Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[LoyceV]

I always get this crap when I launch byteball, anyone has any ideas?


I had a newer version of NW.js but I removed it and I still see this.

I am using the latest version (1.10.1).

Make a backup and do this:

Linux users who upgrade from 1.10.0 will have to delete all files (but not subdirectories!) in ~/.config/byteball/Default in order to get rid of the annoying (but harmless) popup about profile format.  This is because we had to revert to an older version of nwjs to address one issue https://github.com/byteball/byteball/issues/201.  Backup before deleting.

Mac and Linux users please upgrade.

Any fundamental changed? the dev team seems ok, technology seems ok, I don't get why price is low, there must be something some people know and we dont.

My experience teached me to have faith in promising projects and just hold

Another reason that probaby hasn't helped the price is the bittrex withdraw limits mean you cant sink a ton of money into byteball and withdraw it off in time to get 20% bonus unless you give your identity to bittrex.  Bittrex was by far the biggest market for byteball up to now.

If I hold my Byteballs on Bittrex, will I get the Airdrop?

Bittrex is a bad exchange because they force their moronic 2FA on people that requires you to install 3rd party software or to have a smartphone. I am gradually moving my funds out of bittrex never to use it again.

No. Bittrex is keeping them.

Withdraw all your Byteball to your Wallet and link them if you wan't your free blackbytes.

There are a few more questions if you are not difficult.
1. In the first post it was written that the commissions are returned to circulation, and not burned.How does it work? One day I will have 1001 bytes instead of 1000? It's like Pos.
2.After the airdrop, the system becomes closed. No pow not pos, coins can be bought only on the exchange, does not this lead to the death of the coin?

They are really keeping them? Wow, that's almost theft I'd dare to say...

If bittrex is theft then I don't know what others are, considering that some even took BCC from their users. At least Bittrex gave users the BCCs.

I mean, it will be very good if bittrex does give us our blackbytes too, and while I support Byteball, Bittrex might not have the energy to work on blackbytes distribution for now. Bittrex is swamped with all the new coin requests.

how much USD can I get for 1 btc?

completely confused with these bytes

In this next airdrop, 1 BTC of proven balance will pay you 0.00625 GB.

Market price for 1 GB is currently $346.91:

$346.91 * 0.00625 = $2.17

So not a lot for 1 BTC anymore.

no make sense to make it

Bittrex also keeps the GAS from NEO, never received any when i held my NEO on there. I moved my GBYTE out for the upcoming distribution because i highly doubt you will be able to claim them off bittrex.

Many news today.

1. We have our first cashback merchants:
Premiumize: Premium downloads, cloud torrents, and VPN.  They also accept payments in Bytes.
NODEshare: masternode as a service.  They also accept payments in Bytes and offer merchant match for large orders.
Other partners are at various stages, I'll announce them when launched.
Cashbacks will come from this address https://explorer.byteball.org/#TU3Q44S6H2WXTGQO6BZAGWFKKJCF7Q3W

2. We'll skip the October full moon.  We need more time to allow more merchants to join the cashback program and I want a larger share of the remaining undistributed coins to be used for acquiring new users.  Larger partners have large teams and need more time to make decisions and integrate.  The next distribution (after September 6) will be on the full moon of November (Nov 4, 2017), and the rules are the same as for September: +10% for Byte holders, 0.00625 GB/BTC for Bitcoin holders.

3. My long time partner Steve Safronov has joined our team and will take care of business development.  He was CEO in one of my previous businesses and helped to grow it manyfold and then sell.  His current focus will be helping solid real-world non-crypto projects raise funds through ICOs on Byteball platform, there are a number of projects already being prepared since August (still early stages).  He will be our 4th team member with committed time, he will be paid from the Community Fund, and I fully trust him to bring new business into Byteball.

Great news! Thank you! Hope more ICOs, more merchants, more real-life usage for Byteball.

Accept payments only in Bytes? Not Blackbytes?

Wow, that's a great news, I'm glad that's byteball keep moving forward. VPN service for bytes is awesome!

As much as i dont like bittrex right now i dont consider it theft or anything like that if they dont payout the byteball extra 20% (or now its 10% right).  I think they should do customers a favour and payout the 20%/10% etc, they'd get more business and the market would pump more around the full moons.  Basically right now the excitement has been killed off in byteball. The devs should 1.) try and get it on another big exchange and 2.) probably consider slightly bigger payouts. 3.) work on blackbytes also

  I miss many airdrop. don't known can get byteball free by verify bitcoin before

[RaymondK12]

I just linked my GBYTE account so I can receive BlackBytes. My wallet isn't synced, but when I linked my account the bot told me my GBYTE balance was 0. I then sent a few bytes to my own address to see if this would solve this issue, and the bot told me that I have a new balance. However, now I cannot send any more bytes to myself as they are in a pending transaction... and it won't sync before the drop. So, basically, I will not be able to receive my full amount of blackbytes?

[shinjikun]

So. I just bougth premium from Premiumize.me an all went rapid and well.
Even claiming the cashback.

I love Byteball.

Awesome update on things to come. Like the new merchants. Agree with skipping the October airdrop. Let things settle a bit and decide best how to distribute the rest.

Keep up the good work!
