It seems the byteball referrals system is fixed

Apparently you no longer need to worry about the bots stealing byteball referrals since the direct links are supposed to be working now.

Here is my link herewhich should now be working. Just click on the link and download.

If that is the case it is no longer necessary to send addresses around to one another and have them sniped by the referral rewards stealing bots that were stealing referral rewards.

[Update] these links are definitely working, here is a result from one that only used the link.

If you still want to have some fun with the stealer bots, after you are done attesting you steemit account, send small amounts around and you could be able to game the bots to sending you some bytes... (if that is your thing) its not much, about 1c but will keep those bots busy. You can see if you have successfully gamed the bot by looking in your history.

It works great if you have two wallets set up on different devices, say one on your computer and the other on your phone.
