Obyte in first place

Team Obyte has become the current world leader in terms of the amount of daily CPU power being donated to the World Community Grid! A huge thank you to all the Obbies that continue to donate spare CPU capacity to social causes whilst being awarded Bytes.

See the original announcement on our integration with the World Community Grid if you would like to join them. We currently have 1,390 active contributors.

New development tools grant awarded

A grant was unanimously approved for the creation of a wallet service and client library to interact with Obyte. The tools will make it easier for application developers to build on the Obyte platform, even those people that are not too familiar with it.

China-based developers Alan Guan and Bili Wang will be building the tools. Alan has been active in the community for some time, and built BBfans (in Chinese) among other things.

Ukraine and Germany events

June 14, developer Tarmo will be giving a presentation and running a workshop at Blockchain Hub Kyiv, Ukraine. If you are in Kyiv and plan to attend, fill in this form.

June 17, various people from Obyte team will be giving a presentation at CryptoMonday in Stuttgart, Germany. This event will also be streamed live on this Youtube channel.

Foundation wallet account

Talks have started with lawyers to start the process of moving the undistributed Bytes and Blackbytes to both cold and hot multisig Obyte wallets belonging to the new Liechtenstein registered Obyte Foundation. Needless to say, this is a very important task and not something to be rushed. Obyte Founder and Lead Developer Tony will be speaking again with the lawyers on June 23.

BIoT Wallet progress

BIoT Wallet stage two has been completed. For example, the developments mean you could make small payments every 15 seconds to view a webcam stream. Google accepted the Android app, which is now available to download from Google Play. Application support and documentation have also been added.

With the explosion in popularity of streaming services like Netflix and Spotify in recent years, it could be reasoned the future of content consumption is more likely to be many small micropayments for streamed content, rather than one large monthly fee, the model used by Netflix and Amazon.

Reminder — BIoT Wallet is a project to make a wallet for payments in both the real and virtual world.

Tiny goldfish becomes mini whale

On May 31 the King of Goldfish Draw Airdrop prize was won by somebody who had only 1 point. The previous week the Prince of Whales prize was won by somebody with a balance of just 9 Gigabytes.

Remember, since December Obyte has been distributing Bytes and Blackbytes (around $5,000 worth) to two lucky winners every Friday. Increase your chances of winning by referring others to the draw or adding to the Byte balance of your Obyte wallet. See the original announcement for full details.
