Hi devs!
one question: i'm a xapo user(they have multisig), will i have any problem to link my address and receive byteball?

Maybe other xapo users know more, but if you control your private keys, you should be able to link.

Has anyone been able to transfer blackbytes? I have not. Any blackbytes for testing are strongly appreciated if sent to the following byteball address: KJXCTA4X7UPBGLPNW4MPQMTGYNV52LLV

If you give a reward for translation, I can translate it into Turkish.

You have two options to prove your Bitcoin balance:
a.  By making a micropayment.  The bot will see your address the payment came from, will know that it is your address, and will instruct you to move your Bitcoins to this address.  By making several micropayments, you can link several Bitcoin addresses to the same Byteball address.

@tonych: not sure if this was discussed before, but don't you think there is a possible door for cheating here?
One could send bitcoins from an exchange address just before the mainnet launch, hoping that address will have many BTC at the coin launch date. I am not sure how exchanges work, but I suppose some of them do not always zero the address they used to complete their users' withdrawals, so the withdrawal address could contain big funds, not actually belonging to the person who withdrew the funds from it.
This way someone could imitate he has big funds, while not having them in reality.

Not sure I explained my point the best way... I hope the main idea is understandable though.

That's a valid concern, and most likely there will be more than one user trying to profit from exchanges that reuse addresses.  Probably we'll have to blacklist BTC addresses that sent more than one micropayment, unless it negatively affects other legitimate use cases.

There wil be walet for Windows Phone?
As you can see in the first page, they only have IOS and Android wallets, I don't think if the android wallet can be supported on your window phone but you can try it to found what will be happen.

1. For the first byteball distribution, is there only one snapshot at the btc address balance linked to byteball address (on 25th december)?
2. Is it possible to claim byteballs for instance for each device in which you have installed byteball wallets? for example PC, laptop and mobile phone? or one BTC deposit is only allowed to claim byteballs for just one device once?  I do understand that there are more distribution hopefully every 2-3 months after.

From the first post:

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.
               

So:
1. Yes there will be only one snapshot for the first distribution.
2. If you link another BTC address to another Byteball address (on another device) then there shouldn't be an issue, maybe you are talking about linking the same BTC address to multiple devices, this would make a good testcase Smiley. See the quote above, for details about the distribution.

Hi there, congratulations for all devs, this coin is very innovative.                                           Just some silly questions:                                                                                                                  1. For the first byteball distribution, is there only one snapshot at the btc address balance linked to byteball address (on 25th december)? or does it work like Ardor token distribution in which your linked NXT address balance was snapshot for many days and then averaged?                                                                                                                                            2. Is it possible to claim byteballs for instance for each device in which you have installed byteball wallets? for example PC, laptop and mobile phone? or one BTC deposit is only allowed to claim byteballs for just one device once?  I do understand that there are more distribution hopefully every 2-3 months after.                                                                        Please clarify these questions, thanks in advance and regards

I lost the distribution?

I cant belive on this Sad

What do you mean?
If you meant that you missed the distribution, then, no you didn't miss it. For now, the distribution process is being tested on a testnet (with testnet bitcoins and test byteballs). The linking is on-going and the testnet distribution will happen by the end of Novemeber. After that, livenet linking will start until 25th of Decemeber, the day the real distribution will happen.

Thanks for your help!

Okay, if I have understood correctly I can wait until the 25th of December in order to verify my Bitcoin address on Livenet and get the shares. Correct?

Does that mean that one have to participate on the testnet distribution in order to get the coins for livenet, too?
Or can one participate independently in both distributions?

You don't have to, but you can if you want to see now what the process is going to look like.
Testnet and livenet distributions are independent.

If I understand correctly you should verify your bitcoin address before livenet launches on 25th of December or else it will be too late. FYI linking of address will start early next month up to the launch date.

Only a few months old and byteball already has so much activity .

Is it possible by any means to get some free byteballs without having any btcs in the past and present?

I dont think so. There no faucets I know of or campaigns. It would be a good idea for the Dev to launch some promotional campaigns and pay us in byteball to help spread awareness to it and create more holders.
They have signature campaign that managing by yahoo62278 and paying via bitcoin, it would be great if they are paying byteball coins also.

anyone got any success to replace a witness? I tried many times but always get "no stable messages from the new witness yet". According to tony, that this may be caused by no transactions on the address. But I am sure I have transactions on some of the addresses I tried, still no luck.

Hi, this project is very interesting...I installed both byteball TEST and TN wallets in a windows 7 PC, just two questions: 1. is it possible to have byteball test as a light wallet in windows PC, which means no syncing time, would that be a problem for the testnet? 2. how can I install both byteball TEST and TN wallets in linux ubuntu 16.04 LTS laptop, is there any place with basic instructions on how to do this? sorry about the quite basic questions, thanks in advance and regards

there just one version for bytes test (v0.6.0) for tn version light wallet is available..linux is a black hole to me i cant help yu   Grin
