[ycagel]

HR,
 Awesome buddy! You are a beast and thanks for the transparency. This is exactly what we need to do from an outbound level.

1st round of e-mailing      20/07/2015 - 21/07/2015

1,083 e-mails sent

Automatic Replies: ~8.5% (mostly away from desk)

REMOVE: 2

Failed Delivery / Undeliverable: ~8.3%


After DB clean-up, this leaves me with just under 1,000 mostly high quality, middle management level, contact addresses (managers, office directors, account executives, etc.), which are sent in related group/department/division batches in open address format (not blind copies) so that recipients can see that their colleagues also received the same e-mail, hopefully leading to conversation about the subject (even if they are on opposite sides of the world and it is only an e-mail conversation). The target sector is exclusively financial related - banks, insurers, property managers, etc.


Total time spent: 10 hours


I’m looking at purchasing something already compiled, but the big risk there is the quality of the database provided.

Perhaps the UK and Netherlands might be a better value for roughly the same money. http://companydatabases.net/webshop/

Have you seen this from blockchain.info ?  https://blockchain.info/nodes-globe It looks like there is serious interest in the UK and the Netherlands . . . rivaling both coasts of the U.S.

Yeah, thanks for saying so. I think it certainly serves as another grain of sand at least!

I might have some more extra time this week, and I'd like to add another 1,000 to the list (the "mining" is getting progressively more difficult  ) if I can. Then I'll probably buy something as mentioned before. All opinions and information regarding good DBs for sale are welcomed!

BTW, if you, or anyone else, would like to send that e-mail to someone you know, feel free to do so. You can copy and paste the html (it's very basic), or you can even send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll get you a copy you can comfortably forward. 

TIA

HR,

Great job! Great to have you on board!

Jared,

Have you thought about making the reward for mining proportional to the mining capacity? E.g. over the last day if the average hash power for all algos is (these are just example low amounts to demonstrate the concept)

0-20 GH --> reward per block is 500
20-40 GH --> reward per block is 1000
40-60 GH --> reward per block is 1500
60 GH ++ --> reward per block is 2000

Calculate on maximum amount the years of mining for rewards and you can still maintain what you want yet when there isn't enough miners at play it prevents those only doing it from acquiring lots and auto miner dumping.

The price drops and less mine thats fine less is mined so their profits are lower and this discourages it.
More people mine and price rises more are inclined to mine which enlarges the pools and shares.

Seems this could work to me and promote without the need for hard forks to constantly adjust... thoughts Jared?

Jared,

Fantastic work on the Digireport.... this is what i'm talking about. This sort of thing provides an update and increases faith. I know i'll be rebuying some of my lost coins now to return to whale status as i must say the faith was lacking in the past and i was almost prepared to bail out completely.

Please keep these reports coming promptly and weekly as you said... even if you don't have much to list in them. Worst case is you can just read out some emails from people and address if you don't have any big updates coming. These sort of video reports is something other cryptos don't have and people can see the face and gain trust. It shows transparency, action and dedication. This must be maintained.

Kudos again.

Hello all,
I have a friend who is very good at making crochet toys etc...  I helped make her a website at http://www.icrochetit.com/en/  but unfortunately the paypal module isn't working so i said ' why don't you start excepting DigiByte?' well she has agreed and said she'll also crochet the DigiByte man!
My problem is finding a way to integrate this?  are there any free modules that work with prestashop? https://www.prestashop.com/

Thanks

What about digipay/ digitrade? Is there anything here that would help someone accept DigiByte on their site?

I'm glad people are thinking about this and it's great to hear what people think and if they have any ideas or possible solutions.

This particular concept, I fear might make the situation worse though o0o0. I'm just going to talk around sha, because it's what I'm used to but imagine that 70% of sha mining was currently owned by one entity and the other 30% was distributed around the world owned by small individual miners.
Now imagine the one entity that owned 70% of the mining didn't give a monkeys about DigiByte, the only reason they wanted any at all, was so that they could exercise some control over it. Imagine that this one entity not only did this to DigiByte but they possibly did it to every other sha mining coin that wasn't merge mined with Bitcoin already. An organization like this, if it existed because we are imagining, would have a considerable amount of network speed to bring to the party.

Your plan would reward these people by creating more supply when they were mining and punish the rest of us when they were not because the supply would be reduced. The possibility that 'they' already control 70% of one algorithm is bad enough!

This is an interesting view on the reward reduction/extension debate over on the DigiByte forum.

My vote would be that we don't extend production.


Short term the price isn't going to be very good, but I want DigiByte to succeed in the long term, so it's important we get it right early. The only real solution is to increase utility through projects, current and potential.

Don't forget you can use your DigiByte to purchase dedicated Website Hosting at CryptoCloudHosting.org.

This is a very interesting point that Morturium has made, possibly extending the production of DigiByte might bring around the demise of mining even sooner than the path that we are already on!

Lots more of us little miners on the network is what we need or perhaps our own farms but I'm trying to avoid this more centralized model. At this point, I'm not even convinced we can ultimately win. It's more of a reaction I have to being bullied!

Take a look at this and see if there's anything there that you might be able to use or model on.

It appears digibyte has a lot of dedicated mining which a lot of other coins don't have. It might be best to leave the rewards as is due to this.

Once DGB is accepted in the marketplace it will acquire a value through supply/demand, which is as it should be. The current production level, amount in circulation, and value of the coin are meaningless.

Lets say that by some tweaking to the production, the value of DGB can be increased. What good is that going to do right now? It doesn't do anything except make some people suddenly very rich, to the point that they will start dumping their DGB to cash in on their good luck.

There is hardly anywhere right now that you can do anything with DGB. That is the problem. Adoption of DGB is the most important goal.

As a selfish miner I say keep the rewards but I am happy with whatever dgb community think is best.

ANNOUNCEMENT ...

Hi Everyone,

Just heard from Olly over at Altcoin Speculation.  He just published a story on the DGB Gaming Wallet (Press Release).  It's in the "Coin News" section.

http://altcoinspeculation.com/the-digibyte-gaming-wallet/

His main site is:

He puts out a newsletter and I've been following his site for a while.

Let's all show him how much we appreciate his support and his help promoting DGB.

Regarding the coin reduction or mining period extention as you can call it, there are several things to consider. In the first place why extend the period? I personally don't believe in a 144 year supply, the real horizon is much closer. In the financial arena people have trouble planning things 5 years ahead so 144 years?  Stating that the supply will be the same but in an extended period is fooling yourself. The real period where things happen is the next 5 to 10 years and maybe even 2 to 5 years. If crypto is adopted the amount of coins on the market on that very moment is what matters not what the supply will be in 50 or 144 years.

Next thing is the reward. About six months ago the price of 1 Digibyte was 15-20 Sat and people complained about the supply. The price was pumped to 60 Sat and no one posted anything about the supply… Now the price is back to 25 Sat and people immediately agree to reduce supply. Is this decisson based on fundamentals to get Digibyte mainstream? Or is this call for reduction founded by the psychological phenomena that people accept gain very easily but can’t cope with loss.

My personal objection against supply reduction is the fact I did not hear a single good argument why the supply should be less. And if it really should be less, why 10 times? Because thats a nice number? Why not 2 or 7. Second objection I have is the short term thinking, what will happen in six months, or what will happen if one or some projects really getting momentum. The main reason some people agree is because they have a pile of Digibyte and see a quick (paper) gain.

I’m happy to diccuss this matter with anyone but simply stating reduce the supply because it suits my millions of Digi is not my cup of tea. A reduction must be done to support Digibyte as a coin, the security or the adoption otherwise I would say leave it as is.
