Today we are releasing version 1.5 of Byteball wallet, which includes bound payments.

so rigth now dev is typing a post about the new wallet.  

[tonych]

Version 1.5 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

It's the biggest update since the launch.  It enables conditional payments, which allow you to P2P exchange bytes vs blackbytes since today.  Much more in the next releases.

Read my Medium article about making P2P great again https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-fe9e20546a4a#.i6kj1ug99

Note that to bind your payment to a condition you must be connected in chat with the payee and click his address or accept a payment request.

Other updates in this release:
* Fixed frequent disconnects that might affect sync speed
* Small performance optimizations
* Multiple small bugs fixed

Please upgrade.  The wallet might start a bit longer than usual the first time after the upgrade, this is because it needs to upgrade the database, be patient.  

Be prepared for bugs since it is a big update (I guess you are already used to expecting this when you are into something new).

thanks.

are there some coming changes in the further byteballs distributions?

[altcoinrich]

We see the price has been corrected a lot in nowadays, current 6 million market cap is somehow reasonable, previous 9 million was overvalued and a bit high, BB will have third distribution, the price will go lower again, but the total supply increases, so the market cap may go up a little.

^This is an impressive update, byteball now has its own revolutionary P2P exchange technology of two different currency.

Why do we need to keep our linked bitcoins in our wallets and not being able to spending them?

You only need to link your bitcoin exactly at the time of the snapshot, not before or after, but if you miss that exact time, well then you don't get your bytes. It's up to you when you link your address.

[pockets1989]

I have a very good feeling about the future of byteball.  An in-wallet trustless P2P trading option is groundbreaking imo.  Byteball is going to the moon!

Is there a way to convert my full wallet to a light one except creating from scratch and sending coins? It takes about an hour to catch up a week-worth of sync data which is not very convenient.

How often is data on http://transition.byteball.org/ updated?

How often is data on http://transition.byteball.org/ updated?

As far as I know it is automatically being updated whenever there's newly linked btc on the transition page.

Thanks for your update, there will be a distribution phase very soon for third round. I missed the first and second rounds. I have chance to join the third round, I am exciting to be one part of your revolutionary project. Newest algorithm and innovative idea is very cool. It will help bitcoin to be better.

[Spratan]

i am still holding my byteball..

how many byteball will be free giveaways this time?
thank you

The distribution rules are the same as in the second round:

BTC to bytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 62.5 MB (0.0625 GB)
BTC to blackbytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 2.1111 * 62.5 million blackbytes (money supply of blackbytes is 2.1111 times more than that of bytes)
Bytes to bytes: 1 byte on any Byteball address gives you 0.1 new bytes
Bytes to blackbytes: 1 byte on linked Byteball address gives you 0.21111 blackbytes

And blackbytes to blackbytes also ?

No. You'll get free bytes on based of your linked BTC balance & linked byteball address

So there is no incentive at all for blackbytes owners !
Having blackbytes will make you miss every future rounds of distribution.

rtfm.

blackbytes are private, so there is no public way to provide such distribution.

?
I am not saying it is a flaw
I was saying that having blackbytes make people miss 15 rounds of distribution (so no incentive to hold, unlike Byteballs)

Every round need linking address to reciveing byteball?

[connexus]

Every round need linking address to reciveing byteball?

No need if you previously linked your btc addresses, but make sure those have balances.

[no1dead]

Every round need linking address to reciveing byteball?

Positive, in order to get your free byteball, you need to link your bitcoin address to receive byteball. If not the distribution scheme like this, the distribution will be unfair and useless. Every time people need to link them so it is fair for new participants.

[crypt0hash]

Every round need linking address to reciveing byteball?

yes if you move your bitcoins somewhere
no if your bitcoins are at the linked address

You do not need to re-talk has been described previously and I think they're quite understand.. So, think positive in using or doing something.
