Does anyone know of any other coin that has up to date real time node availability data?

So you wanted to start a discussion, but it is always hard if it's not about some hyped coin. That's why I decided to share my opinion.
I like DigiByte (though I never mined/traded it), because to me it seems like one of the good coins out there (and I will always support them in some way), but your bigger problem is supply.
Coins with billions in supply are dying imho. I'm not a coder, but I know that forking it could cause really big issues (giving the network you have) so I think you currently are not in very good position.

P.S. Most of the coins don't have different approach other to be cryptocurrency (fancy wallets, features etc..). If you make something really unique, maybe you can succeed.
 
That's my honest opinion.

Cheers,

DigiByte is aiming to be number one as a payment network. Theoretically, the large supply is not a disadvantage if you want broad mass adoption/usage. I think many people will share my opinion that it on the other hand is a big advantage.

Systems with small supply at the end have higher chance/risk to becoming a speculative market. 21 billions is not that large, even 210 billions would be fine, it should not matter. Success or not lies somewhere else.

I have to agree with you.

You see who things change fast 2 years latter and coins with big supply are hot again. People that have so little knowledge only looking to the price and if price is under $1 or even under $0.01 are the one to be bought.
They do not realise that if such coins become worth $100 or more then  they would be bigger then top10 companies combine.

You know what, when I read this:
it should not matter. Success or not lies somewhere else.
and this:
I have to agree with you.

I know that I have to agree with both of you,... and I decided that I ll jump to this coin and sell my other coins.
I know this DigiByte will be a monster on Alpha Centauri,.... not on the moon.
The Devs only focus about usability, they only think about how to make the coin highly useful, more or less coins are not the point, the keypoint is only to make it useful,
DAMN.
