At this point in time, yes short-term hype marketing is king. However in the long run superior tech (with some visibility of course) and cryptos that inspire long-term confidence will win. Currency is not just a cord connection standard. Look at Monero. That's a currency I would be comfortable buying for the long-run, in the top five in my book. Completely a community effort. Or look at raiblocks. Around for three years with good development and tech, just now got visibility. Marketing is a good idea, but the lack thereof is no reason for despair.

I am, feel free to contribute to DF5DZO2YEMADVBTGWBIVI7J3WWYWO3GT (bytes). You can pm me here or the Reddit account cryptospotter to suggest ads or discuss.

Yes, you can see number of transactions on https://byteball.fr/heartbeat.php.

I regret not putting more of my Byteball bytes into XRB when it was at $0.15... However 10000% in a month is huge. Without much underlying change in tech since it was $20 million market cap. I think Xrb will enter a bear market for a bit to lose 50-80%.

Lmao, US gov't is so retarded they changed corp tax rate to 21% while keeping max marginal personal short-term capital gains tax rate at 40%. Sorry sir, if you would like to pay only long-term gains tax of 25% on your alts that you actively traded, you can do so for 2017. But in 2018 we are kicking down the loopholes of 1031 so the big evil crypto whales will make a co. and have to pay their fair share of 21%!

They have to be this way because of all the tankies that vote leftist. 

Yes there's only one million GBYTE compared to 2000+ million MIOTA or 21 million BTC. Market cap is what to look at. I would say GBYTE could go to $10,000 or higher using historical prices and comparing to IOTA market cap. Roadmap is to add features and fix bugs. New exchanges may come soon also.

Tonych are you aware of the exchange issues and have you recently tried contacting any major exchanges (such as binance bitfinex coinone coinbase etc) to see if they will list bytes? Exchanges are most receptive to the dev team contacting them. There's also cryptochangex maybe try that out, it needs some volume. Changelly can let you market buy/sell on bittrex even without an account. That may be why the bittrex spread is almost 10%... Not very liquid.

Umm no. You cannot deny that many people got airdrops just for "free money" without caring at all about the platform. Selling bytes on the open market to get money for marketing has the *same* distribution benefit as Whale #35 dumping it.  However in the former case the money is used for a benefit to the ecosystem and further gains users who buy bytes and use the platform, but in the later some random person just got private spending money. And there is no moral high ground of the latter. If everyone keeps Byteball quiet, the holdings of bytes will become more concentrated. Which is the opposite of the stated goal of wide distribution.

While directly distributing bytes to many was a great bootstrap, it is not a panacea... how is auroracoin doing lately? Someone will be much more interested in a platform if they decide to buy into it with a financial stake and learn about it, than if they just get "free money".

Byteball team holds 350,000 GB that are planed to be distributed through combination of airdrop, cashback program, and other methods. We are trying to encourage tonych to reserve a bigger portion of that to fund development team going forward rather than giving it *all* away just to be dumped. Current value of those GB is over $200 million. Although tonych controls a big portion of bytes, he has always handled the reserved bytes with great revere and has not misappropriated funds. Main thing to be improved is actually spending more to expand the dev team beyond 3 and possibly add a small public/press relations team besides community volunteers. There is also a community fund.

s1lverbox, your exchange is very promising. My advice: 1) streamline your design as much as possible, 2) make it very easy to signup and reduce as much friction as possible in the process, 3) get somebody (maybe even yourself or a contracted dev) to put market-making/arbitrage bots on your exchange. Good luck. Also it is a somewhat generic name so go hard on the marketing...

Boolberry, still going strong I see. Never stop

Would be well deserved for bytes holders. That was a brutal bear market. Somebody proposed new logo concepts: https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7knhfv/byteball_new_visual_identity_concept/

Sweet $700. USD ATH this week? 

I'm keeping an eye on XSPEC. Now that my byteball is going up, might sink some more into this. Was disheartening to look at cryptopia and see balance .15 btc when I sunk 1 btc a few months ago based on some guy on 4chan 

Bittrex currently has a liability of roughly $1,000,000-$10,000,000 denominated in Byteball bytes to users of its exchange who held balances of Byteball bytes during the various official bytes distributions. While Bittrex would not be required to give users with bytes airdrops to bytes holders of tokens on new, independent projects, Bittrex undoubtedly received its users' distributions of bytes on bytes and wrongfully took it for itself. This could have contributed to price depression as well. Bittrex owes me 36 GB ($10,000) and I am considering a lawsuit sometime in 2018 if the amount becomes significant enough for me. I would be open to joining with others with the same issue in a class action lawsuit. Please contact me if you have the same issue.

Very low volume, I bet it will break out soon, either down or up.

So ICO investment of 10 BTC ($5000) became $200,000,000. wow 

Be careful, someone will write a bot scraper that will immediately claim any textcoin publicly posted. 

Have you considered naming the fork something besides Doubloon? To me that has quite a silly connotation.

Not to be repetitive, but this error is a hub error as far as I can tell. If you switch to Byteball Cashback Witness hubs, your problem may be solved. See a few posts above in this thread

Have you all with hub issues tried using Byteball Cashback Witness's hubs? By using its hubs you also help decentralize the ByteBall network!



However, make sure you trust Byteball Cashback Witness before doing so!
