New resource for developers

We have created a new resource for developers, which should help developers getting started using the Byteball platform to power their apps.

Some example sections developers may find useful:

We also wrote a short piece on why developers would build on Byteball vs other platforms, namely Ethereum. If you are a developer that is building for a distributed ledger, please explore Byteball! The platform has many benefits that are not found elsewhere, and getting started is more straightforward than you might expect.

Questions? Ask them on our subreddit.

BIoT wallet grant approved

A new grant has been approved for a wallet. But this will not be any ordinary crypto wallet! The wallet will be for payments in both the real and virtual world, and will allow you to pay through channels, make regular payments, prove your identity etc. Applications for interaction with devices will also be supported.

The grant was awarded to Evgeniy Stulnikov, who also works on our Byteball Internet-of-Things (BIoT) project to make IoT friendly.

New distribution for Byte holders

As we emailed earlier this week, the latest distribution rewards people that hold Bytes. Distributing funds again to existing Byte holders has been a popular request in the community for a while, and we are pleased to bring it back.

The first draw took place December 14, 12.00 UTC. All participants will automatically be entered into next week's draw, as long as their wallet has a balance. Remember, the more Bytes you have in your wallet, the greater chance you have of winning!

Slack to Discord?

We have used Slack for group chat for sometime. It was once quite widely used by other crypto projects but most seem to have moved, with Discord seemingly the most popular. Would you rather use Slack, Discord or something else? Please let us know!
