Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[size_m]

i received the exspected amount of bytes in the last drop but i didn't get any blackbytes.
does anybody have the same problem?
what can i do to receive the amount of blackbytes which was exspected by the chat bot?

(sorry if this problem was already discussed in this thread.)

Quick announcement...

I started new exchange where we trading BTC/GByte, LTC/Gbyte and also we have dash and shortly ETH. We will start accepting Byteball assets and Erc20 tokens. I am open for comments and opinions. Also ideas which coins or which pairs we should have is always welcome

No GBB?

Gbb is private asset. Not sure if people want to trade that on exchange.

Yes they do. You too can buy and sell GBB on http://www.beeb-bot.com/

U talking about in wallet bot. I'm talking about exchange where you have public addresses. Gbb is private asset. There is no blockchain to track it. So therefore gbb is different than public assets/tokens or gbytes.

Anybody have similar problem?


What`s wrong with witness?

Thanks for reporting. This error is already known and a fix is underway!

I am also getting this issue.  Is there any estimate as to when this fix will be released?  This issue happened before I was able to backup after the most recent distribution so I am getting nervous - I really want to backup.

I have received my byteballs, thanks to the dev. But I don't receive blackbytes. Are they dropping in different days?

It takes few days to get them.

Yes same for me too..

Anyways, excited to be part of this after receiving my first airdrop! Only started learning about Byteball in the last couple of weeks

My phone tries to synchronize a black byte payment from distribution for about an hour already, and still says "Synching ... 16 private payments left". It is getting hot and I need to tap it all the time to prevent from sleeping. Not very practical I would say.

I guess if someone wants to do some serious discussion about some technical features of Byteball it is better to wait that all the smalltalk about Byteball free distribution makes a pause - whatever you are posting here these days gets immediately eclipsed by the tons of words of those who argue on their preferred distribution models...

I suggest a beautiful feminine figure to represent Byteball.
IOTA got Jesse Babbra‏ and I think that's their best move.





Tony is great but he isn't sexy.

Incidentally also my PC wallet is now stuck for hours trying to sync and showing the message "16 private payments left". I wonder if other people in this moment have the same problem with the same number of  private payment left (whatever they are, which I have no idea of).

Same here, also "Synching ... 16 private payments left", I have tried an older wallet first, but it's still exists with the newest version.

My desktop synched fine, but phone and tablet got stuck on same multi-sig wallet.

Hi! I'm a bit unfamiliar with consensus algorithms. You said you have a new consensus algorithm so what about DAG? But i'm interested on that untraceable payment feature of yours. It will help anyone that does not want to compromise their privacy.

@coiner.

Fair enough answers i think.

Different views/perspectives that is all.

I don't know why anyone would not like fair launch POW.

IMO it makes the bar of entry that much higher. Needing to download the entire blockchain (which may be several gigs), having an (almost) always on internet connection, a truly top of the line system/mining farm setup and worrying about how much kwh you're using effectively disqualifies POW for me as a means to get any crypto for the foreseeable future.

I agree with ByteFan here. Monero, Zcash, Zencash etc. all lay claim to the "best privacy crypto" title but unlike GBB they're all tradeable outside the confines of a wallet bot, on Bittrex no less. I'm not that knowledgeable on how it works so I have to ask: what is it, specifically, that makes having Monero on trex still private but not GBB?

Reading through answers like these and threads like this makes it appear like GBB isn't all that private and/or won't ever stop being a really niche privacy crypto.

i have also received my fair share of airdroped tokens. the price is a little scary right now but when people will see the power of this coin...

Distribution of Bytes is now finished.
61,299.720840161 GB distributed
645,222.052937914 GB is available supply after the distribution.

Distribution of blackbytes will start in a few hours and will take a few days, be patient.  I'll post here when it is complete.

I'll decide and announce the plans for future distribution around mid-November.  But it is already certain that we skip the December full moon.  The purpose of the free distribution is in acquiring new users, and we should use the remaining undistributed coins most efficiently.  That's why we are slowing down the distribution and gradually phasing out the method based on balances, which is not expected to produce much positive impact any more.  Cashback has already proved more efficient in terms of cost of user acquisition, albeit it is still slow.  Other product updates linked to the distribution are still in the making but not certain enough to speak about them now, I expect more certainty in the middle of November.

I can understand that you want to remove the airdrop because it does not acquire new users anymore. However I think you should be careful not to lose existing users because of this. I think the majority of Byteball users are "people who have the wallet installed but are not using it often", as the Byteball economy is still in infant stage.

BUT these users are coming back on a regular basis because of the airdrops. They read this thread, the slack, the website, update their clients and such. The airdrops have been a big event that brings the Byteball community together at regular intervalls. Thats why the TitanCoin preICO was started at the airdrop date, because most people would notice it. It would be a waste to lose the conditioning of the Byteball userbase and the full moon meme that was so costly acquired.

So I urge you not to skip december airdrop or atleast have a replacement event. We already saw interest fainting when the last airdrop was skipped. There are lots of bling bling coins and christmas time coming up. For the average user its super easy to totally forget about your Byteball installation during two months if nothing is happening.

Yes, that's a known problem. Devices with very low write / read perforance (i.e. mobiles) have problems synchronizing Blackbytes. tip: energy saving mode to maximum,
stroke from time to time (to prevend the energy saving mode), patience

I know about the "removing stable witnessed unit" error, working on it.

when the next?

[amacar1]

Syncing... 36 private payments left. PC is with i7, so power is not a cause. This is getting worse everyday, not only price of the coin.
