Convert to lite client.  If you need help, I can walk you through it, but I did a detailed post earlier on a good method.  If you need, I can find that post for ya.



Agreed with light.
And, Lite IS the default install.  You have to specifically change it to full node.



I agree with your answer.
The problem is people are confusing byteball vs bitcoin.   It's bitcoin addresses that need to be linked (change address stuff).
So, forensick - make sure your bitcoin addresses are correctly linked.

"crazy horse battery staple"  FTW!

Funny, I spent a little time looking at the address and the bip39 addresses from it.
I am surprised that BurtW did it, but more surprised how many transactions are on the same address and the how many have used it in HD wallet transactions (even recently).

Good job Burt for figuring it out and admitting to it.   But, I got you beat for doing stupid things.  Nice try though. 

I don't know of any problems with full wallet that they don't have with a light wallet other than syncing.
The syncing issue is that someone would run the wallet once a month and then complain that it takes so long to catch up a months worth of data.  The same complaint those people have with Bitcoin Core wallets running a full node.  Other than syncing (time), I've never had an issue with a full wallet and used mine many times to recover people's funds for them.  (This has since been resolved in that you can recover a wallet from seed to a light wallet.)

Backups are the same in full as they are in light.  You get the same funds.  It's no safer to use light or full.   Backups backups backups.   Not sure what you mean by being done properly.  There is no secret, just click backup.

The main way I see people losing blackbytes is doing a recovery from seed.  This will wipe out blackbytes which the user is warned about when they make the backup.
A way to lose partial blackbytes is to recover from an earlier full backup.  I have recovered partial/most blackbytes for people from this type of error many times.  (typically time consuming)
- That problem typically occurs around a distribution/airdrop when all the complaints come in about how people haven't received their free money and I offer to help.


I would love to answer that, but I haven't played with multisig wallets enough.
Keep in mind that the same source code is for android as it is for windows and linux.
I did want to note that the first part is in reference to blackbytes, but then comments on byteball not being reliable.  Remember, Byteball and Blackbytes are two diff things.  Byteball being the platform and blackbytes being a private asset on the platform.

It's a shame to hear of a loss.
Fortunately for you, it is less than $200.

Anoter explanation?   Your computer could be keylogged/infected.  (Unlikely if only a sub $200 loss).

They didn't use sig blocks.   Simply spamming a question/comment that can be used in any thead.  On the same page is:

If I was trying to spam threads, I would be all over the place, instead I limit myself to what I care about AND more specifically, I try to answer as many posts in a single response post.

Kindly deduct my credibility points.  I can afford to lose plenty.  



Thank you.


Thank you.


Kudos to you.  Seriously.
Happy to see the value appears to have leveled off.  Yea for BB.

Correct.   It's not really 'converting' simply sending your funds to another wallet.
My suggestion....
New Device (like a phone or another computer):
Make a wallet (lite).  Send your blackbytes to it.  Send your bytes to it.

Another step to convert:
Do the above as mentioned.  
Old Device (computer) :
-Delete/Move the data from the full wallet.  (This way you don't need to keep the full node data (10GB))
Start a new wallet as light.  
Do a recovery from seed.
- This will then retain all your addresses (useful if you have linked bitcoin for airdrops)
Move all your blackbytes to your wallet from the temporary device.  Once confirmed, then move your regular bytes.


Note:  You need bytes to send blackbytes (assets), so that is why I said to send the regular bytes last.
Backups backups backups.

The above are just new spam accounts.  Why are so many new bitcointalk accounts being created just spamming threads to get activity points?  Ahhh, to sell them later and/or collect on free airdrops.

Why wouldn't you do it the same way you've done it in the part?
Same process for all versions.

Full Backup

It makes a file you can use on any platform.

Now, I think you might be asking how to convert a full node to a light wallet in an attempt to retain your bytes/blackbytes in the process?

Interface is so much more powerful if you want to use it that way.  Gambling directly from a wallet is nice.  And, trusted contracts.  Gotta love it.

Naaa, ask your questions.  Don't let some ass like me stop you. 

Also, congrats on Hodling.  I made the same choice.  Not saying it's the right choice as I could have made a lot of money simply doing the monthly buy and dump, but I didn't.

I've never sold a single byte; however, I have given several away, and hodl many.  I hope it turns out well for all of us.

Guessing you typed the address in?  If so, you probably made a typo.  Oh, and letters are CaSe sentitive.

You didn't try to give a bitcoin address, did ya? 



If it was a simple question, you should answered it for yourself.  I am sure you recognize that even though this thread is 730+ pages, it's 90% filled with people asking the same question, because they don't simply read the first post.  Mostly lazy people that make it to the thread without reading the very first post just to ask a question.   No offense to you as a person, but you have to realize how much wasted space is made.

I'm not sure why you don't get this coin.  It's not really different than all the others except that it's much easier to understand and deal with.  User interface is awesome.
As for linking bitcoin, there is already many youtube videos on how to do it.  I'm not sure how much easier it could be to give people free money, but yet they still want to be handheld.

I got an idea.... I could start a service of linking peoples bitcoin for them with the understanding I charge 50%.  I'm sure people would do it, because they don't want to do anything for themselves.  Of course they'll complain after the fact.  It's what people do even though they know the fee up front.   Kind of like ebay drones where an idiot will agree to buy something knowing the shipping price up front, and then after getting the product will complain about the shipping costs.  Damn morons.

Linking bitcoin.... you could just have your bitcoin on Bittrex and they will link and give you the byteball automatically.  I believe it's a 5% fee.   People are good with it until after the distribution and realize they paid 5% even though they knew it up front.

I'm glad you got your answer.  I'm sorry I had to be a part of it.  May you proper and be rich.  Hodl!

What's the address?   We can't help or confirm if we don't know the address and/or information up to that point.  It could be as simple as the bot not working, but easier if you give up an address to check.
Guessing you see 0 on the linked address on the above link and/or https://explorer.byteball.org/   If this is the case, then you have change addresses where your coins are actually at.

My guess is that you have been making payments and/or converting funds which means your GB is being moved around within your wallet and the bytes are not in the original address you linked.

So, if you want to be a part of the distribution, then simply send all your GB to your linked address.  That's the easiest resolve.

What do you mean buying at a high level?  If you mean a lot, then you would be smart to do your own research instead of listening to people in a thread.  If you mean at a high price, then you bought months ago (not now).

You're 'forgetting' to treat it ...... what?


Read the OP (Original Post) - The very first one.
Read the website www.byteball.org - Hint:  Click on Distribution.

"...the total distributed supply reached 58.4%"

Agreed, the price is low.

In the wallet, just go through the process of making a 'Full Backup'
It creates a small encrypted file.  You can put it on a USB thumb drive or whatever.  Hell, even simply email it to yourself.
Then, you can use that file to restore everything on any platform (windows, linux, phone, whatever).

You will not lose anything.

Yes, several things.
Could be the bot it down.
Could be that you're not connected to the internet with the app
- firewall / TOR
Could be old version

Currently, the bot is down. 

Look at the first post.
You don't need to be on an exchange to get part of the distribution.



Still though, you're asking someone else to find out the value of your holdings.  I think YOU should be the one to do that.
Hell, just use the wallet and look at the bots on how to trade your blackbytes and see the ratio.

I have no respect (no offense) for someone asking people to figure out something for them.  I do respect a question if you ask how to figure it out.  Meaning, you are likely to come back in a month and ask the same question again.... 'someone, please tell me now how much my stuff is worth' followed by more people asking the same question.  So, I said to use a calculator.

Coin is easy to handle.  You have a wallet.  You control it.  Same for bitcoin.  Just like any other alt, if you want to sell it, move it to an exchange to convert.

Heh, I think some of you missed it.  BurtW understood.

And, in case people are using windows....
%windir%\system32\calc.exe
aka
C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe

The point is.... Why on Earth would you come to a channel to ask people to use a calculator for you?
It took you longer to type in your question than it would have to simply have used your own calculator (android, ios, windows, or a real physical one).

Funny is when someone is in a Byteball thread asking for people to help find a Bitcoin wallet with multiple features.  Try a regular bitcoin thread or one related to various bitcoin wallet.  You'll get a better answer.

I don't know of any wallet that 'supports' signing/verifying SW yet.  There is no easy way and no BIP setup to standardize a method.
Trezor backed away
Electrum crashed when signing.

I'm surprised with the issue of SW signing, that people bitch that Byteball can't give you free money by not being able to accept SW signing.
There is a method to sign or verify with a TX using a standard address.  Simply do it.

No.  The November dorp hasn't happened yet.


I would have told him to use a calculator.  Now he'll keep asking you instead.


Haven't seen that on a newly installed wallet other than using a blocking program like a firewall or TOR.
Maybe delete and try again or it probably self solved itself.




LOL Ethereum.  Like there isn't enough alts riding on alts already?  (All the ICO scams people are going to lose money on can't be blamed on BTC, but all those people are going to blame the platform that allowed it - ETH)


The problem is Windows.  Not Byteball.  As you pointed out, you lost a lot of programs and data.
WELL.... Nothing lost, but your profile is a new directory.  Probably a failed update.

So, everything is still in your computer, but programs may need to be reinstall.

The file(s) you're looking for are in the windows data directory for the user (which the name appears to have changed).
So....

Your windows data files are in:    %localappdata%
In my case, that is:  C:\Users\Michail\AppData\Local

Now, if your computer effed up and created a new profile making it appear you lost your information, it's because a new profile was made.   So, it may look like:
C:\Users\Michail.domain\AppData\Local

So, you can copy all the old profile to your new one (docs, spreadsheets, pictures, music, etc).   It's easier to copy/move the info than to go back to the hold directory.

That said, the file(s) you're looking for is:  byteball-light.sqlite

It appears to work for me.

Also, you can go to http://transition.byteball.org/

Fill in a byteball address and it will show the linked bitcoin address and their balances.


I don't see why Byteball would create a brand for you.  I would think that you would create your own brand and advertise it instead of trying to get Byteball to do it for you.  Assets are private by nature (like blackbytes) so there shouldn't be advertising of such.   Maybe I misunderstood what you were hoping to get.  People would then simply create a million assets in hope of getting free advertising for anything/nothing in hopes of being the next millionaire for doing nothing more than pressing a few buttons to get free adverts.

Read the first post.



From the wallet, do a Full Backup.  This is a backup of your bytes and blackbytes into a single encrypted file.
Save that file and use for a Full Restore on the new computer image after you install the byteball app.
