Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[petr87]

Thank you! How to participate in the distribution. I sent a bot message, but he needs a transfer from bitcoin-purse. What does he want? I want the spread to be 0.3GB, not bitcoins.
I have 0GB on my wallet now, maybe this is the problem? (my GB is still on the stock exchange)

Normally you must hold your (Giga)Bytes in your wallet. Some stock exchanges like cryptox.pl give the airdrop to the users (with a little Fee) that hold Bytes on the Exchange.

Thanks!

Version 2.1 released: https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

* Added ability to send all public assets as textcoins.  Previously it was available only for bytes.
* Added ability to remove the sent textcoins from the wallet, which allows to create paper wallets for cold storage.  The paper wallet is just the 12 words of the textcoin.  After writing it down (and optionally printing as QR code using any QR code generator), you delete the textcoin from the wallet to protect it from online threats.  Later, you can get this money back online by using Claim link on the Receive tab of the wallet and typing the 12 words.  If you don't plan to spend 90% of your balance in the near future, this is a way to keep it safer.
* Added dollar amounts in the texts that come with textcoins.  Those who receive textcoins via email, will have a better idea how much they received.
* Added dollar amounts in the display of wallet balances, transaction history, and fees.  The fees are particularly important.  I saw many people trying to get the dollar value of Byteball fees and almost always they were 2 or 3 zeros off.  The rates are updated from Bittrex and Freebe every 5 minutes.  Hub operators, please update your hubs.
* Fixed the remaining crashes in full wallets

Great. Download and use it.

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.

Is there any news about the new distribution method?

Why do you think IOTA and XRB soared (moon, in crypto slang) while GByte is still 0.05 BTC? Any idea? It doesn't make much sense in my opinion.

Let the bullet fly for a while, dude.

it's because noobs think BB is expensive. In the meantime tony keeps ignoring our requests to list the coin in MByte to be psychologically more attractive.

Not so long ago, both Stellar Lumens and Byteball were around the same place at Coinmarketcap, around #20 based on market cap. I remember this, because both were airdropped and both had my attention.
At the moment, Stellar is #6, while Byteball is #56. Byteball only has about 33% left to distribute, Stellar has about 83% left, and keeps a very large share for it's own foundation. Stellar is centralized, has very low fees, a high cost per wallet and hence no privacy in using different addresses, and yet, it has a much higher market cap.
While Byteball went up 4-fold in the past 3 months (measured in dollars), stellar went up 70-fold. I can only dream of Byteball following this path, it would mean more than a Bitcoin per GBYTE, or as many prefer: more than 0.001BTC per MBYTE.
Stellar always had a higher 24h trading volume than Byteball, it's now 450 times larger. But Stellar is traded al almost all possible exchanges.

 The DAG uses each transaction on its “chain” to solve the ones before it, as more transactions go on the quicker the solution is found.

Byteball distributed their initial “Bytes” back in 2016 via cashback partnerships with merchants and distributing certain amounts dependent on the amount of BTC in an account. This has resulted in a headstart in the market instead of, what has become the industry standard, creating an ICO and hoping for the best.Beyond this, Byteball is offering smart contracts similar in vein to what Ethereum offers. They have even further expanded on the capabilities of these contracts for use in betting on sports events or political elections as well.

That's because the byteball is far more than the money in the public's heart, and compared to the thousands of coins in the market soaring, the byteball is thought to be the bottom at the moment

What is best exchange for this coin to buy?

I think byteball is only list on Bittrex.

[Wekkel]

Byteball is also listed on Cryptopia but their wallet has been in maintenance for quite some time already, making withdrawals impossible. I do not know the current stats thereof.

For all available markets, see: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/byteball/#markets

Bittrex
Cryptox

I like Cryptox, is not much traffic, but never had any problem.

Awesome features! BTW, improved translations didn't make it into the new version?

Didn't have time to merge them, will make it to the next.

That is an interesting comparison. You have forgotten to mention that Stellar does a hell of a marketing, and Byteball does zero marketing. We live in an age where marketing, alas, is one of the most important factors in the success of a project, because it deals with the PERCEPTION that people have of a product, which in the end is what really matters. We need a marketing division for Byteball.

Marketing might result in quick gains, but if a project has substance backing it, the project will eventually be 'discovered'. Bitcoin didn't do any marketing, but its price exploded eventually. Just think of these initial days as an opportunity to accumulate cheap GB. Once the euphoria around all these pumped coins dies down, byteball will also zoom up.
