I've read quite a bit about Byteball, but some things I cannot answer:

For the next distribution you need to link your Bitcoin address against your Byteball address, eg by signing a message.
I always keep my wallets on an airgapped system to be safe. I can generate new Byteball addresses, and I can sign messages with Bitcoin.
But how can I access the transition bot eg via browser? The link starts with "byteball:" and Firefox does not know how to handle that.

Is it impossible to export the private keys for your addresses? I always keep them on paper for backup and would like to do the same with Byteball.

When I use different addresses, can others somehow tell those are mine? As in, does the wallet have eg an ID that's in every transaction?

Anybody knows of something like vanitygen to create custom Byteball addresses?

Thanks!

I think that the easiest method for you would be to sign the message on the safe system, copy the signed message onto an USB stick (txt file) and from there onto an online system with Byteball wallet on.

I don't think that the transition bot can be accessed from outside the byteball wallet (that link is interpreted by the wallet and takes the necessary steps), but maybe somebody else knows for sure.
About storing the wallet I can tell that no long ago byteball didn't even have a proper backup (they had some sort of shared wallet concept), what they have now is really a step forward. Give them time and they'll get to all those features. Byteball is new software, not a Bitcoin clone. Much more work is needed.

Your browser should know how to handle Byteball links after you've installed the wallet on your system.

Well yes, I don't doubt that, but like I said, I keep wallets on an airgapped computer.
I'm looking for eg a simple form where I can copy&paste the signed confirmation message.
Because it's not really complex: post address, get address, sign message, post it.

Maybe a stupid question about Byteball.
But in the wallet when I select to make a new addrees, so not a new wallet, but address.
Where can I find the old address?

my wallet is on another system that i do not have access to right now but there is a "gear" shape button in your wallet setting (not the general setting). that contains the name of the wallet which you can rename and a couple of other stuff in it.
there is a link at the bottom saying "all wallet addresses" which you can see an copy.

thanks a lot.
Now I see.

It is hidden though, or is it me.

Does anyone know how long it takes after the distribution ends for the GBYTE and BLACKBYTES to appear in your wallet?

Several hours to a day, just be patient.

heh...at 0.00625 I think it is..not gonna amount to much :(

Several hours for the bytes and several days for the blackbytes

I think first we get the GB for holding Byteballs in your addresses and then after some hours, we get GB for the BTC we hold in the addresses we have linked. Blackbyteballs distribution will be after 2-3 days. I think I got in this sequence most of the time.
