BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg

I have the old wallet running I guess. How do I update to new wallet? do I just install the new wallet and copy the wallet.dat file and wait for sync?

If you used the Qt wallet then you have to realize that the wallet with markets in it doesnt use wallet.dat. It uses two keys (multisignature). However you can send coins from your old wallet to the new one.

If you are simply updating the Halo/markets wallet then we notice that you would have to do a full uninstall and reinstall using the new one we have online. Just always remember to keep both keys that you generate during setup.

my market client still shows 2 items for sale;

a tire pressure gauge
a doge

it says 100%. I also put in a offer on some test offerings that have been pending for a while. whoever owns that myhalo1111 gmail account.

anyway help I want to get this client to work again

I am only showing my listing (the webcam) and the red balloon, have you tried restarting client?

Thanks

I have restarted it many times.

Not trying to measure sizes or anything lol but just to let you know i have 5 different items for sale on the market looking at it from my client 

I am on linux and it has a really nice feel to it.

Hi what linux you got ? i got ubuntu and the client don't even open. Do you need any other software before starting it?

Hey,

The computer i am on at the moment is ubuntu 14.04 i think it might be the old one but it is secure and fast enough so i will contiue to use it for awhile. How are you trying to start the client from the terminal or from the files? I have nothing added to the normal ubuntu software.

Thank for your reply . i got ubuntu 64bit 14.10 which is the latest one . i run it for the files it self i never tried the terminal is that how you do it ?

PM me with a description of what happened so i can troubleshoot it. What you are saying is that the old orders are still there but the new ones are not? I've wondered if this happens because of changes in your known nodes.

Thanks. I didnt know that. So running the old wallet still helps the network right? cause I switched back to old one.

Yeah, if you are staking sure. Staking will be added to the new wallet soon.

Hello,

  My 2nd item is now listed on the market, a Logitech webcam.

Thanks

Awesome! Congrats on the tire gauge sell as well!

I've had the client up and running for a few days now.
So I'll try my best to let you know ASAP when your new item shows up on my client

Cheers!

Congrats on your first sale  

Surprising that has not showed up on your client yet because it is on mine and i am now transferring some to the market wallet to buy a red balloon lol

All seems to be working really well when this gets busy with sellers it will be awesome, i stopped selling on ebay because of the 10% ebay fee and then another few percent to paypal, it all added up and made it hardly worth it but here with no fee's has to get big when people know.

Well done David!

I figured out what I did wrong. I had the top right filter tab on "Bitbay" rather than "All".

I see the camera now, thanks!

Right now there is only one item in my client - the webcam.

It is hard to find this thread from the old one.

[blacktea286]

This bitbay was sad, although developers very hard, also won't have many people like it, so its price will be more and more low, finally gave up

[asuryan180]

It is hard to find this thread from the old one.

Simple solution is to bookmark this thread which is what i have done and i have yet to see the old thread for months, nice and easy.

This post is cute such enthusiasm ^^, Bitbay is not sad it is actually just getting started and is happy  I agree the developer works very hard and this is why Bitbay is happy also. Many people will like it when they actually understand the power of it, So the price at the moment does not mean anything Quitters give up and that is the opposite to David so all is well that ends well.

[funsponge]

I couldn't be happier! I'm buying it at such a cheap price!
When this is fully up and running and people become aware of Bitbay and the marketplace it will be HUGE! May take a bit of community drive and advertising to spread the word, but I'm sure all the crypto news channels and publications will make it their main news! This coin will be a top 10 coin dare I say top 5 coin! David is amazing AKA Yoda!

I have some things to post too. I hope to get to it this week. Games, smart phone etc.

Hi David,

Are you going to open up a feedback period where power sellers and Ebay sellers submit feedback for features and layout suggestions?

2) Where are you on the timeframe now?

3) How is the peg going along?

Thank you

Yeah i have a feedback system in place, i just need to decide how many reviews im going to allow. Also a way to verify their reputations and such.

The timeframe is as follows:
templates
multisig staking
NT microtrader
Pegging

Some other things too like making sure the mac and linux build works on all versions and any patches etc. With templates it will be much easier for anyone to understand.

Heads up David your doing a great job! keep up the good work

Is bitbay onchain or offchain? How is it different than openbazaar(off chain) and syscoin(on chain)?

[dzimbeck]

Is bitbay onchain or offchain? How is it different than openbazaar(off chain) and syscoin(on chain)?

The markets are definitely off chain. The way it works is it leverages Bitmessage channels with modified Bitmessage source. So nodes keep messages in their memory for 2 days. Every node tries to see if it can decrypt any message which basically makes it anonymous. Since you dont know who is decrypting what.
There is a header which requires POW. So unlike OB or other systems ddos or flooding is hard to do. And in theory, time locks can be used to circumvent pow altogether.

Also, correct me if im mistaken but we are the only markets to be in open beta. Templates will be coming soon. Performance could be speed up dramatically with some server nodes (so can tighter moderation).

I dont believe in bloating the blockchain and i think bitmessage chose the correct model for scalable serverless internet. Nodes can easily choose a network of nodes they trust, ports can be changed to subscribe to certain markets, network can route through Tor (and hopefully eventually i2p), and nodes can most likely even link adjacent networks. Reduce bloat at all costs and of course only download what you need to see. Of course i think more modifications can and should be done to Bitmessage. Blockchains are very unnecessary here, you cant download the internet.

Bitmessage natively will submit messages again if 2 days pass. Then follow by 4, 8 ,16 and so on. In Halo it might be prudent to make that more frequent while in escrow. Not sure yet, for now i tell people to use encrypted gmail accounts for increased speed during negotiations.

Speaking of 2 day expiration. As you can see the webcam is no longer on the market. It would have to be sent again (the option is in the pending tab).

However, like I said, we will add an option to allow automatic re-submitting.

It is amazing from what he has come threw, all the crap to get to where he is now with this project is a massive accomplishment to say the least i hope this market gets the buyers and sellers it deserves. I will be selling a few bits that would have been sold on ebay as soon as this gets to enough people i can see it being very successful and most of all a game changer. Looking forward to seeing how the multisig staking and pegging turns out 

[funsponge]

hi all. I agree well done David!

on a different note i have just been on Cryptsy for the first time in 6 months and its unbelievable the lack of knowledge and immaturity there is over there. The people on the chat are just buying whats going up and for no other reason.  I start to ask questions about coins and all their replies are "just ride the wave" or "its going up, buy buy"! A few days of a few of us on there educating them and we could gain loads of buyers/users. of cause we need to get listed there first.
