I made a backup of my byteball wallet by copying the byteball directory and its contents not by generating wallet backup(did not work with my client).

To import this old wallet do I just copy the contents into the new byteball directory?

There is, when you installed byteball it asked if you want light or full wallet, you chose full wallet. If you want light wallet, install on a VM or another machine byteball again, choose light wallet this time, send your balance there, backup, uninstall your full wallet on first PC, then install again to light wallet and move lightwallet backup to first PC.

yes, I've noticed this problem as well when loading up the wallet.

Would be nice if there was a light wallet for use ...

wallet sync is extremely slow, I sync'ed two days and it's barely from may to july, now half day at around july 10-12. Performance is a big issue.

I see! Thank you for your answer!

Also, sorry for the newbie question, but should the chat with the bot start around half an hour before 18:10 UTC, so that you don't miss the snapshot?

Hi guys,

I have a question and sorry if this has already been answered.
It says on the website that

For every 16 BTC you receive 1 GB (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes),
For every 5 GB you receive additional 1 GB.

for the last round i already received the byteball from the linked BTC addresses, now does that mean this round i will also receive the same amount of byteball if i have the same amount of BTC linked? and also receive a further 1GB for every 5GB i have linked?

Desktop wallets can be full nodes (will take a while syncing with the network after the first start) or light nodes.

Great to know that there are still going to be a few more airdrops to come.
Looking forward to some nice compounded returns on my Byteball.
Holding on tight to these.

I agree with that. People should withdraw their bitcoins from there.

Guys, don't buy high from these parasites on aug 7.

In the past month, Bixin has sent giveaways from the Stellar and Byteball team which worth more than one million USD to our users and thus has gained an excellent reputation.

Maybe a misunderstanding




There are two ways to participate in this distribution:
A. You link Bitcoin which you own or borrowed
B. You buy some Bytes (not Blackbytes !) or get them from a third party and have to link them (It is necessary to link the Bytes to receive also Blackbytes).

So there is no need to link an address where only blackbytes are located!
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution, so their price (currently) is much lower.

To link a specific BB-address, send the BB-address to the bot via copy paste, then he will ask for the associated BTC address...
Linkin means to create a pairing from a BTC and one or more BB addresses: BB address <-> BTC address .
Once the BB-address is assigned to any BTC-address (can also be empty) this BB-address is linked.
(It is not about to send  a BB address anywhere or register it somewhere.)

The other way is, simply follow the bot dialog and then consolidate your bytes (not Blackbytes !) on the linked BB address. (The bot tells you the corresponding BB-address)

Summary:
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution.
To link Bytes, you always need also a BTC address (..to make a pairing BB-address<->BTC-adress ...that's what we call linking).
The BTC-address can also be empty, the amounts on the BB address are then taken into account when the blackbytes are distributed (Bytes -> Blackbytes)
The linking of Bytes is only necessary to receive blackbytes as the blackbytes can not be distributed without linking due to their private properties.
If you try to assign a BTC address to several BB addresses, the BTC address is blacklisted.
