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

[duzydzichu]

It already happened? So it was before 5/6 dec.



You should update that image.

Will do!

Good, also "30 second DigiByte blocks vs. 10 minute Bitcoin blocks". I think that should be done long time ago, it is misleading.

[DigiByte]

Block reward halved or what? Used to be 2157 DGB / block, now 1078 DGB / block. v4.0.0.0

Let's do the math.... 21 Billion DGB in 21 years with 30 second blocks. 15 second blocks means double the amount of coins coming in to circulation unless there is not a %50 reduction. (Release notes)

V4.0 chain is fine. It appears there are a handful of services who did not upgrade. Let's give everyone a few hours to figure it out. All is well, cheers everyone.

Polo wallets back up fyi

Now it's time to start climbing the value

Xapo has created market/store for bitcoin, selling video/computer games:

Maybe there are some good ideas for Digibyte Market

miners-pool.eu is finding nothing but orphans on qubit, nobody is mining skein or groestl on there.

Most of blocks found are rejected by the network later... I used 3 different wallets location, all of them on a powerful server with good Internet connection. Now this coin is too fast. Only the most powerful pool can find blocks. Jared I'm not sure than reducing the block target to 15s was a good idea.

That sucks. I like your pool alot and have been mining at it for a long time.

I tried skein too but couldn't even connect. I hope this gets straightened out soon so I can point my miner there again.

Tried skein, it works.
And MYRG works too.

I found this coin through the league of legends promotion.  Getting free DBG for playing has now caused me to buy a bunch more as well!

I think this promotion has very good potential, but I think the referral program for it could be improved to really reward people for referring many users.

I think that the current system of getting 5000 free DBG if you refer 3 friends should be changed to add a 10% (or something) payment for all coins earned by your referrals.

This would incentivize 'famous' league of legends players to refer their fanbase, which could result in some massive growth of the userbase.  Imagine if one of the top LoL streamers started promoting digibyte in their stream to tens of thousands of their viewers?  They could probably get thousands of people to sign up.

I got the same problem - too many orphanes.

That's a very good idea.
However we need to be careful to not look like one of those ponzi schemes.
It could be a bad profile aswell

I agree.  I'd be in favor of a payout for every referral.  So, maybe something like 60 or 100 DGB for each referral confirmed as a new member - and a person could make as many referrals as they wanted.  But, I don't think that we should go anywhere near the multi-level-marketing scheme of getting a percentage of your referees' payouts.

I got the same problem:

wallet v.4.0, scrypt algo, pool reports 300 found blocks, but actually I receive only 30 of them. 90% was rejected on the network. Looks weird.

Dev D6Mjh5H7WjPVAg1626Apgk8ELmzhagXZDr here is my address, you can check it.

There is some thing wrong with wallet, for example, sharkcoin got 20 second block target, and I got only 5% orphans on it. And again, the block target is >1 minute on each algo, so it doesn't matter.

Or maybe you implement the same feature, as digital coin does:
• Algorithm Control - If the last three blocks were discovered by the same algorithm, the fourth block will be rejected until its found by one of the other two algorithms. This prevents directed attacks on the network from any single algorithm.

Or the goldcoin-like shield: only 6 blocks per 5 minutes(or something loke that), the rest will be orphaned anyway by the wallet?
That will explain everything.

It appears there is a fair amount of mining still occurring on the v3.0 wallets. We are working on an update to auto disconnect these peers. This should help with the orphan rate dramatically.

In the mean time transactions are still getting processed normally.

Thank you very much for your input. This is a very good idea. We will see what we can do!

the fact that DigiByte has such a low value in market cap compared to Litecoin is purely psychological I think)

Congrats; if I ever start mining again, I know which pool I will choose.

How about considering a 50% reduction?  This would lead to alot more investors and greater value to those who have already invested.  Also it would allow the value to be higher on your end rather then going down hill, could you please consider this?

Miningpoolhub Notice.

Sorry that we were late for Digibyte hardfork. Hardfork happened few hours ago but we didn't know.

We updated the wallet and had to reindex whole digibyte blockchain from scratch to flush many orphaned blocks.

1. We temporarily switched all digibyte mining shares to myriadcoin when digibyte wallet was preparing for reindexing.
So, who were mining digibyte would have got some myriadcoin credited on their balances page.

2. We have treated orphaned blocks as normal confirmed blocks and already credited DGB to your account.
Basically we give you DGB even it was invalid blocks. We're sure that you'd have got more DGB than usual. (Because difficulty was lower)
DGB that is on auto exchange features will be treated as normal coin as well, but it needs time since we have to check and treat them manually.


Currently, all issues are resolved.
Sorry for inconvenience. Thank you for your support.
