Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[cryptohunter]

Is there any reason to keep bitcoins linked for byteball distribution?

I recently moved some stuff around and the transition bot seems to be offline. I couldn't find any plans for the next rounds of distribution yet though, so was wondering if I need to stay on top of this.

The next airdrop is planned in March with a very low ratio (0.1GB for 16 BTC), if BTC and GB price stay the same it won't worth the time spent for linking.
An empty linked address is enough to get your blackbytes.

So dev changed the rule to make an airdrop on every full moon.
This is not good, I bought many byteballs and see the prize falling every week.
To get the promised byteballs and blackbytes for this was a nice compensation for the big loss.
Now i seriously think about selling this coin, because i made my investment under wrong preconditions, a pity.

exactly how many are reacting im sure...

HOWEVER this is a far bigger issue that has a very quick fix.

I received this PM today from another new investor


Hi there,

I hope you don't mind me contacting you directly about what's probably a pretty stupid question:

You're obviously a huge proponent of Byteball and everything that's been written about it on the poll you created sounds incredible. But can you please tell me what the symbol is?
Because when I looked it up on Coinmarket Cap, it comes up as GBYTES which is roughly 253 USD at the moment.

But in your response to an IOTA post you said it's 70 times cheaper than IOTA?

I'm a bit confused, sorry!


CAN WE HURRY UP AND CHANGE THE UNITS ON THE EXCHANGE TO MEGABYTES ??.

How many new investors are getting sucked into other shit projects and avoiding byteball exactly because they see a 250 USD unit price and think WTF is this.

Just because we understand to look at total cap I would estimate 50% or greater of noobs do not realise this.

why did i post that in 20pt bold??? because it is the 20th time I have posted this common sense change and whilst you are running around chasing a few vegtable stores to accept bb  Those seeking main stream adoption already will lose every time to those seeking the eye of speculators right now. Price will gain you the most free advertings (well market cap). You are putting of so many new investors who look at unit price. Fuck it let's reduce it to BYTES

How long must we wait for a simple change that can grossly alter 50% of most noobs opinion of the potential of their investment in BB in a positive way??

Work smarter not harder. I mean if this simple change is not completely obvious by now this is worrying indeed.
This is the 50th time in a couple of weeks I see this exact presumption posted on the board and the 3rd PM I have had about it in under a week.

Agreed.  Speculators provide liquidity as well.  If I ran a business, why would I want to accept Byteball as payment when only a minor dump can drop the price so easily?

Because it works.

How many other coins are working today with this kind of tech?

There's a few.. and their market caps are way, way higher than $GBYTE.

[stockblock]

Price dropping a lot.

You could always start your own project and change your own rules just like every other ALT in existence.
Basically, you're crying because you thought you would get free money every month?  Sounds like a government program to me which is known as welfare.   Why work on your own wealth if you can just sit back and get free money all the time.  Even welfare stops.

Did someone 'promise' that you would get free money every month?

The free bytes stopped before the huge loss in value.

Sell your bytes.

[byteball3r]

Price dropping a lot.

Back at $266. Surprisingly rational action when you look at it in terms of USD (isn't even 50% off ATH counting airdrops). The value stability is actually encouraging. Of course it's disappointing compared to bitcoin right now, but it will have its time.

If I ran a business, I would never accept bytes or blackbytes as a payment, but I would issue my own private token on byteball and distribute it by giving loans to VIP customers and give different discounts to those who have my token.

Please sell all of them and move along to a more short term pump/dump ICO or shit coin.

Wow. We are going to be able to send bytes by email in the next release?

It was announced by Tony in Amsterdam.

[tonych]

Version 2.0 of Byteball wallet released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

[bones261]

^^^^^^

Wow, that is a great feature!

[CorePrime95]

So I can actually send Byteball payments through simple facebook chat now? Holy shit, that is a bomb!

[byteball3r]

I started an advertising campaign on reddit to the cryptocurrency related subreddits to raise awareness of byteball and grow the subreddit http://reddit.com/r/byteball inorganically. So far I've spent $250 for 140k impressions and 700 clicks. If you want to financially support the advertising campaign send bytes to VKKWJV3SSDH6C365N6QJSUH763QAKE6U. You can PM me for a link to how the ads look. Looks like 14 new subscribers yesterday and 16 so far today (1% daily growth), above average although it was spiking recently regardless. Thanks!

The new future is awesome.
I have a little problem. I am using a light wallet. And it keeps report:
Error: unexpected server response (502)
Should i change any setup to fix these?

[SockPuppetTheSecond]

God damn Tony, you maybe stubborn as hell and refuse to take any advice, but you sure do some good work.

Wish I could buy some more GBYTE right now at these low low prices but the BTC I sent to trex has been stuck unconfirmed for a day and a half now.

I don't know the answer but your best bet for assistance might be joining the slack channel and asking #helpdesk

Where do you get any info that we can sent byteball from the email in the next launch?
I think it is a good news if it true.

I got it from slack, but the developer just posted above on this thread that the new release has email Byteball transfers.
