Why would you delete your appdata (wallet folder) just because of a one time error? That's another mistake (second) in that even if the wallet has a problem, it can be fixed. So, a backup (simply moving the folder) is preferred to deleting and then hoping to magically get the funds to reappear.
Why? Delete the appdata folder was to ensure that I can install the new version without old artifacts that could cause trouble and backup with the SEED.
For future thought...
Wallet and APP are two different things.
Installing a new wallet, uninstalling, reinstalling, installing on top have no affect on the wallet (data) itself.
The same goes for a corrupted wallet in that all of the above will not fix it.
The airdrop in march: will it be the last one? Or will more airdrops follow?
Don't know, but there is going to have to be more in order to distribute the promised number of bytes to the public. I would like to know how those distributions will take place myself.
Question regarding the Airdrop:
I've moved my BTC to a segwit address (starting with 3..). The chatbot gives me the following response:
Only P2PKH addresses (those that start with 1) can sign messages. You can prove ownership of xyz only by microtransaction.
My question is: How can I make such a transaction? What is the address that I've to send to?
Has anyone successfully registered a segwit address with a micro transaction and can give me some guidance? I've checked the Byteball Wiki but couldn't find the answer there.
You will not be able to sign with segwit.
So, only chance (for you to test yourself), is to setup a segwit transaction and see it if will work in the transition bot.
segwit and multisig start with a 3
You can see that 1 or both formats are accepted with the transision bot.
http://transition.byteball.org/The latest address that paid was:
3Q6j4BU9kmuuK2sMjKjg9vcg9x5kYLQgAf
Paid a TX and coins moved to what appears another segwit address.
Another example is:
3GQVpXeMa4njR3oqdHDPLrriBLfyCttoih
They paid the fee and the change went to another segwit change address and then the change was moved back to the original address in order to claim bytes based on the full number of bitcoins.
