Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[SaintFlow]

In wallet exchange for Blackbytes ... not one but 3. Enough said.
But yes not on an exchange so technically you are correct.

[howarddcarter]

Still no race is there in which ByteBall faced defeat.

[Technicrate]

I cannot understand why are blackbytes so cheap. ZEC, XMR are flying.
At the end of airdrops their price must skyrocket (at least i'm betting on it)

Yep. It doesn't have to be at the end of the airdrops, it could be much earlier (as soon as people see a use case - either merchant payments or some other form of payment). Keep accumulating if you can afford to.

I agree with that. The actual usage of the Byteball in the society will give the price boost.

Lol, can he tell us what byteball price will be in 1 and 5 years from now? Seriously though, the restaurant and fertility guy are nice pickups. Maybe can get some online stores that sell crypto swag to join in too.

what about decentralised exchanges? would it be possible then?

[Karartma1]

Those italians at Osteria Trullo really believe in Byteball. They even created and printed a flyer to foster curiosity into their customers. I wonder what those who don't know shit about bitcoin/byteball and crypto in general would think of this. It would be nice to have some first hand knowledge from those guys. Good luck to them! Nice move

we should increase rewards for BTC holders to diffuse adoption and generate interest

Blackbytes are not on any exchange and might never be.
That's due to their nature. They can't appear on any explorer or anything, like regular cryptos so you can't know what addresses hold them.
If they are not easy to trade, I wouldn't expect them to rise in value.

They are actually quite easy to trade, if someone is interested. There is an excellent bot who uses smart contracts to do the trades. Here you can see the recent trades:

The only point is that blackbites cannot be traded in usual exchanges. So they should be bought just if you want to own them for future use, not if you want to gamble them.

The byteball price is really good now, congratulations.

this coin is also a early airdrop coin.

Ugghh, would not really advertise this, psychics are true scum, scamming people face to face for a living..

Because byteball is really good for such business. Confirmations are extra fast with no pain about block time or insufficient fee.

[afbitcoins]

I've heard you can link wallets on different devices, where would I find more information about that?

[solarrobot]

Bytcoin is an exciting project to me, minus some of the distribution concerns, but i'm a crytpo nerd, i eat this stuff for breakfast.

 Can anyone explain to me why someone who doesn't use cryptocurrencies would start using byteball over the far more established projects out there?  The chat format is nice, but a chat program isn't really a draw without the network effect already in place. Who wants to convince their friends to use a new chat program.

Maybe bytecoin should team up with signal, an encrypted chat project which is open source. A kind of partnership with an established network if there could be a way to fuse the two could be a game changer.

? Byteball is the only DAG crypto aimed solely at payments.  It's in it's own lane and doesn't have to compete with anyone.  It just needs better marketing as most people do not even know it exists.

Byteball doesn't need to partner with any chat project imo.  You can already send encrypted messages with your payments I think.  With a few tweaks, Byteball will have it's own capabilities in the future for messaging.  I'm sure Tony already has this in the works.

The only things  hindering Byteball as of now is the dumping from the whales due to initial distribution, and the lack of marketing.  These problems will be fixed or dampered as we move towards the end of the airdrop.

I mean being a DAG crypto is interesting, and has it's efficiencies but a closed system currency needs the network effect to be useful at all.  What is going to bring the network effect to Byteball? So far it's been the airdrop + the tech is new.   I buy real things with bitcoin, i pay real people real money with ethereum. Those are useful to others though for a variety of reasons that byteball is lacking.  Not any different than any other minor alt coin... but if it's going to beat the rest, it is going to need more than just a different network structure.  The bots are cool, seems like that is a place for major growth. I was just suggesting that to partner with a system outside of crypto that shares open source attitudes that would bring utility to both could be really cool, and really expand what is possible.  No reason to reinvent the wheel for every feature.

One month passes after remittance to Wallet.

I seem to be saving money, but the synchronization does not end.

What is going on with this Wallet?

I am in trouble because I do not know the solution.

That should fix your problem.

Wouldn't it be an idea to have an option in the wallet that upon a payment out, the 'change address' is the original Byteball address that is used for linking in the airdrops? That would avoid people missing airdrops without their knowledge and would make it easier for people to use Byteball more for small transactions, without running into trouble with future airdrops.

Coins like DeepOnion offer this functionality in the wallet software.

This feature was merged in our github a day ago and will be available in the next release.  It will enable what you say, and a few other interesting things.

oh oooh, sounds good !

Could you say more about the few other interesting things ?

You'll know when we release.

Tonych is there a possibility to include an option in the wallet for people to donate say 0.5-1% from their airdrop to the community fund so more Devs can be hired to develop different useful projects for Byteball as psychologically if the option is included in the wallet and selected by default i guess the majority of the airdrop receivers wouldn't mind donating 0.5 to 1% from their airdrop to the community fund to help Byteball grow healthy

[gates]

I respect Tonych as a great developer but what about marketing and business development? I don't believe this cashback strategy will lead byteball to the great future.
I guess only bots and protocol improvements as a core byteball features could bring ICOs and big investors.

What are your thoughts guys?
