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

[HR]

The "Subtract fee from amount" to send is a very nice addition as well (or was that always there and I'm so used to doing it manually that I just never noticed it?). Makes coin management all that much easier.

Where are the release notes leveraging ALL the improvements?

(SegWit is big, but everything else counts too, no matter how small - end users often love the cosmetic things that seem trivial to programmers . . . I know I sure do.   )

For scrypt you can simply change the version from 536899586 to 536870914 (In hex 0x20007002 -> 0x20000002), yup you create about 2% of the blocks ^^

You are allways wellcome to come have a chat with the rest of the community in the official DGB group if you have any questions or concerns:
https://t.me/DigiByteCoin

yeah and even more in sha256 ^^
hmm i do not want to use my phone number - so i probably can not access "Telegram" ?
so how do you know this? is there any kind of documentation? ( how is the "7" related to "13" ? ^^ )

Yeah, that's a nice explanation. Not overly technical, but with enough background etc. Thx for the link

Thanks for the blog post!

@M8BWNNRFMNdak68c
Nice! Do you run a pool or solo mine?

Well SegWit is being rolled out with a softfork (BIP9: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki)
Which means there is a flag in the version (32 bits):
https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/blob/6.14.2/src/chainparams.cpp#L159

Hope it helps?

ok that you! so i learned:

we take the version number ( as integer ) and convert it to binary number
536899586 ->  0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 0000 0000 0010
( some explorers print it hexadecimal: -> 20007002 )

we interpret this as a bitmask and give them numbers ( from left "B31" to "B0" on right side )
per definition is given  ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki#bit-flags )
B31 = 0
B30 = 0
B29 = 1

then we compare the other bits with the definition ( https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/blob/6.14.2/src/chainparams.cpp#L154 ) and see :

B12 = 1 = DEPLOYMENT_CSV
B13 = 1 = DEPLOYMENT_SEGWIT
B14 = 1 = DEPLOYMENT_NVERSIONBIPS

so all three proposals are successfully voted for. addiitionally, there are bits for POW algorithm description:

scrypt 
0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 0000 0000 0010
sha256
0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 0010 0000 0010
skein
0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 0110 0000 0010
qubit
0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 1000 0000 0010
myr
0010 0000 0000 0000 0111 0100 0000 0010

now we only have to think about
B1 = 1
so a block is always "Version 2" ? ( in comparison to an earlier version 1 )

Did we have Auto Complete in the Console window before, or is that new too? (I know that others like BTC and LTC have it, but I don't remember that feature in DGB before . . .) It would be a new feature to list in the v6.14.2 release notes.

There is a small issue with the input/output icons in Transactions - I've only got a little black box for both. Same thing for Debug window in the Help drop down menu (also, the DigiByte logo for About DigiByte Core in that same drop down menu is a black circle).

Edit: Disappointed whale dumps 66 million DGB, but before I posted this. Not my fault!  

Just now: 80 million on a hammer down to 51 that closed at 57 (5 min chart). Ouch. The same guy?

Thx for the heads up on the dump, was waiting for this. Nice time to place a few more buys (though price has recovered a little now).

Hi, i am having a problem with gaming wallet. "Error at wallet Service: Insight error", very rarely my wallet works, but most of the time it is having this problem. Also with core wallet i have problem syncing around march 2016 it stops and i must start syncing from the beginning so i cannot sync it. I'm frustrated because i cant use digibyte no matter witch way i try. Any solution? Thanks.

I say we run a contest and give the winner "the boot".

The contest is to see which is the last algo to signal SegWit, and the winner gets "the algo swap" in favor of a more widely distributed, fairer, and more end user friendly algo.

Let it be known and make it happen.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Send those ingrates packin'.    


Edit: looks like The Blocks Factory (scrypt, sha-256, skein) and Mining Pool Hub (all pools) still haven't upgraded .

Where can I find the current rate of Segwit signalling?

Maybe it´s not a guy but a Coinexchange like Litebit.eu dumping a few of the coins they "bought" in the last days.

Could be, but that kind of dumping is indicative of poor money/trade management and I wouldn't expect companies like Litebit to be guilty of that. But anything is possible. They also have restrictions on much they buy and sell at any one time, which you can get around a bit by storing up credits, but even then the amount of coins "available" to be bought or sold is still no where near the amount necessary to cause them to have to immediately "offload" risk in such drastic fashion. That price action looks very emotional to me . . . anything but professional money management.

Edit: the "pros" were most likely on the buy side.

Its not a whale its litebit who dump dgb. This could be indicative of them being in conspiracy with large segwit manipulator. He/she owns most altcoins including dgb since it has the capability to overtake bitcoin and even apple. 60 million dgb are worth nothing compared to the same quantity of apple shares and this is unfair. Think of this as an investment opportunity of ur life.

Perhaps you're right. It sounds like you know more about it than I do. I'll just say that I've done a fair amount of business with LiteBit and they strike me as being competent, honest, hard working folks. I've never had a problem with them. In fact, the exact opposite: whenever an issue arises, they're on top of things with an almost immediate response. I have nothing but good things to say about them and they've never given me any reason to believe that they'd do anything that wasn't in their best interest, like, say, picking sides with different coins. They're an intermediary and I'd be very surprised if they stepped out of that role, especially if it meant an instant loss of their entire spread made on the amount dumped. But anything's possible.

As for their possibly being involved in a conspiracy with a large SegWit manipulator, again, I don't see them engaging in that type of activity, but if they were to, how would dumping DGB affect SegWit?

60 million dgb are worth nothing compared to the same quantity of apple shares and this is unfair. Think of this as an investment opportunity of ur life.

And therein lies the problem with any cryptocurrency other than BTC. Most people treat it as a speculative investment instead of a currency.

People need to think of it as money, use it to buy/sell items in the mainstream.

As long as people think of it as anything other than money in their pocket to spend on stuff, there will be no progress.
