Agreed. But this does not change the fact that there are practically no merchants accepted bytes. No ico's accepted bytes. And the saddest thing is that there is not even a hint that it will happen.

This is not a foreign currency but candy wrappers that were distributed free of charge. If you look at the amount distributed to the one hands, you will understand that the sale is not worth the effort.
Read this thread, the only participant who was able to see the use cases is you:)
btw there is no any ongoing ico on Obyte

lol man Obyte has zero use cases

if you earn btc when BTC rises, you earn USD as well
if you earn usd when BTC rises, that's mean better to hold BTC. Less risks higher profits
Most of the coins i followed was in top 50 at the bull and stay in top 50 at the bear. Byteball falled much more of average

One more scam from the same people?

What i can buy in Bot Store? I'm not a gambler and i don't need your insurance. I do not understand why you deny the obvious. Obyt has no use cases. It is not your personal fault. Most altcoins are not destined to reach adoption

топ 10 по обьеу за какой промежуток времени? Я так прикинул там от 7 до 9 гавнобирж в топе. Шансы не очень

My opinion is that the project was initially overvalued, including by me. But as time moved, the flaws began to show up as acne on the skin of a teen. After all it doesn't scale because tonych do not know how to scale it

confirmation takes 10+ minutes for me. What you do to get fast confirmations?

Real world adoption (how it looks ) https://medium.com/fluidity/factor-805-introducing-dai-into-security-tokens-a02a98f69cd9
imo MKR will be the best performer for the next years

Помогите понять. Нашел такую цифру в 30 tps. Это скорость синхронизации дага 0байта. Например вчера появляется популярное приложение и сеть начинают забивать под завязку. Через 2 года даг раздуется до терабайта. Теперь новичок (бизнес, биржа, неважно) запускает фулл валет и ждет синхронизации 2 года? Но через эти 2 года даг раздует уже до 2 терабайтов. В то время как наши двухгодовалые новички засинхронили только первый терабайт. Теперь вся эта тема растет, народ начинает выключать ноды. В итоге новый пипл неспособен присоедениться, старики выходят. В один прекрасный день остается только 12 нод хранящих всю историю.
Теперь свидетель Иван решает завязать. Потом свидетель Петр, Сауль и Николя. В это время новые свидетели пытаются безуспешно нагнать точку стабильности. И вот семь свидетелей аут, сеть не способна распознать даблспенды. Как это устроено в красивом будущем?

What is the max size of the single transaction you can create in Obyte? How long will it take to process a 100 Gb weight transaction? Will such a transaction be able to disable the nodes?

You not limiting yourself, you just use what you need and drop all unnecessary. For most of the merchants only simple payments are necessary. Recurring payments are useful for some business, but as you said even PayPal provide it.

You listed the functions, but the question was not about that. As a merchant you don't need ico, smart payments, insuranse, betting and other. You need only add payment button on your site and spend money from sales. That's all. Why Obyte button is better than Visa or ETH button? Why as a merchant i will prefer Obyte over ETH?
There is only one reason - the size of the community aka spenders. If i see that my customers want Obyte, i will add Obyte. There is no difference will on the button logo btc, eth or visa. Merchants want to sell their goods and they don't get a fuck about textcoins.

There is no need to be ultra illegal or ultra legal. Both markets are open and it would be great to be accepted on both. But both legal and illegal markets completely ignore Obyte.

what Obyte can offer to a legal merchant, that can't offer PayPal (visa, alipay, eth/dai and so on)?

Small miners turned off the farms, large miners mined at the expense of previous profits
March 2018 Bitmain holdings:
BTC       22,082
BCH 1,021,306
Now
BTC      6,000 (liquidated 70%)
BCH 750,000 (liquidated 25%)

could you shutdown witnesses of tonych for a day and we will see how transactions will not be censored? By the way is Tony still alive? Asking because haven't seen any meetup with him for a while. He must be doing something for real world adoption in his hole?
on a serious note why you still didn't replace even half of the witnesses? Is no one interested in breakthrough technology? Any hedge funds invested in Obyte? Any payment processors accepted Gbyte? Online merchants? Where is the results of your underground work?
i mean ok, you don't like illegal things. Where is the legal things then? Even random pornocoin will have more usecases then Obyte. Shame

1. Different miners have different economic costs. There are miners who will stop mining at $3k, while others will still be fine at $2k. I'm predict nothing. Price can go up, price can go down, price can stay the same. I don't know lol. The same for hashrate. Predict something can people who own necessary information. Like how many farms will be off at X price. The same applies to the price, if you have information about cash flows and plans of billionaires, then perhaps you can predict the price movement.
https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate?timespan=all you can see correlation of hashrate with BTC price
3. This time is different. Capitalization has increased significantly. Bandwidth has reached the limit. That means we know that Bitcoin is unusable in big scale. You expect a big scale when you think about the next bull run, because you need really much money to push this cap even higher. In the end, it doesn't even matter. A sample of two interactions has no value. Throwing a coin twice and seeing two times one side, you will not say that the coin has no other side or that you can to predict the future. You look like an avid casino visitor who, seeing 5 times red in a row, puts everything on black
 Lightning is in beta on very early stages, there nothing to talk about.
5. Because there no difference now or in 2125. If you ignore usd inflation, people will find $1k fees per tx unusable at any BTC price and any point of time. Replacing the subsidy with transaction fees is possible only if the volume of onchain transactions is increased. Bitcoin community seems strongly reject it. Speculation about their future behavior make no sense.
Do not know what you want to bring here with SegWit. Segwit is a malleability fix mainly. As a side effect, we got an ineffective increase of the block. SegWit reduces transaction size, so miners can put more transactions in the block. While the amount of data moving through the network remains the same. Roughly we got x2 transactions in the 1mb block, but also we got x4 to the amount of data moving through the network. So it would be better to have 4mb blocks with x4 transactions instead. But again SegWit had other goals.
Honestly i think Obyte is a step backward compared to Bitcoin. You may disagree, i'd recommend to read early Bitcoin posts. People tried to escape from Obyte model in 2010, now it's called crypto 3.0 though lol

1. Retail miners will not mining BTC in loss for a long time and will shut down their farms. Big farms may do it some time and don't sell BTC in loss, but after all they become bankrupt. You can google these stories.
2. The price is formed not only by miners. The share of new generated coins is below 0.9%. This is a consensus between all sellers and buyers. If miners do not sell at the market price, they will not receive fiat and will not be able to pay bills. They will have to close the farms, mining difficulty will decreasing until reaches the break-even point.
3.
- Correlation does not imply causation
- Historical events are a reflection of the past and not a forecast of the future
- Past performance is no guarantee of future results
- for any conclusions you need a sample of 1000 halvings at least. You make conclusions with sample of 1 halving.
I ddn't say it won't or it will. That's you speak as if you came to us from the future. I am only pointing out flaws in your story. And actually this time is different. Capitalization has increased significantly. Bandwidth has reached the limit (I mean that now it is not just a story of haters).
4. The whole logic of Bitcoin mining distribution is not the law. It can work just as well as not work.
5. Do you mean if BTC will cost $100mm now, it will be fine to pay $1k fees? . The whole logic of Bitcoin mining was fair distribution of coins and network protection. I doubt that the idea was to subsidize miners at the expense of buyers. You can find Satoshi's posts on this forum and read everything yourself. The fact is that 1mb block size was a temporary solution to a problem called spam. Initially there were no block size limit. It is logical to assume that under such conditions miners would live at the expense of volume (volume of transactions) and not at the expense of high fees or subsidies. But again, now it become political. So read yourself, in any case it is interesting to find out how it all began.

halving does not reduce the number of coins in circulation, but only reduces the printing of new ones.
328500 btc will not be mined annually next years after this halving or less than 1.9% of the supply in circulation. It is unlikely that this is enough to change anything other than a hashrate.
besides that a shit show can't last forever. It possible that it was the last cycle for useless altcoins.
besides that bitcoin is in bad position. It need to keep big hashrate to be safe against 51 attack. This is achieved either by an ever-increasing price, or by fees. Both scenarios unrealistic. Nothing is grow forever. Users will not use system with $100 fees. Community rejected a proposal to increase the block, therefore, increasing the pool of fees by increasing the number of users (without increasing the fees themselves) also will not work.

Obyte do nothing for wide adoption. Or obyte do something for wide adoption, but world don't need another "Ivan print own best money" altcoin. Every day some guy create a new altcoin for wide adoption, nobody cares about it. It looks like a psychiatric hospital with Napoleon's, beyond its borders no one knows about their existence. Obyte reddit even don't get a 100 subscribers  . There is not a single payment processor receiving bytes after a 2 years of existence lol. What wide adoption are you talking
