It's just impossible to download a full node, same problem as Ethereum.

On chain scaling has been proved to be impossible. ^

This shows why we need small blocks and a second layer for scaling.

unlike ethereum byteball has no blocks

Sure, but it still has a chain of transactions which has become so massive that a full node can't be downloaded on a desktop computer.



it depends on your connection speed, I think most full nodes use remote servers

Byteball Bytes Price Prediction

" If you are looking for virtual currencies with good return, GBYTE can be a bad, high-risk 1-year investment option. Byteball Bytes price equal to 42.580 USD at 2018-10-11, but your current investment may be devalued in the future. "

Byteball is a currency for gamblers and players. Exactly this impression he also conveys name.

Should the general public finally take this currency seriously, first of all a change of name would be necessary. But the management shows itself very little insightful and unwilling in this direction.
And that is not the only point...

its not for gamblers, gambling is just a current use case

The name (Byteball) suggests something completely different. And this is precisely the point of criticism: The naming

But this argumentation again shows clearly how unwilling one is to encounter public criticism.

more FUD from newbie accounts on bitcointalk

Bittrex delisting is coming guys, last chance to sell shit Cry
Am I missing something here or are you just spreading FUD to scoop up some cheap BYTEBALL? Just checked the link for Bittrex's coin removal[1] and haven't seen any shadow of BYTEBALL being listed there. If you are indeed telling the truth, would you mind to sharing the information to us and provide the link where you get that?

An issue with PoW is that some miners are greedy. They want to earn high transaction fees, but users want low fees. There is an inherent conflict of interest between users and miners. Byteball has fair fees. You pay 1 byte in fees to add 1 byte to the DAG. Simple.

I see that again and again there are people here who claim that Byteball should be not be listed in Gigabytes in exchanges since this would be harming the price, because investors would perceive the high cost of one Gigabyte very expensive. I have always been against the "tactical" idea of scaling down the official unit of measurement just for the purpose to benefit the price. Tony has always stated that he is not interested in the price but in the distribution of the coin, and I have always agreed on that.

But then, I've also seen Byteball listed in Gigabytes on Coinmarketcap and something has suddenly clicked in my mind.
The fact that Byteball is measured in Gigabytes is not a problem because this is harming its price.

The fact that Byteball is measured in Gigabytes is a problem because it is crucially violating Byteball's mission number one: to achieve mass adoption.

Even though Byteball's monetary base is consisting in billions of bytes, only 650.000 Gigabytes or so are existing now, and max supply will be 1 Million.
Therefore, if you are thinking in terms of Gigabytes, mass adoption is virtually impossible. People will always feel the frustration of not being able to own even one single Gigabyte and they will likely not even take into consideration the currency. Since there are whales who own a lot of Gigabytes, people who will be able to afford one entire Gigabyte will be in the thousands - best case scenario. This is NOT mass adoption.
People will argue that something similar is happening with Bitcoin - most of the people today can afford to own only fractions of a Bitcoin. But this, in fact, is one of the main problems of Bitcoin, people have always to carefully count how many zeroes there are before the quantity of satoshis of their transactions. This is totally absurd and in fact Bitcoin today is used only as a speculative store of value, and NOT as a real currency.
Byteball aimed to be better, but if the total monetary base is consisting in just 1 Million coins the fact is that it has just AMPLIFIED 21 times this problem of Bitcoin, it has not at all solved it. There will be max 21 Million Bitcoins, and Byteball won't ever have more than one Million Gigabytes. If you are thinking in term of Gigabytes, you have just made the problem 21 times worse. And now we are thinking in terms of Gigabytes. When I'm speaking with my friend we are talking about how many Gigabytes we have, not Megabytes or Bytes. This is a mistake.

We have to think at Gigabytes as we are thinking at the Million of dollars.

The few who can afford owning the Gigabytes are the rich elite, just like those who are owning the Million of dollars. Most of the people don't own Million of dollars (or euros), they just own dollars (or euros). Perhaps thousands of Euros/Dollars ("grands"), but not Millions.
And if Byteball will achieve mass adoption most of the people won't own Gigabytes, they will just own Bytes. Or Kilobytes. If you consider bytes to be cents, then you should consider the ideal unity of Byteball being Kilobytes. Not even Megabytes. Megabytes would somehow semantically sound like the "grands" - one thousand dollars or pounds according to the urban dictionary of FIAT money.
Just as you don't buy a packet of cigarettes with 0.00001 Million of Dollars, you shouldn't have to buy it with 0.001 Gigabytes.
This all could seem a trivial problem to many, but it is not. Reality is a state of mind and perception is playing a fundamental role in the shaping of reality.
To use Gigabytes to measure Byteball generates a cognitive dissonance with the mission of achieving mass adoption. It makes feel Byteball to be an elitarian coin/platform, not a popular one. The exchanges, and more than that Coinmarketcap, are the places where the measurment unit of Byteball is officialized. If exchanges and Coinmarketcap will tell Gigabytes, people will think in Gigabytes, and this makes no sense, since in ordinary life you don't think in terms of Million of Dollars/Euros. That would be crazy. And to insist to speak about Byteball in terms of Gigabytes is crazy too. It basically makes bo sense.

As I've said, I'm not interested in the price of Byteball. In a healthy environment the price is just a natural consequence. But I am interested in seeing one little problem corrected, which alone is able to jeopardize Byteball's entire mission, since it's in complete dissonance with the "philosophy" of Byteball.

Just my two cents (or Bytes)

I absolutely agree, thanks for taking the time to write this

when are we relisting the units as mbytes or bytes??

first bit of good news here for some time

this will have a good impact for the next bull run bringing in the next swarms of people that believe cheap random unit size is important and not looking at MC
We aren't. Where is all this FUD coming from? lol - this Pineappleexpress idiot has got you all spreading rumours

FUD?

how can this positive move requested by many in this community be fud?



I (and many, many ,any others) 100% agree with you, its a common request from the community which clearly makes sense to do

seeing as some people are just trying to spread FUD (without linking to a source) about Byteball on this thread heres some good news. I am the source:

Byteball Bytes will soon be listed on Binance, and Donald Trump will make the annoucement end of October at the White House. Buy order ready



thoughts?

Our Events and Partnerships Manager, Luke Angell, was speaking about ICOs at the Future of Blockchain event in Barcelona last week. ICOs are here to stay, but the days of two guys with just a whitepaper and a laptop raising millions of dollars are probably gone.  Cool

Congratulations to Genievot who has won 2,160 Megabytes from an additional community funded prize for a project from http://Utopian.io  (a Steem community of open source developers) that also included #Byteball.

How to raise ICO funds (without all the hassle)

Luke Angel of Byteball recorded a video overview of the Byteball ICO offering. The general feedback has been that the Byteball ICO offering is compelling, but the video audio isn't the best.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM4pDewNDzc&feature=youtu.be

We will be adding a new ICO section to the Byteball website soon. It has taken longer than expected to build, but it is near completion.  Cool


Sound could have been better, but the content is topnotch.  Cool

Movie stars love red carpets, but red couches are the future (like DAG).
