Sorry for may absence here. I was so busy with the distribution that now have 15 unread pages in this thread and dozens of unanswered emails and PMs.
A few updates, or rather confirmations of what you already know:
1. The network is now launched
2. Latest version is 1.0.0.
https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases/tag/v1.0.03. Transaction explorer is at
https://explorer.byteball.org4. All bytes of the 1st round are distributed
5. It is safe to move your Bitcoins out of the linked address before the next distribution round
6. Distribution of blackbytes is still under way
7. Total supply of blackbytes is 2.1111 * 10
15, that is 2.1111 times more than that of bytes. If you want to know more where this number comes from, see the whitepaper
https://byteball.org/Byteball.pdf, page 44.
8. Seems like many people never heard of blackbytes. It is a currency with private untraceable payments where payment information is conveyed directly from payer to payee and never stored on the public database. This means that payments in blackbytes are only possible when payer and payee are connected in chat. This also means that you cannot restore blackbytes from a seed, and you need a full backup of the data folder

http://slack.byteball.org/10. Don't trade blackbytes before their distribution is finished
Distribution of blackbytes is finished now.
