Seems that Santa Claus went on Binaryballs.com !

On the last 24h, every 1 MByte played on binaryballs.com brought back 1.36 MBytes  !

Tony,

can you please add new strings to crowdin.com so we can add translations?

Added, thanks for the reminder.

@tony are you trying to get GB listed on other exchanges or not yet? With new verification rules at bittrex most new users won't be able to buy. Binance should add GB fairly easily.

There is a fair number of exchanges for Byteball, I'm surprised that you can't find any good (and yes I agree that current Bittrex rules are exaggerated). Here's the official list again:

Exchanges: Bittrex, Cryptox, Cryptopia, Changelly, Cryptochangex, and trading bot (find it in the Bot Store in the wallet)

And.. the main reason I am here: Happy Birthday Byteball!


For the ones not aware of this, just read:

The network was launched on December 25, 2016

An update about future distribution plans.

So far, bytes were mainly distributed via airdrops to holders of BTC and Bytes, and a relatively small portion was distributed through the cashback program.  We started this free distribution with the purpose of getting the currency as wide spread as possible, and while the purpose stays the same, methods can change.  The airdrop method worked well to get the initial user base, but it also proved to be the least efficient in terms of user acquisition cost.

Over the next few months, we'll add more methods of free distribution.  One of them is already being developed, I expect it to be ready in the first half of December. 

The new methods are designed to grow our user base faster than the money supply.

....

Sorry for the delay, the new distribution method is ready now but, to make it better noticed, it will be launched (and announced) after the holidays.

Good to hear the new methods coming soon,hope to get going with the distribution and try to finish it as soon as possible so can concentrate on development,marketing and adding other exchanges.

Mean this that is it already claimed?

the new Textcoin is a book with 7 seals for me  

Edit: now any minutes later another try with the message "This textcoin was already claimed but not confirmed yet"

This video got us about 500 new users in a just few days

How many Users we are now regarding this...?

One last thing.  The remaining 1% will be given away to the first 100m users who install Byteball wallet, 100 Kbytes to each user.  This will start 6 months from now or later, after we get ready for that scale.

Valid but already claimed. You must have a Byteball wallet on your computer to be able to claim.

Could we somehow relist Byteball on coinmarketcap with the MB denomination and price... instead of GB price? A $0.8 price / MB is easier to wrap head around .. compared to $800 / GB.. Not to mention the pshychological barrier of large numbers.

I think it would be a good idea to create a faucet with link on the main page so new users could play with the functionality of the wallet and with small amounts like 2000 bytes or something. It wouldn't cost much but would allow new users to play and learn how awesome byteball is. It's a bit frustrating after installing the wallet to see 0 bytes With faucet new users would see 2000 bytes - yippee!
