4500 bounty stac, today only 679, i said it in telegram and banned.  Definitely something fishy going on here. I referred a bunch of people and tried to maximize my rewards, but my account is showing less than 500 STAC which is currently worth around $5. I was expecting to get at least $100 or more. I'm not sure if I have screenshots of the previous balances, but I remember being shocked when they suddenly changed the numbers one day. Looks like they've done it again. Smells like scam  |

Maybe this was another reason for cancelling the airdrop -- people would have been even more upset when an endorsed exchange had Gox'd a huge % of users, since GBYTE is only on a few exchanges.
Will the distribution funds be use to reimburse Cryptopia users when people finally admit that Cryptopia ran off with all the bytes?
 thanks mate, this post should definitely go in the top 10 of this thread this probably too "I can't get your points. After the total distribution ending, it can be treated as decentralization." I wish I could laugh with you, really I do. It's no joke: Cryptopia has confiscated a significant % of outstanding bytes, which belong to their customers.Byteball PR needs to address this. Plenty of users are sweating a Cryptopia Goxing for the last 2+ months (coins have been stolen for over 3 months). |

If Byteball is such a shitcoin, why did Cryptopia steal all their customers' GBYTE deposits?
They've confiscated all of the GBYTE on Cryptopia for over 3 months -- since early December.
They don't respond to support tickets. They pretend business is ongoing, but still all the bytes are stolen.
Why do they want bytes so bad?

In other news, GBYTE (Byteball) has been frozen for over 3 months now. Cryptopia is not responding to support requests, even after 20+ days.
The authorities have been alerted. I will contact a NZ lawyer soon.
Believe these "happy endings" and use Cryptopia at your own risk. After 3+ months, I don't ever expect to see the coins they snatched from me again.

if i want someone to do the verifiction, i send them a textcoin with at least 8$ worth of bytes and once he verified i get 20$?
Correct, but he must use the bytes you sent him to pay for the verification. Of course new users have no bytes so you will always get the $20. It's actually an amazing opportunity to refer people. If you can figure out a way to scale to thousands of referrals, you'll be rich in no time. Which is why I say the referral program is good, we just need to wait for it to take off. |

The ID verification system JUST started. It is by no means a failure yet.
Airdrop is not quite the same as burn. An airdrop seems more likely to crash the price, but cause a wider distribution.
it's dead before it even got going. no one is going to go for it in its current form. it's an instant turn off. the fact you have to pay 8 bucks to total strangers each time and it may not even work is laughable. You have a funny definition of dead. People are doing it. You're totally omitting the referral bonus. The program is waiting for some motivated individuals to become power affiliates and start onboarding thousands of users. You're also neglecting the fact that getting crypto is exciting. The $20 can become $200 pretty quickly. |

That is equivalent to just burning the undistributed Bytes. Waiting to see if the methods proposed by Tony to actually bring in new users will be prudent. By and large, the method of distributing Bytes to those who link their real world ids seems to have failed. That doesn't mean that the other proposed methods are not worth trying out.

I just did this. I had previously emailed the NZ Commerce Commission and they never cared to even respond, so I modified my email and sent it to FDRS.
I'm quoting my email here in case it helps anyone else pile on.
That's a brilliant idea. Sure fire way to bring the government etc into things and risk getting them shut down and have everyone lose their money. Bravo! If you read what I wrote, I'm not expecting Cryptopia to voluntarily return my crypto, but if the government gets involved maybe they'll be forced to liquidate their assets and pay me something. If my action causes you to lose your money though, I'll consider that a victory  |

File a complaint to FDRS. Everyone should be doing it.
I just did this. I had previously emailed the NZ Commerce Commission and they never cared to even respond, so I modified my email and sent it to FDRS. I'm quoting my email here in case it helps anyone else pile on. to: enquiries@fdrs.org.nzsubject: Report Regarding a New Zealand Business Greetings Financial Dispute Resolution Service, I am writing you today regarding Cryptopia / cryptopia.co.nz , a New Zealand business. Said company is a cryptocurrency exchange. Part of the function of a cryptocurrency exchange is to temporarily act as a custodian of customer funds in the form of cryptocurrency, while the customer is trading those funds and until the customer requests to withdraw those funds. Cryptopia, however, has disabled the ability of many customers to withdraw certain types of cryptocurrency without a reasonable explanation as to why, and without a reasonable effort to restore the critical withdrawal function. In my case, I've been waiting 3 months already, and I no longer believe Cryptopia intends to return my property to me. This situation has led some to suggest that Cryptopia is purposely scamming customers, that they are insolvent, or that they will soon cease operations and run away with customer funds. Please see the following page for information about the specific cryptocurrency of which Cryptopia has dispossessed me. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2948513I strongly suggest that the Service looks into this matter towards resolution before it spirals out of control and brings a cascade of bad press to New Zealand. Kind Regards, |

I think you're wrong. The last airdrop WAS botched, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Regular people don't even know what decentralized means. And the goal is to get to regular people. Regular people aren't scared to show their ID to a legit company like Jumio.
It takes time to reach the next inflection point, and that's what we're waiting on right now.
Ripple is basically the reference point here. Ripple is 60% undistributed and also still has centralized validators.
Byteball is an app (bot) platform. The relevant metric is the quality of the bots in the bot store. Right now I would describe them as promising, not great. But fortunately building bots is easy, and many more are surely on the way.

To the extent that anyone keeps posting in this thread, I'll keep reminding the community about missing funds. And we're now 3 months in, so it gets bleaker by the day, so as much as it pains me to keep picking the scab, I'm not going to shy away from the truth about Cryptopia and say stuff like "we can't say anything about them."
I'm not going to post scam scam scam every hour or anything, but there are enough people saying this or that about Cryptopia working, deposits and withdrawals coming back, promises of improvement, etc.
If there's a chance Cryptopia is also paying people to post fake positives in here, and there is, I'm going to keep posting the actual truth about them confiscating my money and acting like I don't exist.
I don't expect to get my GBYTE back anymore. My only hope is that this story will be big enough that Byteball uses its distribution funds to reimburse those who were robbed. So I'll keep beating the drum thank you very much.

This is truly disappointing for all of us but until we don't know the answer here we can't say anything about them. Cryptopia is trading an aggregate volume of 1667 BTC as I write and it seems there are many people using it and certainly they are making money from it.
As I stated previously, I'll be more than happy to close this thread soon when we finally get our GBYTE ready for trading again.
We can't say anything about them? Wtf happened to you? Hush money? What they're doing is a point of fact. Confiscating our funds and at the very least, giving us the impression of lost bankrolls for months on end. And more likely at this point, they've straight up robbed us. "We can't say anything about them" is really stupid bro. Their reported volumes mean nothing. If they're on a GOX exit scam, they'll just keep running fake bots on their own exchange until the last possible second. And people like you (the OP of this very thread I might add) are going to believe their numbers and say "we can't say anything." JFC this world is a mess. Is there anyone out there who isn't an agent of crime and sociopathy? |

Just finished a small airdrop for new users who linked their BTC address for the cancelled March airdrop. Total 2022 users. 72 MB to each user. Total distributed amount: 145.584 GB. They received this text from the retired transition bot: As you perhaps already know, the March airdrop was cancelled since balance-based airdrops stopped bringing more value as they used to do. Other formats of airdrop will be exercised later in the process.
Additionally, we are shifting our focus to product and business development.
We understand that some of users spent money to link a BTC address for this airdrop, and while the airdrop was clearly indicated as tentative, we still want you to be a user of Byteball platform, and to allow you to experience its features, we are sending you 72,000,000 Bytes (worth about $30).
I do not profit from it but that's really a nice touch  - well done (The sudden end was a bit abrupt  ) I wonder what % of new users who linked a BTC balance heard about the cancelled airdrop and deleted Byteball before this happened, thinking that they got screwed after the last-minute cancellation. I'm guessing it's a fair number of them. We can consider those tokens "burned" from the distribution. |

Byteball (GBYTE) has been frozen for 3 months. No updates at all. Byteball is a top 100 crypto with no known technical problems. Byteball lead developer has been trying to contact Cryptopia but "it's a waste of time."
My first ticket in December took 10 days to get a response, and then they closed it without giving any help or promises.
Now I've had a second ticket open for 3 weeks and they haven't even responded. Every day I check my account praying for my funds to return but it's always the same nothing. It's really been putting me on edge and having a negative effect on my life. After this I may never use a centralized exchange ever again. I already emptied out all my other exchange balances.
I already contacted one NZ government agency but they never responded. Soon I'll try the FDRS that was recommended as well as contacting a NZ lawyer.
At this point I assume my funds are stolen. The one hope I have is that Byteball will reimburse people like me who were robbed by Cryptopia. Byteball still has 34% of its funds undistributed.
That's pretty much my only hope. I don't expect Cryptopia to ever return my money. They are the new GOX.

The code always comes but that's the only thing that works.
Byteball (GBYTE - a top 100 crypto) has been frozen for almost 3 months.
My coins are confiscated from me and Cryptopia gives no guidance. I will be calling a NZ lawyer soon and let you guys know what can be done.

12 witnesses = centralization = not good
Your reputation here is also nonexistent so I doubt anyone cares what you think. The future decentralization of Byteball remains to be seen. It's not pretending to be anywhere near decentralized yet. When the witnesses are run by real-world, known identities, we can speculate as to how corruptible they are, or how likely they are to collude. Same as Ripple. It seems you are missunderstanding the "reputation" concept with the date of my user sign up or the number of messages of this account. BTW, this is a recently created account because my original one from 2010 was hacked some months ago. So, next time try to answer with arguments instead of using ad hominem attacks. No I'm not misunderstanding anything. If your old account was "hacked" your reputation is even worse -- who are you to talk about network security vv decentralization? You misunderstand the meaning of ad hominem attacks. I simply stated the apparent truth -- your attack on the fundamentals of Byteball is not likely to be respected because you have no reputation for being knowledgable. |
