Wouldn't this be a great way to not only promote DigiByte without technical and policy limitations, but to also boost the DigiByteTalk forum at the same time?

Woah, the network difficulty on skein is 11249  .... I am pretty sure the network hash rate for that algo just doubled.   More miner are starting to notice DGB?

ps I see someone here seems to have already used cointips with digibytes in the past, is it good?

When people say "the central banks and the gov't won't let crypto succeed," what they probably ought to be saying is "the banks and the gov't will absorb the technology such that independent cryptos will be pushed to the side," not the sort of Gandalf YOU SHALL NOT PASS that the statement sounds like. F'rexample, VISACoin is inevitable - it's really just a matter of time in determining how long it will take them to implement an internal blockchain (or variant thereof). The question for independent cryptos like DGB is not really a matter of how good the tech is (it's open source, VISA can just copypasta), it's what does DGB offer that VISACoin doesn't?

Independence is itself a thing to offer, though consumers will weigh "look this is independent and awesome!" versus "VISA already gets me everything I need, why use this indie coin?" DGB specifically can offer multi-algo mining which, while not likely a permanent solution to the tech arms race, at least grants a good bit of breathing room other coins won't have.

Looking even further ahead, I'd be willing to bet some DGB that the same corporate branding/groupthink/self-expression weirdness that permeates all other aspects of society will come to crypto as well. The difference in quality between an American Eagle shirt and a Banana Republic shirt (pardon my Amerocentricity for a moment) in terms of quality is minimal, but the choice says something about the beliefs and social circles of the wearer. Ditto for the fans of classic rock vs. pop rock vs. indie rock. Even if eUSD or VISACoin become the dominant electronic currency, libertarian hipsters will want to use BTC because Cult Of Satoshi, upcoming 20-somethings will want to use Doge because nostalgia and pineapples or whatever, folks who think mining is fun will be on DGB and/or Myriad because hey my GPU still works, so on and so on.

Tech is good and important, but it's easy to forget that the end user of crypto is people; people on the whole are notoriously illogical, often badly-informed and make decisions individually based on wildly different priorities. Even the "dominant" coin isn't going to be 100% market share. The fact that Hindi is the official language of India doesn't stop the citizens of each state from using their own dialects anyway, nor does the dominance of USD (or CNY as the case may be) prevent Poland from printing and dealing in zloty.  We have to stop thinking in terms of One Coin To Rule Them All. It doesn't work that way. People don't work that way.

digibyte is on CEX.IO

"The Digibyte daemon started to complain about a broken blockchain. We're resyncing it. Balances will come back in a couple of hours."

p.s
Bitcoin comeback right know?

At the time, PayPal also suggested it is only seeking to promote bitcoin, stating that while other cryptocurrencies have been available for some time “only bitcoin has achieved significant scale” in the payments space to date.

Tempted to start mining on this coin and throw me hash rate towards it. Unsure tho at this time as am looking for more newer coins but I do like DigiByte as its been around for longer than some of the new ones that have died off.

Hi people!

Currently I'm testing a pool server, but I don't know what configuration param is needed in digibyte.conf to test this pool on testnet digibyte network . Can someone help me ? 

Thanks in advance!

DigiByte.conf

Code:

rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
debug=1
algo=scrypt
rpcport=14022
port=12024

MultiAlgo Options

Multi-algoyou need one of these settings in your .conf to solo mine whichever algo you choose:
Code:
algo=scrypt
algo=sha256d
algo=groestl
algo=qubit
algo=skein

Talking about mining...

Is anyone mining Digibyte on Qubit algo using win7 and R9 280x ?
I'm having hard times trying to find a good setup.

I can mine Skein np on Miners-pool.eu , but I cannot find a working config for Qubit.

If anyone wouldn't mine sharing some informations about this. It would be great!

I'm wondering about the choice of cards though. From an AC consumption point of view, the GTX 750 ti's are certainly hard to beat: you wouldn't have the upfront extra cooler system costs, a smaller PSU would work, and your electicity costs would be about 1/3 the 7950 (and, they'd be new with a warranty).

Most ordinary people want a computer:

1) they can do other practical things with, i.e., e-mail, scheduling, photo/movie editing, etc.
2) they can also have fun with, i.e., play a game, watch a movie, do video conferencing, etc.
3) that looks like a normal computer
4) for the best value for the money available

That kind of limits the 'high end' design to a two card system, but that would still be a killer way to get started and start acquiring all the necessary skills to advance to more complicated rigs if so desired.

How about we design a couple of options for folks who want all the above options (not all at once, of course ) while mining DGB at the same time?

DGB disabled again on Bittrex. Blockchain issues every weekend?
