Ah, that is a much more interesting question.  If the author wanted to use the binary SI prefix as opposed to decimal SI prefixes then they should have used gibi instead of giga.  But, not everyone is aware of this or does it consistently:



BTW 1 gibibyte = 2³⁰ = 1,073,741,824, not 1,024,000,000 [1 GiB is 1,024 x 1 MiB which is 2²⁰ = 1,048,576]

I hate to pile on, but you are absolutely incorrect in your claim that there are 1024 MB in 1 GB. Relying on non-authoritative websites for your source of truth does nothing to resolve the error.

The SI system was devised ages ago, and is universally used as the measure of such things. The prefix G or giga always denotes 10^9.

Some time ago, lazy programmers noted that 2^10 is kinda sorta approximately equal 10^3. So they started sloppily referring to 2^10 as kilo, 2^20 as mega, etc. But this has introduced error and ambiguity where none is warranted. And this ambiguity has killed.

If you mean 2^30, then the proper prefix is Gi or gibi. The scientific and engineering standards communities are universally aligned on this point. Or to make it concrete for you, 1024 MiB = 1 GiB.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix and while WikiPedia is only quasi-authoritative, they provide more explanation that truly authoritative sites such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology: https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

And for the love of all that is holy, stop misusing SI prefixes. Before they kill again.

I just wanted to follow up on this since it is a great bot and a very good addition to the whole Byteball ecosystem. Lately, I see there's some traction on the exchanges and that may start GB engine once again. Hopefully the way up is building in a more consistent way.

Byteball is evolving super fast, each month you check here and something new happens. This month we already got real life merchants (https://byteball.org/milan/), and a real world company raising money (https://titan-coin.com/en/) using Byteball assets.

Yes everything works as expected in whitepaper.

Will there be three more rounds of airdrop? I registered that the last one was cancelled or shifted. So it looks like there is still a period of coin accumulation, the question is what will happen after the distribution is over and if there would a sell pressure, especially if the price gets higher. I'm curious if the new projects go the same way as Byteball, leave the blockchain and focus on the DAG. At the current moment between bitcoin and bitcoin cash, this new block-free technology could attract much more attention, so we probably would not even have to worry about falling bitcoin price.

Hey guys while i looked through my crypto invested today i happily noticed that finaly byteball started to rise again. Is there any reason for it? Are there any cool news?

Why should you use this? Fee at Bittrex is just 0.25% and you got a lot of ALTs there

Using changelly is certainly not trustless or decentralized. One reason to use it is to avoid registration and kyc requirements exchanges such as bittrex have, but you could do that by using changelly or shapeshift directly as well.
