I don't plan to post too much more about Byteball as I expect most people have claimed some by now, but couple of people asked me how they can cash out what they got. See my previous post if you want to let me refer you.
Some of the airdrop is locked up for a year in a smart contract, but you can sell the rest. To make it easy there's a chat bot. I think I had heard about it, but this post by @teamhumble prompted me to try it.
You give it your Bitcoin address. I used that of my Wirex card wallet. This debit card is available across Europe. There are various fees involved, but I find it very convenient. You have to provide various ID to prove who you are and that can take a while to sort out. Note my link has my referral code.
After the bot takes your address you are directed to send some bytes to a specific Byteball account. I assume this is created just for the transaction. It's interesting that Byteball does not allow you to add a memo to a transaction like Steem does.
Once they receive the funds you just have to wait for the Bitcoin transaction to complete. A few minutes later I saw it in my Wirex wallet. I can then convert it to pounds that I can spend. You can see I don't have much in there yet, but then I haven't used it much. I plan to use it to cover my Steemfest costs.
I hope this little guide is useful.
- I'll buy guitar picks for Steem Dollars
- Get a Wirex Debit Card to spend your crypto.
- Steemians can get Byteball airdrop
- Get some passive income with Mannabase

Cool beans!
I did go the other way.
Headache everywhere.
I use cryptopia and I have to wait
a million second for confirmation, just kidding.
Your approach is neat and easy I guess.
Keep on postin'
Well done this is very useful coin
I think I am just going to hodl mine and wait to see if the price will go up. The small amount I have right now, wouldn't really buy me much except maybe half a tank of gas!
Most of what I have is locked up for a year, but I see this as a windfall to make some use of. It will be interesting to see what the rest is worth when I can take it out
For sure! I guess with my rep being where it is, I didn't get that much anyway!
This reminded me to move my Byteballs into GDAX via Bittrex. Not the same method as you but I have done it now.
It seems I could have got a better rate, but it's all free money
I didn't fare too well using this method. My $21 turned into $17. Bittrex take a big cut. I have an account with them, but have not used it before.
thanks for this , because of you i know now that i can directly send my bytes to my BTC address , i was planning to have it changed to fiat via person because i don't have this idea
really , thank you @steevc , this is very helpful post ❤️
I don't know if you can get a better rate elsewhere, but this is a very convenient way to do it
I have sended my Byteball 20$ to bitrexx and from there directly to SP. works like a charm...
The more of these services that turn up, live, grow, die, evolve, expand etc the more useful crypto becomes. It's an interesting time right now and I think the second half of the year will see some cool new stuff happening.
For 0.5GB, you would be getting around 0.008536 BTC through bittrex.com! :D This bot is having a high conversion rate!!
It's free money, so I don't really mind

I'm assuming you already have what you need. You should make that clear and not try to get more.

Already have what you need.
You should make that clear.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Adress wallet
Sent, but I see you asked other people too. I hope you tell them you got it already. Do you know what to do next? Go to the Steem Attestation Chat bot and follow the instructions
If you do not stop sending your wallet to people I will flag your comments. This is bad behaviour

He has transferred those to some other address! He really is spamming :P
He seems to have stopped for now. I can trash his reputation if that's what he wants, but that's a last resort
