___
- Ability to partially recover from seed in light clients
- Visual improvements of contract creation pages
- Improved performance of sending and receiving blackbytes
- Fixed an issue that caused the app to sometimes crash on Android phones with system language set to Turkish (that was tricky!)
- Fixed an issue where Android app sometimes failed to start
- Fixed an issue when resending received blackbytes to cosigner devices could crash the cosigners
- Reworded the light/full choice page shown when the app starts for the 1st time. In the old version, many users were confused by the names and were choosing "full" without realizing what it is.
- Multiple small bugfixes
- Improved translations

« on: 18. August 2017., 00:52:55 »Reminder about next distribution rounds incoming from the dev's original post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg20789294#msg20789294
As already announced, we'll now distribute bytes between rounds as cashback for purchases at participating merchants https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg20686283#msg20686283.
Distribution on top of existing balances in Bytes and BTC continues too. The next round is on the Full Moon of September (September 6, 2017 at 07:02 UTC):
BTC to bytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 6.25 MB (0.00625 GB)
BTC to blackbytes: 1 BTC of proven balance gives you 2.1111 * 6.25 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
Putting this another way, to receive 1 GB from the distribution, you need to already hold 160 BTC or 10 GB. These same holdings also give you 2.1111 GBB (giga-blackbyte).
Watch our announcements to learn about merchants who join the cashback program (contact me if you are a merchant and want to apply).

___
From post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg20686283#msg20686283
___
After August 7 we'll reach more than 50% distributed coins and will start a new phase of our distribution.
___
It was stated from day one that the purpose of this distribution is to get this coin into the hands of as many people as possible. Both coins (bytes and blackbytes) are meant to be used as currencies, and this is only possible when there are many users and apps to interact with. We already have a sizable community, a number of unique apps, and we are the only crypto project to have an app distribution platform (the Bot Store), but there is still a lot of room to grow in terms of user count, number of apps, and willingness of users to use these apps.
___
Up until now, we were distributing only to holders of BTC and Bytes, i.e. we were rewarding holding. Now we are adding actual users into the mix, i.e. we are going to reward transactions.
___
To get you an idea of how we are going to do it, we are going to partner with several categories of companies:
- merchants
- payment processors
- "Bitcoin debit card" companies
and offer 10% cashback, paid in Bytes, for all qualifying purchases (no matter how the purchases are paid). The cashback will be funded from the undistributed pool. For example, a customer who bought for $100 receives $10 cashback in Bytes, paid to his Byteball address, at the current exchange rate. For merchants, this is something that would drive sales and they would put effort into promoting the offer. In competitive industries, a 10% cashback is a very powerful tool to lure customers. For customers, this is a 10% discount (which matters a lot in some industries). For Byteball, it is new users who will have to get involved into the system in order to receive the cashback.
___
A few companies have already expressed interest (not disclosing the names while it is a work in progress).
___
A few extensions of this offer:
- 20% cashback if the purchase is paid in bytes or blackbytes. This would incentivize merchants to start accepting bytes and blackbytes, and the infrastructure will stay after the distribution ends.
- merchants can offer additional cashback to their customers. Merchants fund it themselves by buying bytes from the market, and for every 1% funded by the merchant we add 1% more from the undistributed pool.
___
If you see similarity with existing loyalty points schemes, it is similar indeed.
___
At a minimum, we receive many new users who learn about Byteball from their merchants, plus working payment integrations. And the users are not just crypto fans, it may be their first crypto coin for many users. With the most user friendly wallet in the industry, we are in the best position to expand beyond the crypto village.
___
We can continue adding 10-20% to existing byte balances to incentivize keeping the received bytes before more infrastructure is built, rather than cashing out immediately.
___
Two negative sides:
- the scheme is less transparent than plain adding on top of existing balances, and some share of fraud is inevitable. Merchants might try to deceive us to receive coins for themselves by reporting nonexistent sales or selling to themselves. This is mitigated by good choice of trustworthy merchants and our ability to disconnect any merchant at any time on suspicion of fraud. Their customers can also try to find ways to abuse the system, again we'll require the merchants to prevent that by excluding some types of purchases, monitoring customers, enforcing caps, etc. Additionally, if the merchant funds part of the cashback himself, he has skin in the game to counter the customer fraud.
- these new users are not holders for the most part, they are more likely to sell. Not a big problem, the point is they already know about Byteball and it's easy for them to get back. The new users are new to crypto, many of them won't use exchanges, and somebody will have to create new easier-to-use channels to fiat, which is positive for liquidity. Also, 10%-20% monthly distributions discourage fast selling while the distribution is ongoing. And lastly, the merchants who fund 50% of the cashback would partially balance the markets by buying coins.
___
On balance, I'm sure that these negatives are tolerable when we are going to achieve a vast expansion of our user base and acceptance at merchants.
___
For the current distribution round, nothing changes.
___
For the next distribution on September 6, we are changing the ratios in favor of Byte holders and slowing down the distribution to have more time to build out the cashback program:
___
BTC to Bytes: every 160 BTC gives you 1 GB from the distribution (or 0.00625 GB per BTC).
Bytes to Bytes: every 10 GB of existing balance gives you additional 1 GB from the distribution (in other words, +10% to existing balances).
___
Similar ratios for blackbytes.
___
For those who receive their first bytes from cashbacks, Sep 6 will be the first distribution when they receive +10%.
___
I'll make announcements as we add merchants in the cashback program.
___
From post by Byteball Dev here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg20789294#msg20789294
Distribution of bytes is complete.
160,424.226385661 GB distributed in this round ($56m at the current prices).
526,327.234762955 GB is the new available supply, which is 52.6% of the total supply. Coinmarketcap is already updated.
___
Distribution of blackbytes will take roughly 3 days, I'll update you when it is finished.
___
Distribution of blackbytes is now finished too.

Version 1.9.1 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases
* Android app now displays balance almost immediately after starting
* Hide balance before the password is entered when starting a password-protected wallet
* Bugfix: smart wallets created based on other smart wallets are now visible
* Bugfix: when using "Send all" sometimes the wallet was sending only part of the balance
* Bugfix: sync could become stalled if sending a new transaction while still syncing
* Additional checks to prevent creation of unspendable addresses which occasionally happened on some Android devices
* Ability to re-send private payloads to other co-signers on multisig wallets
* Ability to delete multisig wallet whose creation was not finished
* Sync progress is now displayed as date (percentages caused confusion for many users)
* Multiple UI improvements
* Multiple small bugfixes
* Small performance improvement
* Improved translations
Special thanks to @CorePrime95 for multiple UI improvements and bugfixes.

Today we are launching Byteball Grants Program. We’ll pay for work that improves the ecosystem. We want the contributors to both come up with new ideas and realize them.
Similar programs have worked or are still working within other projects such as Dash and Ethereum and proved their success, e.g. Casper and MetaMask came out of Ethereum DEVgrants program.
The grants will be paid from our Community Fund which is funded by donations and undistributed blackbytes.
The process of awarding the grants will be as public and transparent as possible. Below are the rules, they might be amended in the future and evolve as we gain experience. If you have any ideas how to make the platform better and ready to do it yourself or with your team, feel free to apply.
