Bytes can now be bought using Visa or Mastercard through Indacoin. Unfortunately Indacoin does not currently operate in the US, and is therefore not available to US residents. However the listing gives many people an easier way to buy bytes than was available before. There is a 50 Euro minimum and the fees are also rather high, but the benefit and ease of use of a direct gateway between bytes and fiat money is a huge plus.



A couple of super interesting grant applications were submitted for Byteball funding this week:



Byteballer Evgeny Stulnikov submitted this proposal to create a system for IoT (Internet of Things) and micropayments that will run on the Byteball network. Watch out IOTA, Byteball has Evgeny! Byteball founder Tony C responded to the proposal:



“I fully support this proposal, Evgeny is very enthusiastic about using BB in IoT and has been working in this field for some time already.”



Elsewhere, neversaynever submitted this proposal to distribute bytes to people that donate CPU power to the World Community Grid. The World Community Grid currently has nearly 750,000 volunteers, so this could be an excellent method of growing the Byteball community.



Both applications received overwhelming positive community support and were approved by the Byteball trustees.



Reminder: if you have an idea that you think would benefit Byteball, join the #grant channel on Slack and share it with the community.



Have you tried binaryballs.com yet? Reminder - it’s the the only anonymous binary trading platform dedicated to cryptos and it runs on the Byteball network. Seb486 just wrote this excellent article on how to use it.



Disclaimer: binary trading can lead to huge profits but also huge losses very quickly. Don’t trade unless you have bytes and balls.



Wekkel also wrote this very, very detailed tutorial on email attestation. Remember, Byteball email attestation means someone can pay you by sending bytes to your email address without having to type in your complex Byteball wallet address. Does this matter? Well, Paypal has grown to over 200 million users and more than 10,000 employees based on this concept.



Punqtured wrote this field report titled: Revision 2018 - the aftermath on distributing tokens worth free beer at a large event. It makes for some interesting reading! We all know there is no such thing as a free lunch. Free beer does seem to exist occasionally, but giving it away can be a challenge.



Finally, Fan Of Byteball created this video on why he loves Byteball. We like his proactive attitude to spreading the word. If you appreciate it too, feel free to send him a few bytes at:

Don’t be camera shy! Get your phone out and make a similar video the next time you have a couple of spare minutes. Seriously don’t think about it, just do it. Don’t worry about having to edit it either, you do not need to reshoot the video if you mess up. Just send the raw video file to paul@byteball.org and he will get it edited and uploaded to the Byteball Youtube channel (which we are in the process of fixing). Or you can upload to your own channel, whichever you prefer.
