I cannot access my waves inside my Nano Ledger - The exchange app which I've installed on Windows 7 does not see the Ledger or anyway does not offer me the chance to "import account" as outlined in instructions. WTF? The process should be a no-brainer and yet I'm stuck for one hour already. This totally sucks.
Any ideas?

I've seen Obyte has now started a discussion on Twitter/Reddit on the them of the draw - to continue or not this distribution lottery or to change it into perhaps a daily or even a hourly draw. As I've said in the past, I'd be in favor of either abolishing the lottery, or perhaps turn it into a daily/hourly one, which at least would benefit many more people. Concerns of price dumping if the lottery is abolished are quite irrelevant in my view - sooner or later the distribution will end and we'll have to face the market anyway.

Congratulation to the whole community for the airdrop, and even more for what it actually means. Now Bancor should be decoupled from ETH - as far as the market is concerned. I wonder when the price will finally take off for real.

I didn't think I should explain it in full, but since you don't get it I will. Obyte's original plan was to have institutions to act as witnesses. Ask Tonych if you don't believe it. This is difficult, as Tonych lately said. Nevertheless, this goal should still be pursued. Offering bytes to them could ease things. Anyway, they would not accept them if they are not interested, since they wouldn't understand the usefulness of accepting.  It is written "distribution do Institution" but it reads "onboarding institution."


Only my skills in logic, but I understand this will sound very mysterious to you.
As of the argument that it is not producing adoption - which is actually my point - this is self evident, all the bytes go to single people who have already adopted Obyte, which means zero new adopters added.


Yes, it will motivate idiots. You are a dev I guess, have you ever heard of the laws of probability? Lotteries appeal only to VERY stupid people who can't understand probabilities. You have usually a higher chance of getting in a car accident than to win at a lottery - so to base your actions on the hope to win a lottery is totally stupid. Moreover, why would you have to win a "positive" lottery? Perhaps the lottery you end up winning a negative lottery instead - ie the car accident one. So my question now is: is Obyte's plan that of selecting idiots as preferred holders? I guess you know how natural selection works.
By the way, I am holding my bytes - but NOT because of the lottery. In spite of the lottery. I hold bytes because I believe in the project, which is NOT a stupid reason to hold bytes - as it instead would be the lottery reason.


I have acknowledged that there are good ways of distribution, and I deeply respect that. I was just asking for more in substitution of the idiotic way. If there is no new good way, just keep the bytes until a good way appears. I've mentioned the Hedera Hashgraph example for a good reason: patience is an option.


I have to admit I was unaware of the grants for non-developers and I apologize for that. Happy to hear there is this option. Perhaps this part should be put in better evidence for the community.


If I'll get any precise idea I surely will. I agree it is not easy. The only easy thing to do is to abolish the stupid lottery.


You are a dev but you can't properly read or count or both or more likely you may have problems to understand what you've read. Read again. Read better. I've been asking just for 2 bytes - or 2 cents, at your choice. It's probably one of the rare cases in Obyte where to send this "free money" has higher fees that the value of what you would be actually sending.

It is so painful to watch such a good project getting down to the most trivial level by distributing bytes through a lottery. Among all the ways I could think at, this is probably the stupidest. It does NOT create adoption. It doesn't motivate anyone intelligent to do anything useful for the project, as only idiots with zero understanding of probabilities believe they can win at a lottery.
It pisses off 99.99% of the holders who never win - which means every week they feel they always lose. Thank you Obyte. Psychology anyone? Obyte may have superb coders, but certainly when it comes to notions of psychology it totally sucks. Zero. Nada. Nichts. ничего. 没什么
Other projects out there, like Hedera Hashgraph, have prepared accurate decades-long plans for distributing their coins and achieve decentralization. It's amazing how accurate such plans are (this doesn't mean that their plans don't have flaws, which they have, but at least it's a well thought plan)
I know your objection that you ALSO have good plans of distribution - tech bounties etc.
Fine, then stop with the stupid lottery nonsense and expand your bounty plans. Or try to onboard big institutions and fund them with bytes. Or if you really cannot think at new useful ways to distribute bytes then PAY with bytes people who CAN.
Since you are coders you can think only at making bounties for coders - how stupid can a genious be? Make bounties for the tasks you are totally incompetent for!

Have you ever heard of unknown unknowns? You seem to be rather blind towards the things you ignore - ie you even ignore that you ignore them. Otherwise you would have set bounty programs time ago to reward people able to do what you obviously can't. Or perhaps, as coders you intimately despise any skills which is not connected to coding - and this is why you'd pay bounties only for coders.
So childish.
So first of all please abolish this stupid, useless lottery which is harming the project by waisting bytes that could be spent usefully.
Second of all, pay me a bounty for having suggesting you one first right thing to do.
My two cents - or bytes.

This is not exactly a mass adoption scenario.
My sensation is that this is a project by nerds for nerds, all of them dreaming for a mass adoption without being willing to do their homework on what is necessary in the real world for a mass adoption of a currency.
You have built a Ferrari. Cooool! Supercool! Ooops, it doesn't have the wheels, sorry, well, who cares. The cool part of a car aren't the wheels anyway.
This is a crypto coin without any security, where you can't protect the wallet. A car without wheels.
Well, but it's a cool Ferrari.

Is there a way to protect the browser webdollar wallet while you are staking? Otherwise in case of viruses, hackers etc, it becomes too dangerous once you'd have some real value in play.

A lot of development is happening with Obyte. Just think at the prosaic contracts, which alone is a tool theoretically able to change the way ordinary people do ordinary contracts worldwide. If they only knew. It will take time I guess.

I see from the previous posts that I'm not the only one who cannot get the PoS to work at all. I've been leaving the browser open for one week mining webdollars as I was on travel and when I've come back not a sincle coin had been mined. And I have a few hundred of thousand coins to stake there - LoL.
Farewell to a lot of expensive electricity.

This coin is a farce, not just because it does not keep its promises and it does not work, but because the team is so arrogantly in denial of that and they are continuing to praise their * amazing * technical skills, without any reality check whatsoever - which means the problems are not getting adressed and they are not getting solved.
So much waisted time. A real pity.

CosmosCR looks like a really cool project but I don't understand why the community has suddenly gone so silent and nobody is answering to inquires any more... Thread seems to be dying....

Is there any one pager depicting the status of the project? I've been here months ago and I can't read the whole discussion, and moreover the OP is now totally inaccurate.

Deciding to cancel the ICO is a tough but wise decision. 99% of people out there have probably already lost 99% of their money buying tokens in ICOs in 2017-2018 which has made them more cautious.
Moreover, projects which rely only on community engagement and no ICO gain usually an unmatched level of trust in the community.

Nice rebranding, even though I find that the words byte and bit are too inflated in the cryptospace - too many coins have those words in their names - so a more radical change of name could have been more effective to better stand out from the crypto-crowd.

Anyway I guess now you should adjust the Obyte signatures for Bitcointalk for those supporters like me who like to wear it even though there is no signature campaign as a motivation.

OMG if you have played Simcity you must be almost my age. That is the last game I've ever played with, one life ago   Would be great to have features or bubbles of reality or sub-worlds which would function as games as addictive as Simcity inside the CosmosCR virtual world. Meta-virtual worlds withing a virtual world.

I'd have no problem in attesting my wallet, and was even planning to do it, but not exactly using the address where I'm keeping all my funds. So I guess this lottery makes little sense for me. I'm allergic to lotteries anyway - it's dangerous to hope to win a lottery because you never know WHICH lottery you will end up winning - and most of the lotteries out there are just waiting to get someone killed.

Interesting, did anyone investigate, by checking the byteball addresses of those large holders of concurrent projects, if it is them to have constantly dumped bytes over the months?

It's true that critics with reason is so much more important than brainless hype for the long term success of a project. However a continuos daily (or even hourly) whining on the levels of "OH MY GOSH I DIDN'T LAMBO YET SO THIS COIN IS A SHIT" is frankly boring and scarcely useful. It must be said that this level of losers posts is quite common these days across the ANN threads of this forum, as most of the coins out there have lost between 80% and 99% of their ATH price and soo many people are soo sorry they didn't dump at ATH and then lambo.
Byteball's developement is moving forwards at a nice pace - that's the only important issue here.

The decline of ICOs are right now just the decline of ICOs on Ethereum, Because ETH is depreciating sharply as a consequence of too many ICO's teams selling ETH worth hundreds Millions of $ which they have raised in the ICOs. This crisis of Ethereum could prove very useful for Byteball becoming a serious competitor as a platform for ICOs.

Well, community based means actually community based, so keeping the community up to date with any news of interest should be the priority number one of the team, which reading the history of posting here seems not really. This aspect has definetly to be improved here if you want to keep a community around your project beyond your local Romanian Telegram group.
