My wallet corrupted because of my mistake and I found I only have a backup of ~/.config/byteball before the last airdrop, and therefore the last airdrop(Nov 2017) of blackbytes could not be recovered. Anybody knows is there a way to recover it? Thank you.

I can still open the old sqlite database. Are there any tables I can merge into the backup in order to recover the blackbytes?

Normally, your balances should update once you have recovered from your backup. There is a possibility that your address did simply not receive the blackbytes, this has happened in the past. Verify that your Byteball address was indeed linked (to a Bitcoin address) before the distribution, and if so, contact Tony, he is the only one who can resend the blackbytes.

Tony is waiting for a token to continue with the wcg payouts:

rewards are not working now because of GDPR https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=api#834  I contacted them and wait for a token

(from slack)

As far as I do understand, every participant has to provide its token to let the particular data access by the API. Probably the bot has to be extended that every campaign participate has to provide the token when it signs up, similar to the payment address.

Just a quick question: any updates regarding the WCG server issue? Seems like your coin is not the only one having that problem with WCG after the GDPR deadline. Strangely enough other BOINC projects don't seem to be that hard on their data request policies.

I did received the blackbytes in the wallet that is now corrupted(whenever it is opened, it asks me to create new address). I can still open the sqlite db file in the corrupted wallet and find those airdrop outputs that pays to me. However those outputs does not exist in the backup, and when I open the backup, airdrop bytes are updated without problem, but blackbytes are not shown. I guess something in the corrupted db must be merged into the backup but not sure which ones.

If I copy the db file byteball-light.sqlite from corrupted wallet directory into the backup, and open it, there is an error:
Uncaught exception: Error: user version 19 > 18: looks like you are using a new database with an old client
Looks like some versioning issue.

Looks like the problem is solved after I manually set user_version back to 18 by opening the db file in sqlitebrowser, execute: PRAGMA user_version=18, and save it.

Been running the World Community Grid app for like a week now and no Byteball payments, anyone got the same issue?

Previously I was receiving payments once a day.

WCG had 25 months to prepare for the EU GDPR and waited at the last moment to write their legal documents. While they lawyers are writting.... the API used by Tony to provide the daily reward, is closed.

Hello Tony,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.  As you've noticed, access to the APIs is now restricted to people who obtain a token. To get the token, you must first sign our Data Processing Agreement to ensure that you're willing to comply with certain requirements about how the API data must be processed. We are still finalizing the text of this Agreement and will email you as soon as it's ready.  We have just implemented the release which allows members to access their own API stats: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=582183

Please note that volunteers now have the option of making their data private, which would exclude it from the API export files and by default, all new volunteers' data will be private. You may want to hold on to the latest export files you have, and once you gain access through the token, you can compare the data to figure out the currency distribution retroactively.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to work aggressively to ensure compliance with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation and the protection of our volunteers' data.

Thank you for your support,

World Community Grid Support Team

Really? Are you serious, mate?
Today, I have not sent my bytes, but in the past everything done very very fast.
By the way, Cryptopia exchange got troubles with Byteball transactions in the last few weeks, so please be carefull if you have intention to send your coins to the one.
There are lots of users, especially Byteball signature participants complained about Cryptopia exchange's deposits.

I am serious and try to do it. I do not use exchange. oh it turns out I've found the problem that happened at this time.
Apparently there is maintenance on the server byteball. I opened the group and finally saw much clearer information.

GBYTEBTC chart with 1day candles



This looks like a good area for the bottom. Bitcoin rising vs fiat helps because all alts become more buoyant too in that environment. 

First rising trendline didn't hold but next one looks more solid. Divergence between RSI and price with lower low not reflected on RSI. Also RSI looks oversold on this scale.

We have not received WGC tokens and bytes for more than a week. Will the coins earned in the meantime be reimbursed later when the token from WorldGridCommunity was received? Regardless of this, I will continue to participate. I'm only interested.

Very nice, thank you for this feature.

Yes. When the bot will have access to stats again, it will take into account the points earned while stats were unavailable.
