Hi, I installed Byteball wallet on my laptop on the 2nd airdrop (I linked my btc address). Then I was abroad and forgot that.
Now when I open it ask me to upgrade. Is there any specific procedure to do before?

Although it's already recommended that you make a full backup often, the answer is no.

There is nothing special to be done.  You only need to run the installer.  The software is installed in a different directory than the wallet data.  So, you're safe and nothing else needs to be done or converted, etc.

Is there exact block number or exact time when the 4th November Snapshot will happen? And also, how many bytes will be distributed?
November 4, 2017 at 05:23 UTC, depending how much linked BTC (http://transition.byteball.org). and GB.

The snapshot is the first block solved after the full moon.
It was always fun to watch the idiots that couldn't read try to play the market by dumping their bytes seconds after the full moon thinking they were going to beat out everyone else in dumping.  Then only to find out the bitcoin block wasn't solved yet so they lost out on the 10% bonus.  They then came here and slack to complain they were screwed.

I can't wait for the next distribution to happen to laugh again.

So, the snapshot is the first block after the full moon.   Wouldn't it be funny if this was changed to the second block or if there was a reorg on the bitcoin blockchain?

What is this??
Some small event the developer of Byteball is participating in and talking a bit about his invention.Great! Spread the word, this is good.
But do you really think this will make any big difference in terms of the price??
I say no!
The big guys will continue playing with byteball. When they think it's time to pump, they will pump. When it's time to dump they will dump. If they wanna keep the price low and tight, that's what you'll have to deal with. If you like it or not.
DAG or not, won't make any significant difference in terms of value for quite some time imo.
So this "mic drop"-thing is just plain dumb and embarrassing.

Are you generally this sour in life? Do you think just in terms of the "price"? Don't you believe in showcasing a project/product/company at a meetup like this and getting exposure among the startup and investor community? Have you ever founded or been a founding member of a startup or atleast attended any such conferences? Do you know how the networking at these startup/business events works? Do you know how many investors and entrepreneurs attend these? Do you know how many developers go to these events to find out more about latest innovations and technologies and are looking to be a part of the innovative startups?

Who said anything about the price? If you don't understand the bigger picture, just ask! Just don't embarrass yourself further! If you still don't get it and want to know more, just dm me!

Technically, it looks like the bottom is in for now, although I would wait until the price stays above .04 to be sure. Three consecutive daily green candles and approaching two weeks of staying above 0.03 after hitting it, with moderate volume and moderate/growing buy side of the orderbook. 80 BTC market sell makes the price -33% from .036 whereas 80 BTC market buy takes the price +66% from .036.

Appreciate it, CryptKeeper!

That I can do, but won't the wallet need to be fully synced to successfully complete the send? I was under the impression that creating a send transaction would slow down the sync process even more.

It's been about a month since I've been synced up, so I don't want to slow this down any more than I have to Smiley

Let me know, man.....

peace!

To restore the twelve-words seed, you don’t have the original wallet to be synced. But sending out Blackbytes with a not fully synced wallet could be a problem. I guess Michail1 knows more about it!  Wink

Basically, you're going to have to let it sync to make sure you also have all your bytes (both bytes and blackbytes).

My suggestion though (since you're only running the node every once in a while (so no reason to run full node)) is to let it sync and then go through the process of converting to a lite wallet.  There is a couple of ways to do this (in order to save your black bytes).    You probably want to retain your addresses since they're registered for airdrops or other reasons and this can be done as well --- accomplished easier with another device.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.
Nice idea but far too much work for a temporary thing. There's no upside for wallet developers.

They can point to wallet signing and that'll be enough

Effort would be better spent getting everyone to agree on a SegWit message signature algorithm and then getting everyone to implement it system wide.

I think if Byteball could be claimed in our bitcoin wallets it could be a great idea and more bitcoin and ETH holders would join, blockchain.info
Now has a section for claiming bitcoin cash, that could be the same thing with Byteball. You need to talk with the major web wallets and other wallet developers to make this happen.

I need to update my client and have a look but from reading the release notes and other peoples reviews/comments on here it is unsurprising that it is work of the highest quality.

I have one question. I have tried to link my BTC address for the upcoming airdrop event in November but the bot keeps giving me an error. The BTC is in a new SEGWIT address (starting 3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...) and I don't think this is currently compatible.

Is there any intention to correct this and make this work in the future or will I have to move my BTC to an older legacy address? (I am relucant to pay the BTC transaction fee - extortionate given the amount of BTC I have - very little, but will do it if I have to)

Thanks in advance for your responses
Currently there is no standard for message signatures with SegWit addresses.  There was a proposal and trezor implemented it but then backed out the feature because the proposal did not become a standard.

So, this is not a ByteBall issue.  It is a SegWit issue.

Until a standard is defined and is implemented system wide you will need to move your BTC to a legacy address in order to be able to sign a message.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised that somebody plays the lucky lottery.
I thought It's useless, but seems I was wrong
