I never received blackbytes from last distribution. I'm 100% certain I had properly linked a BTC adress with BTC in it, and a Byteball adress with Bytes in it. I confirmed this with the transition bot.

Everything seems okay on your side. Generally, there are always people missing blackbytes from the distribution, some cases of non distribution still remain unknown though (afaik). Do you remember doing anything uncommon with your wallet? Regardless of the cause, given the fact that all seems well set, you'll have to contact Tony so that he can re-send the blackbytes.

Thanks for your answer.

Prior to the distribution, I did a full backup in my windows wallet. Then installed android wallet and loaded from backup. Then tried to connect both devices via the "add a new device" option. It didn't seem to work. Maybe I screwed something up doing this?

I think i prefer to lose my blackbytes rather than bothering the main developer with newbie problems =)

You are welcome.

So you ran two wallets with the same data at the same time (one on your computer and one on your phone). Cases like this where users loaded from back up and had two devices running on the same data have been reported to affect blackbytes' distribution.

On one hand, it would be beneficial for Byteball to report those cases in order to try and prevent them from happening in the future. On the other, re-sending the blackbytes is as simple as clicking on re-send private payloads button in the specific transaction that sent to your address Wink (only Tony can do that).
