I did it, I transferred from my computer to the dropbox and then the dropbox to another computer, and it created a new address and my balance is 0

The folder that you need to copy your wallet .dat file is at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\DigiByte

Once you place it there and close and reopen the wallet your should see your balance.

How do you create addresses without a wallet. It there an online tool like for bitcoin that works for digibyte?  Or does digibyte use the same hash methods as bitcoin or litecoin?
DigiByte uses the Scrypt algorithm instead of SHA-256.

I believe Scrypt is used for Proof of Work but I'm pretty sure the addresses are still created using sha-256.  They do also start with a 'd'.  

Something like https://github.com/litecoin-project/liteaddress.org shouldnt be that hard to modify. Something in javascript is likely the ideal solution because a hosted service would let the hoster see the private key. In javascript its all done locally.


Very interesting. The DigiByte addresses start with a "D" represented by a Base58 check encoding. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding

Yes, sorry, your absolutely correct. I was was not case sensitive there, which matters.

In the source its defined at https://github.com/digibyte/DigiByteProject/blob/master/src/base58.h#L281

My position in the organization is far more important to me than this project.

Sooooo...   what your saying then..  Is that if said organisation which by your own admission is currently monitoring   links you to this coin  you will stop the coding and dissociate yourself from the coin?

That does not give me a lot of faith.

Such is life.

If this organization is so important to you  why would you even put yourself in a position where you could possible be reprimanded? and then even worse continue on with it when you think your being monitored?

People are investing in your ability to finish the code required for this coin. You can not truly say that you will be able to continue coding tomorrow until tomorrow is here.

Until the code is fully wrote its a huge gamble.

They posted an updated in their ANN thread

CoinMarket.io status update:

We are working around the clock on this.
We do realize that this exchange has major potential to be the next big thing, so we are serious.

We are not going anywhere to buy that island Wink will re-open as soon as he have identified and fixed the problem.

A security audit is ongoing, but you have to understand that this takes time, we use local people from Europe and real life meetings.
This means that another 24-48 hours of downtime is not unrealistic.
We will be using this time to do multiple other things too, like moving the thing to a datacentre.

When we first open, markets will be paused and only wallets will work.

Opening the exchange's frontend right now, thus exposing a potentially insecure system to the public is not an option.
This is why we ask you to not panic.
People with large balances (and thus extra paranoid) can send withdraw requests via PM, they will be processed.

We will try to keep this thread posted on the updates as often as possible.

Edit: starting to manually process PM withdrawal requests as we speak.
Dont flood us with meaningless requests of ridicilously low amounts, for everybody's sake.
We need our time to work on restoring the service, so it can become the next BTC-e Smiley

I've seen that you forked Bitcoin Wallet in order to adapt it to DigiByte. It's great and I like that.

However, can you make sure publish the source to the Android app? Currently its not linked from anywhere.

The link should be in the app somewhere, Ill double check the correct link was added.    

https://github.com/digibyte/DigiByteAndroid

Thanks for making it possible!

Thanks! Can you make this link part of your app description on Google Play and on your web page? The point is in order to use the source, you shouldn't be forced to install a binary.

I totally agree.

I will make sure its updated next time I talk to the dev with the access to the marketplace and website.

I've used it before, and missed that feature... I guess I should pay more attention to things  Wink

Not surprising you missed it where it isn't functioning. I've tested it so I have a little advantage Smiley   Its also much more obvious in tablet mode which is where I do my physical testing other then in emulators.

This might be going out of the "light" side of things, but it would be pretty cool to have a fullscreen merchant mode, where the client would take up the entirety of a monitor facing the customer and have some relevant information on it (Price of the purchase in DGB and USD/EUR/Whatever, Maybe the items being bought...) with a QR code for sending payments.
+1

I like that idea a lot, a full screen mode for merchants makes a lot of sense.

DGB->USD

Thought I was replying but was actually editing a previous message so in case you missed what I was saying.  

The android wallet actually already includes that feature. It could use improvement as it is currently tied to btc-e and cryptys for the required data but once we are on cryptys a small update with our market id will turn it on and give you your balance in USD among other fiat's.  Adding in more source options for BTC->FIAT would also be good. I personally would prefer the info from cavirtex where I'm Canadian.

This is lower on the priority list though but will eventually be looked at again and improved as we get more reliable sources of data.  
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 25, 2014, 02:38:57 AM
What news sources are going to be available, and will we be able to add RSS feeds to it ourselves?

We had talked about providing an rss feed from DigiBytes website but I can make it so you can add your own source as well.


Maybe not the Android wallet, as it is targeted more towards the average user.  However, a wallet with a built in USD(USD<-BTC) <-> DGB ticker would be priceless for those out and about trying to spread the word on the street and exchanging fiat for DGB.  Just an idea Smiley

This is technically already available in the android wallet. Its currently tied into the cryptys API which is why it doesn't function right now. It could use improvement mainly not being tied directly to cryptys but until were on larger exchanges or our own exchange goes live there is no good source information.
 
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 25, 2014, 02:24:07 AM
Import / export private key would be nice.
And maybe the intent com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN could be used to scan barcodes.

Both good ideas. I'm still learning the ins and outs of git, we still used cvs at my previous job but I will make sure to add in these feature requests to look into once I figure git out.

If anyone else has any features they would like to see just pm me or post in the thread and I will do what I can to make any good ideas happen. The current list of improvements I have are

QR code printing to cloud print
news section
bluetooth/nfc
option to require a password/pattern to launch the app
Import / export private key
and look into barcode scanning  

The QR printing and news section are my current focus and should be added by the early next week.

Thanks for your response,
that makes sense my mind is now at ease..... installing  Cheesy

I have been doing a lot of reading on android security recently I suppose its made me a tad edgy!

No problem at all. I'm glad I could ease your concerns. Make sure to read the safety information when you load up the wallet. Nothing can make you 100% secure but following its suggestions will greatly lower your risk.

What exactly is bluetooth transactions? Is there anything special about it?

Quote
It would probably be the transfer of funds from two phones through a bluetooth connection, making it easier to send funds to another person who has a bluetooth compatible mobile device with a DGB wallet on it. I haven't tried it out yet though, and am curious as to whether this applies to phone->desktop connections as well as phone->phone connections.
I would guess that it doesn't, but it's a pretty cool idea. I personally haven't really used bluetooth for much however, so I can't vouch for how well it would work.

That pretty much sums it up. It decouples your requirement on an internet connection. Bluetooth transactions have not been thoroughly investigated yet but are high on my list of improvements along with NFC. I plan on providing more details in the coming weeks along with material explaining usage.

As it stands they are currently only mobile->mobile as the wallet itself needs to support the bluetooth transactions. I'm not sure if adding it into the current qt wallet would be the way to go but a light client has been discussed and would be a better place to put the feature IMO
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 25, 2014, 12:03:24 AM

have you seen the permissions that wallet wants?

camera
usb storage
bluetooth
full network access
+ more

can anyone explain why a wallet needs all this access?

The Camera for the QR code scanning.  Usb storage to store the wallet data and block data (not the full block chain).  Bluetooth for transactions over bluetooth. Full network access for lots of things. Like the block chain headers,transactions, exchange information (when it is updated) etc.

If your suspicious, which would be perfectly understandable being a security conscious person myself, feel free to go through the source and compile the apk from that. It is available on github, although I still need to update the build instructions.

Okay. In my DIGI wallet i pressed "file" then backup wallet, and saved it on my dropbox. Is that okay?

If you are going to backup to a site like dropbox make sure you encrypt you wallet with a strong password.  "Settings"->"Encrypt Wallet..." In the windows wallet.

I'm personally paranoid about storing important information on internet services and store my backups on USB thumbdrives .

I would also not rely on it as being the only place you back up to. While very unlikely if dropbox were to shutdown or have technical problems that caused them to lose your data you can assume based on murphys law it will be the same day lightning strikes your house and destroys your computer.

What do i do if my computer crashes when i have my DIGI on my windows wallet?

Assuming your not talking about a harddrive failure all you have to do is restart the windows wallet. It will pick up where it was last at.

According to the stats on luckyminers pool, we have 75% of the hashrate right now.... but they only received 33% of the blocks last hour.  

I was getting ready to move pools, but this seems absurdly low if they actually have that percentage of the network hashrate.

What are other pools showing as the total hashrate of the network right now?

It is floating around 650 or so.

Well, supposedly luckyminers pool has 550 of it. 

And right now we are the entire network?.... Im confused.

This was taken from the litecoinpool.org's explanation and explains it more clearly then I would.

Quote
The total pool speed exceeds the network hash rate! Is some pool lying?
Not necessarily. The network hash rate is estimated using a 5-hour average, while pools can estimate their speeds based on just the past few minutes. (Pools can do that because shares are solved much more frequently than blocks.) Since the two estimates are not based on the same time period, it may well happen that the sum of the hashrates of the pools exceeds the estimated network speed. Usually when this happens the network is growing.

Well, luckyminers just solved 10 of the last 12 blocks... so it's likely not too far off. 


No, it is not far off. I checked a few of the other pools and there is a total of 130MH/s give or take a few.  I've switched my miner away albeit I only was adding 600kh/s to the mix.

Let spread out the hash rate guys!

What time will the Android Wallet Complete? Grin

I sent DigiByte the final apk a few hours ago. He will add it to the play store when he gets a chance, he has had a busy last couple of days. I would expect sometime on Sunday  but don't quote me on that.
