The importance of backups
Needless to say, knowing how to make a backup is one of the most important things when dealing with crypto. Without a backup, you put yourself in all sorts of risk of losing your funds. As I often say about cryptocurrency: With full control comes full responsibility.
Repository: https://github.com/byteball/byteball
Task specifications
To help people understand how to securely store their Bytes, and knowing that not all users are comfortable reading documentation or written guides, we want to provide a better alternative. A video tutorial showing how easy the backup process is as well as showing the power of a multi-signature wallet.
1. The backup process
A very important detail is understanding the difference between backing up the wallet seed and making a full wallet backup. While backing up the wallet seed will allow the user to restore the Bytes in the wallet, it won't restore private assets such as blackbytes, ICO tokens or smart contracts. Particularly the latter is highly relevant to the vast amount of Steem users having claimed the reward and who now hold Bytes in a time locked smart contract for 1 full year.
There are details to be found on the Byteball Wiki but to some, reading isn't the preferred way of learning and understanding.
2. Multi-signature wallets
The multi-signature wallet is a feature allowing more devices to share access to the same wallet. Any amount of devices can share the same wallet, thereby reducing the risk of losing funds if a device breaks or gets stolen. You can also define how many devices are required to be able to spend funds from the wallet. A typical setup would be 3 devices sharing a wallet that requires at least 2 devices to sign spends. It's called a 2-of-3 wallet. Should a device get stolen, the thief won't be able to access the funds since 2 devices are required to sign. More information on this feature can be found on the Byteball Wiki's wallet-section.
Language / narration
As not all users are native English speakers, we would love to see contributions in other languages than English, too.
Format
Submitted video should be hosted on either YouTube or DTube and embedded in the submission post and must not be older than 14 days. Byteball will link to your videos so contributions must be publicly visible. Both the backup process as well as the multi-signature feature must be in the same video. It can be separate parts, though. Preferably the duration of the entire video should be no longer than 10 minutes.
Deadline
While it never becomes irrelevant to users to know how to make a backup, we would appreciate contributions to be submitted before August 13th. The best video tutorial for each language will be linked to from the official Byteball wiki.
Join the Byteball Slack
Slack is where a lot of Byteball veterans and core team members are to be found. Should you have any questions or need to ping pong your idea for the tutorial, feel free to pop in and say hi. You can get the invitation here. You are also more than welcome to ask @Punqtured on Utopian.io Discord.Utopian for Byteball.org
Utopian.io is running this task request on behalf of ByteBall.org.
Rewards
Rewards generated by this task request will be sent as Liquid STEEM to the task solver once the task is completed, as decided by the Project owner.
Additional rewards will be generated by publishing the video tutorial using the tags utopian-io and video-tutorials on task completed. It is important to know only contributions in English will be eligible for moderation and rewarding by Utopian.io.
I will be taking on this task. Should be able to get something out either tonight or tomorrow.
1 single comment in the 2 hours this was on the Trending page. Great work guys!
The comment is about completing the task, exactly the aim of this post. It was upvoted to load the bounty that goes to the contributor who will solve the task. Not sure I got the issue
The task is a waste of any rewards coming from Steem.
Well that's subjective. I see you flagged it. Others may do the same if they believe so. We are just trying to support a project among with others, as we usually do.
Try doing something like finding a way to get some more full Steem nodes running. You know, something worthwhile...
Not sure if by that you mean supporting projects is not worthwile. In any case that's also something we can support. Utopian itself is planning to run a full node anytime soon

Hi,
is this some kind of paid advertisement for Byteball covered in a task request?
Kind regards
The Secret Service
Hello there, utopian announced that it is going to start offering the ability to do tast requests from it's account (normally the posts are made by individual accounts).
When they are run by utopian's account, utopian will give the full rewards of the post to the solver of the task request.
Hi,
ok thanks! Then I misunderstood the post :)
Thank you for make this clear to me.
Kind regards
The Secret Service
wouldn't it be easier to just do a full backup and save it on a flash drive with a password so you can easily reload it in a year?
Thanks for the great task request @punqtured.
This will be a very useful video tutorial for ByteBall. For future task requests you may want to consider asking for shorter videos. Many contributors may find a 10-minute video difficult to produce and on social media it may be a little long for viewers. You could break the content up and have less functions per video. That is just a thought and I am sure this will be a great video.
The only thing you should alter in this post is to change the tag from "task-videotutorials" to "task-video-tutorials."
Thanks,
Buckydurddle

Have a look at this task request. Might be something you could work on???
@alexendre-maxim @Sargoon @official-hord @rosatravels I see that @tensor is already working on something :)
Wonderful to see it "in print" now :) And quite happy that it seem we'll have a result in such short time. Really looking forward to see the end result of this :)
Great
This is good if we can create back up and keep , because as a human we tend to forget because we are involve with many things at the same time , I will check this , thank you for this update

STOPFunny i love when people think they can tell others who material is trash or not. We're not talking about the oneliners no. true content worth a read only because someone took the time to write it. But i love the bernie warz...as i title them. If steemit is truely decentralized..emem clear thought..WHO THE FUCK CHOSE YOU TO GOVERN OUR THOUGHTS. BE IT TRASH OR OTHERWIZE. IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT WE WRITE STAY OFF OUR PAGES. Everyone always find ways to fuck up perfection. I dont like how they write, boo hoo, get a life and find something contructive to do. So what he spends 50 to boost a post...long game idoit. You mad cause you cant...boo hoo. Investing in the market increases user demand and creates more stability. Now people are creating accounts just to fight the berniebots. Which is strange when steemit was suppose to be open shootout. Reasons why people leave platforms
This will be great. Because I was worried what could happen if misplace my phone. I look forward to the tutorial. The gurus in the house will create.
