I just did a smart contract in Byteball : mind blow.

[dbc23]

Version 1.7.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

This version enables prediction markets based on P2P smart contracts. See https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-episode-iii-prediction-markets-f40d49c0abab



Now you can bet on (or hedge against) any events and get paid if the event happens.  One type of events that is already working today is events based on exchange rates of crypto coins and major fiat currencies. 

You are welcome to add new oracles that post other real-world events and enable prediction markets based on these events.

Other updates:
* New translations thanks to community members: Hungarian, Swedish, Polish.  Dutch translation improved.
* Multiple small improvements and bugfixes

If you are running a full wallet, the upgrade is mandatory.  The new version extends the smart contract language.  As soon as the new language constructs are used for the fist time, old nodes will not recognize them and will be stuck until upgraded.

That was thrilling when I saw it on their site. 

BB has:
easy to use wallet and app
apparently solid development
unique (semi) fair distribution method
smart contracts that normal people can use
high privacy transaction option
and now oracle/prediction markets

Of all the big currencies around they've basically taken the best from each, added a unique consensus method, and are off to the races.

wow. this is very interesting indeed. I appreciate the ability to perform smart contracts via a chat app. That is the way it should be, simple and relateable by the average person. Good work

This coin is marvelous, I wonder why there are not many people get into this coin. There are about 6 or 7 distributions left and I will definitely join to earn free byteball aka ggb

There are more than 570000 BTC linked now, people become more and more. And 2/3 of GB still have to be distributed !

You've probably heard about the Parity multi-sig smart-contract hack ? https://blog.aeternity.com/parity-multisig-wallet-hack-47cc507d964d
Even if the devs are honests, they can still do big mistake...
This shows how the Byteball smart-contracting approach is pertinent, by offering simple contracts definition that people can review themself, they don't have to trust any devs.

I think this is really cool. Is there more exciting news about Byteball?
Obviously the price has never recovered. I remember $800-$900.
Now we're at only $466

In light wallet smart contract working?

Don't forget that bytes holders get 20% more coins at each distribution, this almost compensates the price drop. In a crypto market going down in overall that's not so bad.
The exciting news about Byteball is that it works without flaws as described in white paper and it's given for free. This is not the usual get-rich-quick ICO scheme, don't expect it to be pumped with bullshit news. I expect rather a slow grow sustained by people technically minded (they are a lot on Byteball Slack) until someone launches a killer smart-contract that becomes viral spreaded by P2P.

In light wallet smart contract working?

Yes light wallets are enough for everyday uses.

Exciting story 
A very special coin indeed... https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7mxofd/why_im_not_touching_byteball_at_the_moment/dub980h/

I'd check out this article about Quantstamp if you want to learn more about smart contracts. They have some good ideas for the future of smart contracts and how to make them more secure. https://medium.com/quantstamp/quantstamp-innovation-from-y-combinator-to-beyond-f8a72de35cfe
