Im going to try for the first time ever getting some Byteball in the airdrop and I have a question: What happens if you do the transition bot thing and send the address before the actual airdrop starts? Is there a queue and I can send it already before it begins, or if I try to do it now before it starts it will get rejected and prompt you an error like "wait for the airdrop period to start".
I just watn to be sure that I dont lose my BTC. I will try to send it as soon as the countdown on the website goes to 0 but just in case I send it 1 second earlier, I want to know what would happen.
you need to do it ASAP
You aren't answering his question. ASAP means as soon as possible AFTER the countdown on the website goes to 0? or ASAP at any time?
WHAT happens if you send it before it goes to 0?
It's my first time here too, and I got these doubts, and also this:
If we send our entire wallet into a single byteball address, is this bad for privacy and we should use 1 different byteball address for each bitcoin address we have? (similar to bitcoin, where you should never reuse 1 address, but get a different address for every transaction you make)
You need to link your byteball wallet to your BTC address/es BEFORE the countdown finishes. At that point a snapshot will be taken of the bitcoin blockchain and the amount of BTC you have that you linked to will be credited at a rate of 0.0625 GB per 1 BTC.
After this point you would have missed the snapshot and hence the airdrop on this round.
You may only link 1 byteball address to qualify. You don't need to send BTC at all you can just sign each address.
You aren't replying my privacy concern.
Do I need to generate a new byteball address for each signed BTC address right? otherwise, I would link my entire wallet to a single byteball address... not a good idea.
I tested right now with an address where I have 0.1 BTC. I signed the address with my Bitcoin Core full node, and put the signature on the Transition Bot chat thing.
I then wanted to add more BTC addresses, so I generated a new byteball address, then clicked on the "Chat with the Transition Bot" thing on the website to start again the signing process, and I get a message like this:
Hello again! Your current linked Bitcoin address is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX .
Please make sure that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is indeed your address and move all your coins to this address. You receive x.xxxx GB and xxx,xxx,xxx blackbytes for each 1 BTC of the total balance of this Bitcoin address on August 7.
Current balance of this address is 0.1 BTC.
For the bytes you hold on August 7 you receive x.x new byte for each 1 byte of your balance, even if your bytes are not on linked Byteball addresses.
You also receive x.xxxxx blackbytes for each 1 byte of your balance on the linked Byteball address, which currently is:
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY: 0 GB.
Move your bytes to the linked address in order to maximize the amount of blackbytes you receive.
You are expected to receive x.xxxxxx GB and x.xxxxxxxxx giga-blackbytes (GBB). x:xx PM
How do I sign more addresses then? I just keep getting this message. Also, I clicked on "RECIEVE"->"GENERATE NEW ADDRESS" and now I have a different address, so im not sure if I control the previous address anymore?
Should I have created a new "Wallet" instead of clicking ""GENERATE NEW ADDRESS"? Did I lose the address that I was supposed to receive the byteballs from?
And what does that message that im getting (the Hello again! one) even mean?
Does this program really expect me to send my entire BTC history into a single address because the program doesn't let you enter multiple different addresses? that sounds like a joke to me.
Yeah I am in the same boat as you. We were suppose to send all our btc to a single address and sign a message for byteballs with that address or send small sum from it. Happily for me it was only 0.3 that was split between few addresses.
