With so many new coins being released, and people moving from coin to coin like a mob, what do you think is the best way for DigiByte to break away from the pack?
We feel that focusing on getting DigiPay up and running and a few big merchants accepting DigiByte is what will allow for this to happen. What are your thoughts?
Digibyte can maybe tap into the Chinese market perhaps try and get onto bter.com exchange This would be nice move. It would be like getting onto Cryptsy... This is a good point, promoting DigiByte into the Chinese market would be a great step. The first thing we need to get figured out is exactly how to translate "DigiByte" into Chinese. We have had several people tell us how to translate it or how they translated it but it has received different Chinese names from different people. This obviously can cause problems. We don't know who to listen to on this as people are obviously translating it to what they think the name should be. Are there any reputable sources that might help with this and would understand exactly what we are trying to accomplish?

A few things: 1.Fiat/DGB direct exchange which allows credit cards, ACH, wires, etc as forms of payment. Also, have a reasonable withdrawal / deposit amount of funds. 2.Merchant acceptance. Will need someone large -- Overstock, Amazon, Ebay that can make a press release and have the masses see why its secure and easy/ 3.Media - Need to get more of the larger media outlets to constantly put DGB in front of consumer's eyes. Thanks, YC With so many new coins being released, and people moving from coin to coin like a mob, what do you think is the best way for DigiByte to break away from the pack?

We very much agree YC and this is the focus of what we will be trying to accomplish with the NY crypto convention. Making connections to help make this a reality.

We where told once before we could not use "Digi" because it translated to the same thing as "Digital" and was already taken by DigitalCoin. Since we do not speak Chinese we have no way to confirm this.

If you were to implement x11, consider me on board.
There other hash solutions out there the best known of these being Scrypt-Jane and Adaptive-N which for the most part are the same. They both use a variable N factor which is locked to 2^10 in Scrypt. This is the memory requirement, 2^10 works out to 1024 bytes. Vertcoin a very popular Adaptive-N coin currently uses an N factor of 2^11 which works out to 2048 bytes, every time the N factor goes up the performance of miners drops by half. Vertcoin currently has half the performance of Scrypt and has a maximum N of 2^32 which works out to 4GB, most graphic cards cannot even do work at that level and with the current hash rate the difficulty of Vertcoin could not go low enough to support that level of N. Scrypt-Jane and Adaptive-N may be ASIC hostile but they are also GPU hostile.
X11 uses 11 well known and high performing hashing solutions chained together to generate the hashes required to generate new blocks. Since it uses 11 different hashes it is complex and unlikely to see a ASIC for it any time soon. The good news for miners is that they can use X11 right now to avoid multipools and start gathering coins that are going to become very important when the Scrypt ASICs hit. Mining X11 gives 3-4 times the hash power of Scrypt, uses less energy and generates even less heat.
This is the solution that people have been looking for.

Thank you for posting this feedback. Which specific coins are currently using X11? I would like to run some of my own hardware tests for comparison to see exactly how it performs.

First of all, great effort and i love your dedication. But i don't think this is a "professional" video. I thought digibyte wanted something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo&list=PLOBMT9KFLoap5AHR-wdSM6S7Ub1_lQbTxIt's completely animated and u need somebody that is specialized on that. I've spoken to a couple of animators and they say it's about one week's work to make this. Too bad that those animators i know don't care much for cryptocurrency, so they are not willing to make it cause it's a lot of work ( i begged them . Maybe someone knows an animator who loves cryptocurrency and is willing to help? But in this video there are some parts that can be used for the more professional one, so it's very usefull. And in the video there's no digiman, i think he must be in it too. Also, when u export the movie check your audio settings, cause i heard the original mp3 and it's much clearer then the one in your video. I'll be made that. but what you said, It's cost a lot of time. I'm now looking for kinemac the things you can do with that is a lot of more and works easier but the video is always worster than from the bitcoin.. and for anybody who will know it. I works 12 hours of this video. I've try to add digiman in version 1.0.2 but the movie don't looks prettier than.

Thank you for posting this feedback. Which specific coins are currently using X11? I would like to run some of my own hardware tests for comparison to see exactly how it performs. Right now i relatively positive that only DARKcoin and HIROcoin have implemented the x11 ALGO. Some quick specifications .. 1 r9 270 can run at about 1.2-1.5 M/Hash .. ( This is more or less irrelevant, as everybody gets an equal increase ) You will experience about 30-40 % less power draw. Measure it. I did. You will no longer hear your GPU's sound like they are about to take off into the atmosphoere. My r9 290's used to sound like a blow dryer or vacuum cleaner.. Audible even with the door closed from across the hallway... Now with x11, I can't hear my r9 290's at all. They aren't silent, but they aren't about to explode. Expect GPU temperatures to be much lower, and thus, save lots of money on air conditioning in the summer. -- I know a few miners who had planned to shut down during the summer, but instead will solely mine x11 during the summer. Come join hiro.suprnova.cc for a round or two just to see how your GPU's perform... HIRO is pretty unprofitable to mine i think, but just try it. Use sph SGMiner .. Or the darkcoin miner .. just append -kernel darkcoin to your .bat file to tell it your mining x11

We are preparing some images to send to you that we think may help improve it at certain points in the video. The flow of the video is logical and is a good start. Since you have have stepped up to the plate and produced a video for DigiByte we definitely want to give you some more feedback and hopefully we can get to where we need to be with the video. Thanks again and we will be PMing you by tomorrow with more details. We need some time to prepare and figure out exactly which images we can use and where to use them. We just sent some DGB your way for your efforts and there will definitely be more if we can work together and pull this off! Thanks again! Your energy & enthusiasm is much appreciated!
