[ANN][DGC] Digitalcoin | Multi-algorithm | BTC38.Com Traded | Launched in 2013

[Tyke]

Tyke,

you want to say DGC. Because DGB is Digibyte.  

Oh yes, sorry.  I have corrected that.  

I have done some research as regards the initial blocks:


Blocks:           1-1,079       Reward: 2
Blocks:     1,080-2,159       Reward: 1
Blocks:     2,160-3,239       Reward: 2
Blocks:     3,240-4,319       Reward: 5
Blocks:     4,320-5,399       Reward: 8
Blocks:     5,400-6,479       Reward: 11
Blocks:     6,480-7,559       Reward: 14
Blocks:     7,560-8,639       Reward: 17
Blocks:    8,640-523,799    Reward: 20   (until the 5th of November 2013)
Blocks: 523,800-1,027,999  Reward: 15  (until the 9th of December 2014)


From block number 1,028,000 the reward per block is 5 DGC. Has it been 5 DGC up until now?

But it is 5 DGC per algo (scrypt, sha and x11) per 40 seconds between all three algo.  In essence, it is still 15 DGC per 40 seconds block time.

Thank you.  I will make sure I describe and explain fully the current algorithm and specification of the coin in the book.

Thank you.  I will make sure I describe and explain fully the current algorithm and specification of the coin in the book.  

There should be 2160 blocks per day at 5 DGC reward per block. That's one block every 40 seconds found by one of the three algorithms.

The chain runs a little slower than that, and we get an average of about 1900 blocks per day, but it's still 5 DGC every ~40 seconds

ROKOS v5 "flavors" Screen Shots

"ROKOS" Initial Setup

1.- Download and Burn the ROKOS Image to a micro SD Card like you would with any other Pi Distro.
March 01 2016
ROKOS v5 "flavors" - DOWNLOAD

Steps for first boot

*Raspberry Pi 2:
User: pi / Password: raspberry , follow normal setup.

a) Type: sudo raspi-config
b) Set your Time Zone, change your pi user password and Expand the file system, restart.
After restart the system you can type:  "startx"   to start the user desktop.
c) System ready for use.

Welcome to the ROKOS Desktop

Final steps / BTC and OK Clients

a) Go to Menu > Internet and Click on your favorite Cryptocurrency Wallet

This will open the Cryptocurrency wallet and start sync.

*For some Cryptocurrencies the initial sync might take some days, wallets are fully usable after being fully Synchronized.

b) Always remember to make constant backups of your wallets and save them in USB or external media.

Use your wallets in ROKOS to plug HW and mine, Send/Receive, Stake, Share,
become a full node and support your favorite Cryptocurrency network, develop new applications,
etc, the limit is only in your imagination.


Important Security Notice:
*) Remember to create a backup for your Wallets, you can use the wallets to create them and save in different folders on a USB device.
You should ALWAYS have a backup of your wallet, Raspberry Pi Hardware, Raspbian and ROKOS Software are under development hence not responsible for missuses, electrical or compatibility issues that might cause a loss of information. It is as secure as one's ability to take care for it, same as a computer, so always have a backup of your wallets on an external device.

*) Some people tend to recommend getting a 128Gb MicroSD HC (High speed) , at the same time it does work, I do not recommend this solution, as microSD cards tend to get corrupted by the number of overwrites, to ensure the best functionality and security you should use an external HDD/USB storage device to store the chains.

You can start testing and developing new integration with ROKOS and your favorite cryptocurrencies for your IoT projects.

"Empower yourself and build your own Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Fullnode Guide"

ROKOS Guide from zero! Full steps for New Users
by SwedishBitMiner

---Prepare the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card---

(I did this on a Windows computer, and I dont know what tool to use for Mac to install the iso file Image burner, for this guide you will have to figure out that yourself, if you use Mac)

1. Download and install SD Formatter 4.0 (This is the tool to format the SD card) from:
Windows: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/SDFormatterv4.zip
Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_mac/SDFormatter_4.00B.pkg
(or find it yourself at: https://sdcard.org/downloads)

2. Insert the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card into your PC/Mac. (You will probably need an MicroSD to SD adapter for this).

3. Start SD Formatter 4.0 and click the [Option] button. In there you change from "FORMAT TYPE: QUICK" to "FORMAT TYPE: (FULL)Erase", just leave the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" in OFF and click the [OK] button so start the format. When the card is completely formatted click the [Exit] button to close SD Formatter.

4. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager (This is the iso file Image burner) from:
Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

5. Download ROKOS Core (rokos5.img.zip) and unzip the ISO file (This is the awesome ROKOS Core "Operating System" that we are going to install on the SD card) from:
Download: http://bit.ly/rokos5flavors
(or find it yourself at: http://rokos.space

6. Start Win32 Disk Imager, press the "little blue folder" and select the "rokos5.img" file that you did extract. Make sure your SD card is selected in the list to the right and press the [Write] button. It will tell you that it can corrupt the SD card, just press [Yes] to continue the installation, when the installation to the SD card is done press the [Exit] button to close Win32 Disk Imager.

7. Now "Safely remove" your SD card from the computer.

8. Put the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card in your Raspberry Pi 2, and make sure you got an USB Keyboard, Monitor (via HDMI), and and Internet cable connected to the Raspberry Pi 2 before you connect the power cable to your Raspberry Pi 2.

Yesterday I completed the historical research for the first 3 months of Digitalcoin (May 2013, June 2013 and July 2013).  As a rough draft, these three months in the book take up 26 pages (A5 book).

That's excellent Tyke!!

Thanks for your support of Digitalcoin!

CoinFest UK would be a great venue to promote your books.

He has more Batesreserch. http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Chris-P.-Thompson/e/B00S5L3PVM and he's becoming quite the crypto historian.

TT

Edit: Don't know if you've considered this Tyke, but https://noobie.io/ might be another outlet for your books, and folks will be able to buy with their favorite coin.

Sent a bit to your DGC address. Good luck with finishing it!

I posted this in another coins thread, but it was largely ignored. I think it can be of great benefit to DGC as well.

DGC desperately needs an additional form of mining to appeal to users who want to support and secure the network, but don't have the time nor funds to set up and maintain expensive mining equipment. 

There currently isn't much incentive for anyone to mine anything other than multipools, or one of the TOP coins they are heavily invested in. With a very carefully calculated PoS reward (there may be something better than PoS these days, I'm terribly out of date...POS3?) it can appeal to the basic user. I don't think pure POS would be necessary (or would it), maybe hybrid?

Tell me your thoughts.

[kelsey]

pos would take the last of the dignity away from this coin, but as i'm not a fan i'd say go for it 

[cryptohunter]

Is this the real digital coin thread?

Where is their official thread. I can't locate it anywhere?

Did they all move off to their own forum and not leave a forwarding address.

This is the latest official ANN.

Oldest that I'm aware of is:

Topic: DigitalCoin.Co | Secure. Established. Active Development | v2.0 Released!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209508.0

This was started by baritus.

After that came:

[DGC] Digitalcoin 3.0 | Multi-algorithm, Improved Blockchain Storage | RELEASED!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=785601.0

This was started by kenel

So in order to be able to keep the OP updated we started this one, and a few of us have access to the Digitalcoin Foundation user account, so we shouldn't have to create another ANN if one person leaves.

We do use the Digitalcoin forum a little more than BCT. https://forum.digitalcoin.co

Agreed, and very much in favor of exploring this further. There has been discussion around this topic on the Digitalcoin forum, but limited input.
