where has everyone vanished to.. we were building a decent momentum for a while. I know the new templates are out any day now but nice to keep the chat going on here instead of vanishing to slack.

Sorry man, I've been busy making tutorials on youtube. Trying to get as much done before the release

Give it up this coin is dead.

Just trolling for trolls' sake? Because this coin seems as alive as just about any other smaller-cap altcoin right now - dzimbeck, etc. still very active and working to make this thing happen, as far as I can tell.

Since we are talking about bootstraps...
I'd like to ask...
So what is the game plan on the bootstrap?
On this release at the end of month, will the bootstrap be programmed into the client installation file? Or will we still need to install it manually?
If manually, what about in the future? I mean will it ever be built into the installation file or always manual. I remember installing the bitcoin qt wallet about 6 months ago; the bootstrap was automatic and I had the entire bitcoin blockchain downloaded in about 6 hours. That's pretty impressive to say for bitcoin's chain and very noob friendly. If I was completely new to crypto and realized I had to wait 2-3 weeks for bitcoin to sync, it would be a huge turn off.
IMHO, since the rest of the new templates will be released on random intervals over the next few months, it would be a nice bonus to have the bootstrap automated for the sake of new users and at each new released template we could simply update the bootstrap along with them.

Thoughts?

I don't see how that would not be a big positive.

Yea, I just noticed after some researching that other coins are giving 2 options; to either download a bootstrap or the blockchain. I tried a blockchain download with one coin and was synced up in 5 minutes. It made the bootstrap seem like a slow dinosaur.

Would be nice. Especially for when we start doing something with the bitbay markets to entice people to use it.

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.

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

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

I downloaded the mkt client and it's synchronizing Grin

however my blk001 weights 1mb does the bootstrap works here? where should I paste it? >bitbaydata? or bitbaydata>database

Cheers

Yes, bootstrap works. It was last updated a month or so ago. Bootstrap goes in same folder as your blk0001 file.
Use notepad, and write this:
bitbayd.exe -datadir=%CD%\bitbaydata -loadblock=%CD%\bootstrap.dat
Save as a bat file.
Dobbelclick it after saving to start it.

file name? I got the bootstrap from the 1st page of this thread hope that's ok

Bootstrap from 1st page is fine. You can name the file anything you want. I called mine "bootstrap.bat"

synced 58% so far. Thanks a lot!

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.

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. Cool

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.
