Byteball: Blackbytes FAQ

[periander]

it is marked as semi-trustless at the store. What does it mean and how does it differ from BEEP bot?

Yes you can sell or buy blackbytes with the freebe bot. Its semi-trustless because you exchange your funds with conditional payments and therefore can not be scammed by other users or the exchange operator. It also has a website with orderbook apparently: http://freebe.byte-ball.com/

This is a pairing code: in the Byteball Wallet, pair your wallet with the bot.

@LoyceV can you make a test with both available byteball bots (freebe and beeb)?

In you wallet top left menu go to "PAIRED DEVICES" then "BOT STORE" and click on "Blackbytes Exchange BEEB (Trustful)".

When I can buy BlackByte on exchanges?

When I can buy BlackByte on exchanges?

it was say above you you can do it with the transaction, bot but it's a bit confusing because you need to use MB/MBB for selling your blackbytes

what is the correct sintax for selling? all this MB/MBB is confusing

Q. After restoring my backup (see previous Q.), I try to send blackbytes. Does this work?
A. No. Failure: "Could not send payment: precommit callback failed".

According to this question this only suppose to happen if we didn't requested blackbytes again from sender right?In my case i recovered wallet from old backup yes and then Tonych resent my 10GBB and i received it again so i should be able to send them but i still get this error which is annoying.I even created new backup after Tonych resent me 10GBB blackbytes and restored the wallet again using new backup and still i am facing the same error.

I think you somehow ended up with a different number of blackbytes in your wallet. The blackbytes error messages aren't very helpful at the moment.

@LoyceV can you make a test with both available byteball bots (freebe and beeb)?

It's on my todo list for when I have some time to spare

[Michail1]

Love the post.  It answers many questions.

What kind of testing?
Like sending you a tx which causes the eternal syncing private payments issue?

Just really subbing to the thread.

Can anyone help me, Ive claimed my GByte & GBB, the bot stated this, You are expected to receive 0.082716421 GB and 0.174622636 giga-blackbytes (GBB), but I didnt get any blackbytes on the address Ive claimed it with... I did get the exact amount of GB. Am I missing something, can anyone explain?

Contact me directly and I will walk you through various reasons and a possible solution.

It's easier if you join the byteball slack channel so others could help you as well.

I've tried the semi-trustless exchange bot, super cool and efficient.

The OP says

"'Test results
Q. What happens when I restore an old backup after receiving blackbytes?
A. The blackbytes are gone!
Q. After restoring my backup (see previous Q.), I request the sender to click "re-send private payloads". Do I receive my blackbytes again?
A. Yes''

Does this mean that if I lose my wallet and have to restore it from a backup, I would need to ask whoever I bought the blackbytes to resend the private payloads??!!! What happens if the sender doesnt  -then I just lose all my blackbytes?!

You lose all your blackbytes received after the backup was made.

Thanks bro. I just bought some Byteball and want to play around. Your post helps a lot.

Interesting, is there a way to buy and sell GBB efficiently? Why would the price be lower than GB if anyonymous? Seems to have more utility!

Are you the one who handled the mass airdrop of Byteball not long ago? Or is it still ongoing? Anyway, good job on that and many people were helped by your work I am sure. Will think about joining the next one if it is worth my time (if I have enough BTC at the time to make it worth it, that is).

In for 2 GBYTE.

Now...to buy Blackbytes.

Is it crazy difficult to set up the wallet?  Going to try and download the software but I am living in China ATM and the internet is HORRIBLE.

Cheers.
