Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[Luigi21]

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

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, if you don't control the private key you don't control the funds.

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I don't think that will be withdrawn the coming hour, so Bittrex receives just over a $1M in bytes in the next airdrop.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.

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.

Off course it does. It is even the latest news on their website that you get cashback if you pay with it.

The price dropped from 0.08 BTC to 0.064 BTC but I got used to it as this always make a rebound and climb back to 0.08 BTC and sometimes pump up to 0.09 BTC to 0.1 BTC

Where is the buzz around airdrop this time? How much linked, how many minutes left?

58 days and 21 hours according to the site, if you are expecting the last round, it should have been sent but looking at the others comments, they haven't seen anything. I was too late for the air drop too.

[Evolvo]

Yeah my wallets were connected last week and I received nothing in this current airdrop...wtf is that all about?

Yep, I found it but would be nice if they placed Byteball logo at their home page right near Visa, BTC i.e. Conceivably, one of BB manager should point out them to this. Also I would add to byteball.org the  list of  merchants accepting BB

And finally, Steam!. BB officials should do their best to promote Gbyte as the payment for Steam's games.

Yes that's correct. The distribution of the coins after the snapshot always take a few hours for byteballs. For blackbytes it can take several days. So don't worry. Just chill out and wait.

This is truly excellent. Concerning ICOs on Byteball the first problem it should be taken care of is the issue of broadcasting names of user created assets. At the moment, the name of the user created asset is its hash, which makes any marketing impossible. But once assets will appear in wallets with their intended names, the Byteball platform will be ready for mass adoption for ICOs.

[shinjikun]

I am glad that the next airdrop will be skipted.

This is ridiculous. Everybody is awaiting a dump after the airdrop, so everybody dumps.

Maybe so we get some stady grow. ByteBall is totally undervalued.

[edmond_dantes]

I guess I missed this airdrop it is a very interesting coin though the lil picture that explains transaction is so confusing how can that work. damn thats some crazy stuff

WHAT?

You're just canceling the airdrop?  
I'm pissed off.

If you're a professional and you promise/schedule something, then do it... Nobody wants to deal with unreliable people.
Imo a bad move to break promises. The crypto technology (in general) is largely unproven, so mostly based on trust.
