Downloaded the byte coin wallet at around 2am and was surprised to see you can mine from it. Honestly wish it was this easy for other coins. I ran the miner just for shits n giggles and woke up this morning to find out i mined 160 good shares with 0 bad shares. My computer is nothing special just a Lenovo i5. Pretty impressive imo for just cpu mining!

We are very glad to hear about your success! Happy Mining!
Yeah that is good. You have not any problem with desktop wallet?
It took 4 days to synchronize. Since then it has been perfect. Easy to send coins to and from.
I just downloaded it last night. Haven't gotten to move my coin over yet
Shares aren't coins, just hope you know this. CPU mining with Byte is pretty decent for where there difficulty is, but it's nothing like it was. Like everything else. GPU mining will take over as the difficulty goes up. Welcome to mining and Byte!
What are shares? I'm new to it so I'm not sure. And it doesn't seem to overload my computer like i thought it would which is nice.
Shares just in a sense = the amount of work you have done. If you really want to mine, don't use the Wallet to mine. Suggest downloading Minergate for simplicity or research into stand alone miners. The wallet is more of a "it can mine if need" kind of thing as opposed to earning "max" profit from.
If you want to mine Bytecoin (BCN) without problems you need to have a local wallet. first you need to download official wallet from main website and then run and let it couple of hours to synhronize with main network.
I use xmr-stak-cpu on an i7 and it has mined along pretty well. Unlocked 3 blocks so far and got some decent payouts when that happens :). But as difficulty starts creeping up, mining on CPU will not be very rewarding.
I used the wallet in the Apple store. It was easy to send them there I just hope it’s safe because it is new.
Shares lead to coins. You probably need to update the miner pool that is there to one of your choosing. Once you do, then you can go to their website(of the pool) and watch your shares generate coins. Pools have minimums of 5-50 coins mined before they will send to your wallet. There’s a bytecoin.uk pool, bytecoin.party, or bytecoin-pool.org are 3 that I’m aware of. It’s real easy to set them up.
