Now you can short any coin without owning it, simply by betting that its price goes below certain level. Being a binary option, this contract also limits your loss (you can’t lose more than you paid) and includes an implicit take-profit (no risks after the price breaks the set level).

You can actually do better than this with price oracles. You can issue collateralized loans. You can peg a token to any real world asset or basket of assets by backing it with equivalent amount of collateral in bytes or other crypto.

I guess there is some trust involved that the collateral holder won't run away with the collateral?

What is the pairing code of the CoinMarketCap oracle?

It doesn't accept pairing requests.
What for?

I am just playing a little bit around with Byteball and I am wondering if there is an API I can use to access DAG data on localhost? Couldn't find any information on the web.

There is no documentation yet but you can read the DAG data by accessing the sqlite database directly. You can learn something about its structure from https://github.com/byteball/byteballcore/blob/master/byteball-sqlite.sql

Do I understand this correctly that to use this betting feature one must find:

1. some other user eager to be a counterparty to the betting contract
2. find out the other user's device address
3. pair the wallet with the other user's device
4. start a chat and set up a contract as described in the medium post

If that's correct we need some community forums to find possible counterparty users to bet with.

Correct. (2) and (3) is achieved by exchanging a pairing code.

As an alternative to Cryptox.pl you could try to use the Bitcoin oracle in order to exchange Bitcoin and Byteballs with someone else. Of course it is not an exchange replacement but it is a new save way to trade.

Version 1.7.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

This version enables prediction markets based on P2P smart contracts. See https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-episode-iii-prediction-markets-f40d49c0abab

Now you can bet on (or hedge against) any events and get paid if the event happens. One type of events that is already working today is events based on exchange rates of crypto coins and major fiat currencies.

You are welcome to add new oracles that post other real-world events and enable prediction markets based on these events.

Other updates:
* New translations thanks to community members: Hungarian, Swedish, Polish. Dutch translation improved.
* Multiple small improvements and bugfixes

If you are running a full wallet, the upgrade is mandatory. The new version extends the smart contract language. As soon as the new language constructs are used for the fist time, old nodes will not recognize them and will be stuck until upgraded.

Thanks for the update! Nice release

Great Job! Nice release!

I must admit that cryptox.pl is quite small and not well known yet, but proved to be a reliable exchange!

Any complaints were taken seriously by the staff and were resolved within a reasonable timeframe, as I've read in user comments on our slack.

I have no serious complaints about cryptox.pl, but it's a single point of failure. If it gets hacked it will seriously affect confidence in byteball. A hacker could get a big percentage of the existing byteball distribution. If byteball was on more exchanges it would dilute the number of coins a hacker could steal.

Hey everyone, thanks for helping out. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Light version as recommended by CryptKeeper and this time the bot worked perfect!

In fact, it seems that older messages were displayed, even responding to an earlier response (which was to post my wallet address) so perhaps the Bot caught up to my old messages... which didn't display earlier.

Appreciate the assistance all!

I think no, because you need to prove that the bitcoin address is yours.

Im not talking about for transitioning, just for buying and selling.

Have a wee issue I hope you can help with.

Wish I could have done all my linking before (I even helped promote byteball through the signature campaign) but I am finally with the resources to do so, ie. laptop and Internet that are mine.

I have installed the Windows wallet and tried clicking on the Chatbot link at byteball.org, it opens my wallet Chat section but there is no conversation to start with the linking process. Tried putting in my wallet address too but received no response. Been trying for a day and now turning to the forums for help. Thanks in advance!

The transition bot is working OK for me, please retry!

Get the latest wallet version from https://byteball.org and let it sync fully (or use light wallet, syncs a lot faster).

Yes it works right for me either, i have windows and android, both versions working fine
