Dat's ok! If you didn't use bytecoin for a while it will take time. You'd better download the new blockchain from site: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZF4A2BLS!6oS7NFz-pp_MI4YGQhYxLBLisGyr1xsrOfoC_bTLf9U

A lot of work has been done on refactoring Bytecoin Core’s source code. This process started with the version 0.8.11, which had Bytecoin high-level API interface declared for the first time. The newly released Bytecoin Reference Client v.1.0.3 is the next significant updated for the Bytecoin Core.

Here I will explain what has been happening under the Bytecoin's hood and what our technology vision is. This description is crucial to understand Bytecoin’s roadmap and the necessity to pursue its vector.

The v.1.0.3 release notes focus on the following updates:

• In-process INode implementation for applications
• Low-level ITransaction API interface for ordinary and multisig transactions
• Simplewallet migration to high-level API (namely, INode plus IWallet)
• Instant transaction notifications for in-process INode

Purpose of this update

V.1.0.3 is an important milestone on the way to standardize various components' access to Bytecoin network. It is also a requirement for Bytecoin GUI Wallet, which is coming out later this week.

We are currently getting Bytecoin Wallet ready for the release, and have already rolled out the new version of simplewallet. These wallets are very different, as simplewallet doesn't provide real-time interaction and shows only a tiny part of the information that Bytecoin Wallet has. However, both wallets are powered by exactly the same two high-level API interfaces: INode and IWallet. This allows us to greatly unify Bytecoin source code and improve development process efficiency.

What is even more important, the newly updated high-level API gives 3rd party developers the native access to all Bytecoin features. As of now, any developer wishing to create his own native Bytecoin wallet has all the tools available.

We firmly believe that for the vast majority of cases 3rd party developers should operate on the business logics level, not going into technological hardcore. Our high-level API (namely, INode and IWallet interfaces) serves that very purpose. It is much easier to operate with from inside a C++ application than the classical bytecoind and simplewallet REST API. It gives access to all main Bytecoin features in a convenient and comprehensible way. For example, you don't need to take care of an instance of simplewallet running in the background to power your GUI wallet. Business can focus on the user experience and let IWallet work out-of-box! And in case you need to have a higher level of control over CryptoNote protocol, utilize low-level ITransaction interface instead of high-level IWallet.

By introducing such a level of abstraction, we greatly simplify the experience of applications developers that work with Bytecoin. Our high-level API is a single point of responsibility. In case you need a method that is not yet provided, you may contact Bytecoin Support and have it implemented in the upcoming releases.

Thanks for your feedback! The next Bytecoin release will be available in early April.

Bytecoin Roadmap

Bytecoin software is presented with two development branches, Bytecoin Reference Client and Bytecoin Wallet. The first one refers to the original CryptoNote console daemon and simplewallet binaries, while the latter is the graphical wallet for end-users. Bytecoin Wallet roadmap depends on Bytecoin Reference Client features, so versioning is the same for both Bytecoin branches.

Here is the visual representation of Bytecoin roadmap. The features are briefly covered below. One thing to mention, these are not some vague plans scheduled for 2050; every feature mentioned in this post is being either researched or developed actively. We aim to significantly improve CryptoNote protocol and give birth to broad ecosystem on top of Bytecoin network.

The majority of the updates has been discussed with CryptoNote team members to ensure that our work is aligned with their philosophy and vision. However, it is completely up to them to decide which of them should be included into CryptoNote's official codebase and become part of CryptoNote's core features.

There are going to be more great features coming out this year. It's high time CryptoNote technology become more user-friendly to ultimately drive mass adoption to the platform and all CryptoNote currencies. Even though the cryptographic protocol behind CryptoNote's anonymous transactions is well-tested and robust, there is still a lot of work ahead. That is why Bytecoin team puts a lot of effort to make whole CryptoNote ecosystem reach a radically new level.

You may follow the progress on Bytecoin website. The page is going to be updated with each Bytecoin release.

Go to appdata and delete redwind folder, save blockchain.bin wherever you want, restart daemon and replace blockchain.bin.

This should fix it  

EDIT: save wallet and keys  

This is actually surprising. shrug. Lets see how it goes.

What does a warming regulatory environment mean?

I have bought up a couple myself, but I am always weighing it against buying some bitcoin. Sometimes when I think of a really good domain name and then it turns out to be taken, I am kind of happy because I don't feel the pressure to buy it.

I bought www.mtsig.com last week and I was pretty happy about that, I think as long as I use them for something they are worth it.

Does that really work? Can you really fund your account from any bank account, even if it's not your own? That would be fantastic.

Love what they've been doing but I don't think there should be "one" alternative. A centralized institution becomes political and eventually loses its best people. This is exactly whats happening to the BitCoin Foundation.
