Bitcoin Forum

We answered frequently asked questions here (https://medium.com/@bytether/q-a-bth-mid-nov-7b816ba08f6a):

1. Why is my BTH not shown?
2. If no one claim BTH, what will Bytether team do with the rest of 17 million BTH?
3. How can we check the usage of BTH marketing and user grow pool fund?
4. The transaction fee is too high for me, how can I reduce it?

Bytether AirDrop (https://medium.com/@bytether/bytethers-referral-program-and-marketing-campaign-66c212477424) link

You just need to create a Facebook post, a tweet or a blog post then claim :) Bytether from the user pool.

If you have Bitcoin, it even better, just go and claim it here (https://www.bytether.com/register.html)

Oh Wait, ... You can also refer (https://www.bytether.com/refer.html) friends to get 10% from their claimed BTH

Yes, reserved for future too

Haha, thank you :)

How do you think about our coin  8) 8) 8)

BTW, I am new to the forum, how to get more activity and be able to post image?

Reserve for future use too

I will help you post pictures for your forum more lively.
hope you will like it. good luck with the project  :D :D

BTW, has anyone checked our website, any questions? or maybe visit our slack (https://join.slack.com/t/bytether/shared_invite/enQtMjUzOTUwNTMwOTMxLTMwZTdkZDE0OTEzY2YzNDBmYjBmNzBjMjViZGE5YjFkNmUxM2MyZmZhMzU3ZTI3MDAyNDI0MzA0NTc5MTk4ZWQ) for more information?

Interesting. Is it obligatory to join your slack in order to receive Bytether? You should have a mailing list for that purpose.

Hi Adamlm,

> Interesting. Is it obligatory to join your slack in order to receive Bytether?

No, not really. In term of receiving Bytether, we have two main steps.

Step one is for BTC holders who have BTC before a block, that we will inform later. The holder need to verify their ownership of a BTC address in order to claim the same amount of BTH. We will have smart contract to verify and claim BTH.

Step two to grow the user pool. We will distribute 1.000.000 BTH to whitelisted BTH users. The whitelisting process hasn't been finalized yet. We need to see how people react to the project before decide the next move.

Join our Slack is one way to help us interact with the community and give updates asap.

> You should have a mailing list for that purpose.

Yes, we will definitely have it soon. However, we need to have one central place to provide information to people.

Currently, we have to use multiple platforms / channels to do announcement since we have no choice. But it would be better to have one place to inform you all about when to launch whitelist registration, claiming process and so on.

Thank you.

really interesting project!

can you give more details around how the cross-forking actually works? you said this is all done through a smart contract? so you would need to sign an eth contract and give it an eth address? are there any security issues here? and how do you prove ownership of a bitcoin address??

I think we need to sign-in a message with Bitcoin wallet/address to prove ownership of BTC and post it into your Smart Contract to get equal BTH. Am I right?

Yes, exactly. You can create an ETH address and sign it with your bitcoin wallet. We will provide a verification contract for you to send this signature. Once verified, your ether address will reserve the right to claim the bitcoin address balance.

We will provide detailed guide once we complete our verification contract, ETA 2 week.

@pure_happiness_inside: This should answer your question, too :)

Thank you bytether-dev :)

everyone, bytether-dev is our lead developer. He will also help to answer questions on this topic.

So what is this trying to accomplish? If you make a token just to make a token it doesn't really mean alot. What does this bring to the crytpo economy, what problem does this fix etc?

is this like usdt? like backed to actual BTC

We tried to answer with the first post.

tl;dr

BTC is good to hold value, but it is not good for payment because BTC transaction is slow and expensive.
ETH's transaction, in the order hand, is faster and cheaper

We want to separate of concerns. Let ETH handle blockchain and take advantages of BTC's currency properties. In our road map, we also provide payment integration for Bytether(BTH)

BTH = BTC + ETH + Payment ecosystem.

Long version

No, it's not like USDT. BTH is not backed by BTC.

Hi everyone, how is your weekend going  ;D ;D ;D

We are going to post a blog post to answer FAQ tomorrow, please post your questions here then we can include in our blog tomorrow.

Cheer!

Bytether team!

Hello, we have new progress update

https://medium.com/@bytether/bytether-is-the-new-bitcoin-b65b198bcfac

Let us know if you are interested in the project

no airdrop?

We will launch user growth distribution after the cross-fork for Bitcoin holders.

The first release will be on this Sunday :)

https://medium.com/@bytether/so-why-do-we-need-bytether-8d31678a5a10

Hi everyone, hope you guys still remember us :)

Here we updated the progress, we have released our smart contracts, check it out.

https://medium.com/@bytether/the-road-to-bytether-smart-contracts-are-out-for-reviewing-a1e2a12e777b

In this blog, we explain what we did and why we did that. Including an introduction of our 3 smart contracts.

Let us know if you find any problems, we will reward you with BTH for bugs and problems reported :)

Bytether, the Bitcoin Cross-Fork, is ready. Get your free BTH now :)

https://medium.com/@bytether/bytethers-referral-program-and-marketing-campaign-66c212477424

People, we hear you, Verification Step 2 is now faster and simpler

https://medium.com/@bytether/how-to-access-your-bth-dfc17e36c51c

Here it is :)

Bytether AirDrop (https://medium.com/@bytether/bytethers-referral-program-and-marketing-campaign-66c212477424)

You just need to create a Facebook post, a tweet or a blog post then claim :) Bytether from the user pool.

If you have Bitcoin, it even better, just go and claim it here (https://www.bytether.com/register.html)

Oh Wait, ... You can also refer (https://www.bytether.com/refer.html) friends to get 10% from their claimed BTH

when i check my bitcoin address with this tool it doesn't give anything.. it only search. It has been going for an hour now.

Will the news of the cancellation of the Segwit2x fork will have some consequences on the project's implementation in the coming days?

Segwit2x is canceled but Bytether's plan won't be changed but ut our split block might change to get more support. Let us know your opinion

Also, we are excited to announce that we got 1243.61962551 Bitcoin registered in 2 days opening.

Can we still sign with Bitcoin address after block 494,784?

Yes, you can. Our design allows users to sign whenever they want. However, we are going to change the CrossFork block 494,784 to BitcoinCash block 478558(Aug 1st, 2017).

We will announce the change and give instruction to claim BTH on Medium.

I came here thinking there is a distribution, but here there is one slag. The author of the branch is letting the distribution and links to articles

I like the concept of the airdrop. I wanna join .

Thanks, just to be more concise

- You can get free BTH from referral program, open this link (https://www.bytether.com/refer.html) to get your referral link and share it with your friends. Once your friends successfully claimed BTH, you will get 10% from their claims.

- You can get up to 10 BTH from sharing Bytether to social networks. Detail can be found here (https://medium.com/@bytether/bytethers-referral-program-and-marketing-campaign-66c212477424)

Are any exchanges planning on trading Bytether? Can you list them?  Thanks.

Great news from the dev team, The BTH is now open for claim (https://medium.com/@bytether/bytether-opens-to-claim-bth-now-9eba8d6dd596), you can go and claim your BTH now.

Some quick info:
- We currently have 20k registered address
- More than 23K Bitcoin ready to claim, you can go and claim yours now :)

Go check this  link (https://medium.com/@bytether/bytether-opens-to-claim-bth-now-9eba8d6dd596) for more detail


Exchanges detail will be listed later.

All newbie can create a 1:1 cross-fork of the Bitcoin blockchain onto the Ethereum network nowaday. And they do it every day 1000 times

Same issue on my side, I have claimed my bytether, signed the message, done the smartcontract transaction (which has been validated correctly by the ETH network), and then... NOTHING !   
   Already more than 90 minutes and no tokens given. It was supposed to be delivered in the following 30 minutes.

Does anybody get his token ?

Yes I received mine within minutes of making the MEW transaction.

Hi, please check your balance via MEW instead of Etherscan because BTH is CrossFork, not token transfer.

We answered frequently asked questions here (https://medium.com/@bytether/q-a-bth-mid-nov-7b816ba08f6a):

1. Why is my BTH not shown?
2. If no one claim BTH, what will Bytether team do with the rest of 17 million BTH?
3. How can we check the usage of BTH marketing and user grow pool fund?

This definitely is not airdrop but bounty and a difficult one for that matter. Did I just read 50 twitter shares, 50 facebook retweets and 100 youtubes likes for 1BTH? Goodluck to participants. I'd rather buy if the project starts turning out as a good short term investment. Aint got time for wahala. Time na money!!

What about exchanges ?!

Is it only me, but registration is not working ? icon searching and circling but nothing is happening

It's working normally. Can you check again?

Hi, it was my mistake...
I tried to check my BTH balance using Etherscan, but it is not viewable with this site.
After asking by email to bytether team, they replied to me : Checking balance using MyEtherWallet will allow you to see your BTH tokens amount.

Conclusion : It worked fine for me !

@troutout: Please send us your Bitcoin Address at contact@bytether.com, we will check your case.

@bifle: Awesome :D

The registration process is working now, thx !

why would u ask t put a gas limit of 500000, isnt that too much

Hi uniqueheart,

Our smart contract needs to verify various stuff there for it costs more gas. However, the price = gas used * gas price.
If you set 1gWei then it will only cost you few cents

For example, you can check this one
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xfb0681fab3f09a39de7ff265836cd23db7298c8bafb02c13cf7bda6f00332d90

It only costs $0.01

I did 500,000 and received all my BTH in seconds.Thanks!

I had my BTC on livecoin at the moment of the fork :( (because it was easier getting BCH credited by them)
I can't sign messages from there and can't claim therefore  :-[

your project promises dev will definitely go ahead, worth to follow

No, we don't know Bitether.

Tell me, can I sign my BTC in a year?

Good afternoon. Tell me how can I apply for a BTH from my Trezor?

Anyone nows why, I have some BTH on a myetherwallet, but they don't show up on etherdelta ?!

I can't open the page with the Airdrop. When I click the button to write my Bitcoin address, it starts loading and stays like this for several minutes... And finally nothing. Is the Airdrop finished or?

Yes, this scum is stupid!

Hmmm, there was not a single trade of Bytether (BTHE?) on Etherdelta for 3 days...

    Currently, claiming your BTHE is more expensive (due to gas fees) than dumping 10 tokens !

 Such a shame, the system to clone the amount of BTC into the ETH/ERC20 blockchain is working very well.
 
 

I was in doubt to exchange (and invest) or not in some coins :(
but if you see this I don't see any convenience for any airdrop :(

It's listed only in ether delta? there are not any exchange? It was a nice project is not good see this bad potential :(

Bytether received !

(cost $0.02)

any links on how cross fork works? people might not be aware that it is possible that cross forks are doable. bitcoin with smart contracts is amazing

check out this link, the answer seems to be here
https://medium.com/@bytether/the-road-to-bytether-smart-contracts-are-out-for-reviewing-a1e2a12e777b

if i haven't a BTC, can i join this airdrop?

You can :)

any updates on another exchange?

I hope this cross fork of Bitcoin onto Ether solves most of the problems we face now with bitcoin.
Joined twitter campaign ,
good luck devs.

Sending from MEW to Etherdeltra results in a FAIL. Anyone getting this issue?

yep, i claimed but cant send it anywhere. Anyone got suggestions?

I need help sending my Bytether from my MEW wallet to a friends address. I have tried it 3 times now. Everytime I
pay the gas but afterwards I get the "TXreceipt status FAIL" message. Can somebody please explain it to me how to do it properly? I am pretty annoyed that I have to pay gas everytime for nothing.

You may need to round down the amount of BTH a bit for the transaction to work.

I`m stuck at the last step. How can I make a transaction to your smart contract?
I`ve spend hours on this so far. Going nuts!
Is there a step by step explanation? I`ve never made a transaction to a smart contract before

Hi there,

Have you checked our instruction here:
https://medium.com/@bytether/how-to-access-your-bth-dfc17e36c51c

If you already tried but failed to make the transaction please email to contact@bytether.com

Our team will help in 1-5 working days due to the high volume of requests

Thanks,
Bytether team

The problem is behind the problem, the project is raw - the feeling of the scum does not leave! ???

I need some instructions on how to claim from my Trezor.

Whatever I do, I aways get the same message: 'Note: Your address does not have any bitcoin at block 478,558'.

I'm 100% that it had.

Can you please  tell me how to fix this?

I Need Instructions on how to claim from Blockchain.info as anytime I input my bitcoin address I am told  "Your address does not have bitcoin at block 476,558" please note I have over 1btc from same address and I have been able to claim my bitcoin cash after the fork. Why the error message. Someone should please help. Thanks

I tried with your smart contract but seems I'm making something wrong.

Is there an exchange for BTH anyway?

The airdrop program still open :)

Dear BTC holders who are going to claim BTH, due to Ethereum Network's congestion please set gas price to 10gw to prevent your tnx from pending.

It's been 4 days, transaction did not work for one wallet, but it worked for other, it's strange. I sent you the link, still waiting for an answer.

Just claimed this. TX cost $2.50.
Thread seems pretty dead. Wonder if I'll get my $2.50 back?
Sign up process seemed pretty well put together.
What's happening with the unclaimed tokens? I imagine there's going to me many.

I do not understand why this project is not more popular.
I think it would take a little more advertising...

I hope the success BYTETHER of this project, despite the tough competition in this area. What makes you think that this project is revolutionary? Already exists whitepaper in Spanish?

Hello, I have a problem, if somebody know how to do it, could you tell me how I can register my BTC account on their Web site??
 https://www.bytether.com/register.html?refer_code=support@airdropalert.com

I made a account at coinomi wallet and put my address at box and I crick the box {I know how to sigh}
then show message // Your address does not have any bitcoin at block 478,558. Please choose another Bitcoin address.

this coinomi wallet should have bitcoin at block 478,558????
their web recommendation choice wallet??? ??? ??? ???

Can you email to contact@bytether.com?

hello guys i have a problem claiming my BTH ,i did all steps and all is working fine until i verify my signed message it keep tell me my signature is invalid
i checked 20x and all is ok in my side
i sent email with screenshoot to bytether email
i signed message with trezor wallet i really not understand the problem

Completed a successful claim transaction a few days ago but never got any tokens.
Does this actually work?

Sounds like a very interesting project BYTETHER. I'll be definitely keeping an eye on it! Do I need to do anything after registering in the airdrop? Good luck and keep us updated

Sounds like a very interesting concept. Sadly I'm new to the whole scene and can't afford the .005 fee for .0003 BTH when I have no idea that the transfer will be worth it in the end. :(

Does the BTC->BTH claim process has a deadline? Right not claiming transactions would barely pay for the gas.

Same here. Do not get fooled by "smart contract"; this is a scam!

Works fine for me.

Apparently, after a 3-day halt, a couple of very-high-value transactions have come from it:
https://etherscan.io/token/0xfad572db566e5234ac9fc3d570c4edc0050eaa92

Mine still have not.

Still not got anything from this. Shame as it looked quite promising when I first saw it.

is it tradeable? any exchange??

sorry for this silly question, i am completely new when it comes to "etherum" world.

Yes

https://etherdelta.com/#BTHE-ETH

Hello,

I have added Byteether to https://btcdiv.com under Active airdrops as it is currently possible for Bitcoin owners to claim BTH based on their BTC holdings on block 478558.

However, I haven't heard anything new about this project since the beginning of December. I hope it is still alive?

Thanks
btcdiv.com (http://btcdiv.com)

Hi, it's still alive :)

We are actively working with exchanges

Thanks! Process to receive BTH was quick/painless. So which exchanges are you working with? Which will be the easiest for you to list on? Thanks in advance!

Great to hear!

Is it possible to get BTH for my bitcoins that were in a cold storage / paper wallet during Bitcoin Cash fork?

Yes.  That's the entire idea.

https://www.bytether.com/register.html (https://www.bytether.com/register.html)  -- Just plug in any bitcoin address (yours), and it will tell you if there is BTH to claim or not.  Then you just follow the process to claim them.

That said, there is a current issue.  Not sure if it's bytether fault or etherscan.io problem.

It appears the BTH was in the registered address, and now it's not.  Seem liks a goof in the matrix.  Waiting on a response now.

Hello. Do we have any exchanges for Bytether? Last time I checked, yobit was offering BTH transactions, but I guess it is a different coin, right?

BTH on yobit is bitcoin hot, check coinsinfo on yobit website. bee waiting patiently for an exchange besides etherdelta, hoping soon.

I have claimed and am holding, as mentioned no interest in ether delta its a horrible site so lets hope we attract others!

Is there a time limit for when I need to claim my Bytether? Rather wait as long as possible so I can catch a few more forks before I move my coins....

Hmmm... I don't see anything moving at Bytether side.

 "Working with exchange" ? "Roadmap to deliver a payment card" ?  I see it everywhere

I have 2 questions; how long is the cross fork claim for bitcoin still active? And when will exchanges be announced?

two things lead me to believe this project isn't serious:

1. the etherscan.io link you provide to check balance doesn't work for hours, giving a 404 error. I just checked, it finally works and shows me a 0.0 balance: https://etherscan.io/token/0xfad572db566e5234ac9fc3d570c4edc0050eaa92?a=0x8d6557dc4bcf9f81658c2b54dd5327986d447a1f

2: for my 2nd Bitcoin address, I entered a wrong ETH address, the last character should have been a 7 and I put an 8. your program didn't detect this; there is only a 1 in 4 billion chance that the address would have passed a simple checksum check. so this means you didn't do it, and don't give the user a chance to correct it.

so far, I'm not impressed.

my bad. I just read up on this. ETH addresses that don't have any uppercase characters aren't checksummed. so this was totally my fault and I apologize. how much would I have to pay to have that registration deleted so I can redo it with the correct address?

just sent an email to contact@bytether.com with the details. hoping to hear back.

Any proofs on that claim or it is just an empty promisses?

I don't believe anyone has heard from them in days.  :(

I need to pay something to claim or it's just with a signed message?
(I can't find this token on coin marketcap, any idea to see actually quotation?)

You need to pay the ETH transaction fee; however, I would hold off until the team resurfaces.  I haven't heard anything for nearly a week now.

Can we add Bytether to Blockfolio yet? I'd like to track this token via this mobile app.

hi, I've just verified my btc address but don't understand what is meant by 'make a transaction to the contract address'. Can anyone explain. Thanks.

Already on blockfolio.

Search BTHE

the contract is on the Ethereum blockchain, and has its own address like any other recipient. except you don't send it any money, you only send "gas" along to convince miners to mine it.

a tutorial with screenshots is here: https://medium.com/@bytether/how-to-access-your-bth-dfc17e36c51c

I highly recommend installing MetaMask first. MyEtherWallet is confusing AF.

They haven't responded in nearly a week now.

Their website is now taken down as well.

That was a scam in my opinion.

They (I think it's been THEM) only wanted to collect some data, so as to merge the addresses that where used to claim the tokens and thus have a confirmed trail in the blockchain research database. Combining the results of in- and outputs of these addresses leads to the person who holds the funds, if there is a connection to fiat at some point of the trail.

I was dumb enough to hand it over to THEM.

I just went to the site, hopefully they will be back. I would be surprised if this turns out to be a scam.

I wanted to learn a little about Solidity and Ethereum so I had a look at the Bytether contract to see what it was up to.

First thing is that virtually all of the technical differences on the comparison chart in the OP are due to Ethereums's features.  BTH is just specifying the total circulating supply and launch date.  They haven't developed anything technically significant.

They briefly mention a "user growth pool" of 3m BTH.  I don't see them mentioning that there is also a "developer fund" of 1m BTH.    Both of these are created on top of the 17m bitcoin they're intending to crossfork.  There is no attempt to hide any of this in the code, it even has relevant comments.

The contract uses the bytether.com site to get the amount of BTH to be given.  The contract itself makes no attempt to verify this information, it simply trusts the website and also trusts oracalize.it to relay the information.  They claim that they "cannot" assign BTH from the crossfork pool to any accounts, but that is technically incorrect.  As they control the website they can have it reply with any results that they wish.  As I don't see where they list the signatures they have received there would be no way to know if they were assigning themselves BTH for bitcoin addresses that they do not own unless they happened to be caught using an address they couldn't possibly own (note I haven't seen any evidence that they're actually doing this, nor have any reason to believe thay might be).

The fact that the crossfork process relies on the website means that any attempt to crossfork will fail while the website is down (as it currently is).  There are quite a few pending transactions and they will all fail if they get mined while the website is down.

I don't see them mentioning whether they evaluated using a merkle tree of the UTXOs at the time of the crossfork instead of relying on the website.  

The contract contains the ability to freeze accounts.  It also contains the ability to automatically buy/sell BTH, although its BTH balance is 0 and this feature is currently turned off.  Their revertCrossFork function can be used by moderators at any time to remove a crossforked balance from its initial address.  

The ability to crossfork can be turned off in the contract.  They haven't mentioned when of if this will ever be used.  

thanks for your analysis. I guess mine got mined while the website was down, hence no Bytether. my buys are https://etherscan.io/tx/0x1203480f075e8b4a5c4f789266e7e004cea2201d26df48e363de8616985c095f (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x1203480f075e8b4a5c4f789266e7e004cea2201d26df48e363de8616985c095f) and https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3448c2c7dc7bda9d2ee11e778d262b5e8ea5a3cd95fe15e032fd00f955f14e29 (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3448c2c7dc7bda9d2ee11e778d262b5e8ea5a3cd95fe15e032fd00f955f14e29). both buys sent a trickle (.000305) of Ether to another contract, https://etherscan.io/address/0x3dbdc81a6edc94c720b0b88fb65dbd7e395fdcf6 (https://etherscan.io/address/0x3dbdc81a6edc94c720b0b88fb65dbd7e395fdcf6), but I don't see that mentioned anywhere in the contract. any idea what's up with that?

I only lost about 3 bucks and a few hours on this so I'm not gonna cry. just curious as to what really happened.

I wasted more money and a lot more time claiming.

Looks like it was simply a scam to deanonymize wallets.   Kind of like United Bitcoin is where they keep claiming you get something, but turns out you have to keep giving up more and more information.  With Bytether, as least you get/got something that is worthless and stuck in the wallet.

Looks like it's simply a failure before it even started.  Better luck even with B2X.

I can't access Bytether's website safely.
Is anybody else getting the warning that the connection isn't private? Any chance this will be fixed soon?

Here's the error message:

Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.bytether.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

 

it this BCH? https://etherdelta.com/#BTH-ETH

they redirected their website to google.com. and I'd say no, there's very little chance this will be fixed, ever.

I assume you mean BTH, Bytether, not BCH, Bitcoin Cash.

and my answer is "not necessarily". there are at least two other tokens, Bether and Beth, that use BTH as their symbol.

That was Bytether paying Oracalize for the lookup to their website.  However, it was Bythether's ether, not yours. 

I think they're gone for good. 


No, if you see on the left where it says "Make sure BTH is ...", the BTH is clickable and gives you information about the token.    This is Bytether: https://etherdelta.com/#BTHE-ETH

Can someone explain to me why I didn't got my BTH?
Iv'e registered with this address:
0xbc77d133cedc53814e2b183903dc32bc3b077c02

You got it, not that it'll do you much good.

https://etherscan.io/token/0xfad572db566e5234ac9fc3d570c4edc0050eaa92?a=0xbc77d133cEdc53814e2B183903dC32bc3B077c02

interesting, thank you! yes, I understand it wasn't my ether, all I sent was (barely) enough for the gas to mine the transaction.

No need to follow this thread.

Basically, it's a failed project.  A form of scam to deanonymize your coins.

No need to worry about it.  The project failed before it even got off the ground.

How to join airdrop?

https://www.bytether.com/ is down ?

yep, read the thread. the project folded weeks ago.
