Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[escapefrom3dom]

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.

check ur local date/time settings.

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,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg17967162#msg17967162
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..

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?
...

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.

the problem is gone after update to 1.6 version.

thanks tonych.

p.s. there is a delay (u can't see the balance) during the first start so just be cool and wait.

Are Byteball smart contracts based on SQL?

Updated to version 1.6, without problems. Good work.

Please label with version number:

(1) download link at byteball.org

(2) downloaded exe file

Right now the only way to determine GBYTE version number is to install. Thanks

Another great update, tonych!

So, oracles are third party libraries that can be added to Byteball in order to read specific public available data like altcoin nodes to check payments and write to Byteballs database, right?
Is a programming reference available about how to create an oracle ?
Found in the github repository.

Found in the github repository.

They are standalone programs rather than libraries.
The oracle's job consists of two steps:
- read data from an external source
- post it into Byteball as data feed message
The simplest example is here https://github.com/byteball/byteball-data-feed/blob/master/start.js.  It posts price data from yahoo finance and btc-e.

It's interesting and has a wide range application. Finally some crypto with real world application. I'm tired of reading about crypto possibilities like eth smart contracts and never seeing any real world usage. Byteball may finally be a game changer in this respect.

How to access bind payments? I can't see any option for that in send tab:

Wow, decentralised P2P betting, no gimmicks, so many applications from this,

oh! you need to click on a payment request in the private chat after adding others device
