IN ADDITION...Tofugear updated their website.
i don't rmb seeing "2016" below.
looks awesome. more Clients than before.

http://www.tofugear.com/?locale=en







Time to research into each of those clients 

The office (tofugear) is situated in Hong Kong. Hong Kong and China are 2 completely different countries. But regardless...they are both Chinese countries. so yes - still easy to make contact and try to work out a way. this has been asked and suggested many times in the year 2015. Why are we not even on 1 Chinese exchange, we do not know exactly why. some say because DGB volume or supply is low vs dogecoin. some say we need to have enough votes to be added. and each exchange have their own reasons.

But i can hardly see why not. Only question is...when. Because there is no way China will be left out if Digibyte is going global. LOL!!! And also, all the big altcoins or well-to-do altcoins are on it. So yea...let us get that right.

Okay...so...i guess Jared is strongly focusing purely on development and partnerships and the whole DigiByte ecosystem. based on the radio talk on dogedradio. Bitebi9 is one chinese exchange that digibyte is on. but...its totally new. just opened its doors this year. they also revamped their UI and everything but looks a lot less functional and UI unfriendly compared to cryptsy. I guess they just wanted to first get away from the whole negativity and bad vibe surrounding Cryptsy. So yea...a redesign of the UI is a must. but its worst to be honest, function and UI wise. But since they just started, i will give them time to settle down. 6 months and we shall see how things have been.

the people behind Bitebi9 are real...if the picture they have shared on their own Twitter account is real.


Well...its for a start. maybe Bitebi9 can help to create awareness among the Chinese folks in China. and when they learn more about DGB and demand DGB on either of those 3 reputable Chinese exchanges, i guess we can see something by Mid 2016? haha...

Enjoy the cheap DGB while you can. i think i have rested enough on Earth. Gotta...go for Moon Training, check my moon suit, refuel my rockets.

i forgot to explain this part:



This aren't needed to be told to us or to anybody. of course they are trusted and featured. The only thing that needs to be told is whether or not its a project done by the community or by DigiByte. And if it is done by the community, just add "(CP)" after the name, which stands for (Community Project). For example "digibytegroup (CP)". But if there is something else and "service, trusted, featured" are just examples for show, then i stand corrected.

However if you are going to let it be, so you are telling me there are going to be projects that aren't trusted? that's........scary. every project should be trusted, no?

[AFTER MORE EXPLORING on dev.digibyte.co] love seeing the DigiByte Directory. everyone should at least see it and play with it once: http://dev.digibyte.co/portfolios. really smooth, swift and fluid animations too when clicking on the categories  . quite a list there  . in time to come, there will be a lot more. also, i now see why and where this "service, trusted, featured" came from. but i still don't think it should be under "Projects". Because it makes perfect sense in the DigiByte Directory. But it doesn't on the homepage under Projects. it gave me the wrong idea. may want to consider removing them (just the text) on the homepage. it also helps to make it look cleaner (less words)

you need to be specific.

if too much graphics are used, they can certainly be not used. simple. remove the gears , remove digiman.
testimonials section can be redesign as i had mentioned earlier already in my previous post since what i had done was just a suggestion.
And then, what are these "proposed changes" that makes it "claustrophobic entrapment"?
And by "current version", meaning digibyte.co or dev.digibyte.co?

Fundamentally speaking, there are 2 things that i will still stand by and i emphasize importance in addressing them for dev.digibyte.co:
(1) using different graphics for headers to separate out sections (Get started with digibyte today, Digibyte Projects) instead of one type of graphic will certainly cause the website to look disorganized
(2) 1 or 2 parts of the structure are weird --> "testimonial" and "more news" feels out of place. needs re-positioning.
-- For "More News", Header is like way off to the top right in a different region (not in the white space) where the contents are.
-- For "Get started..." header on top and contents below it.
-- For "Digibyte Projects", header and contents are side-by-side.

You see how it flows? no proper structure. bad viewing experience. i had to spend time discerning where is where and what is what.
And all of a sudden, a "testimonial" appeared and there's only one. different types of information are everywhere in the middle.
i can only say one thing - untidy.

i only suggest stick to one: Header followed by contents directly below it for all 3. or Header and contents side-by-side for all 3.

Actually the new website (dev.digibyte.co) already has less compared to the old website (digibyte.co). old website has 8-10 layers/rows of information. the new one has only 4-6 layers/rows. all it needs is just some proper structuring/segmentation and the new website will look cleaner naturally. you need to zoom out too and see how the whole web looks like from head to toe. its OBVIOUSLY LESS because there is so much less to scroll up and down on the new website.

color wise, i think its perfect. from head to toe - fonts, borders, headers, template, etc. it vibrates strongly with DigiByte's colors and i believe that's what we want. Whenever i see white+dark blue+blue outside wherever i go, i will be reminded of DigiByte. the dark grey, grey and black fit in nicely to show Top and Bottom and creating sections. blog posts are meant to have their own colors since each post will have their own blog image. so we have to make sure to not take that into account when analyzing the blog's theme colors.

Regardless, awesome job Jared and to the DigiByte Team! Hoping to see the improved version of the new website even if everything i had pointed out are ignored! At least from my point of view and on a serious note, there's definitely improvements in some areas compared to the old one. just that some areas were overlooked, some really simple mistakes were made and some...a few steps were taken backwards. Try to re-use some of the designs from the old website too. like the spinning gears. just got to be creative and it can make a lot of difference. you may refer to the *re-imagine* version of the new website for an example. link below

In addition to the re-imagine version, keeping the animation of the gears from the old website will help to make the website feel "alive". its more of just improving a user's navigating (aka website viewing) experience. So not everything is static. As for the Testimonial Section, just an idea of one way to do it. you have better ways, go for it. Also, to make DigiMan more alive, would be cool to have glowing eyes. just a simple flash animation/GIF will do to make the eyes glow and dim, glow and dim and so on.

At the end of the day, Jared decides. just wanted to point out what is obvious for some things. i am not well-versed in HTML Language or skilled enough to use Dreamweaver. so im afraid this is the best i can do for DigiByte: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268.msg13642448#msg13642448

Alright! Back to TRADING!

Would like to hear about this too - Plans in China. Otherwise, why bother translating to Chinese right? like "极特币" for example.
Here's a tiny little something.

What is Nexon Doing with Currency Exchange
http://news.mmosite.com/content/2016-01-12/what_is_nexon_doing_with_currency_exchange.shtml

Smell that folks? Opportunities are endless!

ETH is needless to say. its rocking the Altcoin World. literally occupying the #1 spot for the time being. going massive everywhere but i think China not yet based on coinmarketcap's data about ETH's list of exchanges where you can buy ETH.

FCT is purely (or mostly) because of one thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDrfE9I8_hs. Most of FCT's volume is on a chinese exchange known as "Yuanbaohui". Traders on the TrollBox at Poloniex very very often make references to that exchange for FCT's price. When the exchange with the biggest volume goes up in price, every other exchange with lesser volume will follow. its only natural.

So as a reminder to everyone - China hasn't gotten involved with DigiByte yet!! And when China does, don't forget the Whale Pumpers&Dumpers are watching too. People who are reading this, buy some now to prepare yourselves. buy 1 bag for daily trading and another bag for selling on a targeted high price. Don't buy later when its on the rise. Do some history chart readings on DGB at Poloniex. You have been advised!

Reminder

one way is to expand out into the Clothing Business/Market/Industry and get more merchants in this area. Since House of Blue Jeans had it for some time already, one could say it has been tried & tested and proven to be successful in a sense that there is positive feedback (there were news about it and media trying to cover about it too in Netherlands a few months ago). I am not sure what is happening there since i am not from there. But i do hope Tofugear or DigiByte have already received requests for their OmniTech and Cryptocurrency (DigiByte) services.

Another way is in the Gaming Industry/Market. DigiByte and Tofugear can try to get in touch with Tencent, who recently just bought full ownership of League of Legends and/or Riot Games Company, and form some kind of partnership. Tencent is a huge company based in China. a 17 years old company with a yearly revenue of CNY 78 Billion and >25000 employees. So if some kind of partnership will to happen, one BIG news. BAM! Also, the year 2016 is looking to be HOT for not just Bitcoin but Altcoins. Altcoins are getting pick left and right. Word is spreading like fire around the world that many big companies are trying to get on the train to get ready. So if any of Tencent's directors have any ideas of trying to get Tencent involved with cryptocurrency and blockchain stuff, DigiByte is one altcoin they can start looking at. i can just picture it:

*In the Meeting Room*
Jared To Tencent: "Look at your customer base (players) - They love DigiByte. Thousands of them are loving it." One of the best sales pitch!

Or get some other games like Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, etc...added so that more players will get into the DGB Gaming Scene.



We dunno anything yet. but hopefully. i second that and i too do think Microsoft + DigiByte sounds like an awesome pair! their names seem to share the same story of how their names came to be.  


Cool! although i don't exactly know anything about dogedarkcoin. oh well...at least its a close relative of dogecoin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIGIBYTE!
happen to see this when i went to DigiByte's Twitter

Fun-fact for why the OP is so GLORIOUSLY furnished:



Look where DigiByte is...





I don't have to spell it out...do i? looks like OZmaster was caught last-posting too 

woo...awesome job! now OP looks great  

eh....firstly, awesome job! secondly, longest OP i have ever seen. thirdly, each time i refresh, some or many images don't get loaded (as in, doesn't appear) for me.



Shouldn't all of these be on the website? because it looks way more awesome if it was.

[EDIT] Okay! found the solution. i used firefox and everything loaded up fine. earlier i was using Chrome. So If any of you run into the same problem, try using another internet browser.

Here's a quick short analysis of DigiByte for the year 2016.  Basically, my expectations. So do not take them as some kind of prophecy:

1) Most of DigiByte's ecosystem are already in place: DigiSpeed, DigiGaming, DigiByteTip, DigiByteMarket, DigiHash EasyMiner, Wallet for all platforms (Windows, Apple, Ubuntu, Web, Android & iOS), partnership with Tofugear (OmniTech + DGB for merchants), etc. It is a hell lot of work if you ask me. Most of them were developed in year 2015 alone. They are definitely not well furnished or finalized but i believed, at least well-tested enough to take the next step: to be finished. So i expect to see improvements in all of these areas before the end of 2016 (hopefully by mid 2016) and i expect to see all links working, things kept up-to-date like the blog (it looks dead. remove it temporarily if need to please), etc.

2) I do not know if there are going to be anything new. But once all those mentioned above have been finalized, we should expect to see marketing and more partnerships/collaborations, merchants, more games besides L.O.L., etc. Things should get a lot more ACTIVE and more news about DigiByte. if there is going to be anything new, well...i guess it will be quite mind-blowing because most of the basic stuff are done as mentioned above. So left the advanced stuff. some kind of exchange? Remember DigiByte intends to go global. So i don't know what else. i shall leave it up to Jared and his Team.
 
3) I don't expect DigiByte to be taking the world by storm anytime soon . if 2016 isn't a good year for DigiByte, then i can only look at what Jared and his DigiByte Team has in store for DigiByte. BUT i do expect to see small signs of globalization - an Active DigiMan flying around making some splashes and a few waves in 2016. not standing here making noise getting busy with the next upgrade. We can't have DigiByte in "Under Development" status for too long or forever. DigiMan needs to learn to take a walk out in the park while in Version 1.0, engage in some activities with people and then while all that is happening, Version 2.0 is in the works. A good example is Ethereum. They are still "Under Development" BUT there are already a lot of Dapps created on Ethereum. Sorry if i sound like i'm trying to promote Ethereum here. But i do think its one coin to really study and take away some lessons to innovate and improve.

4) i expect to see chinese market involve with DGB. Tencent just bought over L.O.L. and they fully own it. Maybe Tencent can take over to sponsor players with DigiByte. i came across some comments saying "OH LORD! Here comes the microtransactions!!" just because of Tencent. So if they are then it would be a good idea to maybe try to get in touch with them. i mean DGB is already being used, to earn from LOL games and to be spend on DigiByteMarket and on that market there's some LOL stuff. So i feel that Tencent should get involved or at least be bothered that DigiByte is trying to do something here with L.O.L. Good opportunity i see here.

Okay. so you are done reading. if you are new and its your first time here: go buy DGB now. Or you are going to be late for the scene. If all goes well with DigiByte's Ecosystem...it will start to expand and we shall see it GLOBALIZED. once that happens, it means you are late to the scene and the ship has already left. the price now is around 30SAT. That's your ENTRY.

Kudos everyone. May the Trades be with you.  

Just look at Poloniex's charts for DGB:
8th Oct 2015 - 13.8 million DGB bought that sent the price from 38 to 222 SAT.
31st dec 2015 - 13.5 million DGB bought that sent the price from 30 to 34 SAT.

Moral of the story - Pump & Dump destroys the price of any and every altcoin...even Bitcoin. the higher the pump, the more space/room created for more coins to be sold within those newly conquered price ranges. More checkpoints for resistance = huge sell walls at those checkpoints. which in turn harms the coin's price growth, making it difficult for it to reach a higher price.

The only few ways to solve this is for Digibyte to go even bigger, attracting more bigger investors (pump like growth) or tons of small investors (gradual price growth) to get us out from this recent pump-and-dump hole AND IN ADDITION create a market ecosystem, a usage flow for DGB to be bought and sold, to be used. without the market ecosystem or usage flow, the next pump and dump will hit DGB's price even bigger and harder. if memory serves me well, this recent pump to 998 SAT is DigiByte's 2nd pump and dump. 1st was around Jan/Feb 2015, which got pumped to 120+ SAT.

So what is the wise thing to do now? Prepare for the next one. DON'T FREAKING MISS THE NEXT ONE. learn your lesson well, just as i did for the 1st DigiByte's price pump and dump. we dunno if history is going to repeat. all we can do is be prepared or help DigiByte in whatever ways you can. For the developers of every altcoin, it is very difficult to take control of the price in the early stages. Because lots of development is needed in order to do that. partnerships, building technology/products, collaborations, etc. not every altcoin is like Ethereum that can start off big and support its price well.

Be patient and study the coin's situation.
