BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg

[cryptohunter]

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

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

That is very interesting. So perhaps something in bitbay is encrypting the picture and can only be decrypted with the bitbay software.

That could be great for competitions and such.

If you have trouble connecting to the network, and have followed the above instructions without getting anywhere, you are most likely to have encountered on of the below.

1. You are blocked by your antivirus
2. You are blocked by your firewall
3. You saved the bitbay.conf file in the wrong location or you saved it as a .txt file instead of a .conf file

Please check for that, and if you still have problems, let us know.

Edit: You need to restart the wallet after adding the conf file.

I saw some news about bitbay include ETH!!

When will ETH say, lets collaborate with Bitbay.

Grown together, they should see that bitbay smartcontract will getting bigger and bigger right.

BitBay will not include ETH. But BitBay will make it possible to write your own smart contracts in python. This is a much more powerful solution than ETH DApps without the potential problems with bloat, loops, etc that the tech savy worry about in ETH.

I ran a test, and the nodes that are hardcoded into the QT wallet are not working. We will sort it out, but might take a day or two. In the meantime you can use a .conf file.

For Windows:
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.

For linux (I reduced the list of nodes for readability):

Some have reported problems connecting to the network.  A conf file will solve that.
...

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
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

restart the wallet and now should sync and start downloading blockchain automatically  

Can someone please post the equivalent for mac?

Its the python stepic library and i also hexlify the data and pad it. So yeah only Bitbays or BitHalos "key to image" feature would do it. Ive tested it, you just right click on the image you see here and save it... its a png file (dont screenshot), use key to image, it will realize there is a file in there, then you tell it where to extract, open the zip let out the keys, load the keys hit rescan and spend the funds to yourself before someone else does. Its a race in a sense.

The connection issue is now solved. 
The nodes that are hard coded into the QT wallet needed to be manually restartet after server maintainance

I have no problem. Thanks for the nodes.

I got no problems either.
Just a question. How long will the old wallet be usable. I've been using that one from the start and i become a little bit emotional to depart from it.

You can use it until we go to POS3. Probably last quarter of this year, but can happen sooner.

Great coin but without Poloniex it will never be a big player. You need to get this added period

I dunno, exchanges come and go. Perhaps its the one with volume because the others disappeared. But thats not necessarily a good thing. We need a decentralized exchange

I have some keys somewhere on my hard drive from my old bitbay wallet which stopped working, I tried to contact support via skype but in the end never managed to retrrieve them, Should I bother?

Yes, absolutely.
What OS are you on?

So I just realized another potential for the steganography built into the client. We could essentially use it inside Ebay, etsy, alibaba, etc., to help merchants create an alternative payment method.
It would be sort of like an 'underground railroad' system. If they want to sell a camera. They could post an image with the camera on ebay. But it would have the hidden file inside with instructions to the buyer on how to contact the merchant via bitbay! Buyers who know about bitbay could scan the image for a file.

Once ebay, alibaba, etsy, etc., catch on, if they penalize the merchant, then they would do nothing but draw attention to the fact. This would be better than the best marketing tool money could buy, because it would be free! Next thing you know you'd have news articles all over the internet abuzz about this new trick to bypass the middleman and their fees! Next thing you'd see would be a mass exodus from these marketplaces to BitBay

There are thousands of items posted each day. The resources for these companies to scan through pictures would be virtually impossible without adding expenses.

To the few people who have waited 6 months for an updated Linux build. Tested on 32 bit wheezy the newest version of BitBay/Halo and it worked like a charm. Will have 32 and 64 bit ready for the next release planned in a few weeks. Sorry for the delay. Have 6 different build environments now and lots of new scripts to set these up on any system now. Things going very smooth indeed.

Hi Mate, thanks for trying to help. However, I checked all the above including the conf file and my qt wallet does not get any connection to sync :s I have quite a bit of BAYs and I want to get them out of the exchange however I can't. What else can I do? Thanks

Maybe you didnt set up the conf file right. Its probably something simple. You can also build the qt wallet from the github https://github.com/dzimbeck/bitbay. The simplest way to move your coins and the most secure is to use the markets wallet.
Just move the coins to the markets wallet. In the markets wallet there is a conf file in the bitbaydata directory and its already set up with the newest nodes.

I forgot to mention that installing somewhere else than default location can be the source of trouble too. If you installed to default location, I suggest you join us on slack http://bitbay.market/wp-login.php?action=slack-invitation
Just ask for me in general channel and we can start troubleshooting step by step
