Dear Community,

We hope that you enjoyed the quiz and learned a lot of new info about Bytecoin. We've decided to make a brief clarification to help you understand the answers about the technology of Bytecoin and its history a bit more.

1.How to check your transaction exists

Blockbuster

Scan the log files

On the Block Explorer

Check your balance

Block explorers allow anyone to examine the blockchain using block hash, TX hash, Height, Amount, or Payment ID. Examples include:

https://minergate.com/blockchain/bcn/blocks https://chainradar.com/bcn/blocks

If it doesn’t find your transaction or says it is in an “orphan block”, then your money didn’t go anywhere.

2.How do you know if the Bytecoin Desktop wallet has finished syncing the blockchain?

Your balance is shown

It makes a ding sound

The application will ask you to restart your computer

The status bar at the bottom

Yes, you don’t need to do anything after it finishes. The pink bar at the bottom represents the process of downloading the remaining blocks, as well as tells you the time at which the currently downloaded block was mined.

3.What is the brand color of Bytecoin (#number)?

1337

Pink

#FF0082

Black

Yes, it is pink, #FF0082 to be precise. It is a hex number that describes this exact shade of pink out of 16777217 colors.

4.How many Atomic Units is in one Bytecoin?

100,000,000

1,000,000

Unlimited

42

1 BCN is 100,000,000 AU (a hundred million). Atomic Units to a BCN are like cents to a dollar. Sometimes it is more convenient to write fractional amounts in AU than in zeroes after the dot. Bytecoin has adopted this number from the well-known Bitcoin to avoid confusion of users.

5.What port does bytecoind daemon run on?

1776

1701

1984

8081

It is 8081. You can find it if you look at what ports are occupied on your system when you run Bytecoin Desktop or daemons, or on Wiki on our GitHub page.

6.How many keys are actually in the Bytecoin desktop wallet?

57

4

101

2

There are 4 keys in the Bytecoin wallet: spend public, view public, spend secret, and view secret. The address is made up of the first two.

7.What is this: 62 79 74 65 63 6f 69 6e ?

Secret code for: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42

Bytecoin

Network

Privacy

These are HEX codes for “B Y T E C O I N” in the ASCII table - a universal standard that describes how computers describe letters to each other:

8.What is this: 13a537627c969dfda1bf6a2688694aa139f66d643073d49afc5cdd75d3c1e400

Hash of first transaction

Jenny’s wallet address

Coded coordinates for the location of the Bytecoin Team

Hash of the Genesis Block

It is the hash of the Genesis Block - the first ever block in the Bytecoin blockchain. One of the founding principles of blockchain is that each new block references the block before it - that’s why you can’t change what is written to the blockchain. So there has to be a block that the 2nd block can reference - the Genesis Block. Check it out

9.Why can some funds be unconfirmed?

Their TXs haven’t received enough confirmations yet

Your exchange has not approved them

Gremlins in the system

You haven't confirmed the transaction in the wallet

The confirmation value is the number of blocks that have been built above the block where your transaction resides. The greater the number, the more resources it would take someone to change it. This value naturally fluctuates, and everyone decides how many confirmations are enough for them.

10.How many hashes are in 1 MegaHash?

1,000,000

8,675,309

1,024

100,000,000

Mega stands for million. It is a prefix in the International System of Units:

12.How do Bytecoin developers prefer to call the upcoming “software update” on August 31st?

Algorithm Update

The make Bytecoin great again campaign

Hardfork

El Pollo Loco

Once again, our Roadmap is the key.

13.How long is a Bytecoin address?

64 characters

It is exactly 95 characters long. You can copy it into many available online tools that tell you string lengths.

14.How long is the block time in Bytecoin?

Long enough

Exactly 4 minutes

2 minutes

About 5 minutes

It is 120 seconds = 2 minutes

15.What is a confirmation?

When a block has been accepted above your block

When they say they will marry you

When the blockchain has checked the transaction

16.What is the 3-2-1 rule?

3 copies, 2 types of storage, 1 remote copy

with one copy in remote location.

17.When was Bytecoin launched?

20.What kind of function helps you prove that a transaction is yours?

The Send proof

A Notary

Transaction Hash

F(x)

While a transaction hash allows you to prove that a transaction exists in the blockchain, it is the Send Proof that allows you to assure the receiving party that it is you, who sent it.

21.Which algorithm is Bytecoin based on?

CryptoNote

CryptoNight

SHA-256

Scrypt

This one is tricky. While CryptoNote is a protocol that Bytecoin is based on, CryptoNight is the proof-of-work algorithm that powers Bytecoin.
