Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[devlin]

Is it me or is the transition bot not working?

I can get the buy and sell bot to show up and can communicate with it, but the transition bot is not starting a conversation.

Same for me.

It's back online.

How can i make a backup of my byteball funds? I couldn´t find any button for a storage or a copy!

[jwinterm]

I paid a small amount of bitcoin using the address given by the transition bot. The bot is showing that there is a 0 balance at the address, which probably happened because I was sending other payments at the time. I am sure that my bitcoin is now at that address.

Will the bot recheck the address when the next launch is due? Or do I need to restart the process?

You probably emptied the address and had the big chunk come back as change to a different address. Check the TX on a block explorer.

No conversation too

short answer, i know anybody described it but couldn´t find post.

I just want to know if the bot will check the address again in the future, because the latest it has shown me is the 0 balance.

Yes it does. Sometimes, the bot goes off-line and Tony's intervention is needed to put it back on-line. It is responding right now.

Back up your seed: Device Settings > Backup, and your data directory, check here https://github.com/byteball/byteball#byteball-backups-and-recovery for the location depending on your operating system.

It looks like it would be very useful to add "Backup wallet" button (or menu item) in Byteball wallet GUI... That could help people and reduce the number of questions on this. In any case, having a explicit backup functionality is a nice feature.

I would love to do that myself, but Javascript is not one of my best languages unfortunately... Is there anybody playing with BB wallet sources already, or tonych is still the only developer working on this project currently? It would be nice if somebody else could  implement this, so tonych could concentrate on core tasks... I see a lot of people here: https://github.com/byteball/byteball/network/members, but not sure how much they are involved.

I participated in the first distribution. For the second distribution, do I need to do the link again if my btc are still in the same address?

[amacar1]

No, you don't have to link again your BTC account.

[CryptKeeper]

Do all existing byteball addresses will be granted bytes in the second round or we have to register them somewhere?

All bytes in your wallet at time of the snapshot will receive new bytes and blackbytes, you don't need to register them. Registering is only for linking BTC addresses.

I must correct myself here!  

To receive new blackbytes, you have to send your bytes to your own address the transition bot tells you. This is a technical necessity and can't be avoided to receive blackbytes. For new bytes you must do nothing, it's only necessary if you want to receive blackbytes! (who would not?  )

[strasboug]

For second distribution, do we need to "register" our byte address at all? or all the outstanding byte addresses will be used for distributions? I ask this because some (though small number as byteball is new) addresses may be dead addresses (lost, deleted etc).

I linked all altcoin addresses, literally all of them. Whats good about it is that I will get BALLS coming not only to my btc addy but also to each and every altcoin addy I control.

Yes you need to "register" your address to get blackbytes, but if you only want byteballs you don't need to "register" your address. All byteball addresses will be included in the second distribution and get extra byteballs without "registering". However to get extra blackbytes you need to "register".

To receive new blackbytes, you have to send your bytes to your own address the transition bot tells you. This is a technical necessity and can't be avoided to receive blackbytes. For new bytes you must do nothing, it's only necessary if you want to receive blackbytes! (who would not?  )

  Borrowed wife's K7 (phone) because my S3 was not supported. Sent the required minimum BTC using a Coinomi wallet. Received the Byteball fractional amount and wrote the 12 passphrase on paper. When I gave her back her phone, she spitefully deleted the ByteBall app before her next argument with me! When she took a nap I grabbed her K7 and re-downloaded the ByteBall app but cannot find a restore function. Nice one!

how about list this on more exchange platform?

like bittrex or poloniex?

Not sure I understand it, if I receive byte and blackbyte in the first round, why I can't be sent the two on the second round? Why I need to "register" my address? If let's say I did not move the byte and blackbyte received.

Good idea, the more exchanges, the more exposure, this coin is the most innovative after Ethereum platform, but the market cap is still small now. If it can be listed on more exchanges, the price will go up significantly. Look IOTA, it is also not on any big exchanges, that is vapor power right now. Don't learn IOTA.

What is needed to receive blackbytes are your BB address and your device address, this one is only known for linked (registered) BB addresses. So if all your bytes are available on linked BB addresses, then you don't have to do anything. If you have bytes on not linked BB addresses, then to receive blackbytes (for the bytes you'll receive in the second round), either link those addresses or move their bytes to your linked addresses.

If the bytes are on the addresses you linked in the first round, then you have nothing to do. To be sure, ask the bot and check the addresses it replies and their balances.

Haha....Regarding your alt addy's, I suspect you're just f'ing around with the newbs. Unless I've completely missed something, linking alt addresses is not part of the distro plan and should be avoided. Afaik, only BTC addresses are valid for linking.
