Chrome extensions seem to be the rage... Looks like someone has created a YouTube Chrome extension (Similar to Wildspark) for the Steem blockchain,

No ICO. No Crowdsale. No new token. No fanfare. How novel.   

Try deleting the following folder:-

[your mac username]/Library/Application Support/byteball

The Library folder may be hidden so you may need to unhide hidden folders to see it.

Once deleted, open the application and you should be given the option to install a light wallet.

I'm now getting the following error:-



I've tried restoring from full backup (doesn't work - I get the original error message) and from seed (says the seed is invalid even though I know this is correct). Anything I can do to recover my balls or are they lost?

Getting the follow error from 1.7 wallet (on mac):

Wallet then crashes. Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Trying to get started buying some HEAT. Could someone please send me some heat to place a trade?

Thanks in advance.

STEEM has a 2 second block time.

Each blog post, comment and vote is also a transaction on the blockchain so it is already processing major tx volumes.

STEEM also has zero transaction fees too btw.

Having watched the video and being someone who is relatively new to Synereo (having recently made a not insignificant investment in the platform), I thought I'd throw in some thoughts.

IMO the personal attacks were completely unnecessary as as the key questions are very straight forward, namely:

• How much is a reasonable amount to give (upfront) towards Rchains development ahead of the first milestone?
• What should the first milestone be?
• What should the timescales be?
• Who should adjudicate on whether the milestone has been delivered?
• What the backup plan if Rchains cannot be delivered?

The CEO rightly has concerns about the scope and ambition of the Rchain development given the unsuccessful implementation of Special-K. I think he made this point succinctly albeit he could have been more tactful.

But all the filibustering, personal attacks and grandstanding (asking for the CEO to step down  ) was slightly embarrassing to watch. Put forward the proposal and discuss the parameters. 3 hours of "he-say-she-say" crap really isn't a constructive use of time. Only the CEO had the common sense to knock the meeting on the head.

For any investors planning to watch the video - watch at x2 speed. Life is way too short  

Sounds great... paying gas to post when I can immutably post to the Steem blockchain for free.

Right now I'll settle for just getting my Ethereum wallet to sync...

I think I'll watch it play out before declaring it 'dead' based on a few anecdotes during beta. I'm sure there were people that visited "theFacebook" and "Twittr" a few months after they launched and thought 'what is this shit.' Still very early days for Steem and Steemit.

As far as crypto tech goes, Steemit is a very interesting experiment with a working, easily accessible prototype and potential use case (a far cry from the vapourware, ICO crypto speculation vehicles that permeates the space).

Like any project, internet marketers can be on-boarded. It can potentially be done in a decentralised way, which again I think is a fascinating angle.

It will also be interested to see how Steemit's potential competitors fare (Synereo, Yours, Decent, Akasha etc.) in terms of attracting talented writers and proving meaningful remuneration to them.

I've yet to see a single crypto that has made meaningful traction in terms of marketing itself to the masses (I'd include Bitcoin & Ethereum). So Steemit is no different on that score.

If Steem/ Steemit is a scam (I don't think it is but that's the thrust of this thread), it's one which the crypto-community could learn from in terms of how to potentially reach out beyond the navel-glazing crypto enthusiast.

Hmmm... for all it's current shortcomings (of which there are a few), 'preying on unsuspecting individuals outside of crypto' isn't one.

I introduced a few writers to Steemit as it was precisely a risk free way of introducing them to the power of crypto. They got paid for what they were doing anyway for free. They are also a few hundred dollars richer for the experience.

Some of them are still cashing out. Not one of them was vaguely interested in trading. None of them are that interested in Steem or Steem Power or Bitcoin or any of the issues that exercises people in this forum. All they know is they're getting some fiat for powering down each week and they're get some pay-out for showcasing their content on one of a myriad of platforms that they use.  At the most they're wondering if the price will go back up again. When they talk about cryptocurrencies to others its mostly in a positive light (even if they are fussy on how it all works).

I'm sure some crypto speculators and traders got burned trying to make money as the price sky-rocketed (as is the case with most coins).  I'm sure there are some people that were oversold the Steemit proposition by their friends (as it the case with most money making opportunities). However it's quite clear for most people outside of crypto, that Steemit is simply a place you can get rewarded for blogging. Whether the rewards are now worth their time submitting content is another matter. If it isn't most (level-headed) people will simply dial down the time they put into the platform or leave it altogether. Simple. No 'preying' involved.

Anyone (outside of crypto) throwing money at Steem should undertake enough due diligence to know that all cryptos are risky investments. Steem being one of the riskier ones as it requires a long-term commitment (converting to Steem Power) to avoid getting beaten up by inflation. To scream 'scam' at one of the more interesting experiments in this space (that has actually delivered a working prototype) is quite baffling.

This argument is a bit like saying that Bitcoin would fail (after 6 months) as the only people using it were Satoshi and a handful of crypto nerds...

If well-established bloggers migrated onto Steemit, it would obviously be in the interest of whales etc to vote for them. As with most things early adopters are simply benefiting from being early adopters, not necessarily the cream of the crop.

Equally, if Steem or Synereo etc, gained mass adoption, the existing whales would likely be very quickly bought out and the modus operandi of the new whales would look very different to behaviours exhibited now.

The key for any of these "attention economy" platforms is mass adoption and user retention. An area which Steem/ Steemit has barely scratched the surface of given it's soft launch was in July and it's still in beta.

I for one will be interested to see how things begin to take shape over the next 12 - 18 months before declaring it dead/ failed after 3!

I'm keeping a watching brief.

As far as I'm concerned BBR is still CZ's coin until he declares otherwise.

CZ built this coin from the ground up and has extensive knowledge of the Cryptonote protocol. His credentials are not in question and has proved himself. His request that you prove your competence with the codebase and contribute to the BBR repository seems entirely reasonable.

CZ is also right to suggest people be wary of downloading third party BBR builds that are not endorsed by him.

Whilst I've got no reason to doubt your integrity or intentions. The fact is this project has been going for over 2 years. Primarily on the strength of CZ work and talent (along with contributions a couple of others). You've been here for around a month.

Earning CZ's trust/ goodwill would go a long way towards helping you earn your stripes and inspiring trust others.

You need only scroll back a few pages to see the latest state of play of this coin,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg15711527#msg15711527

To understand where BBR sits in relation to other Cryptonote coins, you will need to do some research and draw your own conclusions. Just don't pump other coins on this threads.

Pump other coins under their thread/ twitter handles. These kind of posts/ tweets only serve to undermine the coin you're trying to promote... particularly if they are sent from twitter accounts that are falsely representing themselves as being associated with Boolberry.

Haha... you haven't lost anything. The $figure on Steemit is an estimate (it's based on an average price over 7 days I think - the White Paper goes into detail about this). Your Steem dollars would be based on whether you sell it for on the open market when you power down.

FYI - It's probably better to ask your questions on Steemit. Or search the site answers. Most Steemit users no longer post on this thread as it makes more sense to post (and earn rewards) on Steemit. The Steemit slack is useful also, https://steem.slack.com.

Your Steemit username is your Steem address.

E.g. if your Steemit user name is macno, put macno as the Registered Acct in Bittrex. It should go to you. As always it's worth testing with small amounts first.

It maybe worth your while posting this on Steemit also. As most of the Steem community are there. Nice cover design btw.

Steem power needs to be converted to Steem. Bittrex accepts Steem.

The 'catch' is you cannot convert all your Steem power to Steem in one go but at a rate of 1/104 per week. So it would take two years to withdraw all your Steem power.

You can earn "Steem dollars" from writing posts. These are liquid and can be converted to Steem - no catch. Steem dollars are pegged to USD and earn interest at 10%pa.

It's fairly straightforward (I think!).

Say The DAO raises 100m eth in total and you invested 10m eth (10% of the total).

If The DAO agrees to give 50m eth (50% of the total) to the Slock.it Proposal then 50% of your investment (5m eth) will go to Slock.it (assuming you don't 'split' ahead of the proposal being accepted).

In return for your 5m eth invested into the Slock.it Proposal, you would get 10% of the Slock.it rewardTokens (a pro rated share). Any money that Slock.it brings into The DAO (under this proposal), you get 10% of the proceeds.

Your remaining 5m eth remains in The DAO and can be used to fund future proposals.

If you really hate the next proposal and/or the curators (or whatever), you can choose to 'split' from The DAO and effectively take out the remaining 5m eth. Although I don't think it's as simple as hitting a 'withdraw my remaining eth' button - you have to get your hands dirty and effectively splitter off into your own DAO etc etc, as far as I understand.

You cannot get back the 5m eth that went to Slock.it, although you do keep the rewardTokens (10% of any money the DAO makes off of the Slock.it contract you invested in) - unless you choose to transfer these to someone else.

Caveat: this is my interpretation of the White Paper. I suggest you give it a read before deciding whether to invest.


If your DAO tokens are on an Exchange then you're at the mercy of that Exchange in terms of rewardTokens, how they vote, whether they split, whether they go with a fork and what they decide to do with regards to reducing your holdings when proposals are accepted. TLDR: don't leave your tokens on the Exchange, unless you're solely interested in trading DAO tokens.
