The snapshot for round 8 has been taken: block 479537.

Byte distribution will start in a few hours!

Isn't it influenced by the eclipse? Cheesy

Is this an official confirmation?

Yes.

Block 479537 was it (UNLESS there is a reorg. Enough blocks have happened though to prevent even this issue as well).

Wow great! Now noobs are sure they can sell off . OMG

Sell off what? The distribution has not happened yet.

He means they can sell off the bytes they received from the prior distro (or bytes purchased simply to get the 20%) and still get the bonus.
