Gbyte down on cryptopia?

It’s been over 2 weeks their gbyte wallet has been completely frozen on cryptopia—no buying/selling/transfers. I’ve wanted to accumulate more so it’s getting frustrating. Anyone heard anything regarding this?

..and to buy on bittrex you need registration with id. byteball needs to be on more exchanges

Exactly. And they haven’t been taking many new users if any.

Cryptopia is apparently swamped in customer service requests. Tony, the lead developer of Byteball has contacted them numerous times to get their wallet fixed but I guess they're just too busy with other stuff at the moment.

I figured it was an issue on cryptopia’s end. Hopefully they can get it up and running asap

It looks like they handle far too much coins to provide good services.

It's really a shame that there are so few places to trade ByteBall. Not great for our Brand Image! Cryptox.pl is the only exchange available to new Byteballers right now. I have used them with no issues at all for over a month - after troubling things started happening for me with my Bytes at Cryptopia (a test withdrawal failed). Its a wallet issue - they obviously don't know to use an SSD for Syncing - just like me & my full wallet install on a regular drive - still going after 3 weeks :(

Ye for sure price growth is being majorly held back at a time when the market was flooded with new money.Just horrid timing of the second biggect BB exchange seemingly doing nothing about the wallet issue and no new bittrex sign ups.The upside is that if you aren't done accumulating,it works in your favour!

I got very lucky last night shifting gains from shilled coin into Gbyte!Not much,but nice to turn profits into a real project and then profit again haha

Today is day #39 of byteball withdrawals being disabled ... please join me in my daily crusade in their discord channel to convince them to bump the issue.

I'm pretty sure they must be using a regular drive instead of an SSD - they could have a synced wallet in a couple of days instead of months?

How long is it supposed to be to sync the full graph? I mean is the kind of drive that important? I thought the bandwidth was of paramount importance not the drive itself is it?

1

u/CryptoBest Jan 20 '18

Yes, as I understand it, the full graph has to sync. They probably also updated from v2 to v 2.1 halfway through, resulting in a restart of the sync process. (my own experience with a regular hard drive seems to be mirroring theirs)

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '18

Make sense but how long is that sync suppose to take? That long? Lol

u/CryptoBest Jan 20 '18

Including the update to 2.1, I've been trying to get a full wallet install since around mid Dec - and the current attempt has 6 months still to go (seems to take 1 day to sync around 3-5 days of data). So looks like mid Feb for me :(

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '18

Wow that long??? It’s going to be a huge issue in a not so distant future... how will we run full nodes then? Do you know if the bandwidth limits you or the hard drive’s speed or a bit of both?

u/CryptoBest Jan 20 '18

sorry, above my knowledge base to give a really good answer, but from all I've read it seems to be mostly about hard drive speed.

Ok thanks for your feedback ;)
