Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[22naru]

It’s my belief that ease of use is the key to adoption of cryptocurrencies by regular users, and we continue to improve it in Byteball.  We already have quite a few services that work in easy to use and lightweight chat interface but, up until now, the chat window itself was not always easy to reach.  Now, chat got its own tab.



Byteball is the only crypto platform so far that has payment and communications functions intertwined, the two functions act together to strengthen each other and create more value than each function taken alone.

Upgrade to the new release 1.1.0 https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases.
Major changes:
* Chat is now reachable through its own tab
* Added ability to select units for blackbytes, such as GBB for gigablackbytes
* When a new version is released, you'll be automatically notified
* When the hub changes its witness list, it will automatically suggest making similar change
* Better alignment, more polished UI (let me know if you notice any imperfections)
* A number of small bugs fixed

You have  great ideeas and you can see very well in crypto future. keep up with good work and lets make byteball used and useful .
cheers for update.

Do the Black bytes play any role in the distribution cycles or is it strictly the white byteballs?

You'll get 2.1111 blackbytes for every byte in your wallet at the time of the snapshot. But you must link your byte address in the transition bot.

What I meant was do you get anything for holding Blackbytes in your wallet at the time of distro?

Thanks,

No, you don't get anything for holding blackbytes.

Sure, because there is no way to know how many black bytes do you have.

That's why its highly recommended to send all byteball (bytes) to the linked address in order to acquire more blackbytes in the next round of distribution.

If Byteballs are kept in the same wallet to which they were originally distributed and the BTC is sent to the same BTC address which was used for the 1st distribution is any further action required or will the 2nd distribution be performed as per the parameters of the 1st distribution?

Any further messaging with the Wallet bot required to participate in the 2nd distro?

Wonderful features, great dev and nice coin. Hope more services will be developed and to see bytes be used in more areas.

Keep on the great work!

thanks for 1.1.0 and a feature request:

I like to keep my cryptocoin data directories on an encrypted drive, so it would be nice if byteball was flexible in where it puts it's data directory.
A start paramater like bitcoin's -datadir=... would be just fine for a start.

same here.
I vote this up 

[szafa]

New version of wallet is relase.

This will be a nice feature.

That is great to know, not like the update wasn't just a few posts up from yours.

[spark.bet]

I am moving to version 1.1
If I do chat -> bot transition I do not have the message with BTC and BB linked.
I am obliged to click on the bot transition link on the site byteball.org to retrieve the message.

Yeah thats nice but I guess you could always crate a symlink from ~/.config/byteball to where you want it to be, until the "feature-request" is fulfilled.

I would recommend this too.
If someone still wants to implement -datadir option, we accept pull requests in our github repo https://github.com/byteball/byteball.

Why limit distribution to bitcoin hodlers?

Admit it, many of us have altcoin portfolios  ...Why not distribute to holders of top 100 coins?

87% dominate Bitcoin against Altcoins! I think, you would hit 100 times the same investors. Big whales in ETH are the same like big whales in XEM or Monero.

So...PLEASE NOOOOOOOO....

Greetz

Exactly.

But to move out of cryptocoins means touching the ugly visa/mastercard if you allow people to "pre-buy" bytes.

Facebook app and/or recaptcha like "work for bytes" incentive could be something to reach audiences outside of cryptocoin forums.

Idea to "work for bytes" is interesting. Anything should ideally be got by proving some work, but not just for free
Moving out of crypto community sounds very good, but would be hard for now. Even in crypto there are so many noobs with all kinds of weird questions.

A have another idea! If we are not afraid of noobs, bytes could be traded for Pokemons, or for proof of Pokemon ownership  

linking with btc is like the "work for bytes" for "work for bytes". linking for dollar would be nicer $$$ at the end of the day i prefer BTC lol


Any time for getting ByteBalls on bittrex, besides c-cex initiative?

On c-cex are 100 coins listed not worth to be together with BB. Its not an Altcoin. Its a protocol standard as ripple, in my eyes.

It is a good idea to connect byteballs receivers with a PoW mechanism. And Btc has a pretty advanced Hashrate
