Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[LoyceV]

What did you expect, if:
- the only exchange with liquidity, where you can trade Byteball (Bittrex) has 0.4 BTC withdrawal limit and they DON'T accept new users
~
People with deep pockets (like me) just can't put money into byteball without locking them on exchanges or then spending months to withdraw them.

My daily withdrawal limit at Bittrex is 100 BTC (enhanced account). I hate the requirements they put up to get it, but after jumping through all their hoops it works fine again.

New people cant buy and withdraw Byteball at all (no access to Bittrex, no withdrawals on Cryptopia)! They can only get Byteball via free distribution. How do you expect Byteball to gain value then?

True. That makes Byteball's untapped potential enormous. I expect a price jump if it gets added to a bigger exchange.

I swear the team to apply to KuCoin:

Basically giving out $12 for verifying your identity. Neat

As you already know from yesterday news, we are bringing identity to crypto.

Full article: https://medium.com/byteball/bringing-identity-to-crypto-b35964feee8e

Real name attestation bot is added to the Bot Store:



The bot is open source: https://github.com/byteball/real-name-attestation

It uses Jumio to verify identity.  Many of you already know Jumio because many crypto businesses trust them to do identity verification.  For example, it is integrated with Bittrex and Coinbase.



The attestation is paid, it is $8.00 per attempt, but after successfully verifying yourself for the first time, you get $20.00 from the distribution fund.  This is one of the new distribution methods.  Thanks to identity, it is abuse-free.

After being verified, a hash of the personal data is posted to the DAG while the personal data itself is saved in your wallet.  You can disclose this data to a service provider who needs it, and you choose what to disclose:



The service provider verifies this data using the above mentioned hash.

Many ICOs already require KYC from their investors.  Now, we provide this option out-of-the-box, and it is incredibly easy to use for both the end user and the ICO issuer.  No other ICO platform can do this.

The attestation bot also offers to attest that you are a non-US user if it sees that you are a non-US citizen and using non-US IP address to access the jumio site during verification.  This is useful for many ICOs that don't do full KYC but want to allow only non-US users access to their tokens.  They need it to avoid the US extraterritorial jurisdiction.

This doesn't work. I tried hours ago, the wallet just said, "No payment created or something." Maybe a server is turned off or something. I was looking for to this though.

I expect many new users from poor countries. If it's a 2 day salary I can imagine people doing this.
It is an impressive feature though, I may do this if there's a very good reason for which I need it.

Just for your info, the price for verification currently is 9,763,539 bytes. I am missing about 1,500,000 bytes to test this for all of you and cannot get these bytes quickly as long as Cryptopia withdrawal is still offline (hint: IKUW4ARNFRV763B2MOIRRILS3BGYVDJA).

I'll send you 2MB, just a sec.

Thanks, received.

I made the payment to the bot but got the following return message:

Received a payment but looks like it was not sent from a single-address wallet. Please pay for the attestation

So it looks like:
* I just wasted $8 bucks  
* I need to figure out what the hell a 'single-address' wallet means
* pay 8 bucks again once this single-address wallet thing has been resolved

Read the chat text It tells you to make a single address wallet and how to do it. I'll send you another 10MB, now don't screw it up.

That jumio page says the new system is launching on the Byteball platform today. Can anyone see it integrated in the wallet yet?

I can't get access to my wallet until tomorrow.

The new Jumio-enabled identity verification feature will be launched on the Byteball platform on 17th January 2017.

You will have to wait until the next version of the wallet is released to see this. I presume the new wallet release and the announcement from Tony will happen at the same time.

An innocent question, what's jumio?

Fly to quality: fly to Byteball!

... now don't screw it up.

I managed to finalise the procedure. PM your address so I can send 10MB back. Thanks.

I will make a short blog post describing the process later.

If others want to try the verification process, be sure to make an additional single-address walet first. If you pay for verification with bytes sent by me to you, I will receive a bounty (if you want to receive bytes for this purpose, send me the address of your single-address wallet by PM; the available balance is limited  ).

I was already attested so I thought I'd make the 12MB back from the $20 (edit: $20, not 20MB) reward I'd get when you would get attested. But probably because I didn't send the 12MB to your single wallet address it doesn't register me as the referrer. Lesson learned! Consider the MB sent a gift, spread the word!

the chart looks great, top project with a bright future

OK, if you insist Thanks for paying me back. Looking forward to reading your blog.
