Looking for Bytecoin 32bit, had it, but lost it due to reformat of HDD

I need it back again, cannot find a  32 bit version any where.

Any Bytecoin nodes still active?

A month ago I reported a bug within the Cryptsy API. They have acknowledge the bug and originally promised to implement a fix.

Cryptsy have still not implemented any fix and as such I think it is appropriate to make other community users aware of this.

Other Exchanges have appropriate API implementations which are protected by using hash and API Key values. Each packet is signed and is made unique by using a 'nonce value' - this is an incremental number. This is used to ensure the recieved packet is unique. This is to prevent potential replay attacks ie; reusing messages/packets sent to the API.

Duplicate / non-unique packets should be ignored/dropped by the API. What Crypsty allow is the ability for a malicious user to replay the same message to the API. This would require a malicious user to obtain a copy of your API Key and also the ability to packet capture from your local computer.

It is a relatively low risk attack vector but it's important that Cryptsy address a fix. We have seen other data leakage caused by bugs/vulnerabilities within OpenSSL which could contain sensitive data such as an API Key! If a malicious user was capable of exploiting this they would perform repeated actions using a replay attack.

The difficulty has decreased 4X.
Hashpower has been re-allocated to the chain.

I downloaded wallet now, but not syncing.
Can anyone help ?

I think the merged mining with DMD would only be a short-term solution to a much bigger issue. There would be a rise in price at the beginning, but for long-term growth and success a coin needs services and/or items that can be bought and sold. Without "real-world" uses for a currency, it will always be limited in it's potential.

I think what you have been doing to try and revitalize interest in Emerald is great. I have watched this currency for a few months, but have not mined any until today. It seems to be terribly undervalued, at the moment, and in need of a shot in the arm to get it going again. I am not sure that tying it in with another currency would be the best solution.

The biggest issue, facing Emerald, is the low net hash rate which allows the multipools to manipulate mining. Even with a different difficulty adjustment schedule, this would still be an issue. If more miners are not attracted to the "regular" pools, then multipools will keep mining, then dumping and driving the price down until it is no longer profitable to mine for them. At that point, you have driven away most of your community that was behind it.

Changing algos could help, but there are numerous X11, X13, Groestl, etc coins already on the market and I do not believe that it would make much of a difference in people adopting the currency. The number of good scrypt POW coins is small (and getting smaller as more go to PoS or another algo). I know GPU miners hate the Asics coming in and disrupting their easy mining, but it is really no different than the multipools that are already raping the currency. An asics' user will stay on a pool 24/7 mining a profitable coin (or one they believe has potential) and keep the difficulty fairly even instead creating wild swings like the multipools do.

I believe the best option would be a fork to implement the latest BitCoin core and add a difficulty adjustment schedule to even the peaks and valleys out somewhat. The new BitCoin core has numerous advantages over the LiteCoin core on which Emerald is based. I know a couple of people who might be willing to help in this capacity.

I am willing to help, where I can, to resurrect Emerald. Just send me a PM and we can see what can be done.


@Lesnik - The wallet works great on Win 8.1. Synced right up with no problems. Thanks.

pls send to me some node. thks

Is the wallet on http://emeraldcoin.info/emd-pools/ okay to use?

hey i was looking for a bit of help with my fuelcoin p2pool just wanted to make sure i had everything setup correctly. i am connected and have everything going so that is no longer an issue. i just want to make sure my values are correct.

Use the one you can download from http://emeraldcoin.info/emd-pools/ hosted on Mega.  I believe that's our semi-official website for now.  It's the one I'm using and it works fine.  I think I'd stay away from wallets and block chains individual users post, unless you're really confident in the person (are they active and an authority in that particular coin's community.)  They can cause problems.  And it really doesn't take that long to download a block chain.  Maybe a day or so at worst, unless the coin has problems.  It's worth making sure you get the right one.

I'm pretty sure m0gliE has exactly 2 posts in this thread, one was the block chain and the other was the one you indicated with links to his wallet.  Not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him, just words of caution.  He's not a regular here.
