Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[s1lverbox]

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.

ssd hardrive?

I have similar issue. Stuck syncing three probate payments, before and after updating to latest client...

The owner of Osteria Il Trullo restaurant in Milan is doing great job expanding our cashback program.  He has recruited 12 new merchants in Milan in the area around his restaurant.



To get the cashback, you keep your fiscal receipt, walk to one of the two Distribution Points, and receive cashback in Bytes according to the amount on the receipt.

my wallet is synced and doesn't have problems (mac os), glad to see more brick and mortar stores joining the cash back program. maybe next summer i'll drop a visit in milano. how is the titan ICO going? if gbyte starts to become a ico platform and more companies use its blockchain and smart contract protocols, this might get biig

Tech works perfect.
For the fact, that there is no advertising it is running well, I would say.
Judging by the attractiv offer it is lazy. It reminds me a lot of the start time of Byteball Distribution (No media, no ads, no Investors).
The times are unfortunately so that you can have the best product, but without media echo you die poor.
But I think that will be recognized soon - marketing can be set up quickly. Therefore, there is so much scam.

No SSD here, regular old spinny disk in laptop running win 10. Is there any advice for this? Restore from backup or something?

It's an issue with the wallet.
2 ways to solve this.

1)  Send me your wallet and I will send it back repaired.
2) Create a new wallet on another device, send all your funds to it, then move the new wallet to your primary machine.

Same answer.

i am using the latest OSX wallet and have the same problem. stuck at 33 private payments.

Same answer.

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.

Same answer.

[Michail1]

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.)

I am not going to answer this for you since it is the same question that happens after each and every distribution.
Read what Tony said in his last post.

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

Same answer.

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  

Same answer.

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.

To make a backup, simply backup the data directory where your wallet is at.  Copy the full directory to a usb drive.

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.

Love that idea.   People love looking at women.  Quite rare to order coffee from a male 'barista'

Thanks for the answer Michail, I will give it a shot soon, but that doesn't really address what the actual problem is. Is it corrupt db? Is this something that used to happen with conditional payments but now has been corrected?

Nope these are not a solutions, just an ugly patch. What if these happens to 1000s of people, will you fix all these wallets? Then better write instructions how to do this.

Basically Tonych need to fix this ASAP on client. This is not a beta stage anymore. Wallet that can corrupt anytime, sound totally amateur.

I didn't say it was a solution to the problem or what causes it.  I said it was a way to solve the issue for you.
Your absolutely right.... the wallet can corrupt itself... Oh yeah, just like every other damn crypto wallet.  Need proof?  I can send you a bitcoin wallet that is corrupted with 25 bitcoins in it.

So, you can either solve the issue for yourself and be done with it, or not.  Tony isn't going to spend time on your wallet or try to fix every possible reason that could cause the issue which even includes restoring a full backup from prior to spending or receiving blackbytes.

Many other reasons for the problem.  So, hard to know which particular one is yours.

It doesn't because there are several reasons the issue could be caused.   Just posted one.  Anyone can duplicate the problem simply sending blackbytes from a corrupted wallet.  Or, sending to someone that is paired, but they move to another hub.

You can simply delete the payment from the DB and then request the private payment be resent.  This happens all the time at distributions.  Mainly because people think that since they didn't get their free money, they start jumping to different hubs without communication with the transition bot, so payments are temporarily lost.

This is really good ! Maybe it's time for Byteball project to hire a press officer, and have this world premiere covered by mainstream press.

[Gogo ppp]

What is the difference between blackbytes and byteballs?

Is 1 GB of Byteball = 1 coin of Byteball?

It would be really helpful if there was an ELI 5 somewhere with simple answers to questions like this about the basics.

Perhaps there is but I missed it.

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.

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.

Can I maybe get some sort of answer to this or at least a link to something I can read explaining it? This is the third time I'll be asking this with no answer.

What is the difference between blackbytes and byteballs?

The former is an anonymous, privacy crypto and the latter is not.

Is 1 GB of Byteball = 1 coin of Byteball?

ByteBall is the platform and GBYTE (GB) is the currency. 1 GB is, AFAIK, the standard unit like 1BTC and can be divided into fractions.

It would be really helpful if there was an ELI 5 somewhere with simple answers to questions like this about the basics.

Perhaps there is but I missed it.

I think the OP and website might be helpful.

[statdude]

I also agree the "ceased" distribution is concerning. So much uncertainly. Uncertainty = low price... read any stock book.

I could understand giving a clear plan now. To leave so much up in the air is unwise and spooks large holders.

My whole problem with ICO type coins (like this, suddently) is that the dev controls too much supply.

Price dump right ahead of this news = Insider trading? Not accusing dev of anything, but it is suspicious...

Oh well, it will all work out if dev keeps at the genius ideas buried here...
