Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[sailthor]

Recently, Bittrex's Byteball wallet was under "automated maintainance". First, two day long.
Then, it was open for half a day and I was able to withdraw some funds.
And since then it is under "automated maintainance" again.
Anybody has an idea what is going on?

I don't think there are special problems with Byteball there, the problems are general about bittrex.....

If you still store funds on bittrex you should really read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954598.0

Also this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2812600.0

There are a lot of unhappy Bittrex users these days. I am was one of them. By extension I am was an unhappy (and unwilling) user of Netverify/Jumio, which seems very buggy. I have no complaints about Tonych's Byteball though.

Edit - if you are finding problems submitting identity documents through Netverify/Jumio for either Byteball itself or for Bittrex, then you may find that using a webcam to take fresh photos is more effective than trying to upload existing photo files, even if the existing files have better quality images. I don't know the reasons, but my experience has been that Netverify/Jumio is buggy handling file uploads, but reliable when it handles live webcam images. Hope this helps someone out there! Oh, and to give Bittrex the benefit of the doubt, their support messages say that they have been swamped with new users, and that things will improve Real Soon Now (my paraphrase). Time will tell.

Edit - update - I eventually got stuck with Bittrex's verification process and submitted a support ticket. Amazingly, I got a reply very quickly (on a Sunday) that resolved my issues.l will give Bittrex another chance as a result.

I think Gbytes are overbought, that is why they don't allow to withdraw. Maybe they do internally marginal trading, who knows. In order to withdraw your capital you need to sell Gbytes and withdraw bitcoin or other crypto. This coin is not well diversify in term of exchages, so manipulate it is very easy. We are in stage of accumulation time.
This is Blockchain 3.0.  =  Byteball

Lol no. Bittrex aren't going to give a single fuck about one coin. Exchanges accumulate so much money they would rather keep their reputation high.

What it could be wrong with Cryptopia? Why their wallet is not broadcasting transactions since December? @tonych will they contacted you for help?
This situation is getting a bit annoying. They don't even answer to tickets anymore

It is a know problem from an unknown cause.

At all: never... NEVER... NEVER! leave your crypto at any exchange unless you are a dayly trader.

Your coins feel much better on your local backuped wallet.

Its almost certainly a wallet upgrade issue - when they upgraded from 1.7 to the current version (with an upgrade in between), it seems they didn't know they had to use an SSD for Syncing. (Just like me.)

See this post on Reddit for more:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7pxko2/gbyte_down_on_cryptopia/

I know, sadly, I know but sometimes one needs to use exchanges. My bad I did that at the wrong time.
On the other hand, my personal light wallet is safe, I have a full backup and I plan not to do anything with my GBYTE before the March Airdrop.
I do hope Cryptopia will solve the issue before then!

I had never problems with cryptox.pl
Why don't you just sell your GByte fot BTC on Cryptopia send them to Cryptox and buy GByte there?

Because it is not possible to do what you suggest.
Cryptopia has frozen all GByte activity until the issue is resolved.

Guys!

2nd part of the Exclusive Interview with the Byteball founder Tony Churyumoff is online:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fau1bg9-jg&list=PLC3RaajtBhlXfj3o44YT-jcLdKtwrCca6&index=2

Pls spread the world and increase the value of your assets.

Thanks! Cool interview, I will post that on my facebook page. We would need more informative videos like this one to make Byteball more and more known.

@tonych

I have been praising the identity verification program and have already referred about 8 new users.

However, the Jumio press release states that a biometric is supposed to be used in which the user must follow an on-screen dot with their eyes:

Secondly, Jumio’s Face Match technology asks the user to submit a live selfie, following an on-screen icon with their eyes as it moves in a random pattern. This dual-layer of security, bolstered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human identity experts, ensures that the user’s selfie matches the photo on their ID document, and that they are physically present at the point of verification.

Is this feature coming? It seems to require deep integration with the host app, which should provide a better user experience in addition to higher quality verifications (and more safety for the distribution fun).

I'm somewhat concerned that someone with a database of ID's and photos could game the referral system.

Byteball is definetely the coin of the future, istant and private. Maybe just fees could be lower or not present (as RaiBlocks). I think the only thing taking it back and discouraging investor is that a single coin costs too much. I know supply is low but newcomers  tend to watch at coin price despite supply.

Fees are required by the network they inherently give the coin value. A byte allows for storage and transaction on the network which is a key part of the overall networks value.

fees are not to high. it's only a small number of bytes, this is nothing.

The price for Byteball has reached its previous value in dollars for the month of July. But as observations show, some projects return to their peak prices in Btc. This is about 0.35 Btc per Byteball. Perhaps we will see this price, the question is only when.

For what it's worth, I just tried participating in the airdrop for BTC owners.

What a pile of crap....
1. tried installing the wallet twice on my Windows 7. All I get is an app window that stays blank.
So the wallet does not work, there is ZERO system requirement on the website. Besides, installer is pretty lengthy & installs a big lot of crap, for an app that is (most likely, guessing by what it installs) a browser in a window, running javascript crap. As a programmer I wouldn't trust that.

2. gave a chance to the phone app, even though I normally don't trust my phone for anything serious. Had to type in my lengthy BTC address, because of course the chat won't read QR codes (what was I expecting?) only to be replied that signing messages wouldn't work with segwit addresses.

Bah....
I mean I don't care for the airdrop, from what I read you'd get 0.1GB for every 16 BTC, that's not even worth the tx fees.
But you guys trust this? Poor coding, & anti-segwit?

(not saying the coin won't do well, it doesn't need to be good or even working for that)

Airdrop to bitcoin holders is not really worth it now and it will probably removed it used to be good but not anymore, we still didn't hear a solid confirmation from the Dev about the next airdrop,linking a Segwit wallet is not possible this has nothing to do with Byteball it's something to do with Bitcoin as you can't sign a message from a Segwit wallet

You are one year late for getting the best out of the BTC airdrop - people who got the first airdrop 13 months ago have made a real pile of money for free. Not the BTC airdrop makes no sense any more.

Just a note (to the Devs?)... it would seem that under some circumstances, textcoins may not be being "fully claimed"... I was demonstrating to a friend how they work just now, and clicked on the one here:

Here is your link to receive 1,000,000 Bytes: https://byteball.org/openapp.html#textcoin?together-orange-pelican-tooth-fox-lucky-half-cup-window-coil-radar-pen

And then clicked the "Receive Funds" button, anticipating the usual "This Textcoin was already claimed!" message... instead... I received +213 bytes into my wallet??!? Looking at the history of the sending address on the explorer... I can see the original claimant, some 6 hours ago, got (999,499 bytes, not spent).

Is it something to do with this: "headers commissions from mci 173xxxx to mci 176xxxx. Sum: 688 bytes" message attached to the input? Is the address simply receiving some extra bytes AFTER the original claim is made?

The address get header commission in the meantime and you claimed it (no problem with that). A textcoin address can be "refilled" as wanted and claimed again.

Quite an interesting idea of the project GBYTE itself, but on the principle of how they started and how high the price was before - I do not think that I will be able to return to the previous level

The price in dollar could. But the price in bitcoin is difficult.

The price in dollar had already rises over last year's ATH, before the current correction (which is affecting most coins these days). I am rather sure also the price in BTC will at some point, and in a not too distant future.

Bullish! 
I am sorry but I am not planning to sell anytime soon. This coin might be 2018 hidden gem in the crypto world.
Truly good to see oldtimers like you asking to buy.

Liquidity is a bit poor with Cryptopia GBYTE wallet (and market) Still down. I hope they can get this up and running soon so I can withdraw my purchased Byteballs into my own wallet in time for the envisaged March Airdrop. It would be a shame if I would forfeit extra Byteball because of this exchange lockup issue.

I was not aware of the Byteball wallet on Cyptopia being offline. How long has it been offline already? I have bytes parked there from a lot of time but of course I too would withdraw them before March.

2018, 2019, 2020 hidden gem if you ask me. As I always say to friends and relatives, innovation leads to adoption, openness leads to more development. Pick the coin with it and hodl.
