Hello, I'm new here.
Tired of replying to everyone on 4chan when advertising this, I decided to create a small tutorial.
Also since the air drop is approaching, I thought it would help as many people as possible.
I hope I didn't break any rule! (The formatting looks better on the website)
https://byteballblog.wordpress.com/I will also post the content here of course:
How to get free ByteballsIf you don’t know what cryptocurrencies are, there are other sources out there. If you do, proceed with the rest of this guide.
What do you mean FREE Byteballs?Byteball is using a very uncommon distribution model. The coins are already pre-mined, and the creator is distributing them in monthly “airdrops”. So everybody can get some byteballs.
Why is the creator giving them away for free?Because the key for a coin to succeed is its distribution. The more people own the coin, the more it is used, and the more successful it becomes.
So why do I care about this particular cryptocurrency?Besides the fact that you can get some for literally free, this coin has some very good technology embedded into the wallet software itself. Here is the whitepaper (
https://byteball.org/Byteball.pdf) for the technology used (a long, but good read). Other good stuff about it:
– Conditional payments (pay if certain condition is met)
– P2P payments in chat
– Betting on the market
– Chatbots
– Untraceable currency (black bytes)
– A bunch of other things. (check out their website
https://byteball.org/ )
How many will I receive?– 0.062 GBytes for each 1 BTC
– 0.2 Bytes for each 1 Byte in your wallet
– 0.062 x 2.1111 black bytes for each 1 BTC
– 0.42222 black bytes for each Byte in your wallet
OK, tell me how to get free byteballsThere are 2 ways to get your free byteballs, and you can do both of them.
Depending on how many Bitcoins you own, or depending on how many GBytes (Byteball currency) you own.
1. For both of these ways, you first need to download the wallet from their site
https://byteball.org/#download.
2. Install the wallet. Full or light versions are both ok, but the full version will take longer to sync.
3. Click this link to talk to the transition chatbot (this should open a chat in the byteball wallet)
https://byteballblog.wordpress.com/A2WMb6JEIrMhxVk+I0gIIW1vmM3ToKoLkNF8TqUV5UvX@byteball.org/bb#00004. The chatbot asks you to tell him your byteball address, you can just click on the “…” menu, and insert the address there. Send it to the bot.
5. Now the bot will tell you to SEND BITCOINS TO HIM, don’t do this!, there is a free way to do it.
How to link your Bitcoins:– You need to know which address has your BTC.
– You need to have your BTC in your own wallet, not in an exchange.
– You can’t link your BTC address to more than one byteball address, or that BTC address will get banned.
– You don’t need to send BTC to link it.
– After you do a BTC transfer, your address might change, so make sure everything is correctly setup before the air drop.
1. Find out which address has your BTC (Skip to step 5 if you already know)
2. In the bitcoin core wallet, go to Settings -> Options… -> Wallet, and Enable coin control features
3. Go to the Send tab, and click on “Inputs…”
4. This will show you which address own how much BTC, copy and paste those addresses in a text file somewhere, we will need those.
5. Now you need to tell the bot the address you will link, just paste the BTC address and send it.
6. Now you need to sign a message. In the Bitcoin core wallet, go to File -> Sign message…
7. As address, add the one with your BTC balance (it might not show up in the little contact book icon)
8. For the content of the message, just add your Byteball address (nothing else)
9. Click on “Sign message”
10. Copy and paste that signature into the chat.
11. repeat from step 5 for all the Bitcoin address that have BTC in your wallet.
12. The bot should tell you if it was linked correctly.
13. If you have more problems, the best place to ask is the thread in bitcointalk
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.9160How to get Byteballs for your Byteballs:– (Apparently) You need to link a BTC address, even wit 0 BTC, if you want to receive black bytes.
– After you send Bytes, your address might change, make sure everything is correctly set up before the air drop.
If you have talked to the bot already in the previous steps, just send all your byteballs to your byteball address, that’s it.
To make sure the process is working, and to know how many byteballs and black bytes you will receive, use this website
