BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg

[bhokor]

Hey i noticed some of the comments. We noticed that chainz takes a subscription so I'm going to pay that now.

Also as for development price and general slowness, as munti said I had to take care of things in my personal life. Crypto is my full time job right now so don't worry. I'm still working on completing Bitbay (including the pegging). It should be noted that we already have decentralized markets one year ahead of open bazaar.

As for crypto in general, not even bitcoin has hit main stream yet. So people are not focused on the utility of crypto yet we are still very early in the space.

Thought wallet was not connecting because the blockchain was down, but if you have another 1, don't think the wallet connects to that chain. Love the Bitbay project and think this the future of online trading. Sadly since my Hard drive broke, can't seem to get wallet back online for staking or anything else for that matter. Maybe I have wrong wallet version, mine is 1.0.0.1, is there a new wallet version out?  Your link for wallet from Dec 20 does not work.

The blockchain is fine. Looks like you found yourself a very old link. Try using the link in OP or at our site http://bitbay.market/downloads/
Let me know if that fixes it.

Edit: You said you have other wallets running. Could be a port conflict also. Read up here how to change port: http://bitbay.market/forums/topic/running-qt-and-client-simultaneously/

I wiped the hidden files and removed old qt wallet and downloaded the 1 you suggested with same results. Shows 0 active connections.

We might have to ask David have a look at it. But before we do, here are the nodes that are working fine for me:
addnode=104.236.208.150
addnode=188.166.39.223
addnode=128.199.118.67
addnode=104.255.33.162
addnode=194.135.84.161
addnode=23.227.190.163

Also try using different port just to make sure.
I assume you are running QT wallet, not the client. If you are running the client there's a few more things we could look into before asking David for help.

I did not find any .conf file inside the Bitbay QT, was not sure if this works but added a .conf file and called it nodes. I will show you what file I made:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=30200
addnode=104.236.208.150
addnode=188.166.39.223
addnode=128.199.118.67
addnode=104.255.33.162
addnode=194.135.84.161
addnode=23.227.190.163
server=1
gen=0



Not sure if I did it right here is a download link to my .conf file so you see:

https://anonfiles.com/file/dd28d1ce1adaf3078b90bb6be5e2a43b

Let me know, Thanks.

Your conf file should be in C:/users/yourname/Appdata/Roaming/BitBay
My conf file looks like this:
server=1
rpcuser=bitbayrpc
rpcpassword="a lot of letters and numbers that I will not reveal here"
rpcport=19915
addnode=104.236.208.150
addnode=188.166.39.223
addnode=128.199.118.67
addnode=104.255.33.162
addnode=194.135.84.161
addnode=23.227.190.163

Thanks for the update, but what do I put in the password? wallet password? sorry for the noob questions, not familiar with wallet coding.

You can put here something you want, it not have to be the same than the wallet password, only put something long and hard , no problem all of us were noobs a time ago

No a few people had the problem. You might want to check your debug.log files, mine said it was doing some dns stuff, waited for about 30 minutes and then was able to get back online. It might be because you haven't connected in a while. I can look more into it if it persists.

I had 6 different altcoin wallets. I saved the 6 .dat wallets and only Bitbay wallet denied my password, I know you will say I did it wrong, but there is no mistake. Since harddrive crashed is why I had to add the .dat files. Strangely enough was at the same as the Bitbay wallet stopped syncing. Don't think wallet needs to sync to make password work? Not that big a deal only had 300 000 Bitbay, but it made me rethink the value and aggravation of using or "investing" into any altcoin. Decided to sell out all altcoins and put it all into BTC, since with the halving coming up , analyst predict a 50% jump in value on BTC  and predict BTC hitting over 4k USD a BTC within 2 years.  Wish you good luck with Bitbay and have a Happy New Year

i didnt code the qt wallet, the only thing i work on is the decentralized markets and smart contracting wallet. The qt wallet is just a standard qt wallet. Also, it syncs fine. I'm not sure what the problem was that you had but its a qt issue or you didnt have the right password or something more self-explanatory.

[praprata]

I feels like people are losing hope.

After one year still developing and this thread is getting more silent every week.

Are there any real plans?

[funsponge]

Community use the slack group daily. This thread isn't our main communication link.

David is a unique genius, one of a very small handful who can actually create new things for crypto. Not like other coins who copy code and other ideas without actually bringin anything to the table. David is finishing off the templates for the only decentralised marketplace in the world!! And also will get Bitbay pegged to the US dollar before the end of 2016 to bring stability to a coin in such a volatile market is extremely welcome and will attract a lot more long term invests.

Doing all this on his own takes a whole lot of his time. He has dedicated his life to Bitbay over the past year and selfishly we are expecting him to continue to do so. So stop your backseat negativity or sell your Bitbay off cheap to us.

Eventually i can share with you guys a whitepaper on the pegging/freezing system. Its really awesome stuff. It just takes time. So for anyone who is wondering whats going on, just be patient. More updates are on the way.

Can't wait to read it .

have a wonderful year ))

I used to have some BAY and right now seems like a good time to get back in. Can anyone tell me if the POS works on the market app also or do i need to download the QT wallet to get coins from staking. I was looking for the answer but i could not really find an answer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yea you still need the QT wallet for staking.

Damn that's a shame. I think there was discussion about the same issue long ago and the idea was there to implement it. It would make sense to have one application and im pretty sure that adding staking to it shouldn't be too hard.
Looks like i need to get the QT for now then. Hope it gets implemented to the other app also.

It's the next thing on Davids list after templates.

It's good to see you more active here. Remember most investors are here, not on slack. Since. well let's face it's more convenient.
Being an investors i am a little bit worried about the wallet. When will there be a release of a stable wallet and with which features?

Both the client and the QT wallet are stable. The upcoming release has a few bug fixes and the market templates. It's mostly done, but we want to release a linux and mac version alongside the windows version, so that delays it a little. No eta, but should be soon.

Decentralized markets are definitely a hot topic right now. 
Is Open Bazaar considered the main competitor for Bitbay?

3rd party moderated escrow is not decentralized.

And bitcoin's volatility will create a nuisance upon the marketplace.

@3r197 Good points. 
Thanks for the feedback.
Makes me even more excited for Bitbay.

 i had the same problem you have to create a bitbay.conf file make sure the extension is .conf by viewing all extensions it might be txt which is not what you want, change txt to conf.
