Many people will disagree with you what is technically better, but the truth is, BTC is not going anywhere and in some sense it will always be better than others, but not for everything, so that's why there is room for altcoins. Some altcoins will do some stuff better, will be technically better in some areas, but worse in some other.

It is funny that you list one of the use cases what you can do with it (betting) and then say you can't do anything else with them. That is literally what some cryptocurrency projects have made ICOs about (whole cryptocurrency for just betting), but on Byteball you can already do that and it is just one of the use cases. You CAN USE many other features on Byteball too, some people do it too already, like creating 1-year vested contracts or issuing tokens without writing single line of code.

The main difference is that when mainstream media talks about cryptocurrencies then they talk about Bitcoin because it is the oldest and the biggest. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency everybody learn about because it is the most talked about and well known.

Top cryptocurrencies generally get fiat pairs first, but all centralized exchanges need to do KYC when handling fiat. Byteball does that too and that's why you can buy GBYTE with fiat too. It helps getting more new users get GBYTE easier, but it is not a magic bullet because Byteball is not as well known.

BTC is 9 years old, Byteball is less than 2, but for some reason, you think in order to be successful, it should have already catched up BTC? Or, if it hasn't done it with 2 years then it will never become anything and always remain small and insignificant?

We are making the first step towards decentralization of witnesses.

First Decentralized Witness Candidate — Rogier Eijkelhof



Full story: https://medium.com/byteball/first-decentralized-witness-candidate-rogier-eijkelhof-9e5619166334
Interview: https://youtu.be/TI7cb57Yu9A
Witness pledge: https://www.docdroid.net/pqmfskj/rogier-eijkelhof-byteball-witness-pledge.pdf

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

Great news. The longest journey begins with the first step

It's not just about distribution.  Don't be fixated on it.  The purpose of this real name attestation campaign is to create a large user base of users with real identities, which the apps can leverage.  No other platform has or is trying to create it.  Undistributed funds help create incentives before the actual apps exist.

We have a grants program for those who want to create an Open Bazaar for "Blackbytes".

First of all, you should make sure that this currency is to be used as what it claims to be: a currency. This would put you ahead of the competition.
Gimmicks that need a KYC can still happen.

Also the distribution of the bites would find really increasing spreading and would not reduce itself in the long run only on a small basis of bite ball fanboys with their unshakeable uncritical faith.

Furthermore, the ignorant adherence to "bite ball" is more than a hindrance to acceptance.

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.

can you share the stats with the top 10 addresses by the daily transaction volume? Eg:
Bittrex: 10%
Betting bot: 10%
WCG: 30%
.....
As a byterbal holder, i want to support Rogier Eijkelhof because i like his photo. But i can't, because no entrepreneur known to me wants to accept my balls and i simply have nowhere to send transactions with Rogier Eijkelhof in the list . I will hope that bittrex and betting bot will change their lists and their transaction volume will cover 51% of the network volume

It's like you are not reading what is posted here or on newsletter at all, it has been told that the branding agency has been hired to deal with the name.

So, it is priority now, even rough estimate for timeline has given. What do you expect? That when somebody makes fun of the name on Bitcointalk forum then the name would be changed the next day? Maybe things need planning and cannot be rushed because you can't do stuff like that every month. Hopefully it will be done one time and last time, but there is no guarantee that there won't be any people on Bitcointalk that will think that new name is funny or stupid too.

And yet, you still act like a 12 year old who is misspelling Byteball name all the time.

KYC is not mandatory, it is optional. You can have many wallets and if you are extra paranoid, you can have separate phones too for wallets for you blackbytes, or do the KYC only the mobile wallet and keep your dirty stuff on your computer. There is no reason why you can't have both and if the mass of sheep has no problem with KYC then that's good because Byteball needs mass of people, not just some few oddballs.

It has also been told that if you think that your ideas are so great, gather a team and apply for grant if you want these things to be built. Everybody has limited time on their hands, but there are still plenty of funds for developers to build stuff. If you don't see developers writing to you that they would like to build the stuff that you want, maybe it's because they don't think it that great idea. Find yourself developers who believe in your idea and build it.

Byterbal in top 200 again! Prepare your balls to the moon

[] top 200 lol after leaving the top 50
