Dear hodlers,

The time has come to put your bytes into real use.

We are launching P2P insurance on smart contracts https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-episode-iv-p2p-insurance-cbbd1e59d527.

Starting today, you can use your bytes to buy or sell insurance against flight delay.
Some of you might be going to fly in the near future.  Buy insurance from peers and get paid if your flight is delayed.  
If you are selling insurance, you have opportunity to make a profit, thus earning interest on your holdings (with correct risk management, of course!).

Before buying/selling, learn stats about your flight to estimate the probability of delay and decide how much you are willing to pay (if buying) or ask (if selling).  Some useful resources:
http://www.flightstats.com
http://flightaware.com/
https://www.flightradar24.com

Then post your offer in #p2p_insurance channel on our slack.

I'm going to fly to Dalaman (Turkey) via Istambul, and to get this market going, I ask you to insure my flights:
TK420 on Apr 30
TK2554 on Apr 30
TK2561 on May 9
TK413 on May 10

I'm willing to pay 10% for insurance against delay of 15 minutes or more, or 5% for insurance against delay of 30 minutes or more (I didn't actually research the stats and don't know how fair these premiums are, but a disbalance of supply and demand will tell me if I'm wrong).  Each flight is a separate contract, and I'll be more than happy to buy from different sellers.

that's a great usecase.

Someone says me how to sign in to my wallet balance after i reinstall windows or i buy a new PC and install on him byteball wallet, how to sign in to my wallet balance

You need to have a backup file from the built-in backup function or a manual copy of the user data folder of your byteball installation.

Make sure you have version 1.8.2 installed and wait until it's fully synced. On a full wallet, this can take several hours.

I've seen some posts requesting the establishment of a dev fund, just for the record, there is a community fund, used to pay for bounties and other expanses (not main devs salaries as far as I know), check out this post for more information https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg18115774#msg18115774. Maybe a link to this post should be added to the first post.

Donations in BTC, bytes and blackbytes plus bytes and blackbytes from each round's distribution plus unclaimed blackbytes. There's a spreadsheet with all the ins and outs, you can find the link in the post.

maybe in the future, we can develop more template?

these smart contact usecase can bring a lot of people into byteball.

all in all, byteball is more scalable than Ethereum in the future

Sweet. My initial post was to get a fund with a little more weight going for long term sustainability.

My position was that I think the community would be ok if Tony put 1% of the supply into the fund purely for non-Tony dev purposes. (As Tony himself has the original 1% reward for building Byteball, which is fair)

As Byteballs value increases this fund would last a long time and help Tony run a top tier team.

I just don't see a dev fund based off of donations being able to pay for top tier contractors over the next 10 years.

Whenever I invest in a coin I try to imagine its staying power, can this coin compete, can it last?

The dev fund is always an important consideration to me.

Yeah basically if you were in every distribution except the first you'd have less than half as much byteball vs if you had gotten in the first round, due to the 10% interest on existing byteball.  Kinda wish the distribution rounds had been more even since this heavily favors the big early players like ICONOMI over people learning about it now.

First you need to find somebody (a person)  to be a party (peer) to your contract. Than you need to pair your device inside wallet with that other person and you can offer a contract via chat. When your peer accepts your contract offer - BOOM! It's done - peer-to-peer contract.

At round 1 10% of all Bytes were distributed and ~ 70k bitcoin were linked.
People got about 1,4GB / linked BTC, approx. 20 times more than now.
