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. 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 Glad to hear! Could you tell us more about this? These real life stories are the most authentic marketing I can imagine.

An update about our upcoming promotional activities. 1. Eli Taranto has joined our team as PR and Marketing director. He has a strong track record in marketing, business development, and investor relations. See his LinkedIn profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/eli-taranto/He will be paid from the Community Fund 2. Steve will give a talk about Byteball at World Crypto Economic Forum in San Francisco http://wcef.co/ on January 15-16. Eli will also be there, and there is a number of meetings planned in addition to the conference. Unfortunately, I cannot attend as it was unrealistic to get a visa within such short time frame. We sponsor WiFi at the conference. This is paid from the Community Fund. We will also send out $10 worth textcoins to all 1000 participants of the conference. This will be paid from the undistributed funds. And it is one of the new distribution methods. 3. I will speak at Altcoin Meetup in Zurich on February 2. The meetup is organized by Bitcoin Association of Switzerland.

Hi tonych, You may find this quite an authentic marketing possibility for a future portion of the remaining Bytes: https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7opnl4/bytes_accepted_here_contest_10000000_bytes_prize/dsgoj8c/When you have a moment, consider giving it a read. By engaging the community, we can provide opportunities for growing the ByteBall Economy, while also demonstrating use cases and showcasing the technology, The fact that we could build an ethical marketing machine that ties it all together is icing on the cake. It could be very powerful, and perhaps even go super viral under the right conditions. I believe the plan is ethical and would help to massively grow the entrepreneurial spirit of our ByteBall Economy. Bytes need to circulate amongst us more and more to build value in the system. Anyways, hope you find it interesting. love what you guys are doing. cheers. Pinstripe.

Simple beautiful this news! Textcoin is a very powerful tool. This will greatly help Byteball and future ICOs to enter the real world. Keep it up

Allow me to quote the main part of this link: What if… Byteball makes a special ‘Discover Byteball’ page where people can upload their contactlist with email addresses. Every email address you provide will receive 1 MB (± $0,70) via textcoin from this fund. I see two main problems with this: 1. Basically, it's spamming people. And although that is a powerful method used by almost every social media website, I personally hate it when a company sends me an email because someone else leaked my email address. 2. It will be very easy to abuse. Giveaways in general are heavily abused, and if all that's required is an email address, many people will claim this many times.
Here is your link to receive 25000 Bytes (≈0.03 USD): https://byteball.org/openapp.html#textcoin?repair-spoon-lumber-correct-rug-depth-account-sun-hammer-below-noble-garden

Byteball's technical development and community have always been strong, we definitely needed some more marketing. Beefing up the marketing team and increasing our media presence will definitely attract more users to Byteball.

This is a good thing, even though they should have spent a few more words for us, Byteball surely deserves that  However, even a simple mention like this with the link to Byteball's website is a very good thing - smart money doesn't need more

These emails must come from a known trusted sender. It is either a person-to-person email/chat, or a mass mailing from a business/organization you already have some relations with.

The market seems to be reacting positively to the upcoming promotional activities on Byteball. Was news about the upcoming promotion published elsewhere before today? That could explain the huge run up in price over the last couple of days. If it was not, then it could be a classic case of traders with inside information lapping up cheap bytes.

The funny thing is the market reaction to price below and above $1000: $800 - too expensive, won't buy. $1150 - solid coin, easy buy.

It is only 645.222 GBYTE-"Coins" on the market atm, that's not so much compared to other projetcs, all ok  Price corrected to a normal level for such a fantastic plattform!

A technical question: if I have a multi-signature wallet, do I need to point all devices to same hub?

Representatives of this country or city will use the most localized social software to do market expansion

Byteball was recently mentioned by Richard Heart and Max Keiser on the Keiser Report which could be a factor in recent market activity. https://youtu.be/3qND1V9qDnQ?t=7m56s
