1) SHA256 - ASIC focused

3) Equihash - Nvidia GPUs

Should read ...
1) SHA256 - ASIC focused
2) Cryptonight - CPU and AMD AND NVIDIA GPUs
3) Equihash - Nvidia GPUs

EDIT: I don't see any influence of ASICS yet.



Most of them will arrive in late november/december. I've noticed a big fluctuation on Skein last week, it reduced the amount I'm used to mine by 30% for a couple of days.

DigiByte is currently 60% ASIC dominated and 40% normal hardware friendly. Although I understand people’s resentment of hardware technology development and the centralizing effect, these are real industries with real growth potential already stimulating this and the fiat economy outside. They help to make DGB more secure because of their efficiency and costs involved necessary to compete with them. The DGB mined by people armed with ASIC miners have real costs associated with their rewards. If all the BTC mining suddenly switched to DGB, they could only bag 20% of the DGB available, same if all the LTC miners switched to mining DGB again another 20%. The fact that we can fend off total ASIC offensive is already a major advantage. At any time in the future we could switch to an algo that you could only mine with a verified DGB ID, purely for distribution purposes at that time perhaps. That’s just an idea, nothing in concrete I know about. Anyway, as long as DGB maintains a comparable ratio of ASIC and non ASIC mining I don’t see any real need for concern now. Possibly removing an algo like Qubit now might even be damaging and weaken overall security of DigiByte?

Aside from Qubit, Myriad-Groestl and Skein are covered by Baikal X10. So, all algos are ASIC dominated right now.
WoW! This is an ASIC practically being sold as a DigiByte miner! That is pretty important and a major driving force for DigiByte progression, I’d guess. I agree it threatens decentralization though so at least one algo will need swapping out very soon!
what do you think sha or scrypt?  Wink

I think DGB doesn't need 5 algos. In my opinion, 3 algos, SHA256, cryptonight and equihash would be perfect for DGB if the goal is equal distribution of mining opportunity. That is:

1) SHA256 - ASIC focused
2) Cryptonight - CPU and AMD GPUs
3) Equihash - Nvidia GPUs

I'm waiting for the roadmap update. For me, the mining algo is the most important that has to be done right now. I'll be selling some of my DGB and change my miners away from it if they don't mention this issue on the news. I believe in DGB but centralized mining will ruin it.

It will fall more if the algorithm change is not addressed until next month

What algorithm are you talking about? please update me, I have no clue.

Just read a the discussion that started a few pages back

DGB is really going down hill. I have lost more than 70% of my total investment so far.

It will fall more if the algorithm change is not addressed until next month

A single Baikal makes $35 a day by selling at the current DGB price. That gives Baikal miners a ROI in about 3 months. Mining completely unbalanced right now, the change needs to happen ASAP.

I ask for some attention of the devs.

Please, change the algo as soon as you can. Your effort is really important for the future of Digibyte. At the moment, DGB is suffering of price supression due to Baikal miners as you can see in the video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aON6WXmdLm8


Through the charts you can see the daily action of these miners selling their massive amount of coins. It will get worse in the next month when Baikal ships hundreds more ASIC miners.

haters and lovers of Bitconnect i still think there is money to be made on this

85 Days to get your money back on the largest loan, a lot less if someone signs up under you, for you will get get 5% on every loan or 3% and then 2% on anyone under them.

less than a month ago we all watched the Bitconnect team splash out Millions on cars and gifts plus doing the event. And there own card comes live on the 1st December

If they thought it was close to exploding they would not have done the event.

i can't see the company going under atm, there is just too much money to be made for everyone

And with the new findings about the company now being a PLC well that just helps all the fence sitters to jump over and join in.


You're very naive, they do all of this to mask investigations from the government. Pozi schemes usually find ways to justify its users investiments. For example:

1) Pay people with other people's money = ponzi = investigations and arrest of the people behind it.

2) "Sell" a product to people so they can sell this product to others and thus receive money = masked ponzi = investigations take longer and usually the owners get away with it.


The bitconnect coin, loan, card are simply things to justify the people's investiments. What is really making them money is that the price of the coin is rising and lots of people are getting into this ponzi. Let's say someone put 2k dollars into Bitconnect:

1) They receive close to 100 coins

2) The price of the coin rises by 200% in the following three months

3) The investor receives 2k dollars after three months

4) Bitconnect owners get 2k times 3 minus 2k = 4k dollars


So, when the price of Bitconnect stops rising at this huge ratio, the owners will disappear with everything.

I've already seen some similar ICO, why are you different?

ICOs made on top of ETH = trash code ponzis

DGB need an algo change fast, before Baikal miners make a huge impact in the price. The price will fall very quickly if nothing is done.

I suggest either lyra or skunkhash algos, both are good options.
