Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[fob123]

Hi guys,

I have a question and sorry if this has already been answered.
It says on the website that

For every 16 BTC you receive 1 GB (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes),
For every 5 GB you receive additional 1 GB.

for the last round i already received the byteball from the linked BTC addresses, now does that mean this round i will also receive the same amount of byteball if i have the same amount of BTC linked? and also receive a further 1GB for every 5GB i have linked?

[European Central Bank]

Correct. Double check your change addresses un case you've transacted and lost the linking.

I see! Thank you for your answer!

Also, sorry for the newbie question, but should the chat with the bot start around half an hour before 18:10 UTC, so that you don't miss the snapshot?

You should link it as soon as possible, need not to wait near deadline time.
Even if you move btc balance from/to that address,
you still get rewarded based on whatever balance left in that address at the time of snapshot.

Yes I believe so. You would be rewarded again as long as the btc address you link still have the same amount in it.
Make sure it is still linked by checking it with the transition bot.

Hoping I'm not too late for this, still haven't download the wallet yet

Desktop wallets can be full nodes (will take a while syncing with the network after the first start) or light nodes.

I suspect light node means something similar to electrum for btc, am I correct?
If I want to go with light node wallet for windows, where can I download it?
do full node & light node walet has different binaries file?
on the first page only win64 version is available.

wallet sync is extremely slow, I sync'ed two days and it's barely from may to july, now half day at around july 10-12. Performance is a big issue.

yes, I've noticed this problem as well when loading up the wallet.

Would be nice if there was a light wallet for use ...

There is, when you installed byteball it asked if you want light or full wallet, you chose full wallet. If you want light wallet, install on a VM or another machine byteball again, choose light wallet this time, send your balance there, backup, uninstall your full wallet on first PC, then install again to light wallet and move lightwallet backup to first PC.

I made a backup of my byteball wallet by copying the byteball directory and its contents not by generating wallet backup(did not work with my client).

To import this old wallet do I just copy the contents into the new byteball directory?

The coin price is moving towards the right direction now :-)

Thanks, now that you mention it I remember when i installed the client.  Some how slipped my mind

Yes, replace the byteball directory with the backed up one.

price starts to go up in anticipating the next round distribution...

Everyone has got their Bitcoin Cash airdrop and now they are starting to think about the GBYTE airdrop that is coming in a few days.
Ok, it isn't quite as big a drop as the BCH one, but I personally like the extra GBYTE drops more, they are certainly less controversial!

I wonder how many people will forget to re-link after splitting their coins. At the moment mine aren't linked, I need to do that later so I don't forget.

I hope we reach 1 million BTC soon since people are going to relink their wallet.

That linked address will work all the time during the airdrop.

UPDATE :

917487 BTC llinked  which will bring approx. : 57,342 gb

and we have 365,903gb in circulation which will bring : 73,180 gb more after airdrop

So

 365,903+73,180+57,342= 496,425 Gb in total in circulation after give away.

That's 50% of all gbytes.

Yes i think in this rate we will have 3 more airdrops.

Distribution :   0.0625 Gb for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.2 new byte for each 1 byte you already hold.
                        131.94375 MBB for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.42222 new Bbyte for each 1 byte you already hold (on linked addresses only).

I think that a lot of Bitcoiner are waiting for a safe and simple solution to split their BTC/BCH (without to withdraw their BTC first) : then, BTC address don't change and they have not to re-link they BTC.

[Iris Linus]

Byteball is only a speculative asset right? Or can it be used anywhere, is there any real world use whatsoever? Thanks. Just figuring out what to do with this other than to sell after airdrops
Because it does seem like an amazing project...

It is safe and simple to register your new bitcoin address with byteball client. I did that yesterday while moving my btc from one Electrum wallet to another in order to prepare it for Bitcoin Cash.

It is all working flawlessly.

I have backup seed from android wallet.
How can I import it? Android wallet says - not implemented, desktop - seed is not valid

You need a full wallet to import seeds, so a desktop wallet.
