just like solo mining bitcoins.
On windows you run the client in server mode by creating a bytecoin.conf file in your appdata folder.
Follow a guide for bitcoin solo mining.
Sounds kind of funny. Not willing to give specific instructions here? Looks like you're not prepared to promote Bytecoin to the point of helping others mine. Hmmmm.......

Here is a solo mining guide for bitcoin and altcoins, it should be trivial to apply the guide to Bytecoin.
Good luck!
I'm glad my guide has helped anyone

Put it in your sig please.
I have analyzed the exe file, and I have not observed it look for Bitcoin wallet.dat
In addition, I've analyzed the sourcecode and found no shenanigans.

I'm a newcomer to bitcoin so setting up a bytecoin and a CPU miner was an interesting exercise! (Even if somewhat frustrating.)
However I'm not sure I'm going to get any with my measly 3-4 Mhash/s.
By the way, of course everybody realizes that if you download a random exe from a forum like this, there's a possibility that it looks for %APPDATA%/Bitcoin/wallet.dat and sends it somewhere?
Oh yeah... I have a hunch that this thread might be a good place to advertise my bitcoin pyramid link!

I don't think this coin is useless.
It is exactly same as bitcoin, so i don't see reason why would it worth any less.

Even better, there are 12mil BTC and less than 1mil BTE. BTE ought to worth more.

Despite 65 Mhas/s I can't mine any coins, tried solo and pool mining.
Anyone selling 1000 BTE for BTC? PM me please.

Everyone, feel free to inspect both executable and post here any suspicious code. Anyway, feel free to compile your own version based on the github code.
Can you answer my PM?
a simple "I have no idea" would be great.
Thank you.

Well, strictly speaking nothing makes it interesting, as it is a straightforward clone of bitcoin with zero improvements or additions.
One interesting point could be testing bitcoin stability when too many hashpower appears to mine at low difficulty. (Could happen when asics really arrives.)

Very interesting altcoin, watching.

A huge difference is the block reward. You get 50 BTE vs 25 BTC
Bitcoin started with a block reward of 50 BTC.
plus, the block reward does not matter, 500 BTE would mean each BTE is only worth 1/10 as much.
No need to be so rude. I mean for my 18 yr old son who just hear about mining, realizes its almost impossible for him. He has a Gaming alienware laptop, bytecoin.
Right now the difficulty is artificially low due to the 4x diff increase cap, but the block reward doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is the curve, and how much total coins will be mined.
I can make a coin where the block reward is 50 million multicoins, with a total money supply of 50 trillion. Would your 18 year old son mine that?

Haha! 0 x 50 is still 0

No, no it's not... What exactly is interesting about it, or were you just typing any old thing to get someone to send you some pointlessness
