Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[wry]

Yeah, figured I need a break and spend my time, if only a little, more wisely.  Not getting my own things done, so I need to take a break.  Of course, here I am still answering others - heh  (Mostly via direct messages though).   My fav messages are from those people that are mad at me about the price drop, and I get to respond that I am not a part of byteball (dev or member or employee) and freely get to tell them to screw off as if I control the price.

I want to say thank you as well for all your work and help in this thread.  You were a consistent voice of reason and assistance.  I hope you can return soon.  Good luck with the other RL projects!

Sorry to jump in but haven’t been following this thread for awhile. I’ve bought some coins in order to join airdrops couple of months ago. Price has been plummet since then. What happened? Did I miss something here? Something possibly big?

The developers prefer to deal with gimmicks instead of generating real demand for this coin.

Syncing is stuck at 9/17/17. Version 1.10.1 Windows 7 x64. Maybe someone has easy solution?
Upd. It's not stuck it's very slow. I wait 10 minutes and it synced from 9/17/17 8:37 PM to PM 9/17/17 8:45 PM

No you missed nothing. The technology is fine. No bugs.Also inside the community no scandals or drama.
It's still the distribution phase and probably some big whales keeping the price low and accumulate for another crazy pump far in the future (several months from now I would guess).
So it's all about having strong hands and patience. The price will very likely move up and pump in the future. But it' won't be tomorrow or next week.

That sucks.  You could always make it worse by selling now and the price then jumps.  A lot of people did that with (insert your favorite alt coin here).

It still hurts seeing the price drop, but I see no reason to sell now. It already lost most of it's value, I took most of the pain, and the remaining possible value it can loss is much less than what it can potentially gain. So I'm holding my bytes.
Most altcoins have dropped very hard in price during their existence, and most of them went up much more than they dropped again. Lately, almost all altcoins dropped a lot, and Byteball is no exception.
It was to be expected anyway, after many altcoins went up thousands of percents in just months. Byteball did the same.

The same happened to my other airdropped altcoin, Stellar Lumens. I'm still holding those too. I could end up a bag holder on both, as some altcoins literally disappear, but I trust both Lumens and Bytes enough to believe in the projects.

I always consider price drops part of the game where whoever drops the price wants to get my coins cheaper. Since I realized that, I stopped panic selling. I only sell small amounts when it's up high enough. That allows me to take some profit, without risking ending up feeling like the people who sold all their Bitcoins when it hit $0.50.

Not so long people here in chat were predicting 1 GBYTE to be worth 16 Bitcoin at some point. What happened to that confidence?

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

So you sold 90%? That's not what "holding" means.

I keep getting an error message. I download the latest version, but after a week or two same problem keeps recurring.

easy to get it fixed:

right click on the message
click "inspect"
choose the html element
right click and click "delete element"
after that everything works fine. you can restart without any problem now.

A good product would be if I could exchange Bytes and Blackbytes(!) directly with €uro, USD... within the Byteball app.

A good product would be it if I and numerous other merchants on Open Bazaar could exchange my goods for Blackbytes.

It would simply be a good product if you could really use this product beyond gambling.

How complex can byteball contracts be?

Im wanting to do something like
- have 4 people pay x to address y
- 2 people win so release from address y z amounts of funds each.

Can byteball contracts do this from 1 address or would i need to do multiple addresses in pairs of 2 to release?

Im thinking more team sports where team a plays b. Each pays but release to winning team individually from contract address. so its all on chain not site controlled to prevent thefts etc.

nice plagerism to bump your signature campaign count. ive reported it to moderators. im sure you have lots more.
for others see

this was my exact word for word question with the final comment can tonych comment please.

i wish sig campaigns were banned people like you just generate spam without any real contribution.

If those are your wishes, Blackbytes are not for you. Fiat-conversions undo any privacy you have with Blackbytes.
You can't seriously expect the Byteball wallet to have an exchange ready with all banks on earth.

Have you contacted Open Bazaar for this? They're the ones who can implement this.

Nice catch, he'll lose the bounty for the sig campaign, fuck these people. Hope you reported him to the sig campaign of the ICO or coin he's advertising for and not to the forum mods.

1. Take a look at BISQ.
What this program can do could also be Byteball. Compared to BISQ, the Byteball App would only need to concentrate on Bytes and Blackbytes.

2. The Open Bazaar developers seek to work with the developers of other coins to integrate their currency.
Monero, ZCash and DASH are already cooperating. They see the potential of a cooperation.
Where's Byteball with his Bytes and Blackbytes? The integration of the latter in particular is likely to be very exciting. It's not impossible.

mods banned him

thats a better outcome.

Cheers, btw you say sig campaign managers don't even care to check these people, listen... a few weeks ago I asked a guy who does manage sig campaigns for icos and other coins and when he told me his rate I was shocked, 1.2btc / week for managing 50 users... btc was 4k. I don't know what jobs earn almost 20k$ / mo for practically clerical work, checking forum posts, keeping an excel sheet of min post requirements and shit.. and I know this guy is managing a lot of campaigns, this is just another proof how ICOs really throw money at advertising because that's basically all they have to do, get the btc/eth, then they can walk away or claim "we have been hacked sry" (LUL)..

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

So you sold 90%? That's not what "holding" means.

I suppose he meant 8 plus 0.8

[Denker]

All hodlers until should earn a ball of steel sticker.

Yeah definitely not easy weeks and days.
Another 4% down today.
Selling right now makes no sense if you hold just a few byteballs.
Just hold it, take the free coins you'll get the next months and forget about it for some while.

A quick reminder:

Luckybytes the Byteball Lottery just opend a few days ago!

Its an in-app lottery in which you can play using your Byteball Bytes. There are three different game modes to participate in. Win large amounts of Bytes depending on the number of players on the «winner takes all» principle. All games are provably fair. Each lottery comes with a game and proof hash whichs lets a player validate and prove the results against manipulation.

We already played 114 Games with a total Payout of 6 GB.

At the moment the following Games are played:


luckybaud  - Price: 40 MB   Slots: 3/4
luckybyte  - Price: 80 MB   Slots: 3/8
luckyint    - Price: 320 MB   Slots: 21/32

I was thinking the same although he said 'yesterday' and 'now' so he might have sold 7.2.  Then he said he would still hold.   Uhhg.

Upd. It's not stuck it's very slow. I wait 10 minutes and it synced from 9/17/17 8:37 PM to PM 9/17/17 8:45 PM

Just wondering... Did you have a specific reason to run a full node?  Seems people have a problem and it can't be quickly resolved cause of syncing issues.  I still suggest going to a lite client.
Syncing seems to be slow for some people.  Have you tried closing the app and restarting?  Also, I found a problem people were having in that when they closed the app, the byteball.exe file is still running in the background taking a full core for sometimes many minutes after closing.  They restart prior to it closing, and it launches another process.  So, in closing and restart several times, you might have many processes running in the background slowing things down.   They eventually close  though.

I want that sticker.

Thanks.   Just a break from slack.   I didn't quit.  
I've taken breaks from IRC as well.
I mostly just respond to questions in private messages although it seems I post a lot in threads too.

I keep getting an error message. I download the latest version, but after a week or two same problem keeps recurring.

I have seen this issue many times.  Mainly two causes (that I know of).

One is that you could be using the wallet on two different devices.  Did you move from one computer/device to another?

Two did you restore a backup that was prior to having received blackbytes or transactions where as the restored copy doesn't know of a transaction you made after the backup was made?

Sounds strange, but you can keep reopening the wallet and the error may go away / bypass.   Once synced, you may have an issue with private payments syncing.

In worse case, you can do a restore from seed and recover the normal bytes.  As for blackbytes, you can't do those with the seed method.  Also, since you are running a full node, it makes it a little more difficult because it must be allowed to sync up.

It appears that you have 10GBB, so you may only care for the estimated 5GB that you may have.  Can't tell because of the popup.  Your time may best be suited simply recovering the regular bytes and losing the blackbytes, but again, I can't see cause of the popup.

You're welcome to send me the wallet and I will recover most, if not all, of your funds.  Also, I would recommend you (or me) convert to a lite wallet unless you have a specific reason for running a full node.

I have 25gb in my wallet now and i am using the same wallet in two different computerst which might be causing the problem. I don´t get problem with one of the computers but other one is not working.
