There are several options to participate with a Electrum wallet:

1. register one address (from the receive tab) and transfer the complete balance of your wallet there
2. sign a message with your addresses, one at a time (you can link them all to the same byteball wallet)
3. control which address will receive the change by using the freeze/unfreeze feature of Electrum

IMHO #1 is the easiest one!

Why is the testnet client so long to sync ?!

What is the differences between a full client and light client? As I understand it, the full client will download and sync the full DAGs, and is autonomous. But what about light client? is it solely rely on a server (say at byteball.org) for balance/send/receive, or is it download also the last part of DAG, and operate from there?

Sorry if this question has already been answered here before, I'm just wondering whether it will be possible to participate in the distribution using the Electrum Wallet.

As it gives you multiple addresses I wouldn't know which one to register, right?

Cheers

Is the 25 of december fixed as a distribution date?

I believe you can just sign a message from your Trezor, this is also what I intend to do if possible. Perhaps someone can write up a tutorial for the different methods of linking accounts

As a workaround, you can copy the link from the website and paste it into the wallet at Menu -> Paired devices -> Add new -> Accept Invitation.

Yes this works and I've got my test byteballs an blakbytes.
I will test the wallet and report later.

Thanks.

For full technical description, read the white paper: https://byteball.org/Byteball.pdf
That’s why I want Byteball to be in the hands of as many people as possible:

98% of all bytes and blackbytes (the private untraceable currency) will be distributed among bitcoin holders who link their bitcoin and byteball addresses before the launch.  No investment required, you keep your bitcoins, plus receive the bytes and blackbytes.
1% I reserve for myself
To link your byteball and bitcoin addresses, you’ll need to make a small BTC payment to a one-time bitcoin address created specifically for you.  Next, you consolidate all your bitcoins on the one address you paid from that we know is controlled by you (if you have only one bitcoin address, you skip this step as all your bitcoins are already on a single address).  Then the number of bytes and blackbytes you receive will be proportional to the BTC amount on your linked address on the launch date.  Detailed instructions: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16837694.

Current status and plans

Currently, the first testnet is online and fully operational.  You can use it to send and receive coins, create multisig wallets, and even buy pizza by talking with a chatbot https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16330266.

New testnet will be launched in late November based on distribution that is proportional to balances on linked Bitcoin testnet addresses.  To take part in the distribution, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16837694.

Since early December you'll be able to link your livenet bitcoin and byteball addresses.  Livenet launches on December 25, snapshot will be taken from the first block of this day, and the distribution will be proportional to BTC balances on the linked Bitcoin addresses in this block.  10% of bytes and blackbytes will be distributed on this date, the remaining 88% will be distributed in subsequent rounds, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16569906.

at the risk that the question is already asked and answered many times...

Keeping the bitcoins in an hardware wallet like Trezor will work for the Byteball distribution?

Looks great work. So byteball can communicate with TOR network I guess. Do you still need to create some .onion hosts so that it can distribute things and have all default witness etc, so it can completely run inside TOR?

Today I builded byteball from source on an ubuntu 64 bit virtualbox guest (clear internet) using node.js 64 bit and NW.js 64 bit.  The host was the same (a good desktop with good internet).
It synchronized to completion in 1 h 45 min and byteball.sqlite ended with 522 Mb.

Yesterday on the same host and whonix 32 bit virtualbox guest (presumably throw TOR) it was 2 h to completion and and byteball.sqlite ended with 518 Mb.

Great improvement!
I have SSD and a big HD, but those virtualbox machines reside on the HD.
I will try to build from sources in another virtualbox with ubuntu guest and clear internet and see the time to sync it'll take, so we can compare basicaly clear net with TOR.
