Have you heard about Byteball ? On the 9th July I received about $280K (revealed) plus (hidden values) worth GBYTE absolutely free

Do you know about Byteball & it's fair distribution ?

Byteball is a completely new cryptocurrency with totally new consensus algorithm DAG (Directed acyclic graph). To know more about DAG algorithm you may navigate to  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph.  DAG is Byteball's backbone where maximum crypto currencies use blockchain. For this Byteball has no block size issues, because it has no blockchain actually. Instead of blocks on blockchain, every new transaction references one or more earlier ones (parents) by  including and signing their hashes. The links among transactions form a DAG. 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).  

Mining, Fees & Money Supply

There is no PoW (Proof Of Work), no PoS (Proof of Stake), and no mining. All coins are issued to a genesis address from which every full moon we get free bytes. 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. There are only 10^15 bytes (1 Million GBYTE) existed. 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.  
 1 GB = 1000 MB ; 1 MB = 1000 KB, 1 KB = 1000 Bytes, So, 10^15 Bytes means 1 Million GB 

Some Interesting Features of Byteball


1. Conditional payments :  You set a condition when the payee receives the money. If the condition is not met, you get your money back. With this great feature you'll able to do exchange bytes to other assets or, bitcoins & vice versa without help from a middleman. A great & true P2P exchange is possible only on Byteball platform, it's sheer different from Bitsquare. 

 2. P2P payments in chat : You can pay any person via chat by adding their wallet device to your wallet device. Oh! I've forgotten to tell that a nice chat app is integrated to your Byteball wallet, it's decentralized, privacy protected & fully encrypted. 

 3. Prediction markets : Forget about Gnosis . Byteball has a strong feature to create a P2P smart contract that can be unlocked if a specific event occurs. Use it for betting on price movements and insurances also. 

 4. P2P insurance :  Buy insurance from peers to get paid in case a negative event occurs. Sell insurance for profit.  

 5. P2P betting :  Do you love to bet on soccer matches ? It's very easier on byteball platform now. Bet against other users on sports events without any middleman. 

 6. Chatbots :  Shop by chatting with a merchant's bot, pay in two clicks. Exchanges and other services are also easy to use in conversational interface. 

 7. Assets and on-chain exchange (Atomic exchange):  Bytes is the native currency of Byteball.  Any User 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.  
 8. 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).  
 9. Private untraceable payments : The most interesting feature is Byteball's fully private untraceable payment system.  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.  When you want complete privacy, pay in blackbytes, a cash-like untraceable currency whose transactions are not visible on the public database, they are sent peer-to-peer instead.  
10. Multi signature : For security, you can require that your funds be spendable only when several signatures are provided, e.g. from your laptop and from your phone. For shared control of funds, signatures from different people may be required.
11. On-chain oracles : When dealing with untrusted counterparties, you can lock the funds on an address that is spendable either by you or by the counterparty, depending on the events registered to the database by trusted data providers — oracles.
12. Immutable storage : Once stored in the Byteball database, the data can neither be revised nor removed.
13. Settlement finality : After certain criteria are met, a new transaction becomes final. It cannot be revised even by a powerful attacker. No guesswork about the right number of confirmations, no 51% attacks.

There are also a lot of features, to know more please, visit Byteball's official homepage : https://byteball.org/ &  Read the whitepaper.

Now, I share a superb video uploaded on wiki.byteball.org by Jore Bohne. 



In this video it shows how the conditional payment really works. So, to exchange two different assets between two individuals we do not need any other third party exchanges or escrows. All is made through P2P exchanges via smart contracts. It's a fantastic feature built on byteball platform. This is also called "Atomic Sweep". What is "Atomic Exchange ?" When two parties sign a single unit that executes both legs of the exchange, the two transactions either happen simultaneously or don't happen at all. It is no longer necessary to trust any centralized exchanges.

Visiting deep inside the Sundarbans & spent days with Bawali - Episode #09

In the last October-November I visited Sundarbans, the world's one of the largest mangrove forest. It was also declared as world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997. In this forest a numerous wildlife species exist - birds, reptiles, fishes, amphibians and also the king of the forest "Royal Bengal Tiger". The ganges dolphins & crocodiles are also living in the canals of Sundarbans. Chital is a one kind of spotted deer living in this forest. The rural life in the area of this coastal forest is also very attractive. They basically maintain their lives by collecting honey, woods and fishes. In the native language they are called as Bawali. I spent some days with them. Here I share some of my tour photographs of Sundarbans and Bawali -- Bawalis are preparing to cook in the jungle Look at the sky through green tree branches and leaves in the jungle Deep Inside The Mangrove forest Sundarbans Camera : SONY Model : DSC-W710 Location : Sundarbans, West Bengal, India Sna...

[repost to inform more people about it] An open source data encryption software for steemit users

I repost this article only for informing more people about this software I made. This encryption tool was developed in Visual Basic 8. This software is to be used  for encrypting any text data. As we know on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be used. And also  POSTING ,  ACTIVE ,  OWNER &  MEMO private key are very long.  It’s impossible to memorize this passphrases. So, what can we do ? Maximum users saved the data without encrypting it in their note pads, which is very dangerous. If hackers or, anyone get this data then he will gain access our accounts & for a result all accounts shall be compromised.  So, encryption is very important. Encrypted data can be saved everywhere & also be shared with anyone without any risk. I know there are a lot of free password keepers & encryption programs exist. But, maximum are not open source programs.   My main objective is to provide such type open-source progr...

What I Learnt Today : 10 Unknown Amazing Facts About Animals - Part XLVIII

image credit (1) The peacock mantis shrimp can throw a punch at 50 mph, accelerating quicker than a .22-caliber bullet. (2) A prison in Washington pairs up “death row” shelter cats with select inmates as part of a rehabilitation program. It seems to be a pretty wonderful thing for both the inmates and the cats. (3) Because beavers’ teeth never stop growing, they must constantly gnaw on objects to keep them at a manageable length. Their teeth would eventually grow into their brain if they didn’t maintain them. (4) On average, there are 50,000 spiders per acre in green areas. Bet you’ll think twice before going outside now – unless you’re this guy. peacock mantis shrimp   image credit (5) Be careful if you own ostrich. Very often ostrich kicks can kill a human.

A strong password generator program with source code

In my previous post  https://steemit.com/programming/@royalmacro/a-free-open-source-data-encryption-program-for-steemit-users  I share a data encrypton tool with source code, now, today here I share another program, a strong password generator with source code. This program will generate strong, hard-to-guess passwords. I’ll do it by hashing together “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key”. If you use the same secure master key for every password generations then you do not need to write down or, memorize your generated passwords. When you need your password then repeat the same procedure to re-generate it. If your “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key” are not different then you will generate the same password. If you use only one secure master key then you have to only memorize your master key, not the passwords. Lets try it ! Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”. ...
