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

Also the quoting has gotten a little ridiculous there...
Anyways, I'll be watching and waiting for some more people's opinion on the matter

DGB does have a pretty vocal community, afterall.
In fact, I remember someone posting about Kimoto a long while back in this thread. Like page 120 or so?
Becomes a big topic for DGB now, huh

Honestly, the re-target time isn't bad at all on DigiByte.  We haven't experienced anything even remotely as serious from the multi-pools as some of the other coins.  Not even close.  There are coins that have literally faced the die or change re-target time wall.

I too am all for implementing the gravity well, but see no need to lower the block reward. The goal is, after all, to increase the difficulty but to do it in a sustainable manner, slowly building over time. Lowering the reward may well drive away a portion of the network we are trying so hard to build up. 

The gravity well should have no effect on price but lowering the reward would put the markets into a state of flux, which is not a good idea in my opinion. So saying, if enough people see Kimoto as the primary means of preserving Digibyte's future then we should see a small but significant price rise upon implementation.

I don't see how it would drive people away. If anything, people who have been mining since the beginning would be ecstatic that their coins are worth that much (And hopefully not dump them... That would be an issue) and most likely continue to mine DGB if they can keep their profits near the same as before the reward reworking. I also don't see how it would keep people away from DGB. They would look at DGB and check it's profitability, then if it works for them, they'd mine it.

The only problem would be if the price didn't scale with the reward change.

If the reward were to be changed, it should be changed before we hit cryptsy. Once DGB gets listed, it should receive some more mining attention!

Or it could just be ignored, but I don't think that will happen... Or hope at least

Everyone seems to be asking for Kimoto and the rest of the cryptos are implementing it, so I think it's a necessary evolution in DGB  
Perhaps it's a necessary innovation in crypto. Multipools seem to be fairly disliked among a lot of people (Specifically miners who get affected by difficulty hikes)

Anyways, I have very high hopes for this coin, and will be sticking around for the long run, and I know most of you will be too  

What I meant was that it depends on the price increase, sorry I didn't explain that clearly. If the price doesn't rise in line with the drop in reward then miners may leave for another coin. If it rises in alignment with the drop in reward then it basically achieves nothing in my opinion, but it would reward early adopters for sure. But you are certainly right that some loyal miners will stick around no matter what.

Honestly, the re-target time isn't bad at all on DigiByte.  We haven't experienced anything even remotely as serious from the multi-pools as some of the other coins.  Not even close.  There are coins that have literally faced the die or change re-target time wall.

Sure, it's not as bad as others, but it's far from ideal. Like most of the people here I have the desire to pay off the cost of my mining equipment (apologies my interest in Digibyte isn't 100% altruistic lol). Both yesterday & today (a few hours ago) we got hit & it's really biting into mining rewards.  With the retarget due in 2 blocks now just watch how long the network takes to go from current 266MHs to over 3 GHs :/   That we ever got so low as 266MHs is surely an indication that some action is needed?

Edit: such large variations in network hash also open us up to 51% vulnerability. smalltimeminers went from approx 5% of the network to currently 30% in just a couple of hours. I think it's in the interest of long term viability that network power is stabilized via Kimoto.

i don't think decreasing block reward drive more hash to our network or help increasing the DGB price at all after today's BTC crash.people is waiting to get a chance to dump theyr coins for BTC sell it and wait another crash! its what the market is waiting for... another BTC crash to buy even cheaper! what appears to be is that BTC has low volume and a lot of FUD around this week, time to get things done into DGB code while BTC stabilize its price.

We agree that the difficulty re-target can be improved upon. We are researching the best way to do this in order to help maintain a healthy hash rate.

+1

Pretty good point there.
After thinking for a little bit about it, I'd like to say that I'd agree that rewards should stay the same.
I still can't believe how hard BTC and MTGOX crashed, though. Nuts.

Yeah, and we definitely don't want to die from something like that. Err, die from anything actually.

no, you're not. you're a multipool driving up difficulty & then coin hopping. Pools like you are the reason the past few pages are all about Kimoto gravity well. Thx for all the thread spam though.

Keeps the thread up on the first page, right?

to be honest I could do w/out all the pool spam. Or they could do it in a much less obtrusive manner in 5 lines or less.

I do my best not to spam my pool, and certainly not with images and such.  although I have mentioned it from time to time >.<

indeed. to your credit they are so unobtrusive that I can't recall having seen an ad for your pool.  appreciate your understanding

ok i found something interesting guys!

when you type in google's search bar:
'digibyte ann'
it finds you only the spanish thread!

when the words are the other way around:
'ann digibyte'
it finds you only the english thread!


weird?
it doesnt help us when people search it and always find the spanish thread, like i did.
altho you have a link on the first page of the thread to here.
which is what i did EVERYTIME 


cheers,
dgb is l337 ;]

Over thinking things?  Just type "DigiByte" this thread is like the second result for me, right behind the homepage

That's because you are searching it a lot and have visited it many times. Google remembers your choices, and shows results that are suited to you.

New users will probably have different results in search page, and Nikster is correct - devs sholud work a bit on SEO

I did a quick search on a clean system & the Cryptsy "please add Digibyte" thread came up 4th behind the website & reddit lol

If nothing else it shows how much people are pushing DGB on that support thread
