This distribution suffers the fate of most crypto distros in that the rich gets richer etc. and there is no fair way to distribute either here or anywhere else. The real distribution starts when the whales dump their Bytes to the smaller whales who dump to even smaller whales etc. Someone should come up with a fair and wide way to distribute coin both here and in the outside world.
What is not fair by getting what you pay for. If I have more money than you and am able to buy something that you cannot or the same amount, why should I take on the burden It just goes against the principal stated in the OP: "I believe the success of a currency depends on the number of people who own it, in fact Peter R’s research suggests that historical marketcap of Bitcoin follows Metcalfe's law: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=572106.0, i.e. it is proportional to the square of the number of active users." So, the dev team, wants to distribute to as many users as possible but end up giving most away to a few users. They are not asking for payment, so it's not a question of getting what you paid for, just a flawed way of distributing. Well, he's only giving away 10% at this point right, so it's not most. Also, do decision has been announced re: ICO addresses, so he could still change his mind for this round or subsequent rounds. |

when is the exact deadline? at what timezone?
Pretty sure UTC, so about 4.5 hours from now. |

It's not unsafe to sign a message, no more so than spending coins from an address. In both cases you expose your public key, not your private key. Maybe at some point in the future people could deduce your private key from your public key, but that is like far future quantum computing shit. At this moment there's nothing unsafe about it.

tonych seems to be ignoring these comments, so I guess nothing will be changed. It's kind of a tricky question anyway, since if there is a limit in terms of percent that can be received by any address, these large bitcoin holders could in theory just break their btc up into a bunch of addresses and then link a whole bunch of byteball addresses and perform death by a thousand cuts anyway, right?

I contacted Sasha Ivanov, founder of Waves, about the linked address 1NGfrU4YNp8dox1gLeUDyjD5Vpfck9no5j that has 4800 BTC from Waves ICO. His response was that if the project is successful, he is going to distribute our coin as dividend to Waves holders.
So, even the largest (so far) whale in our distribution is a kind of collective investment entity.
What people say and what people do are sometimes not the same thing. Should have been nulled like the other huge wallets. Project is destroyed before it starts. The enriching the richest automatically does not go over well with most of the crypto community. This one just popped up while I was finishing mine: XCQ3LC6BSRGLPKC6LDQBTHZBKHLGIS5B 3HsSR84zReeBt5fTMESWJ2y18pMo5gz2Sq 12295.96991428 20.5916 tx 12.2k BTC  At the moment going to get 20% of distribution. |

Can you link multiple BTC addresses to a single Byteball address?
Edit: seems like no and it broke the bot (just showing some red curly braces when I send it signed message).
Edit2: Nevermind it works with multiple BTC addresses per BB address.

Can someone please alleviate my concern about the bot. I install the software and then start the bot. I authorise the bot to run software but I have no way of knowing what this bot is actually doing besides linking addresses. What if the bot is gathering information, key-logging, searching for private keys etc. There are obviously some clever people behind this and they are spending quite a few BTC on ads and PR when they give away the Byteballs from free. Signature campaigns, Twitter ads etc. Everyone is very excited because this is something new but nobody seems to ask any questions as to exactly what the bot might be doing or if it's really needed. Why couldn't you just register and link through the wallet, why the need for a bot? I might be paranoid but the Bot could easily gather private keys from unencrypted Bitcoin wallets and then obviously encourage people to send all their Bitcoins to that address. There are also various forensic techniques that could be used and software like https://gist.github.com/chriswcohen/7e28c95ba7354a986c34 as an example and others. I do not mean to FUD, I am just surprised that nobody seems to ask any questions about this way of distributing and also the fact that coins are distributed for free but the team are using a lot of money on marketing. Just a thought... I have similar concerns. I am thinking about installing byteball on one computer, signing addresses on different comp, then linking back on the first, but...still just thinking about it. Guess I better make up my mind soon. |

Your transaction ID is not valuable at all, guys.
You can write it right here without any fears.
Sorry, guys...
I mean every question about transaction problem MUST have transaction ID written along with problem description.
Otherwise nobody will spend their time solving your problem.
The exception would be if you send coins to an exchange, but forget to include payment ID, then the only way you can prove to exchange you sent coins is with TX ID, so then you want to keep it private. |

Gonna see if I can merge changes from ducknote to implement merge mining, that would require a hardfork though...I think the only exchange is cryptopia correct?
We could look into doing some work on this coin if dev doesnt want to continue? Seems like dev is dead, so that would be great  |

Pseudo-anonimity is good enough for me.
What I find hilarious is that 96.52% of Monero's volume belongs to a single, centralized exchange (polo) which also require people's identity. Until that's fixed I'm not sure how people can push Monero.
You are right. I never thought about that. That's scary. At 88% atm: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/volume/24-hour/And I think when Bitfinex implements margin trading for XMR that will probably continue to decrease. |

OK let's try
What files do I need to backup and delete, please ?
Thanks
Just don't delete anything, but move your wallet file elsewhere, but keep your keys file in the same place, and then move the two .bin files out of the data directory. Then when you restart wallet, load your keys file and resynchronize wallet. |

OK, the "--data-dir D:\bitmonero" at startup and in settings to change the data folder works for the GUI wallet.
Size of folder once fully synced in 3 hours : 8.49 GB.
But I sent a few XMR from MyMonero to my GUI wallet, 2 hours later, still notting arrived ! Normal ? (Mixin : 10)
Is the transaction actually present on the blockchain? If so, try restarting the GUI. Hi, thanks I restarted, but nothing. Yes, on blockchain TxID : e1585ac1570d83f480400e095a1192d2556eeb2cb87315a5b51fb50704c609f2 I tried to send 0.5 XMR mix 3 and 1 XMR mix 10, to same address, and these arrived almost instantly... TxID 7f6ca63543f1c09ffc57d232a5188292e417d7a22ac1c23ab5b92b1940791ec5 and 29a23ba9eaf0fc87dff68ee9ef24356c4657654ab50f045dad2f56af63b09cc9 Is there a problem, my 10 XMR lost ? Thank you for you help, best regards If they were all sent to the same address, then there's no way your ten XMR are lost. You might need to restore the wallet from the keys file (and maybe remove the .bin files from your data directory). Of course, backup everything and make backups of your backups before you start messing around. |

So how does someone get some help with a wallet around here? Do I have to start screaming about stolen coins and calling people names before someone cares? Or is there a dev familiar with the wallet that can look up a transaction that went missing and fix it?
Thanks!
BTW, I tried here, tried PMing devs, and tried sending a message from my wallet. No responses so far.
Reset/resync your wallet, dude... I did that as well, yesterday and today. It did not work. Did you open a support ticket with poloniex and show them that the TX is showing as unconfirmed on the block explorer? |

Is there an up to date document containing all the rules/instructions available?
If someone wants to write up the current rule set/guide that we can put in the OP, website etc, i think we can offer a 2.5k huc bounty. definitely something that is needed. I might give it a shot over the holidays, no promises tho. Also, nice work domob! I will definitely try to give your paper a read over the holidays. |

owlcatz is correct, you should launch the daemon with the --data-dir flag to specify a non-standard location, for example: monerod --data-dir E:\some\other\place Not at home right now, but think blockchain is right around 10 GB now. |

Maybe try to make a backup of your wallet keys, then delete your wallet.bin file, and then regenerate a new wallet from your keys.
Edit: Also go in data folder and delete the two .bin files there.

You need to withdraw to your own wallet. |

Maidsafe.
What's up with all the smart shitcointalkers who don't understand the concept of greater than/less than? Let me enlighten you, maidsafe has a market cap of $42M, OP requested coins under or less than $1M, 42 is more than 1, so it fails this criterion. I know it's complicated, but I know you guys can do it. My picks: Myriadcoin, Nyancoin, and Vertcoin ($880k right now, think it bumped over 1M couple days ago tho). |
