BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg

I tried to use search, entered "Good Year", "tire" but see nothing. Does the search work, what am I missing?

Hi David,
I see at least three domains, thebitbay.org, bitbaymarket.net, and bitbay.market.
Which one do you host?

Its funny, we just had a long conversation about this today. I currently dont host any of them. Bitbay.net was Bobs which was trolled so Steven got Bitbay.org where they hosted and we redirected that to bitbaymarket.net for this launch. However, one of our core members holds bitbay.market and has been working up some ideas with it. So personally im not sure which domain will be the permanent one. Its up to the community to decide that.

It would be nice if i had my own domain perhaps i will buy one of the 3 at some point.

Thanks. I wanted to install the new Mac QT client and so I wanted to make sure that downloading a file hosted on bitbay.market was secure or not.

Yet I can't seem to find out how I'm supposed to incorporate my existing QT-wallet info into the client.

Why would you need to do that? I mean if you wanna transfer some BAY from your QT wallet to the client then just copy the clients address to a txtfile eg., close the client (be sure that it really exited) and start the QT wallet.
Note: the copy to clipboard function won't work if you close the client. That's why I put it into a txt file

Ahhhh...Thanks!!
I guess I was trying to overthink the whole concept.
I think I'm getting the gist of this now.

So eventually this client will stake coins as well - like the wallet yet with added security?
Or can it already stake?

One more question, (sorry if it's been answered already), can we go ahead and sell stuff or do we have to wait till the final release?

Not only will it stake but it will stake from 2 locations (since you use 2 keys). So you can do hardware staking when im finished coding it.

If you are under "Show all contracts" and its not showing perhaps you need to wait for the markets to populate. It can take a little bit of time to find the other nodes in the bitmessage network. Once you find them it speeds up.

Okay.

So I'm waiting on the client to finish syncing. In the mean time, I've been reading up on "Documentation" in the Client's "Help" tab.

Yet I can't seem to find out how I'm supposed to incorporate my existing QT-wallet info into the client.

So do I have to use the wallet console to find my private key and then enter that into the client?

If my wallet only has one private key (i'm just guessing), what do I do when the client asks if I want to make a second private key?

Any video links already out that explain this?

Thanks in advance!

Wallet.dat is not used. You cant import a qt wallet into BitBay. Everything in Bitbay is multisignature (dual key). So just make the two keys and send coins to the new address. Soon we will add staking.

Hey everyone, if setting up email we noticed that either avast or outlook is causing a padding effect that messes with my encryption. So best to simply use gmail when setting up email. Even just start a blank email account since it would only be used by Bitbay as it stands. Otherwise, you can use any of the other providers or even pure bitmessage.

Outlook with avast will be either be fixed or not supported as an email provider in the next update. Thanks rqdxrocket for taking the time to test that with me.

Thanks for all the info David, Gizfreak, and Munti!

I'm planning on getting in touch with my brother who lives in another town.
I'll get him to install the client so we can set up a joint account that is virtually unhackable!

Love the idea!

Can't wait to get some more time this weekend to play around with it!

The search function works fine for me though.

Probably what Davids says.

bitbaymarket.net is the best choice i think

The new QT on Mac works perfectly fine, however the client for Mac crashes every time during Setup Wizard.
I'm on OS X Yosemite. Anybody experiencing the same issue?

The issue may be with the bitbayd build. Its run as a subprocess and there are some mac systems it doesnt run on. If you can PM me, we can get that working for you.

I had the same issue with windows. Do you have the wallet shutdown before you try to load up the client? They can't work simultaneously.
Sorry if you already knew this - just throwing it out to ya in case you missed it.

On Windows 8 I get a "bitpayd failed to load" message.  I have tried running as Administrator and no luck. Ideas?

you're not running bitbayd.exe already in the background? because that happens when you try to run the QT wallet and client simultaneously or the bitbaydaemon already running.

Ok been running the market wallet for over a day and have tried searching the market and nothing shows at all...Ive asked once before what i may be doing wrong and didn't get an answer or even a suggestion.
 So am i to assume this is how new people on the scene are going to be treated, because Ive seen others post here and get answers and Ive posted here even in the past and so far have never received an answer to ANY of my questions.

Please someone explain why the market never populates for anything at all with my client.

Please understand that this is new to everyone. Some questions can be answered by a few of us, but some must be answered by David. He is busy coding, and can not be on this forum 24/7.
What os are you using? Is your client synced? Have you been able to set up your email in the client? Got the test mail? Bitmessage enabled?

Hey there, if you see how many times i post here obviously im more than happy to help you out even personally. Ok so your market isnt populating. I'm wondering if bitmessage wasnt getting a good connection or perhaps has a firewall issue? Im thinking the best way may be to give you a custom bitmessage client that you can run so we can look inside it and see whats going on.

Also, try to double check that your bitmessage address is loaded. Even in Bitbay, it will tell you how many connections you had. Sorry if i overlooked your comment. I get amazingly busy.

I'm more than happy to walk you through it on IRC, Skype or email. PM me so we can get you started.

To improve Bitmessage, im very soon going to be having a superior seeding system to speed things up.

[Yackatoon]

I see a few things i havent done yet such as the email so let me try a few of the things mentioned and then we can try troubleshooting if it doesnt work.
yep no dice got an email attached and it says bitmessage has 8 network connections. went as far as checking my firewall and set bitbay and bit halo to super trusted in the settings and still the market does nothing. sadly ive got things to do so maybe someone can help me troubleshoot later.

You might want to try posting an order to the market and see if you end up seeing your own order. Make it for like 1 bitbay. Also, everyone in the markets should see that as well.

Another thing we can try is that I send an offer to you directly to your bitmessage address. We will see if it sees incoming messages. Perhaps your peers didnt find ours. So far, i have only see this issue once and it was with my build on my computer at a second location. I was unable to see messages that my other setup saw. But it later found peers and fixed itself. I will definitely look into hard coding some peers for the network thats arent native bitmessage nodes.

In the future, i can run all the nodes through a server and have all client pull that list for instant connection.
