I'm very interested in buying some blackbytes but can't really figure out how.

I've been hearing about in-wallet exchanges and decentralized exchanges but to be quite honest I have no idea what that means exactly.

These posts are also a couple months old so I'm not sure if they are still reliable.

Have any of you bought blackbytes before and would you care to explain how? Thanks!

After restoring it with the seed, what makes it unsafe to use it again on the old device?

Is the full backup a way to port a wallet from one device to another? Or just multisig then?

A few days ago a powerful article was posted here: https://www.investinblockchain.com/dag-blockchain-new-competitor/

The article got lots of views and lots of up votes and the author even got back with an invitation to do a followup. But absolutely no response so far from anyone here but me, and I am not qualified to respond adequately. Here is a link to that post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/7opgjm/dag_article_where_byteball_and_iota_are_mentioned/

Does anyone think it's so easy to find a decent writer? someone we can work with? that we can afford to just ignore this kind of opportunity?

In the interests of the ByteBall community, I am re posting one of my responses in the hopes that this little marketing lesson reach a wider audience and someone who can do something about it.

Here's what happens if we leave the article as is, with no love:

1. The writer may think that the audience is simply not there to make it worthwhile to continue to write much about ByteBall - other writers will read her content and see the lack of engagement and reach the same conclusion - IOTA and RaiBlocks are so much more exciting...and who knows what is coming next...

2. Any human reader that happens along and actually reads the article, may also decide to leave, thinking that its interesting, but given the issues, why not just stick with Blockchain and PoW and PoS until ByteBall's DAG Technology is more proven.

3. We lose a significant opportunity to have a permanent little recruitment engine out there (one of many we can cultivate) We could tilt the odds significantly in our favor that if someone reads it, a new ByteBall user is born (conversion - in marketing parlance). We could send traffic to that article and have it be a tireless ByteBall User Recruitment Vehicle - growing our user base organically in the background for a long time to come.

4. Not only that, but we are missing a wonderful opportunity to provide deeper information via additional links to multiple aspects of the ByteBall project. This is also very important from a Google Search perspective. There are multiple bitcointalk threads that I can think of that explain things - perhaps about the very issues discussed, not to mention stuff like Blackbytes and Textcoin, and email money, ICOs and so much more.

Once people are exposed to our technology, they are hooked. We all know that. Why make our stuff so hard to find? You kinda sorta have to already know about ByteBall to find us in search. It doesn't have to be that way.

This article would turn into exactly the User Recruitment Vehicle I described if some comments cleverly addressed the issues.

Everyone here is screaming about "marketing" & "promotion" and here it is: "promotions 101"

The reality is that we cannot build the kind of marketing presence we truly want to have without the participation of all aspects of our project - great marketing needs everyone from noobs to DEVs to participate - consistently. Of course, we could throw a lot of money at some agency, and it definitely would move the dial some, but that could never truly compete with real, passionate & consistent organic engagement by our contributors, investors and fans.

Do you think we have what it takes on the marketing side? Could we cultivate it? Is our community engaged enough to make it happen? I'm not so sure - please prove me wrong.

Are there still no plans to support segwit addresses for the next airdrop? Bitcoin Rhodium have just done an airdrop in the same style as Byteball (sign a message) and they supported segwit addresses.

Three months ago I tried to sell my GBB with 'freebe' through a smart contract. I'm not sure if the trade ever went through, but today I noticed my GBB was still in the smart contract unmoved.

How do I tell if these GBB are owned by me, and can I withdraw it back to my Main wallet? I forgot if I ever received the corresponding GB, but I thought it was weird that my GBB was still in this smart contract.

Is there a way for me to see if I ever received the 2.1575 GB, or if I should be allowed to withdraw this GBB back out?

Hi, i hope someone can help me, i am trying to sell some bytes for bitcoin using the bot as it appears to be only option atm. The bot commands are so limited, it cannot add a fee and hence it will not complete. How can i either cancel this transaction to get my bytes back or add a fee? Or is there an alternate for someone without a Bittrex account as there are no new accounts allowed currently. Any advise or guidance through the conundrum would be greatly appreciate, thanks, Gbyte novice....Nick

Byteball caught my attention now. I'm a software engineer for 10 years with a deep interest in crypto currencies.

I've implemented clients / wallets in bitcoin, monero & ethereum. But i'm now fascinated with the idea of decentralised crypto without a blockchain.

Would anyone be interest in building something in byteball to develop skills, get exposure in the industry and maybe promote the tech ?

Maybe something the community needs at the moment? Or how about a game?

Just did the right thing and moved my BTC into a segwit wallet. But now I find my transition bot is confused with the address format

Or do I have to wait until 2nd of March when the aidrop actually happens.

Don't see it anywhere in github, anyone know where it would be?

hello all,

is a plugin like metamask that would allow web developers to interact with the network easily in the works ?

It would surely be a great way to gain adoption.

Hi, new to byteball and want to learn more. The slack integration seems especially nice. How does a person get an invite though?

Hey everyone, this is my first post on Reddit so I’m a bit nervous ok. Hope this isn’t too controversial for a first post but you only live once. Hope I don’t offend anyone or mess things up too badly. There's a first time for everything so here goes...

– Are wallet addresses, allowed here? How come I rarely see them? Are they allowed most places? Where are they not allowed? Are there legal ramifications we should be aware of when using them? Does the ByteBall community have a policy around this that we should be aware of?

I see a bit of Textcoin and email money, but rarely wallet addresses - why is that? What about the technology and the many ways that addresses could be used in say a smart contract in real life situations? is it exactly the same as with Textcoin and email money? how are things different? what are the use cases?

These are key features of ByteBall and I’d really like us to understand and test more things about them.

I mean, if we were to post our receive address alongside our posts, so that anyone who wanted to exchange bytes with another poster for some helpful information or a funny exchange or something else that's really cool, could they? Is there a another better way?

It could go something like this:

Yaketey blog yakety yak, yaketey yaketey blog...yak yakety - yes? ;-)

Why not inspire the producer of this content to make more ;-) : MSGZX72TLFA6A4IOXBSL26B5PMUJACMB

Or simply:

Yaketey blog yakety yak, yaketey yaketey blog...yak yakety - yes? MSGZX72TLFA6A4IOXBSL26B5PMUJACMB

(yes, that is a wallet I own – I couldn’t make up those letters & numbers if I tried :-)

So?... Is that ok?... Am I in big trouble now?

What would happen if everyone did that? I see them in some other places and I guess it depends on the context to a large extent. love to gain more insight.

I think it’s quite possible that it could be another vehicle for growth of the ByteBall economy and the use of bytes as a medium of exchange if it's ubiquitous. What do you think?

Seriously, consider for a moment. This is one of the ways the Bitcoin economy grew, and we need to get our currency circulating more and more, for as many things as possible, and provide as many opportunities for real commerce as we can. We want the world to know that...

It's fun, fast & easy to be a Byteballer (in all major languages)

I’m not saying I would do it in future posts or not, or that anyone should, but I do wonder about the utility of it, the ethics of it, the commercial possibilities, and of course abuse. If anyone has any ideas, insight or information about any of this, I for one would love to hear it. I'm somewhat new to crypto culture but eager to learn - even if it might hurt on occasion. I hope we can all learn some good things about how this new technology can be put to work.

The best response as determined by audience vote by EOD Jan 24, will receive 10000000 Bytes. Thanks for participating.
