Open letter of thanks to the community,
I am very impressed with the entire community that has, and continues to rise up around DigiBytes.
There are a lot of people who don't want this to succeed - that is plain to see considering the DDoS and other attacks against the pools and sites who support the coin.
That should make us work that much harder.
Pickaxe can be an asshole, but he runs a good pool
Our investigations at
dgb.Get-By.com also show absolutely no indication that he, or his pool, has been involved in any of the ongoing attacks.
That honor rests with
xtrapool.More importantly, he also brought up a very good point concerning a 51% attack on the blockchain.
If you are mining @ a very large pool please consider switching to one of the many smaller pools that the community is providing. You can find a list in the OP post on the first page of this thread. This is very important for the trust and health of DigiBytes as a currency.
I happen to like:
dgb.Get-By.com But I am biased, it is my pool
That said, we are a trustworthy pool and haven't had a single intrusion that didn't involve a user who had been insecure with their login details.
And even then, we have reimbursed nearly 100,000 DGB to users out of our own pockets to cover their losses.
Those users can particularly thank the DigiByte devs for their support of the pool.
So!
Come join us at
dgb.Get-By.com, or get involved at one of the other smaller pools in the community and let's nip this 51% stuff before it becomes a problem. It doesn't take much for the wider market to lose faith so early in our existence, it would be terrible shame to let happen.
In addition, please vote at the various threads, subreddits, etc.
Re-Tweet the developers tweets, show DigiBytes some love on Facebook.
It is this social interaction and participation that gives a crypto-currency value.
If WE value the coin, then others will as well.
Kindest Regards,
Samantha.
