RAM: 4.00 GB (3.89 usable)
So nothing too flashy but not atrocious either. That said, the machine runs really sluggish overall. Especially while downloading the blockchain.
I think the 4 GB ram could be a big limitation if you're also running other applications. Try closing as much applications as you can when you're not using your computer, and let it just run Bitcoin Core for a day (or night). See if that speeds things up. I've been running Linux on my i3 with 4 GB memory and swapfile on SSD for a long time, and I usually closed Bitcoin Core to save memory when I didn't need it. Until I added 8 GB more memory, that solved everything. I don't need a swapfile anymore, I can keep Bitcoin Core running without slowing down anything. If at all possible, you'll love a memory upgrade. |

Maybe the joke is on us? Price already dropping. Kudos to him!
Well, it did go up a lot in the past week(s). But I noticed the same, it started dropping at about the same time this address joined. At the price he joined at, he's looking at $3 million in Byteball on Friday. It's a flaw in the way the airdrop works, but I can't think of any way to prevent the huge windfall to rich Bitcoin holders either. Imagine this scenario: If one person (let's call him whale) gets enough bytes to sell through all buy support at bittrex, it can potentially decimate the price. That would be an opportunity for others to buy cheaper bytes, but we all know the whale will get the same amount next month. If the price goes up, he'll dump again, making it a very bad investment, so there's a strong motivation against buying. This is of course pure speculation, and a whale didn't become a whale by dumping his Bitcoins. He could very well HOLD his bytes too. The problem is: we can't know what he's going to do. All we know is one guy gets a much larger share than even the creator. Tony gets a very moderate 1% of all bytes. In my opinion, the modesty of the developer is more or less wasted if whales get a larger share. |

What computer specs do you have? If your computer is very limited on memory/CPU, it will indeed take many weeks to download and verify 129 GB of blocks.

Well, you would need to build libprotobuf 9 then. Other possibilities: Try ubuntu 16.04 LTS, or, and that would be a simpler thing maybe: build the wallet yourself with your own dependencies. So you can use boost1.61 etc.
Building myself was the other thing that failed. I'll try some different Ubuntu-versions first, and will report back here if it works or not. |

well...as you can see, you don't have the needed lib. You need 1.58, but you have 1.61. Indeed, I didn't check the version number. Thanks! 1. depending on your system (ubuntu etc.) check if the repositories have the 1.58 still available (maybe remove your current version first, if you don't need them anymore): sudo apt-get install libboost1.58-all-dev This is no longer available. 2. Build 1.58 yourself: wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0/boost_1_58_0.tar.gz
tar xvf boost_1_58_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_58_0
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 install
This works, but "skips 6 targets". I get this: gcc.archive bin.v2/libs/test/build/gcc-6.2.0/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a
common.copy /usr/local/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a
...failed updating 2 targets...
...skipped 6 targets...
...updated 12639 targets.. Trying to run the wallet gives the same error: ./bitcore-qt
./bitcore-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Back to ldconfig and try again: ./bitcore-qt
./bitcore-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Here too, I have a newer version: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libprotobuf.so.10.0.0 I don't think that there is a big difference which exact linux you use. I have ubuntu, mint and debian, and they are more or less the same. Ubuntu seems to have the best repositories.
Is there an Ubuntu-version that has it work out of the box, with older libraries? |

 I'm having a second look at Byteball. I've done three sends to Bittrex from my Byteball wallet. The first was 33 (shows 3 at Bittrex), then sent 333 (33 arrived), then 3333 (333 showing) total 369 instead of what I expected, 3709. Transfers in-wallet (made a second) sends everything, less the 588 fee each time. Bittrex shows 8 decimals for a GBYTE. 3 bytes is the 9th decimal, so you don't see it. So you've sent: 0.000000033 GBYTE 0.000000333 GBYTE 0.000003333 GBYTE 0.000003699 totalBittrex shows: 0.00000003 GBYTE 0.00000033 GBYTE 0.00000333 GBYTE 0.00000369 totalYour expected 3709 was wrong, the sum is 3699 only. When you withdraw from Bittrex they'll take a 2000000 bytes fee. You missed out on 9 bytes, which is worth absolutely nothing. |

Reading through the chat I don't find people with wallet-installation-problems, so I'm reposting this: I've been trying to get this wallet running for a while now. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It comes with a bitcore-qt binary, when I run it, I get this: ./bitcore-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I did what should have solved this (according to Google), but I get the same results. When all else fails, read the instructions, so I did the ./autogen.sh, ./configure and make. It all runs fine, but in the end I still have the same binaries I had already. I'm running in a VM anyway, I'd be happy to install a different Linux distribution if that means it works out of the box. Any recommendations? Additional question: do I get it right BitCore uses the same address format as Bitcoin? If so, can I let it airdrop to an Bitcoin address I just hold the private key to, until I get the wallet working First make sure you have the complete boost package sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev And make sure, the system can find your boost libs: Thank you for your reply  I have libboost-all-dev installed already, and ldconfig doesn't output anything, so I assume that's okay too. Hmm...thats strange...but you do have the mentioned file in your lib path somewhere, right? Can you do a locate libboost_system.so ? I have this: bitcore@desktop:~$ ls -l `locate libboost_system.so`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 aug 3 2016 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so -> libboost_system.so.1.61.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14496 aug 3 2016 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.61.0 Is there a recommended Linux-distribution that works easier or even out of the box? In that case I can just install that distro. |

So the bitcoin address from which we're suppose to sign a message from should currently contain the n number of bitcoins to get paid or have had a history of total received particular amount of bitcoins ?
The balance at the moment of the airdrop is what matters. To be exact: June 9, 2017 at 13:10 UTC (at full moon) |

bump - 5 days until airdrop. One could argue Bitcoin now pays dividend. GBYTE just crossed $900 (and fell back a tiny bit). 1 GBYTE is worth $874,95, which means my offer is - at current exchange rate - up to more than 0.01 BTC per Bitcoin now. Yes, about 10% less than the title of this thread when I just edited the OP. It shows how volatile the value is. We'll know for sure after I sell on Friday. So far, I have just over 11 Bitcoin signed from 3 people. can I still join your campaign? I can have my wallet signed. Of course, that's why I bumped the thread. Post your signature and you're in. |

The only way I really believe you have a collision, is if you can show 2 different private keys that both lead to the same address.

I would be happy to see some form of a self-executing smart contract that would put at least part of fees earned by a witness to any beneficial purpose we choose - like charity or any fund beneficial to society or community. If a witness would be running on condition to such contract it would be much more acceptable to our community to choose it instead of a witness that keeps all earnings from fees to itself.
The charity itself can run a witness. |

if Byteball achieves current Bitcoin levels of market cap and transactions throughput.
..
- daily fees paid to all witnesses: 0,15GB=$6000 (300.000*0,5Kb)
..
1. A witness will earn $15.000 worth of bytes in fees on a monthly basis from just running a single computer.
..
My point is that running a witness have almost zero cost, yet its operation is disproportionally generously rewarded in fees. I'd like to change your conclusion: it's a very cheap system with very low fees! You're talking Bitcoin-size for just $6k per day! Currently Bitcoin-miners earn $6M (1000 times more!) per day. I'd love to get a payment system that only takes 0.1% of the fees. That brings me to a different conclusion again: if Byteball achieves Bitcoin's market cap and number of users, users will do much more transactions because of the low fee. I'm now doing 90% less Bitcoin-transactions than I used to do, simply because fees are so high. 10 times more transactions than Bitcoin would mean $60k per day in fees, and 500 GB database growth per year. I'm not sure what this would mean for bandwith requirements to support millions of users, especially if many full nodes download everything. It could be quite an expensive server. Yeah, everyone can be a president. Does it mean that we are to reward him/her for just being reputable? What's your point?
Fair question. I haven't changed my witnesses yet, but I do realize it will ultimately be needed to stop relying on one person. The next question is: how do you know which one to pick? I think two witnesses have been "advertising" in this thread now, what happens if 1000 people run a witness? How do you choose? |

A lot of same scams happened around.
If getting scammed, face it, learn a lesson from it, and let it go.
It was clear from the beginning this token was like any altcoin: created to earn the creator money. Since it's creation Waves went up at about 6-fold. Just 5 weeks ago he could create the WAAH-tokens for $0.80, and airdrop them to (say) 10,000 people for just $8. Doing the same would now cost $45, which will reduce the airdrop "spam" on Waves. |

Are all your bytes on your linked address?
I didn't know this! My bytes from the airdrop 2 months ago had indeed moved to a change address. The wallet didn't tell me, but it makes sense. This means I got 10% bytes for it, but no blackbytes. |
|
|

hey, I couldn't catch one issue. I have seen on icocountdown that Byteball (airdrop) ico will have been in 6 days. I missed something? Is it right? Byteball is goint to ico or this is another project? please, correct me if I am mistaken
You could call it an Initial Coin Offering as these specific coins are released to the public for the first time. But it's more that icocountdown calls everything an ico, nothing changed for Byteball. |

I told ya using such distribution plan in lieu of a crowdfund will be deemed a success... 1% is already 1 million bucks, folks!  Actually it's 5 million bucks. Well deserved indeed for a free new coin instead of a hyped ICO. I hope the success will continue after the airdrop. Tony: is there any plan to gradually reduce the airdrop in the last months? Just like the next airdrop will be bigger to reward Byteball-holders more, will there be a slow reduction at the end? Or will it stop hard after the last big airdrop? Blackbytes remain a big mystery though. I can't even send them to someone, as far as I know it can only work after "pairing" wallets, but it's unclear to me how that would work. I do know it requires bytes to pay for the fee, kinda like tokens on Waves. Can we do a demonstration here in the thread? Say I want to send someone 10000 blackbytes, how would I do that? https://byteroll.com/blackbytes : Blackbytes is the name of one, the first, defined private asset in Byteball. I read it's possible to create your own assets (no idea how that works). It's the first time I read blackbytes being "the first", in other words is it possible to create one like it? Like Loycebytes? |

I'm trying to link some addresses, but Transition bot doesn't respond again. Last time I tried was 10 days ago, and it worked fine.
Any idea when it will be available again? The Transition bot is the only problem I've ever encountered with Byteball.
It works again, that was fast. After the airdrop it took days to reset, this is better.
