Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[bcmine]

Thanks for the changes we asked for.

There is really no need to distribute all bb that fast. At the moment there are too many out there, which have no or little value for the people out there. Now there is more time for keeping the dump running and then we will pump up.

[bcmine]

Just a few hours to the airdrop. My sensation is that this time the price drop will be minimal. I wouldn't be sursprised it it didn't drop at all. In this case, it would probably jump up.

Of course there will be a dump. We want more cheap BB.

bittrex is legally obligated to provide the distribution for the bytes held on its platform regardless of the option of withdrawal. This is like a stock broker taking the dividend of your stock from you.

No private key nor bought over platform, no rights of possesion. Quite easy to understand if they dont tell you different.

We need more exchanges for BB not less, i was thinking. Therefor you have tradeoffs. You are making the 10% over trading on bittrex or by holding them in a wallet. Its not different with pos currencies. We dont need to fight wind mills or the feeding hand.

interesting question. i think it's gonna go into hibernation for a while. there's some cool developments on the horizon but the excitement might tail off. there'll also be some hodlers who'll be dumping and there's alot to dump. price is going down.

A true hodler doesn't sell in a bear market.  Personally, I'll be hodling for a good 2-3 years until the next crypto bubble.

Byteball is one of the few cryptocurrencies with real intrinsic value, so I'll keep it until well after the end of the distribution.  I may be spending at the merchants when they announce some good ones, too.

This alt is gonna be rebranded Airball with scheduled infinite inflation via ever more difficult and awkward methodologies...
There needs to be more controversy and discussion surrounding every aspect of distribution...
It will separate the True Hodlers from the Fake Holdlers and, especially, from the Hipster Hodlers.

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.

Thanks for the info. I am using windows wallet, and deleted all files in ~\AppData\Local\byteball\User Data\Default dir, and now it works fine without the annoying popup.

Yesterday I want to add one more Bitcoin address to my byteball address, but my transition bot don't want to responce to me. Is it bug or bot don't work before airdrop?
P.s. previously I upgrade my wallet to the last update.

I heard the transition bot was down yesterday.

This address is used by Bittrex to send change to: QR542JXX7VJ5UJOZDKHTJCXAYWOATID2. It currently holds 32,882 GBYTE. It is linked in Transition Bot, so they'll get Blackbytes too.

I don't think that will be withdrawn the coming hour, so Bittrex receives just over a $1M in bytes in the next airdrop. That could even mean the price drop after the airdrop is caused by Bittrex itself selling their free bytes.
I really don't understand why a much bigger exchange like Poloniex doesn't add Byteball, they can earn millions from it.

Thank's. So I missed up some free bytes

Interesting. How do you know it is 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.

Finally good news for this cryptocurrency, I hope that the price will be affected positively

No, if you don't control the private key you don't control the funds.

Interesting. Perhaps the best way to get Byteball listed on other exchanges is to make them aware of this little detail. I guess every exchange would list Byteball if they new how much they could earn this way.

Premiumize does not reflect on its site that Gbyte is acceptable as the payment option while nodeshare does.
