Can anybody witness else confirm that "Cryptonote creators called bytecoin their reference implementation" in that time?

There are two possibilities:

1. As you proved in that thread, and as commonly known this days, Bytecoin had been hiddenly premined. So if some witnesses do confirm that Cryptonote creators (proven by SSL certificate) did call Bytecoin their reference implementation, it will completely disconsider Cryptonote creators.

was the previous one possibly just an orphan block?

I have been mining for some time using p2pool from http://lovok.no-ip.com/, and now I find a block did not payout to me. When I look at the block I see a lot of addresses all starting with 1 which does not look normal, and my address is not listed. Here is the block in question:

http://explorer.vertcoin.org/block/76b275a1700c8cab7482b608c22fed33e3ad159f5cf5d1ddd8dd64d1225fe940

N.B. I run the p2pool myself, and i have not updated vertcoind for stealth, since it will not compile from GIT on my OS version. I need to wait for the standard vertcoind ubuntu package to be upgraded, since that's how I did the original install.

1. I never said that it was bogus, I said that the dates it in could have been faked and the chain could have been mined in a much shorter period of time given that less than 10 computers would be required to mine it in two years. Simple math shows that if 10 computers could mine it in two years than 120 computers could mine it in two months, or 1000 computers (say on EC2 or in a lab) could mine it in a few days. I also said that there is no verifiable evidence of anything related to this coin existing prior to late 2013 or early 2014. There was certainly no public launch two years ago. If you don't want to call that a premine, call it something else, like a private mine.

2. I think you will find that my skepticism of the story behind this coin and the blatant campaign of sock puppet accounts (some stupidluy created within minutes of each other) promoting it predates the existence of Monero. It was my comments that in fact helped encourage others in the community to start Monero as a clean public launch (I joined later).

3. Comparisons with bitcoin because you personally may not have known about it are totally off base. Bitcoin was publicly launched and I have provided links that verifiably prove that bitcoin existed and was public when it claims to be.  No such proof has been offered for BCN (almost certainly because it doesn't exist).

4. There is at least one other person who has said the chain may be bogus (in fact I think he said it more strongly than I did). It was someone on the coinmarketcap thread. I have no connection with that person or account and I don't know who it is. Whoever it is came to his own conclusions that matched (or even go beyond) mine.

Same here - Still they got msg in the header "On June 17th some payments failed! Working on a solution. Thanks for your patience."

Mining for pools where you are more than 1% can be rather difficult, and despite all the talk of decentralization it's actually provably less profitable to mine at a small pool than at a large pool. If it's not, then why doesn't everyone just stick with solo mining forever? Because you'll likely never find a single block that way, just like a small pool will only find blocks infrequently. A pool with 3% of the hash rate for example is likely to find about 2.7% of blocks in my experience, while a pool with 1% might only find 0.5% of the blocks. And a pool with 35% of the hash rate might find 37% of blocks. But that's a topic for discussion elsewhere.

I'm mining a decent amount of coins right now, which is of course generating tons of small payouts over time. What's the best way to consolidate those so I can do one or two larger transfers to an exchange? Do I just run:

transfer 0 [My Address] [Amount] [My Address]

And do that multiple times until I can send larger transactions of 10 to 100 coins without having the wallet balk about having too many inputs? I guess I'd have to wait for confirmation on the transfers as well, but better than than ending up with vaporized coins. LOL

transfer 0 [My Address] [Amount]

I sent about 10.4 QCN to Poloniex yesterday as a test -- so verify I could transfer the coins properly, basically. Unfortunately, all has not gone well and while their support apparently looked into things and credited one of the deposits, the other six are still missing. Wait, seven deposits? Oh, yeah... I couldn't send one bigger transaction due to the old "too many inputs" problem. So I split it up into seven transactions (I just pressed the up arrow to repeat the last command, though I did generate a new payment ID after the first transfer). Here's the list of commands I used in the wallet:

Hi,

I was going to send 10 QCN but surprisingly spent 12.745 QCN instead.
Could anyone explain what has happened?

EDIT: the balance is all right now and this is not an issue anymore.
Anyway I'd like to understand what was going on, so am leaving the question.
Didn't make any trasnfer to my wallet recently, so why do I have received transactions?


In the wallet I have some balance locked. In the blockexplorer the transaction is for 12.745 QCN

The story form my wallet in text:

i tryed..and wait..but how can i see all payment outgoing my wallet?

Restarted many times...
