Thanks if you want, take one of my contracts or pm me, will walk you through it.

Nope, but the write permission error will only happen when trying to make new wallets. If it happened with the core program, it wouldnt load.

Oh! One reason for the error too might be to save to a folder that isnt unicode. For example, you have a non-alphanumeric character in your username like a chinese character. I think its a pyqt thing. Bitmessage had the same bug which is why i simply save their data locally.

OK so there was 2 people that didnt see the markets populate. Thats because the default address never loaded. You can solve it by adding it manually to other.dat

If you PM me I can explain how to do it.


Other than that, everything else should be working perfectly.

its gone now for me

Did you install to somewhere where you have no write access? Or are you trying to save keys to certain directories without write access? I saw this issue before with my friends computer. It wasnt allowed to save to certain directories! Go ahead and see where you can write to. Also, make sure it has admin privelages.

Ok sure. First of all, it works on Bitmessage. You are a node in the network. Everyone will pass messages around to their neighbors and eventually the message will get to you. If you can decrypt it, its for you. No servers needed to run this.

However, it may take time the first time you connect to the markets. And after two days, orders are forgotten by the nodes. However, a node can of course send the order again as a reminder to new people once it leaves the market.


So first of all, take some time to let the nodes find each other. You have a list of nodes and messages will eventually need to find you. However, once the full list of peers is obtained, things start working very fast.


So first, you should check and see if you have a good connection in the receive tab. If you see about 8 or more connections you are good. Next, let it find all the nodes. Sometimes that is very fast and sometimes not. Lastly, go ahead and test sending to the market. If your network is running properly anything you send to the market will show in the market tab.

I will send some orders to the market to fill it up a bit. If you want more assistance, please PM me and would be happy to help.

The BitBay client works fine its only calling the daemons as a subprocess. Bitbayd and Blackcoind. Getting a static build that is good for commercial release.

For example we were told getting a linux build for all versions of linux in one client is not practical because of libraries for certain computers being different. Our windows build works on 100% of the systems currently. The others working on more than 90% (according to reports vs download counter)

Still though, reports are very important. The reason for public release was because we need more Macs to test on.

You might want to try posting an order to the market and see if you end up seeing your own order. Make it for like 1 bitbay. Also, everyone in the markets should see that as well.

Another thing we can try is that I send an offer to you directly to your bitmessage address. We will see if it sees incoming messages. Perhaps your peers didnt find ours. So far, i have only see this issue once and it was with my build on my computer at a second location. I was unable to see messages that my other setup saw. But it later found peers and fixed itself. I will definitely look into hard coding some peers for the network thats arent native bitmessage nodes.

In the future, i can run all the nodes through a server and have all client pull that list for instant connection.

Hey there, if you see how many times i post here obviously im more than happy to help you out even personally. Ok so your market isnt populating. I'm wondering if bitmessage wasnt getting a good connection or perhaps has a firewall issue? Im thinking the best way may be to give you a custom bitmessage client that you can run so we can look inside it and see whats going on.

Also, try to double check that your bitmessage address is loaded. Even in Bitbay, it will tell you how many connections you had. Sorry if i overlooked your comment. I get amazingly busy.

I'm more than happy to walk you through it on IRC, Skype or email. PM me so we can get you started.

To improve Bitmessage, im very soon going to be having a superior seeding system to speed things up.

The issue may be with the bitbayd build. Its run as a subprocess and there are some mac systems it doesnt run on. If you can PM me, we can get that working for you.

Hey everyone, if setting up email we noticed that either avast or outlook is causing a padding effect that messes with my encryption. So best to simply use gmail when setting up email. Even just start a blank email account since it would only be used by Bitbay as it stands. Otherwise, you can use any of the other providers or even pure bitmessage.

Outlook with avast will be either be fixed or not supported as an email provider in the next update. Thanks rqdxrocket for taking the time to test that with me.

Wallet.dat is not used. You cant import a qt wallet into BitBay. Everything in Bitbay is multisignature (dual key). So just make the two keys and send coins to the new address. Soon we will add staking.

If you are under "Show all contracts" and its not showing perhaps you need to wait for the markets to populate. It can take a little bit of time to find the other nodes in the bitmessage network. Once you find them it speeds up.

Not only will it stake but it will stake from 2 locations (since you use 2 keys). So you can do hardware staking when im finished coding it.

Oh ok, you need to make sure the encrypted email is checked. I see bitbay2015@outlook.com but you should confirm that is listed in the client.

If you want, i can walk you through it on irc chat in the program. My name is dogebeard.

First question, staking with multisignature is much more complex however it will be added.

Second, yeah of course you can sell things here. The smart contracts have been tested for over a year. Most of the hard work is pretty much done. Only the user friendly templates is what is needed now. So I would really like the feedback. Right now, the template that you can use is "custom" so obviously we will add more(users should not have to "think" about deposits). The new templates will be full automation and customization of everything so it will be extremely user friendly. I want it to be like "one click" for everything.

Ive noticed that we need a way to chat while in escrow so i recommend using irc(for now) which is in the client.

EDIT: I just noticed one of our community members already responded. Yes, exactly, just get used to using them first.

Its funny, we just had a long conversation about this today. I currently dont host any of them. Bitbay.net was Bobs which was trolled so Steven got Bitbay.org where they hosted and we redirected that to bitbaymarket.net for this launch. However, one of our core members holds bitbay.market and has been working up some ideas with it. So personally im not sure which domain will be the permanent one. Its up to the community to decide that.

It would be nice if i had my own domain perhaps i will buy one of the 3 at some point.

I just took it so I can walk you through it. One thing i realized is, we need a way to chat in while involved in a contract. There is the "chat" window too but im wondering if there is more we can do. Perhaps putting an irc handle?

Probably will add a decentralized chat window while inside a contract. You can PM me here i will send a shipping address. When you ship it with tracking, i will release the escrow.

One thing you should take note of is, you need to keep the program running in order to negotiate the deal since its p2p (nobody is holding onto your funds) I'm thinking of text message or email notifications? Let me know if you have feedback for the templates.


By the way, you claimed to accept one of the offers earlier, is your email address loaded? I just wanna make sure you get the messages.

Ok cool, i logged in. You should keep your client running because its peer to peer. That free $1 order was one of mine.  Looks like its now 1.04... up 4%


It should show in your pending offers tab

You are 100% correct. Thats why i allow anyone to build from the source on request. I only want to protect it from cloners. But yeah anyone who wishes to build for sure. I only obfuscate the variable names. Eventually i should add, it will be open source. I want to finish my current promises first before i do.
