If your malicious client downloads a modified DAG from hackers-server, where the DAG says hacker-has so much bytes, any transactions coming from it to the real network will just be trashed as spam, signatures would be invalid, by the rest of the full nodes and witnesses.
Maybe, we have checkpoints in bitcoin code just in case someone with huge computer power will rewrite chain from the start. So, if wallets (nodes) resinc they will not accept non legit blockchain (at least not rewrited from place before checkpoint). Byteball don't have POW, so probably checkpoints or something should be made, since crashed wallet can resinc from SyBill nodes (malicious hacker wallets) and lost legit one DAG forever. Nobody looses legit one DAG forever even in such a scenario. As described earlier, such an attack can be mounted on bitcoin users too, just change the checkpoints in the modified client too to match what the hacker-generated database has. In both cases, to protect yourself, since this is an attack on the user and not on the network/technology, ensure you are on the right network, and the way to do that is to check with various trusted sources, use several smartphones with different ISPs, check your balance on explorers etc. But, Byteball has something more clever than the above. Multi-signatures, just pair your wallet with another device and setup "requires 2 of 2 signatures" to transact or setup 2 of 3 devices. Simple.

As you wish. In byteball users is a network, no third party like miners exists. No one really care, if DAG replaced.

Ok, we can assume you win then. So now you know my point of view, DAG should have checkpoints. I'm not here for dispute gymnastics. Just cleared something for users of such a great software. Javascript is a good programming language too, why not? Good luck.

Desktop wallet running full nodes will take several minutes to an hour, while light wallet will take a few minutes.

It depend on last synch so if you opening your wallet time to time than it would not take so long time to get fully sync to the latest block. I open my wallet after a week and it took only 3 minutes.

to everyone who wants to link an address using the ledger wallet. the bot did not accept the sig the wallet made. now i found out why. the fist line of the Signature is the BTC address you used to sign. just copy the rest. then it works. -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- Dont copy this line, this is just the BTC address. H3Q..... this is the sig, the bot needs. -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi DEV: How do I will be a full version of the wallet, converted to light wallet, and keep the original receipt address remains the same. In light wallet, I use the restore function, the results of this light wallet into a full version.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but I'd better make sure.
Are linkings between byteball and btc addresses permanent throughout all the distributions?
What I mean is, I participated in the match distribution and my bitcoins will not be moving until the next one.
Do I need to chat with the bot again, or are the linkings still valid?
Also, this byteball addresses which I linked to btc ones were previously empty and now have my distribution coins.
Do I need to do something for them to receive the 10%? Like another type of linking, irrespective of btc?
Chat with the bot, and you'll get answers to your questions. All I had to do was say hi and it gave me an exact answer to the above questions. I didn't even have to ask. Spoooooky !!

You can't switch wallet types and keep your addresses. You can only change wallet types with a new install (make sure your delete the user folder first)! But only with an empty wallet, because all bytes and blackbytes will get lost this way!

But you will loose all blackbytes and linked wallets this way!Maybe you can move your blackbytes temporarily on another device and then back from there?
