[ANN] BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[CryptKeeper]

Please sir, my byteball app crashed and I cleared my app data, now I can view my wallet again, all byteball I have on the account just wiped off, please what will I do to restore my coin? Please help

I'm sorry to say that but without a backup file your coins will be lost! How did you clear your app data? That folder normally is out of reach for the user!

Distribution of bytes was finished several hours ago.

Total distributed: 66,208.049453060 GB.
New circulating supply: 255,491.918951297 GB (already updated on coinmarketcap).

The distributed amount is worth $47m at the current price.

Distribution of blackbytes is still under way, I'll post when it is finished.

Distribution of blackbytes is now finished too.

127,513.125794221 GBB distributed
12,258.687406134 GBB added to the community fund https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... ShVaWO060s

The next distribution is scheduled for the full moon of July: July 9, 2017 at 04:07 UTC, the rules stay the same:

BTC to bytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 62.5 MB (0.0625 GB)
BTC to blackbytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 2.1111 * 62.5 million blackbytes (money supply of blackbytes is 2.1111 times more than that of bytes)
Bytes to bytes: 1 byte on any Byteball address gives you 0.2 new bytes
Bytes to blackbytes: 1 byte on linked Byteball address gives you 0.42222 blackbytes

Putting this another way, to receive 1 GB from the distribution, you need to already hold 16 BTC or 5 GB.  These same holdings also give you 2.1111 GBB (giga-blackbyte).

I received my byteball distribution right on time on the 9th. It's nice to get free money.

Byteball Grants Program

Today we are launching Byteball Grants Program. We’ll pay for work that improves the ecosystem. We want the contributors to both come up with new ideas and realize them.

Similar programs have worked or are still working within other projects such as Dash and Ethereum and proved their success, e.g. Casper and MetaMask came out of Ethereum DEVgrants program.

The grants will be paid from our Community Fund which is funded by donations and undistributed blackbytes.

The process of awarding the grants will be as public and transparent as possible. Below are the rules, they might be amended in the future and evolve as we gain experience. If you have any ideas how to make the platform better and ready to do it yourself or with your team, feel free to apply.

Cryptocurrency Review: Byteball And Its Features

Byteball, a rather recent virtual currency, has been popping up everywhere on the web and in transactions. But how is it different from other cryptocurrencies?

Since the early 2000’s, cryptocurrency has been used for digital transactions all around the world. Although the original cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, which is still the most widely known today, there are over seven hundred other currencies – all of which have their own unique characteristics. Byteball, a rather recent virtual currency, has been popping up everywhere on the web and in transactions, and the question remains – what is Byteball and how is it different from other cryptocurrencies?

It's too complicated to understand fully for me.. Does everyone think this is such a good platform?

It's essentially free money for all those who hold Bitcoin. Whether it has long term value is yet to be decided, however, I cannot complain about the 1.5% return I get on my BTC.

Bro, did you even download the wallet? It's one of the simplest and easiest piece of software in crypto!

You can even create smart contracts like in ethereum without being a developer.

Have a look at Byteball's Smart Payments feature. It's like Ethereum's smart contracts without coding!
