There's three major players implementing the DAG contrary to the blockchain based platforms. Byteball is perhaps the least known of the three, but I have a feeling it'll change soon. The IOTA-hack a couple of days ago definitely didn't hurt Byteballs chance of wider acceptance :)
In my view, Byteball holds a phenomenal potential. Their wallet is super easy, really user friendly, and the number of applications it already offers is actually quite impressive.
So it's really a huge pleasure for me to be able to provide a way for danish speaking people to adopt this project!
Project Details
Byteball implements the DAG technology, that effectively solves the scaling issues that blockchain-based currencies are struggling so hard to get about. The project recently added a Know Your Customer feature, that bridges crypto currencies and real world applications. To me - this is the right aproach - instead of fighting "the real world", Byteball embraces it, and incorporates it, providing a way to leverage an unaguably brilliant tech.
Some features, I need to highlight
·Awesome wallet (not yet for iOS, though)
· KYC feature
· P2P trading
· Prediction markets
· Smart / Conditional contracts
· Simple and Multisignature wallets
· No need to generate wallet seeds on 3rd party websites :-p
· Sports betting
· P2P betting / insurance markets
· 100 % private/anonymous currency called blackbytes
The features are numerous already - so if you're sick and tired of ICO's promising you the world, but never delivering, Byteball would be the thing you need to check out!
The translation of The Byteball App
I started working on this two weeks ago. During the course of translation, I was using the wallet myself. Learning how things worked and got accustomed with the lingo of the app. This, I believe, is absolutely crusial to be able to provide a proper and correct translation.
Links related to the translation
Here's a couple of really useful links for you to dig into. To know a bit more about the project, or to download the wallet!

Source Language
Source language was english
Translated Language
Danish is now 100 % completed and ready to be implemented in the Byteball App - needless to say, there's no more words to translate.
Number Of Words
According to the below screenshot, 1878 words were translated and 1878 were approved. Not counting the number of second thoughts, having to dig through the GitHub repository to find context where it was lacking etc.
Number of words translated on this contribution: The lot :-)
Proofread Words
Now, this project was done over the course of almost two weeks. Much time was spent re-checking all strings and using the actual app (yes, I actually placed a bet on some hockey team I have no clue about are good or not - but they won \o/) and performed three re-runs through all strings to make sure consistency was intact. (Even made sure "blackbytes" shouldn't have an uppercase "B") so even though the stats say 1878, those 1878 words were re-checked at least three times each. But I guess that doesn't count.
Previous translation on the same project
There was no previous work on the danish translation of this project.
Number of words translated on the project before this report (if any): 0
A final word of thanks must go to everyone who helped me during this work, no particular order:
· Testz for providing a bit of insight
· Suirelav for explanation and validation of a correction to source language
· slackjore for providing explanations of some of the tech
· saintflow for comments and views on suggestions
· Ruah and samhamou for "stealing" precious hours for something else ;-)
Final statements
Really nothing left to say now, except perhaps thanks to Winnipeg Jets for being an awesome ice hockey team, that won me a nice little bet
