I've been told that our Android app can connect through TOR, despite what I previously believed.  And it is quite easy to set up.

1. Install Orbot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android

2. Start Orbot, enter the left menu, and enable Apps VPN Mode.  You will be presented the list of apps, tick the checkbox next to Byteball.

The next time you start Byteball app, it’ll connect through TOR.

This forum post will not be easy to find, I put up the how-to on Medium: https://medium.com/byteball-help/how-to-enable-tor-in-byteball-android-app-38cb1605a51d

I was already using it I tried with the latest release. Works like a charm.

Byteball will be huge because this technology is the newest one without blockchain, a big boom of innovation. Yeah, moon time.

And without the problems Bitcoin is having Wink Cool

Too early to say this, let's see what will happen when the number of BB transactions explode

Why on earth would u choose ubuntu? Unity and ubuntu do suck ass. Havent ever in my life seen an OS uglier than fucking ubuntu.

It feels strange to defend ubuntu (I mostly agree with your view) but I recently started using it myself. Not unity of course, which is thankfully discontinued but lubuntu, which I have on a VM.

The reason is simply support. Whatever wallet I decide to compile or any other linux app will definitely include instructions for a ubuntu LTS. Not debian, not centos, not arch nor any other distro I have used in the past.

Sure in theory we could just install the equivalent packages on the other distro but it's rarely that simple and things often go wrong unless you are an expert and really know what you are doing

https://byteball.fr hub has been updated to support 1.8.0 (including new Android push notification service).

To get the feature point your wallet to our hub. Go in your wallet settings → hub and set byteball.fr/bb as your default hub.

Version 1.8.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

In this release:

1. Option to save chat history. It is done in the most privacy-centric way: chat history is saved only if both parties agree, and the setting can be changed in the middle of the conversation.  If at least one of the parties doesn't want the history to be saved, it is discarded when the app is closed (of course it can still be saved manually by copying and pasting).


2. Push notifications for chats / received payments on Android.  What's important, even alternative hubs can send push notifications, which makes us even better decentralized than Signal.  Alternative hub operators, please follow instructions at https://github.com/byteball/byteball-hub#push-notifications-for-android to enable push for your clients.



3. Ability to remove chat correspondents unless they are part of a multisig address or smart contract (thanks @vakar!)

4. Improved French and Portuguese translations

5. Fixed a validation bug that caused crashes while syncing for many users.

Because of the above bugfix, upgrade is mandatory for all full clients.

I am happy to say that 2 of 5 above items were contributed by community members.

I'm migrating from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 16.04. My Byteball data files from Windows won't work with Byteball on Ubuntu. I can import my seed on Ubuntu to access my Bytes, but without importing the data file I cannot access my BlackBytes.

The stupid dirty-hack solution would be to send them from one device to another. If it's the same computer you're using, maybe use some old smartphone or whatever as a relay?

I'm pretty sure, there is a better way, though, so use this only if you are in a hurry Grin

It's not a dirty hack solution it's what I would do the first when migrating to another OS. Go to ur ubuntu wallet, generate an address, write it on ur forehead, go to ur windows wallet and send coins to that address. Use mirror to read the address from ur forehead. Why on earth would u choose ubuntu? Unity and ubuntu do suck ass. Havent ever in my life seen an OS uglier than fucking ubuntu.

Can anybody help me pls?  Undecided

First everything worked well, but the syncing needed 15+ hours so meanwhile i tried to install a second time to start the lightwallet. After that, suddenly nothing worked anymore. I tried to install and uninstall several times, but suddenly i always get this error after a few seconds:

Uncaught exception: Error: known bad
...... (many letters and numbers)
authentifier verification failed


I use:
macOS Sierra 10.12.4

Thanks!

Try pointing your wallet to byteball.fr/bb (in wallet settings/hub)

is that better than default hub?

It is an alternative hub (peered to default). The error means your default hub is down or too busy.

I'm having the same error (using 1.7.1), even after I changed the hub, any idea?

1.8.0 is coming soon, it'll fix the issue.

Thank god, this error gave me headaches! How ssoon can we expect it?
