Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

Creating an asset in the testnet

Hi all,

I'm a developer struggling to define a new asset in the testnet

These are the steps I already managed to complete:

• Cloning and running the byteball client locally (from the code)
• Exchanging bytes on the livenet and testnet
• Running the byteball-headless client locally

What I understood from the documentation is that I need to run a command (there is a create_asset.js script in the play directory of headless byteball) in order to create an asset but I got stuck with some errors.

I firstly changed the hub url to the testnet in conf.js:

Code:

exports.hub = 'byteball.org/bb-test';

There seem to be some protocol compatibility problems I can read from the log (though it doesn't stop the client):

SENDING ["justsaying",{"subject":"error","body":"Incompatible versions, mine 1.0, yours 1.0t"}] to wss://byteball.org/bb-test
close event, removing 0: wss://byteball.org/bb-test

I have also encountered a problem pairing my UI client to the headless one, my parallel thread of investigation. The client is operating on the testnet as well and I set up the control_address and payout_address in configuration file (conf.js) as follows (they are the value I read from the UI client);

Code:

"use strict";

//exports.port = 6611;
//exports.myUrl = 'wss://mydomain.com/bb';
exports.bServeAsHub = false;
exports.bLight = false;


exports.storage = 'sqlite';


exports.hub = 'byteball.org/bb-test';
exports.deviceName = 'TestDevice';
exports.permanent_paring_secret = 'randomstring';
exports.control_addresses = ['0W87676ZG4ZT7AY2QX7C7YEJ5CEORIAF2'];
exports.payout_address = 'BKQXMJDKHC5W2JLMQVT2VEHQUC5WADZZ';
exports.KEYS_FILENAME = 'keys.json';

// where logs are written to (absolute path).  Default is log.txt in app data directory
//exports.LOG_FILENAME = '/dev/null';

// this is for runnining RPC service only, see play/rpc_service.js
exports.rpcInterface = '127.0.0.1';
exports.rpcPort = '6332';

console.log('finished headless conf');

But the pairing doesn't occur. when I type the pairing code into the UI I get no complaints, but as soon as I start to type commands in the chat I get this message:

device with this pubkey is not registered here

My wild guess is that my headless client should have been already registered on the testnet at this point but it hasn't done it yet, maybe because of the protocol incompatibility. But it's just a guess.

Finally I tried to create an asset running node play/create_asset.js with poor results:

At the moment I'm stuck. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have the same issue or any clue? I would be thankful if you could give an hint.

Best regards,

Yary

Hi Yary,
Very interesting to see someone experiment with these possibilities. It should be easier to get a helpful reply on the slack,  there is a channel for technical questions. I have no technical insight.

[lyhdoh]

How do I link my btc in my electrum wallet to byteballs? I have already installed the wallet. how do I do it?

[Shiver]

Would it be possible to send transactions to the wallet via Watsapp, LINE etc?

eg "0.347MB@Joey"  ?

[avirdoz]

Is it possible to list blackbytes on exchanges?

[ByteFan]

Is it possible to list blackbytes on exchanges?

No. But you have a channel "trading_blackbytes" on Slack.

BB is the most low key project I have seen so far, no ICO fund, only reserve 1% of total supply, the dev is best one.

*Why I Stopped Using Cryptox.pl and You Should Too*

1. It's unreliable. Their website, bitcoin wallet, and Byteball wallet are all flaky.

I needed to sell some bytes for bitcoin one day and my deposit never showed up the entire day. So, essentially my coins were lost when I needed them the most. Of course the price also went down during that time, screwing me more. I contacted @grzem and he was just a total jerk, acting like what happened didn't matter, "and just wait longer" he said.

2. They're greedy. Less than .01 BTC (~$20) is considered dust and will be taken from you if it happens to hit your Cryptox account.

Bitcoin fees are getting crazy and everyone knows it (almost $2 now). So, I was using my Cryptox BTC address as the payout address from the Byteball chatbot exchange. So, when I sold bytes, the BTC would be sent directly to my Cryptox account, and I could buy more bytes. But on the chatbot, you don't control how much someone buys from your order, so small BTC transactions come out occasionally.

This morning I received some hostile emails from Cryptox staff, prolly grzem himself.

I asked for a URL link to their Terms of Service because I could not find it. They sent me a 1 word reply, "Information." Basically, their crappy site doesn't even have URL's so he cannot link me to one. Now I see that if you click Information in the sidebar (never even looked here because I was only interested in Byteball) and then Fees, then look at the chart Other Fees you will finally see something about BTC Deposit Minimum Transfer Amount .01.

Wait, what? Why would this be under Fees???

3. Now there are better, more trustworthy exchanges to trade bytes.

I'm going to switch to Bittrex and Cryptopia.

4. Did I mention Cryptox staff are jerks?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I bought the majority of my BB holdings (at 50$ range) from cryptox.pl, so I am thankful for their existence. Now that I have accumulated enough I couldn't care less if they disappeared and yes I also had troubles with that exchange.

[favdesu]

byteball holders get double in the next round, very good news

[memii]

I have gut feeling that Byteball is going to become important player on blockchain based project in future. I didn't sell not a single byte received during last couple of months. At these high price can't afford to buy but still will keep receiving by holding and linking my bitcoin wallet at the moment. Keep words pushing far guys on social media as well.

I have never had trouble with this exchange and i trade a lot there. Support was allways fast and helpfull. And i get all distributions off  all rounds for all Bytes i have there. Deposits and Withdrawels for BTC and Byteball were allways fast, especially for GBYTE. For me it is a good exchange with no us juristication.

Same here no troubles, deposits/withdrawals were timely and orders processed seemlessly, not sure why you're having an issue. All my bought gbytes were from cryptox, and those orders under 0.13 I'd be scooping them up

I'm using cryptox for a long period when GB price was 0.007 BTC per coin. Didn't face any big troubles. Some little troubles just like as website down   for a while in scheduled maintenance, a bit withdrawal delay etc. These problems are very common in any exchanger. However, I say that cryptox is secured, quite fast & has good support system.

I strated trading on cryptox because of GBYTE, deposits were OK, trading was OK, withdrawals were OK. Never had 1 single problem. The trading platform is not my favorite but it does the work, i'm probably just not used to it.
