how many of us wish we bought more earlier on?

 Cry

I took my own advice, and then some. Grin

Hope my analysis and reasoning was of benefit to everyone else as well.


Well the rewards went down & DGBs price followed it, someone on cryptsy just mines the coin & dumps every block, if the reward comes down more with luck it will not be worth mining anymore to dump & possibly the price will go up a bit......TBH if the price continues to fall we will not be far from Pandacoin prices

I have tried many many time to get others involved......you should see the look on there faces when i show them the price charts
There has got to be some kind of BIG marketing plan real soon or this is going to be a very very long road to recovery if any recovery at all

Like i said before once you lose the interest of the customers its far to hard to get them to return even if you have something major to offer they will be reluctant to buy in again

We need something fast Jared i sincerely hope you can pull this rabbit out the hat


I know that ready made phrases can seem to be superficial and inadequate consolation, but I'll still sum up my thinking on this by saying that I'm firmly of the opinion that it's not a question of IF but WHEN (assuming the Devs don't shoot themselves in the foot and self-destruct, which is always an outside chance).

DGB is still the most profitable coin to mine with GPU technology (and probably with ASIS technology as well, but I haven't done the analysis to be able to say so categorically), and as long as that is the case, and as long as there are miners desperate to pay off initial investment costs as well as daily operating costs (good luck to them on that one), people bringing fiat directly into digital currencies will have a hay day buying DGB. That's the current dynamics of the situation that there's no getting around, and I am confident that if we were to meet both groups at a cocktail party, the only ones complaining would be those miners selling at a loss.

Take advantage, and take whatever fiat you can allocate for the purpose and buy DigiByte. Every balanced portfolio should be made up of at least 1% of DigiByte in my humble opinion. That would be around a $1000 USD, or, at current prices, around 22.5 million DGB, for the average portfolio for people aged between 45 and 65. Is that what you've got? I'd go so far as to say that everyone should have at least 20 million DGB, even the newest entry into the workforce, since that even in spite of not having an investment portfolio to begin with, at that age a speculative investment of $1000 USD can easily be recouped in one's working lifetime. I'm so convinced about this that I would say to everyone reading this thread, that if you're following DigiByte and don't have at least 20 million DGB, you'd better start asking yourself what in the world you are waiting for.

It was made at the height of the breakout when price was making new short term highs. Maybe it was made in reference to that.

I think its all about the addresses your wallet choose to take dgb's to send.
If it takes from many addresses the fee is higher. Well I don't know exactly how it works but I have seen that fee's depends on addresses and number and amount of incoming transactions..
If you try to choose manually the source the fee will be always the same.

Not sure what you mean by choose manually.

I tried several more times than I took screenshots, and the fee constantly changed. It would even add a fee for 15k, but not 20k or 30k. It made no sense at all.

I even got 'too large' trying 300k, but it would allow 500k.

Something funky is going on...

Can anyone else do some testing and see if you get the same results? You can test without sending coins, you click cancel after it tells you what the fee will be.
options-->wallet-->expert--->enable coin control features

then at send you will see coin control features.
if you choose input you will find all addresses that holds coins for you.
there you tick the one you like to use for sending.
check one and you will see the results at send
Oh, that's pretty cool. I didn't know about that. Thanks!

I just put up a post on the subject in the Asistec TI forum: http://asistec-ti.com

I don't see why a lack of transaction reversing in the wallet is a problem. Most reasons for people to reverse a transaction are not because of a flaw in the currency system, it's due to a flaw in human actions.

People have to think of cryptocurrency as cash, not as a credit system.

Think of how you use cash for transactions.

Is there a way to reverse a cash transaction? No, you have to ask the person for the cash back, and it's up to them to give it to you. If they don't, you are basically out of luck. This is not a flaw in the way cash works. If it was, people would have stopped using cash long ago. (Example: You hand someone $20 instead of $10. That's not the fault of the currency.)

If you want someone to provide a service and you pay them ahead of time in cash, you are trusting them to provide that service. If they don't, then you have to ask them for the cash back, or you sue them. There is no way to automatically reverse this transaction. This is a problem with a person trusting a person to do something. This is not a flaw in the way cash works. (Example: You need your car repaired and they ask for $500 before they fix it, but they never fix it. That's not a fault in the cash, that's your fault for paying ahead of time.)

You can reverse a credit card (CC) transaction, but that isn't cash. If there is a fraudulent charge on your credit card, you contact the CC company and they investigate and credit your account. They can't reverse that payment, they have to ask the fraudulent party for the money back or sue them. It's up to the CC company to resolve, or they absorb a loss like this. This is not a currency problem, it's a business problem with the CC company paying without verification. (Example: Company X double-charges your credit card. The credit card company pays Company X. That's not a problem with the currency, that's a problem with the CC company not verifying the charge, and the CC company will pay you back out of their own pocket after investigation.)

This is why people use credit cards. Think of credit cards as a 3rd party acting as a type of consumer protection. This should not be the job of the currency.

About the "Sending to the wrong address" problem - The ability to reverse a transaction is not the problem, verifying the correct address is the problem. If you need to transfer money from your bank account to someone else's bank account, do you blindly send to whatever account number they give you, or do you verify with them first that it is the correct number (you read it back to them or something). This is what crypto needs, some sort of encrypted over-the-internet digital handshake ability for verification before a payment is sent/processed.

Should address verification be part of the wallet? I don't think so. I think it should be a different application that runs in concert with the wallet and has access to your wallet's address book. To me, the wallet is simply that - a wallet in your pocket with cash in it that you can quickly use if you don't need to verify addresses.

I agree that paying someone the wrong amount or transferring to the wrong address is due to human error.  However, I don't think that where it's possible to reduce or eliminate the human errors, that it shouldn't be done.

Often one payment method is chosen over another because it offers some form of protection or convenience, or complies with a regulation.  

I think the important thing is to give someone an option to use a feature, not force it upon them.

I'd love to see a DigiByte wallet that offered the choice to make an ad hoc payment, as it does now, but also an option to setup a "verified address".  

This "verified address" could be setup in the wallet using some sort of 2 way communication, possibly with signed messages with reference numbers and a small "dust transaction".  This could then verify the identity of both parties, if they wanted or required it to transact.  In addition during the setup the parties might specify whether or not they would allow transactions made to be reversed or not, and possibly the window allowed to reverse the transaction.

We could then have an additional "Verified Addresses" filter/tab perhaps with a different coloured checkmark next to each address to indicate if reversible transactions were allowed.  Taking this a step further, if the data could be stored in an external database, it would then allow integration with point of sale or online payment systems.

A system like this would allow those who didn't care for it, or require it to ignore it and continue to transact anonymously.  It may however get those who currently won't use cryptocurrency for transacting to consider it.

I think those are some excellent thoughts and ideas from both of you.

bogglor, I agree with everything you say except for the possibility of being able to sue since anonymity of transactions (adequate transaction documentation) would make that impossible - with cash you would ask for a receipt of some sort documenting having paid and that would not be possible with current digital currency technology.

AlexMc, your suggestion would go a very long way towards solving the problem I just mentioned above as both parties would be clearly identified and specifically tied to the transaction; moreover, if the option were given to the wallet owner to make the "verified addresses" setting a required default for all transactions, that would also go a long way towards making theft much more difficult (and whoever wants to ignore that additional security level would be free to do so . . . to each his own  Wink ).

if that plan goes through imagine what would a happen, in the world of cryptocoins

Well, you never know what might happen. The governments and banks can just copy the open source codes and implement their own blockchain like coins and allow it to be exchanged it with FIAT, without publicly allowing exchange on their coin unless you dont create an official account on their banking system? And this way, all the minor coins die right away including some dark style coins... Maybe only BTC, LTC and PPC will survive in that case Huh Imagine all solid companies create their own coins ? Apple will have a coin named ICoin and company shares will be sold in ICoin or any other FIAT and you can use ICoin to buy Apple products or where ever it can be used.

Or maybe the founders of the coin should officially create a company or banking system for its use if that is really worth it. Dont know... ?

If banks only copy the blockchain system, all existing coins may still have a great chance to die since there will be no need for them any more. Time will tell.
We have to take the governments in to the ring ugh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbB01TkcelM

I've been saying this for months now - much of the time putting up with people ridiculing the idea - that the digital currency that GETS OUT IN FRONT OF THE CURVE will be the winner, and that means LEADING THE WAY IN TRANSPARENCY. Every coin must be clearly assigned to its rightful owner - if not, no-one but the riskiest will participate. And the irony of the matter is that sooner or later the surviving digital currencies (if they survive trying to swim upstream) will be forced to do that anyway! So why not leverage your foresight and get out in front of the curve while you can?


How can we use some of this guidance to continue having DGB lead the pack?

Bill Gates: Digital Currency Can Help the Poor, But Not Bitcoin

Bill Gates has high hopes for digital currency as an important banking tool for the poor. But Bitcoin isn't one of those currencies, he said in a Reddit AMA today. At least not in its current form.

Gates extolled the value of digital currency in his AMA last year as well, explaining that since many poor people in developing countries don't have access to traditional banking, it's not financially worth it for banks to put branches in areas where the amounts stored and transferred are so small, leaving the poor at a huge disadvantage when it comes to exchanging, saving, and accessing money.

Mobile banking costs almost nothing to process, so it actually is worthwhile for banks to provide the service. That means digital money offers an opportunity for mobile banking, and hence the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is so gung-ho about giving people more ways to store their money.

So why not Bitcoin? The billionaire philanthropist and redditor called it "an exciting new technology" in today's AMA, but he doesn't think it's a very good tool to make banking easier in emerging markets because it's so volatile and because it's anonymous:

    We don't use bitcoin specifically for two reasons. One is that the poor shouldn't have a currency whose value goes up and down a lot compared to their local currency. Second is that if a mistake is made in who you pay then you need to be able to reverse it so anonymity wouldn't work.

Bitcoin has been touted as a potentially revolutionary banking tool for the poor, and it's likely Gates' remarks will rankle the community. But he did offer an alternative, highlighting the uses of local digital currency like Kenya's M-Pesa over anonymous cryptocurrencies:

    The foundation is involved in digital money but unlike Bitcoin it would not be anonymous digital money. In Kenya M-pesa is being used for almost half of all transactions. Digital money has low transaction costs which is great for the poor because they need to do financial transactions with small amounts of money. Over the next 5 years I think digital money will catch on in India and parts of Africa and help the poorest a lot.

This definitely highlights some serious potential for DigiByte in the arena. We are working on a strategy for the developing world for DigiByte.

Don't take my word for it, hey the likes of Bill Gates says the exact same thing.

Oh, and there's the SMS, low cost, simple transaction thing we were talking about just a few short posts ago . . .


Jared, what about getting in touch with Bill Gates? Or his foundation anyway? I'm sure there's someone there who'd be willing to talk and you'd be expanding your contacts list if nothing else. You might start out with an introduction and then a lead-in to your possible interest in taking DigiByte in the same direction of Kenya's M-Pesa (doesn't mean you're going to do it, just that you're interested in sharing ideas, and I'll bet a ton of DGB that it'll open doors).




HR,

Getting in touch with Bill Gates is a great idea. We are looking to contact many people like him in the very near future. We need to get people like him on board with DigiByte for sure.

The idea of remittance with DigiByte in developing countries is a perfect fit for our emphasis on micro payments and speed.

I know you're on it. It'd be just another possibiltiy to add to the many you've been working on, not the least of which are the connections you made at the 1st Digital Currencies convention for Bankers last summer!

The Federal Reserve System just released a 58 page report talking about upgrading the entire US Banking System, potentially on a blockchain like setup.

https://fedpaymentsimprovement.org/wp-content/uploads/strategies-improving-us-payment-system.pdf

Federal Reserve Bank’s Vice President and Research Director David Andolfatto stated:

“You could actually see which bank is sending money to which bank on this ‘Fedcoin blockchain,’ so if the Fed was to make an emergency loan to one of these entities you’d be able to observe who is the recipient of the loan and how much,”

Sounds like they're interested in paving the way towards total transparency.

Would love to have the same pics i'm using for windows only then for linux and OS so i can make those as well.

The video looks good. Where you had thanks before, how about something corny like "Welcome Aboard!" . . . I say corny because I'm not too sure about the idea . . . and maybe nothing is best.

BTW, there's only on pic for Ubuntu. I posted a link to it on the forum in the wallet install thread for Linux. (I think the real HOWTO for this one would be the Ubuntu install INSIDE windows and then the wallet install - seems like a very secure option.)

Great developments happening here. Good job everyone. Congrats DGB once again!

I've got some third party initiative to throw into the mix that hopefully will be met with approval and live up to it's potential:


Since I am convinced that one of the best ways to help an established digital currency gain wide scale adoption is by educating on the subject, and since educating can only be done with reliable and dependable information that is easily and freely accessible, I have made the decision to do my small part in that effort by creating a comprehensive consolidated knowledge base on the subject that’s available to anyone wishing to learn more on the subject.

Now, that is not only a mouthful to say, it is also a very ambitious undertaking! One doesn’t build a comprehensive consolidated KB overnight! Nevertheless, the daunting nature of the endeavor should not discourage one from accepting the challenge – quite the contrary: it should be wholeheartedly embraced, especially when the cause is so important.

People who are new to digital currencies are equally daunted when trying to understand even the basics of the concept, let alone how you go about actually buying, or mining, or both, and then storing their digital currency. Just getting them to understand and accept the intangible nature of digital currencies is a major undertaking.

If we who are experts on the subject were to shy away from the challenge of helping them to learn, then we would be doing no more than contributing to the eventual future failure of digital currencies themselves. It’s understandable if someone who has no stake what-so-ever remains skeptical and asks us to come back another day, but it’s quite another for those of us who are already digital currency owners to shrink at the effort of better explaining what digital currencies are and what they have to offer. Make no mistake about it, this is no altruistic effort to help others by any means: this is a selfish effort to promote something we already believe in but that the majority still sees as pie-in-the-sky. Make no mistake about it, we owe it to ourselves to take on the challenge of helping newcomers to understand and participate since there is no better way of taking digital currencies to the next level – mainstream – and creating value in our investments as price rises as a result.

I firmly believe that “priority number one” right now needs to be the gathering together of all pertinent information on the subject and its urgent dissemination. It’s a task that will take hundreds (if not thousands) of man hours, and one that I dearly hope to have your collaboration with. That having been said, I don’t expect miracles even with all your help. As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, but if we make a consistent and prolonged effort, over time, little by little, I’m confident that the job can be done.

In summarizing, one extremely important “missing” element in the digital currency world is a consolidated information source freely open to the public that empowers newcomers with the information necessary to “take a leap of faith” and get involved. In my opinion, the resulting benefits of this kind of resource to the digital currency world would be gigantic, and, of course, it’s not only the newcomers who benefit, but all of us as we each successfully contribute our own small part, in each of our areas of expertise, towards the mass adoption of our own investments – we all gain in the process, there is no doubt about it.

With that in mind, I invite everyone to contribute what you can. No contribution is too small. No contribution is insignificant. Everyone, and everything, counts.

As I said above, I have made the decision to do what I can to help make digital currencies, in this case DGB, more easily understood to the general public, and that has taken on life in the form of a “barebones” forum and FAQ that I hope will serve as the foundation from which to start building. I would very much appreciate all your input and help . . . I’d probably be better advised to put that in plural: WE would ALL very much appreciate your input and help! Again, it’s in all of our interests to do so.

Hope your presence and impact is felt over there just like it is here, and many hearty thanks in advance.

My knowledge of crypto is really limited, but if there is anything I can do to help just
let me know, would love to do something for this great coin.

No contribution is too small. Everyone and everything counts. I don't want to sound too trite with all my favorite clichés, but I'll risk another one: the only stupid question is the question not asked.

What I'm getting at is that even questions are valuable; in fact, they are fundamental and there is nobody better to help with questions than someone just starting out. You are not just welcomed to register and participate, your questions are encouraged, and if you go beyond that by actually following and testing out the HOWTO's posted in the FAQ and comment back your feedback, even better still.

The only way you can't help is by not trying to begin with - I promise you that what help you do have to offer will be much appreciated by all.

Thanks for your interest, and hope to see you and your questions and feedback over there on the forum.

Transaction too large error when sending

Hi

Anyone else had this error when trying to send DGB from the Digibyte Core v3.0.3.0-g354c0f3-MultiAlgo (64-bit) wallet.  The transaction in question was for 1 million DGB.  

I then managed to get it to send successfully for 879000 with a transaction fee of 0.04 DGB being added.  When I tried again a few minutes later it seemed happy to send 1 million DGB, but this time it added a transaction fee of 2 DGB.  Weird...

Any ideas.

I have seen doubling transaction fees on successive transactions quickly made one after another (e.g. .02, .04, .08, etc). I have also seen the fee immediately go back to zero if you wait 30 seconds or a minute after a string of successive transactions quickly made one after another (e.g. .02, .04, .08, wait a minute and send again). I have also seen the entire pattern repeat itself if sending many transactions quickly again after having gone back to zero fee after a wait period.

The fee, and its size, seems to be linked to the number of "sends" a user is trying to include in the same newly discovered block; however, that may be entirely wrong and it could be the number of users and their aggregate "sends" at the time that determine whether there is a fee or not and how much it will be. Since my experience is limited, I cannot give you further information or a better answer.

I am not aware if the Dev Team has published information clearly describing and informing on how this works. If they have, maybe someone could point us in the right direction to find that info, and if they haven't, I'm sure the Devs will make the effort to answer your question by making that information available to us as soon as they have the time to write down a few lines.

Very good question BTW. Thanks.

@DigiByte

Site looks sweet. I agree with earlier comment "clean & simple".

If we are looking to begin picking up those unfamiliar with crypto then the only input I would have is maybe some explanation regarding the different types of wallets. Differences between mobile, web. desktop & alternate wallets. Advantages & disadvantages of each and how the work together.

@everyone else

I read on the CANN thread about there being Opal wallets containing a remote access trojan that has not been detected by AV & Malware software. It sounds like at least on person on the CANN thread lost coins.

I can't vouch for the validity of the claim but definitely something to investigate if you have an Opal wallet.  

Online wallets are by far the most dangerous to your financial health (of course, most people will pay little attention to this kind of common sense . . . look at all those who were "investing" in the latest "double your money in a couple of days" scam where the operators made off with almost 100 BTC!).

Now that the HowTo's for the Wallet Install for Linux and Windows are pretty much done, I'll make this my next project.
