I didn't receive my bb from beeb bot. Tried the resend id procedure, but it says "No such batch can be resent."
Batch number is 4437.
What should i do?

I had the BTC - Byteball exchange bot "ignore" my deposit because it was "too small". Admittedly, it wasn't a lot, but it was in the ballpark of 20USD at the time of the deposit. The message was just "Received your payment of 0.059 GB it is too small to be exchanged, will be ignored.".
This bot has a buyer beware and explicitly says not to deposit the amount you deposited. So I'd have to respectfully say that there's only one place to put the blame if you don't get refunded.
Actually... it doesn't say that at all... what it actually says is:
Quote
We'll exchange as much as you pay, but the maximum amount is 1 GB, minimum is 0.002 BTC worth.
Which in my opinion is a little misleading... having maximum as BYTEs and minimum as BTC 
It is perfectly reasonable to expect someone to read that as Max is 1 GB... min is 0.002... user sends 0.059 GB... starts wondering why their deposit is too small when minimum is 0.002. Yes, the user should probably be more careful and read things properly, but still... this is just setting people up to fail and that's just not good UI/UX.
Also, given that the rates are constantly changing... specifying a fixed minimum in the converted unit is a terrible idea!
I misread... my apologies

There are 3 full time developers and there are developers who are actively working on projects that will work exclusively on the Byteball platform.
Who are the other Devs?
I don't see their names in public forums and don't intend to be the first person to name names... but if you look at Tony's contributions and commits on github and see what has been built in the last year it's self evident he's not working alone.
Are they famous?

Byteball is in the process of establishing a legal entity in Switzerland/Lichtenstein. This is aimed at bringing marketing and business development to a new level. Consequently, to grow strategically we need a budget enabling us to make short term and medium term plans. We need to hedge against volatility and work in fiat. Byteball is following the best practices in the crypto market.
Mhh this sounds interesting. Was quite disappointed in the last weeks, because of the progress of this project but maybe Byteball will change tack. I really hope so

Who cares about the airdrop, this tech is DOPE and so young and will be around long after the pretender projects die off.
Adding big positions on days of these very dumb dumps.

Since most of the Byteball holders received their stack for free after so many months. Their hands are probably the most weak. They are probably dumping Bitcoin along with the free GBBYTE they got as we speak. Best to add positions after the carnage is over.

I would love to see some of the undistributed funds be spent to ramp up the team (particularly bringing on more full time marketing and business development employees) but I would disagree with a few items.
There are 3 full time developers and there are developers who are actively working on projects that will work exclusively on the Byteball platform. The only reason these other developers haven't forked and created their own coin is because Tony is a genius and having Tony and shitty marketing today is better in the LONG TERM than doing marketing their own way today and not having Tony and his team of two others build the (IMO) best conceivable crypto platform.
If Tony dies I guarantee the project will be forked, the witness structure will transition to a masterwitness scheme (like dash masternodes but no miners and different concensus) and the existing GBYTE holders will continue on without their blackbytes.
Mass adoption will come. But it's not going to come before most people want to sell and move onto the next mooning shitcoin.

If Tony were to die, why continue without the blackbytes though?

AFAIK @Punqtured from slack has recently taken on translation efforts. He seems to have accomplished a lot in the little time he has been working on it. I don't know if he's going to tackle the bots (since many are third party submissions) but that's a good point.

Mass adoption requires internationalization. English chatbots frighten non english users. Especially the ones which users can get some bytes for free to play with.

byteball is good. even if the airdrop is cancelled, and there will come another airdrop, but is not as easy as before to getting free coins.
byteball has its own code from scratch.
has its main net and running.
has a good and responsible coder.
it is the dag mode.
it is wrote by node.js, will be integrated to web easily.
its app is also good to do chat and text coin.
it has contracts.

but, please remember, guys.
there is only one dev in this proj.
this is centralized coin because of witness owned by one person.
the decision and direction of this coin is managed by one person, and there is no sign and trend this person will listen to the community.
all are the price, if you hold large numbers of byteball, you must learn that you are only an ant, the big elephant is the others especially ... , if the price comes up high and he sells before you, you will be let down.
This is very bad that only Tony is the one and only developer and the man behind this project. From what I know all witnesses are running by Tony. If something happens to him this will be the end of Byteball. Especially if there is not much information about Tony. Just think about this for a second. This is why decentralization is so powerful. When started could not be stopped for any reason and Byteball could be down next month if Tony disappears. This is a real thread for this project and until there is no backup plan I don't see mass adoption. Just my 2 cents.

I recently watched on Youtube Louis Thomas telling his viewers he is buying Byteball (see link below). His fundamental analysis has been impressive to date, and his explanation on why he liked Byteball makes sense. One key component I find interesting is its incredibly low supply of 1,000,000 coins, and a circulating supply of 645,000 coins. Of course, if the tech behind any coin is weak, then the supply doesn't matter much (I am not saying Byteball tech is weak). Furthermore, in 2017 we've seen that supply is not that important for a major rally (Ripple, Tron -4.35% , and a few other coins with multi-billions in supply have proven this). Second, Byteball's performance in relation to other tokens and coins in 2017 was really unimpressive. This is perhaps the most important reason I will likely stay away, as Byteball has been available to the public long enough to have been noticed by now, or at least much more than 600 mill in market cap by the 4th quarter of 2017 (current market cap is 180 mill). Third, the crypto market in general is in a state of possible breakdown and bear market, so any altcoin will need to be scrutinized much more heavily than 2017. However, I am a chartist at the end of the day, so if the price action displays close to what I indicated in the chart, I will be interested to own some.

Fair enough.
Do take into account that the price history per Gbyte on coinmarketcap does not reflect the returns of a byte holder due to the many airdrops that a byte holder received.
For example, coinmarketcap starts at value of 0.020 BTC per Gbyte on Dec 27th 2016 (=$20).
Today it stands at 0.026 BTC/Gbyte, so you could think return in Bitcoin value was only 30%.
However since then, every 1 byte owned received over the year an additional 3 bytes in airdrops I roughly estimate, for free.
Bringing the total return today at 4 Gbyte * 0.026 = 0.100 BTC, so 300% return expressed in BTC, instead of the 30% that it looks like on the chart, ie: 10 times more.
In USD 1 Gbyte is worth $230 today * 4 = $920, a 46x return!
And this is for those that bought their first Gbyte end 2016 when it started trading at $20, most got them for free in the first airdrop the weeks before and only invested mind and time.
Ofcourse, like in all crypto's, bytes have been a terrible investment for those that bought at the peaks, but for those that dollar cost averaged over it's life existence of now little over 1 year, it has been a tremendous investment still today.
This does not debunk your argument that total market cap for Byteball peaking out at only $600 million is not spectacular compared to many others, but for that I would refer to valuations in previous crypto bubble in 2013 or the dotcom bubble in 1999. Many coins and companies in top 30 end up dissapearing, while many that are barely seen in the rankings, end up taking the market after the bubble collapses.
It's all about real adoption, utility. Byteball is not there yet, but it certainly has it's focus right.
