I was wondering, and I am asking this principally to the people involved with the DGB dev team, if there is a need for an advanced scientific python developer? I doubt my skills are tuned towards most of what you guys do (I'm not a programmer I am a theoretical physicist) but I would like to help out over summer if I can, and get more involved with the community.
I've sent out a PM to Jared on the official digiforum but he hasn't responded yet (completely understandable, he's a busy guy).
If someone related to the DGB team can send me a PM either on here or on the digiforum (user: alaniz) with more info/suggestions I'd be delighted to check out whether I can help with any of the things you guys are currently working on.
good on ya bitkapp, that's the spirit!  Loads of Raspberry Pi digibyte applications would probably require your kind of skills! Haha true! NFC + Raspberry Pi = DigiByte payment station? I think hardware applications are probably more suited when digibyte becomes slightly more established. I was referring more to data analytics, statistical analysis, basically anything mathsy which would be useful to apply to DGB. Again I have to stress I am in no way a crypto expert or anything of the sort but I am assuming that an advanced mathematician who knows how to program in python and is familiar with network analysis (not computer networks specifically but networks in general i.e. PageRank etc.), statistics etc. could potentially come in handy? Again I am just putting this out there and I have a few other projects that I could work on over summer so if you guys are not interested that's fine. On the other hand if you guys think I could be useful in any way PM me and we can talk details. P.S. Just a very quick thought I had; maybe an index showing some measure of how "strong" the digibyte network is could potentially be useful to future adopters/merchants and would quantify how good the DGB network actually is. Also identifying weak nodes/links within the network could help foresee any future problems? What do you think about something like this for DGB? With this of course. |

That's something on the line of what I'm thinking. Of course we already have DigiExplorer for blockchain info although I can already see some improvements/upgrades that could be done to DigiExplorer. I think network analysis could be something that people might be interested in. It would be awesome to be able to couple the information from the blockchain with esotericizm DigiMap idea to create a possible PageRank (or a modified PageRank) of all the nodes on the DGB network. If we could then create a map of all the nodes (i.e. DigiMap) and interconnections and put that along side some network analytics that could be something people within the community might be interested in and would be a piece of software that no other Crypto has (as far as I know). It would also quantify the robustness of the network and could attract more people and merchants. A robust network = a reliable network and that could be something merchants value. As soon as I am done with my exams I will be posting a more concrete set of ideas on the DigiByte official forum and if there is genuine interest for this type of thing within the community I will start cracking away! If you guys can tell me whether the DGB team and the community at large might be interested in this I can start gauging whether something like this is worth doing. Tell me what you think! |

. . . a future “Internet of Things” era in which interconnected appliances will . . . draw from an “infinite stream of digital currency” . . . . . . a new mode of commerce, interconnectivity and network access that is otherwise impossible under the traditional financial system. I think that much is for sure. Except for the "infinite" part.  (for the long term survivors anyway) |

If the Bitcoin community is any indication, the interest should be huge. It would be great to have all the data available from the network itself, to exchange trading, in dozens of charts. Add: That's for starters. Check out the API's! This is a priority pending project IMHO. |

I think this would be an awesome project to do. I am not very knowledgeable on front end development etc. so I would have to use something like insight which would make it very similar to digiexplorer. The only thing I could then add on top of digiexplorer is what I have already mentioned; which would be network analysis, a stats page like blockchain.info has for bitcoin and then extend that by adding an average price chart over multiple exchanges. Of course within this there is a lot of room for adding extra charts and visualizations (like digimap) and it could evolve into the place to get your digi-info. I've already thought of a potential name: DigiNetwork? Hahaha I don't know if this is true or not but digiexplorer seems dead and isn't being fully developed so I would be starting a similar resource with the added features I've mentioned (btw if the digiexplorer dev is reading this I would much prefer to collaborate with you then take on the challenge by myself so drop me a PM if your interested). +1 |

So, what's in a name? Just about everything. That's a real good one for under the radar discussion. A very important item indeed. I'll mull over it and give it some thought and PM you what comes to mind sometime soon. Best of luck and here's to this being just the beginning of something [else that's also] big! |

I've actually been working on implementing alot of these ideas separately but combining it all into a single resource would be awesome. I'm not a python guy but I do have a few questions I would like to ask about a python project I have in mind. Timezones can be a bit annoying but if you want to catch me or jared the best way is usually to idle on IRC. Digiexplorer has a JSON API thats useful for pulling in some basic transaction/network stats. Also it seems that digiexplorer got an update. No more "Bitcoin Block Explorer" and it looks like you can check your balance in DGB or USD now. |

Hey, sorry if I'm late to the Facebook Advertising Campaign. IMHO you should target the peeps that already do Crypto or money transfers.
For instance can you select keywords like Bitcoin, DOGECOIN, Western Union, Travelex, MoneyGram, etc in the advertising campaign? These people are already qualified prospects, because they already send money.
The key is to attract them to using DigiByte instead.
Sending money back to families in poorer countries, for near zero fees is a massive untapped market. Can we tap it?
Just my 2 cents

Hey thanks for your opinion! I agree 100% and we are targeting those people. Paypall,western union,bitcoin,crypto currency and we have tagged games and gamers. Currently we have about 270 likes and spend around 19$. |

I don't like those reddit comments at all. Combined with the leveraging encouraged and made possible by Poloniex, I'd say we've got a huge red flag that only gets redder when you look at the concentration of trading activity. http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/markets/show/poloniex If I had anything there I'd be getting it off immediately. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkWVD8MJlS0I just realized that Jared mentioned in this video that "after 12-24 months from the time of the presentation, you will be able to buy your morning coffee with DigiByte"... Well well well... We are really getting very close to the beginning of that time and DGB has done a huge progress from the time... Well done and keep it up Jared and the team! Check this out as well from https://youtu.be/JkWVD8MJlS0?t=681"6 minutes" and "less than 1 minute..." I noticed that as well, when I saw presentation first time. Now, what makes you think that we are close? Because what has been said by Jared is done by today, and September/October 2015 is the time to buy your daily coffee with DGB ? Lets see  Buy your morning coffee in the UK at Starbucks with Gift off |
