Byteball Poll

in #cryptocurrency • 7 years ago

Byteball is a cryptocurrency which has recieved very little attention due to a lack of advertisement.

I recently posted this post on reddit the other day asking why byteball is so much less popular than IOTA.

I thought it'd be good to take a poll of public opinion on Byteball. To that end, please resteem so this poll gets attention, then comment below with answers to the following questions:

  • Had you heard of the byteball cryptocurrency prior to this post?
  • Had you heard of IOTA prior to this post?
  • If you know about both, then which do you think has the most potential and why?

    I pick Byteball, technology is way more advanced than IOTA while marketcap is 35x lower. See:

    What are the main similarities and differences with the other DAG-like Crypto IOTA?

tonych: IOTA also uses DAG, and this is the only similarity.
Everything else is different:
– IOTA uses PoW. In Byteball, the ordering of transactions is based on main chain
– In IOTA, parts of the DAG can be orphaned. In Byteball, there is no chance of orphaning
– Byteball has transaction fees, in IOTA there are no explicit fees (but users still have to expend resources for PoW)
– In Byteball, there are deterministic criteria when a transaction becomes final. In IOTA, there are no exact criteria, it is still probabilistic
– IOTA is a single token currency with only plain payments, Byteball has multiple assets and smart contracts
– In IOTA all payments are public. In Byteball, there are assets that are transferred privately

    I have never heard of Byteball, and have been reading a lot about IOTA recently.

    To be honest Byteball looks way more under developed, I'm not even sure why they should be compared?

      I think they're similar in their ability to fix scaling problems by using a DAG instead of a blockchain. Do you think byteball is under-developed or just lacks advertising and why?

      Just basing my opinion off their website and easily googled information. It seems a bit amateur. I find it hard to take a crypto seriously if they can't get the fundamentals right. I know that's a little shallow, but it is a starting point for sifting through the hundreds of cryptos available.

      Dude...no you didn't and it's easy to verify that...even so this is obvious bot spam and it tells me you don't respect the platform so I flagged you :)
