Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[ttookk]

Why on earth would u choose ubuntu? Unity and ubuntu do suck ass. Havent ever in my life seen an OS uglier than fucking ubuntu.

It feels strange to defend ubuntu (I mostly agree with your view) but I recently started using it myself. Not unity of course, which is thankfully discontinued but lubuntu, which I have on a VM.

The reason is simply support. Whatever wallet I decide to compile or any other linux app will definitely include instructions for a ubuntu LTS. Not debian, not centos, not arch nor any other distro I have used in the past.

Sure in theory we could just install the equivalent packages on the other distro but it's rarely that simple and things often go wrong unless you are an expert and really know what you are doing

I can attest that most support is for Ubuntu. And I think, Ubuntu sucks as well.

But since Ubuntu is Debian based, in my experience, most solutions which apply for Ubuntu apply for other Debian based OS's as well. In fact, in most cases, I first search for "problem x ubuntu", although I use a different Debian based OS.

Byteball will be huge because this technology is the newest one without blockchain, a big boom of innovation. Yeah, moon time.

this is really true
they pumping nonsense coins up to several 10 million dollar. and this one is still so cheap. this is a true technological revolution. when people will realise this we are at min 100 million

Version 1.8.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

Work is progressing very quickly  -> reward of work:

The Transition Bot often doesn't reply to me. I want to link another address, but the Bot gives no response. It used to work if I opened the Transition bot by clicking it on Byteball.org.
Is it offline? Or do I need to do something else?

Edit: it works again

Version 1.8.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

Thanks for the release, it helped my problem, the wallet is syncing now!

I'm having no luck syncing with windows. Can I clear any cache/folders to help? The last few versions haven't been able to fully sync.

[buwaytress]

Just downloaded and installed current version (that's 2 new versions since I joined less than 3 weeks ago!) and I wonder if the latest one syns quicker than before, because it seems to show my balance under 5 seconds after opening (previously it was perhaps a minute even). Not sure if anything to do with the new version updates but loving it!

[hannusolo]

Indeed, it seemed to be faster to me as well, on my older pc with HDD it synced way quicker than before. Of course on my notebook with ssd, it was fast already

I was playing with the chat function (multidevice wallet (2 of 3) two devices @byteball.fr/bb -and replaced witness).
For every paired device it’s possible to change the chat hub independent (on both sides)
The global preferences (setting) does not affect the chat setting.
This allows a lot of combinations.
If both device used global   byteball.fr/bb and both devices used i.e. byteball.org/bb as chat hub. Chat does not work.
Maybe there are other invalid combinations which will not work.. Maybe this is an esoteric problem, but it can be lead very confusing  ..

The hub setting under global preferences is the hub where you receive messages.  Your peers use it to send messages to you.
The hub setting under Chat/Edit is the hub where your peer receives messages.  Your wallet uses it when you message the peer.  Usually you don't need to change it manually unless you learn from the peer through other channels that he changed the hub.

I have not sent any transaction yet but now I tried and any small transaction will move a big portion of the balance to a new wallet, can we link multiple BB wallets (like for BTC signing) for the distribution phase (10% for each BB held) or we do need to send all the BB in one transaction to our original first BB address ?

Has does the Android wallet work I have one but have not used it yet. Addy# has anyone else used it let me know thanks all.

Yes, ease with blockchain software is one good reason, and the second reason is security. Almost all viruses/spyware/etc is targeted towards Windows/Mac. Open source and decentralized is the way!

After encrypting the wallet with spending restriction, the full backup doesn't work anymore, with or without compression it only says backup failed. What should I do ?

[jtalk]

We have less than 3 weeks for next round which is scheduled for 10th of next month. I feel happy to take some from next distribution being fully ready and already let some Bitcoins sit there in wallet to wait for the phase. This coin is one of the top promising one is.

Is it possible to switch from full node to light wallet with Ubuntu?

My wallet is encrypted with a very long passphrase and I'm backing up regularly (after every tx) without facing any problem.
I think uninstalling & then re-installing may solve your issue
Also you must upgrade to latest version 1.8 (if you have older version)

[LoyceV]

No.
You can create a new light wallet (backup the old one first of course!), send your coins from the old wallet to the new one, move your linked Bitcoins to a new address, and link that address to the new Byteball wallet.

You will receive 0.1 new bytes for every 1 byte in your wallet regardless on which address.
For receiving blackbytes as well, you must send your bytes to one of your addresses known to the transition bot. Say 'hi' in the chat box and the bot will tell you which address it knows.

This is a bug which is already known and about to be fixed soon. For now please copy the user data folder manually for a backup.

Byteball uses a single extended private key for all wallets, BIP44 is used for wallet address derivation. There is a BIP39 mnemonic for backing up the wallet key, but it is not enough. Private payments and co-signers of multisig wallets are stored only in the app's data directory, which you have to back up manually:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/byteball
Linux: ~/.config/byteball
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\byteball
