Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

It has? Yet when I asked a simply question it got ignored as if I was not serious with my inquiry about the wallet syncing.

Most of people here are traders, they don't know such things. I suggest you not to stop the syncing, I did it and was stuck in endless DB compacting loop.

Ah okay. Did not realize almost all people who collect byteball here are traders and do not have the time nor the know how on what they actually did when they installed the wallet months ago. Which would of taken no time at all to sync since it just started in November 2016 from when I recall seeing it advertised in a signature campaign for the first time.
I will take your advice and not stop it because then I would end up with the same problem and the five days of endlessly syncing would be for nothing.

Thanks for the valuable information about this.
Since I wasted alot of electricity and also warring out my hard drive read and write times doing this syncing process.

Are you using the light wallet? Syncing takes milliseconds

Obviously not if I am going on day five of trying to get this complete.
It seems to be half way there so I have another five days+ of straight syncing of the entire wallet's blockchain to go.

Hop into the slack for questions. They are super available for support. Seriously. There is almost always more than one person online.

I think most people are using the default "light wallet" option. There's no need to sync the DAG if you use the light wallet.

You will find it goes a lot faster if you put the config folder into a memory-backed device when doing large syncs. On Linux I use a tmpfs device. I don't know what the equivalent would be on other operating systems.

I using a laptop and it is windows10.
So I do not know what you exactly mean by memory-back device.
If you mean by a external HD enclosure.
No. I am not using this.
It is all on my laptop.

But yes. I will join the slack channel as someone has described if this whole sync does not work after 10 days of running non stop.

Thanks to all for the help.

So the byteball community does give a hand of their fellow byteballers after all!

Good to know! And thank you fellow Dooglus on the advice!

Noobs dumping gbytes. No one serious will dump at this price.

The lower the dump - the higher the pump.

Many people have problems with restoring byteball backups sized > 4gb. I just build the wallet with patch provided in github https://github.com/byteball/byteball/pull/164. I think it will be preffered to transfer your funds to exchange and wait for the next stable version from Tony. And only then transfer it back. That because your backup may corrupt due to database migration. Enjoy it.

macOS 1.9.1 unofficial fix: "https://mega.nz/#!UPhHgCTR!YAEorVP0MVCF3N5wld3u6jb7j94MJSQeRuMtm994XHA" (copy all between "" and paste in the browser).

How many people will use a fix published by a random dude with no posts history? Ever thought of that?

Haha. at your peril dude.

P.S. You can patch your installed Byteball.app by yourself. Just replace the "unzip" library in the "node_modules" to that "https://github.com/byteball/unzip". The repo is official and is supported by Tony.

Thanks.

Does anybody know how to get your private key from Byteball lite wallet?

[westhafen]

1 BTC of proven balance gives you 62.5 MB (0.0625 GB)

1 BTC on which chain?

you dream

[Come-from-Beyond]

you dream

It's an unique opportunity to get my bitcoins doubled, I hope it won't be just a dream.

I could help you, but you have an attitude problem so I won't bother...

Double the coins, less than half the value. More like a nightmare.

But you're probably just kidding anyway

It doesn't really matter for me. I am going to sit tight with bitcoins on both chains, if a fork does occur.
So which ever chain the distributors pick, I am going to get my GB.

[AltcoinAuthority]

It doesn’t look like there was that much of a change from the distribution round. The guys that received the coins through the distribution prolly sold all their coins already so I am pretty sure that we can just move forward with the price for Byteball.

Byteball will get a price even more than it’s at right now since there’s large investors interested in the project and what it’s doing for the people that are holding Bitcoins.

What is this 'light wallet' option?

What is this 'light wallet' option?

When you install it gives you the option to do one of two things:
1. Install the entire wallet - the one I am doing and it is halfway done now.
2. Lightwallet - which it allows you to just download those latest of the recent blocks of the byteball chain.

The second option is there to get you up and running within a matter of minutes instead of a couple of hours it warns you about before the installation of the secondary option for the wallet.
The syncing of the wallet takes the longest time.
Just imagine trying to download and sync the bitcoin core qt as of now over the 8 years it has been running.
I did not think this one would take so long but oh well.
Might as wait and let it finish since I got to it this far already.

Just hope there is a bright and golden light at the end of the rainbow after this is done and finished syncing.
Is all I am asking for now.

Received my Blackbytes yesterday, thanks guys


Looking fwd. to the next distribution and will buy some more GBYTE next days

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Actually, distribution of byteballs in first 10 days of august sounds not very good.
I mean that possible blockchain split of BTC on 1st August. IMO better stay in fiat for these days.

Of course you can, no need to take part in the distribution but you could also hold GBYTE instead of BTC

Not efficient. You might get double reward during the airdrop by knowing the chain in advance and selling BTC on one chain for BTC on another.

Why do you think you would get double reward then? at the same time you would be just long one of both...
