Beware of change addresses in your BTC wallet AND in your byteball wallet for the next distribution round!

Byteball distribution companion helps you.

          Is you address properly linked?
          Is your linked BTC balance what you expected?
          Are all your bytes on your byteball linked address?
          How much will you receive?

+Bookmark. Once distribution has started you can follow in near real time when bytes arrive in your wallet. Enjoy!

This cannot be repeated long enough. Even though I perfectly new this, I've suddenly realised that my coins had moved within my wallet to an unlinked address. This typically happens when you send some bytes. The remaining bytes are considered "change" and get moved to another address inside your wallet, which is new and unlinked. In this case you'll have to re-link it again or to send your bytes back to your same old already linked address inside your wallet.

how many bitcoins are now tied? I think it should be much less than last time

Total linked bitcoins consistently increasing in every distribution round. Expect it will be more than the previous round. However, bitcoin to byte conversion will be drastically limited.

If during the airdrop you are having bytes in a smart wallet, ie locked in a smart contract for the purpose of buying Blackbytes, would these bytes also receive the airdrop bytes and the blackbytes airdrop?

Hmm but this is the first time that people are getting 10% of what they used to.  If there is more it will be only a a small amount more.  The market hasn't recovered this time either like previous times. There wont be many people rushing to dumping this time around either.  I should imagine 10% will create more hodlers.

Big news for BTC and ETH (China bans ICO, not clear details yet if they just ban local ICO or something bigger). I wonder how these news will affect byteball.

China banned Bitcoin iself many times and, as far as I know, nothing happened. But I could agree that maybe ICO banning could be different since most of the times ICO proponents are public, hence we could see less ICOs around China.
Anyway, this news should not negatively reflect on byteball even if Byteball can be seen as an ICO-friendly platform.

Let's think about September 6th, that's more important

One would think that people with a wallet that holds 53,880 BTC do not need free airdrops

According to this, Byteball could still be seen as a friendly platform for regulated assets:

- snip -

Regulated assets

Regulated institutions can issue assets that are compatible with KYC/AML requirements. Every transfer of such asset is to be cosigned by the issuer, and if there is anything that contradicts the regulations, the issuer won't cosign.

This way, banks can issue fiat-pegged assets and stay fully compliant.  They can open demand deposit accounts and track them on Byteball as assets.  These assets are easily exchangeable against bytes and other assets (with bank’s approval).

This is true for the android wallet. I had lots of problems myself with blackbytes on android app. But no problems with windows wallet for me.

Hello... I am rather new to this delightful coin.

Two questions...

To receive the 0.1 new byte for each 1 byte you already hold... does my wallet need to be linked?

I only hold .28 BTC doesn't seem worth sending the transaction to receive the blackbytes. Am i wrong?

Kind regards

Better link the BTC address otherwise you won't get the blackbytes you deserve for the bytes you own. You don't need to send a transaction, you can just sign a message.

Hello,

Just stumbled accross this thread after downloading the wallet.

why am i being asked to send 0.00653 btc to confirm my wallet address ??

That's $27 to confirm an address that I already know is mine..

The bot needs to know it's yours. 

However, as you note, that amount, which when byteball started was not that much, is now a much more significant amount of money.  You are MUCH better off just simply using your wallet to SIGN your address rather than sending the payment.

Good Luck!

Guys, what are your prediction for this Airdrop, since the reward is not very high for bitcoin holders but it's great for Byteball holders like me. Will the price of byteball incerase or decrease because of this airdrop? I'm thinking to sell some exchanging to bitcoin but don't know where is the best time, any?

and

so around 11% increase in distribution from this airdrop right? what are your price predictions 1 day before drop and 1 day after drop? is the pre-airdrop pump coming?

Asking the public? 
Public is normally wrong.
Flipping a coin might make a better prediction.   

The dump has already started and it's nowhere near from the real price of Byteball, neither in bitcoin (exchange rate) nor in fiat (I remember when the price was $700 or more), now the value of byteball is really low even though I've invested a lot (for me) and holding for this airdrop, but it doesn't mean that I will hold like bitcoin because I think to move to another one or get back to bitcoin.
