So what about the people who bought those dumped coins, which are deleted in the fork? They are in the exchanges now, unless they get reimbursed, the users won't see the coins that they paid for.
Is there a plan to repay the exchanges?

This one works for me

I sometimes copy and paste addresses and I get an extra space at the end, make sure you didn't copy the space by accident.
Also I don't know if cryptopia would fail at recognising an address like that, but it's just an idea for you to try.

In the end if you find out what was wrong reply here so we can help others!
And if you really believe it's a problem with cryptopia, try asking in the byteball slack channel.

Do you have version 1.9.2?
If not, try updating it.

You need to link your BTC to receive free byteball.
If you mean you had some byteball in your wallet, then as far as I know, you should have received some extra byteball (you should have YOUR_BYTEBALL x 1.2)

I made a guide here:

I hope it helps

The companion got it wrong for me too once time, but after trying again 5 minutes later it was ok.

In the first post of this thread

You're certainly improving bitcointalk forums just by your presence. We are honoured to have you.
Please help us improve so that we are not the worst than you never view on this forum.

It took me one day to sync the wallet, but apparently it has a lot to do with HDD speed (not enough to have a good internet connection). I'm using an SSD, and it seems to influence the speed quite a lot (from the comments I've read).
It's apparently normal for it to take a long time, and I seem to recall that the developer (or someone else) was working on optimising it. Nothing you can do now but wait. (Or cancel the whole thing and start with the light wallet, which syncs in just a few minutes)

That is a good question but I don't think we can get a clear answer until a bit after August 1st.

Depends on how many BTC get linked in the next rounds.
Someone calculated at least 4 more.

Yes, the price will go down by 99% in the next few days, never to recover. /s

The 7th distribution round will occur on July 9th, at 4 AM UTC, you still have time to sign your BTC to link it. (Or buy byteball to get 20%)
I made a guide here:
byteballblog.wordpress.com/how-to-get-free-byteballs/
The number of airdrops is still unknown, there will be airdrops until all the byteballs are distributed. For more information check the first post in this thread.

All of this is in the OP, but the reason is that the developer did some research, and what made a coin a success was how much it was used, and how many people owned it. If a coin is in the hands of only a few people, it won't succeed, and it will be forgotten. Dogecoin for example is a good example of this, a lot of people were tipping dogecoin, even I gave dogecoins to more than 50 people in forums. Dogecoin had nothing really going for it, and it was still very successful. This coin is much better, and then it's being airdropped, so I have no doubt it will succeed.


No, the signature just serves to demonstrate you own that bitcoin address. There is nothing anybody can do with a signature other than agree that yes, you own that address.

Remember that currently bitcoin fees can be much lower than what they were a month ago.
Fee calculation is not correct in many places, since they are still outdated.

BTC is not sold to anyone, it's only linked.
If you can prove you own a certain BTC address, then the coins in that address can be linked.
that's all, the BTC stay where they are, nobody takes them. The owners keep their BTC and also get free GByte.

You can buy GByte for BTC in exchanges though, and get more GBytes than by just linking your BTC, but obviously you would not keep your BTC that way.

There is a snapshot taken at around that time, but if you move your BTC around, be careful of change addresses.
Basically when you send your money, it will all be mixed into another address, so make sure that the same address still has the BTC, or link the new change address to the byteball bot (you can link more than one BTC address)

You can link more than 1 BTC address.
Just paste the BTC address, and then follow instructions

No, I think your math is wrong, or I didn't get what you were trying to say:

The first part is correct, you get 0.3125 GB for linking 5 BTC (You don't put them in the byteball wallet, you just talk to the bot and link it by signing a message)
If you buy GByte with your BTC (5 BTC), you will have, at current price, around 15 GBytes.
Then you put those 15 GBytes in your wallet, and in July 9th you will get 15 GB x 1.2 = 18. You will get 3 GBytes for free (and 6 Black GBytes, I think)
If you keep those GBytes there, then the next round you will have 21.6, and the next one 25.92, and the next one 31.104....

This is good only if your objective is to get as many GBytes as possible. But some people prefer to link their BTC because this way they don't lose them, and don't sell them, and don't risk them, they just stay in their Bitcoin wallet.

If you want to get in contact with tony (the developer), the best place to do it is the slack channel.

I think it would show up as pending if your wallet was synced, but the payment hadn't been confirmed and it was very recent.
If your wallet isn't synced you're not getting the latest version of what's going on with the transactions
