Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[julian071]

I'm apparently an idiot, I can't get it to work.

a) Only P2PKH addresses are supported

is the error I get when I add my electrum address to the chatbot

b) in Electrum, when I try to sign the address, no signature is generated. Using 2.7.12

c) I thought I'd just pay, but it wasn't accepted as it is a dust payment...

I just used the adress listed (I only use one) in the Adresses tab.

Then I went to the Adresses tab in Electrum, right clicked my adress, then Sign/Verify Message, filled in my Byteball address as the message, clicked Sign, then copy/pasted the signature to the bot.

No... I've more or less 25 linked addresses... so... I don't think that it means 16000 people... but despite this I think it is a hugh bunch of people

Plus, what's stopping anyone from transferring their BTC to a new address and re-entering for a second round after they receive some Byteball?

Hi there,

Recently, we have published an article talking about Byteball: http://www.crypto-economy.net/byteball-the-dag-revolution-and-its-free-distribution/?lang=en

We hope you find it useful

Regards  

Tweeted! Thanks!

Blackbytes are stored locally. You have to copy to the config folder of the computer with blackbytes to the other one, then you have blackbytes on both.

Btw: Less then 24hrs to airdrop! Go Byteball!

A bit related, but does the full backup option save the black bytes too?
If I do a full backup, then get more black bytes, but don't update my backup, are my black bytes still there?
Do I have to keep an updated backup somehow?

Yes, everytime you get new blackbytes you have to backup.

No need to transfer, just keep it on the same address, it stays linked forever.

One question...

I have two computer and I share one byteball account in both computers... I can share my Gb without problem but I can't see my blackbites... I have an amount of blackbites in one computer but the same account in the other computer said that I have 0 Blackbites...

Any ideas?

PS: I have the latest Byteball wallet installed.

Running multiple identical wallets from a backup can lead to data corruption and loss of coins!
If you restore from a wallet to a new device you better stop using the old one.

Hi guys, for the air drop, once the txn is signed and entered, thats it rite ?

Now to just wait for it ?

You can check that it worked here:
https://byteball.fr/BBdistribution.php
(it will also tell you exactly how much you'll get)

if it didn't work, check the steps again. I made a small guide here:
byteballblog.wordpress.com

Sooper thank yoo!! cant wait to play wth blackbytes!

Btw, how do we convert black bytes to bytes? What is the value of 1 blck byte?

All of my Bitcoin addresses start with a 3 and apparently can't be signed, or added to the Chatbot.
I'm not too keen to make a new address and send everything there, my coins seem nice and safe where theý are now.

No idea why my addresses are like they are, or why they can't be accepted. Typical.

Its because coins starting from 3 are vanity addresses...

but you can easily create a electrum wallet move it there, just depends on if you want it or not, no pressure = ) )))

[NUFCrichard]

Actually I have found out why, I always set up my Electrum as 2FA wallets, that means that they are Multisig and start with 3.
I have a vanity address that starts with 1, but I dont trust that enough as I generated it online.

I have made a new Electrum wallet without 2FA, I might move my coins their, now sure yet.

Bitcoin addresses starting with 3 are script-hash addresses, see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pay_to_script_hash.

Usually this kind of addresses is used for multi-signature.

Move them, sign, wait 24h - the next snapshot block is mined then. Move your coins back, enjoy Bytes and Blackbytes.

[ecoin_org]

What happens when the byteballs run dry?  I know they said 2% will be held back, is there going to be a mining process or will mining completely rely on transactions taking place?  Anyone starting a poker room for blackbytes? Or maybe Nitrogen Sports can launch a black bytes betting market??

[dvvwv]

Does anybody know how to install byteball on ubuntu??  

1. Download app for Linux
2. Extract
3. open terminal in extracted folder byteball-linux64
4. in terminal run command ./Byteball
5. installation GUI will pop up
6. Accept terms
7. Choose lightweight or full node (I recommend lightweight)
8. Done

I got to 4 but when I type ./Byteball nothing happens. No errors, just nothing. Can anyone help?

[davidoski]

Let me see a screen of your terminal after you try to hit ./Byteball command.

Triff ..

So the number of linked BTC has approximately doubled from the 5th distribution then? Is there a way to see amount linked for each distribution?

[Sir Lagsalot]

After I've linked my BTC addresses but before the drop, can I move those BTC to a new address without losing the bytes?

[bitserve]

No. You need to have the BTC in place (in linked addresses) until after the airdrop. After that you can move them freely.
