Topic: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments - page 1082. (Read 1234271 times)

Maybe a little bit OT:
I’d was just reading that migrants sending every year 440 Milliarden Dollar home - most to Albanien, Afghanistan und Nigeria.
They use travel agencies, supermarkets and kiosk near the station to transfer the money using Western Union, Moneygram and Ria.

„Use BB.HS (BB- home-send) get 64,2 kB for free” 
„Save transfer around the world in seconds. Your BTC / Byte Dealer (every fu.. kiosk owner) will help you to tranfer.“

Yes, I know the problem ist the interface fiat<->crypto. So, maybe therefore  crypto will be a hidden layer for a very long time…
But people which selling cigarettes and lottery ticket can also sell BTC or Bytes using her mobile..
The problem ist to generate a initial demand - we have a classical problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg
To break the barrier and to initialize a Revolution, the fees have to be so smal against classical competitors (Western Union, Moneygram, Ria) that the people overcoming habits , fears  and prejudices.

That shoud not be a great Problem: I was reading they take up to 8% for sending 200 $.
In my opinion it’s much easier  to rush a existing market than enter a market wich will come in the future (IOTA).

@ lerecidiviste: you will receive some funds

whether it is still in test phase or testnet?

Hi, what is the meaning of testnet?

anyone to test play with new wallet app



please kindly send me luck amount


13 byteballs to X6TNUGLG7XL54RDXHZZMIFJDJSGZPQJW

will send it back asap

 

hello tonych   

gd day to you


please try to think about cost of transaction & idea to include it inside the distribution/inflation/total max float  of the BYTEBALL

please think about making byteball a currency with NO TRANSACTION COST

this would be super COOL 

regards

I just read about this and I found this is quite interesting. I will learn about this soon.

Please see my response to cryptohunter on the previous page.

The purpose is to get the coin available to a large group of people in the most transparent way.  Bitcoin has by far the largest user base among cryptos, and adding alts doesn't justify the complexity.

Please avoid bringing up fairness here, it's subjective and means so many different things to different people.

Or just cap the amount of BTC that can be linked, like I said several times already, it's stupid to reward someone who has 1k BTC, you won't build a community this way.

i think so. If people have many btc , they don`t need byteball. They play with byteball two hours and will forget about. Distribution way now - suicide byteball.

Ah OK.
Android: you don't need to do anything, it autoupdates automatically (unless you turned autoupdates off)
Desktop: you manually install the new version, your data stays intact.

Hi tony,
I'm very impressed by all of this. I think the tech / wallet is well done. I’m not a crypto insider, but I tryed 3 different devices (Win10/ FireOS 5.3.1/Android 5.1.1. - mulitsig wallet 2 of 3 is very nice an works fine. Update was easy for me..
I agree to your distribution scheme with a little change:

1.   Freedom 251 is an Indien Smartphone (price 3,3 €) So if they by a smartphone installing BB and receive Bytes for free they get a nice sponsorship:
0,001 BTC -> 64 Cent -> 62,5 KBytes  0,64 €/3,3 €= 19%
With 1% of the distribution you can easy generate 160 Mio. of such Sponsorships. Lots of bytes will be lost.. who cares.. If the spending is low, hopefully there will be no great incentive for abuse. Maybe you can combine Captcha / Device address …

2.   The people with open mind are not old men with a lot of money (look at the social media) or freaky traders. You have to interest the young people to get in touch with BB. Money hast to flow..
Give them some pocket money to get interested and become in touch with BB.
Yes, thousands of this Sponsorships / Seeds will fail, millions of Bytes will be lost - who cares ..
To attack PayPal you can’t go the same way (from top) - you have to come from below with the power of the masses.

3. There is also the possibility to give Bytes to social organisations.

4.You can also ask the community to vote for the best use of the X%

This are only some examples to clarify the idea. There will be much more ideas if you think in this direction. I think such activitis are more sustainable than being a one year wonder at polo. You should reserve 1% (or more) for such activities.

The other idea was that the “investors” has to “pay” this social (and marketing) fee depending on her BTC volume. But they will split..

Your Slogan should be “Divide et impera”. Ripple spend her token to the banks, you spend some token for free to the people..

To reaching a lot of people, for a “deeper” Distribution (outside of cryptoland / insider) you have to lower the techlevel / barrier to entry (no crypto tech speak). I hope sometimes there will be some brand new youtube video “How to use Byteball easy in the right way”. Ask the people on the street whether they understand what Byteball stands for. If they do, you are right.

Sorry for my bad english – It took me more than 4 hours to write this...

good luck

Sorry my english is bad.. wanted to say back office.. so i can update without re-install correct ?

Have you considered a distribution where not only btc but other major altcoins are considered? It would be more complex of course but much fairer

Do you see link on github?

Yes it is, thanks.

But there is another problem in version 0.2 and 0.5 as well is crashing cinnamon.

"
Cinnamon just crashed. You are currently running in Fallback Mode.

Do you want to restart Cinnamon?
"
Restart makes all OK.

just test net wallet 

Just unzip and overwrite the old version.
The app creates a .desktop file at ~/.local/share/applications (check that it exists), it should be automatically detected by the OS.
