I noticed Byteball has a free lottery on Facebook, giving away 3 x 5 MBYTE.

I have another Giveaway idea:
Start a giveaway in which every Bitcointalk account which has earned at least 10 Merit points can claim x MBYTE (exclude accounts with red trust to limit (Merit) abusers).
The value of "x" can be decided by Tony. If x = 10, it may cost 10 GBYTE per month tops (for 1000 users). That's several orders of magnitude cheaper to reach new users than the airdrop to Bitcoin holders. Optionally, x could be higher for highly rated users.
This giveaway can be promoted by signature campaign (I've suggested this before), which could be paid in Blackbytes (to promote usage) from the community fund.

There's more than 300,000 GBYTE left to distribute, this giveaway would cost less than 0.01% of this.

Please share your thoughts on this!

That is it, the internet in all it's glory, dated as old as 1973. In this historic document, you can see the entire network in a piece of paper.

Back then most people would have said it would never scale, the idea of everyone on the planet connected to the internet was absurd. Similarly, assorted scammers and short sighted morons claim Bitcoin will never scale (as they sell you some shitcoin claiming that is the one that will scale in order to steal your hard earned BTC from you).

Just put things into perspective. This is a long term race. Bitcoin protocol is TCP/IP, secondary layers like LN are HTTPS. We will scale and and we will be all over the world. Beware of scammers claiming otherwise, specially when they sell you some altcoin.

SA won the toss and opt to bowl first, But they made wrong decssion Indian batsman are rocking today. skipper out but today Rohith is rocking. he just needs 11 runs to complete his century. Still 19 overs left so can we expect one more double ton from Rohith today. because when he will cross 100 runs margin he will go with only big hits. I think today India will make 350+ runs. now the score is 176/3.

I don't believe that number, but IF it's true removing those coins from the market until an auction could pump the price. It took 9 months before they started auctioning the Silk Road coins. They take along time to organize an auction.

The circulating coin supply must be much smaller than the mined coin supply.

Airdrops to deposit addresses end up in your account. I've seen it happen on Bittrex too (although later Bittrex started consolidating funds into their own address to make sure they get it instead of the customer).

The 2nd one match between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, after losing the first match Zimbabwe came back strongly in the second match scored 333/5 in 50 overs. Brendon Tylor with 125 runs and Raza also played aggressive knock for his 92 runs. Hope Zimbabwe win this match to level the series by 1-1.

While there are big similarities to other financial markets the cryptocurrency market still performs highly differently and many experienced traders will get burned. They're not prepared for the volatility of the market and they haven't had the experience that many long term bitcoiners have had. They've seen all the dips and falls many times over.

Bangladesh lost the 2nd test match by 215 runs against SL.It is a big lose for Bangladesh.A really poor batting performance from them.They have score 112 and 123 in two innings.OTOH, SL shown a good and calm performance with the bowl and bat.SL deserve the series because they played wonderfully through out the series.

BD can't take this as bad luck, they need to improve their techniques and work on their faults.I hope Bangladesh will come back on T20 with better results.

Cryptopia has been locking GBYTE for at least 2 months now.

Today I filed a 2nd ticket demanding that they release users' GBYTE.

I encourage you to do the same.

Stealing the time value of money is one thing, but if we get to the March distro and Cryptopia is still locking users' funds, it will be a massive financial crime. (Yes I know exchanges are scummy and steal from users all the time).

SL really come back strongly from bowling in this match. Bangladesh all-out for just 110 runs in first innings. Sri Lanka already started second innings batting and so far scored nine runs without losing any wickets. Sri Lanka now leading by 121 runs and still got all 10 wickets in this innings. As you said, Sri Lanka now in a good position to win this match if they can score another 200 runs in this innings.

From my Understanding, Textcoin came before Jumio, textcoin allows you to send coins via email to anyone, hence textcoin (you already know  having used it) - Jumio deal, from my understanding, is strictly for KYC verification, the idea is that ICO's would use the GBYTE network cuz its KYC compliant, and that verified Gbyte users would have access to less spammy/scammy ICOs.

so this whole Jumio verification is so that Gbyte users can have KYC compliant ICOs... (something along those lines)

if anyone wants to clear up any confusion...

"See my procedure for verification that has failed many times due to users not doing the right thing is very user friendly because if you're intelligent you would have got it right and we only want technical people but we also want everyday users". If verification is so user friendly then why haven't we gotten more than ~250 Jumio attestations and why are there so many complaining about failure here and on Reddit?
