How disappointed for Tsonga, he lost his service game today and lost the match. Match was Interrupted yesterday and was continued today but Querry played great that one game and finished the job. Crazy scenario, we can not see this very often.Match against Djokovic and Gulbis is starting right now. Lets see is Djoko ready for high achievement...

Djokovic won in straight sets against Gulbis. Only the last set was close, going into a tie braker.
Djoko as usual got into an argument with the umpire, but that seems to have increased his focus.  Smiley

so about 5% of total BTC in circulation been linked with byteball!!!

The speed of linking bitcoins seems to be increasing as the d-date approaches.
~925k bitcoins linked right now.
That means ~125k bitcoin linked in the last few hours.  Smiley

Yeah I got curious too about this segwit and what would happens in the price of bitcoin after the segwit,
Just hope that it would make bitcoin transaction faster and lower fees and hope that the price would increase.

The number of transactions would certainly increase and hopefully, we could have some respite from transaction backlog. The question is whether this is too little, too late. This is certainly not a long-term solution.

As i understood, 7th dealing out will take place soon. I wonder how many in total will be made and if we joined once with an address already, can we participate again with the same address. Little information will be appreciated. And one last question... Is Blackbyte going to be in a market soon? After all, this would be the real progress for the developement of the project as being added on a market is the best marketing you can do.

Just make sure that you don't make the mistake of linking your bitcoin address to a different byteball address again. Then both byteball addresses won't receive the air drop. All linkages you made during previous rounds are valid.

Well, maybe.

From what I understand....
If you link BTC addy to Byteball address A via Sig, and then link the same BTC addy to Byteball address B via Sig, it will be fine to address B.
or
If you link BTC addy to Byteball address A via TX, and then link the same BTC addy to Byteball address B via Sig, it will be fine to address B.

The issue to get the BTC basically ignored is if you try to link the BTC addy via TX to two different Byteball addresses.  Via SIG takes on the prior two above examples.


OP's post mentions that if the same Bitcoin address is linked to multiple Byteball address, both links are ignored.
It doesn't talk about whether the link is via Tx or via Signatures....

You have two options to prove your Bitcoin balance:
a.  By making a micropayment.  The bot will see your address the payment came from, will know that it is your address, and will instruct you to move your Bitcoins to this address.  By making several micropayments, you can link several Bitcoin addresses to the same Byteball address.
b.  By signing a message (if your Bitcoin wallet supports this function).  You tell the bot your Bitcoin address and sign your Byteball address with the Bitcoin address.  After you prove one address (a typical Bitcoin wallet has dozens of them), you can either move all your coins to this single proven address or prove all other addresses in the same way -- by signing a message. 

If you try to link the same Bitcoin address to multiple Byteball addresses, both links are ignored. If you did this by mistake, link another Bitcoin address.

What a thriller Konta's match against Donna Vekic turned out to be! Konta managed to win, which would please the British fans.
The final set was stretched by Vekic, which Donna finally managed to win 10-8.
986  Economy / Speculation / Re: price getting down on: July 05, 2017, 12:44:20 PM
I hope it drops a bit more. atleast at 2000$. time to stock up indeed!
1500 $ I prefer ...
It does not matter then go up another 2400 $
Its time to buy dollars and exchange with Bitcoin. Grin
The price of Bitcoin goes up and down, if someone dumps a portion of his coin then they have a small chance where they could make a few bucks if the price gets a little lower. Considering the transaction cost and Bitcoin Exchange fees there is a bunch of people that don’t calculate that and lose a bunch of money doing that though.

A bit smarter for choosing the right moment. Buying with 50% of this capital is quite safe. Then sell it when the price is attractive. Cool
Today the price seems little increased and we're getting to cross $2500. The growth is taking place in a stable manner, but in the past the price increase was happening in big multiple and in a short falls to some extent and then insert again stabilty growth happens keeping the price high. Expect the same to happen before the month end.

People are just waiting to see what the UASF "threat" gives, I fully expect a quick surge once that threat comes and goes.
UASF what is it?
I just heard the term, can you explain a little understanding!

You must be living under a rock if all the ruckus about UASF has by-passed you.
UASF stands for User Activated Soft Fork. Google it.

Alot of mens matches cancelled/incompleted due to retirement of those matches players.
A total of six men alone took themselves out early including the Roger Ferderer and Novak Djokovic match ups today

Novak was even saying during his after match press conference they should of not been able to participate in the Wimbeldon tournament if they just wanted to get this far to just "Give Up!" without playing until the match is over.
He goes on by saying there were others who would of loved to be in that spot and been able to finish their matches to not disappoint the fans who pay good money to watch these matches just to be given half a match instead.
There is a rule stating they are only able to withdraw themselves from a match being so far into the tournament they are taking a part of only twice a year or they forfeit their prize money by getting this far. But he does say they should be fined if they pull themselves out of a match without a injury to themselves.
Which was the case with all the 6 retirements of today's matches which Djokovic was a part of. Undecided

Yeah, the issue is the rule about still getting prize money if you withdraw didn't apply in any of the Grand Slams yet, which is probably one of the reasons Fed and Djok's opponents tried to play on - GBP 35,000 on the line. Had they only implemented it for Wimbledon, we might have had better 1st round matches. And maybe a few less "fee wins" for informed punters.

This is sad. If people try to play matches when they are not fit and do not expect to win, just to get "appearance fees", it really isn't good for the game. But can action can be taken against the "informed" punters?

- Bitcoin holders probably will get less bytes in further airdrops, so they will need to buy bytes if they want more money.
- With the USD value increasing, more and more people will want to buy gbyte and participate in next distributions, because is a lot of easy money.
- There are at least more 5 airdrops to come.

I think gbyte price will be between 0.5 and 1 btc in long term.

The number of airdrops might decrease, but I think that the number of bytes which will be distributed in each round pert BTC is going to be 0.062
Since the price drops after every distribution, you can't call buying GB for the air drop as easy money....

Brits will be watching the performance of Johanna Konta closely. She is the British #1 and lots of people have high hopes on her. She won her first match pretty easily, defeating Hsieh Su-Wei 6-2, 6-2.
This is actually a relief, since Hsieh Su-Wei beat her in the French Open a couple of months back.
991  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should long term holders sell before August 1st? on: July 04, 2017, 12:36:52 AM
Being a long term bitcoin holder i am little scared.some people are even saying bitcoin might fall to zero after August 1st.is that even a possibility?should i sell my bitcoins to cashout profits and wait it out? or should i keep holding? i want to hold bitcoin for another 4-5 years.so if the bitcoin prize falls after August 1st which is a very high chance then will it ever recover? what's the safe thing to do?

If you are a long term holder, just ignore the activity around Bitcoin and sit tight. Even if there is a split, you will hold coins on both chains. In the end, at least one of them will succeed and you can cash out your coins.

32,341+51,098= 83,439 new gb added to the one in circulation which in total will bring to 338,931 gb in circulation.
Yes that's 1/3 of all gbytes.
Yes i think in this rate we will have at least 3 more airdrops[/size].[/center]


32,341+51,098= 84,544 new gb added to the one in circulation which in total will bring to 340,036 gb in circulation.
Yes that's 1/3 of all gbytes.
Yes i think in this rate we will have at least 4 more airdrops[/size].[/center]

Why is the estimate of number of airdrops increasing? As more and more btc get linked, more gbytes should be distributed in this round.
If anything, the number of estimated airdrops should decrease...

Federer had an easy time to dispatch of Alex Zverev today in the Halle championship.
The first set showed this and Alexy was getting very frustrated early on and this showed in his face.
He fell a few times in teh match and I thought he was going to retire from this finals match with an injury.
But he is contender and did not give up. Even against the odds of a healthy Roger Federer.

It was a pretty easy victory for Federer, winning in straight sets 6-1 6-3. It was sweet revenge for Federer, because Alex Zverev had beaten him last year in the semi-finals. He looks to be in extremely good touch for Wimbledon.
Right , we can see a lot of difference between the last year's Federer and this years. It holds good to Nadal too because of his new forehand Smiley We can expect Nadal and Federer beating all the NewGen stars like Thiem , Zverev , Khachanov in this Wimbledon .

I think those veterans are not yet ready to give their position. Although the young guns are really climbing, Nadal and Federer are also upping their game as well. So I think both of them will really show that they still have it to compete with the young generations.

They still are managing to win titles, defeating challengers who are in the prime of their youth. I think it would be better for the game as a whole if a young challenger arises and manages to beat these veterans. Competition improves performance on the court.

The eth withdrawals were a bit lagged, but they came every time.

Reddit poloniex : https://www.reddit.com/r/PoloniexForum/
combined whit other forums and media sources is clear that there are hundreds of people having problems now.

Everyone should be cautious and don't play whit too mutch money on it for now.
And the fact that no official answer regarding all this issues especially whit withdrawals is very very strange to me. Stay safe

I have met some problem about withdrawing my ETH from the Poloniex, I hope this lag can be solved.

I think the problem is more to do with the currency than the exchange. Most problems are experiencing issues with ETH.
Poloniex is one of the largest exchanges today - the Mt Gox of our times. If anything goes wrong with it, we are in trouble.

Now anyone see bitcoin has been reached at $1504. It is superb for me and also for all investors of bitcoin.
Since last year in 2016 in this month bitcoin was under $400 to $550. So now we see in this time bitcoin has a double or triple price. So its mean the next coming year in 2018 bitcoin will be reached at $2500 to 3000.
Am i right? what's your opinion?
Bitcoin has already reached around $2,850 in April this year and now its price has temporarily fallen to $2400.But we could soon expect bitcoin price to recover especially after August 1st.Bitcoin price may once again trigger reaching new heights.Bitcoin price could reach $3,500 by this year end.

Nothing to worry. A correction is always healthy. I know that this seems like a crash to many bitcoiners. But in crypto unverse, we can take this as a correction  Wink
Stay positive, add some with extra fiat you have. Lots of good coins have corrected due to panic selling. This is the time to jump in and HODL all the way.

With this traceback, all we have done is erase the last month's gains.  Roll Eyes
There is no reason to get bearish because of this. Treat it like an opportunity to get some cheap coins.
996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins is going down for real. on: June 26, 2017, 02:10:42 PM
Why is it in the past 24 hrs almost all of the altcoins is going down atleast 10 percent in value even though bitcoin's price is steady at $2.5k. Is it contrary or something is really happening. Any thoughts?

Bitcoin has not been steady. It is moving down, albeit slowly.
The alts are more sensitive to the underlying market sentiment. In a downtrend, they tend to fall much more than Bitcoin.
997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC is the only coin to survive on: June 26, 2017, 02:01:52 PM
Most of the top coins are crashing, only ETC stays at stable price. Why? And will it pump when the market recover or just stay at this price level?

It is a delusion that ETC is stable. ETC is crashing too.
If you want to see the ETC vs ETH exchange rate, there is some improvement, but it is still way below what it was immediately after the fork.
When ETC = 0.1 ETH, we can start considering it as an alternative.
998  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this right time to buy bitcoin?? on: June 26, 2017, 10:24:17 AM
If I may suggest, it is time to start buying bitcoin. Because if I see bitcoin now in a stable state the price! And it will probably continue well in the next few weeks. Purchasing bitcoin at this time has a good advantage. .

The price has dipped a bit, from the stable range of around $2700. If you are planning to accumulate over the long term, buying at these dips is a good strategy. The price has dropped to $2550 now...

Guys sorry to ask a newb question, but is there a secure wallet that can hold majority of coins?

If not, can I ask the reason why? I would be happy to pay $5 a month for a decent wallet that could do this.

Also whats the deal with syncing wallets. I have heard this can take DAYS nevermind hours!

To be honest with all the annoyances with wallets sometimes i feel its easier to just keep coins on the exchanges even know there's a risk of being hacked

This and transaction fees are one reason why I try to restrict myself to the top few coins.
Even when I do take a position in specific alts, I try to square it off in a matter of days.
I am okay to take a risk of few days on exchanges.
