Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[pwpwpw]

Anyone have information about merchant adoption of Byteball? Of Blackbytes?

there ain't none. it'll need to be on more than a handful of exchanges for starters. it'll come in time.

It's too bad. Otherwise, the project really seems to be coming along.

You can't expect merchants to accept a coin that has the majority of the supply in the creators hands, this is obvious, most exchanges don't list it because it's still only gonna be 50% distributed (on aug 7). Once it's fully distributed you can expect adoption and marketing to really begin, or maybe even before the last distribution. It will happen soon, in a few months, winter is coming... ^^

Quite right. I suppose I wasn't considering the big picture.

Edit: I suppose the same logic means Ripple (and maybe Stellar Lumens) will have a difficult time with respect to merchant adoption.

Well Ripple is basically banker money, it's exactly the same as fiat, it shouldn't even be considered crypto in my opinion, not only it is mostly in the hands of banks but the company Ripple Inc. has like 60-70% (not exactly sure, check it up) of the total supply. I have no idea how can people invest in it, the bankers should be enough to keep people away from it but the fact that the supply is not fixed (I think they can mint as much as they want but they promised 100Billion?) and the majority of the coins are in the company's hands...that's just crazy. Now you could say that tonych owns 50% of byteball (after aug7) too but the difference is that tonych is distributing it freely every month by a fixed rate and keeps 1% for himself, Ripple does not do that, they keep that 60-70% for themselves. In any case, in 3-4 months, this coin will be distributed fully, Ripply will remain the same shit scamcoin as it always was. One last thing I know about it, the original creator left it and made Stellar Lumens.

Hi dev, got a strange issue, when I start byeball client on windows i got this (I installed a new version of nwjs, but now i deleted it, still see this):



how do I resolve the issue? I am using the latest client (1.10).

It looks like a known bug that will be fixed in next version.
https://github.com/byteball/byteball/commit/94f7e3a43f60b0ccf0f59c52f435ce3e2fd50816

Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

Hello guys, What do I need to do if I have Gbytes on my Byteball address before Aug. 7 (distribution). Do I need to still chat with the transition bot or what?
Do I still need to do something to qualify for the airdrop distribution? Please help me,
Thanks.

You don't need to do anything for the GBYTEs distribution, but if you want to receive Blackbytes, you have to make sure all those GBYTEs are in one or more addresses linked by the transition bot. Just say "hi" to the transition bot, and it should show you your linked addresses.

Is the distribution automatic after the snapshot? Where can we see if the snapshot happened already? Can we track if our Byteball address holding GBYTES is already included for the distribution?
Will it send confirmation to us that the snapshot has been taken already?

Many questions

All the answers are available in you Byteball client chat window. There you can see registered / connected bitcoin addresses. There you can see the projected amount of Byteballs that you will receive.

After the distribution, the amount received will be shown in the history window of the client.

You need to have your BTC in one or more Bitcoin addresses linked with your Byteball wallet's transition bot by August 7, 2017 at 18:10 UTC. This means the BTC needs to have at least one confirmation at the linked address(es) before the first block after August 7, 2017 at 18:10 UTC.

After the snapshot, Tony typically waits a few hours to make sure there are no reorgs. Once the distribution of GBYTEs starts, it seems mostly, if not completely automate and occurs pretty quickly. The distribution of Blackbytes, on the other hand, takes and starts with the most funded addresses. Tony usually makes announcements both in this thread and on Slack of which block the snapshot will be and when distribution of GB and GBB completes. The Slack channel is:

http://slack.byteball.org/

And there's a "Get my invite" button available.

You will get GBYTE without linking, but you need to link in order to receive blackbytes.
Linking is easy: in the wallet, chat to the Transition Bot. It will tell you what to do. Just link any Bitcoin address, it can be empty, and you're good to receive blackbytes for the GBYTE you have.
Make sure all your GBYTE is on the linked address, and not on change addresses.

Okay thanks, all cleared now, so we will receive an announcement or notification when snapshot has been done already? Or we still need to wait for the Airdrop to be distributed before we can move the funds out of our wallet?

UPDATE :

978420 BTC llinked  which will bring approx. : 61,151 gb

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

So

 365,903+73,180+58,505= 500,234 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).

Thanks for those updates, s1lverbox. They are indeed much appreciated. Makes planning ahead in terms of Byteball distributions much easier and helps me sort of predict what's most likely still to come.

Thank you very much for the service, i almost about the forget about the linking again after bch if i wasnt seen your post.

[cryptocratic]

So, how hard it will be this time? Market is already heavily suppressed.

[kashish948]

can anyone please tell me this?

if i buy say 1 gb from bittrex today on a new account, will i get 0.2 gb added after the airdrop?


https://byteball.fr/BBdistribution.php

Here it says, "0.42222 new Bbyte for each 1 byte you already hold (on linked addresses only)."

so will i get 0.2gb per 1 gb i hold or 0.42222 gb per 1 gb?

[European Central Bank]

0.2 byteball 0.4whatever blackbytes.
