The warning signs have been around for a long time. Security needs to be #1 priority for everyone in this industry, including individuals. I'm amazed at people who don't have 2fa for example. It's free & makes you a LOT more secure. When the dgb exchange is completed, I hope to see a fortress.

And for the boat,house retire thing.. Offcourse that's just dreams that may come true. But yeah,,I want a new car before summer starts!! I'm with you Jumbley and 24. Aside from some BTC for trading, I've consolidated all my mining and holdings of digital currency into DGB. Holding for the long-term. I have a simple response to someone who suggests this isn't a diversified approach. My investments in digital currency are only a part of my overall investments. Are you suggesting that a person who only buys one house at a time is an extremist? Creating a diverse investment portfolio only works if you diversify across multiple sectors and instruments. It doesn't mean invest in lots of different versions of the same thing. It means invest in a diverse range of investment instrument categories (stocks, bonds, real-estate, digital currencies, commodities, etc). And, in each category, make decisions about which instruments are best suited to succeed in the future. I think - based on my research - that DGB is the best coin for future growth as an investment, and - just as important - I really like the professional mentality of the developers and the community. It's a community and project that I support - that's why I'm investing in it ... not the other way around. RD965: what you're describing "investing in lots of coins," is not diversification; it's hedging. And, it's often a good strategy (I do it too sometimes). But, hedging doesn't really lend diversity to a portfolio - just helps to manage risk. All digital currencies are so risky and volatile, that I can understand your perspective. But, from my perspective, I can tolerate dramatic swings in short-term value. So, to extend your metaphor ... because I think the long-term potential of DGB is fantastic, I'd rather put all my eggs in 1 basket because it's a strong basket that's best suited to carry eggs. That doesn't mean I only have 1 basket; it just means this one is for eggs.

In interests of being entirely accurate and appropriately descriptive, should we be calling DGB a "Cryptographic Digital Currency"? http://asistec-ti.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3&p=113#p113Don't be shy with posting your views.

Interesting post (here : http://wp.me/p1Xmbd-S0 ) on someone creating a paid email system as a means of dealing with spam. Even tiny payments would basically make spamming unfeasibly expensive and a micro-currency like DGB would be perfect for this. I agree with the writer that this could be one potential "killer-app" for any cryptocurrency and would strongly urge the DGB team to look into this ASAP. DGB has a powerful advantage over BTC in this respect as whole coin payments are much easier for people to deal with than decimals. One way to do this would be to create a standalone or online DGB email client which charges a variable amount depending on the number of recipients of an email (according to the market price this could be adjusted from time to time), perhaps starting with 1 DGB per recipient. This would be paid by the sender. Just as important it should also be possible to add extra features that make use of the blockchain such as consensus timestamps and even notary type services to take this beyond just being an email client that charges. The sending fees could be used to pay for further development of the DGB mail client to add these features. I for one would love a means of sending email where I don't have to face the daily deluge of crap that seems to elude my spam filters. For people with the right skills putting this together should be fairly simple and straightforward. I would love to hear other's opinions on this and hope that the DGB team can look into this. Somebody will implement this correctly and whoever does will have a substantial advantage in taking their cryptocurrency forward. (Just to add: This could also open up a new way for people to create paid newsletters (I know they already exist bust this could streamline it) where transactions could occur in both directions, although it should be a basic principle that the sender should always pay at the point of sending to prevent anyone taking advantage of it for spamming purposes.)

I don't expect everyone to do that but I'm quite willing to wait and I'm playing a long game but momentum is everything and hedging is only going to draw that out. I've placed my bet and will still have somewhere to live and food on the table if I lose. There are less fiat currencies in the world today than there are countries and there are about twice as many cryptos as there are of those. I aim to move forward not backwards and for me this is beneficial just in time saved now that I'm not following markets I feel certain will never make good.

I could certainly do with a lot less spam and I hate missing or deleting the odd important email as I hastily deal with it.

The warning signs have been around for a long time. Security needs to be #1 priority for everyone in this industry, including individuals. I'm amazed at people who don't have 2fa for example. It's free & makes you a LOT more secure. When the dgb exchange is completed, I hope to see a fortress. 2FA helps you shit if the owner of the exchange is a fraudulent scammer who was known for that before. You dont believe the Hacker story, do you? I think you misunderstand me. When I say "the warning signs have been around for a long time" I mean that Bter is a shady exchange, run by inexperienced people. When I said "security needs to be #1 priority" I meant all elements of security, not only 2fa etc, but having money spread out, and staying on top of news developments. I don't know if the stories are true, but from my own experience of bter 6 months ago, I'd never go back.
