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](https://steemit.com/byteball/@steevc/byteball-is-working-again-if-you-want-to-benefit-from-the-airdrop) 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](https://steemit.com/byteball/@teamhumble/88ya1df6) by @teamhumble prompted me to try it.

You give it your Bitcoin address. I used that of my [Wirex card wallet](https://links.wirexapp.com/MpmB/4bTIQcutbK?action=affiliate-register&code=bjRZpvkK8UOQ2wkKVKEg2w). 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.
