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.
