I have a question I linked one of my btc add to the byteball android app than I linked my other one to the linux wallet how long does it take for them two show up on http://transition.byteball.org/ thanks

Currently, that page is frozen with the balances and linked addresses used for the first round, so for now it is not getting updated. I think it might be the time to unfreeze it and/or maybe keep that state in a separate page: transition.byteball.org/firstround.html for instance, and update the main page with the current links.

Thanks for the suggestion, now the transition page updates again, and the balances used in the 1st round are moved to transition.byteball.org/firstround.html.

All of the tech differences aside, I guess that is the actual biggest difference between IOTA and Byteball Grin

wat? Byteball is cool (I own quite a bit of both) but Iota is really far along with corporate interest, Foundation (funds), exchanges, etc.. Byteball is great but has a long way to go to catch up to Iota on the real world front.

Thats right, IOTA is much ahead of Byteball in terms of adoption. But then, IOTA had more than a year to do that, right?
Ok, I agree that is one more big difference

But I am sure with bright and positive leader who doesn't put people off, Byteball has bigger chances to catch up this year. Though they are not competitors anyway.

They could be competitors, I see no good reason why we couldnt port Byteball to ESP8266 or ESP32, there are module versions of that thing with more than 16MB flash - enough to hold a light wallet and some data. There is already a Javascript firmware for it called Espruino. ESP8266 is anyway the king of IoT, with WiFi, esp32 has bluetooth (is also dual-core), and can do TLS. All in that chip for price of $2 its amazing.

Byteball would blow Iota out of the water on that thing - since it doesnt have PoW to waste precious cycles and battery on - an esp8266 could run for months on two AA batteries, waking up every few minutes to send-transaction and deliver sensor data, or both as part of a byteball smart transaction. All from a wifi-enabled chip smaller than your thumb.

Maybe this is why Iota leadership is so horny on censoring and deleting my posts.

I think they are deleting your posts just because they are more interested in their project, not in Byteball. It is not really welcome to hijack some other project discussion threads, and aggressively promote third-party project, while bashing their own one. Their reaction is pretty normal. Don't you think so?

IOTA has some great community members, and few great developers, they are doing their thing and doing it well. First of all, they do the adoption thing, promotion, find good advisors and create real-world connections. That alone gives that project a great value.

Even if (note the if) Byteball is superior in many aspects, IOTA has a lot on the table, it is not going to be replaced with Byteball, and would be wise not to try to attack them without any need

If your plan is to attract people from IOTA community to work on Byteball, then probably you chose not the best tactics...

Back to the main topic. It sounds interesting.. Did you measure the performance of Byteball? What makes you belueve it is lightweight enough to be put on such a low-end microcontroller?

Actually this raises a good question: what is the min resource requirement to run Byteball wallet?
(in terms of CPU power, RAM, Storage).

Yeah, but its one thing to delete my posts where they are moderators in their own Iota thread. Another to delete my own threads.

And its okay to delete my posts if I was spamming, but merely questioning the value and technology behind Iota, comparing it to similar technology, the only other DAG-based coin, asking questions and then deleted is a bit too Stalin-like for my taste. They should be able to respond to any attempted bashing of their precious Iota, unless of course, they also realize its vaporware-shit and only has a good marketing campaign going for it right now.

BTW, my plan isnt to attract anyone to anything, my plan is to discuss and learn new things, and encourage others to learn and improve, and select the best technologies for scalable cryptocurrencies.

Anyway, back to topic. a full GUI wallet is using 38MB resident memory, so it looks good on that front to put it on a microcontroller.

That would be good I was going crazy thinking it was just me thanks for the update
