    For full technical description, read the white paper: https://byteball.org/Byteball.pdf

    Exchanges: https://cryptox.pl and trading bot (see the link at https://byteball.org)
    Auctions: #auctionroom channel on our slack http://slack.byteball.org
    Explorer: https://explorer.byteball.org

    Download the wallet:



    iOS Android Mac Windows Linux
    or build from source at github


    Desktop wallets can be full nodes (will take a while syncing with the network after the first start) or light nodes. Mobile wallets are always light clients.

    If you want to experience the wallet without paying a penny, visit https://byteball.org/testnet.html to install testnet wallet and click the link to receive free bytes to play with. The link will open your wallet:

    The design

    There are no blocks in Byteball, and no block size issue. Instead, every new transaction references one or more earlier ones (parents) by including and signing their hashes. The links among transactions form a DAG (directed acyclic graph):



    By including its parents, each new transaction also indirectly includes and confirms all parents of the parents, parents of the parents of the parents, and so on. As more transactions are added after your transaction, the number of confirmations you receive grows like snowball, that’s why the name Byteball (our snowflakes are bytes of data).

    Consensus

    There is no PoW, no PoS, and no mining. Instead, we have the DAG, which already establishes partial order between transactions, plus we add the main chain within the DAG:

    BYTEBAL

    The main chain (MC) allows to define total order between transactions: the transaction which gets included (directly or indirectly) earlier on the MC, is deemed earlier in the total order. When there is a double-spend, the version of the transaction that comes earlier in the total order is deemed valid, all others are deemed void.

    The main chain is defined deterministically based on the positions of transactions in the graph. Refer to the white paper for details, but as a general rule, the MC gravitates towards transactions authored by well known users, which we call witnesses. The list of witnesses is defined by users themselves as they include the list in every transaction they post. The MC then follows the path within the DAG such that:
    1. the witness lists of the neighboring transactions on the chain are either identical or differ by only one mutation,
    2. the chain goes through the most number of witness-authored transactions, compared with alternative chains.

    The above is very brief and sketchy description with many important details omitted, refer to the white paper for a full technical story.

    Fees and intrinsic value

    The fees paid for storing one’s transactions (or any other data) in the Byteball database are equal to the size of the data being stored. If the size of your transaction data is 500 bytes, you pay exactly 500 bytes (the native currency of Byteball) in fees. This means there is intrinsic value in bytes: it is the utility of permanently storing that size of data in a decentralized immutable database. For data that represents financial transactions, the value is social rather than personal, because you absolutely need to store the full coin history in order to be able to prove the value and authenticity of the coin to each subsequent owner.

    The fees are collected partially by those who are first to reference your transaction as parent and partially by witnesses. The former incentivizes referencing the most recent transactions as parents, which results in the DAG growing in one direction only, like the trunk of a tree, and being as narrow as network latency permits. If new transactions are rare enough, such that all nodes have enough time to sync before a new transaction appears, the DAG will look almost like a chain, with only occasional forks and quick merges.

    Money supply

    The total number of bytes is 10[sup]15[/sup], all bytes will be issued in the genesis transaction. Since the fees paid are returned into the circulation, the money supply will remain the same.

    Deterministic finality

    In Byteball, there is a protocol rule that a transaction must include the previous transaction (if any) sent from the same address, i.e. there must be partial order between subsequent transactions from the same address. Breaking this rule is considered equivalent to double-spending, therefore at least one of such unordered transactions will become void. If we assume that most witnesses follow this rule (that’s what they are elected for), they have to reference only sufficiently recent transactions as parents and can’t inherit from old enough parents. Therefore, they can no longer influence the MC (which is attracted to witnesses) in the old enough part of the DAG, and that part of the MC becomes stable, hence the total order relative to this MC also becomes stable. See the white paper for discussion of exact criteria of reaching stability, here it is important that the criteria are deterministic, and once a transaction appears on the stable part of the MC, it is final, and, unlike all other cryptocurrencies, no re-orgs are possible.

    This is extremely important for applications in financial industry and for wider adoption in general, as most people are used to expect certainty in matters of money and property ownership, and the concept of probabilistic finality is a difficult sell.

    Assets and on-chain exchange

    Bytes is the native currency of Byteball. Users can issue any other tokens (assets), e.g. to represent debt. The debt can be expressed e.g. in fiat currencies or in natural units (barrels, ounces, kWh, etc). The issuers of the debt can reveal their real-world identities and/or be voluntarily attested (i.e. their real-word identities be verified by a well known third party such as CA). This enables the use of the existing legal system to secure against fraud.

    The issued assets can be used as means of payment, along with bytes. Assets can be exchanged against bytes and other assets by both parties signing a single unit that executes both legs of the exchange, thus the two transactions either happen simultaneously or don't happen at all. This kind of signing is called multilateral signing. No centralized exchange is needed, hence no trust is necessary and no exchange fees (apart from the usual fees for the size of the data).

    Private untraceable payments

    Assets can be either public or private. All transactions in public assets are visible to everyone on the public decentralized database, just like Bitcoin. Bytes is a predefined public asset.

    Payments in private assets are not published to the public database. Instead, only the hash of the transaction is stored to the database, while the plaintext of the transaction is sent directly from the payer to the payee. To protect against double-spends, a spend proof is also published to the Byteball database. The spend proof is constructed as a hash of the output being spent, so that if the same output is spent twice, the spend proofs will be necessarily the same.

    I’ve already described this design at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574508.0, see more details in the white paper.

    Regulated assets

    Regulated institutions can issue assets that are compatible with KYC/AML requirements. Every transfer of such asset is to be cosigned by the issuer, and if there is anything that contradicts the regulations, the issuer won't cosign.

    This way, banks can issue fiat-pegged assets and stay fully compliant. They can open demand deposit accounts and track them on Byteball as assets. These assets are easily exchangeable against bytes and other assets (with bank’s approval).

    Other features

    - Spending conditions (AKA smart contracts) in an easy to understand declarative language https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1617816.0
    - Multisig: a special case of spending conditions
    - On-chain oracles can post data (such as timestamps, exchange rates, weather, various events) directly to the database, then that data can be referenced from spending conditions
    - Private end-to-end encrypted messaging: used to convey private payment data, communicate in multisig scenarios, and chat with a merchant’s bot.

    Initial distribution

    There will be no ICO, no crowdsale. I believe the success of a currency depends on the number of people who own it, in fact Peter R’s research suggests that historical marketcap of Bitcoin follows Metcalfe's law: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=572106.0, i.e. it is proportional to the square of the number of active users. That’s why I want Byteball to be in the hands of as many people as possible:


    • [li]98% of all bytes and blackbytes (the private untraceable currency) will be distributed among bitcoin holders who link their bitcoin and byteball addresses before any of the distribution rounds. No investment required, you keep your bitcoins, plus receive the bytes and blackbytes. See below how to receive the coins.[/li]
      [li]1% I reserve for myself[/li]

    Current status

    The network was launched on December 25, 2016, and 10% of bytes and blackbytes distributed to those who linked their Bitcoin and Byteball addresses. The total balance linked was over 70,000 BTC. In the second round, we distributed another 1.76%, over 120,000 BTC was linked.

    [size=16pt]Participation in Byteball distribution[/size]

    If you missed the 1st and 2nd rounds of distribution, you can still participate in the further rounds. If you already participated or bought bytes on an exchange, you can multiply your holdings.

    The snapshots for the 3rd round will be taken on the Full Moon of March, on March 12 at 14:54 UTC. This is what you receive:
    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 0.1 new bytes
    Bytes to blackbytes: 1 byte on linked Byteball address gives you 0.21111 blackbytes

    To participate, link your Byteball and Bitcoin addresses before the 3rd round:

    1. Download and install the wallet by following the above links.

    2. Visit https://byteball.org and click the link to chat with the Transition Bot. The link will open the new wallet and start a chat. Follow the instructions of the Transition Bot to prove your Bitcoin balance.

    You have two options to prove your Bitcoin balance:
    a. By making a micropayment. The bot will see your address the payment came from, will know that it is your address, and will instruct you to move your Bitcoins to this address. By making several micropayments, you can link several Bitcoin addresses to the same Byteball address.
    b. By signing a message (if your Bitcoin wallet supports this function). You tell the bot your Bitcoin address and sign your Byteball address with the Bitcoin address. After you prove one address (a typical Bitcoin wallet has dozens of them), you can either move all your coins to this single proven address or prove all other addresses in the same way -- by signing a message.

    If you try to link the same Bitcoin address to multiple Byteball addresses, both links are ignored. If you did this by mistake, link another Bitcoin address.

    If you prove by micropayment, remember to check that the Bitcoin address that the bot received the micropayment from, is indeed your address. An attacker might see your payment on the blockchain and repeat the same micropayment from his address trying to trick you to move your funds to him.

    3. If you make any Bitcoin payment, your coins will most likely be moved to a new change address. Chat with the bot again, see the balance on your linked address(es) and move the coins back to the linked address(es) if necessary.

    The linking phase will end on March 12 at 14:54 UTC, after which we'll do the distribution in proportion to BTC and bytes balances on this date.

    In the 3rd round, we'll distribute as much as is linked and calculated by the above rules, the exact % is not known in advance.

    The 4th and subsequent rounds (yet to be announced) will follow similar rules, but the relative weight of bytes vs. BTC (i.e. which amount of bytes gives the same share in the new distribution as 1 BTC) in the 4th and further rounds will change and will gradually increase to 1 BTC=62.5 MB. It will be selected to maximize the value of bytes and keep the speed of distribution in sync with the growth of user base and the actual use of the network. The ratio 62.5 MB per 1 BTC is chosen so that the total money supply of bytes (10[sup]15[/sup]) and the total number of BTC in circulation (16,000,000) are equivalent.

    We'll have as many rounds as is necessary until all bytes are distributed, most likely a new round every full moon.

    My 1% doesn't participate in the 2nd and further rounds.

    Earlier adopters have the opportunity to participate in greater number of distribution rounds and receive new bytes in each round by using the same BTC balance and bytes received in the previous rounds. You are effectively multiplying your stake in each additional round you take part in.

    Track the progress of linking at http://transition.byteball.org.

    How you can help
    • - play with the wallets, install them on multiple devices, pair them for multisig. If you find bugs, report them.
      - run a relay on your cloud server to help the network. The relay doesn’t hold any private keys, so you don’t have to worry too much about security. Get relay source code from https://github.com/byteball/byteball-relay
      - run a hub to better decentralize the delivery of private payments (the hub also includes a relay). Again, the security doesn’t matter much as all messages are end-to-end encrypted. Hub address can be changed by users in their wallet settings. Get hub source code from https://github.com/byteball/byteball-hub
      - fix bugs, contribute improvements in our github repositories https://github.com/byteball. In particular, we need faster syncing and faster UI. Before now, I prioritized simplicity of algorithms over performance, now we need speed too. A 10x improvement should come easy enough, the next 10x will be probably harder. Discuss any major changes before actually implementing them.
      - develop new tools/apps that you think will be useful for Byteball users
      - spread the word about Byteball and remember that its value is proportional to the square of the number of active users

    It was promised that the distribution formula will change in the future rounds to give more new Bytes to current Byte holders relative to BTC holders.

    On June 9 we'll have the 6th round of distribution, and after more than 4 months in the wild and having survived multiple post-distribution dumps, I think now it feels safer than before to participate in the distribution with Bytes, that's why the formula will change in favor of Byte-holders. Also, I want to accelerate the distribution to minimize the perceived uncertainty connected with undistributed coins.

    So, these are the rules for the distribution on June 9 (nothing changes for the today's round):

    BTC to bytes: (no change) 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 62.5 MB (0.0625 GB)
    BTC to blackbytes: (no change) 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: (2x increase) 1 byte on any Byteball address gives you 0.2 new bytes
    Bytes to blackbytes: (2x increase) 1 byte on linked Byteball address gives you 0.42222 blackbytes

    Now we have flight delay insurance bot. It's already added to the Bot Store.



    Users can buy insurance in easy to use chat interface. They don't need to find a peer, the bot is the peer that is available 24/7. The insurance is a smart contract, hence you don't need to trust the bot. It is almost the same contract that you can do peer-to-peer but it is composed automatically, users need only to check the contract before paying. The bot also reminds users when to unlock the contract.

    The quotes are based on real stats provided by flightstats.com, so they vary by delay, airline, and flight. The bot adds 5% profit margin above the probability of delay derived from the stats.

    The source code is at https://github.com/byteball/flight-delays-insurance, you can use it as template for your own bots.

    Main news for the last three months:

    Byteball version 1.10.1
    : recovery from seed on light clients and other improvements

    Byteball sports oracle now supports Soccer, MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL. You can browse the past and upcoming games and find the feed name for entering into your p2p betting contract. And with the new contract forms, it takes very little typing to make a contract. After the outcome of the requested game is known, you'll get notified by the oracle.

    Bytes included in Kaiserex recommended portfolio:
    https://www.kaiserex.com/what-is-the-recommended-portfolio/

    Now we have a bot that sells blackbytes for bytes. The sale is through a conditional payment smart contract, so the bot can't scam you.
    The rate is fixed, and it is a unidirectional sale only, the bot doesn't offer the reverse exchange.
    The bot is already in the Bot Store.
    Source code:
    https://github.com/byteball/conditional-token-sale.
    You can easily change a few parameters and use it to sell your tokens.

    Price oracle was extended and now also posts total market cap of all crypto coins and BTC dominance percentage (as reported by coinmarketcap).
    The new data feed names for smart contracts are:
    TOTAL_CAP - total market cap in billions
    BTC_PERCENTAGE - BTC percentage of total market cap
    Example posting:
    https://explorer.byteball.org/#WTg0OQD+nyO6SnXqQuO0PDT57TzsKG7ARnYgrmulm4k=
    Now you can make p2p bets on these numbers.

    If you are a merchant, join Byteball cashback program and offer 10% cashback funded by Byteball!
    https://t.co/Ex6k7GE29B

    Betting bot added to the Bot Store:



    The bot is trustless for backers (works via smart contracts) and trustful for layers who want to make the markets.

    Welcome lottery bot:



    It is an in app lottery in which you can play using your Bytes. There are three different game modes to participate in. Win large amounts of Bytes depending on the number of players on the principle of "the winner takes all". All games are provably fair. Each lottery comes with a game and proof hash which lets a player validate and prove the results against manipulation.

    Version 1.11.0 released
    https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

    It adds the ability to create single-address wallets. These wallets have only one address and the change always returns to the same address.

    For many users, the concept of the change going to a new address after each transaction was confusing, and with single-address wallets they get more familiar experience, even though this comes at the expense of privacy.

    But the main motivation to add single-address wallets is to support applications that require a stable identity.

    Starting with this version, you can use single-address wallets to run a manual oracle, right from your wallet, without having to run a node on a server. This allows you to run a prediction market for a future event, enable users to make contracts (bets) referencing your address as an oracle, and when the outcome of the event is known, you post its result from your wallet:



    In this version, you can also manually attest other users and post arbitrary data into Byteball DAG. We'll use this data-posting functionality to assign human readable names to tokens issued on Byteball (now they are shown as cryptic hashes).

    In the future, we'll see even more applications that require stable identity provided by single-address wallets.

    An update about future distribution plans

    So far, bytes were mainly distributed via airdrops to holders of BTC and Bytes, and a relatively small portion was distributed through the cashback program. We started this free distribution with the purpose of getting the currency as wide spread as possible, and while the purpose stays the same, methods can change. The airdrop method worked well to get the initial user base, but it also proved to be the least efficient in terms of user acquisition cost.

    Over the next few months, we'll add more methods of free distribution.
    One of them is already being developed, I expect it to be ready in the first half of December.

    The new methods are designed to grow our user base faster than the money supply.

    While the new methods are still untested, it is early to drop the airdrops. That's why the next round of distribution to Bytes and BTC holders is tentatively planned for the full moon of March 2, 2018. The rules are the same as in the previous round:

    For every 16 BTC you receive 0.1 GB,
    For every 1 GB you receive additional 0.1 GB,

    and similar rules for blackbytes.

    This round can be postponed or even canceled depending on performance of other distribution methods.

    With the release of Byteball wallet version 2.0, Byteball users can send Bytes to email. Even if the recipient is not in Byteball yet.

    The sender just writes an email address where he would normally write a Byteball address:

    When he hits “Send”, his email app is opened with prefilled text for the recipient. The sender can edit it before sending.

    The recipient receives an email like this:

    He clicks the link and the money is added to his balance. If he doesn’t have a wallet yet, he is prompted to install in order to receive the money.

    Simple as hell.

    When the sender is on a mobile phone and switches to “Share via message” tab (see the screenshot above), he is able to use all the options available through the phone’s standard “Share” menu: text message, Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat, Signal, Viber, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Skype, etc. The recipient receives the same link, but through a chat app:

    In any case, the money is delivered through text media, that’s why we call ittextcoin.

    The textcoins might be delivered through insecure media, such as emails or unencrypted chats. That’s why it is recommended to use them only for small amounts or through end-to-end encrypted chats, such as Signal, WhatsApp, and iMessage.

    If the sender makes a mistake in the email address or chooses a wrong recipient, the money is not lost. The sender can claim the money back using the same mnemonic. It is saved in the wallet for such occasions, and a “claim back” link is available on transaction details page.

    More details here.

    Private chat rooms now available on Byteball

    With the explosion in the use of chat apps such as Whatsapp and Telegram during the past few years, it's pretty clear many people have decided they prefer to text than talk.

    Keeping with the times, Byteball community member Papabyte released this private chat room bot which enables multiple users to chat privately from within their Byteball wallets.

    The bot decrypts messages and relays them to other users after re-encryption.

    Easily convert multiple currencies to Bytes

    Community member Tarmo888 released this currency converter for Bytes. You can use it to convert USD, EUR, GBP, BTC and many other fiat and crypto currencies into Bytes. An added benefit is it shows the conversion in Gigabytes, Megabytes, Kilobytes and Bytes.

    The tool also remembers which currency you converted before, so you do not need to find it each time in the drop down menu.

    Super useful and super simple to use. We suggest you bookmark or save the link, as its very likely you will use it!

    Byteball Cashback program lowers barrier to entry

    Community members btctry and ruiluntran published various resources on Github which aims to make the barriers to entry for the Byteball Cashback program for offline shops much lower. For example:

    Cashback App - This app makes it fast and easy for e.g. waitresses in restaurants to provide the Cashback to customers. Hopefully it will soon be added to Google Play and the Apple App Store.

    Printed materials for merchants - Here you can find printed material for merchants e.g. in a restaurant or at the cashier of a shop.

    Excellent news from Venezuela

    Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro has ordered the country’s consular services, as well as several other services and gas stations, to accept any cryptocurrency including the nation’s own petro.

    This is excellent news for the ongoing Byteball Use-a-Thon in Venezuela, especially as real name attestations are approaching 20,000. Community member Punqtured gave us his current thoughts:

    “Right now we have 35 teams working on creating use cases, exploring ways to utilize the Byteball platform in general. That's 80+ young, energetic students that - apart from the prizes in the Use-a-Thon contest, know that there's probably around $50,000 (provided 3/4 got converted to btc or sold to exchanges by now) in circulation right where they are.

    If that doesn't create at least a couple of interesting projects, I'd be surprised…….Much of this, is all about lighting the spark that ignites the rocket.”

    Bosch Hackathon recap

    Our new Head of Marketing and Strategy Development Valerius Coppens published this excellent summary of the hackathon Byteball attended in Stuttgart towards the end of May.

    Byteball founder and lead developer Tony Churyumoff attended the event and had this to say:

    “I was there and helped the guys learn how to use chatbots, payments, smart contracts, etc. on the Byteball platform. It was a pleasure working with them! Another outcome of this event is that I had to (finally) write developer docs about smart contracts on Byteball.”

    If you’re interested in the developer docs (as a growing number of developers seem to be) you can find them here.

    Thank you CryptoUnicornRider

    CryptoUnicornRider is a Byteball fan who champions the project on Twitter. When we say champion we don’t mean tweeting “buy Bytes, soon moon”. We mean intelligently responding to tweets such as this from Jimmy Song, a well known figure in the crypto world. Thank you CryptoUnicornRider, your support is not going unnoticed!

    есть, мне лень переводить.

    Там байты, темные байты и еще недавно появились текст-коины, плюс еще несколько монет на этой платформе вышло. Точнее разве что по скринам смогу подсказать, так не очень понятно, о чем ты.

    Давай в русскоязычной теме дальше.
