Wallet 2.8.0 released
The latest wallet has been released and features several improvements:
Dollar amounts are now displayed when sending Bytes, so you’ll know exactly how much dollar value you are sending. Thanks to textcoins you don't even need to know their wallet address.
Witnesses are now shown with their names and a URL to learn more information about them and make an informed choice.
Badges are now displayed on the history tab when new payments are received.
Arabic was also added, which is the first language written from right to left to appear in the wallet. See the new version on Github and screenshots with brief explanations.
Developer contest round 5
This round was the first to demonstrate how Autonomous Agents could be combined with external systems like chat bots. As with previous rounds there is a detailed analysis of all entries submitted, with the winners as follows:
1st - Joint Account by hey_monkey
2nd - ByteKeeper by vik
3rd - Birthday Fiddle by whoisterencelee
Best tutorial - How to set up Obyte devnet for rapid development by pmiklos
Last chance to enter!
The deadline for round 6 of the developer contest was yesterday, which means there is only one round to go, round 7. If you have development abilities please considering entering. Around $5,000 worth of Bytes and Blackbytes will be awarded to the winners of this round. See the announcement on how to enter.
Development opportunity
Obbies in China are looking for developers to work on two projects in return for payment. The work will involve the development of exchange bots/web applications. Please see Weijun’s October 10 post on the Discord #job-offers channel.
Best of both worlds
A video was added to blackbytes.io explaining how Blackbytes combine the physical benefits of cash with the digital benefits of distributed ledgers better than anything we are aware of.
Developer?
Chat with the chatbot to see why you should enter the Autonomous Agent contest - it’s not only about the generous prize fund.
