[cybterpunk]

that's one of the best project.

Is there a market for blackbytes? and is the upgrade mandatory? tks

there is a slack channel for that.

does anybody have a solution for the 5%-synch-stuck problem?
i am using OSX and the newest wallet.
thank you.

Sometimes, it seems stuck, and suddenly jumps to greater percentages. Some other times, after being stuck for a long time, a restart makes the syncing progress bar disappear. I would say that generally, it just seems stuck whereas it actually isn't. The latest release is supposed to speed up things though.

A restart sometimes seems to fix the 5% problem, but it can lead to a 17% or 26% (or whatever) "stuck" problem. It always recovers for me so far, but it can take many hours. I'm using Win 10 64. The newest wallet is getting stuck for me more than the older ones did, for some reason. The new backup feature is nice.

So I saw that the avaliable supply is 117,610 GBYTE. The total supply is 1,000,000. So if there is no POW and No POS and the distribution phases are over how can you get this coin without paying for it?

u can get it by linking ur btc and bb addresses till the next dist phase.

but amount is small compared to previous rounds.

The distribution phases are not nearly over. There will be quite a few more.

long ride to get home, this is good for Byteball value. MAjor exchanges will list Byteball when at least 80% of supply will be distribuited, but it is only my H opinion

I used to have a similar problem that disappeared about 2 byteball updates ago.
Maybe it's not related with what you are seeing, but when it seems that the synchronization is struck, click in another window which is opened in your desktop.
Then click back in byteball wallet window and see if the percentage jumps ahead.
If it jumps then it was not really struck, but simply failing to update the percentage.
When it was happening with me I was running byteball within kde inside whonix/debian virtualbox inside linux.
I haven't installed new byteball version yet to see if the problem's resurfaced.
If you confirm the behaviour I've just described, then I think it'd be related to one of those nasty environment incompatibilities.

Version 1.4 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

It includes:
* Full backup and restore.  The backup file is compressed, encrypted, and compatible with all platforms
* Improved speed of sync
* Multiple bugfixes

Please upgrade.  Android version is already in Google Play.

If you plan to move your wallet to another device using backup/restore, please close the wallet and don't use it on the first device after creating the backup.  Overlapped use of the same keys on multiple devices can lead to multiple issues such as non-delivered blackbytes and lost chat messages.  If what you want is access to the same money from multiple devices, use multisig instead.

I have plans to move my wallet to another device. Do I need to complete a full sync on the new device before restoring from full backup?

Monero got 14 mi , if you hold 500 GBB it like you hold 35,000 Monero

Blackbytes is extremly rare 2.1 mi.

it going to take time for Tonych to get there, but dont know for how long.

Simplicity is beauty.

where can you trade blackbytes?

IMO people should get as much as they could if they look far in the future
you could get for 1:7 or 1:10 if you trade white for black that is alot but no one see it.

https://byteball.slack.com/messages/trading_blackbyte/

right now only this to get blackbytes.

Me too,  I don't give two hoots about bytes. I've amassed 1terabyte of blackbytes it's going to be potential fomo tsunami when blackbyte usage and apps appear.

....When I discussed this in the Byteball thread, the Byteball author Anthony realized there is a problem and started to talk about avoidance of needing to replace witnesses and how to have a community wide vote and other mechanisms for overcoming the inherent flaw (which means really he will end up needing whales same as for DPoS to avoid chaos so then you are right back to centralization and the failure of Bitshares and Steem again).....@tonych

Failure of Bitshares is based on broken promise by lead dev Dan, Bytemaster, now Dantheman. He left Bitshares. After that he start Steem with 80% premined coins.

Hi everybody,

don't you find that byteball is way to expensive? Not as expensive as Zcash, but quite expensive. Do you think that the price will go up at the begining? I think that there is no place to multiply an investment.

[tricass]

how do i change the btc address linked to an existing byteball address i used in the 2nd distribution? my coins have moved to a new address i would rather just sign a message when participating in the 3rd round.

You're absolutely right. I also think that when 80% coins are distributed then Poloneix will list it on its platform

You can't change a linked address, but you can add a new Bitcoin one linked to the same Byteball address. To link a specific Byteball address to a specific Bitcoin address, chat with the bot, enter your BB address, then your BTC address, the bot will wait for the signature, once you enter it, it should be okay. Chat with the bot again to see if it lists your new links and verify it on transition.byteball.org.

No, you don't, you can move it half-synced.
