Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[Karartma1]

Did the market realize there was an airdrop?
This is going to be interesting. Looking forward

[Michail1]

Why doesnt Byteball do one of its airdrops on Ethereum holders?  Airdrops are such a great way to build allies.. or maybe people think Byteball is too much of a competitor with its conditional payments and other features (and therefore too many ETH holders would just dump such an airdrop)?

Why doesn't ETH holders dump it and buy Byteball?
Byteball is moving away from dropping based on Coin (bitcoin or altcoin) holdings.  It's moved to benefit people that actually have Byteball.

Distribution of bytes is finished.
Total distributed: 57,444.473272169 GB.  It's about $19m at the current rate.
New available supply: 583,896.4940036 GB.  Coinmarketcap is already updated.

I'll update when blackbytes are distributed, it is going to take about 3 days.

Thanks again Tony for your hard work!

(I now have to use two hands to count my balls.)

Phrases like this always make people frown when I talk about (as they hear it) "bite balls"

To all Holders: tell people about Byteball: give them 100,000 bytes and 210000 blackbytes if they install the wallet (make a backup after sending blackbytes), chat with them, and spread the word. Byteball's potential is huge, all it needs now to grow is more users.

Received the correct amount of Bytes as per new rules. Do we have to backup the wallet every time after Black byte distribution as its not registered on the DAG and kept locally?

Yes. Think of Blackbytes as a post-it handed to you by the previous owner. The post-it says: "you are now the new owner". Together with handing you the post-it, the DAG registers that the previous owner is no longer the owner of these Blackbytes. The DAG does not register who received the post-it.
If you lose the post-it, you lose the blackbytes.

Byteball is moving away from dropping based on Coin (bitcoin or altcoin) holdings.  It's moved to benefit people that actually have Byteball.

And that is really a great step! I am holding Byteball since many months, good that this will be more rewarded than holding another coin.
It would be great if they change the distribution model to benefit the Long-Term Holder, maybe 10% for Coins holding longer than a month, that will decrease the dump every time.

[slapper]

If I am right, the percentage for gbyte holder is 10%. I hold 8 gbyte yesterday and right now I have 0.8 gbyte. Not a big amount but I will still holding. I believe in this cryptocurrency. Hope that after the airdrop, you guys will have more time to develop and the coin will have more space to grow stronger  s

On the contrary. YOu schuldn't hold ByteBall but spend it. It is a currency after all.
So what Tony is doing is just rigth. Give CAshback to people who are using it.
What we really need are much more merchants.

Thanks for the airdrop! Got my Bytes in BTC to Bytes distribution. Missed the previous round by only a few days.

[BitcoinArsenal]

Thanks, I received the full amount now. It seems the first distribution was the part for the linked Bitcoins and the second part - which I received today - are the 10% of my own Byteballs.

I just checked my received amount for the distribution round today and I have gotten only around 5% of the amount which was shown in the chatbot yesterday and today (check twice befor distribution). Is the distribution split to several payments this time?
I sent all the coins to the specific address shown in the chatbot so everything seems to be right. Does anyone else have the problem?

Yes, you need to backup your wallet not because of your Bytes but because of your BlackBytes. If your machine crashes you can recover your Bytes with your seed but your BlackBytes are gone. This was my understanding about how it works.

Received the correct amount of Bytes as per new rules. Do we have to backup the wallet every time after Black byte distribution as its not registered on the DAG and kept locally?

Generally, will the next distribution be the same as this time or are there any changes?

[tiaozhanziwo]

Byteball this time only to the previous one-half. And the price of the exchange has also declined.Did the release of the October issue be canceled?

[sardasa]

Anyone knows how do I disable trade notifications that are coming on my Android phone for the trades getting settled in freebe bot?

Can anyone please help me with this?

Did Bittrex renamed Byteball?

The name is now only Bytes. I could swaer it was Byteball luntil recently. The name Byteball isn't even mentioned anywhere.

Did something happend?

[sirazimuth]

2.5 seconds after the time I think the snapshot may have happened I moved my coins.  Will I still get the handout that I really think I totally deserve for doing nothing?

Why the hell do you guys have to move your coins around so much?  WTF?  You cannot just wait a few hours or even a whole frickin day or two to move your coins?  What on Earth is so damn important that you have to move them as soon as possible?

Completely agree with you.

As for the reason for moving.... Those people waiting on their welfare check (free handout) are moving them to an exchange to dump them so they can afford to pay rent, but not first without complaining about it.

Next?  People will ask simply for cash instead of bytes and demand instant payment.

'Byteball should simply give me my handouts in cash deposited directly to my bank account.'   Right?

Interesting... That's probably because of something we have been discussing months ago.

I think it's important for people to know that byte is the real name of the currency being traded right now, whereas Byteball is the name of the entire platform. As explained by @kaicrypzen in the speculation thread:

How many Bytes equal to one Byteball I'm so confused as to how to count this coin. And blackbytes? how do they work and are they the same currency as byteball? Thanks, guys!

There is no such thing as one Byteball ...
Byteball refers to the whole technologie/DAG/app/software. Byteball comes with two built-in assets/currencies, bytes and blackbytes. What you can find traded on exchanges is GBYTE which is GigaByte which is 1 000 000 000 byte.
Blackbyte is a private untraceable asset.

Thanks btw.

What is the Ticker for this coin? Especially on bittrex! Many cryptonote Ticker look the same! And is there merge mining for byteball

GBYTE on bittrex. There's no mining Learn more about this great project, you'll like it. OP and wiki are good sources of info about byteball!

EDIT: Sorry, I answered old question by mistake. Maybe some users will find this info helpful...

whether it was the  final airdrop? did i understand wrong?

[robstak]

It was not the final airdrop, there's more airdrops to come. Next airdrop will be on the full moon of November.

[jackfruit]

I have recieved my share from airdrop, but still no sign of blackbytes. I started receiveng them when thi price was as high as 0.3btc. However, the price kept falling after each airdrop. The coin price is dramatically low now. I think these airdrops will bring its end soon.

[BurtW]

The coin price is dramatically low now.

= buying opportunity.

[ChoobyMaverick]

Guys seriously!???.. 1Gbyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes = 320$
This means that Bytes which is actually the base unit is valued @ 1 Byte = 0.00000032$ ??!.. WTF, this is way undervalued and so much below the value of the shittiest shitcoin... Why's the dev so silent about this??... Getting this out would be the biggest game changer for Byteballs... Is everyone sleeping here??!!.. Do something 'bout it!
