Is anything wrong with your Qt for windows? i left it the whole night and it didn't sync. Thanks

Some have reported problems connecting to the network.  A conf file will solve that.
You can write write one yourself in notepad. Copy paste the following into a new doc:
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
Save it as bitbay.conf in /BitBay/bitbaydata for the client, or in users/"your user"/appdata/roaming/bitbay for the QT wallet.
Be aware that it sometimes takes a little while for the client to establish the first contact with the network

To speed up the syncing you can use the bootstrap in OP, or use http://cryptochainer.com
Bootstrap is a little faster than syncing over the network, but still takes a long time. Replacing the files needed for the blockchain with the download from cryptochainer is very fast, so if you trust them you can be up and running in 15-30 minutes.

The wallet could really do with a refresh. It isn't the best. Be good when we get over to POS3 or POSP with new perfectly working wallet.

This wallet we have is okay. But would be nice to have a better one.

...

for linux users:

- save a bitbay.conf file in the /home/$USER/.bitbay directory, you can do this with the command:

sudo nano /home/$USER/.bitbay/bitbay.conf

- add the following content to the conf file:

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass

Did you make a conf file like I described above?

David,

I extracted the keys from the image and loaded up the address is the Bitbay Market but it is empty so I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks

Nope you didn't do anything wrong. Just hit the rescan button. Its because you have a fully synced client. The wallet.dat file only knows about transactions as they happen. So brand new accounts always need to use rescan if they already have a balance. (A byproduct of watchonly wallets in general)

No worries ptcgroup, there will be more giveaways like this - might have them scattered all over the internet one day. 
Steganography is a pretty amazing 'one of a kind' feature to have built-into the Client!
And as you can see now, it doesn't just have to be used to hide key files; it can be used to hide and open almost any file inside an image.

What issues are you having loading up the files?

Hey 3r197 these things you guys are come out with are very entertaining. What i did was try to extract the key out using the key to image option but i keep getting errors ,i dont remember what the errors said because im not home but keep up the good work guys.

[cryptohunter]

this key to image function in the bitbay market place is that the only one that could decrypt that picture?

If so that could be a really cool feature to get people to use the bit bay market place.

Or is there like 3rd party ones people can use?

I mean could they possibly get that picture and use some other software to see the key or is this picture only readable by the bitbay market place key to image?

I'm having the same issue... how can I play with the wallet if I can't even sync it. no connections

What's going on with Bitbay these days?

[btc_zero_sum]

i was too lazy to start a win vm for bitbay-market so i tried to extract data from the picture with openstego and i didn't manage to extract the key

Yea, I'd be interested to know the error. We will make a step by step video on how to use the Key to Image feature in the near future.

For now it only works with .png files. Can't seem to get jpegs to work with it.

But yea...
You should be able to right click on the image at top of page.
Click on "save as"
Save that file to your computer (should be in .png format)
Then use the Client's Key to Image feature.
Once clicked on... It will ask what image you wish to use to add a file to OR what image you wish to open
It will detect automatically if you already have a file in the image - that's how it knows to skip the 'add setup' - and loads it up.
In the window that asks you which file to load up (or add to), you won't be able to see it because the default file setting it's searching for are key files. These files have the suffix    ".private"
If an image has a zip file in it (for example and in this case), you simply need to select the different choice of file type at the bottom of this key to image window from ".private" to "All Files *.*"
Might sound complex but it's not really.
Once you select on that file option, you should see the image you downloaded from this thread as an option to load up.
unzip the file and now you have 2 key files you can use to "Open" an account in the client. As always, first backup your existing account if you have one already set up.
Once the these keys are opened up just click on the rescan option at the bottom of the Client's home tab to verify the account balance.

Let me know if you have any issues.
