Re: [BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012

BCN with its stories about Cicada is indeed hell of a mistery.

If "hell of a mistery [sic]" means complete fabrication, then yes.


Those stories are not fabricated. So disappointed that one of the old miners has changed his opinion about BCN.

Well Agent99 since we go way back to almost the beginning I'll say this. Maybe someday some evidence will come to light and I'll be proven wrong. I always have an open mind about these things. So it is possible. So far I don't see it. Evidence points strongly to a premine scam with a fabricated backstory as marketing gloss. But I'm open to being convinced.


I've got your point of view. Since I don't see anything accept FUDers here I can't agree with the view about ''strong premine scam''.
Indeed, there are some doubtable moments but I strongly believe that BCN despite the reputation it has now will become more popular soon and at that moments I would be a holder of some coins and would use it for buying/selling goods and services.
 

The FUD is justified because of how easy it probably is to provide just a single shred of proof of an economy. Frankly the lack of activity in this thread says enough. Thanks for cutting away at the last string I had to hold onto the hope that maybe a "perfect financial instrument" can even exist.

Pretty funny you decided to single my post out. I clearly had no intentions to convince anybody. It was strictly for my own affirmations. Should have expected it would piss off a few cynics.

Just throwing this one out there but is it at all possible or likely the "community" is extraterrestrial? I thought they might just be fooling with us about the aliens thing but recent events have been changing my mind on the topic.

Guys!
Somebody hacked my google account so I had to change my email address to drstrange.m@gmail.com
I also have no access to giveaway and now it's temporarily stopped.


Oh my. Sorry to hear. Will this set a precedent for sorting out some security tips? Such as preferred Linux distros and, uh... Paper wallets?

Do developers hold any coins?

Sure they do! So they stay interested in  improving it! Motivated  Wink

how come they havent updated the code since 3 weeks then?
they announced a big update coming soon

Also, the Monero devs instantly copy their code WHILE  PUBLICALLY BAD-MOUTHING THEM...
So maybe the BCN guys need a strategy to deal with rip-off artists.

Zer0Sum, I think you're either delusional or trying to scam...

Are you that depraved you can't imagine anyone seeing the irony in your post?

To be noted is of course that everyone getting in touch with the coin non-anonymously, like through an untrustworthy email provider, will forever be linked with suspicious activity and probably never get the true benefits of the coin. That is to be of the grid in our tyrannical big brother society.

I suspect it could flourish if governments made it their responsibility to protect your information while tracking everyone, keeping the privacy intact between you and I or those competing businesses. Is it possible, or even justifiable for them to do that though? Word seems the NSA is too inundated with information to be considered a feasible means of defense yet.

this coin it been 80% solo

Why in the world would that be viewed as bad?



Do you perhaps think they launched it this way to get more people running full nodes? It's like they want to remind us of decentralization, create a new generation of patriots. But why then are they oddly silent while holding all the stuff?

Actually, that brings up a good point that I didn't think about.

There's people here who actively support Bytecoin .. what do any of you think or make of cryptonote?

Good guys/bad guys .. ?

I mean there was a disagreement between the two communities .. as a supporter of one do you still have interest in the other?

Like if you feel that you support Bytecoin .. do you feel animosity toward CryptoNote (either direct or indirect)?

I support whoever made this code. Thats all.

then by extension you should support the goal of whoever made that code right?

If the goal is to take down banks, yes.

The ultimate goal of cryptonote team members is massive adoption of their technology. I dont see a massive adoption of a premine coin such as Bytecoin happen anytime soon. TBH, the market has already decided that MRO is cryptonote coin that matters for now. It is also the most technologically relevant today as most of its update comes from MRO.



Massive giveaway = massive adoption. I wouldn't be surprised to learn of measures preventing the mining teams from keeping any for themselves to dump.

Hello,

I was going through and Bytecoin (BCN) has been submitted to Coins Source. So i'm in the process of reviewing BCN.


I would greatly appreciate a Bytecoin logo (Just the symbol) that's in a dark color and is at least 200px in width and height, ideally 300x300 BCN symbol image.


Send the logo to: coins@coinssource.com or hop in www.coinssource.com, chat in lower right corner.



Thank you!

Bytecoin BCN - the mysterious 2nd gen coin has been reviewed and ranked on Coins Source

http://www.coinssource.com/crypto-coins/bytecoin-bcn/


Cheers, i think it scored higher then Monero :O



That site lists DRK above both BCN and XMR.

Not as unbiased as it would seem Grin. I love it, even if we're still using the "premine" buzzword instead of making conjecture. Excellent work.

Old community army is coming at us? Lol.

So, been mining much in 2012?

I am shocked. Where was that old community before??
I believe there are first team to mine BCN and that's actually describe everything. Before woildboy's statement that he is one of the first miner I was sure they wouldn't like to be recognize. I mean that's clear that guys who like anonymity were interested in this coin and so they are still in shadow as Satoshi. But this user has ruined my vision

I too am skeptical they would have just approached people about it like this. Maybe there's more he was told about and can't share just yet, but if that's all they said I don't believe it. It wouldn't match up with the story about teams and destruction keys. I'm considering the possibility these teams could only participate if each member agreed to keep (most of?) their coins in a wallet that can be destroyed (maybe by other teams) if procedure was somehow broken.

Re: [ANN][BBR] Boolberry [ANONYMOUS | CRYPTONOTE] 2 EXCHANGES

Could someone confirm hashrate with an Amazon EC2 32CPU instance please? I was getting approx 1,300,000 (if I remember correctly). Is this in the right ballpark?

You are referring to c3.8xlarge ?

Yes, c3.8xlarge.

I've seen this given as the hashrate to blocks calculation:
hashrate*86400/difficulty=blocks per day

If that is correct, one 32CPU EC2 (c3.8xlarge) instance at Amazon with 1,000,000 hashrate and difficulty 139,885,237,143 gives:

0.6 blocks per day.
10BBR per day.
0.015BTC per day.
Given $670 per BTC, you've mined $10 worth.
And you've given Amazon $40 for the privilege.

That's a $30 loss.... Where have my calculations gone wrong?!

Typical miners concerned only with selling now and not holding  Roll Eyes

Renaming is canceled due to copyright issue.
Sorry.

No harm done. More chance to consider some monosyllabic names. Believe it or not I was gonna suggest "Splex" last night which is freakishly close to what you decided. The domain was taken though.

Guys, what premine? What are you talking about?
How stupid should be devs to take 80% of ALL coins? It's imposible to dump such a massive amount. It's hard to dump even 100 mil now, not 150 bil.  Even a schoolboy understands this =)

Again, I'll be appalled if it isn't given out someway. Is anyone here affluent in monetary economics? How reasonable is it they just don't want it emitted by mining like Bitcoin?

Just decide for christ stake. Keep it or change it. But decide !

And hire someone to market your coin, you are doing a horrible job.

This. Can we just put it to a vote?

Or at least use a vote to help make the final decision?

Moneta (a Goddess of wealth)

Moneta sounds good but its too much about money. Same thing as Plutus (the greek god of wealth); perhaps the name should be something more

Plus it sounds a lot like Monero.

it doesn't matter, Monero as word already existed before too

Let's not forget Monetas (http://monetas.net/) is an already existing product in the crypto-currency realm. It's essentially a commercial implementation of the long established Open-Transactions (http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) project. Having Moneta the CryptoNote based coin side to side with Monetas the Open-transactions 'coin' will create a fair bit of confusion.

Please developer, choose a name or make it clear you wish to keep the honeypenny or bulberry pimpernackel etc which everyone will just have to accept (I think most have just gotten used to it by now anyway) so the project can advance towards exchange listing.

hmm you are right, also I think the dev has a good bunch of new names to choose already.

I'm not sure how after all this time they haven't just come up with their own...

It just can't be true - it would raise hell within the old community who's got lots of coins already.
No one would be pleased if his coins he'd mined ages ago are suddenly destroyed.

Maybe if they don't comply with contributing to the giveaway or something they'll have theirs destroyed.
