The Sia team entered into discussions with Binance at least four months ago, that's when Taek(42), a developer and the creator of this thread, posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7pfyjc/brief_update_on_binance.

That comment is still there so either they are still discussing or Taek42 forgot to remove it.

Fees may not be the only deciding factor here, some people are prepared to pay these fees, why would they? one may ask. Maybe they are looking for something tangible as a first experience in buying Bitcoin and they don't necessarily exchange big money so in the end the fee is not that high. Moreover, people may be more familiar with ATMs (as they use them to get fiat) and they deliver immediately, no need to wait for your wire transfer, you walk in with fiat and walk out with Bitcoin and vice-versa. I don't know if ATMs need some kind of verification, yet if they do, it is probably a bit more private than when you use your bank account, scan your passport and make a selfie to be able to exchange ... Also, ATMs may be the only way in some countries to get Bitcoin. It all comes down to how much one values these things and how fast they need to do the exchange I think.
Maybe someone who already used (still uses) Bitcoin ATMs can share their experience?

Well Gbyte is listed on Bittrex and Upbit which are quite big volume exchanges and back in the early days Cryptox's volume was soaring after listing Gbyte. Speculators already speculated (just remember the ATL and ATH in BTC) and still have room to do so using the current exchanges. I don't know how Byteball can partner up with an exchange without having to pay a huge fee and I personally don't encourage that.

What do you mean by full information? You can start by reading the first post, all the info you need is there.

How did you come to that conclusion?


Had you read the first post, you would have seen that the ICO was canceled, investors refunded and bounties distributed. And that this coin is POS so no mining or swimming pools ... And all of this happened almost two years ago. You are welcome.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you are asking, but maybe I somehow understand, I hope the answer lies in what follows:
In the beginning, sMerit (the one that you send to others) was distributed to users depending on their rank and activity, there also are merit sources who receive sMerit regularly, and finally, for each 2 Merits that are added to your Merit (received from others) you get 1 sMerit (to send).
For now, you have 1 Merit, to become a Member you need 10, let's assume you get them (users give them to you by clicking on +Merit on your posts), you will also get 5 sMerits that you can send to other users.

There is no mobile wallet as far as I know. The only wallet is what you can qualify as a web wallet, it's https://www.decentgo.com.

Actually yes, when you restore from a full backup the app just uses the data from that full backup (including the fact that the wallet is full). What you chose when installing the app doesn't matter.

Yes the lite wallet is the equivalent of a Bitcoin "SPV" wallet.

Back in days when my full wallet took ages to sync on a computer with an HDD, I did a full backup and then restored from it on another computer with an SSD so that the syncing completes faster, which was the case, I then transfered the funds to a freshly installed lite wallet.

You can always keep your seed if you want to keep control over your previous Byteball addresses. You'll always be able to access them on any kind (lite or full) of wallet.

Just a technicality, forks and clones are not the same, forks are what are usually named "Bitcoin something". Clones are usually named "something Coin" .


Fund raising would probably not be a problem, the main concern is: Would there be anyone who is prepared to do it and have the necessary skills to do it properly? Some entity needs to be found and trusted, who's gonna find them and how would they gain the trust of those raising the funds? Having said that, is it really necessary? Tournaments have been held on Lichess before but apparently nobody is interested anymore (for various reasons), I'm not sure if a new Chess website would solve anything ...

In a previous post, btcapparel said they will ask the community to vote for either extending the ICO period or getting a refund. Here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2961359.msg36208190#msg36208190:

The only fork discussion I'm aware of was the one that happened back when Bitmain released their miner, the team's statement was "if the network is being attacked by Bitmain then we'll soft fork". Unless I missed something, all seems okay so far. I don't know what doorstop is, I only see mentions of it in Searing's posts and some yours that reply to them, what is it? Anyway, as long as nothing is mentioned in the official communication channels, I think not much importance should be given to unbacked info. For me, such info doesn't even qualify as a rumor.

I also read quotes, just not when there are more than ten of them in four almost consecutive posts.

I think there is no reason for the price to go up or down because of this. If they dump the price won't be affected. What's positive about this is that Byteball will gain a bit more visibility and some of it might be distributed through email attestation.

If it's not confidential, maybe you can start by posting what you want (to know) here in this thread and someone may be able to help you.

I agree that it's important to know what started the dialogue but when someone quotes 13 posts, something is definitely wrong. Especially when the last handful of messages are the same quotes over and over again. I'm not reading them and I assume that a lot of people are not reading them either (maybe I'm wrong). A common ground should be found between trying to make what started the dialogue visible and quoting everything without a second thought.

It wouldn't make sense if the team made a contentious hard fork. There needs to be a part of the community that doesn't agree with the team's decisions and that is prepared to maintain a hard fork of Siacoin. The team can't make listings happen, unless maybe they pay a huge amount of money but seriously these listing fees are just becoming absurd. Even if all of this happens at once, it probably won't make Siacoin break 5k sats in a day or two.
Unfortunately the team can't make your wish come true.

Please just quote the part that you are replying to. Over quoting just clogs up the thread and makes it difficult to read and follow, and nobody reads all the quoted posts anyway.

Nicebytes were airdropped on bytes' holders. A quick search using the forum's search engine would have landed you on their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3428403, you can get more info there.

Come on ... If you want to copy/paste a post, at least let it get a bit older, it's at the top of the page ffs. (And the answer is also at the top of the page.)

Not all BTCDs have been swapped for KMDs, but most of them have been. Some people/bots seem to be interested in trading an abandoned coin.


The word you are looking for is probably scam, but you know, people should be well-aware that they can no longer transfer BTCD so if they chose to continue trading it then be it ...
