We are looking to change the front page of the DigiByte website. This is the initial rough draft of what we are working on. How could we improve this? How could we make it better, what other points are we missing?
We also want to clarify what we meant by dropping the words "Crypto" "currency" and "coin." We are not dropping them from all technical descriptions but materials market toward people unfamiliar and brand new to crypto currency technology.
Remember, this is geared toward someone who has never heard of a crypto currency or of bitcoin. Keep it simple & stupid.
"DigiByte is a secure world-wide decentralized payment network, inspired by Bitcoin. You send & receive DigiBytes much like PayPal & Western Union transfer money but with vast improvements, including lightning fast transactions with minimal or no fees."How can I use DigiByte?
1) Aquire DigiBytes: You can buy DigiBytes by trading money such as the USD for them or you can trade digital currencies such as Bitcoin for DigiBytes on several digital currency exchanges. You can also acquire DigiBytes through a process called “mining.”
2) Spend & Earn DigiBytes: Once acquired you can buy and sell goods & services with DigiBytes all over the world from an ever growing list of merchants & retailers. You do this be sending or receiving coins via a DigiByte address that works like a bank routing number but slightly different. An example DigiByte routing number/address looks like: DG1xyajwmb3Jy9UaiBWr7Ni4VFWbzszeyV
3) Store & Save DigiBytes: You can store DigiBytes on your computer, your mobile phone, in an online wallet on a website or even on a piece of paper. Once you acquire DigiBytes they are 100% yours and you completely control them. There is no need for a third party.
Why should I use DigiByte?
1) Speed: When sending or receiving DigiBytes you receive a notice that the transaction as occurred on both ends within a second or two. Within roughly 6 minutes after receiving DigiBytes you are able to turn around and spend the DigiBytes elsewhere. No more waiting days for a direct deposit, or ACH transfer.
2) Fees: Most DigiByte to DigiByte transactions are free. With a few larger transactions incurring a very small limited network fee distributed to miners, less than a fraction of a percent.
3)Scarcity: Only 21 Billion DigiBytes will ever be generation. Over time DigiBytes will become more scare and will slowly increase in value.
4) Decentralization: No one controls the DigiByte network. It is spread amongst & shared by thousands of people across the planet who donate their computing power to process transactions. In exchange for this they receive a share of new DigiBytes as they are created.
5) Ownership: Once you obtain DigiBytes they are completely yours. There is no third party involved. You can store your DigiBytes any where you want to.
6) Limits: There are no limits on how much you can send and receive besides that natural limitations & current state of the market.
Disclaimer: DigiByte is still a very young & upcoming technology. DigiByte market prices fluctuate daily and until further adoption occurs it can make dramatic price swings upward or downward within hours. Day trading & investing in crypto currency technology such as DigiByte & others is a very new and risky venture. Make sure to take the time to educate your self on this new technology and the risks it poses.
We will also make links on "exchange" and "mining" that describe what it is on another page. Or maybe a tool tip pop up.
