Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[LoyceV]

I like the faucet idea, but I can imagine Tony doesn't want to deal with thousands of faucet farmers overloading http://byteball.org/ with requests. 2000 Bytes is worth 0.07 cent, people solve captchas for less than that.

Hi there Tony,
I was curious about byteball recently and looked up what you did there. I wonder why you think it is better to give witness spots to democratically elected candidates instead of giving them to the biggest wallets. I can understand that in case of collusion big wallets lose everything and on the other hand elected politics can win a lot of money and lose only trust but they can always explain their action blaming hack for example. It is counterintuitive to me and I really do not understand it. It would be a really nice incentive to hold byteball too. Imagine 12 top wallets earning bytes, accumating more and more to be a witness.

wallet size is just one of many criteria, let users decide.  And users would reasonably select those who have something to lose both within byteball and outside it.

I don't see how witnesses can win by misbehaving.

We have seen this with XRB. It became a beggar coin with constant bad mouthing about the faucet down or not properly working. I suggest not to go down that route.

Agreed... that could very easily make Byteball look like a bush league project.

Congrats on finding it.
It's already been invented.
Definitely has a future.
I think you're asking why it's so cheap.  It's because it doesn't have the advertising / pump&dump marketing that other coins have.

> 600 $ is cheap? what is the maximun it can be? roadmap?

thx

[-doubleU-]

in 07/2017 Byteball was 900$ / 0.35 BTC worth. the Price in the last months is very cheap and now recovered slowly

Yes there's only one million GBYTE compared to 2000+ million MIOTA or 21 million BTC. Market cap is what to look at. I would say GBYTE could go to $10,000 or higher using historical prices and comparing to IOTA market cap. Roadmap is to add features and fix bugs. New exchanges may come soon also.

I think for many people its a little difficult to wrap your head around Bytes, Gigabytes and Blackbytes. ITs easier if you are grounded in CS but for everyone else its not so easy. Maybe there is some easier way to express this.

Hi!

I've found that Byteball chat is very cool and working like charm, but wondering that is the Byteball chat encrypted or not?

Also would love to know that is TOR option going to be in Android wallet anytime soon?

Thanks in advance!

The chat is encrypted end-to-end.
It seems to me that TOR was removed from Android app, I don't remember why.

CoinDesk didn't include DAG in 2018 predictions or 2017 year in review... which I think is a partial failure for DAG coins.

If you agree > like/retweet this asap.

byteball should be 50% of iota ?

Why not, the technology is online.  

500% of iota he meant to post. Well done I agree.

But byteball fans all hide in here telling each other how great it is whilst iota fans are all over the main alt board where the noobs arrive to find the cheap iota and expensive bb

May be community should take over spreading the word about Byteball and try get it in more exchanges,but that will need money some exchanges will ask to be paid to list the coin,Ebtc Community paid 2.5Btc to be listed in coinexchange they managed to get 2.5Btc within few days using donations from the community may be we can do the same here make a Multisig wallet controlled by some reputable members like Michail1 for donation here and move from there. i guess it worth paying some money to get Byteball in some more reputable exchanges.

I would also contribute (not much) to something like this, provided your would try to list it as Mbytes not GB. It's so sad how all the noobs think it's soooo expensive

[Crypto Legend]

I hope that the team immediately add in other exchanges to increase trading volume and can make the price skyrocket as happened with the middle of this year.

I've posted a suggestion earlier. It's getting ignored. The price in coinmarketcap and on exchanges should be denominated in MB, not in GB. $600 + is expensive, and ms cyborg here is just one of the few who (unfortunately) think like this. But $0.6 for 1MB is cheap!! Ms Cyborg and others like him would definitely buy 1000MB at $0.6 / MB, rather than 1 GB at $600 / GB.. which is expensive!

So... how can we list BYTEBALL in $/MB.. this will do wonders for the adoption!

it's been discussed a million times. for whatever reason it's not happening. this is one of the very simplest things to do and it would make a huge difference whether we like it or not. i can't believe that one single coin hasn't done this yet when it's so obvious.

something as huge as bitcoin can't do this without it being messy. byteball is small enough. it's byteball's loss if it doesn't happen.

I figure questions like this are simply rhetoric and rhetorical.

Asking what the maximum is can be?  Give me a break.   I'll answer though.... "Infinity and beyond"
Roadmap - There isn't one listed publicly.  Asking over and over again doesn't change the answer.

Getting ignored might be what you think.  Maybe propose a different question?   Or, it could be that no one has an answer so chooses to remain silent.

Expensive or not doesn't matter.  It's the percentage of gain you make.  People are simpletons.  Really, truely idiots and don't understand that.
Plenty of videos of people offering an OZ of Gold or a Bag of Chocolate Candy, and they all picked the Candy over the gold.  They simply don't realize the value or that they could have bought 100 Bags of Candy with that gold ounce.

People would rather have 50 OZ of Silver rather than 1 OZ of Gold.   50 is more than 1, right?

You're right!   People would rather buy "1000MB at $0.6 / MB, rather than 1 GB at $600 / GB"   Quite simply because they're morons and we need those morons to drive the price higher since they don't realize it's the same number.  I agree, it would be nice if the exchanges/coinmarketcap list Byteball in terms of MB.

You don't need to be a computer scientist to differentiate between bytes and gigabytes. You just need common sense. Unfortunately, people seem to be swayed by the face value of coins. So yes, they may be more inclined to buy coins at $0.6/mb than $600/gb.
I am not sure that there is any way to convince the exchanges to change their notation, especially since they have a ticker for GB.

[sprinkles]

I strongly recommended someone I know just getting into crypto to put something into Byteball as a high potential/undervalued project.
He put his money into Cardano instead as it's cheaper!
