argh...missed again  

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

Got it!

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.

Use a light wallet.  Takes like 15 seconds.

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

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.

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

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.

No.  The smallest unit you can purchase is 1 byte
1gb = 1million bytes.
1gb = $300
1million bytes = $300

So, how about you send me $0.0000003 and I will send you a byte?
Oh wait, you can't send me $0.0000003.

The problem is not cryptocurrency.  The problem is that your country/world currency is only divisible by 2 decimal places.

Same for the stock market.  You are NOT required to buy 1 share of Google.  You can by $50 worth of a google share.  Since people are simple idiots, they say google is too expensive and don't buy any, because in their small heads think they need to buy a $500 share.  You don't need to buy a full ounce of gold.... You can buy a quarter ounce or 10th of an ounce, and yet, those same idiots don't buy gold cause they believe they have to buy a $1300 ounce.

1 GB is a billion bytes, unless you're using obscure euro lingo.

[HCP]

Does anyone else find it a little ironic that you have potential investors claiming that the price of GBYTE is "too high compared to IOTA"... and current investors claiming that the price of GBYTE is "too low compared to IOTA"

[BTC Turkiye]

I just withdraw my funds from Cryptopia and they gave me this TX code
wcMYoABAPW+OkBymeML2jIgCVLcK9LMnl4vCz6PvzyU=

But it says the unit doesn`t exist when I put this code in https://explorer.byteball.org
and I haven`t recieved my transaction even though there is a TX code. It`s been days

Can someone help me here please?

[zecon]

Anyone who would simply read the whitepaper would take a position in GBYTE.

Simple and works.

I did, even it’s one of my worst performer if I was to sell. I’m holding on to every coins that I have. I’m sure ByteBall will see it’s better days with BTC pair.

I've been including free bytes for no reason.  Only need to claim them.  It wasn't specifically for you, but for anyone to click and take.

You're going to need to contact them.  It's possible they have an issue with their wallet in that they appear to have paid you, but the payment was not broadcasted.  So, you will never see it.  They will be able to correct the issue for you.  It's not anything any of us can do.

Does anyone else find it a little ironic that you have potential investors claiming that the price of GBYTE is "too high compared to IOTA"... and current investors claiming that the price of GBYTE is "too low compared to IOTA"

Any real investor is going to know they can buy $1 instead of being forced to buy $300 worth.  I don't think a real investor ever thinks they are limited or required to put in a certain amount.

1 GB is a billion bytes, unless you're using obscure euro lingo.

Thanks.  I probably should be more exact in numbers, but I was trying to simply point out that we do/don't need to make more than (for example)  21million BTC.  A person doesn't need to buy a billion satoshis at a time.

Sadly... there is no Aptitude Test required to use the Internet and/or CryptoCurrency

Makes me laugh when people are like "GBYTE" should be listed as "MBYTE" so all the crypto-n00b investors think they're getting a good deal by being able to buy a whole one... just buy a smaller chunk then!

Thanks not that I need that. But do you know the link does not work? It gives txt wrong or something.

I think you'll find it says "Textcoin already claimed"... ie. someone already claimed the Bytes

[EnViRoNmEnT]

I am a still investor and follower of GByte but now I have to say a big THX and respect to Tony, who does a really nice work The E-Mail-Gbyte-Send is a huge feature and brings real value to Gbyte! Keep it up dude

Actually it says something else. Like it is not valid or something.
