Any chance someone could look into DigiHash?.. Scrypt is completely down, 55 pending blocks  Cry

Will do. Have a few people taking a look at it.

I tried to get some insight in the numbers of coins in circulation and as far as I can retrieve values this is what I came up with.

All in Million



BTC          14.5
LTC          41
DGB         4,635
XRP          31,908
Doge        100,308
Euro         1,041,902 (ECB)
US Dollar  3,919,529
Yen          85,662,000


The above FIAT values are retrieved from the M0 money supply from www.tradingeconomics.com and the cryptos from coinmarketcap.com



Thank you for sharing. We would love getting some ecomic analysis on this. Especially in relation to prevailing and historic economic theories.

Hey Guys,  The block explorer is not working  http://digiexplorer.info/ and neither is the digibyte node map  http://dgbmap.com/


We are working on getting DigiExplorer back online. Stay tuned.

Maybe someone can open up a poll/discussion on http://www.digibyteforum.com/ about the reduction? So Jared doesn't have to count the votes from this topic Wink

I'm going afk for now, so if someone else could open it, would be awesome!



you can also generate two DGB-addresses, one for yes and one for no. everyone gives a vote with a transfer of 1DGB to one of these adresses. Fairness is important... (so all DGB users can join the voting)
This is a great idea. Practical use case for the blockchain.

I wish we had a block explorer that was always up to date and correct.
but the people dream of 100sat or in other words a $1million "Investment"...

by the way, where is the video-statement? I think it was called "early next week"

Still working on editing the video. We had to remake a studio and green screen as the previous one was moved. Stay tuned.

I've got a rough draft . . . that's a little bit different from what I originally mentioned - I wasn't able to develop a list of 10, in fact, I had to drop 2 of my initial 7 and couldn't get beyond 5, and they're the only coins I would currently be involved in.

http://asistec-ti.com/tba/originalemail.htm

Let me know what you think. Please pick it apart and be as critical as you can (with both the e-mail and the related updates and additional materials on the website). Have no mercy. It's in all of our interests!

I'm going to be "out of the office" until the end of the week - so time you've got - and then I hope to begin sending it out either by the weekend or early next week at the latest.


Edit: I've added a new thread on the forum for comments if you think you might end up cluttering here. http://asistec-ti.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=6 Remember that you can send me a PM as well. TIA


Estimated Long Term Appreciation Potential... how long term is this, 10 year, 25 year, 100 year? Looks over optimistic in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I agree with most of the coin choices with Digibyte being the one with the largest potential but 50000 to 1?
Other remark, logo and website look like they ran away from the late 80s early 90s, maybe freshen them up a bit Wink

Nevertheless, appreciate what you're doing, keep up the great work!

As for the Digibyte promotion you guys really need to learn how "to stunt" Remember the Doge nascar car? That's how you get media attention... I've seen DGB team is trying to raise funds to get the word out on cryptocoinnews and coindesk, does this mean the DGB team is actually broke and doesn't even have 200$ to spend anymore?

DGB has it all tech wise to become a leader, what it lacks imho is a sponsor to put this brilliant coin into the spotlight. DGB deserves mainstream attention, lots of it!


DGB team has 250 000 USD so not sure why they ask for donations? I will give donation to author of dgb book.
We have not asked for donations. We simply enorsed a community driven campaign that is being ran out side of our core dev team.

Still working on the video update that will address a lot of these questions and confusion here on the forum

The price of DGB might be going down but the value of the coin is not going down as fast because bitcoin price is going up, those holding bitcoin are benefitting and can get in at lower prices,if bitcoin price goes back over 500 USD a lot of coins will drop down in price but not as much in value. For those saying 1 Sat is the lowest, it's not, a coin trading pairing can then be dropped for LTC and go below 1 sat. This has occurred a lot with very high supply coins that are hopeless. I never expect 1 sat for DGB of course!.

You are right. DigiByte's price may be going down, but once Bitcoin price is stabilized at its high, then those coins dropped including DGB will rise again! So there is no point of selling any DGB. Just be patient, DGB is as safe as Bitcoin Wink

Bitcoin started going up about a month ago when the Chinese stock market started dropping. Watch BTC drop when the market starts rallying.

The "rally" won’t last long. I think we’ll see some real chaos and panic in financial markets come the 4th quarter. Martin Armstrong is one of the foremost renowned cyclic analysts around and his Economic Confidence Model agrees with that timing. http://www.economicconfidencemodels.com/ http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/models/7219-2

The Chinese stock market has only begun to fall with an intermediate term 1st wave down. A huge sell-off it was, and the “bounce” will be strong as a result, but I wouldn’t bank on it getting back to anywhere near recent highs or on it lasting more than a few months. Europe is falling apart (as much as I personally hate to say so) and that’s going to heat up in the autumn as well. US markets are so overvalued that it’s only a matter of time and finding an excuse (which those first two items just mentioned will provide).

If you think QE in all its forms has been unbelievable, hold on to your hats!

And who are the lucky recipients of all that newly created fiat currency going to be? The same people who were on the receiving end of QE until now, of course (certainly not the little guy, like you and me). And what will they do with that money? Continue “reaching for yield”, of course. And what will that include? You tell me, but what with stocks, bonds, and fiat currencies all losing value, I’ll bet that a couple of dollars will find their way into cryptocurrencies. It’s already begun to happen. I’ve pointed it out in several places recently, most notable here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1095434.0 The same has been reflected in recent news: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1100598.0

So, who gets all the free money?

How about these folks for starters:

Short list of the managers who will benefit from the “trickle up” new normal money management creation we will see.

BlackRock
Vanguard Group
State Street Global Advisors
Fidelity Investments  
J.P. Morgan Asset Mgmt.
BNY Mellon  
Capital Group
PIMCO
Deutsche Asset & Wealth
Goldman Sachs Group
Northern Trust Asset Mgmt.
TIAA-CREF
Prudential Financial
Wellington Mgmt.
NISA Investment
Legg Mason
Goldman Sachs Group
Manulife Asset Mgmt.
Geode Capital Mgmt.
Principal Global Investors
Legal & General Investment  

There will be a lot of money being “thrown around”. It’s not like anyone here expects billions to be thrown into cryptos (not in the short term anyway), not by any stretch of the imagination, and much less so in any one particular crypto (excepting BTC perhaps); however, there will certainly be millions, most likely hundreds of millions, short to medium term, destined for cryptocurrencies.

It’s not like anyone is thinking that we’re going to be able to get a direct interest in DGB either. The truth be said, none of these institutions, or their “smaller” brethren (the long list), take direct interest in anything of this sort. They prefer “baskets” of similar profile investments.

The idea is to get DGB included in those cryptocurrency investment “baskets”. My best estimate based on the money flow is that the large investors who have recently come into cryptos have "baskets" that are made up of 20-25 different currencies (and it looks consistent across the board . . . unless it's been limited to just one individual buyer). In my estimation, again based on the money flow, DGB is currently NOT included in any of those baskets. The goal is to change that, and it doesn’t matter that DGB is a long shot (yes, I think we’ve fallen back into undeniable “long shot” status), these institutions like to have a little bit of “long shot” in their portfolio as well. Get DGB included in those large investor baskets, and get it done ASAP, that would be the goal.

What’s more is that things don’t necessarily have to end in institutional investment – someone might make a personal decision based on something discovered in the workplace, for example, which could even extend to other friends and family. The campaign would be aimed at large known pools of money, but would not be exclusive to them alone, and most probably, like everything in life, would extend beyond the original target to destinations previously unimagined. More than anything we’re talking about making contact with the outside world, as it were, and doing so in the most professional and intelligent way we can.

The window of opportunity is narrow (as it is with everything in this business): you snooze, you lose.

On the other hand, as I’ve said before, if you don’t believe in your product to begin with, then you might as well just end this reading with a big “never mind”.

(This should be considered to only be part of a multi-pronged approach to addressing current adverse issues, in conjunction with things like algo substitutions – great to see so many favorable comments regarding that – and new user target marketing, to name but two other key items.)


Ah, what the hell. I’ve decided to find the time and take third party initiative on my own and send out “recommendations” with basic introductory information. Major institutions like to have independent, third party, analysis so anything I might add independently certainly won’t hurt. Including NOBL adds certain credibility as well. Cryptsy will receive free “advertising” also as a by product. Nevertheless, the main goal, that of informing people with the means and the need of a product they previously didn’t know about but will be glad they finally found out about, will be what's really important. Anyone who would like to help with snippets and ideas on what you think would most interest large investors, please feel free to PM me your suggestions.

HR,

You bring up many great points here. And I by all means am for creating an investor pack. Many of the companies you listed above I have read or heard from multiple sources are investing and getting into the digital currency space. I have had direct contact with people on Wall Street who are all trading digital currencies on the side and actively seeking out investment opportunities. I can also tell you we are pursing these opportunities privately as well.

It is very important to be in a position to seize the opportunity when this massive world wide debt bubble finally bursts. We are seeing the cracks around the foundation already starting to show ( Greece, Chinese Market).

The basket principle is definitely sound, and is the most logical option. We still want to take a multi pronged approach. Part of the video update will discuss another marketing avenue that is much more like to open doors than attempting a pure "currency" like approach.

As for the algorithm issue, there are things that need to be worked out and improved. As you mentioned above all signs point to a very turbulent Q4 of this year. Also, historically in the US pretty much every major stock market crash has occurred in the US in the September/ October time frame.

While I am not hoping or looking for this to occur, all signs are pointing to some turbulence in that time period. With that in mind, that time frame has become somewhat of a deadline to bring several of the projects we are working on together. Both on the technological front, but the marketing front. In order to do this several things need to come together before Q4.

Let us know if we can help with any of this. We are also working on a new set of marketing materials that might come in handy.

Cheers

SHA-256 and Scrypt are so huge that a single large farm from there can abuse DGB easily.
Unfortunately this is currently true and is what we must overcome. That is why I questioned faith. You would need to believe that although your asic machine cost more in electricity to run than it mined in value of DigiByte it would one day be worth it. The problem with that is people would just think, that is stupid I can buy more DGB. You might even say if enough people were thinking like that then people would buy it and the price would move up. not enough people are buying it and round and round we go.

Only a single minded community has any real chance here.
and a single minded community is aligned through belief. This belief has to be generated and maintained by the devs. There isnt enough news from devs its one of their failings plain and simple. i like Jared but what does he do week in week out? Based on posts and lack of blog stuff the average person would be led to believe nothing...

Look up wolffire the game overgrowth. The devs are very active and its an indie project. Regular content rich updates, the fans love it. I can get on cryptsy chat and talk to netcoin devs. i even had one offer to make me a custom wallet for a feature i suggested for block splits. I dont need free stuff but i was impressed by their comms and attentiveness.

Need this here. Who's going to build services for DGB if they dont see dev comms and interaction? If this doesnt happen dgb is just another altcoin with low block time for trans and a 21 billion supply.

Without a doubt communication is critical and the past few weeks we have not been as communicative as we could of been. However, this does not mean by any measure we have been sitting ideally by. There is a lot underway for DigiByte right now.

The investment DGB has received has been used to maintain several aspects of the network as well as to develop privately held services built on the DGB network such as DigiByteTip (I can say there are other services under development as well right now). We are not going to disclose some of these projects, partnerships or advancements until they are ready. This is for multiple reasons.

First, we don't want to tip off the competition until the services are ready to take to market. Second, we don't want to fuel rampent speculation and pump and dumps. Finally, when you take on a private investment, it does come with a few a catches. But when such investment comes with the experience of individuals who are much more business savvy and have a proven track record of business success over the past few decades it is hard not to listen to the advice given. There also are legal ramifications for me publicly discussing some of these projects or discussing some of the meetings I have been in. I have personally signed multiple NDA's with multiple companies and obviously do not want to be held legally responsible for breaching these agreements.

To summarize, DigiByte is open source and will always be decentralized and open as a network. Anyone can build a privately held service upon top of DigiByte. This has already been done numerous times. Cryptsy, GiftOff, ShapeShift and many more have integrated DigiByte. Have any of them open sourced their code bases? No, why you ask? There would be a dozen copy cats that popped up over night. This is the reason we have not, nor will we open source DigiByteTip any time soon. This does not mean it wont happen at some point in the future. Mind you there have also been significant legal costs no one is aware of just to get DigiByteTip to where it is now. (Part of the reason for not actively marketing it yet.)

Without a doubt for me personally this is all a tough balancing act. On one side there is the open source network and all the other public services to go with it (all the wallets, DigiHash, website, explorer and more) and the the community at large who make all of it possible.

On the other side there is a private investment and a business to move forward. Obviously everyone here I consider to be an investor as well and I personally owe it to both sides to reach the best possible outcome so everyone comes out a head in the end and wins. And I believe this will happen and we are well on the way to making that a reality.

So far we have done a lot with the limited budget we have had compared to other companies in this space. Look at the investment ChangeTip has received as well as the $500,000 DogeTipBot has. Thats just one service. We are building multiple platforms and maintaining multiple services (6 node servers each month, digiexplorer, digihash, digibyte.co, digibytegaming, easyminer, ios wallet, android wallet, digibyte gaming wallet, all core wallets, a fully functional exchange we haven't launched to do crazy laws in the US, as well as a few other services we haven't released yet. I don't know anyone else in the crypto space to have provided all these aspects of a coins ecosystem from one source.

All in all things are moving forward and I am very excited for the future of DigiByte. This technology is here to stay and we are doing our best to position DigiByte the best we can to seize the opportunity when the time comes.

Thanks to everyone for your support, feedback and continued passion. There are some great conversations on here and now i'm going to go get to work on that video update.

Cheers,

Jared

Digihash has stopped paying again, and Scrypt seems to be completely offline from a stats perspective even though I'm throwing over 100Mh at the pool.... Currently 110 pending blocks for Scrypt alone. I want to help DGB by using Digihash but it's hard not to mine on other pools or even solo as I have to with my larger rigs when the service is so flaky.

Please devs, this happens constantly with Digihash, my vote is to devote time to improving basic services such as this in the immediate term.... We can all panic about impending doom from the attack of evil ASIC's later on IMO....  Many thanks in advance!
I think it is imperative to start here, especially as we need to attract a lot of small hashers and this is the best place to have them, for the community at large.
The impending doom does need to take a back step and this is a good place to start. The evil asic attack, imo, started a long time ago but it is slowly sucking the blood out of us like a parasite. It is time we got frontlined! Smiley

We are going to reset the pool. The issue we are having is DigiHash is built upon the open source NOMP repo: https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal. We had to customize a few things in order to get it to run with all five algorithms. As you can see from the repo NOMP has not been maintained for a year now and we have not had the resources to focus a lot of time on continuing development on it. DigiHash was built to be fill a need. DGB has had mining pools come and go dozens of times over the last year. We wanted to give the community a pool that wasn't going to go anywhere.

We have also been experimenting with the pool by changing the payout threshold to fix a few other issues people are having. Part of the problem with some wallet issues people were experiencing was the bloat of the UTXO database.  When the pool starts paying out 1 or 2 DGB at a time thousands of times over to a mobile wallet (lots of people seem to do that) the mobile wallet tends to freeze and cause some issues.

If anyone would like to take a crack at the pool please let us know. The code is in our github repo.

@o0o0 Thank you very much for expressing your honest concerns. And thank you for your suggestions.

We have been planning to start making weekly video blog updates for awhile now so starting early next week everyone can expect the first video update. I will give a general introduction and welcome to beginers and then an overview of the vision of where DigiByte is headed and how best to explain DigiByte to others. As well as a current state of affairs.

I also would like to take the time to answer as many questions as possible. So if you have a question, both technical or business related please post it here so I can review them and include them in the video update.

There is a lot happening in the world right now. Between Greece, the Chinese stock market and a complete overload of debt worldwide there is a huge opportunity for DigiByte right now.

Thanks again to everyone for your honesty, support and passion for this amazing technology.

Cheers,

Jared
435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★ 极特币★★ [DGB] ✈ ✔ v3.0.2.1 officially released! on: July 10, 2015, 08:26:28 AM
Currently, an attacker can 51% attack the network with roughly 60% of SHA256D and nothing else. After this change, an attacker with 90% of the SHA256D hashrate and 33% of each of the other 4 algorithms would have insufficient hashpower to mount a 51% attack. Is this true? Source: https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/pull/36 So in theory a attacker does not need to have some hashrate in all 5 algorithms (used in marketing of digibyte)? 60% of SHA256D is sufficient?

That's my pull request, here is an up-to-date calculation.

Based on current difficulties (averaged over 1000 blocks), this is each algorithms contribution to the work calculation:
sha256d: 1.13e+06 * 1
scrypt: 23.7 * 4096
groestl: 152 * 512
skein: 1070 * 24
qubit: 47.6 * 1024
This adds up to 1.38e6.  Half the total can be made with just 61% of the sha256d contribution.  Asics are to blame.  When the formula was crafted, each algorithm did indeed have a near-equal contribution.  But as the sha256d hashrate climbed the others couldn't keep up.  It was always true that an attacker could attack the coin with just 1 algorithm but they would have needed at least 87% if all algorithms were weighted properly.  The new formula does not rely on magic work factors, and does not allow one algorithm to dominate under any circumstances.

I'm not going to throw stones at marketing.  As far as I can tell they didn't know it was wrong.  Now we know, but already have a fix to make it even stronger than the original claims.
+1
MentalCollatz would be the proper authority to answer this.  And yes, at the time of our first hard fork to multi algo we did not know this formula was incorrect. We are always working to improve things. We have worked in his changes to the upcoming DigiSpeed hardfork that will make things much better.

Also @Mental, we would love to chat some time and run some ideas by you we have for modifying OP_RETURN. Thanks for stopping by and answering this!

I need help ASAP, i just sent some DGB from my active wallet to my offline wallet.
It has more than 100 confirmations but when i check it on the blockchain it still hasn't arrived yet?
it says unconfirmed txs balance? But it has already been confirmed right?
What can i do now?


Have you restarted your wallet with -rescan? Also which OS and wallet are you using?

Simply unbelievable...

Like I told everyone here months ago: Run, don't walk, from this thing...

But since you just choose not to, have what you so fully deserve. In spades.

Go away troll! Jared is one of the best dev in the world!
Jared, if you have time could you please address all my questions? Looking forward to it.
I am with Digibyte because of you so i think it is fair that i want a answer from you because i believe you.

Since when is Jared the developer of DGB? He is the owner, not the developer. He never said once he was the developer of DGB.
Please note that no one owns DigiByte. There are several developers who have contributed to the core DigiByte code base. There are many other fantastic DigiByte supporters who have contributed to DigiByte in many different ways.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And we encourage everyone to research things for themselves. We are here, we are moving forward and we will continue working hard every day. In the mean time we are not going to get weighted down on this forum with rubbish while we can be working on important things to move DigiByte forward. Its a much better use of our time.

Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting DigiByte.


Don't mind the troll Jared! You are a great dev and doing a great job!
Jared, some questions if you do not mind:

1 Could you please comment on these additional protections (explicit comments and no talking around it)? If they are true, we should do marketing with it. If they are not be transparant and just say there are none.
2 Can you tell me if we were a scrypt coin (litecoin clone) and then you asked 8bitcoder (dev of myriadcoin) to change digibyte to myriadcoin clone (multi-pow) for you? Or did you do it yourself? There are rumours that you "helped" but the actual work has been done by 8bitcoder.
3 Currently, an attacker can 51% attack the network with roughly 60% of SHA256D and nothing else. After this change, an attacker with 90% of the SHA256D hashrate and 33% of each of the other 4 algorithms would have insufficient hashpower to mount a 51% attack. Is this true? Source: https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/pull/36

Would love to answer these questions.

1) Could you be more specific as to which protections you are mentioning? I am assuming you mean multi-algo related specifics? Also including DigiShield (difficulty retargeting, asymetrical adjustments).

2) Originally we modified Litecoins code and then later on came up with DigiShield which was later implemented into Dogecoin and several other coins. 8bit did not do the code transition for DigiByte.  However the Myriadcoin code base was very helpful to us when making the multialgo transition as a reference. Most development work for DGB has been done by myself with heavy lifting by xploited. We were the first coin to fork from a single algo to multiple algos. This caused some unique difficulties. Myriad was launched multi algo. We however have spoken with 8bit on occasion and shared ideas, especially right after their time warp attack.  I do recall reaching out with a few questions to him as well over time. He is a very talented developer and the brains behind the original multialgo. There have also been several other people who have contributed helpful code to DGB. All of this is visible in the commit history for DigiByte.

3) In theory yes this is correct. However until its in the wild we will never know for sure.

Esotercizm is a great dev who has contributed much to DigiByte. We are glad to have him here.

Any other questions we can answer for people?

Simply unbelievable...

Like I told everyone here months ago: Run, don't walk, from this thing...

But since you just choose not to, have what you so fully deserve. In spades.

Go away troll! Jared is one of the best dev in the world!
Jared, if you have time could you please address all my questions? Looking forward to it.
I am with Digibyte because of you so i think it is fair that i want a answer from you because i believe you.

Since when is Jared the developer of DGB? He is the owner, not the developer. He never said once he was the developer of DGB.
Please note that no one owns DigiByte. There are several developers who have contributed to the core DigiByte code base. There are many other fantastic DigiByte supporters who have contributed to DigiByte in many different ways.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And we encourage everyone to research things for themselves. We are here, we are moving forward and we will continue working hard every day. In the mean time we are not going to get weighted down on this forum with rubbish while we can be working on important things to move DigiByte forward. Its a much better use of our time.

Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting DigiByte.

Anyways back to topic. I do believe the commercial adoption and marketing of the coin is very important and something lacking. I am sure Jared has a plan and do believe the investment of 250K is real and valid. No doubt there. I was speaking about this to a colleague of mine. If you have the best burger in town and believe it can take significant market share, but nobody knows about it, how will you accomplish that? You won't. There are many great products and services out there that die due to high burn rate and not enough customer adoption.

The flip side of the coin is McDonalds. It clearly doesn't have the most healthiest and best burger, but people keep buying! WHY? Convenience, ease, location, marketing!

Need to apply this to DGB and make a stand. Too many global events going on to really push DGB to the forefront. Just need to think how can we do that with mainstream versus the smaller digital currency community.

Just my two cents.

i fully agree. Digibyte needs to be marketed out. First Step.
And then, its all down to ease of use, convenience and location (accessibility and places to spend it).

The Digibyte Team is tackling all of that right now. DigiSpeed, Marketing, DigibyteGaming Wallet, etc. If you ask me, they could use some additional manpower considering the amount of work they need to do. Otherwise, we can only give them time and try our best to be patient and do our part as a DGB community. If Jared can't keep us updated every week or 2, i hope he can at least keep in touch with those well known members of DGB. like haliyno and 24hralttrade. they can spend time reading and commenting on the forum while Jared can cater all his time to the development and work for Digibyte.

lots of work to be done since Digibyte is aiming for the number one spot. Most of the core aspects of Digibyte were in the works last year and its still being work on to further improve it to keep up with the competition BUT mainly to be ready for global use. most of the new stuff we see this year were probably started on around the beginning of this year.

We can do our part as a community. And that is to create a lot of good noise for DGB. a lot of demand from other services to adopt DGB. so when DGB is ready to be fully launched, there's going to be a lot of services that we can use DGB for. Over the past 2 months (May and June), i have witnessed that several services have begun to adopt DGB thanks to the community itself. And it is still not enough.

Whether its Twitter, Facebook or any other social media, spread the word and keep hashtagging. keep the DGB Activity alive. the more it appears, the better. if you need to hashtag some weird tags, go ahead. people will be thinking "what is this 'Digibyte' thing doing here!?". Chances are, they are going to check it out. Even if they don't, we have at least succeeded in making them KNOW about something called Digibyte. After that, all it takes is just one more incident of DGB appearing in their lives like maybe one of their friends suddenly talks about Digibyte and BAM! It will stir their curiosity the hell out until they find out more about Digibyte.

we all know Jared is heading in the right direction. its just gonna be a slightly longer journey than some of us had expected.
Keep riding DGB folks.

Thank you everyone for your support and kind words! We are here and we are working hard on several things. As stated numerous times over the last 1.5 + years we are in this for the long haul. Right now we can use all the help we can get to keep pushing things forward on all fronts.

All of us know the # one thing we are lacking right now is marketing. In order to help us push forward on this we would like all of you to help us formulate a list of DigiTweets we can actively start putting out on twitter. These tweets can be scheduled ahead of time and are very effective at bringing in new users and interested parties.

An example of this can be found here: https://twitter.com/DigiByteCoin/status/599492595396444160

In the mean time if anyone would like to prepare videos, images, memes or anything else people might find interesting or have ideas for this please let us know. We are focusing are efforts on developing additional infrastructure and business relationships that will bring utility to DigiByte. Things are coming together and we are very optimistic for the future of DigiByte!

Cheers everyone!
