Got the news on recently big achievements of the World Community Grid Byteball. I joined the community today and hope that I will get amazing news, and other things there. Thank you, meterse. This World Community Grid project is really awesome : the concept of contributing to research with almost no investment of time or money is something the crypto community should should embrace with greater convinction to show "non-crypto" people we are on the right track and to make them feel uncomfortable not to be on the same track we are walking on. Good job to byteball team with supporting this project. With all due respect but has this whole WCG project produced any real world benefit or is it just calculations for the sake of calculations akin to SETI Project with ZERO results so far and only hope keeping it alive? |

You would need to ask WCG projects, but given its been going for many years you would expect so |

Hello. Is there any plans to increase witnesses quantity in the future?
Before considering this it would make sense to first have the 12 public witnesses stated in the whitepaper. The aim is to have 6 decentralized by January 2019 |

It's real science, most WCG projects eventually release scientific publications and contribute to improve knowledge. There can be though years between calculations are finished and paper is published. Computational biology and chemistry are nowadays essential, many universities and research institutes own computing farms to run projects. So it's certainly not calculations for the sake of calculations. |

Bloodbath Trading volume is still really low, so if somene sells just a small amount, it drops hard. People have stopped to buy altcoins in general in this altcoin bloodbath, waiting for a credible bottom to be in before pouring more money there. To sell bytes at this low price it's quite insane, thus the low volume, but of course if someone decides to unload his bags than such drops obviously occur. |

I thought it is more like SETI but comes out like something worth participating. |

Thanks Tony! A restart of the wallet did not fix the problem directly. The message appeared again. However a restart of the computer fixed the problem. I knew that Blackbytes are not transferred. They are still stored on the old machine. How can I restore Blackbytes on my new machine as well? I bought a new computer and installed Byteball software and restored my wallet by using my wallet seed. I had a wallet already on my old computer. After seed import and required wallet restart I received an error message: Uncaught exception: Error: message encrypted to unknown key, device 0<snip>R, len=228. The error might be caused by restoring from an old backup or using the same keys on another device. Then the wallet quits. What does the message mean exactly? I understand the meaning but not what I need to do to restore and use my wallet. This is normal after restoring from seed or an old backup. Close the wallet and restart. Never open the wallet on the old computer, or you get "message encrypted to unknown key" again. |

We have similar integrations coming soon for other large online communities.
Why not airdropping to Facebook users? It's the ultimate online community with 2.2 billion active users. Providing that 10% users would participate giving 1 MB airdrop to 0.22 billion users would take 220 000 GB. |

Providing that 10% users would participate giving 1 MB airdrop to 0.22 billion users would take 220 000 GB. Because Byteball foundation cares more about wide fairness distribution (well, what they say is fair) rather than fixed and predictable rules. If it is going to be gamable means it cant be done. Because of that, airdrops to holders (or any other predictable-by-design distribution method) is a good form of distribution (better if it last years). It cant be gamed. And anybody could know how much and when will be the next coin supply increase. Distribution problem solved. This is what I think: encourage hold until BB reaches a wide userbase. But nobody except two or three slack users agrees with me. |

Do anyone know if this affects Byteball? Ethan Heilman and Dr. Neha Narula, Director of the Digital Currency Initiative at the MIT Media Lab, claims IOTA's Curl-P could be broken using a cryptanalysis technique discovered in the 1990s.
