★★DigiByte|极特币★★[DGB]✔ Core v6.16.5.1 - DigiShield, DigiSpeed, Segwit

[24hralttrade]

Most of the DGB I currently have has been amassed via mining and they are very hard to part with at the current rate, as I'm already running a big loss after costs...

I use Amazon quite alot, and would be very happy to use my DGB instead of my credit card if I could buy them a little easier. Right now I have to do a wire transfer to Cryptsy (takes a minimum of 5 working days), pay a fee for the wire transfer, then convert to BTC, then buy DGB with my BTC and pay another fee for that, then I have to withdraw to my wallet and pay another fee for that! I don't see others going to that much trouble to use another currency when they can just bang in their CC number and be done with it. IMO this is the real reason the general consumer is not taking much interest in crypto currencies right now and until this gap is closed, most people holding crypto are speculative hoarders, myself included... Not because I want to, but because it's the only way I can justify the effort to get them.

With this in mind, creating products that can only be purchased with DGB is a good option and something we are implementing in our project. We're still a long way off from launch though (Not until early 2016)

In the meantime, anybody know an easier way for me to convert my aussie dollars into DGB???

Have you tried https://btcmarkets.net

Aussie exchange and they have good support and their volume is growing. 

Cheers for that nailer! They look pretty good, and reasonable BTC prices too

Lol i almost dumped all my Digibytes for btc and wanted to sell over there,,, But then,, Aussie dollars hahahah

I have been using them for over 12 months now without any problems.

That guy on 47 sat makes a smart move

yes, but the person who fills his order is a knob! 

Some decent debate going on here and I think we have fleshed most of it out. What we really need is faster easy ways of converting fiat to DGB.

and

I didn't say anyone who spends their DGB is a fool, I said anyone who spends ALL of their DGB is a fool, especially if they mined it!

One day i was reading here some members talking DigiByte exchance this idea in trashcan?

yes, I'm sure Jared was talking about that at one point, I remember reading it somewhere at sometime. I don't know, i imagine it may still be in the pipeline but there are so many things going on with this coin.

Having an issue with my Digibit wallet not synchronizing...just happened today only saying "Connecting..." on the bottom of the wallet.  Any idea why I am not connecting to any peers?

Exactly,  You are spot-on.  At the old website you could see a "roadmap" and there you could see the DGB exchange is in development.

Maybe you can try to reset/resync the blockchain?

The Node story have alot of notice in crypto world sinds launch

Webside down

[Jumbley]

http://dgbmap.com/ beta. Still a few things need working on and once I'm happy with the API I will expose it to the public.

Cheers.

cool stuff and compared to bitcoin nodes, we are more 'out there' than most would give us credit for!
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

a few tweaks before going public and when I say tweaks I don't think he means like the twoeeks BFL and BA used to tell their customers. 

and just a reminder for anyone who has not joined our new forum and that must be loads of you!

How can we improve this basic description of DigiByte multi-algorithm mining?

DigiByte uses five independent mining algorithms to process transactions over the network. Each algorithm accounts for about 20% of all blocks discovered on the network. This allows for greater decentralization as currently three of the five DigiByte algorithms are ASIC resistant and much better for GPU miners. The best GPU algorithms to mine on are Skein, Groestl and Qubit. It is still possible (but not recommended) to mine all five algorithms with a CPU.

SHA256 is heavily dominated by used Bitcoin ASICS as DigiByte provides an attractive market to miners who can no longer competitively mine Bitcoin with their used ASICS.  Scrypt is now becoming more dominated by ASICs, however it is still possible to GPU mine a few DigiBytes each day.

also this to think about.

[Jumbley]

Please could members of the DigiByte community write individual brief statements about how they feel the first year of DGB went.  Also, please include your favourite moment and what you anticipate in the future.  These statements will go into the book.

FYI, the default settings for digihash skein on Radeon 7750 are too extreme. They make the system choppy. And I don't mean "cannot play 3D game choppy" I mean so choppy I have difficulty typing this message as the letters get there easily half a second later.

The proposed parameters are:

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 13 -g 2 -w 264

Producing ~45MHs peaking the card at 60C.
The following produces a far more usable system while keeping the hashrate ~45MHs.

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 10 -w 256

Odd stuff: this does 46MHs and is even smoother:

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 8 -w 64

are there things we can do now to prevent fud actions in the future?
every coin that starts to get a pump gets massive fud attack.

I never saw any fud  in dgb so far and i myself trust this coin 100%
but was thinking about it for new investors that come.

like Bitstake for example. i don't follow them enough to know whats happening but i know they are having alot of fud and price crashed from 100k to 25k.

If i also heard right  Arch did also suffer from FUD. but again i only heard that one so not 100% sure

anyway my question. is there something we can do right now to prepare ourselfs for upcomming FUD when  our pump starts ?

no but when it comes we can shoot it down with the truth!

A couple of quick responses ...

As we move forward, let's keep in mind that there's a difference between FUD and critical questions.  Digibyte can - in my opinion - deal adequately with both.

Remember that FUD is a sales technique.  It's a sales and marketing strategy - it's not critical evaluation.  The FUD strategy was largely pioneered by IBM sales people way back when ... It goes something like this: "you should buy our brand because you don't want to deal with the hassles and problems of some inferior brand."  Over the years, the strategy has evolved to apply to range of approaches to sell a particular perspective.  It is especially dangerous in trading and digital currencies because it feeds on inherent fears and uncertainties related to risk and investment.  As long as we keep in mind that people spreading FUD are selling something ... once you figure out what they're selling ... their logic is transparent and their arguments lose credibility.  FUD - in any form - is never anything except marketing and persuasion that is void of critical thought.

In the future we will face critical questions - let's say from a merchant, new to digital currency, who is concerned about security, or implementing an unfamiliar technology.  These sorts of questions will get posted, they'll generate debate ... maybe even some little bumps in the road ... but, in the end, I believe that we can demonstrate the value and quality as we grow and build into the future.
