Day 3. InstallationAt first I must say that I solo-mine and trade BCN and FLT already. I began to use them before the idea of the experiment occurred to me. Also I have BTC, LTC, MMC and YAC, and I used DOGE, XPM, XIV, CPR, SBC etc. I started as a gambler, it is.
So I want to talk with you about installations the coins.
Bytecoin (BCN). Yesterday BCN devs announced "Easy setup bundle for the beginners". Install-file (with blockchain!) weighs 1.44 Gb. BCN dont use UI and work with the command line only. First synch runs for about 5-8 min (455 177 blocks of transactions history). I launched BCN and created the wallet very quickly (thanks to Read me and how-to in unoff-thread).

The wallet looks standard. There isnt Read me in install folder, I think it can be a problem for some. Also I didnt found how-to in off-thread. The wallet is translated more than 30 languages.

There isnt Read me in install folder, the wallet looks standard (only English). I dont understand why the wallet doesn't have Italian. There is link to how-to in off-thread, its very good.

The wallet is made in mint style and translated into Russian only. 666 p. of off-thread, 238 thousand blocks and only 1 language maybe community isn't active, maybe marketing is very active? On the other hand MINT is very user-friendly (Read me, how-to etc).

Write comments and have a nice weekend!
