Dont' try to make fools of us. You generous give away is worth 0,30 USD.

I think you just made a fool of yourself.  Your poor lack of future insight was the same problem people had 7 years ago.
I used to give 1 and 5 bitcoin paper wallets all the time.  Literally, I gave away hundreds of bitcoin. 

Like you today, those fools (many of them) simply threw them away.  A piece of paper with 1BTC back then was only worth about $4 and not worth the hassle to figuring it out.  You know how many of those fools have come back later to ask if I had a backup of the paper since they can't find it?  They are pissed they threw away $15,000.00      Even my old UPS driver contact me only 2 days ago to find out how to get to the 5 BTC and he had a picture on his phone of the wallet - although he took a picture of the public address and not the private side.  So, 5 BTC lost forever.  ($75000 gone from my $50 Christmas present to him)

If you don't want the $0.30 give away, then give it to someone else.  It could go to zero and you lose 0.30 or it could go to......

Be careful, someone will write a bot scraper that will immediately claim any textcoin publicly posted.

Wallet v2 is nicccceee!

I want to see this new byteball wallet on my notebook. Too bad it's being serviced in warranty right now. About how much time is needed to sync from scratch nowadays(to SSD)? Also, I have a full backup from october, I assume this can accelerate things.

Hi Tony!
...

Good points, I agree with all of them.

me2

I also agree with these points. There are so many factors which are necessary for the success of a coin, and even though en excellent tech and a large adoption base (see Metcalfe's law) surely are main factors, there are many others as the crypto echosystem is becoming more and more complex. Marketing is so important nowadays. And Synergy between all the necessary competences is necessary. More HQ level people have to join the team and my feeling is that part of the still to be distributed Bytes should be destined to them and to all the people who will help.

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

It allows to send Bytes by email or via chat apps.  Even if the recipient is not in Byteball yet.

It's the biggest update since the invention of cryptocurrency wallet, more details at https://medium.com/byteball/sending-cryptocurrency-to-email-5c9bce22b8a9

This is totally amazing!
I guess most of the people didn't really grasp its implications, otherwise the price would already be 10X.

I am SURE there are people I gave bitcoins that which are lost and they don't want to tell me.

My cousin sold his 2 months ago, because the amount trippled.  Had he sold it today, it would have been a 10 times increase.  At least he didn't lose it.

I gave another family friend 3 BTC (It was $1000) worth.  He put it on blockchain.info but can't remember the password.  He's actually had people try crackers on it.  So, not lost, just simply stuck there until a password can be figured out.  This many years later, and I doubt he will ever see it.

Use a light wallet.  Takes like 15 seconds.

Be careful, someone will write a bot scraper that will immediately claim any textcoin publicly posted. 

Ahh, but let them.  I don't care who gets it.  And, people in the thread are more likely to get it than a scraper finder it.  Plus, a scraper might be so fast to find it that it gets an error since the code isn't immediately redeemable since the transaction has to be confirmed before it can be redeemed.  So, the code is not available for about 5 mins after I post it.

I confess I am also hunting a link. Not for the money, but just to see it work.

Penny grabbing is a new sport of this community?

But for blackbytes I would need to load the full chain. Or am I wrong?

[cryptohunter]

Agree with the unit change to MB. I think the leading zeros argument by Tony just doesn't hold (and if we go by that argument,  0.001GB or 0.0001GB give aways for cashbacks, via emails are just as confusing!). If we want real world adoption and easy to understand units (along with attracting some of the newer crypto adopters), we should switch to MB (and perhaps to KB at a later time). People who trade are careful enough to calculate the amounts before they trade, and aren't concerned about the leading zeros. And there are good examples - IOTA, Ripple, that have leading zeros and are still doing well.

Since majority of the community sees this as a much needed move, lets switch to MBs, or better yet, put this up for vote via the poll bot!

There was a discussion about this yesterday in #announcements channel on slack, for anyone interested.

Tony's argument for many things is weird. Like its a good idea to give most of the minting to competing projects for btc they don;t even own. Luckily Tony is a genius designer and coder so we can forgive these (by comparison) minor errors.

Come on let's get it into megabytes right away. I can't take more PM's telling me I must be insane telling them that 250 bucks is less than 5 bucks and they can and do check things out for themselves before jumping in.

Of course if it means all the noob investment goes to the cheaper 11BN projects because their exchange unit value is cheaper then that's fine.

Tony should listen to the community sometimes it would serve this project and him well.

Like any serious investor does not look at the btc value when conducting orders on an exchange, and extra zero is not going to go unnoticed.

Let's put it to the vote the fact BYTES is the ticker does not even have to change

Penny?  I've been giving away $.33 to $2.00 all around the place.  Just like I did many years ago with bitcoin.
These pennies could be worth hundreds later.  Yup, just a penny grab for now. 

In that video, I'm the black chick on the right.

...

Wrong.  Lite clients can use bytes and black bytes the same as full nodes.

why the spike in the price lately?? there was some development goal achieved, or just a unlogical common pump??

Probably because of the ability to email and text the Bytes at will.  I consider it a major upgrade / feature.

Can I tip someone with a simple link? That would be really cool. Being able to message someone on facebook/reddit/insta, "Thank you here is a tip" Having things easily hyperlinked and tied with a balance would be really cool. That would help marketing and usage. "Click here to receive your payment for work." Does this type of stuff already exist with other coins?

[jjacob]

No, they go to IOTA instead which is much "cheaper" at only $x.xx.... without caring that it is a coin that has delivered NOTHING of what is suppossed to do. Have anyone seen where is that code that would run on microcontrollers? I have been trying to find sources for Arduino to no avail.... well, in fact, no source for any microcontroller at all. Not even beta, or alpha, or a fucking draft.... NOTHING.

That's because people are idiots.  The same idiots don't buy bitcoin because they think they have to invest $13k to get one.  Same for the stock market.  You don't have to buy a full share of Google.
I don't think those are the kind of people that should be buying into crypto anyway.

Sorry to nitpick - but can you buy a fraction of a share? You cannot, at least in my country. The smallest unit you can buy is one share. So the fact that virtual currencies are almost infinitesimally divisible is an advantage.
Companies come out with bonus shares and share splits to overcome the disadvantage that you cannot buy a fraction of a share. This improves liquidity of those shares.
