Would I still receive extra coins if I do not link BTC wallet's address, but have some byteballs in my byteball wallet?
Little addition -to keep you (every Newbie) from anger and disappointment
1.To get new bytes, it is sufficient to hold bytes at an arbitrary BB address - nothing to do
2.To get also
blackbytes, it is necessary that this
BB-address is linked.
Linked means the address is known to the bot.
The bot knows an address, when the BB-address is linked to one or more Bitcoin address(es).
Whether the Bitcoin address is empty or contains a value does not matter. Note "purchased bytes":
If someone buys bytes and never linked a BTC address, he will receive only new bytes!
It is not possible in this case to distribute blackbytes (private currency). According to point 2 you have to link the BB address to receive also Blackbytes.
Note "Address change"
Maybe you are an active trader, at each transaction the Bytes will jump around between the BB-addresses (same as in a BTC-wallet).
In this case, before the snapshot, you have to make sure that the BTCs (to receive Bytes) and the bytes
(to receive also Blackbytes) are consolidated on an arbitrary linked addresses.
Therefore, there is always the hint to chat with the bot just before the snapshot (to check the balance).
