I only have 2 peers connected. Are any others available?
Pretty quiet. Only a few of us about. I've got ipv4 and ipv6 nodes running 24/7 at:
Code:
178.79.133.60:6333
[2a01:7e00:e000:86b:4ad3:2c87:17a3:1a36]:6333


The machine this node is on gets its IP address changed at least once daily. Will this be a problem?  TIA and thanks for your efforts in getting this coin up and running again. Please provide an address where I can leave a token of my appreciation. Now all we need is to get it listed on an exchange.
Most home internet providers give out dynamic ipv4 addresses (change at random times), that shouldn't be a problem. If you running a node 24/7 then it would be helpful to open up port 6333 (presuming you've kept the default port) so outside nodes can connect to yours; otherwise your firewall will block them.

If you want to to donate; but really I'm the only one mining at the moment so it's not like I've got a shortage of bytecoins.  Smiley

P.S. Is there a block explorer for BTE available?
Not that I know of. None of the links on bytecoin.biz work anymore. I'll try to get one up and running, but probably be cobbled together quickly and buggy, so expect too much.


By the way, does anyone know who runs bytecoin.biz?

Sent some BTE and it now has 5 of 6 confirmations so looks like send is working OK as long as mining is ongoing.

Never knew who was running bytecoin.biz but always suspected it was Ahmed Bodi or one of his associates. He used to point what was then a big ASIC at BTE and ran up well over 100k coins. Quite annoying at the time as the difficulty used to skyrocket and  if you didn't have lots of hash power you had to wait for the difficulty to drop again to do any mining.
