That exchange seems to be focused on privacy (well, at least they claim to be). Is there any chance they would list blackbytes?

I don't think so. Sending blackbytes to the exchange would defeat their privacy as the history would be disclosed to the exchange. Even if there are users who are okay with this, sending blackbytes can only happen in private chat between sender and recipient. No other coin works this way and the exchange would be unprepared to accept deposits and send out withdrawals in this manner.

Hello, I have bytes in the windows Obyte light wallet and looking to swap them using a DEX.  Which wallets connecting to the DEX has an ability to receive bytes? I tried OKX which contains GYBTE ERC20 tokens, but can you receive tokens there by sending them from the light wallet? Thank you,

I guess Oswap DEX is what you need.

The OByte Wallat now takes up too much space on my main hard drive, so I'm trying to uninstall the wallet and install it on another fixed hard drive. But the wallet always synchronises to the C partition, is that normal or how can I change that?

Not very user friendly solution or am I doing something wrong?

On Linux, I use symlinks in such cases. As far as I know, Windows has symlinks too, you can try to symlink the data folder to a location in another partition.

Thanks for the reply, I am using Windows and will try a tutorial with symlinks.

I will now uninstall Obyte once and reinstall it on Partion D (Data), then restart the programme once to restore my addresses and Blackbytes, do I have to select a restore or can I simply copy folders from Partion C?

Why is it not possible to select a data folder as with almost all other wallets?

Copying would be easier if on the same OS, otherwise backup/restore.

Hello,

i deinstall Obyte and install Obyte 5.0.2, but i can't change the folder so i have try follow in CMD with admin rights:

Code:

D:\>mklink /J C:\Users\Buchi\AppData\Local\Programs\obyte "D:\BTC & NMC\obyte"

Verbindung erstellt für C:\Users\Buchi\AppData\Local\Programs\obyte <<===>> D:\BTC & NMC\obyte

But after to try start Obyte i get this error, it's possible to resync Obyte easy?

Uncaught exception: Error: Error: SQLITE_CORRUPT: database disk image is malformed PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL

And the program stop/close...

[tonych]

Are you sure AppData\Local\Programs\obyte is the data folder?
It might be the program folder. Please check its contents.

The data folder name should be like AppData\Roaming\obyte (not sure, writing from memory, I don't have an easily accessible Windows machine now).

Obviously, you need to copy the entire data folder to its new location before creating a symink to it.

Hello, i check and see the folder is the right, looks like i lose a folder, long time ago that i start Obyte 4.x...



Which datas i can deleted, to synch the wallet new?



I have a feeling that after a re-sync, the wallet will be fine...

How does this compare to Monero and Zcash, and has anyone done a proper comparison or review?

Former name: Byteball.

When did the name get changed and why?

This is your program folder. It's small, you don't need to bother about moving it to another partition.

The data folder.
However, I'm not sure what would be your next step after re-syncing. If you restore from backup, all data will be overwritten.

I'm not aware of any detailed comparison. The technologies are different. Regarding use options, perhaps the main difference is that Blackbytes can be sent as textcoins, without any trace on the ledger at all, like cash. Blackbyte textcoins are sent as files over any digital medium (such as email, whatsapp, etc), see details here https://blog.obyte.org/private-textcoins-6a2288d80757.

Which folder i have to delete, i have no data folder or a folder with this name...



The programme has an option at startup like any other wallet to resynch or rebuild etc.?

I can't start the program... when i delete the Obyte folder, the obyte program is also deleted...

No, I see no point in such options for Obyte wallet.

[Buchi-88]

No, I see no point in such options for Obyte wallet.

And what can I do now? I have reinstalled the wallet and still get the same error...

I think I still have an old full backup (3 or 4 years old) but I can't import that either because the wallet won't start?

Very strange because the wallet is spinning around here, hope something like this can be fixed in a new wallet, also the selection of the installation folder.

[tonych]

And what can I do now? I have reinstalled the wallet and still get the same error...

As I said above, remove the data folder.

[Buchi-88]

As I said above, remove the data folder.

You mean uninstall, remove the obyte folder not a data folder inside the obyte folder, reinstall and start as import full backup.

I hope all my tokens and blackbytes (still alive) are then restored.

Can I import the full backup to a lite wallet?
