Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[altcoinb]

Another bot added to the Bot Store:

Private chat room bot

This chatbot allows several persons to chat together using the Byteball messaging system. The bot decrypts messages and relays them to other users after reencryption. For best privacy, run your own instance of this bot using the source code below, any cheap VPS is enough to host it.

Developer: Papabyte, https://github.com/Papabyte/Private-chat-room

Very nice, thank you for this feature.
In next time i try it with my own server.

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.

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

Yes I have this same issue with WCG, just contacted them about it. I'll let you know what their response is. My only thought is that they want to pay less frequently...

You haven't been reading the thread lately have you? It's been mentioned several times what the issue is.

It's all related to the European Union's GDPR ("Global Data Protection Regulation") that came into recently. As a result of this, the WCG is unable to release the API data to organisations that have not signed an agreement to operate within the bounds of the GDPR etc.

Unfortunately, the WCG were VERY slow... And didn't get their agreement set up (ie. Approved by lawyers etc) prior to the GDPR coming into effect... So there was literally no way for ANY organisation to actually sign the agreement!

The result of this is that, currently, the Byteball WCG team have no way to access the API to determine how much work has been completed by individual team members and therefore, how much they need to pay out.

Once WCG get their shit together... And allow the Byteball WCG team to sign an agreement... The Byteball team will once again be able to access the data (no doubt this will be dependent on the the individual team members "opting-in"). Once they have the data, they will be able to do the calculations and distribute bytes.

It's not a matter of Team Byteball not wanting to pay (or pay less often)... It's simply that they cannot access the data to work out how much to pay because WCG messed up.

TLDR; WCG messed up => No API data available for Team Byteball => no payments for participants.

Any bounty for translation?

[harnorno2]

It is so sad that nobody realizes the potential of Byteball, and most people go for the 'hyped' ICO coins which may or may not give out multiple folds of returns. Nobody realizes that Byteball had probably the fairest distribution in the history of the crypto world. I would very much like to see this succeed.

I have sent Gbytes for 6 hours and the process is still unconfirmed. does this have the same issue?

This is the first time I made a deposit in Gbytes android app.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. thanks .

Byteball wallet in Bittrex has been under maintenance.
Hope that Bittrex will finish and enable transactions of Byteball in their platforms soon.

no worries, it is back to normal, deposits and withdrawals can be done again!
usually maintenance on bittrex is done in a timely fashion.
happy trading!

Byteball is interesting in features it enables but we should not forget its sins:

- the Byteball system is essentially a shared database between 12 witnesses and the rest of nodes
- it is a trusted system - you need to trust that witnesses behave honestly and are not colluding to form a cartel
- it is easily susceptible to hostile takeover. A rogue third party only needs to take control over 11 witnesses which is rather easy at government/court/police gunpoint
- for that reason the entire system can be shut down at any time

Argh I see, makes sense. I shouldv'e probably looked further into it.

Are you still bothering to run your WCG software in the mean time, or you just holding off?

You don't need to trust witnesses since you can check by yourself that they behave honestly.
You forgot that a witness that feels threatened can transfer its duty to another entity in a matters of minutes using an address definition change.
You forgot that users can decide which witnesses to use and revoke any witness that would be compromized.

And what I and all users can do with misbehaving witness that formed a cartel?

You forgot that a witness that feels threatened can transfer its duty to another entity in a matters of minutes using an address definition change.

How about witness that doesn't have time to "feel threatened". Do you think government or any hostile party will reveal its intensions by notifying the witness so he can "feel threatened" and "transfer its duty"? That's just laughable.

Remember this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Reserve

Bitcoin only exists because it can't be shut down. That's the whole point behind PoW system. Nobody has come up with anything equally resilient to takeover and not consuming so much energy. But it is well spent energy. Any PoS system devised so far is susceptible to being shut down with any charges that powers that (should not) be can concoct. Doesn't "money laundering and operating an unlicensed financial transaction system" sound good as a pretext to preserve the power and control over money system? Liberty Reserve operated unabated as long as it became to big and popular to allow it to function further. Once that happens any centralised system will be shut down right away.

You forgot that users can decide which witnesses to use and revoke any witness that would be compromized.

That's plain wrong. Users can decide to change ONLY ONE witness. If witnesses form a cartel you can't change more than one which means that you can't force misbehaving witnesses out at all. In this scenario users can only fork the entire system or make "a schism" like it's described in the white paper.

Please keep the discussion on the fact based opinions.

hi, I need help. I sent bytes from one wallet to another and the bytes never arrived. what should I do?

[Alcibiades Agnes]

I hope byteball team keep the momentum in Venezuela.

Venezuela Byteball is with you!

"We don't know what the hottest crypto project in South America is, but at the Simón Bolívar University in Venezuela it might be Byteball! 6,000 email addresses attested in one week as part of the first ever Byteball "

[cryptohunter]

and there has to be found new ways to distribute the remaining coins.
are there new ideas that hasn't be talked about yet?
or why not just burn them?

I would prefer to see them burned. We don't need more dilution. I just dont see the coins doing enough in advertising and enticing new investment to balance out another 30% dumped on the market to flippers.

shame because one of the best projects out there technically.

I tried to sell some GBB there via Chat-Bot, and have already made the payment. but nothing happened. my balance is still the same, why is this so?

[Karartma1]

I tried the Altcoin Byteball Exchange Bot yesterday but no luck in having my funds swapped. Any news?

[bitcointrader56]

 I think Byteball should partner with more universities. Students are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

I think Byteball should partner with more universities. Students are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Especially in the their world, developing countries. There are lots of talented guys in those places who can change the world entirely.

Have you checked in the explorer https://explorer.byteball.org? Do you see your bytes anywhere? Maybe you mistyped the destination address.
