Thank you.
Thanks. My Jaxx wallet is showing -0.001455 with mining fee of -0.000678. The transaction for this is showing sent to the address which Byteball specified. The address which I provided to Byteball for this transaction, which Jaxx originally gave me to say was the address of where my 2 Bitcoins are stored, is as of today, showing a different address. Your words of "got moved to a "change" address in your wallet. So you still have your BTC..." sounds like its somewhere still in my Jaxx wallet on my computer? I really wish, as I would try to send it again, if I could see this. As of today, my Jaxx wallet is definitely showing a final balance of 2.06426730 from the original 2.0664003 prior to having the 0.001455 & 0.000678 figures deducted and sent to Byteball. From this, I'm not understanding how to "send your bitcoins BACK to the address you originally linked"? I really don't understand this, please help. When and how the address that I provided, from what the Jaxx wallet said was the address of my 2 bitcoins and I gave to Byteball, to what the address is as of looking at my Jaxx wallet today, I don't know.

To get bytes you just have to proof ownership of bitcoins. You don't have to pay anyone anything. To proof ownership you have two options:

Sign a message (I definitely recommend this option), or
Send an exact small amount to a specified address. This is not really a payment. It just proves ownership because you need to control the address to be able to send that exact amount to that specific address

Unfortunately you chose the second option.

You really have to understand how a bitcoin wallet works. On your wallet you have several addresses:

ADD1
ADD2
ADD3

and several change addresses:

CHG1
CHG2
CHG3

(Some wallets hide a little the change addresses so sometimes it's difficult to realize those are your addresses too)

You own and control all of these addresses and the balance shown on your wallet is the addition of all those addresses' balance.

When you make a transaction you can't send the exact amount you want to. You have to send an amount you received before. One part goes to the address you specified (the one the byteball wallet gave you) and the difference goes to your own change address. For example:

You received 2BTC to your ADD1
You need to send 0.001455 to the address given by byteball, lets call it BYTE
You send 2BTC (because you have to send the whole amount). 0.001455 goes to BYTE, and the difference (minus the fee) goes to your change address CHG1

Note now ADD1 has a balance of 0 (zero). Your coins now are on CHG1, not on ADD1.

The byteball wallet can't know that CHG1 is yours too. It received proof only for ADD1. Therefore it says you have 0 bitcoins because ADD1 does have 0 bitcoins.

Now, your options are:

Proof ownership of CHG1 by signing a message, or
Send your 2 BTC back to ADD1

If you let us know what is your original bitcoin address (ADD1) then we can check what's your change address.

Thank you very much also; this is making a whole lot more sense now working this through. Jaxx seemingly does not display change address from what I can see, but I could be wrong being new to this.

Thanks.
