Yes, absolutely.
What OS are you on?

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?

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

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

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

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.

I have no problem. Thanks for the nodes.

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

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.

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):


Can someone please post the equivalent for mac?

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

What's going on with Bitbay these days?

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

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?

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.
