Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[Karartma1]

I tried engaging the transition bot and it just echos whatever I say. Does that mean I'm too late? Or that the bot is temporarily offline?

yes, that means you were late for the fourth round. The transition bot will be up and running again for the fifth distribution which will take place in May

[Dlugina23]

Confirmed  received byteball from last round.

[francism]

I still haven't recieved any blackbytes

I've read somewhere that you have to be paired in chat with the Transition bot.
Do you?

P.S. Nice price recovery, by the way.. byteball grows smooth and steady
Waiting for update of the "Circulating Supply" number on CoinMarketCap

The progressive distribution was a smart decision, byteball has plenty of room for growth as it develops.

I wanted to make a wallet full backup further to blackbytes arrival but wallet says that export is impossible with no futher details (wallet v1.7.0 on Windows 10 with plenty room on my DD).

I was able to make full backups when I had no blackbytes in my wallet.

Wallet backup is the only way to save blackbytes.

Anyone else in this situation ? Please give a try.

I did receive bytes, but no blackbytes. I was under the impression it would be included after claiming bytes. Did I have to make a separate claim for the blackbytes?

From https://byteball.org/ :

In the 4th round, which is scheduled for the full moon of April (April 11, 2017 at 06:08 UTC), we'll distribute 62.5 MB for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.1 new byte for each 1 byte you already hold. To participate, install the wallet and chat with the Transition Bot that will help you link your Bitcoin and Byteball addresses.

Maybe I missed the part where I should also link blackbytes addresses? How do I do this for the next round?

The transition bot tells you how many bytes you have on each linked Byte address. If it's not your complete balance, simply send your bytes to this address.

This doesn't answer my question about why I didn't receive any airdropped blackbytes.

This doesn't answer my question about why I didn't receive any airdropped blackbytes.

You are supposed to receive blackbytes according to the bytes you receive depending on bitcoins on your linked BTC address and/or bytes on your linked Byteball address.

Did you have positive balances on your linked BTC address(es) and/or you Byteball linked address(es)?

On a side note, there has been cases where Tony had to re-send blackbytes to some addresses that didn't receive them during the distribution, before you contact him, let's make sure that everything was set up as it should have.

[andrew24p]

If we received bytes this time around do we need to sign up for the next distribution or will it automatically send them from now on, (as long as the address we linked still has funds in it.)

For the time being, linked addresses stay linked forever, so no further linking is required for subsequent rounds (if you want to use the same addresses), just make sure your funds are on linked addresses before the next snapshots.

I have a BIG problem , v. 1.70 on win 10 x64 last update no have backup :



Any help ? .

In that case I should have received blackbytes too.

Did you have positive balances on your linked BTC address(es) and/or you Byteball linked address(es)?

Yes. That's why I did receive Bytes, but no Blackbytes.

On a side note, there has been cases where Tony had to re-send blackbytes to some addresses that didn't receive them during the distribution, before you contact him, let's make sure that everything was set up as it should have.

In this case, I think something went wrong.

[pwpwpw]

when trying to make a full back with password, twice failed, then closed chrome (was using about 80% of my ram), then it succeeded, is there a connection or why does the backup fail sometimes?

[Xeelee]

Are there any figures available what amount was distributed overall?

Any help ? .

I have the exact same problem. Didn't have a chance to backup since receiving the black bytes from round 4...

[D3m0nKinGx]

Are there any figures available what amount was distributed overall?

Total balance linked: 145164.13818055 BTC
Transition rate: 0.0625 gigabyte/BTC

For linked BTC:  9072 Gbytes were distributed

Not sure how many were distributed for the wallets that already have bytes in them which the calculation is 0.1 byte per 1 byte.

Do you have the Transition bot as paired device in the chat?

I have the Transition Bot in my chat, I'm not sure what "paired device" means exactly.

My view on the subject (@ kaicrypzen Is this view correct?)

The Bytes Balance  is “visible” for tony (address <-> Byte-Balance). It’s similar to the Bitcoin-network – low privacy and easy to trace.
Tony distribute (Byte to Byte ratio 1:0.1) “simple” to every Byte address with a balance in the BB-network.
So, you can buy bytes and get new bytes with each distribution round - without any further action.
It is not mandatory to have a linked pair (BB Address <-> BTC address) to receive Bytes.

Blackbytes are invisible for the BB-network (private currency).
See OP:.. Payments in private assets (like Blackbytes) are not published to the public database.  Instead, only the hash of the transaction is stored to the database, ..” … and with Tor they become untraceable. It is therefore not technically possible to distribute them like bytes.
To receive blackbytes, you must have at least one connected address pair  (BB address <-> BTC address). It does not matter if the BTC address has no balance.  

This address (BB address <-> BTC address) is your linked BB address (bot tells you), where you have to consolidate your bytes. You can link different BTC-addresses to different BB addresses:
Pair 1 (BB address 1 <-> BTC address 1) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 1
Pair 2 (BB address 2 <-> BTC address 2) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 2
Pair 3 (BB address 3 <-> BTC address 3) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 3
….

Or you can link different BTC-addresses to one BB addresse:
Pair 1  (BB address  0 <-> BTC address 1 ) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 0
Pair 2  (BB address  0 <-> BTC address 2 ) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 0
Pair 3  (BB address  0 <-> BTC address 3 ) you will receive Blackbytes for the Balance at BB address 0
…
BB address XXXX (no linked BTC address) you will receive Byte but no Blackbytes

Note: If you consolidate your bytes to a linked BB-address, make sure you are not running any transactions after that.
In this case the Bytes will jump to another (maybe) not linked address...( similar  BTC-wallet see: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change ).
