I don't think if you have many bitcoin addresses linked to many byteball addresses that you need to consolidate them in a unique byteball address in order to receive the corresponding blackbytes in the second distribution, nor that it would be more convenient to do so.
Am I correct tonych?
Not tonych speaking ^^ but yes you are correct, blackbytes will be transferred to all the linked byteball addresses, it might be convenient for some people to have only one address and for others to have many

.
But even if I am correct why the transition bot shows the many byteball linked addresses, their balances and then inform: "Move your bytes to one of the linked addresses in order to maximize the amount of blackbytes you receive"?
This only implies moving bytes to linked addresses to get blackbytes I guess. Maybe it should be rephrased "to one or more" or "to
one of the linked addresses" ...
"Maximize" here means only account for some dust you won't receive because of rounding problems etc. or you risk loosing many of the blackbytes you'd otherwise receive if you'd consolidated in one of the linked byteball addresses?
This could be a good interpretation especially since the testnet distribution didn't take small balances into account ... Anyway if you have any
dust then move it to an address with a bigger balance.
