Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[SatoNatomato]

There's nothing to argue about, time to prove everything, facts prove everything.

Indeed, facts are Byteball is on several exchanges and is in live mode while Iota is still in closed beta-like quality with bigger promises and vapor than all features it has.

IOTA-dev is fearful of Byteball and is in here trolling, lying and FUDding, while Byteball devs are delivering features such as BTC-Oracle.

I am a Byteball user here, already helped solve a small security issue, cheerleading as CfB says, while all IOTA communication channels are censored and dissenting/questioning opinions muted. Here we have open un-moderated thread. Mentions of Byteball in Iota-slack is imminent ban.

Iota only has clueless altcoin "investors" and non-programmer users who dont even understand that IoT and PoW is like oil and water. Especially as they say Iotas PoW is not to mine coins but to protect each node. OMG. Laughable.

Nobody wants you to continue posting your lies and worthless opinions here.

"Nobody" is an exaggeration. I believe those who are interested in knowing how Byteball works would like to see answers on my technical questions. Of course, those who hold coins only to sell them at higher price to newbies feel themselves uncomfortable when valid technical concerns are raised. We can put the questions on hold now but I'll ask them again in the future. Once Byteball gets more exposure in the real world the others will ask them too. These questions come naturally.

I've got two issues right now:
1) I can't access https:// and http:// byteball.org because it is reported as an unsecure connection!
2) When I try to talk to the transition bot to verify my addresses are still linked I get this response in red ("code":"CERT_NOT_YET_VALID"). It seems like my message isn't even send.

You dont have technical questions, you have opinions on Byteball features being overkill.

You dont have valid technical concerns, you have concerns that Byteball is actually better than your own shit Iota coin and want to find flaws. But you fail, instead you only learn everything about Byteball is simpler and better so then you attempt to ragequit.

Byteball is alrady in the real world unlike Iota.

Also nice that  you arent here just to refute my lies as you claimed but its obvious now you change to try to hide your FUD under "concerns".

You should be concerned about your own coin and stick to your own thread.

Weak man, very embarassing, overall very weak troll.

If bitcoin network forks will BB distro be based on XBT or XBU?

The website is running fine: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/Byteball.org

AFAIK the transition bot is not operating between rounds.

I've been taken a closer look into Byteball and have a few questions. Would be grateful if this someone could answer.

1) First question concerns the distribution. Indeed, there are many big stakeholders who have linked their Bitcoisn, such as Lisk ICO account. As I have read, there is an agreement as to when these are held. But what is afterwards? How do you make sure that there is not a big dump after the holding time is over when several ICO accounts sell their byteballs?

2) Where are the chats with other devices and the chatbot stored? Are they stored locally or in DAG? If in the DAG, are they encrypted?

3) There is already a good Android Wallet app. Is also one for iOS planned?

Thanks in advance!

1) 1 ICO already sold their bytes, at the first distribution, the other 2 are basically unknown, they may say some things, 1 of them said they would distribute their bytes among their customers, but what they will actually do is left to see.

2) The chats are encrypted and transported on the Byteball network, relayed by relays, and stored temporarily by hubs, then delivered to wallet. Unkown to me if the messages are in the public DAG, but I doubt it, havent seen any there.

3) The app is made with Node.JS and Cordova which gives it ability to be on iOS too, but Apple may have other opinion.

Bitcoin goes down, do not sell into old Bitcoin

Bitcoin goes down, do not sell into old Bitcoin  

does that mean we should sell into new btc?

maybe    it's your risk, what is the right chain 

[kola-schaar]

btc is falling...

Not surprising,

but the dynamic is already remarkable
The general situation explains this of course.. hmm SMA 200 is still far..let's see how that goes on..

Your question is right but eventually I can guarantee you every thread has strictly the same question : will the whales dump (against me) ?

is anyone getting something like this?

Version 1.6 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases.

Now you can bind payments to events posted by oracles, see https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-episode-ii-bitcoin-exchange-d98adfbde2a5.



One such oracle is already running and allows to P2P exchange bytes (or blackbytes or any other Byteball currency) vs bitcoins.  

The source code of the oracle is at https://github.com/byteball/btc-oracle.

The possibilities offered by the payments bound to oracle-posted events are huge, independent developers are welcome to add their own oracles that enable other P2P services.  See the above Medium article for some ideas.

Other updates in this release:
* Back button in Android now works correctly
* Chinese translation (partial)
* List of balances by addresses in settings (for those who like to look under the hood)
* After receiving a "message encrypted to unknown key" the undecipherable message is now deleted and the error does not pop up the next time
* Performance improvements

The first time you start the app after the upgrade, it may be slow to start as it creates new indexes for better performance.

Please upgrade.  If you run a full client (GUI or headless), you'll have to upgrade because of a bug in code that was never visited before but the first time the new functionality is used will trigger the bug.
