Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[D3m0nKinGx]

Are there some kind of estimates, that how many distribution rounds are expected? Calculations, guesses, anything?

maybe helpful:
..

Would be nice for a chart showing blackbytes too

Perhaps I supplement that still - have time lack 

The amount of backbytes is about twice as large (bytes 1E15 to Blackbytes 2.1E15) as the bytes. The distribution is proportional to the bytes.
If blackbytes can not be distributed because not all participants have their bytes on linked addresses, then these blackbytes will be part of the Byteball Community Fund.
Ergo reduces the amount of blackbytes proportional to the number of bytes.
So you can simply ~double the absolute values and the percentage values remain constant, then you have the statistics for the blackbytes.

Yep I know, I mentioned it cause some ppl understand things easier with a visual, not all of us are math wizards

Is there currently a decentralized byteball to blackbyte exchange on top of byteball? If not is one planned?

Yes, it's in the client, run by a chatbot, you can find more details here: https://byteball.org/

It might be down for maintenance

With my regular Account, I cannot load the blockchain. I'm using a backup, several month old for continuing download. After a certain percent, I always get an error. When starting Byteball Wallet (Windows), the same error is present, does not go away. I tried a few times with starting point from backup, always same result.

Now I'm downloading the blockchain with a new account. Plan is to transfer everything to the new account. (Not sure if this works properly, since amount is not displayed from date of today, not including new bytes)


Any other Ideas?

Is it possible to re-trigger/rest the complete blockchain? I did not found anything if it is possible.

What may happens with the Blackbytes?

Is it possible to "pre-download" the full blockchain?

what about a tutorial for Ledger Wallet (HW.1, Nano), anyone?

Unfortunately, it is not possible yet to sign a message with a Ledger Wallet and its Chrome app
The "sign a message" feature is in development (roadmap: https://trello.com/c/xMK8hj9r)

It's possible since you can use your Ledger Nano - (or Nano S) with Electrum.

I've made a tutorial for Ledger Nano S with Electrum
Please send me your feedback


Tutorial: linking Ledger wallet Nano S to Byteball account via signing a message with Electrum

Step 1: Install and configure Electrum wallet

- Download and install latest version of Electrum:  electrum.org/#download
- Select Standard wallet



- Connect your Nano S to your computer, enter the PIN and select the Bitcoin app
- Then select "Use a hardware device"



- Your Nano S is detected



- Press Next, and select your Account Number. If you are not sure, leave the field with 0, otherwise enter the index of the account you want to import.



- Click on Next, and Electrum will sync your account. Depending on your connection and the server, it may take from a few minutes to half an hour.
- Once the sync process is finished, you can use Electrum normally.


Step 2: Get a NEW bitcoin address

On Electrum:
- Click on "Receive" tab
- Copy your "Receiving address"




Step 3: Move your bitcoins to your NEW address

On Electrum:
- Click on "Send" tab
- Paste your receiving address (from step 2) into "Pay to" field



- Enter the amount you want to transfer (you can send the maximum possible amount by pressing the "Max" button)
- Select the Fee amount
- Click on "Send"
- Validate the transaction on your device (Nano S)




Step 4: Install and launch Byteball wallet

- Download Byteball wallet from byteball.org (make sure it is the LIVENET version)
- Install Byteball wallet
- Open Byteball wallet
- Click on the link provided by byteball.org to launch the Transition Bot




- Click on "Insert my address" then on "Send"
- Enter your bitcoin address (the one from Step 2) and click on "Send"




Step 5: Sign a message (your Byteball address) with your Bitcoin address

On Electrum:
- Click on "Tools" --> "Sign/verify message"



- Paste your Byteball address (from step 4) into the "Message" field
- Paste your Bitcoin address (from step 2) into the "Address" field
- Click on "Sign"



- Validate the signature on your device (Nano S)
- The signature should now appear on the "Signature" field, copy it


Step 6: Link your Byteball address with your bitcoin address

- In Byteball wallet, paste the signature (from step 5) and click on "Send"
- You should get a confirmation from the Transition Bot with your current balance on your bitcoin address



Note: If you spend some of your bitcoins, you will have to repeat Step 3, so that your bitcoins are always on the linked bitcoin address

Hello, when trying this and getting to the step where I sign my byteball address with my electrum wallet. When I try to validate the signing (it says to remove and replace the ledger wallet and it will come back as a keyboard and type something in a note pad, but this does not happen, on either of my computers). Secondly, when I try to sign any message, it says that "unfortunately this message can not be signed with ledger wallet. Only 140 alphanumerical characters are allowed, please delete all tabs, spaces ,etc and retry" but there is no special characters.

I've even tried signing the message "hello" with the same issues. Whats going on here?

Thank you.

Also, I can't verify by sending from address because my ledger wallet chaanges addresses with each send, even though I have it checked off on electrum.

Thank you.

Thanks for the instructions!

Has someone tried this who can confirm that it works?
Cheers

I have a serious problem using Byteball today.
There are two multidevice wallets. Their balances were the same initially, but now they are not. And the total amount of bytes at all addresses is not equal to the wallet balance. That's true for both wallets. Wallets have just the same list of addresses, but the balance at the same address differs from each other: one wallet shows, say, zero, the other - another sum. Anybody faced this problem? How to solve?

I had similar problem when one of my mobile wallet was out of sync, and could not sync for quite a long time for some reason. After it synced, balance became the same as explorer.bytball.org and desktop wallet show. If your wallet can't sync, you may try to used some other hub instead of default.

Yes that works - I've made it this way, but I used micropayment.
Linking by sign a message should also work, but note the recommendation of vlom (sign message with ledger nano s):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg18260584#msg18260584
Please give feedback!

If you made any transaktion after consolidation "address change" will happen !! and your BTC jump from the linked address to another address!
But this will happen with every wallet - no special problem with the Nano s

solution:
4-5 hours before the snapshot (note BTC transaktions can be slow), consolidate all your BTC on the linked address,
and do not make any transactions ! until about one hour after the snapshot
alternative
link all your BTC addresses

I signed a message with my nano   's and didn't need electrum or a micropayment. the instructions were buried in this very thread.

byteball will worth 100M soon.

I hope so it has potential price is very stable and rising steady. I am holding my coin to get more in every distribution just for staking I like the concept and this will be more worthy in coming days.

Absolutely agree, the ONLY thing that concerns me is price stability after the airdrops end.  It will need some utility traction before then or I fear MASS dumping.
