I've updated the topic with the currect (much higher) Byteball price.
Only 1 day left to join for this month.
When is your own personal deadline? (A time that you can confidently say messages will be read by)
The 9th would be a safe estimate.
LoyceV have you noticed any funny business on your machine after you have installed the Byteball wallet?
From the OP:
I have the client running in a virtual machine to ensure no rogue wallet can compromise my system.
The Android version of the Byteball wallet wants access to my Identity, my full profile and account data. I don't know what to think of that

Most Android apps want way too much access. I don't use it on Android.
