To scale down the denomination of Byteball on exchanges (from Gigabytes to Megabytes or lower) has been debated for a while now, mainly for reasons of marketing. But someone has pointed out that there are deeper reasons for doing that: to define a Byteball unity as 1 Gigabyte would be like defining an unity of dollar as 1 Million $. Of course this does not make any sense if you are looking for mass adoption, like Byteball is:

Ordinary investors don't really think that deeply. A lot of them just go out and buy the cheapest coin they can find, hoping it will explode like Bitcoin. We need those investors, just like we need the true believers of Byteball.
Denominating GB as the basic unit of Byteball ensures that they pass on.

You are sharing my same opinion without fully realizing it. In fact, not many of the community seem to have understood my post. As soon as you post something just a bit out of the usual common places and stereotypes people look at you as a fool (or an hopium smoker). Even here in the crypto world. Even here in the Byteball community. Sad.

I disagree about needing to change the denomonation. 1 bitcoin is a large sum of money but that doesn't do it any harm. The unit of GByte is quite convenient and nowhere near as big an amount as 1 bitcoin. The denomination is not the problem. If the price rises to millions of dollars we seemlessly start quoting in lesser amounts. Its no big deal, when theres a need.

This is true, we need those investors. The distribution has chased those investors away. For the time being. Savvy investors who like byteball will not buy now they will wait until the distribution is ending. There is no incentive to invest now while supply still needs to increase by 30 to 40% Or they give up bored if it becomes the never ending story.

Some people don't really get it. The only reason people buy Bitcoins is because they hope to sell it 10X or 100X higher. They consider it a store of value which possibly can make them rich.
Byteball is supposedly aiming to become a form of money people can actually use. Widespread adoption is the mission. For that purpose the base unity you are using to count the currency must be an everyday life quantity. Gigabytes are the "million of dollars" of Byteball - that doesn't make any sense for a currency you are actually planning to use. You need to scale it down.
Or perhaps the mission instead IS to make Byteball a store of value like Bitcoin. Then this should be stated clearly. But I don't think Tony is thinking like that, which is good, because what the world need is a cryptocurrency people can actually easily use. As a store of value, Bitcoin is already enough.

Yes it is supposedly aiming for that (money you can spend) - (bitcoin started out with that aim too). Its a long long way from that at the moment. I have never yet seen anything I can buy with byteball. When it gets there and one byte is something more valuable than a tiny fraction of a cent (or penny) then maybe that will be a practical unit to quote price with. Besides money needs to be a store of value or it won't be much good as money

Version 2.6.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

Notable improvements:

* Ability to hide unused and junk assets.  Now you can hide Nicebytes and other useless tokens.



* Creating polls from Send tab (thanks Tarmo for contributing)
* Changing display unit (GB, MB, etc) from Send tab (thanks Tarmo again)
* Suggested commands in chat: they are inserted but not sent automatically, user can edit before sending.  One of the bots will be updated in a few days and use this feature.
* Ability to scan QR codes that encode textcoin based paper wallets
* Fixed a bug which caused restore from seed to create a multi-address wallet while the original one was single-address
* Multiple minor improvements and bugfixes

I love it, @tonych.
One more feature added to Bot Store which based on Byteball platform, a dice game.
It looks nice, so I gonna spend my time to discover it more later this week when I have a bit more spare time, might be someday nearly the coming weekend.

Oooh, this one I like. However, from a non-byte holder's standpoint, I think this would be best if it has its own website apart from the bot store. I discovered Bitcoin dice games because of Google after learning about Bitcoin. If all features of Byteball is just within the wallet, no one will discover it.

What you guys should do is create a thread under the Bitcointalk forum under "Gambling" and post this dice game there.

I am sure there are many old bitcoin adopters who claimed the Byteball distributions last year and would like to have some fun with their coins. Might bring out the awareness for Byteball. The gambling section is a pretty big part of Bitcointalk.

I don't think bytes should be burned at this stage, this would give the market the idea of "total failure of adoption", since the original ideal was to give them by usage.
Maybe it should restart with that full moon distribution stuff because it clearly made a difference, but this time in a rate that would take several years to distribute all the bytes.  Wink

I think your ideas is very good, which might bring Byteball to more crypto enthusiasts.
More attention on this coin, high capital to come later.
So far, Byteball team have made nice initiatives to develop the project well and very far away from its beginning years ago.

As usual, Byteball team have made great initiatives to bring the project to more people, especially crypto enthusiasts.
Moreover, the project might be used more widely around the globe with the Dice bot game, which was released recent days.
@Tonych should implement new massive promotional campaign to spread the words out, in particular the Byteball Dice game.

Most crypto coins/tokens have that ultimate goal of replacing fiat. Unfortunately, only a handful are used to buy for goods and services. And if and when they are used as such, merchants almost always quickly convert to fiat. The current financial system is so well entrenched in our daily lives that replacing it will take a lot of time and effort.
