Price is going to zero... and it's no surprise. We are waiting and waiting for digispeed and we still know nothing about release date.

I checked digispeed sources on github, there is really no innovative technology here. Just simple change of block time and size. And first important commit is from Oct 20.

You are talking about digispeed for so long time, but it's still not here and it's really not that hard job. What have you been doing all the time?
I'm starting to think that you are making hype and delaying it intentionally to manipulate the price.

If I'm wrong, then why it's taking so long? Yes, I'm pissed off, because I bought much higher and I am afraid I'll never see price that high anymore. You hyped digispeed like it's some revolutionary thing and it's not, it's even not released yet. Still holding, but I'm not so optimistic anymore.

Very good to see that DGB is the only serious coin holding so strong @ Polo.

We are indeed evaluating some issues that will arise far into the future and we are already working to mitigate them. We are not going to give a hard launch date as it fuels pump and dumps. When we are 100% ready we will release.

We just completed a successful 12,000 Block test run with DigiSpeed modifications (8mb blocks, 15 second transactions, difficulty calculation modifications, transaction propagation changes.)

The test resulted in even distribution between the five algos and our actual test data showed and average block time of 14.68 seconds (slightly speedier than planned).

Average transaction size: 250 bytes
Maximum block size: 8mb (8,388,608bytes)
Average block-time: 14.68
 
Maximum BTC TPS = 7 transactions per second.
BTC block size = 1mb

7 x 8mb blocks =  56 TPS

BTC Block Time= 10 min
DGB block time= 14.68 sec

600 min / 14.68 sec = 40.87 multiplier

56 TPS x 40.87 = 2,228 DigiByte Transactions per second

Visa averages 2,000 TPS

Following the DigiSpeed v4.0 release we will release a version v5.0 in mid 2016 with enhanced block pruning, headers first sync and additional "incentives" for people like gamers to run a "full node" and keep the network decentralized as blockchain size increases

Maybe I just actually care about the multi-PoW concept, and want to see it succeed. I don't believe Digibyte has long term potential as a serious currency, because it is premined and instamined. To me there's no other choice than Myriad at the time of this post.

Dear Mr. Pump,

First, I would like to compliment you on your choice of screen name.  It is tremendous that you have the confidence to use a screen name that sounds like a sex toy for lonely, single teenage boys.

I am writing to inform you that "bagholding" is not an acceptable English verb.  There is an English idiom "left holding the bag." The idiom refers to a situation where a person is in current circumstance where they have an unwanted responsibility.  Your use of the term "bagholding" is inappropriate because, first it makes an unclear verb from a noun within an idiom, and second because it relies on an interpretation of "holding the bag" where the unwanted responsibility is to pay the debts of someone who took advantage of us.  Your use of the word "bagholding" derives from the idiom; but is an inappropriate translation of the idiom.  For those of use who study language - the term we use when a person makes a verb from a noun is verbification.  It is a frequent phenomenon.  For instance a person might use the verb "moisturize" because they don't know the verb "moisten."  You do the same with the word "bagholding."   Poor education and lack of diverse vocabulary results in the fact that people often make verbs from nouns.  Nonetheless, it is a bad habit and should be avoided in clear writing; the solution is to learn more verbs.  Your use of verbification with the word "bagholding" is doubly annoying because it relies on a bad translation of the original idiom.  

I'm not upset that you inappropriately use the word "bagholding" as a verb.  it is obvious that English is not your first language; and many people struggle with Google translate.

However, I would suggest revising your post.  You begin with the phrase about how you have "posted clearly."   You should revise - or preferably delete - that phrase.  You have not posted clearly.  The post is unclear because the grammar is unclear.

The economic term you are looking for is a Latin phrase.  Ex post regret.  Ex post regret is often used in relation to game theory, heuristics, and trading.  The phrase describes the circumstance when a trader regrets their decision(s) to buy, or sell, or hold "after the fact" - or "ex post."

If you will indulge me, I would like to take a bit of a digression here to clarify my criticism of your language.  I honestly don't care much about the grammar of posts, and I certainly don't judge people badely because of it.  I think the DGB community is strong because it is an international community - and I would never want someone to feel like they should not post because they don't have good grammar.  You are an exception because I am not criticizing you for your grammar.  I am analyzing your grammar and criticizing you for your intentions.

I do not give investment advice.  I approach DGB from the perspective of a value investor.  And, value investors stand in opposition to market manipulators.  Your efforts to pump coins falls in line with market manipulation.  So, I suppose that my approach stands against yours.  That being said, I do not worry about price (indicated as the current market value).  I didn't buy or sell during the current price volatility.  Instead, I look only at intrinsic value and work to understand the intrinsic values of DGB.  From my perspective, DGB has strong intrinsic value and competitive advantage.  I work to support an increase the intrinsic value of DGB through the community.

I will never post about price predictions.  When I post about the value of DGB, I'm referring to the underlying intrinsic value of the services, commodity, and DGB as an investment asset.  Clearly DGB (like many digital currencies) is not marked to market.

When people come into this forum spreading absurd positive price projections or writing posts that contain positive exclamations about the current market price; I assume they are interested in selling.  It is a common strategy of market manipulators.  They post unfounded positive price predictions; and, people who don't know better buy their positions.  Typically, the strategy is combined with slightly increased buy pressure and followed with significant sales that allow the seller to average down and make a profit.  For instance, there have been a couple of people in the discussion recently who consistently make unfounded assertions about the positive price movement.  I assume these people are trying to bluff their way out of established positions (in other words, they are sellers working to get the best price).

Market manipulators (like you) rely on differences between the impact of purchase and impact of sales on market price.  In certain conditions, it takes a smaller amount of buy orders to push the price up than it does sell orders to push the price down.  Or, in other circumstances, and depending on market conditions, opposite.

Therefore, when people come into this discussion and fill it with all sorts of nonsensical negative comments, I assume they are attempting to buy.  They are working to bluff their way into a better price.

Because I approach DGB as a value investor - I don't feel the influence of either strategy.  Market manipulators take advantage of momentum traders (people who buy when prices rise and sell when prices fall).    Information is one of the most valuable assets that a trader can use to their advantage.  If a trader actually has good information about the market price - it is not an advantage to share the information with other traders.  Therefore, anyone who makes assertions about the market price is attempting to influence other traders for their own advantage.

Your circumstance and your posts stand apart.  I've read through your posts and thread.  From the beginning, you establish that you cannot be trusted.  You betray the trust of your existing partnerships for your own benefit.  Then, without a second thought, you ask people to send you seed money for your own pump club.  Your logic is confusing - it essentially says:  "I cheat and betray my existing partners because I want you to trust me so you will send me your money; I manipulate markets and leave other inexperienced traders holding the bag - so join me."  Anyone who thinks through your logic will see the problem.

Now, let's get back to your bad grammar with your made-up word "bagholding."  Who is left holding the bag?  Your term, although a grammar nightmare, is subtly astute.  You give us a choice ... either join your pursuit of greed without consequence, and profit without morality, or - instead - face the prospect of being left holding the bag in the wake of your exploits.  I'll worry about the bag later and continue to look for value.

One of the greatest values of digital currency is that they offer an alternative to the established practices of greed and corruption in our existing financial system.  I believe that many of us got invloved in digital currencies because we believe in a better and more equitable approach to economic exchange.  It's sad to see you corrupting that ideal for personal benefit ...

Ignore button is very useful for people like this, just dont quote him and we wont even know he existed.

Your posts crack me up. You know nothing about how these markets work.

- Also we all know you are desperate for that 50SAT price but in the next couple weeks DGB will sit over 150 SAT again guaranteed.

wise up kid

Ive watched this coin all the way from 10 sat so dont tell me nothing. Anything from here is a win win win.

Everything is down today.

We've hold fast for longer than I expected.

Hence another pump coming soon!
