Bytcoin is an exciting project to me, minus some of the distribution concerns, but i'm a crytpo nerd, i eat this stuff for breakfast.
Can anyone explain to me why someone who doesn't use cryptocurrencies would start using byteball over the far more established projects out there? The chat format is nice, but a chat program isn't really a draw without the network effect already in place. Who wants to convince their friends to use a new chat program.
Maybe bytecoin should team up with signal, an encrypted chat project which is open source. A kind of partnership with an established network if there could be a way to fuse the two could be a game changer.
? Byteball is the only DAG crypto aimed solely at payments. It's in it's own lane and doesn't have to compete with anyone. It just needs better marketing as most people do not even know it exists.
Byteball doesn't need to partner with any chat project imo. You can already send encrypted messages with your payments I think. With a few tweaks, Byteball will have it's own capabilities in the future for messaging. I'm sure Tony already has this in the works.
The only things hindering Byteball as of now is the dumping from the whales due to initial distribution, and the lack of marketing. These problems will be fixed or dampered as we move towards the end of the airdrop.
