Byteball Improvement Protocol

## BBIPs

A Byteball Improvement Proposal (BBIP) is a design document providing information to the Byteball community, or describing a new feature for Byteball or its processes or environment. The BBIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature.

We intend BBIPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Byteball. The BBIP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.

Because the BBIPs are maintained as text files in a versioned repository, their revision history is the historical record of the feature proposal.

José Carioca

A handsome man

Donald Duck Army (boyfriends)

Huey Duck (adopted nephew)

Dewey Duck (adopted nephew)

Louie Duck (adopted nephew)

Lilo (friend, president)

Toon Link (friend)

Tarrant (friend)

Froppy (friend)

Daffy (friend)

Meg (friend)

Bugs (friend)

Belle (friend)

Garfield (enemy)

Elsa (enemy, also she's a puta)

Toadette (enemy)

Miku (enemy)

Toodles (enemy)

**José Carioca**, also known as **Zé**, is an official who was originally allied with Webby, but switched to Lilo's side.

## Background

José was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is where he spent most of his childhood. After his girlfriend (read: beard) Rosinha Vaz left him and took the kids that weren't even hers in the first place, José travelled to America, where he met and eventually fell for Donald Duck. But it was not meant to be. Eventually, he met Panchito Pistoles, and being a disaster gay, fell for him too. They got married, and adopted a son, James. All was well until Panchito killed himself, but was shortly thereafter revived by Gyro Gearloose. The family continued to live peacefully until the deaths of Panchito and James. As of late, José has been trying to avenge the deaths of his loved ones, and has recently been seen flirting with (read: throwing himself at) Donald, apparently never getting over his feelings from years ago...that is, until Panchito returned from the dead, and José immediately went back to his loving ar--oh wait, Panchito dumped him. Poor fucker, he's been Tonari Ni'd like five times now.

## Personality

José is generally very laidback, although he will often spit insults at others. He can be very sarcastic at times. He is known for being stubborn, as seen when he desperately tried to argue that he was best princess against the much more popular and well-loved Elsa. José also seems to be the jealous type, and he is very protective of Donald and Panchito. He is also very good with kids, as seen in his interactions with Huey, Dewey, and Louie (especially Huey).

## Appearance

José is a green parrot with red and blue tail feathers and red eyes. He wears a yellow suit and matching hat. When not wearing this, he wears a pink-and-white outfit, similar to Carmen Miranda. He is usually seen with a cigar and an umbrella.

## Trivia

* He is best princess.
* He seems to have a fondness for the music of The iDOLM@STER, especially the song "Tonari ni..."
* He is second only to Donald Duck in terms of gayness.
* He hates Elsa because she's a snow whore and a puta.
* He is susceptible to mind control from other princesses (and Miku), who have inherent bird-controlling abilities.
* He hates the Aracuan Bird with a burning passion, because the Aracuan Bird stole his cigars.
Henry C. Dissell (1863-1909)

**Henry Clay Dissell** (1863 - December 7, 1909) was a law book publisher and prominent in democratic politics.

Dissell was born in 1863 in New York and received his education in the common schools of the city. In early life, he entered the employ of the Denber-Hampton Watch Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, and later removed to Canton, Ohio. Subsequently, he lived in Jersey City. In 1893, he removed to Waterbury, Connecticut, where he took up the study of law, reading law in the office of C. F. Carmody with the intention of beginning practice. Instead, his attention was directed to the publishing and sale of law books. In 1899, Dissell removed to West Hartford, purchasing the home of Ida Raynsford on Sedgwick Road.

He was also active in democratic politics as a member of the state central committee in 1904.

On December 7, 1909, Dissell died in West Hartford at the age of 46.

## Family

Dissell married Anna M. Simpson.

* Edward E. Dissell - m. Dorothy Geer
* James F. Dissell - m. (1) Helen Scarborough (2) Dorothy Ramsey
* Richmond Dissell
* Christine Dissell
* Henry C. Dissell, Jr.
* Ethel H. Dissell

## Organizations

* Nominated as State Democratic delegate in September 1902; March 1904
* Resigned from the Democratic state committee in September 1904 after they frowned upon his ambition to be the nominee for comptroller in New Haven.
* He did not attend the State Democratic convention in September 1906, claiming they left him in the cold.

Marshmello

H-Hewwo?

### Relations

Deadmau5 (boyfriend), MO (friend), Beppi the Clown (friend), Toon-Link (neutral), Spongebob (neutral),

### Powers

Flight.

Marshmello is an alien that came from an unknown planet. He speaks in a "whats this? OWO" tone and has no idea what it means on Earth/the internet. He acts childlike and makes messes a lot, along with running around unsupervised. Because of this, he has to be locked up in Deadmau5s garage. It is not a punishment, but a form of safety since Marshmello is still new to Earth.

To keep his alien identity hidden, Deadmau5 had called him Chris. But it soon leaked and Deadmau5 had dropped the name, but Mello liked the name so much he kept it and loves to be called by it.

Marshmellos alien culture is still a mystery, but it was obviously a race that never believed in violence. They were peaceful and never worried about attack from other alien races, and they mostly engaged in celebrations that involve eating candy and "uwu"ing.

It is assumed their planet was attacked, however, and Mello was one of the only to escape. This means his species might be endangered. He doesn't remember leaving his planet, though. It is presumed he had left on a ship, and in a crash he had lost some memories. His ship hasn't been found yet.

Mellos only two alien abilities are his ability to form small wings, and the ability to make his head glow and change colors, similar to an LED display.

## **Personality**

Marshmello is in his 20s, but he behaves like a small child. This is due to how his alien culture were, meaning most of his species acted like this. However, Mello isn't a brat. He is very nice and calm most of the time, only acting immature when Deadmau5 isn't around. He can be very clingy to people since he can't defend himself, but that also means he cares a lot.

Because of his nature, Mello is very easy to manipulate and is naive. So Deadmau5 still has to teach him between the rights and wrong and how to tell if a person is suspicious or not.

## **Past**

He has seemingly forgot everything about his past, and can't remember anything. He was found near Deadmau5's house, sleeping in a field, where Deadmau5 took him in due to pity. Deadmau5 had thought Marshmello was a normal guy with a few screws loose, but had soon found out he was an alien who's culture was much different from earths. Later, Deadmau5 started to date him because of how close they had gotten, and Mello still currently lives in MO/Deadmau5s house.
Polls

This is to record Byteball poll results from Twitter etc.

## Twitter 2018-01-25

**Poll for #Byteball wallet holders, have you made a simple payment to another wallet? (91 votes)**

* (53 votes) 58% Yes, I've sent Bytes
* (14 votes) 16% Yes, I've sent others too
* (11 votes) 12% No, I've 0 Bytes for fees
* (13 votes) 14% No, another problem

### Notes

**Purpose of poll:** To get some idea of what fraction of wallet-owners had done the simplest task

**Follow up:** (1) Send #3 people maybe 20KB so they can make 20+ tx; (2) Ask #4 people for details.
**Results:** Sent about twice the number of #3 people 20 KB; ZERO #4 people answered the question!

**Conclusions:**

## Twitter 2018-02-16

**Poll for #Byteball people on fun-coin experience, per http://wiki.byteball.org/fun-coins. Have you received fun-coins, either from a friend or the free wallet faucet? Have you sent them? Simple payment? Textcoin? Smart contract? (18 votes)**

* (9 votes) 50% No, not at all
* (3 votes) 17% Yes, received only
* (4 votes) 22% Yes, simple or textcoin
* (2 votes) 11% Yes, in a smart contract

### Notes

**Purpose of poll:** To get some idea of usage of fun-coins

**Follow up:** ...

## Twitter 2018-02-24

**The #Byteball-Altcoin Exchange Bot in the wallet Bot Store exchanges over 60 altcoins to Bytes, Bytes to altcoins, or altcoins to altcoins. Have you ever used it? (165 votes)**

* (26 votes) 16% Yes, it worked great
* (7 votes) 4% Yes, but had a problem
* (39 votes) 24% No, but used another bot
* (93 votes) 56% No, not used any bot

### Notes

**Comment:** Should have specified for Byteball holders. Should have included "$GBYTE". It's not clear if "not used any bot" includes responses from non-Byteball holders.

**Purpose of poll:** To get some idea of what fraction of wallet-owners have used the altcoin exchange bot, or any bot. Also to promote both ideas.

**Follow up:**

## Twitter 2018-02-26

**An unofficial poll for $GBYTE users. Of these four options, choose #Byteball's Unique Selling Proposition: Smart contracts, oracles? Easy token creation, with private KYC, ICO functionality? Textcoins, made from any platform asset? Chatbots in the Bot Store? (70 votes)**

* (30 votes) 43% Smart/conditional payment
* (8 votes) 11% Platform for own tokens
* (17 votes) 24% Textcoin, using own token
* (15 votes) 22% 20 chatbots, more to come

### Notes

**Comment:** It is assumed most people answering this poll aren't particularly familiar with **any** of the options, so don't read too much into the responses.

**Purpose of poll:** To possibly get some idea of what Byteball's USP should be.

**Follow up:**... Reported on Slack.

Carl Peterson (1870-1956)

**Carl Peterson** (June 21, 1870 - April 27, 1956) was the owner and operator of the Whiting Greenhouses in West Hartford.

Peterson was born in Stockholm, Sweden on June 21, 1870 to Hendrick Peterson, a farmer, and Charlotte Lenstrom. He was educated in the public schools of his native city, after which he attended a school for training gardeners. After completing his technical studies, he went to work on the estate of Ekman, who was the largest manufacturer of cannons in Sweden. He also served the required three years in the army, his branch being the cavalry. He came to the United States in 1893 and located in Cromwell, Connecticut, entering the employment of the A. N. Pierson Company, where he remained for three years. He then was hired under Thomas Young, a wholesale florist in New York City, whose greenhouses were in New Jersey, for nine months.

Peterson then removed to West Hartford in 1897 to take charge of the Whiting greenhouses under Alfred A. Whiting, the pioneer florist, as foreman. Upon Whiting's death, he managed the place for his daughter, Helen F. Whiting, for nine years. In July 1915, Peterson purchased the plant on Whiting Lane, including the original Whiting residence. He conducted over one hundred thousand square feet of glass with modern equipment. In 1929, Peterson entered his son, Carl E. Peterson, as a partner into the business.

The greenhouses continued to stand on the property adjacent to Whiting Lane School for many more years, finally being removed in the mid-1990s due to the expansion of the school.

## Family

Peterson married Anna L. Matson, a native of Warberg, Sweden, on July 25, 1896.

* Carl E. Peterson - m. Mildred Larson
* Ruth H. Peterson - m. Frederick E. Chapman

In addition to his own immediate family, Peterson had siblings - P. Gustave Peterson, John H. Hendrickson (who died in 1931), and two sisters who remained in Sweden.

## Organizations

* Served as Vice-President of the Connecticut Horticultural Society (up to July 1915 at least).
Platform

This article is about coins/assets/tokens on the Byteball platform in addition to its native currencies of bytes and blackbytes.

## Stress-tests

Any platform must be continually stress-tested, with defects repaired in a timely manner. See the wiki article Antifragility.

## Classification

The distinction of "asset in the financial world = token in the non-financial world" is not always easy to make. For example, with social tokens, "Kisses by Deb" are clearly not likely to be sold for much money, but how about "Plumbing Minutes by Joe Silverman", a qualified plumber, who normally charges $1 a minute for his labour?

## Existing

To date, we have descriptions and articles about:

* Fun-coins
* Family tokens
* Social tokens
* Commercial tokens
* TitanCoin
* ICO bot

## Future

* Local currencies
* Accounting and tax implications of non-trivial social tokens

**English Lyrics - Go Tell It On The Mountain**

While shepherds kept their watching  O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens  There shone a holy light
Go, tell it on the mountain  Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain  That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds feared and trembled  When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus  That hailed our Savior's birth;
Go, tell it on the mountain  Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain  That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger  The humble Christ was born;
And God sent out salvation  That blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain  Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain  That Jesus Christ is born.

Zingos

Zingos are very much like Tangos, except...

## Zingos have two decimal places

Four dollars can be written as $4 or $4.00, and we can have $4.57 too. Similarly, a hundred Zingos (Z for Zingos here) can be Z100 or Z100.00, and we can have Z100.57 too. How this works in Byteball is:

* Z40,000.00 total in your wallet shows on the home screen as 40,000 Zingos by Johre etc
* Z39,164.81 total in your wallet shows on the home screen as 39,164.81 Zingos by Johre etc
* Z100 entered in the Send screen sends Z100.00, which shows in Explorer as "10,000"
* Z100.00 entered in the Send screen sends Z100.00, which shows in Explorer as "10,000".

Be careful not to send 100x the amount you wish to. With Zingos, having zero monetary value, it doesn't matter too much. But you are practising here for when you will be working with an asset of value having two decimal places.

## Read the Tangos article!

All the general dos and don'ts in the Tangos article apply equally to Zingos, so make sure you understand what is written there.

## Differences between Zingos and Zangos

* There are 10^15 Zingos and 9 x 10^15 Zangos
* Ummm...

Hub

## Hub for Byteball network

This is a node for the Byteball network that serves as a relay, plus it facilitates the exchange of messages among devices connected to the Byteball network. Since all messages are encrypted with the recipient's key, the hub cannot read them. The hub does not hold any private keys and cannot send payments itself.

The messages are used for the following purposes:

### Private payment information

Conveying private payment information from payer to payee.

### Multisig adddress

Exchanging partially-signed transactions when sending from a multisig address. One of the devices initiates a transaction and signs it with its private key, then it sends the partially-signed transaction to the other devices that participate on the multisig address. The user(s) confirm the transaction on the other devices, they sign and return the signatures to the initiator.

### Multilateral signing

Multilateral signing, when several addresses sign the same unit, e.g. when exchanging one asset for another, or when signing a contract. The exchange of messages is similar to the multisig scenario above.

### Chat between users

Plain text chat between users; in particular, users can send each other the newly generated addresses to receive payments to.

### Chat with bots

Plain text chat with bots that offer a service and can receive or send payments. *Faucet* is an example of such a bot. The hub helps deliver such messages when the recipient is temporarily offline or is behind NAT. If the recipient is connected, the message is delivered immediately, otherwise it is stored and delivered as soon as the recipient connects to the hub. As soon as delivered, the message is deleted from the hub.

## Hub address

Users set their hub address in their wallet settings. The default hub is wss://byteball.org/bb but users can change it.

### List of hubs

Wallet user: to use one of these hubs in the wallet, change it in main menu > settings > hub.

Antifragility

## Why stress tests?

Antifragility is a property of systems that increase in capability, resilience, or robustness as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. It is a concept developed by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book, Antifragile and in technical papers.

It applies to any cryptocurrency in that a coin's main platform must be frequently stress-tested as it matures, otherwise the live production will break unexpectedly, maybe with disastrous results. Sometimes, like an exchange being severely hacked, it can mean the end of that platform.

## Byteball stress tests

These are community-produced tests, with no "team" input (at present). They are experiments.

### Jan 2018

@portabella has agreed to do one "next week", i.e. Jan 7-13. He provided the address 3JI5LUOH755Y3XV2IYF25M2YG2MNHZST, but it is not clear what for.

The idea is to see if the platform can cope with a relatively large volume of transactions: 10 tps (transactions per second)? 50tps? 100tps? 500tps? 1000tps for 5 minutes?

What seems to be needed is an automated way of producing transactions on the platform, plus a huge number of confirmed inputs to draw from. Because of change address mechanics one cannot just pump transactions out of one single address.

#### Sharing the script

Maybe once @portabella has the script working, it could be shared with the 5-10 other "non-team" devs, and then all could fire away at the set time.

## Comment

> Tonych 2017-02-07: You know, there is no architectural limit in the DAGs. Regarding the practical limits, I don't buy into this race to Visa tps. The most pressing issue of crypto is not tps, it is adoption (which we address in the first place). Tps will come second after the first is solved.

Invest

## Crypto investment questions

Posted in reddit.com/r/dashpay by **forgoodnessshakes** 2017-06-13 and copied with permission.

All crypto-currencies are high-risk investments that can produce a high rate of return or large losses. Is this the type of investment you are looking for?

The best thing is to get to know what you are buying by asking the questions (these are mine, add your own):

* Is it useful?
* Do other tokens fulfill the same need?
* Is it a natural monopoly (likely to be only one token in this market or many)?
* Is it scarce/limited supply?
* Is it actively under development?
* Do you admire the 'cleverness' of the project?
* Is the development reliant on volunteers?
* Does it have a large community?
* Does it have a network of users?
* Does it have first-mover advantage?
* Is it liquid enough to get out in small amounts or in total?
* Is there a large market?
* Can it scale?
* Is demand likely to exceed supply?
* Can you hold it long enough to iron out any bumps in growth?

Review the competitor's criticisms of it - are they at all valid?

Lastly, does the thought of buying it get your Spidey-senses tingling? Do you 'sense' it is undervalued? Then swoop
Referral

## Attestation reward

Every new user who successfully verifies himself for the first time will receive $20 in Bytes from the distribution fund. With $8 they have to spend for verification, it is net $12. The amount seems large enough to care about but not too large to bother about instadumping.

Attestation is available only for single-address wallets, and to avoid confusion, starting with version 2.1, the default ("Small expenses") wallet of new users is created as single-address (nothing changes for old users). Users can still easily add another wallet and make it multi-address for better privacy. The second wallet is not linked to the user’s verified identity and can be used anonymously.

The attestation reward usually takes 15-30 minutes to be paid.

## Referral reward

By referring a new user, the referrer also receives $20 after the referred verifies himself. The referrer must be also verified at this moment. The referral reward takes a few hours to come through.

## Transparency

Smart contract

About smart contracts, the basis of conditional payments ("smart payments"), Byteball's killer feature. And "the competition". Not too technical

## Contracts. Ethereum, right?

**Byteball** does **simple**, human-readable contracts to perform simple actions.

**Ethereum** does **complex**, programmer-readable contracts to perform complex actions.

No overlap.

### But Rootstock?

Rootstock is a centralized smart-contract platform planned to be layered on top of Bitcoin. RSK is just released on Bitcoin testnet.

One post: RSK is EVM on BTC (that is, Ethereum Virtual Machine infrastructure, but linked to and secured by bitcoin's blockchain instead, using sidechains.)

RSK is now supported on Trezor.

## Offering smart contracts

When you want to create a new smart contract with a user, your sequence is usually as follows:

1. You ask the user to send his payment address (it will be included in the contract)
2. You define a new contract using the user's address and your address as parties of the contract
3. You pay your share to the contract
4. At the same time, you send a specially formatted payment request (different from the payment request above) to the user to request his share. You start waiting for the user's payment
5. The user views the contract definition in his wallet and agrees to pay
6. You receive the payment notification and wait for it to get confirmed
7. After the payment is confirmed, the contract is fully funded

Trading prediction markets

Prediction markets are exchange-traded markets created for the purpose of trading the outcome of events. This article concerns using the Byteball platform to do this.

## Definition of "prediction market"

Prediction markets (also known as predictive markets, information markets, decision markets, idea futures, event derivatives, or virtual markets) are [usually] exchange-traded markets created for the purpose of trading the outcome of events. The market prices can indicate what the crowd thinks the probability of the event is. A prediction market contract trades between 0 and 100%. It is a binary option that will expire at the price of 0 or 100%.

Research has suggested that prediction markets are at least as accurate as other institutions predicting the same events with a similar pool of participants.

Бой

* Шары для дальних атак
* Ближний бой
* Дэш / Рывок, чтобы быстро уворачиваться от атак
* Щит, чтобы блокировать атаки, которые слишком быстры, чтобы увернуться

Любой из них может быть дополнен с помощью боевых искусств, которые представляют собой мощные специальные способности, отлитые с использованием специальных очков.

### Боевой Ранг

Победа над врагами заполняет строку боевого ранга в правом верхнем углу экрана. Когда он заполнен, ваш боевой ранг увеличивается на единицу, начиная с D и переходя к C, B, A и, наконец, S. Когда в этом районе не осталось агрессивных врагов, есть период примерно за пять секунд до окончания боя, в течение которого нападение на другого врага позволит вам сохранить свой боевой ранг. Попытка открыть меню пропустит этот период и сразу же закончит бой. В некоторых случаях, например, во время вражеского пикового вызова, бой будет постоянно активным даже без присутствия агрессивных врагов.

В настоящее время единственным эффектом боевого ранга является то, что он увеличивает вероятность падения противника, а некоторые капли можно найти только при высоком боевом ранге. Были упомянуты идеи о том, что высокий боевой ранг может сделать врагов более трудными, или что боевой ранг может медленно

уменьшаться с течением времени, чтобы препятствовать избеганию врагов в течение длительных периодов времени для восстановления здоровья, но они еще не были реализованы.

### Лечение

В то время как Леа быстро восстанавливает здоровье вне боя, восстановление здоровья во время боя является более трудным. Основным методом является употребление бутербродов с использованием быстрого меню. Также возможно оборудовать схемы и оборудование, предлагающие регенерацию HP. Кроме того, некоторые враги, особенно те, которые предназначены для тренировок, могут уронить шарики здоровья при поражении.

Token

**"Asset" in financial community = "token" in non-financial community.**

There is much covered in the Asset article that also applies to tokens, such as creating and naming them. This article's emphasis is on tokens with zero or tiny monetary value, rather than those used more financially.

## Token types

There are four main token types in Byteball. Each is created and named/registered in the same way, but they have different uses. There are also tokens made with no purpose in mind deeper than simply making them.

### Fun-coins

Fun-coins deliberately have zero monetary value because they exist in vast quantity. They are intended mainly for practice with smart contracts, textcoins, or other Byteball features, where it doesn't matter if you mess up and lose them somehow.

### Family tokens

Family tokens use a single token. The family can obtain 1000 generic tokens, "Credits by Jore Bohne", immediately and free of charge from the fun-coins faucet in their wallet's Bot Store. Or they can create a personalised one, say "Joys by Jill Smart", with a bit more effort. They are used in a family token/reward system, designed to improve kids' behaviour.

### Social tokens

   Social tokens are intended for use in a local community, maybe a high school or club, where the people involved tend to know each other. These are tokens backed by real-world goods and services that the issuer will provide on demand. The issuer should honour his or her token, whoever presents it for payment.

### Commercial tokens

Commercial tokens on the Byteball platform would be used by businesses in a local community. They function in the same way as discount or rebate coupons, usually distributed in print either separately or on a newspaper page; online to be printed out at home by the consumer; or sent directly to a consumer's mobile phone.

## Grass roots

Byteball adoption will always be helped by one Byteball fan **using** the platform tokens (Fun-coins, Family Tokens, Social Tokens, Commercial Tokens) etc with their friends and family, and not just sitting on their GBytes wishing the price would go up more.
Zangos

## Zangos have two decimal places

Four dollars can be written as $4 or $4.00, and we can have $4.57 too. Similarly, a hundred Zangos (Z for Zangos here) can be Z100 or Z100.00, and we can have Z100.57 too. How this works in Byteball is:

* Z40,000.00 total in your wallet shows on the home screen as 40,000 Zangos by Johre etc
* Z39,164.81 total in your wallet shows on the home screen as 39,164.81 Zangos by Johre etc
* Z100 entered in the Send screen sends Z100.00, which shows in Explorer as "10,000"
* Z100.00 entered in the Send screen sends Z100.00, which shows in Explorer as "10,000".

Be careful not to send 100x the amount you wish to. With Zangos, having zero monetary value, it doesn't matter too much. But you are practising here for when you will be working with an asset of value having two decimal places.

## Read the Tangos article!

All the general dos and don'ts in the Tangos article apply equally to Zangos, so make sure you understand what is written there.

## Differences between Zingos and Zangos

* There are 10^15 Zingos and 9 x 10^15 Zangos
* Ummm...

Market capitalization

What the term normally means and how it is applied to cryptocurrencies.

## What is market capitalization?

The well-known site Coinmarketcap lists hundreds of altcoins next to their "Market Cap", along with a large amount of timely data on each. But what exactly is a cryptocurrency’s "Market Cap"?

## Normal usage

Market capitalization is the aggregate valuation of the company based on its current share price and the total number of outstanding stocks. It is calculated by multiplying the current market price of the company's share with the total outstanding shares of the company.

"Outstanding" here means not inside the company's own Treasury. Some, even all, of these outstanding shares may have legal restrictions preventing the owners dumping them on the market at any time.

### But unicorns!

Decades ago the term was taken to mean something. It started to look wild in 2000 when TimeWarner, a long-established company with huge real-world holdings of studios, magazines and newspapers, a vast movie back-catalog, and much more got taken over by merged with AOL (America OnLine), an internet upstart with lots of people in offices, billions of distributed CDs to get people onto this new-fangled Internet thingy -- most now in landfills or hanging up in gardens to scare away birds -- and little else.

Today, Uber, the ride-share company app, again has lots of people in offices and owns little else, and somehow is considered -- by virtue of its insane market cap -- to be worth more than Exxon-Mobil with all its heavy-duty oil drilling platforms, pipelines, refineries, 70,000 employees getting their hands dirty out in the real world, and so on.

### Conclusion

A company's market cap does give some indication of the company's size, but don't read too much into it.

## Crypto usage

It is generally taken to be the aggregate valuation of a cryptocurrency based on its current unit price multiplied by the number of units in circulation. So if you look it up at Coinmarketcap, the market cap for Bitcoin is the current price multiplied by the number of coins created so far (about 16 million out of the total of 21 million that will have been created by 2140). And the market cap for Byteball is the current market price multiplied by the number of units so far distributed (about 645,000) out of the total 1,000,000 already created and due for full distribution maybe in 2018.

## No problem, right?

Well, not exactly. It's fine if you don't look too closely. But look at these examples:

**A new scamcoin:** Some lazy scammer instamines 50% (21 million) of the intended final total volume (42 million) of his new coins, *buttclones*. He sells one *buttclone* to a friend for $5. So the market cap of the *Buttclones* platform is $105 million?

**(More examples from real coins should be added)**

## Conclusion

Like a commercial company, a crypto's market cap does give some indication of its size, but don't read too much into it.

Yo-yo

A **yo-yo** is a type of toy consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a string looped around the axle. It takes some skill to operate a yo-yo, and several cool tricks can be done with this toy.

Historical evidence shows that these things have been around for an extremely long time for a toy, even since the times of Ancient Greece, but they weren't popularized until 1928 when Pedro Flores, a Filipino immigrant to the United States, opened the Yo-yo Manufacturing Company in Santa Barbara, California. The word *yo-yo* is said to have originated from the Ilocano language word *yóyo*, which would make sense because a Phillipine popularized it. Yo-yos are known to be popular in Japan.

#### Change the unit from GB to MB

> I don't think it would be a good move now.  We are still traded mostly against bitcoin and the price of MB (0.00013 BTC) with its many zeros wouldn't be easier to read than the price of GB 0.13 BTC

> Guys don't waste your energy on the units issue. @blokchain I saw your excellent post on reddit, and you had far more important points to care about than this one. We are not trying to appeal to stupid "investors" who don't understand that the choice of unit is arbitrary. They are easy to be fooled but we don't exploit them. Everybody is free to use the unit of his choice, it's easy to change in the wallet, and the default is bytes, which already shows amounts as integers (to your point @Phyzy that you prefer integers).
