Topic: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments - page 48. (Read 1234317 times)

I have today update for you guys:
- The price chart has still shown good indicators for future growth: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/obyte/
- Volume has been nearly tailed off.
- Current price worths around 5% since the all time high.

---

I have a suggestion to Obyte team, someone should be in charge to keep the topic clean.
It looks trashy by now.
I love Obyte (former Byteball) and its simplified features.

Things are looking bright for Obyte price-wise. Today it is testing price resistance around $40 - $42. If it goes to test $47 resistance, we might really see an end to the long bear market of Obyte.

Asking somebody from public chat would not be very private either. I don't know where these people meet.
I have heard that some people make their own one-on-one chats within the wallet app by just sharing the pairing code in some other app. Some even use TOR when doing that.
There is even Private chat room bot where more people can be chatting with other, but I don't know access to these channels either - that chat is readable by developer, but one-on-one chats aren't.

I got it. Where i can find individual persons who will sell service or goods for gbb? Is there chat?

That wouldn't be really private then if I could point to that kind of list. It's up to buyer and seller to agree on the price and medium of exchange. I don't go to dark web, so I don't know where you can find them. Blackbytes is meant more for individual persons transacting with each other, not with bigger merchants. If you still don't get it, you should read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hiding-entire-content-of-on-chain-transactions-1574508

It's not announced yet, which is a new TOP10 exchange.

It's up to exchange to list it as GBYTE or MBYTE, but since it's GBYTE on CMC, all exchanges list it as GBYTE too, to avoid confusion.
If you change GBYTE to MBYTE on CMC then total supply won't be anymore displayed as 1,000,000 GBYTE, but 1,000,000,000 MBYTE.
Also, exchanges are like wholesales, where people trade in bulk, so highest unit makes sense for them.
What opportunity was last year? It's has been over year long bear market and most coin prices follow BTC.

Do you understand that if a person sends value to a person, then he expects to receive value in return? It can be other sov (in case of travel or investing in better sov), goods, services.
Can you show me list of persons (usually they called merchants) who exchange their value (preferably online services, marijuana dealers, electronics distributors) on gbb?

What ever service between 2 people who need privacy, that coin is meant for transaction from person to person, not from person to merchant.

what's the big exchange?

also why not change the unit of Gbyte to Mbyte ?

i think that's will make this coin become more popular...

the coin missed the good opportunity last year, i hope Obyte can take the opportunity this year!
i still believe in this coin and hope this coin have a big future.

Sure. Ultimate goal of this exchange is getting access to services. Pay the taxi, buy food, pay rent of room.
If sellers do not accept their national currency, then I do not need it, right? I need currency that they accept.  Otherwise is just a used paper, useless thing.
When you say people can exchange their coins on GBB, i ask what for? Which services can be paid with it?

Now you got stuck with the "currency" term. Cryptocurrencies are more that just currencies and it takes time before they are more widely accepted than USD, which is not accepted everywhere either.
If you have traveled to other country, that doesn't accept USD, then you should know, this is how even fiat currencies work - if your destination country doesn't accept your candy wrappers, then you exchange it to their candy wrappers in currency exchange.

Currency that can't be spend is not a currency.
tarmo888 - you can exchange your eth on btc, btc on gb, gb on gbb
diyhockey - ok, what for?
tarmo888 - in order to convert them to another currency whatever currency the merchant accepts
Reminds me of how my government works lol

Again the merchants, merchants, merchants. Getting old already.
Merchants already have currency they are fine with, they accept the fiat currency that's official in your country.
Cryptocurrencies have much more use cases than just trading it for goods.
Blackbytes are meant to be traded P2P, so if one centralized merchant would have most of the volume of blackbytes then it weakens its privacy features.
There are exchanges for bytes and exchange for blackbytes. Convert bytes/blackbytes to whatever currency the merchant accepts.

Let's be honest there is no any know markets accepted GBB. People can't use money if merchants do not accept their money.

So, which is it then? No product or bad UI or lack of users?

Sports betting bot is not function, it's product. Additionally to the chat UI, it also has web UI. https://bb-odds.herokuapp.com/
The functions that it is uses are: chatbot, smart-contracts, sports oracle, payments to smart-contract and payments to bot.
If you don't like the odds or the liquidity, offer better ones, it's P2P, so the odds depends what people offer.
There are tons of events available, most events get the odds 2-3 days before the event, but if you think that you would risk to offer some odds earlier then DO IT.

Flight insurance is also not a function, it's a product. It's only as bot. I get it, you don't like chatbot UI, but that doesn't mean it's bad UI.
The functions that it use are the same as Sports betting bot.

There were ICOs, the fact that there is currently no ongoing ones doesn't change that fact. It's a product when somebody makes the ICO and uses also many Obyte built-in functions.

Private tokens can be exchanged on Freebe exchange, that's not a function either, that's a product built using Obyte functions. Nobody cares and knows what people you use those privacy tokens for.

Your own tokens - use your imagination, but I guess you don't have one because you can only criticize others. Seems like you know very well what is good UX, DO IT then.

An ecosystem is not only a function but also an end product. Functions are needed to developers. Users need a product. Basically, everything you listed has either a crappy UX, as in the case of
* do P2P sports betting - bad UI, bad odds, low liquidity, limited number of events, currency is constantly losing value
* get P2P flight insurance -  bad UI
 or the product is missing, as in the case of
* take part of other ICOs - there is no ICOs.
* buy private tokens and transact with those - there is no usage for private tokens
* create your own token - what for? Another scam? The token must have a value proposition

So, they have to keep coming up with same news "we still accept bytes"? That's odd logic.

No ecosystem? What is this then? Do you even have a wallet installed or you keep all your cryptocurrencies on exchange?

nobody wants to make ICO on Obyte. There is still huge volume on ethereum

fine, sad that Obyte don't have own ecosystem   As for milano i doubt it's still work. No news over year

If for you, only "merchants accepting" equals to "use case" or "adoption" then obviously you are holding a wrong currency in your hand. Even exchanging that into BTC would not help you much in that. Maybe stick to fiat candy wrappers, which is accepted everywhere in your country.

Cryptocurrencies a foremost internet currency, so it will get adopted within it's own ecosystem fist and then maybe internet merchants. Maybe never in physical merchants all over the world, but Obyte already has some in Milan.

"no ICO accepted bytes? What, of course they did. There is no ongoing one at the moment, but there is low interest of ICOs during the bear market too. So, can't blame that nobody wants to make a ICO at the moment.

Agreed. But this does not change the fact that there are practically no merchants accepted bytes. No ico's accepted bytes. And the saddest thing is that there is not even a hint that it will happen.
