Now I'm going to get very serious with the community with 2 questions for you to consider and hopefully respond to.
Just to get this straight: I'm falsely accused of trying to "extort" DGB, and I have no right to be indignant?
And to top things off, in spite of my very measured reaction and carefully chosen words (in contrast with what we commonly see BTW), you're still more threatened by what I said than by the character defamation itself?
you are so arrogant you think your personal matters are so important, community should discuss it. You are not alone here and this thread is not about you. Just chill and stop demeaning yourself. I'm gonna ignore you from now on

I have been with this coin for quite a while, however I haven't opened my wallet for nearly a year and a half. I've updated to the latest wallet and it is syncing but it says it it going to take 4 years to do so ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) . Lets hope it doesn't take that long. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fa%2F8rA23&t=665&c=2yx-YYAd88OQCw) It should take two-three hours tops with a good connection to sync. The timing estimate is a bug we never got fixed before release. However, it does not effect anything. By the way, while wallet is syncing some people mention they only have 1 connection. BTC does this as well. The get headers request is sent to a single peer.

Clearly something has happened between yourself and whoever is controlling the Digibyte account today, and it clearly has something to do with some kind of rejected business offer. I've never seen the Digibyte account be quite so sharp before, so whatever the deal was it's clearly left a bad taste in someone's mouth. However, and take this as commentary from a neutral observer: 1. Without knowing the details, you may have a right to be indignant, but I think you also know that it is human nature to be less inclined to back down and/or apologize if one is repeatedly demanded to do so in front of a large number of people. If your goal is to gain an apology, repeated posts demanding one probably will not achieve it. 2. Extort can mean things other than blackmail. It can also simply mean overcharging. (see #2) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/extortionAgain, I have no idea what your deal is/was about, this is merely neutral commentary. 3. Take this with a grain of salt, but "in contrast with what we commonly see" doesn't mean that what we commonly see is normal/acceptable. Not flying off the handle is something most people can do so I'm not going to congratulate someone for not doing it. In summary, no matter what happened, it's not a good look for a dev account to post messages like that. But on the back of a great week, let's not let things get out of hand and sidetrack the whole thread for one conversation. If you want to pursue an apology in DMs that's up to you of course, you seem to have direct discourse with the dev team.

Please note solo mining can be fairly technical, but not impossible. First off you have 5 DigiByte algos to choose from: 1) Sha256 - Only mined by ASIC's nowadays - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ASIC2) Scrypt - Mined by Scrypt ASIC's 3) Groest - Minable by GPU's 4) Skein - Minable by GPU's 5) Minable by CPU & possibly GPU Once you choose an algo and figure out your hardware you need to setup the appropriate mining software such as cgminer, sgminer, or BFG miner. There are thousands of possible hardware configurations and setups. This can require tedious tweaking and calibration. We have spent entire days in the past configuring miners for optimum performance. There are some great forums out there to discover with a google search or a search of this forum. One in particular place is: http://cryptomining-blog.com/http://cryptomining-blog.com/category/mining-software/We should also mention unless you have a large hash farm, pooled mining is more profitable and reliable. There are plenty of good DGB pools out there.

As for a white paper, I don't mind there is no DGB specific white paper. BTC had the start, go read its white paper.
You know, that’s your decision and I respect it, even though it’s opposite my views. What’s more, and again, in spite of it being the antithesis of what I support, I respect you much more than the coward who simply tries to evade the topic or sweep it under the rug. Like the people involved in DASH who say they don’t care about the instamine, you have the right to say you don’t care about the lack of documentation. As long as everyone is informed, then everyone’s entitled to their own decision. However, just as I respect you, I think it’s only fair you respect my point of view too, don’t you? If there’s no problem with you saying you don’t care, what problem is there with me saying I do? In fact, society values those who express their concerns. I care about the lack of documentation and have been actively taking advantage of every opportunity over the last couple of years to say so and try to instigate a change for the positive. What’s the problem with that? That’s one thing that should have stayed at that.The problem is when you are intimidated, attacked and slandered for your legitimate views (and good documentation is legitimate, of course, it’s a best practice), and when it’s the Dev himself, then all the warning lights should go off. (And when it's personal character assassination, one should be duly indignant.) Is this so hard to see? I had him pull the “read the code yourself” on me last year with questions about how the individual algos reset their individual difficulty to mine settings and whether they were linked or not. I chalked it up to his own emotional limitations and not being able to handle the directness of our questions. What’s doubly concerning today is that a year has gone by and the same response was given to someone else at their first asking. There’s no emotion involved in being concerned about a pattern of behavior that continues to this day and flies in the face of all conventional wisdom regarding what it takes for a tech project to succeed. First there was astonishment on my part, then indignation, and I’ve explained this enough already. Let it be a word to the wise, and to those who just don’t get it, we can all turn the page and go on. (And no, even though these things would have been indirectly included in the offer I made to DigiByte, none of this was a material aspect.) P.S. To those of you with your hallucinogenic theories about why this happened, or what my motivations are, etc., give it a rest. It’s not that complicated. It is what it is. You can accept it or not, but not accepting it won't change what it is. And the best thing, of course, is to accept reality as it is and not try to impose what you think it should be. Did I say a word to the wise already?

@HR,
Are you happy with, how your behaviour drives down the price?
You came up with your aggression right at times, when trades are boiling. What a coincidence! Don't say it's just that!
Let's see your flip-flop to positive side later...

Don't mix things. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other, other than coincidence. Or do you really think that little old me is that powerful? I don't share such delusional ideas. I would never, for example, tell anyone that I am so smart that I don't need to explain myself, much less think I could influence price. Is that what you thought I was doing when I was talking about buy and sell levels? Are you for real? How many like you are there here who need to go back and read and try to understand? I was very clear about sharing trading techniques in the hope of helping others to more intelligently buy. How in the world did you extract price manipulation from that? Or from what's been said here today? Get a grip man! If you want conspiracy theories and manipulation, head over to the Poloniex troll box. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Edit: I've got a buy order in at somewhere between 175 and 200 BTW. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) (And it's not that I'm so smart that I'm not going to explain why, rather it's because I'm fed up with this board.)

This is place, where people follow everything regarding alt. And I can say, definately you cover DGB in dark colors. It's how looks like from the side! What is an aim of your posts? Do you think dev will in a mega hurry write up documentation? In a day or two? Community did hear you! It's ok, you are right in many points. Just switch off your broken record!

Tell that to Jared who has spent the better part of a year trying to destroy this board and keep everything "secret" on Telegram! You tell me what I'm trying to do. At the end of the day, that's what we'll have to settle on since you will settle for nothing else but what you think. But I will tell you this: transparency and integrity are two words under my avatar that will give you a hint . . . if you really wanted to know. And no, for as important a source of information that you might think this is, one person's opinion is not going to move the market in the least. In fact, the current correction on the 15 minute chart started hours before this exchange began. Sorry. Try again. P.S. I will give you this though, the community as a whole can certainly have longer term affects on price (as Jared well knows) as well as Dev remarks can (as Jared also well knows ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ).

Hi, I've just started looking into this coin a couple of days ago, and wanted to give some impressions based on the point of view of an outsider looking into getting into it. I know the coin is really in it's infancy (although making it this far is impressive,) but there are quite a few things about the way the entire project looks at the moment that give cause for concern, especially for someone just looking into it. Just for disclosure, I don't really care about short term price fluctuations, especially while the coin is worth a faction of a cent. I'm more concerned with the long-term viability/adaption of the technology and whether the stated $1-$10 long-term price is in any way realistic.
First, the good:
-The technology seems very good, it seems to address all of the major shortcomings of bitcoin (mostly transaction times and miners becoming too powerful), through multiple mining algorithms and shorter block times. -Many techs included within DGB that have been picked up by other coins, indicating that the devs know what they're doing -I've read a lot about how the developers are dedicated to the technology and have stuck with it over time, wanting to see it widely adopted (as opposed to pump-and-dump) (although some of this flies in the face of some evidence, stated below) -There are attempts to have DGB adopted as a 'gamer currency', which is probably as good a place as any to start gaining some traction, provided it's implemented properly. -Still profitable to mine with GPUs, even at with current prices -Active mining pools, with a few large GH types pointed at them at the moment. -Still here after several years, while many shitcoins have come and gone.
And now, the bad:
-There doesn't appear to have been any serious activity in Github for a couple of months now.. I keep hearing about how active and dedicated the development team is, so is the apparent lack of development just a temporary post-release thing or is it something deeper? -Some really instantly obvious bugs in the client (like the sync time remaining showing several years)... Not that this is necessarily a major issue but it doesn't leave a good impression, especially for a currency that wants to appeal to the masses. -Stuff left outstanding on the repository that certainly doesn't demonstrate any care of the part of the developers, for instance the 'DigiByte vs DigiByte' paragraph on the README.md which is supposed to be about DigiByte vs. Bitcoin is big obvious front-facing error that was even pointed out in the github bugs a couple of months ago.. and weren't responded to or the issue addressed. -On that note, there seems to be a lack of 'thin' wallets, meaning anyone wanting to hold essentially needs to run a full node.. there appears to have been one light 'gamer wallet' which was apparently pulled for being buggy. Of course these would appear if the currency took off in any way, which is a chicken and egg thing, I suppose. -No Wikipedia page to speak of (just gives the impression this is not a real thing) -Some reports on Reddit about Digibyte gaming being more or less unusable, people losing coins, etc... This is supposed to be a flagship application of the currency but it's obviously there yet. -There seems to be quite a bit of hype around Minecraft integration, but there is no deal whatsoever with Mojang or Microsoft to justify this, just plans for a private server which gives out DGB.. not that this isn't an interesting project but it's pure speculation as to whether it will take off or receive sufficient attention to make it a factor, especially given there's no official sponsorship of it, or for any other games for that matter. -I'd have some concerns about the potential size of the blockchain, especially if/when it gains more general adoption.
Again, this is not meant to criticise anyone or nit-pick, I have no idea what the size of the development team is or how well resourced it is, and understand it's early days, things are in their infancy, there's a lot of work to be done, etc. I'm just giving an honest opinions of the findings from someone who's coming into this fresh and deciding whether it's worth getting involved. Also happy to be corrected on any of the points above if I've got them wrong or missed things (likely)

Simply wanted to use your comment as the basis for a general description of the situation to everyone here. It was not specifically directed at you, and I apologize if it came off that way. Not at all. Just a good opportunity to illustrate a healthy dichotomy for everyone to contemplate.

Just offered another perspective from a long-time holder's point of view. No. And I didn't want to insinuate that was your intention. Simply wanted to use your comment as the basis for a general description of the situation to everyone here. It was not specifically directed at you, and I apologize if it came off that way. Not at all. Just a good opportunity to illustrate a healthy dichotomy for everyone to contemplate. 10-4. No worries.

As for a white paper, I don't mind there is no DGB specific white paper. BTC had the start, go read its white paper.
You know, that’s your decision and I respect it, even though it’s opposite my views. What’s more, and again, in spite of it being the antithesis of what I support, I respect you much more than the coward who simply tries to evade the topic or sweep it under the rug. Like the people involved in DASH who say they don’t care about the instamine, you have the right to say you don’t care about the lack of documentation. As long as everyone is informed, then everyone’s entitled to their own decision. However, just as I respect you, I think it’s only fair you respect my point of view too, don’t you? If there’s no problem with you saying you don’t care, what problem is there with me saying I do? In fact, society values those who express their concerns. I care about the lack of documentation and have been actively taking advantage of every opportunity over the last couple of years to say so and try to instigate a change for the positive. What’s the problem with that? That’s one thing that should have stayed at that.The problem is when you are intimidated, attacked and slandered for your legitimate views (and good documentation is legitimate, of course, it’s a best practice), and when it’s the Dev himself, then all the warning lights should go off. (And when it's personal character assassination, one should be duly indignant.) Is this so hard to see? I had him pull the “read the code yourself” on me last year with questions about how the individual algos reset their individual difficulty to mine settings and whether they were linked or not. I chalked it up to his own emotional limitations and not being able to handle the directness of our questions. What’s doubly concerning today is that a year has gone by and the same response was given to someone else at their first asking. There’s no emotion involved in being concerned about a pattern of behavior that continues to this day and flies in the face of all conventional wisdom regarding what it takes for a tech project to succeed.

Not at all. Just a good opportunity to illustrate a healthy dichotomy for everyone to contemplate. It appears Jared and the DigiByte community know who you are, and your concerns for a "White Paper". The fact that you keep harping about it, only unveils the fact of your evil intention (weak male ego) to keep ramming it down peoples throats. Last time I checked, Jared is doing everything he dreams of doing with Digibyte. Last time I checked, the arbitrary authorities do not require a White Paper. Has some ethical code or law been broken? No. Give it a rest.
