I've spent so much time with the Crypto market these last few months. Can't count the amount of times where I have placed an order and somehow everything stops, when up to this point everything was crazy. The computer don't freeze, the whole of what is happening on Bittrex goes 180 or stops. Inclusive, the amount of times that my computer has frozen or had the socket status disconnect indication come at me at the worst of times. I've set up 2 computers now, via usb tether to my mobile, just to ensure at least one connection.

Yesterday, I had a better look at the pumpers and dumpers with Bittrex. They were pushing down the price with mega small buy amounts i.e.0.0000005 (or something to this effect). They kept it down enough to buy up all they wanted at the cheaper price. As expected they pumped it with these same increments when they were wanting to get high prices and make a killing. I've experience much with these pumpers and dumpers, inclusive of being in P&D groups to see what they get up to. Wish I'd never gotten involved with these crypto's; it's been a nightmare. I know some have done well, but I know a lot have been messed up. Sure, you can ride the wave of the P&Der's, but I can go on and on with all the other horrendous things I've seen.  I'm now down to my last option of trading hard on i.e. being ultra patient and ensuring that it's a good buy point. Yes, I've worked out via the studies how to do this; I'll be interested to see if it works to screw me up even then. I really just wonder how much these computer bots are able to take people's money. Let alone if you are a really good trader and have your bitcoins hacked real time, like I watched a trader on youtube talk about.

Thanks Visale and Iam2... for confirmation.

Yesterday looked at this to proper realisation and to stop limit.

Thanks Erbott1

I can log in. I did see on a masternode site that Slack was generally having issues with their 'invite' i.e not just for coinonatx.

I'm still confused about the locking your wallet thing. Is this the same as encrypting the wallet? as on my Coinonatx mac software, all I have is 'Encrypt Wallet' from 'Setting' in the menu bar. The little padlock icon on the Coinonatx wallet software seemingly does not allow me to click on this to change it from a locked to unlocked state. I believe that you can do this with the PIVX padlock icon, but my memory might be wrong on this. Is there a hot key factor to get the padlock to change state from locked to unclocked?

Also, I'd like to know when to encrypt/lock? the wallet in
1) the process of A) setting up for a masternode or B) setting up for staking and
2) When to lock/encrypt? or unlock/unencrypt the wallet while A) 'running' the masternode or B) staking.

Please explain. Thanks

Been trying to work out how to set up 2 masternodes on my mac for hours now. I need more info than what I've read from Coinonatx's info to set up 2 masternodes. From what I've gathered, I need an IP address with 2 separate Port addresses for each of the 2 nodes.

1) Do I use the internal IP address which I get from my mac's system preferences > Network > IP address (which I believe is IPv4 ?) or do I get it from 'whatismyipaddress.com '  for an external Dynamic IP ? Also do I need a static IP address and is this the internal address?

2) For these 2 Masternodes do I need to set up 'port forwarding' via my modems software? If so, my modems software asks me for the software for  a "port mapping application" ? It also asks for a external, as well as internal port number. It won't allow blank or zero values for internal port number ? Next it asks for protocol i.e. TCP or UDP or both?

3) Can you use the IPv6 address given in the 'network' preferences just listed in my 2nd question?

It would be great if someone can set up a page with clear, step by step instructions inclusive of screen shots?

Thanks.

This forum is beautiful.

It answers a lot for me and am glad that I never put 1 cent into Bitshares and Steem. For weeks I'd been wondering what gives with Bitshares? Now I know.

Need some help here.
I've registered for this NVO Crowdsale and imputed my bitcoins public key. I then see that the different currency fields on the left of my screen are now all filled with different addresses. So what gives now as I'm confused by their instructions? Are they requiring a donation to give and so get back proportionately, or do you just wait for the next step? Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what crypto is being used mainly for point of sale retail as of this current time or what crypto is set to look like it will be the leader for this retail sales position?

I simple web search on this question brings up immediately the fact that Japan is now accepting bitcoin in over 260,000 retail outlets.

Thanks for your reply, I'll have a look at the links you posted also. I'd like to say however, that at this time, without going over the forum, that it appears that this division of GB and MB seems to more over of value in light of the Byteball offer i.e. 62.5 X and 0.2 etc. One bitcoin is $2800 and you can divide this in fractions also, but you are still paying $2800 for one; this verses what you paid a few years ago. One byteball is still $700+ and this is mainly important to what you could have paid in the past. For those who wish they could get the 0.2 X offer, the cost of the Byteball currency is expensive, as compared to most other crypto's. The value of the byteball crypto, I'm still to research, in light of a member saying it's better than most of the top 10 crypto's? Thanks again.

Greetings,

Can someone clear something up for me regarding the price of crypto’s in relation to it's market cap. Recently I made mention of the “high” cost of  Byteballs currency of some $700 and a member on this forum replied with -

“Don't look at the price for one GB, take a look at the market cap of Byteball, than you will see that byteball is not so expensive!

-Can we finally please realize the change to MB, I am really sick of this discussions!.”

I see market cap as being described as it’s true value. Beyond this I don’t understand this members comment?

There are seemingly two components here i.e. 1) Price of Byteball in relation to its market cap and 2) The change to MB, both of which I do not fully grasp.  Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

Thanks to all. Through the last two comments posted I've come to see that Byteball has 2 currencies i.e Bytes and Blackbytes. Prior I was thinking of a byte as a numbered unit and not as a currency.

"Already now, bound payments allow you to P2P exchange bytes (the native currency of Byteball) against blackbytes (a private untraceable currency on Byteball platform) or any other asset issued on Byteball."

Q. Looking at the notes associated with the 7th round offer, there is a split with what you can get in either bytes or Blackbytes. So, you just let Byteball know which you would prefer or do you just convert the one you get over to the other without cost?

Thank you.

These are the figures I now have to work with: ?
1) 62.5 x 2 (bitcoins I own) / 1,000,000,000 x $775 (current GByte Price) = $0.000096875 (something strange here)
If I take 62.5 as 62.5 million, then it looks like I"d get around 96.875 USD? Better but ?

Also:
2) The snapshots of Bitcoin blockchain and Byteball DAG for the 7th round will be taken on the Full Moon of July, on July 9, 2017 at 04:07 UTC.  What you receive, is proportional to your balances in BTC and Bytes:
BTC to bytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 62.5 MB (0.0625 GB)
BTC to blackbytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 2.1111 * 62.5 million blackbytes (money supply of blackbytes is 2.1111 times more than that of bytes)
Bytes to bytes: 1 byte on any Byteball address gives you 0.2 new bytes
Bytes to blackbytes: 1 byte on linked Byteball address gives you 0.42222 blackbytes

I'm not getting "bytes" in all of this. I mean BTC = Bitcoin, Blackbytes = Byteball currency, but Bytes ? and how this then goes to MB as a multiplier i.e. x 62.5 MB.
Next, I have 2 Bitcoins, so 2 x 2.1111 x 62.5 million Blackbytes = 263887500 Blackbytes at $775 = $204512812500 USD = I just bought the USA? OR is it 2 Bitcoins I own gives 2 x 2.1111 Blackbytes? Sounds crazy also?

Thank you very much also; this is making a whole lot more sense now working this through. Jaxx seemingly does not display change address from what I can see, but I could be wrong being new to this.


Thanks.

Thank you. I think I've got it now. I used the "Current Bitcoin Address" on the main Jaxx screen, verses going into looking at my bitcoin keys and seeing exactly where my bitcoin coins were located i.e. its public key. Now when I go into looking Jaxx-Tools-Display Private Keys-Display Bitcoin Keys > then go down the list and find which one of these sections has the bitcoins stored at (as all others show zero bitcoins, including one that now has the address that Bytecoin knows about i.e. that I sent them.) I see it's public and private keys. You are saying to make another transaction and send this to the address which Byteball has. Okay get it. Wondering how much the mining fee on this is going to be? I'll have to check.

I'll have to check in that I'm somewhat aware of the issues in relating to MB's to $. The maths on this that Byteball provides is confusing to me at this stage. Can you tell me what 2 bitcoins on the next full moon translates to in way of Blackbytes offered free? If let's say today was the full moon free Blackbytes offered, what would 2 bitcoins mean even in $USD ?

Thank you.
Thanks. My Jaxx wallet is showing -0.001455 with mining fee of -0.000678. The transaction for this is showing sent to the address which Byteball specified. The address which I provided to Byteball for this transaction, which Jaxx originally gave me to say was the address of where my 2 Bitcoins are stored, is as of today, showing a different address. Your words of  "got moved to a "change" address in your wallet. So you still have your BTC..." sounds like its somewhere still in my Jaxx wallet on my computer? I really wish, as I would try to send it again, if I could see this. As of today, my Jaxx wallet is definitely showing a final balance of 2.06426730 from the original 2.0664003 prior to having the 0.001455 & 0.000678 figures deducted and sent to Byteball. From this, I'm not understanding how to "send your bitcoins BACK to the address you originally linked"? I really don't understand this, please help. When and how the address that I provided, from what the Jaxx wallet said was the address of my 2 bitcoins and I gave to Byteball, to what the address is as of looking at my Jaxx wallet today, I don't know.

I followed Byteballs instructions to the 'T' i.e. I sent the bitcoins amount requested from my Bitcoin address that my bitcoins were stored at. This comment of having many addresses in my Jaxx wallet and transfering "All" my bitcoins makes no sense to me as a NOOB - Once again, yes I am a NOOB, NOOB, NOOB; let's get on with it.. I see that from the comments that are just posted that others have had this problem, so at least this is an avenue for me to look at now. Also, not afraid of having given my address where all my bitcoins are at. I'd appreciate detailed constructive insight on this to help.

You say "1. Don't look at the price for one GB, take a look at the market cap of Byteball, than you will see that byteball is not so expensive!" - Two points 1) Are there vested interests here that don't like to hear negatives to have their investments suffer? 2) I see market cap as the value of the currency, but when it comes to the $780 figure, if you aren't getting Blackbytes for free, you certainly have to pay in fiat for this and this becomes expensive enough, especially as I don't see it equating with Bitcoin or Ethereum long term for investors

Thanks for some insight. Yep, I'm a noob. So these points that you raise are intriguing, as I was wondering about the MB factor, yet I'm also to understand the market cap component as well. Transfer "ALL" of my bitcoins? As a noob = HELL NO. This would go to the next comment that was posted regarding not putting my money into what I don't understand. I'm willing to send a fraction of a bitcoin as a gamble, but not "All of my bitcoins. Thanks also for revealing that others have had this problem with the address in this thread; this gives me an avenue that I can then understand this.

I gave Byteball the address that Jaxx wallet gave me as the address of my bitcoins. I never changed any address, while Byteball now has some fee Bitcoins from me. If I never changed this address and never moved them out of this address, I don't understand how I can move it back to this address. The only thing that I can think is that on this day I did convert bitcoins to Ethereum a few hours prior and I'd say that this ethereum transaction had about 5 confirmations on Electrum wallet, but Jaxx wallet was showing that it was confirmed, no problems, with a good deal more confirmations. Could this transaction, while in flux, cause Byteball to see something different from the blockchain? Still they got my bitcoins? so how does this work? Seriously "You must have changed addresses in your BTC wallet" makes no sense to me?
