An update about our upcoming promotional activities. 1. Eli Taranto has joined our team as PR and Marketing director. He has a strong track record in marketing, business development, and investor relations. See his LinkedIn profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/eli-taranto/He will be paid from the Community Fund 2. Steve will give a talk about Byteball at World Crypto Economic Forum in San Francisco http://wcef.co/ on January 15-16. Eli will also be there, and there is a number of meetings planned in addition to the conference. Unfortunately, I cannot attend as it was unrealistic to get a visa within such short time frame. We sponsor WiFi at the conference. This is paid from the Community Fund. We will also send out $10 worth textcoins to all 1000 participants of the conference. This will be paid from the undistributed funds. And it is one of the new distribution methods. 3. I will speak at Altcoin Meetup in Zurich on February 2. The meetup is organized by Bitcoin Association of Switzerland. |

Version 2.1 released: https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases* Added ability to send all public assets as textcoins. Previously it was available only for bytes. * Added ability to remove the sent textcoins from the wallet, which allows to create paper wallets for cold storage. The paper wallet is just the 12 words of the textcoin. After writing it down (and optionally printing as QR code using any QR code generator), you delete the textcoin from the wallet to protect it from online threats. Later, you can get this money back online by using Claim link on the Receive tab of the wallet and typing the 12 words. If you don't plan to spend 90% of your balance in the near future, this is a way to keep it safer. * Added dollar amounts in the texts that come with textcoins. Those who receive textcoins via email, will have a better idea how much they received. * Added dollar amounts in the display of wallet balances, transaction history, and fees. The fees are particularly important. I saw many people trying to get the dollar value of Byteball fees and almost always they were 2 or 3 zeros off. The rates are updated from Bittrex and Freebe every 5 minutes. Hub operators, please update your hubs. * Fixed the remaining crashes in full wallets Another small but important update: when a textcoin link is clicked on Android which doesn't have Byteball app installed yet, the user will be automatically redirected to our app on Google Play and the textcoin will be passed on to Google Play, then to the newly installed app, and claimed immediately after the wallet is created. Which is a very smooth process for new users. You are silently doing something great and I do hope you will get what you deserve for your work and committment to this project. I am using the Byteball app with some friends where we chat together, bet together, share expenses together and that feels so great. I can't do the same with any other coin! Thanks tony Glad to hear! Could you tell us more about this? These real life stories are the most authentic marketing I can imagine. |

I also like a lot the new wallet showing dollar values of GB and assets,will it be possible in future to also add Euros(and eventually other FIAT currencies)?
Multicurrency Values of GB was a good option for the future. I think that is possible, Tonych can use the Coinmarketcap API instead the Bittrex API. I hope he like your Idea... It will be possible. Not a huge priority at the moment though. |

Guys! I have built a BYTEBALL VIDEO FAUCET and I am giving away until END OF 2017 for FREE 5,000,000 bytes for every new Byteball user: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up5mWozjHhIThis is also a perfect tool to support the growth of Byteball community (and Byteball PRICE!) Please help me with that! You can also get free byteball, but even more important: YOU CAN RAISE THE VALUE OF YOUR BYTEBALL ASSETS by spreading the news about the faucet. The more users own and transact in Byteball, the more valuable Byteball becomes and it's price rises. Until now, roughly 500 new users created byteball wallets and joined our community through this campaign. This is a good way to also reach mainstream adoption of byteball. So help me promote Byteball and increase your net worth at the same time! But hurry up! The campaign runs until December 31 only. Just share the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up5mWozjHhIwith on your Social Media channels with some nice comments like: "Become a Byteball Millionaire" "Get 5,000,000 Byteball for free" or "First Byteball Faucet" "Get free Byteball from the Byteball Video Faucet" You could also post the screenshot of your wallet with the funds you've received like this guy did: https://twitter.com/benjamim/status/946325369963114496Thanx so much for making this community great! Let's make things happen! What do you think of this initiative? Many thanks Rafael! This video and your Polish video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1vQPqypKRo brought us about 2000 new users! And made Poland a bright sport on our map. This is Android installs:  Each user received 5 MB and the total cost of this promotion was about 10 GB. It was initially paid from the community fund but since it is obviously a way to distribute coins (an unplanned one), the community fund will be refilled for these 10 GB from the undistributed funds. |

Hi Tonych,
If you add Serbian language, I can do the translation. Serbian is similar to Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin (in the way Austrian German is similar to Bavarian German, for example), so that should cover those countries too, until a proper translation is done by someone...
I'm confused, which Serbian should I add?  To make things simpler, I suggest you go with Serbian (Latin). Serbian (Cyrillic) is mostly used in Serbia, so Latin is of greater use to people in Croatia and Bosnia, I guess, while still perfectly understandable by Serbians and Montenegrin. Also, Serbo-Croatian (or Croato-Serbian) is officially no more, so I would avoid it, not to spark political debates. If we use Serbian (Latin) now, everyone in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia would understand it and you can add Croatian, Montenegrin and Bosnian later, when/if translated. Personally, I don't mind either way and changing a text from Latin to Cyrillic is literally just one click. Added Serbian Latin |

Our ICO bot now supports BTC and ETH (meaning you can pay in BTC or ETH to buy a token issued on Byteball platform). https://github.com/byteball/ico-botNow, almost all pieces are in place to become an ICO platform. |

Happy to contribute but how does this work (I logged in but cannot find the English master file)?
What language you want to contribute translation to? Dutch. Added Dutch. Translation done. Note: the text contains some code that makes part of the affected sentence fall away in the output. Many thanks! Updated the site https://byteball.org/index.html.nl |

Awesome features! BTW, improved translations didn't make it into the new version?
Didn't have time to merge them, will make it to the next. |

An update about future distribution plans.
So far, bytes were mainly distributed via airdrops to holders of BTC and Bytes, and a relatively small portion was distributed through the cashback program. We started this free distribution with the purpose of getting the currency as wide spread as possible, and while the purpose stays the same, methods can change. The airdrop method worked well to get the initial user base, but it also proved to be the least efficient in terms of user acquisition cost.
Over the next few months, we'll add more methods of free distribution. One of them is already being developed, I expect it to be ready in the first half of December.
The new methods are designed to grow our user base faster than the money supply.
....
Sorry for the delay, the new distribution method is ready now but, to make it better noticed, it will be launched (and announced) after the holidays. |
