Having your own byteball address isn't enough to receive blackbytes, you need it to be linked to a bitcoin address. For that you are not obliged to send a micropayment, you can sign your byteball address with your bitcoin address, and give the signature to the bot to link both addresses.

The only way is to link a bitcoin address to a byteball address (you need both). That is if you want to get blackbytes. It doesn't matter if your bitcoin address is empty.

Le projet est en pause actuellement (pour ne pas dire abandonné). Je n'ai pas plus d'infos pour l'instant sur les raisons de cette pause. Si j'arrive à les avoir, j'ajouterai un post dans ce sens.

The trading bot only serves as a book to record potential offers, and might not be a good indicator of the market. Anyone can set any order and vanish, orders do not get filled automatically ...

You can go to the channel and enter OTC, it will list the commands. You'll also surely see commands entered by users in the previous messages.

Currently, there are:
- ~117 610 GB in circulation, for those, 11 761 GB will be distrubted (10%).
- ~111 257 BTC on linked addresses, for those, 6 953 GB will be distributed (0.0625 GB per BTC).

The total is 18 714 GB, that is 1.87% of the total supply for the time being.

Technically, the swap is done automatically but the payout is done manually.

hulla, jwiz168's instructions seem pretty clear. Assuming you have BTCD you want to swap, as jwiz168 said, create an account on http://ico.komodoplatform.com, click on the tab named SWAP to get your BTCD address for the swap and send your BTCD to it. Once you've done that, there is no going back, and you'll have the corresponding KMD depending on the displayed rate. That's it for the swap.

To get your Komodos, click on the tab named PAYOUT and follow the instructions, as jwiz168 said payouts are done manually in batches, the last one was yesterday (Friday), the next one will be on next Friday if there are enough payout requests, otherwise, it will wait an additional week.

You mean you requested a payout? If you did after the last batch has been processed then you are good to wait for the next batch (Friday if there are enough payout requests). Otherwise, if you were in the last batch, then what does the explorer (https://kpx.io) say about your address?

You received bytes and blackbytes. Generally they are traded using giga units: 1 gigabyte = 1 gbyte = 1 gb = 10⁹ byte and 1 gigablackbyte = 1 gbb = 10⁹ blackbyte.

You can trade bytes on https://cryptox.pl or over the counter either on https://byteball.slack.com (#trading), on https://ydx.slack.com (#gb_btc) or by posting in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1728405. You can also use the in-wallet exchange bot as suggested by some, however you should mind the fact that you cannot cancel an order.

You can trade blackbytes only over the counter at #trading_blackbyte on https://byteball.slack.com, #gbb_btc on https://ydx.slack.com or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1728405. For your information, an in-wallet exchange for blackbytes is in development.

The trading bot doesn't permit to cancel an order, so please if anyone advises on using it, it would probably be useful to mention this for any new comer who doesn't know it. Yes, you can work around it by filling your own orders, but this means you should have the corresponding funds, otherwise your order (and funds) is just stuck ...

Why why wht why?

Either you have good reasons or you are just encouraging people to buy a scam coin, cuz this is really what this seems to be (from a very objective point of vue).

Yes you can. If your current Byteball address isn't the one you want to link to, then you should first enter your Byteball address, then your Bitcoin address, the bot will then wait for a signed message, give it to it and it will link the addresses.

Back up the private keys of your addresses, just in case (you damage your wallet database). Right click on an address, then View Private Key and save what's in the WIF field.


Cool , you are welcome.

That's odd because it should be your second address (at least). When you created the wallet, an address was automatically created with it, you then imported your private key to add your ICO address so you should at least have two addresses.

Once synced and with the wallet open, try clicking on Wallet > Rebuild Index.

blackbytes are rather private, when you activate TOR they become anonymous.


Currently, given the fact that all is given for free, that holding bytes is somehow incentivized by the rules of distribution, and that bytes can be exchanged against BTC (mainly on Cryptox), the market doesn't give blackbytes much value ... But yes for users to whom privacy matters, blackbytes should be more valuable.


It is a bit troublesome, as deposits and witthdrawls won't be automatic, either they would be processed manually or we can imagine chatting with a bot to deposit/withdraw. That's because to send/receive them, both devices should be paired, and payment requests done through a chat interface.


Not for the time being.


For now the only relation is that you need bytes to pay for blackbytes' transaction fees.

What you have there is the change sent to your change address (which is also yours). You had 20843 on ATa..., you then sent 11067 to AYm..., when you did that, the rest of your balance (the change) was sent to AbE.... In your wallet, this address should also appear.

Your activity updates once you post a message when the new activity period starts. Your before last message was on Feb the 27^th (the new activity period hadn't started yet at that time). You triggered your activity update with the message you last posted today. As you noticed, your activity updated once you posted that message.

I agree that second ICOers will probably be dumped on by first ICOers when EGS hits exchanges, unless second ICO price is more attractive ... Anyway, the strategy here doesn't seem clear. For starters, they made it sound like EGS might get listed on exchanges before the second ICO, which doesn't make sense. Then, there are many ICO phases planned, and it still doesn't make sense to list EGS on an exchange as long as ICO phases are planned. Moreover, if the price in the subsequent phases is higher than in the first, then new investors will be dumped on as soon as this is exchangeable. I really don't see the motives behind this, and it's too bad that no one steps forward to explain what is really the goal here ...

Did you try opening your database in rebuild mode and/or rebuild the index when your wallet is opened?


Do you have many addresses? For instance, if you participated in the ICO you had one address. When you created your wallet, you had a second; and if you did transactions, it probably got used as a change address. So did you check all the addresses from your wallet on the explorer?

Did you try using a folder backed up on one computer, on another one? I remember reading about users who tried it and it didn't work (even though it was the same operating system on both computers).

The number of rounds is not known in advance, it will depend on the rules (if they stay the same or change) and on the linked BTC amount.
