I have quite a lot of arguments for you... But I value my energy, it's my most precious asset. I'll say just this.. BRAND recognition. You cannot compare Byteball, as a brand, with Bitcoin. If Bitcoin would have sold in "bits" (1bit = 100 satoshi) instead of whole bitcoins, we'd probably be seeing a higher marketcap.

I've spoken with tens of people who are new to crypto-space, and most of them (i'd say 8 out of 10) initially tell me "this is cheap, this is expensive" based ONLY on price per unit.

There's actually a marketing science applied to price-tagging. Why do you think most of the prices you see in stores look like "$99.99" or "39.99"? Because most people think in the lines of "oh, this costs 90bucks, and this costs 30 bucks", when in reality it costs $100 and $40, respectively. Now this may not fool you or me and a few of the rest. But it damn works, and it boosts profits by 20 - 50%, based on industry.

I'm curious if there are actual concrete steps we could take on this direction. I'd be willing to put some effort into this.

What???!

Wait a minute.. Let me say again... What? What do you mean psychologicaly no difference?!

There are a lot of people I know in real life, who, exposed to this, will invest in what has a small price per unit, regardless of total monetary mass (the number of units in existence). You are not .. just wrong with that affirmation, you are way off!

The argument above with "1 Gbyte = 0.05 BTC" being better for trading compared to "1 Mbyte = 0.00005" is not convincing either, because the average trading size per position is around 1-2GB's anyhow (I'm speculating here based on common sense)... and there are make tokens/coins/cryptoassets with a unit price of around 5000+ satoshis and people have no major problems trading that... Also, the average joe doesn't daily trade.

One extra argument for the price denomination cut (from GB to MB) would be that standard stock market is used to splitting shares, in order to keep prices in around the same area (of two to tree digit price).

I've posted a suggestion earlier. It's getting ignored. The price in coinmarketcap and on exchanges should be denominated in MB, not in GB. $600 + is expensive, and ms cyborg here is just one of the few who (unfortunately) think like this. But $0.6 for 1MB is cheap!! Ms Cyborg and others like him would definitely buy 1000MB at $0.6 / MB, rather than 1 GB at $600 / GB.. which is expensive!

So... how can we list BYTEBALL in $/MB.. this will do wonders for the adoption!

Could we somehow relist Byteball on coinmarketcap with the MB denomination and price... instead of GB price? A $0.8 price / MB is easier to wrap head around .. compared to $800 / GB.. Not to mention the pshychological barrier of large numbers.

Yep. Me neither.. Had to wait for 16+ hours till I received the ETH. See this thread for more details.
Hope you got yours in time and did get too stressed.

This guy's asking this on every thread.

The process is very simple. You need to tell the ProfitContainer smart contract to send you your share of the profits. For that you technically send a transaction, with 0 ether, and an instruction (provided as additional data) to withdraw profit to your address.
Send a transaction with 0 ether to 0x51FFC1b089392a5bb65BF24EAf04d07D0e6F88B5 (that's the ProfitContainer smart address) and enter "0x2ebec916" into the data field (without the "" ) . I recommend to set the gas price to 1Gwei, as it is sufficient and gets the job done cheap. Enjoy your ether!

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

Sell off what? The distribution has not happened yet.

Thank you!

Is this an official confirmation?

My bad. It was in the context of the current snapshot of the distribution. If the snapshot has not been taken, it would hurt for me to move the coins (safe).

I want to send BTC to bittrex to buy some Gbyte. Is it safe to send?

Where can we see the confirmation that the snapshot has been taken? Thank you!

You'd lose the bet. I provided a signature.

http://transition.byteball.org/ reported the wrong BTC amount. It reported the exact incorrect BTC amount that blockr.io is still reporting.  For some reason, after exchanging messages with Michail1, the correct amount is now reported in the table.

Conclusions:
1. blockr.io is unreliable (i can provide evidence via PM)
2. http://transition.byteball.org/ has some issues in reporting the BTC amount and byteball distribution percentage (as in the first 30 minutes after communicating with the chatbot in the byteball light wallet the incorrect amount of BTC was shown - same as blockr.io is still showing, and after that, something happened that the correct amount was shown - I don't know whether it has to do with Michail1 or it is pure, bizzare coincidence)


Bio: I graduated Computer Science and I've entered the cryptospace in the spring of 2013, so I'm not new to this.

PMd.

And YET it is the wrong amount. I'm not new to this, you know...

Hi! The http://transition.byteball.org/ reports incorrect BTC balance on my address, because it quotes blockr.io. Is that a problem for the distribution?

Vslice is still in early stages. There is little profit to be made at the moment. If you have VSL, and the tokens state is locked, you can check the profit for your address here: https://epoch.vdice.io/
This is the 3rd or 4th epoch so far, and the profit container gathered less than 50ETH each time. This amounts for less than 0.1% monthly ROI.
