Steem Use-a-Thon update

There are currently seven participants who have entered the competition to develop use cases using the Byteball platform. See the weekly update, which also contains links to some blog posts from several of the entrants.

Examples of some entries:

An idea that would enable easy and convenient outsourcing of tasks and subsequent rewarding of contributors by use of Byteball Smart Contracts. This would enable trust between two unknown or sometimes anonymous parties on GitHub/GitLab.

Bytes-Steem exchange service reducing much of the hassle for users when exchanging between the two assets.

Reminder — it’s not too late to enter! See the original announcement for details on how to do so. The current prize fund stands at 22 Gigabytes (it has increased since the original announcement).

How to raise ICO funds (without all the hassle)

Luke Angel of Byteball recorded a video overview of the Byteball ICO offering. The general feedback has been that the Byteball ICO offering is compelling, but the video audio isn’t the best.

We will be adding a new ICO section to the Byteball website soon. It has taken longer than expected to build, but it is near completion.

BB Odds introduces a mode for bet makers

Just in time for the new NFL (American Football) season, BB Odds released their biggest update so far with an additional mode for bet makers.

A bet maker is someone who offers odds for others to take. Basically, the same as a traditional bookmaker, but in this case, you can be the bookmaker.

Some further improvements were also made. There are now also Hong Kong, Malaysian, Indonesian and implied probability % odds, in addition to the decimal (European), fractional (British) and moneyline (American) odds which have existed since launch.

Before the launch of BB Odds, did you know so many odds formats existed? Byteball newsletter writers certainly didn’t.

Byteball Javascript library tutorials

Community member Genievot has published two excellent tutorials on getting started with the Byteball.js, the new JavaScript library for Byteball (currently in beta).

Understanding the basics covers things such as integrating the Byteball.js library in index.html, as well as getting to know the working of basic functions of Byteball.js. The second tutorial covers how to create a web page that sends bytes to any Byteball wallet.

Trade The Odds nears launch

Some months ago we featured Trade The Odds. TTO is an upcoming decentralized P2P betting exchange powered by the Byteball platform, which is being developed by Byteball Community members. The original plan was to launch during the summer, but like many projects, development has taken longer than anticipated.

We can inform you though, that the launch is near. Among other things they have been working on integrating sockets.io to make the order book super slick. They hope to go live before the end of September, but the exact launch date has not yet been specified.

Grant request for creating development templates

A new grant request has been submitted for the creation of development templates for building apps on the Byteball platform. As always please submit any feedback in the #grants channel in the Byteball Slack.
