Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[Searing]

Well my byteball wallet has taken like  3 weeks since the last drop to get to 7/10/17....it is now doing ONE day PER day

gonna be damn hard to catch the wallet up at that rate

suggestions....

it seems to work ok..I put in the latest wallet up grade... I have a buddy that also did this last drop and he also is in my boat

so...it is damn hard to spend byteball...if you can never get the wallet updated before the next drop

suggestions

I have an I7 laptop 8gb ram......windows 10......and it runs 24 hrs on this thing.. I have a 60mbps cable..with no background downloads etc

er confused

thanks

Your wallet still loading for 7 days already! Or i do something wrong?

[Friladon]

I just learned about Byteball and it's drop.

This 8 round will be my first and since I think it's a great way for an honest distribution I will be holding on to it!

Remember folks!
The 8th round is scheduled for the full moon of August (Aug 7, 2017 at 18:10 UTC)

ssd hdd and hispeed net? im betting you have a mechanical hdd and its queue for operation is maxed. use the light wallet or get an ssd

Probably there is something wrong with your wallet installation. Try uninstalling your previously installed byteball wallet, download and install the latest version.

You have no place in the crypto world without a fast SSD, you would never sync up the bitcoin chain in your life with a HDD. I'm syncing right now with 500GB Samsung SSD and it goes up to 35% load, which is huge for SSDs, when a normal HDD is shitting itself at 100% use, an SSD barely moves up to 5-10% so therefor 35% for an SSD would mean the power of 3-4 HDDs together (in terms of I/O, in terms of MB/s it's 4-5MB read, 8MB write). I just synced up and measured exactly 4days of DAG, it took 23 minutes, so roughly 5-6 minutes for a day of DAG now (while having 50 tabs open and some videos playing), the CPU was at 35% or less.  Hardware: I5 2500k, 16GB ram (does not matter if you have 16 or 4 for byteball, but you won't open 50tabs with 4GB), 500GB Samsung evo 850, 100Mbit connection (used about 2Mbit for byteball sync).

tonych, you should edit the main announcement to include this : "DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE FULL WALLET IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FAST SSD AND PATIENCE" because soon half of this thread will be people whining about sync time without even understanding how a hard disk works. I would put this warning on the top of the page with RED

You're exagerating a bit.
I synced BTC chain with an old HDD laptop in less than 1 week.
I run 2 full Byteball nodes on a HDD dedicated server and it's fine.
It looks like Searing got another problem.

are there any guide for witness installition, so that i can earn from the network, i tried to install but not transaction fees are coming my way.

Right now it took my PC 5-6 minutes for a day of DAG, HDD is at least 10x slower than SSD (and 100x less 1kb or less I/O) so if the DAG will continue to grow in this pace, it will take an hour for every day of DAG, that's 1day sync time for 24 days of DAG using an HDD, good luck syncing up a full node next year with an HDD If you must use HDD, make sure it is not your OS drive because that's when it gets seriously slow, HDDs cannot deal with many operations at once. Also laptops usually have only 1 drive, so if that's not an SSD then it's a nightmare to sync up any blockchain/dag.

Ofc once you synced up, it can easily handle being a full node.

I stay with HDD for my full nodes cause with more space available they make Byteball network more resistant to a spam attack.
I agree it will be hard to sync a new Byteball full node in future but there will be solutions. There is still some room for DB optimisation and we can imagine the witnesses attesting a DB backup available for download so you wouldn't have to check all the DAG to set up a new full node.

I still hold the bag for the byteball on the trading site, I think I am still worried about losing money in the wallet, I want to keep it in my wallet but worried about losing it because of my mistake not storing backups of my wallet

if you dont hold your byteball s at local Wallet you cant get %20 extra every month, i think you should install an ubuntu next to your windows and install wallet there and use Ubuntu only for byteball, thats how i use it.

My setup is ubuntu virtual machines that running in my windows. I find it more comfortable like that.

Look at multi-device wallet, a nice feature implemented natively in Byteball (you don't depend of a possibly bugged smart-contract like in ETH  )
You can create 1 of 2 required signature wallet so your bytes are still spendable even if you lose one device.
You can create 2 of 2 required signature wallet to increase security, an attacker would have to hack your both devices to steal your money.

Yes thats more comfortable actually, im currently thinkg of switching to that. Thank you

We can expect a large price increase after August 1. Then we can expect the infusion of bitcoins into the main alternative cryptocurrencies.

How do i check if i got my BByte last round,my GByte came through as expected.I've got BByte in previous rounds,just not for the last round in July

[European Central Bank]

so has anyone here actually used blackbytes for anything or than selling them yet?

[om9]

Soon 1 byteball = 1 btc

I doubt it

[Come-from-Beyond]

I doubt it

Will see after the 1st of August.
