Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[GymForVitalik]

I think Byteball is great long / mid term buy in the current price range. IOTA hype will let it fly.

IOTA has some real application now?

I am very glad  byteball become a ICO plantfrom, the bank.one is the first ICO on the byteball plantform,i think tony the first task is made byteball to easy press token  in this way,byteball price will to da moon

Can anyone confirm that an ICO is happening on Byteball??
Would be great news and really showcase the potential it has a multi-purpose network

I am not sure if there is an ico on byteball , but it says IOTA and Byteball . but I assume theya re using byteball to do the ico lookoks like it

I found some project called Nemesis, and they say they will be using Byteball to create an intelligent bot, but I haven't studied to know if it's a viable project.

Thanks.

I'll keep an eye on it, but it doesnt look very professional so far iCO is supposed to start today??  WEbsite is just a screenshot

maybe dev could make an announcement on these ICO rumors

So my wallet keeps saying "syncing 27 private payments". I tried a transaction and it went through ao I'm wondering if that is just a bug...

I have a couple of questions, hope someone could answer me...

How many more airdrop stage are planned? Are distibution dates already known?

If i understand correctly on next airdrop i will receive a 10% bonus of Byteballs that i already own.... is this only valid for byteballs in locals wallet or also for byteball stored on exchanges like bittrex for example?

Thanks

The exact number of distributions is unknown. They will continue monthly on the dates of the full moon until either a) the bytes are all distributed, or b) the distribution mechanism changes.

Keep your bytes in your wallet to receive the distros and talk to the Transition Bot if you want to make sure you're getting blackbytes as well. Some people say Bittrex gives the bytes some say they don't. Better to keep them in your wallet.

Right now we can just buy

If YOU own your byteball, then you get the 10%.
If the exchange owns the byteball, then they get the 10%.  Some exchanges may give you that 10% or partial or none.

Just because the byteball you believe you own are in the exchange doesn't mean they belong to you.  Withdraw it to your own wallet that YOU control and that then means you own it and you get the bonus.

Remember btc pizza?

No we have first pizza order paid with Gbyte. Delivered in UK paid by user from Germany.
Just to clear things up, user @saintflow from slack is from germany and he paid for my pizza which was delivered in UK

I paid @saintflow with gbyte to get things done.

That is pretty cool. The community should organize itself until there are merchants accepting Byteball.

In 5 years I hope this mirrors the first pizza bought with bitcoin  

That is beyond wishful thinking.

You really don't see GB surpassing $1.5K in the next 5 years?

I think Byteball is great long / mid term buy in the current price range. IOTA hype will let it fly.

Surprisingly, the superior of the two is inferior price wise. The whole IOTA project is quite shady, although Byteball would surely *catch up* if it got added to an exchange such as Bitfinex.

Hasn't Bitfinex stopped acceepting US residents? Maybe the number of ByteBallers in the US is insignificant but I doubt it.

That aside, shouldn't the 10% reduction in GB received for linking BTC addresses in the upcoming airdrop be enough incentive for people to convert their BTC to GB?

[dreamhouse]

what is the latest version of byteball client? I have v1.10.0, is that the latest?

[taoist23]

what is the latest version of byteball client? I have v1.10.0, is that the latest?

Yes, it is the latest version related to github. Don't know, which OS you use, but it should be 1.10. for all OS.

That wouldn't mirror the 10k BTC for two pizzas.

It has, but that doesn't really matter.

Nothing is an incentive to convert BTC to any altcoin. That's like stabbing yourself in the foot. I'd rather want an direct fiat option to buy GB.

If YOU own your byteball, then you get the 10%.

The bytes or other tokens held in your exchange wallets do in fact belong to you, legally. You don't hold the private keys, but they still legally belong to you. It's exactly the same as fiat in your bank account.

Whether or not the exchange does the right thing with respect to the distros and gives you the additional tokens is another matter. It's definitely unethical for them to keep the distribution for themselves, but the legal side of it has yet to be nailed down.

You should keep your crypto in your own wallets, or put differently, make sure you have the private keys to your crypto as much as possible. But don't let anyone tell you you don't own the tokens you hold in an exchange. You most certainly do.

This statement has no actual basis in fact. Yes BTC came first. Yes it's the current market leader. Yes it's the closest to being considered an actual currency.

However we're dealing in technology here. It's highly likely that many "alts" will outperform BTC from this point forward. Many smart people intend to profit in this way.

Surprised byteball trading thus low, almost the same price after 1st airdrop dump. Did people lose confidence on this coin? I think it has pretty good tech behind it.

[elmeijera]

I Like Byteball very much. Joined this 6 month ago and still not sold a single byte 
Sell you byte and you wil get byte yourself 

[BTCWagering]

Surprised byteball trading thus low, almost the same price after 1st airdrop dump. Did people lose confidence on this coin? I think it has pretty good tech behind it.

The whales (mostly BTC whales, who tend to be BTC maximalists) control the price, and a few factors seem to have contributed to the massive drop:

• Back to back 20% distros
• Reaching the 2nd half of the distros where more than half the tokens are already in circulation, meaning the "interest" potential of held bytes is disappearing quickly
• A few technical problems / outages recently
• The BTC fork creating additional demand for BTC due to the "free" BCH and scaling potential supporting a higher BTC price
• The post-fork BTC pump creating the (likely) illusion that BTC price is unbounded

Believers in Byteball are using this lull as an opportunity to accumulate more bytes. In my opinion, this project has an extremely bright future, and the price has nothing to do with it.

can anyone offer some help?

a few weeks ago i got a new laptop which is now my main computer. I installed byteball last week and its been syncing since as a full node today its reached the 7/11/17 @8:33pm and has stopped with this in an error box:

 Uncaught exception: Error: Error: SQLITE_CORRUPT: database disk image is malformed ANALYZE

after spending over a week syncing this wallet I really don't want to start over, any input would be appreciated

Bittrex doesn't keep it for themselves. The Bytes stay on your deposit address, until someone withdraws and they need your Bytes.
That's how I got an airdrop last time in Bittrex: my deposit address still held Bytes. Even though I don't own the Bytes in that address (Bittrex does!), the address is linked to my account. So when the airdrop hit that address with 20%, I got the Bytes in my account.

[BTCWagering]

That's interesting but a really really bad idea for Bittrex to be letting that happen.

Lawsuits could be incoming, particularly if Byteball continues to succeed.

Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Also, until Bittrex provides an audit of their holdings, there's no way to know for sure that they're not retaining some of the distribution.

EDIT #2: It's also opening up a strategy like this: Deposit your bytes to Bittrex before the distro and immediately sell for BTC. Then withdraw the BTC and buy back your bytes, potentially receiving a double distribution on your base amount.
