A little more activity by the new team on this thread would be rather useful - Discord discussions are volatile, while what's here on Bitcointalk stays in time.

The reasons for leaving one of the developers remain unknown, but the main thing is that he didn’t steal anything from anyone, moreover, a couple of days ago he gave the remaining team backup copies of the necessary files, including the web wallet files and various accesses. Now we can move on.

Has there been any progress after this statement? Did the people recover their web wallets?

Awesome news, thanks for sharing! Could you please share the information here as soon as the new service is available since I am not member on Slack channel?

Marc, I read on Twitter that you are planning to continue to run the Byteball <-> BlackByteball bot and to do so, you are looking for someone who can do the technical part. Did you find someone already? I think GBB is a great tech to stay anonymous it would be bad if there is no way to convert bytes and blackbytes to each other.
He have found an investor and new owner for freebe  Wink

Dear users, Great news!
I have found an investor and new owner for freebe: Marc De Mesel‏.
In the coming weeks we will transfer all code and database to freebe’s new server.
Nothing will change for you (except for the new owner).
During the integration phase, the server might be offline for a few hours (I will announce this in advance).
In the coming weeks I will help the new team to support a frictionless transition.
I am very happy that we found a well-known and engaged new owner.
Thanks for all your support! I wish you a happy new year and great holidays!pxrunes

Sooo happy to hear that. Without an easy to use user friendly service like freebe Blackballs would have eventually slided into oblivium. I am still quite optimist about Blackbytes having success on the long run. There is simply NO asset with such degrees of PRIVACY in the whole cryptoland. In fact, it is so private that most people still ignore it exists.

Today Robert Viglione gave speech titled "The Business of Building a Massively Scalable Blockchain Ecosystem" at BlockchainUA conference in Kyiv.

Any chance to see that on youtube? That would be quite interesting but more than that it would be a good marketing tool since nowadays many people watch videos but they don't like to read.

Sure, it will be on youtube. Organisers of conference did video, so we didn't film the speech itself, but made another separate program today, will share it later here when it's online.

Anyone having the youtube link of this video?

However, for now the fastest way to bring users/investors on is appeal to the main group that have any interest in CC at all. This is 99% speculators and sadly you must appeal to their greed. This is not a place for just idealists right now - in the long term yes.


I've quoted this line of yours in black because that's a sad, cynical, but alas tragically true reality check. While some of us dream of the possibilities of a wonderful world, Sturgeon's law reminds us that "ninety percent of everything is crap" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law) - and this unfortunatelly is true also for our beloved crypto community.
In the light of this, you are right on the fact that to ensure the success of a coin one may have to take advantage also of all available "dirty tricks". That's called Realpolitik, my fellow Byteballers. As for which "dirty tricks" exactly should be thought and adopted so as to widely spread adoption also to the 90% of crap people which are living in the crypto space and on earth in general, the discussion is open.

Your action is required to support the candidate, see the story above.



I  have no idea what this means. Now what will it take for me to get my Byteball wallet in  fully working mode after new witnesses will be appointed?

You didn't read the story I guess. We don't appoint witnesses, it's up to you to pick them. Rogier is the first candidate, more will follow. The Byteball network belongs to the users, they decide who they want to be their witnesses. In the startup phase Tony had to run all 12 because we didn't have any candidates yet. So this is a big deal, it's step 1 in the community taking ownership over the platform, also known as decentralization. I could post here how you can change your witness list but blindly changing it without checking out the candidate is worse than leaving the switch on auto-update from hub. So I suggest you read the article and make an informed decision yourself.

I remember that originally the plan was to have also very high profile witnesses like institutions etc. Any clue on wether the team is approaching also some entity of such high profile?

To scale down the denomination of Byteball on exchanges (from Gigabytes to Megabytes or lower) has been debated for a while now, mainly for reasons of marketing. But someone has pointed out that there are deeper reasons for doing that: to define a Byteball unity as 1 Gigabyte would be like defining an unity of dollar as 1 Million $. Of course this does not make any sense if you are looking for mass adoption, like Byteball is:

Ordinary investors don't really think that deeply. A lot of them just go out and buy the cheapest coin they can find, hoping it will explode like Bitcoin. We need those investors, just like we need the true believers of Byteball.
Denominating GB as the basic unit of Byteball ensures that they pass on.

You are sharing my same opinion without fully realizing it. In fact, not many of the community seem to have understood my post. As soon as you post something just a bit out of the usual common places and stereotypes people look at you as a fool (or an hopium smoker). Even here in the crypto world. Even here in the Byteball community. Sad.

I disagree about needing to change the denomonation. 1 bitcoin is a large sum of money but that doesn't do it any harm. The unit of GByte is quite convenient and nowhere near as big an amount as 1 bitcoin. The denomination is not the problem. If the price rises to millions of dollars we seemlessly start quoting in lesser amounts. Its no big deal, when theres a need.

This is true, we need those investors. The distribution has chased those investors away. For the time being. Savvy investors who like byteball will not buy now they will wait until the distribution is ending. There is no incentive to invest now while supply still needs to increase by 30 to 40% Or they give up bored if it becomes the never ending story.

Some people don't really get it. The only reason people buy Bitcoins is because they hope to sell it 10X or 100X higher. They consider it a store of value which possibly can make them rich.
Byteball is supposedly aiming to become a form of money people can actually use. Widespread adoption is the mission. For that purpose the base unity you are using to count the currency must be an everyday life quantity. Gigabytes are the "million of dollars" of Byteball - that doesn't make any sense for a currency you are actually planning to use. You need to scale it down.
Or perhaps the mission instead IS to make Byteball a store of value like Bitcoin. Then this should be stated clearly. But I don't think Tony is thinking like that, which is good, because what the world need is a cryptocurrency people can actually easily use. As a store of value, Bitcoin is already enough.

Yes it is supposedly aiming for that (money you can spend) - (bitcoin started out with that aim too). Its a long long way from that at the moment. I have never yet seen anything I can buy with byteball. When it gets there and one byte is something more valuable than a tiny fraction of a cent (or penny) then maybe that will be a practical unit to quote price with. Besides money needs to be a store of value or it won't be much good as money

If you have never seen anything you can buy with Byteball then perhaps you should book yourself a little vacation in Milano, Italy, where a number of shops are already accepting Bytes as a payment:

https://byteball.org/milan/

I guess other lists of shop would exist also for other cities.
Sometimes to see something it's just sufficient to look.  Grin

Difficult to believe that yet another anonymous team is coming out with yet another copy/paste coin pretending to sell their masternodes on Discord. And even more difficult to believe is that someone could be even buying this stuff. Well, I guess that whoever buys into this will fully deserve the inevitable punishment they're gonna have to go through.

Of course this does not make any sense if you are looking for mass adoption, like Byteball is:


(...)
The fact that Byteball is measured in Gigabytes is a problem because it is crucially violating Byteball's mission number one: to achieve mass adoption.
(...)


However, we are in the very early dawn of cryptocurrencies, which sometimes in the future (perhaps a distant future) are logically destined to replace the so much less efficient FIAT finance.
As we are just in the dawn of crypto, it doesn't really matter NOW which is the denomination of Byteball on exchanges. At some point it will eventually be changed, when the time will be deemed mature.
Meanwhile, we could consider the Byteball-in-Gigabytes world as the club of tomorrow's millionaires.
There are coins like Ada-Cardano which have openly claimed to point becoming the first platform to achieve 1 trillion $ capitalization.
Well, if Byteball would one day achieve something like that, then every single Gigabyte will be worth 1 Million $ - IF the USD will still exist with some value by then, of course.
Therefore, my fellow byteballers, don't waist your time whining but instead enjoy every single Gigabyte you have sitting in your wallet. There are only 1 Million of them, and the world's population is 7+ Bllions. And rising...

The power companies were actually trying to get a license to provide internet to customers a few years back but it was denied by the FCC.  Why?  Because intelligence did not want the cat out of the bag about how they can access devices through the power line without you being connected to the internet via conventional means.  The government can spy on you through a device the moment that device is connected to a power source.  Especially, if the power source is monitored by a smart meter.

To take that previous example about connecting to devices through power lines a bit further:  If an agent needs access to a computer held by a terrorist in a country without smart meters, they have to use actual feet on the ground with access to the terrorist power in their building or home to then connect a device to their power line to gain access wirelessly from a safe location to hack their computer the moment it's plugged into power.  The terrorist thinks they are safe not connecting to the internet with that device with sensitive information but they are sadly mistaken.

I was actually curious about how ZEN was going to pull this off with PRIVACY of all our data.  Because I "KNOW" it's NOT possible without a hardware device that's encrypted before it's connected to any other device.  Yes, ZEN would be able to keep users data private from most people.  But from governments or institutions with the means and the knowhow to see our data, it's not cut and dry as most people might think.


Thanks for providing this tech insight on ways it is possible to spy on your PC without Internet. As far as I know it should be also possible by remote recording whatever appears on your monitor from an equipped van in the Street, and other even more astonishing tricks.
However it must also be noted that this would usually not happen to people, unless these gov people are seriously after you, in which case you are probably screwed anyway. In other words the problems you mention would likely never be a problem for most of the people, just for a few of them, eventually. 99.99% of the people using ZEN would likely be protected from mass surveillance.

This is real CPU mining, meaning the faster the CPU and the more cores it has the better results will be. Also new CPUs have newer instructions sets which are more efficient. Latest generation of Intel and AMD are the best.
Pools are already available and are working pretty fine. The code is not final (and some features will be added with time) but almost 98% of the miners now mine in pools, so this says a lot about the efficiency of the pools.

Is the mining only done by the CPU ? Doesn't the graphic card have any influence on the hashrate that you can reach?
The graphic card doesn't have any influence on the hash rate.

This is an important point - still largely underestimated by the community. This will prefent rigs owners to harvest all the coins, not to speak about asic owners. Using computer as they are was the original concept of Satoshi Nakamoto.
