Hi, I'm thinking of passing my cryptocapital on to my grandchildren when the time comes  and wonder whether that possible with any  contract on Obyte platform?

It is, but the features that enable this kind of thing are currently available only on testnet, so you will need to wait a little bit more with the dying until it gets released to mainnet Tongue

Thanks, I'm not going to die and asked cuz the topic how to pass cryptocurrency on to heirs is widely discussed by users of Russian board , and now, I can tell them of the available solution designed on Obyte platform.

IOTA is probably not a scam, but that's pretty much the only good thing to say about it. The words "scam" is so misused by cryptocurrency people. Like the quote above, "delusion" is more accurate word. IOTA is DLT, just not very good one.

Last time I visited this thread was a year ago.
As far as I can see people here are still arguing if Obyte
is scam or not, if management decisions are good or not.

Either a lot of people invested and are now dissatisfied due to price
or there is something wrong with the whole coin.

Whatever it is, Obyte is a popular coin, using different (than most) distribution method
which will bring variety to the whole blockchain experiment. Good luck.

OByte use DAG as IOTA trying also to use - since years, but IOTA can't solve DAG well. IOTA seems to be the "first" and "big" DAG project, but IOTA isn't a true DLT, because the centralized structure through Coordinator. IOTA will be sold as DLT, but IOTA isn't a DLT project. So is IOTA a simple scam.

So is IOTA a simple scam.

I agree that the existence of the Coordinator makes it horrible solution, but it's still a DLT.

DLT stands for distributed ledger technology, not decentralized ledger technology.
DAG is just a database structure, a graph of nodes (transactions) that should be linked so they form specific direction and not circle back to previous nodes (transactions).
Same as blockchain is just a database structure called linked list of nodes (blocks), technically it's also graph if you take account all orphaned nodes (blocks). Some say that blockchain needs to be decentralized and PoW too, but the main point that makes blockchain a blockchain is the Byzantine Fault Tolerance, which is also requirement for all DLTs. What makes the DLT a DLT is that the data is distributed and all nodes (databases) come to same conclusion (they add only valid blocks/transaction to the database in same order on all nodes even if they are received in different order). This solves the double-spend problem.
Most mainstream people now call everything a blockchain, while what they actually mean is DLT.

Both blockchain and DAG cryptocurrencies are DLTs. What DLT is not - a single database or multiple replications of a single database, which is operated by same operator.

Obyte was a DLT even when all witnesses were operated by Tony. Now with 2 witnesses replaced, Obyte is even more decentralized than how Libra was suppose to launch (15/100 validators = 15%, 2/12 witnesses = 16%), but main difference is that Obyte witnesses don't vote on valid transactions or double-spends, they just provide transaction ordering with their own transactions.

Cryptocurrency platform where the governance entity can censor transactions is still a DLT, just not very good one (Hedera Hashgraph, EOS). Bitcoin can be censored too if mining pools collude, but even then, it is still DLT. For example, mining pools could agree not to add any Satoshis transactions to new blocks and Satoshi would be fucked because there is no way he could build a mining farm that powerful now to compete with existing mining pools (unless he already controls one). It will still be blockchain and DLT, even if they do censor Satoshi.

You can see all Tony's latest posts there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=412662;sa=showPosts

Most work has gone into bringing smart-contracts as powerful as Ethereum to Obyte, they will be called Autonomous Agents and it's available on testnet already.
https://medium.com/obyte/introducing-autonomous-agents-6fe12fb12aa3

There has been improvements how witnesses are displayed on app and stats page, so people can make better decision with new upcoming witnesses.
https://medium.com/@pauljamesmurray/wallet-version-2-8-0-released-d620dc825e07
https://medium.com/@pauljamesmurray/showing-the-world-that-blocks-and-miners-are-not-needed-the-alternative-obyte-witness-model-is-a2fa95f4272
https://medium.com/@pauljamesmurray/new-witness-monitoring-service-autonomous-agents-contest-update-408b7a79281a

Also, still lot of effort goes into explaining what witnesses do, some people still confuse them with gatekeepers like block producers or voters. In order to remove the confusion with Steem Witnesses, alternative name to Witnesses is now Order Providers.

CoinMarketCap ranking doesn't show any change to these announcement, it has been stuck at #262 since CMC introduced new ranking system for all coins outside top 200.
CoinGecko ranks Obyte on #182 https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/obyte

Good. I understand. IOTA is a kind of WCLT. (= well centralized ledger technology......) Well.
Me "centralized" won't equal "distributed"...... Sorry.

I suggest, that OByte using #1 DAG algo! Yes, OByte is the first working DAG algo. Simple. Blockchain is popular, but don't better. It is then #1 ranking for OByte. Congratulation to all dev's!

Decentralization is spectrum, not binary value.

Open source enables us to improve Bitcoin and many have inspired by Bitcoin to build alternative solutions, trying to fix the shortcomings that Bitcoin has.

Yet, for over 5 years, Bitcoin has preferred ASIC-miners, which has grown so big problem that you have to do it in pools to even have any chance to win a block reward.

And who controls the manufacturing of ASICs - few companies, which products are hard to get in other ways than from those few, GPUs circuits are manufactured by many. Who could buy a GPU and mine ETH? Anyone who owns less than 1 BTC, just go to computer shop and buy bunch of GPUs.

And who controls, which transactions get picked to next block? Mining pools, but it should be individual miners in pool who decide.

All these improvements have been solved on many altcoins, yet Bitcoin is so centralized that none of that gets merged because it's not in the interest of ASIC manufacturers.

Again, not completely centralized and not decentralized, it's a spectrum of many things.

With the new release of the wallet which is the best way to make the backup of a full node wallet, so that we backup also the blackbytes? Just to do the full backup or to copy the whole directory?

Why wouldn't you do it the same way you've done it in the part?
Same process for all versions.

Full Backup

It makes a file you can use on any platform.

Now, I think you might be asking how to convert a full node to a light wallet in an attempt to retain your bytes/blackbytes in the process?



I'm just asking since I remember discussions in the past where it was suggested to backup the whole byteball directory so as to be sure to secure also the blackbytes. As for converting a full node to a light wallet I guess you could do that by just transferring you assets to a light wallet on another device, am I right? But in fact would then a full backup of a light wallet retain also the blackbytes?

The functionality to backup all wallet data (including private data) is built into the wallet app in the Setting menu.
Converting a full node to light node is complicated, you could:
* transfer the blackbytes to some other wallet.
* copy the seed words.
* destroy the wallet and start it again to create a light wallet.
* restore the seed words.
* transfer blackbytes back to new wallet.

You are missing one of the features of built-in backup feature, which is the encryption with a passphrase. This makes it possible to backup your wallet to cloud drive.
I guess you could do the same by password protecting the zip file or adding the password spending restriction, but that seems like lot more work.

I never trust any cloud services when it comes to these kind of things and my wallet is not password protected. Why would I need it if the wallet is on my home computer. Anyway I use multisig 1-of-2 wallet and if even one of two is out off commission  I'm safe.

No trust needed when encrypted with strong passphrase. If the backup is on same machine as the wallet then it's really not a backup, but copy of data folder.
But yeah, 1-of-2 wallet is good option too, but it would still be good to have a backup of that other device somewhere else too.

The copy of Obyte's data folder on the non-system drive that residents on the same machine is still a back-up if the system drive failed.  Wink Of course, it's a matter of taste whether you holding that copy on second drive or, say, on removable flash drive.
