i now have a pool pretty much setup i just need a miner to test it, would any of you guys be up for it?
Does it take stratum?
Details?
Perhaps a URL for instructions?

ASICs got us there and they can get us out too.
Once they are widely accessible, someone will point them to Bytecoin for sure. I will, when I get mine...

I have the ASIC, but no where to point it.

if you'd be able to code a p2pool for merge mining bytecoin rather than bitcoin along with the other coin's ill host it on my vps
EDIT: looks like the owner of my server has decided to shut it down and leave, ill increase the instance size of my ec2, but would anyone be willing to provide some bitcoins or bytecoins to help fund a new server,

I have looked at the blockchain. The current difficulty level started at block 18144 on May 5. There have been 245 blocks mined since then, a very small number.
I try to think of ways to repair this. One way that has come to mind is to backtrack in the block chain before block 18143 and to fork the blockchain. I assume that a single block mined as a fork on block 18,143 would reset the difficulty to about 512, instead of the current 35794, and then mining would be possible for the currently active mining community.
It should be possible to set the miner so that the forked chain pays out to the same miners as the original chain, so that miners get replacement coins for the ones that are obliterated.
The only transactions this would disrupt are for coins in blocks 18144 through 18228 (18388-160), a total of 84 blocks.
I don't know how many transactions this would disrupt. It should be possible to parse the blockchain and learn that answer, but I have not done it.
Setting the chain back further would obliterate the coins that were mined by the disrupter, but would require deeper analysis to minimize the disruption to everyone else.

You should already be able to merged mine like that. Try it with p2pool. No fork needed.

When I am able to learn C++, I will code a merge mining patch. Yeah, it breaks Bytecoin's ideals of being a Bitcoin copy, but it will have to do.
Or I can couple with someone's hosting plan and set up a merge mining pool where Bytecoin is the master, and Ixcoin, Namecoin, and Devcoin are the slave coins. Basically bitparking but switch out Bitcoin for Bytecoin. Leaves Bytecoin ideals intact, while getting the other coins.

I will have as much as 30 GH/s to put on it any day now. I'm thinking I will only mine blocks when there is a transaction that needs confirming. I should be able to outrace the griefers who are mining and orphaning the chain.
That should clean things up without merged mining. It should drop the difficulty back to where it was without the ASIC-griefer's interference.
I am curious what blocks the difficulty has changed at. Seems to me I though the difficulty would drop a few hundred blocks ago.
I also have a 30 GH/s rig I will also throw at it. With both of our rigs combined, if I could get the merge mining patch, making Bytecoin the masterchain to ixcoin, devcoin, and namecoin, we could probably successfully fork the blockchain. Bytecoin currently isn't a mirror of Bitcoin. It is everything Bitcoin is, except for the fact that it isn't a master to those currencies, and cannot be merge mined with them...yet.

It's synced but will produce errors when it can't find a block in so many minutes. Or maybe you can't find nodes. Mines been off for a while
July 03, 2013, 03:41:34 PM
Mine cannot even sync properly

It's not dead, just needs to be merged mined.

"Bytecoin died, or not to died, that is the question".
Sucks, I was left with 1000+ BTE.

Presumably, it acts just exactly like bitcoin. April Fool's joke or not, it is technically viable and operational.
This is true. Only problems are ASICs playing games with the diff and convincing the community it's worth using/mining. July 03, 2013, 01:47:52 PM
Just found a block! We are starting to get back on track with this coin.
hello all
could you help me ?
I cannot get to http://forum.bytecoin.in/ nor http://www.bytecoin.in
last week I lost 26 LTC in ugly scam of LTC-wallet.com and it still hurts.
Therefore I would like to know, Can we trust this project?
When it was released in the time of BTC peak valuation to USD and with name almost same as bitcoin?
Does someone from you know personally the founders and developers? Are main intentions of existence of this project good?
Is it not only greed of certain individual/s who would like to squeeze every little penny from bitcoin's April bubble for their enrichment?
e.g. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2184623
I apologize if my post would offend someone but I just cannot find many trustworthy information about this project on web right now.
One of the bitcoin developers downloaded the bytecoin source and compared it with the reference bitcoin source. The only differences were the bitcoin --> bytecoin change, and the prefix "1" --> "8".
