Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[kola-schaar]

i think he's referring to the coin overall. in which case someone better qualified than me will have to answer it.

what do you mean overall?  GB + GBB?

i just edited my previous response after i realized that i basically agreed with coinmenace's assessment  

i presume the question is - how does this coin  work?
..

In this case it is probably the best to read the whitepaper: clear information first hand.
If one does not understand something, it is possible to ask focussed questions (slack: http://slack.byteball.org).

in the next few days, we will see spikes in the price of GBYTE leading to the next airdrop. but with that much new GBYTE going into circulation, expect another drop in price after the airdrop.

I think this pattern has happened before.

[kola-schaar]

how do you associate a new or specific Byteball address with the Blackbyte distribution?

or are you stuck with the default?

Copy and paste - the bot accepts the address (just like a BTC address), followed by the usual dialog

To find your BB-adresses with balance:
use cogwheel (next to the wallet name) -> advanced -> wallet information -> scroll down -> balance by adresses

UPDATE :

899055 BTC linked  which will bring approx. : 56,190 gb

and we have 365,903gb in circulation which will bring : 73,180 gb more after airdrop

So

 365,903+73,180+56,266= 495,273 Gb in total in circulation after give away.

That's 50% of all gbytes.

Yes i think in this rate we will have 3 more airdrops.

Distribution :   0.0625 Gb for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.2 new byte for each 1 byte you already hold.
                        131.94375 MBB for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.42222 new Bbyte for each 1 byte you already hold (on linked addresses only).

when i copy and paste my byte ball address it asks me sign a btc address to is as per the documentation.

so it does not re assign the black bytes address

Version 1.10.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

* Redesigned two pages used to create smart contracts: bind payment and offer contract.  Now they look more like contract prose rather than web forms.  They also reduce manual entry and validate input for a few known oracles (validation is not perfect but prevents the most obvious mistakes).

Thanks for upgrade. Looks more natural for user that previos design. Any action to promote Byteball platform to online and offline stores?

[bcsuisse]

well lets see how far the byteball price goes until the sharedrop ; I expect it to go up to 670usd.

It appears the "new" entrant, BCC (BCH), beat it to that price on Bittrex.

BCC    0.25000000 (8233.31%) $683.499500    (Bittrex)
GBYTE    0.19350117 (16.88%) $529.031812    (Bittrex)

Hi guys, i have a small problem which i hope you can help me out to solve. I had blackbytes on my windows computer. I recently swap to linux operating system but i also got a back up of my wallet before doing that. I did restore it now, but all i see is a 0 balance on my wallet. Did i loose all my blackbytes? Your help will be appreciated.

When you say backup, do you mean a copy of the byteball folder or the file made using the full backup option from the Byteball app?

Is there a difference in the end result? Which one is safer/better?

The backup from the full backup option is cross-platform, ie you can make a backup on Windows and restore from it on Linux. However, if you just take the byteball folder from a Windows machine and copy/paste it in the right directory on the Linux machine, it won't work.

Great. Not that I plan on leaving my Windows machine anytime soon but still good to know.

i have a question is Byteball actually directly competing with bitcoin? because the way I see it Byteball is one of the only real alternatives right? and it has many cutting edge features. so if it is HOW will it compete? thanks. i like this ball

[NrX]

After upgrading the newest wallet with more flexible and advanced features and linked back my bitcoins. Now moving towards next distribution which is worth to take some free coins instead of waiting or being busy with other useless coins. I am stocking up more and more after every distribution till end will do.

[jubalix]

does the transition bot send the signed signature anywhere or does it check locally?

BCH doors are closed for normal people. So price is much higher.

Wait and see when flood gate are opened. Dump with smile on the face.

There are two ways to participate in this distribution:
A. You link Bitcoin which you own or borrowed
B. You buy some Bytes (not Blackbytes !) or get them from a third party and have to link them (It is necessary to link the Bytes to receive also Blackbytes).

So there is no need to link an address where only blackbytes are located!
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution, so their price (currently) is much lower.

To link a specific BB-address, send the BB-address to the bot via copy paste, then he will ask for the associated BTC address...
Linkin means to create a pairing from a BTC and one or more BB addresses: BB address <-> BTC address .
Once the BB-address is assigned to any BTC-address (can also be empty) this BB-address is linked.
(It is not about to send  a BB address anywhere or register it somewhere.)

The other way is, simply follow the bot dialog and then consolidate your bytes (not Blackbytes !) on the linked BB address. (The bot tells you the corresponding BB-address)

Summary:
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution.
To link Bytes, you always need also a BTC address (..to make a pairing BB-address<->BTC-adress ...that's what we call linking).
The BTC-address can also be empty, the amounts on the BB address are then taken into account when the blackbytes are distributed (Bytes -> Blackbytes)
The linking of Bytes is only necessary to receive blackbytes as the blackbytes can not be distributed without linking due to their private properties.
If you try to assign a BTC address to several BB addresses, the BTC address is blacklisted.

Oh, that makes sense. The only other coin I've seen go this high in so little time is Coeval and it plummeted, hard.

Wait and see when flood gate are opened. Dump with smile on the face.

My 10K BCC satoshis I'll get from Freebitcoin is hardly worth a dollar so I have a long way to go before I'm able to start dumping with a smile on my face. Good luck to you though  

And good job on keeping track of how many airdrops are left.

[kola-schaar]

When will the next snapshot be taken ?

see countdown  :
https://byteball.org/

[muleroaa]

How many more airdrops are there to come the coming few months?

[European Central Bank]

How many more airdrops are there to come the coming few months?

definitely two more, maybe three. it all depends on how many more bitcoins are linked.

black bytes get ~ 0.4 x B held asfaik

You also receive 0.42222 blackbytes for each 1 byte of your balance on the linked Byteball address, which currently is:
