THERE'S AN UPDATE!? AIRDROP?!?!

*checks google playstore, updates getgems app*
 
AIRDROP IS HERE!

wow...new UI for the "EARN" Tab! Neat!
There's a game in there too...prime dice!

lol...more so for those who haven't bought enough BTC to buy enough DGB.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ....

"placing ads on keyboard across all social platforms"
Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram, WeChat, whatever nation's chat app...

You know what this is called? Market Penetration. 

i suggest giving 100 DGB each time a DigiByter supporter wants to post an insult - buying Rights to Insult. lol...Good opportunity to use DigiByteTip.
Otherwise, reason and debate properly with constructive comments like in a court.
lol...it will never work. but at least i can see some of us here are doing that properly. you know who you are  . awesome.

btw, wheres blazin? didn't see blazin for the past few pages. haha...i thought i would see more of blazin when myriadcoin showed up.  

Reply to benjamoyne's post above mine:
i think you meant "myriadcoin"? MrPump didn't typed those....unless you are calling "myriadcoin" a mr.pump. lol...

lol...and apparently some traders dunno how to see that this whole competition is still a great positive thing for GETGEMS. (price fell to 5000SAT on polo)

So what has GETGEMS gained from all this?
+ out of more than 11,000 registrants from 117 countries and all 50 states, GETGEMS was 1 of the 11 finalists. Were there any other competitors like GETGEMS? no. GETGEMS was the only one of its kind among the 11. In other words, GETGEMS is still the #1 in its own grounds. Who else came this far? No other alts.
+ $250 000!!! its still a big deal. i know of one altcoin that started off with this amount of funding. and its doing pretty darn well, damn well.
+ US-Social Networking - #381 on Oct 24, #348 on Oct 30. (https://www.appannie.com/apps/ios/top/united-states/social-networking/?device=iphone)
+ AirDrop is in beta-testing! So the competition is over, the GETGEMS Team must be HOT on this now. i was thinking that they got their hands full on the competition and testing AirDrop would probably start sometime in Early Nov. But nope. it was already in beta before the competition was over. Goes to show the GETGEMS Team is really full on this.

Can anybody confirm if GETGEMS will still be getting any kind of support from Buffalo besides just the money?

Come on, "intentions" are a difficult thing to prove. we can't prove or tell it isn't, neither can you prove or tell us it is intentionally deceptive language.
since you raised the argument, show us proof Digibyte isn't the 1st coin to fork to multi-algo. show us some other coin that was 1st.

i was gonna say this. but glad you did it.
SOOOOOooooo....there you go folks. enough said.

Referring to short term (1-3 months) price?
When you say "DGB value", are you referring to its price? If yes:
1) it can move into the 150-300 SAT range (because its time to reap & harvest the fruits of development/labour)
2) it can move >300 SAT (because the Digibyte Team always surprise us with its developments)
3) it can move slowly further down to around 50-70 SAT (because of market manipulators and traders. Really. just own up. you guys just want in cheap because of BTC's rising price and you guys want millions of DGB  )
4) will it move below 50 SAT? HA!! expect all of us DIGIBYTERS to vacuum all your coins. i still need more to complete my Investment Portfolio.  

We need to know the situation that Digibyte is in right now (not yesterday or last week) and i got to say, Development is on fire compared to any other time on the Digibyte Timeline. on fire means = a lot is in the works, major developmental upgrades to its core features, nearing beta/launch phase for said features. hence the advice to speed up your research and take decisive actions before end 2015.

Referring to long term price and worth?
Easily above 1000 SAT in the long run (more than 6-12 months). Why? Firstly, its just simple logic from a business or investor's point of view. Look at Facebook - It's always growing. More features, more stuff, new things added, etc. same with Google and Microsoft and every other big names out there. stock prices are always rising because we see the fruits of development. there's always something to be seen, not to be speculated about. Development keeps the price above the floor and helps it to grow. It's just the basics. I will get back to this point soon.

Now........
I have come across MANY altcoins that is purely pump and dump. way too many. there's like more than 700 damn altcoins out there. enough said.
I have come across several altcoins that were popular but died somehow because of poor development and seriously no fruits to be seen after 1-3 years.
I have come across some altcoins that is just about being a really good crypto coin. like its Proof of whatever, Faster than bitcoin, top-notch privacy, super secure, etc. boring.
I have come across some altcoins that focuses on invading a certain Economy and Market - Gaming, Social Network, etc. Can be good if they are freaking good. really.
I have come across a few altcoins that has HUGE ambitions like trying to be a platform of sorts. big deep stuff. Like Ethereum. but also very ex and price has risen a lot and requires a lot more time and energy to see the fruits. plans are promising but also has very high expectations. got to know your stuff well if you want to invest.  

Here is the thing that Digibyte does really really well compared to almost every other altcoins out there: Fruits of Development in BOTH the Virtual/Digital and Physical Space. Very little cryptocoins manage to come this far or even reach this level. Some don't even touch this level because its not part of their RoadMap. But Digibyte has been constantly whacking it time after time. This is easily seen in the year 2015. go research.

i have yet to come across one exactly like Digibyte and there is no other that i can think of. the price is still low with a somewhat low presence globally speaking (im surprised) compared to Dogecoin, ETH, paycoin, DASH, litecoin, etc. That can be a great thing for us investors. Digibyte really focuses on a few stuff that matters the most and how those few stuff can benefit Digibyte the most. I'm not gonna explain or go into details. do your research. it will be well worth your time. i'm not gonna convince you. you convince yourself.

There are altcoins that are so much more funded (>$1million), yet i don't see them developing as fast as Digibyte, as much as Digibyte. But why is it not more funded as it should be? Because Digibyte likes to be discreet. Its kinda like the 21 Inc of altcoins. hence the saying "Digibyte always over-delivers" if you have come across.

When development speaks for itself, speculators silence themselves

Bitcoin's price and getting said Altcoins at said amounts
The more i think about it, i'm getting hit harder. When i started getting into the altcoin scene with all the buying and trading, i felt that it was really easy because buying 1 full BTC is easily affordable as long as it was <$500 and altcoins' prices were low too. And so, with 1 Bitcoin, just 1, i could easily buy 1000s, 100 000s or 1 000 000 of said altcoins after doing lots of research and tracking.

Now here is the thing. If say 1 BTC rises to more than $1000, $3000, $5000...it is also true that its harder to get said altcoins at said amounts, not forgetting that altcoin's have their own price too (even more ex if it goes up together with bitcoin's price).

so using DigiByte as an example:
$250 = 1 BTC. I buy 1 BTC and buy Digibyte at 20 SAT = 5 million DGB
$500 = 1 BTC. I buy 1 BTC and buy Digibyte at 50 SAT = 2 million DGB. BUT if i want 5 million DGB, i will need 2.5 BTC and it will cost me $1250.

See the big diff between $250 and $1250 with only 2 small changes in prices???

Even if i am able to convert FIAT > ALTCOIN directly and not FIAT > BITCOIN > ALTCOIN, it doesn't change the situation much as currently, all altcoins' prices are based on Bitcoin's price measured in Satoshi.

Thinking about the Year 2016
The year 2016 will be very happening and interesting if the world of cryptocurrency doesn't get obstructed, crushed and destroyed by whatever (including by itself). putting all that aside and thinking about 2016, be it start mid or end of 2016, just looking at the projects from said altcoins and various startups, we can expect more than half of them to enter Beta or Launch Phase.

I haven't factor in how bad events can help to boost Bitcoin/Altcoin. For e.g., global market crash. But just thinking from the developers point of view, about how they go about with their projects and scheduled datelines, and what will happen at certain stages like Beta and Launch Phase, also knowing that there are many other cryptocurrency projects that are in the works besides theirs, yea...that's the picture i am getting.

Conclusion
Everyone, be glad you are in this early into the altcoin scene...or rather...the Digibyte Scene. those who just got in, you better speed up your research and act decisively fast.
my advice is - before the end of 2015. You don't wanna get in when projects are done.

For those who were early...i advice doing some kind of "go-through-all-resources-and-notes" kind of thing. like tidy up here and there, what to backup, what to keep track of, change and record passwords, split up huge amounts in addresses into smaller amounts, etc. Just to reorganize and get more prepared. Whatever is obselete and gone or are no longer of any use, may want to just put it one side for future references. store them some where.

CHEERS EVERYONE!

i too think the airdrop should have started in some way. like for the GETGEMZ Beta Testers first. But it shouldn't be *fully* launched without the other aspects/features of the attention economy. let's hope they have actually been doing a lot more work than we all have been expecting them to do. i mean...to come this far as a finalist in such a competition, they must have really done something/s to come this far. i don't think the judges are blind to see that.

anyway, GETGEMZ already got $250 000 in their pockets. Let's celebrate with that Fact first. 
And then, either they have double of that or x4 of that.


here you go:

Can't wait for October 29th!
Exciting 

DGB community must band together to avoid any of us becoming victims of market manipulators. i was once a victim (Jan/Feb 2015 pump&dump) but i became stronger by adapting and learning how things works and how i should work with all these. Either we get crush by the waves or we ride the waves.

fortunately for us, Mr.Pump is kind enough to let us know his/her presence. in the World of Stocks and Shares, its difficult to know who is manipulating the markets, who is pulling the strings, and way too many factors to consider...to take into account...to know what causes the price to rise or fall. So let us not hate or disregard his/her presence too much. we should acknowledge Mr.Pump and welcome with open arms, yet stand firm on our own grounds. It could have easily been another pumper&dumper and not Mr.Pump.

Once Digibyte makes it big, goes mainstream and global, Mr.Pump will only be a small pumper/dumper. We need to prepare ourselves for the real Big Players of the World of Investment...the whales of whales.

Thanks to my fall in Jan/Feb 2015 pump&dump, i rose higher than before.
You got adapted Mr.Pump (and to the other pumpers too)!

Remember Digibyters - Don't be Greedy, Be The Strategy

P.S. Mr.Pump, how about this? Instead of getting people here to join your pump group, why don't YOU join us? Don't sell all your DGB and forsake Digibyte. Pump Digibyte for real this time. Bringing its value (not price) to the skies. we have enough market manipulators in this world

my buy orders are waiting too...down below. just sell it to us. we will be grateful. Digibyte will have a brighter future with us  
Oh and thanks for the pump too. I guess Bitcoin will have a brighter future with us too  

interesting. well spent 15mins of my time.
looks like somebody/s isn't/aren't satisfied...
i fully agree with the speaker on one thing - hopefully we dont have to wait long.

Thanks for the share 24!

No prob. shall refrain from doing this sharing of news or articles in the future.

BUT anybody who has problems with any exchange, as in real problems that are really bad like no response from Support about said problem after an unusual long enough time, unable to withdraw after an unusual long enough time, no report from the exchange about whatever is happening, do sound out and let everyone know with some evidences like screenshots, etc. If not everyone, AT LEAST make sure to let your loved ones know. If you want to be safe, im sure you want your loved ones to be safe as well. do it by word-of-mouth or within a *closed group*, online or offline. I mean, its only natural. if i know friends n family trading on the same exchange as me and they know im trading there too, and then i simply butt out and don't tell them to butt out and later the exchange gets shutdown and they come after me saying "why didn't you tell me!? don't you care!?". yea...you get the drift everyone.

Mt Gox was one real good example of a bad exchange. and it was so bad that it happened even before anybody starts sounding out. i was so close to using Mt Gox back in Jan 2014 when all i had managed to do was create an account. i only came to know about Bitcoins in Last Quarter of 2013. And after some time, after some investigations on Mt Gox, it is said that it was already insolvent in Early 2013. wow...imagine that. i was so close to being GOX! This is real life experience for me. so after that one real bad incident, i had to take precautions and i do keep up with news every single day. i even Google "Cryptsy" and other exchanges everyday just in case some article pops up about it.

The moment somebody sound out something bad or i myself encounter something unusual, i take flight. I have actually been with Cryptsy for a long time (or at least its the exchange that i have been using the longest among all other exchange) and yes, its saddening to keep hearing all these rumors and negativity. but i told myself "okay. that's enough. i mean this isn't the first time with all the rumors and negativity. now, we are having some real problems - withdrawal problems. time to leave". it may not be everybody, but i think its bad enough if there's quite a lot.

Fortunately, i'm glad that Cryptsy has at least come out to tell everyone to remain calm on their blog and people are still getting their withdrawals but only after a few days (if withdrawal amount is huge) and in smaller amounts, from time to time. Had they been quiet about it, that would be a lot more worst as it will be a bad sign.

HOWEVER, if there is good news that Cryptsy has managed to resolve everything, do expect me to share about it  . And yes....do spread far and wide about it. At least i am not like one of those people who only know how to spread real negativity. calling exchange names, telling people what to do like don't deposit/use and spamming words that sound like bullies of Cryptsy (i.e. talking down on Cryptsy, making fun of Cryptsy). And if memory serves me well, its my first time sharing an article about Cryptsy or about an exchange. i usually don't talk bad about exchange. you can go ahead and read my Past Posts on bitcointalk.

Oh and for this article, its from siliconangle. i mean its not a bitcoin/cryptocurrency news media website. its been around since 2008 (if im right). so i thought it might be newsworthy/credible enough to share about it. not like i would share something from CCN, Cointelegraph or any other bitcoin news website, or even Bitcoin Reddit itself. Because those sources can potentially be false claims and bias.

Regardless of the situation in the cryptocurrency/bitcoin/altcoin world, regardless if its self-fulfilling or not, better to be safe than sorry. Reality has both positive and negative. don't just accept positive and deny the negative.

just to comment on this DigiReport thing about how often it should be. So...its either weekly or monthly. But one thing is clear cut and obvious on how it should not be - everyday or more than 1 month.

Basically, keep it to at least once every week or at most once every month. no less than a week, no more than a month. anything in between is fine with me. if its everyday, then we know that the Digibyte Team isn't very busy with their work UNLESS somebody outside of the Team is doing all the reporting. lol...twittering everyday is fine since its really not a lot of work. If its more than a month, this can become worrying and concerning to us investors, supporters, fans (aka digibyters), etc. Gotta keep us updated, in the loop of things.

Its important to have consistency. So try to keep it anywhere between 1-4 weeks. It can be difficult to always have a report, like die die must be once a week or even once a month, since there are times when it can be extremely busy. unforeseen circumstances and stuff. s*** happens. So the Digibyte Team should try to focus within this range of 1-4 weeks. It's just flexible for them.

As for what should the DigiReport be about, i mentioned before, it should always be about DigiByte. Not about other coins or what is happening in the World of Bitcoin. BUT if DigiByte has some relations tied to them, like Digibyte can affect them or vice versa, by all means talk about them. Just make sure to talk about how all of them are related to one another to Digibyte.

Why am i saying about how the DigiReport should be about? Just hoping that some of the basics are covered and to serve as a reminder. Not saying that the DigiReport has been bad. it has been great. so just to say in some sentences: its just simple logic from an investor, supporter, a fan of DigiByte point of view. if i invested some money to buy some stocks from a company, companies has this AGM (Annual General Meeting) to give their report on the company. should the company talk about anything else? no. the focus is on the company, unless there are related stuff, as mentioned above. As a supporter, i want to hear more stuff about what i am supporting. like i support said president. don't tell me about other presidents. but if its about the president's rival, sure. just dont talk about the president's rival's favorite food, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. if i am a fan of DigiByte, i want nothing but Digibyte. this should be clear cut.

Of course, if the DigiByte Team intends for the DigiReport to be some sort of a cryptocurrency news media center channel, then.............okay. lol...

any sneak peaks? like the cover page, the contents, or maybe the Introduction Page?

and price got dump further down on bittrex to 61 SAT. somebody trying to get more DGB at cheap prices!!
let me help with that *puts buy orders and in goes into my own bag*  

oh cool. thanks for the clarification on that.

yea...i just saw Ultracoin saying that it uses a "Digishield Variant".

Digibyte is seriously undervalued regardless of the recent price pump. 1000 sat isn't even enough to justify its true value as of now. that should be the new floor. its potential value is easily >10000 sat once it realizes that potential (not talking about *full* potential yet!).
