Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[Hhugh]

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

Another small but important update: when a textcoin link is clicked on Android which doesn't have Byteball app installed yet, the user will be automatically redirected to our app on Google Play and the textcoin will be passed on to Google Play, then to the newly installed app, and claimed immediately after the wallet is created.  Which is a very smooth process for new users.

Tony, you are a boss!!

I also like a lot the new wallet showing dollar values of GB and assets,will it be possible in future to also add Euros(and eventually other FIAT currencies)?

Multicurrency Values of GB was a good option for the future. I think that is possible, Tonych can use the Coinmarketcap API instead the Bittrex API. I hope he like your Idea...

You are silently doing something great and I do hope you will get what you deserve for your work and committment to this project.
I am using the Byteball app with some friends where we chat together, bet together, share expenses together and that feels so great. I can't do the same with any other coin!
Thanks tony

This is really a lovely idea! I can't wait to see the habit of people sending bytes through textcoins becoming mainstream!

The problem is that nobody care about tech, only marketing matters.

The problem is that nobody care about tech, only marketing matters.

Most people only care about exchanges, exchanges, exchanges. Marketing... This is so narrow minded! The value derives from the technology, not from exchanges and promoting inside South Korea! Exchanges and all those things could be added/done later on and then price would eventually soar anyway, so why caring about marketing all the time?

Yes! That is why all crypto space is currently such a big pile of shit. Hopefully, dedicated people like tonych will eventually change this.

At this point in time, yes short-term hype marketing is king. However in the long run superior tech (with some visibility of course) and cryptos that inspire long-term confidence will win. Currency is not just a cord connection standard. Look at Monero. That's a currency I would be comfortable buying for the long-run, in the top five in my book. Completely a community effort. Or look at raiblocks. Around for three years with good development and tech, just now got visibility. Marketing is a good idea, but the lack thereof is no reason for despair.

Hey guys!

There is a translation for Portuguese on https://crowdin.com/project/byteball, but not PT-BR.

So, can I help the project with PT-BR translation?

Are Blackbytes listed on any public exchange yet?

[AlexNedano]

so why caring about marketing all the time?

I don't. Just saying, that the fact that blockhain whin unique consensus will soon disapear  from the 1st cmc page is crazy.

Are Blackbytes listed on any public exchange yet?

No, you can use a trade bot inside the Wallet to trade BlackBytes.

Sure, I've used the bot to get BB and it's great, but having them traded on the exchange would be much better for the project's visibility.

railblocks no. That is a deeply flawed bitcoin without a blockchain and has a dev that sticks his head in the sand about it. You can read more here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1219264 I don't think XRB has a long term future at all.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to mention that for those of you who don't usually frequent our https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/,
A few days ago, I posted an article that seemed to get a decent response: why not check it out if you haven't already:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7peq14/some_guys_view_on_byteball_right_now/

Let's put our two most divisive issues behind us and move forward united & engaged in building this amazing thing together.

Wonderful things are happening all over the place.

Hang on tight, We are sitting on a Rocket.

All the best.

I will express my opinion - byteball is the best crypt that I have seen since the moment when I started acquaintance with them in 2013. It is difficult even for me to compare it with other projects. So great functionality and ease of operation. The same ethereum is good, but everything is much more complicated, this gas for transactions is just horrible. Special thanks to the developers of Tonich and his team. It's a huge job.This is a huge work that never stops and I think in a long time we will see many more interesting things on the byte. I also very much hope that a byte ball will find use in storing information and simply in paying for goods. Also I'm sure black bytes will surprise many with their price in the near future. This year will be very significant bytes very much the bottom advantage and will appreciate the team's work. Of course this is a reflection of value. But here I am afraid to make any predictions.

This coin is brilliant but in order to succeed,

listing on coinmarketcap must be in MBYTE or KBYTE

https://www.coindesk.com/weathering-altcoin-shitstorm-investing-next-one/

"It seems ridiculous to say, but the cheaper the asset, the greater the chance of a return. And when I said cheap, I'm not referring to a fundamental measure of value like a value investor would (P/BV, P/E, etc). I'm referring to its price.

A chart of returns over the past seven days paints this picture. There's a direct negative correlation between the price of the token and return. It's scary, but it's unfortunately true."

"Investors trying to find fundamental value are ripping their eyes out. XRP, with legitimately zero fundamental usage (see below), just passed BTC in diluted market cap."
