There are lots of coins using pure PoS right now.  Like NAUT, Dark and quite a few other alts which used an ultra short PoW phase.

I'm not opposed to POS as such, but I'd rather it was a POS/POW model. 
Are there any successful pure POS models out there?  Seen MINT and ECC lately? Me either.
I do think that lowering the block reward is crap.  It didn't work out last time we did it. 
It will just make me mine other coins to buy more dgc.(like it did last time)
Eventually one of those other coins may steal me away.

That are some good points to think about.

Introducing POS may be a solution to keep people from directly dumping their coins after they've mined them. About which disadvantages of POS are you talking about? I don't have any technologic knowledge about the codes of a coin, but is that going to cause problems?

The multiple algos idea is indeed interesting, but we won't be able to use Scrypt ASICs anymore to reinstate / save the network. And I think the GPU mining era almost has ended..

I'm sure some people over here really want DGC to survive. My Scrypt ASICs are still in production though, but somehow it should be profitable for anyone to mine DGC / save the network. I think very few people are willing to spend their hashpower on DGC when they can make a high-XX% more profit on other coins / multipools.  Hopefully anyone will atleast spend a bit of their hashrate on DGC.   

More brainstorming:

Problem: We need more loyal miners who save DGC instead of selling it right away to the market and protect the network at the same time.
Unfortunately, it's a chicken or egg situation.

1. How how do we attract miners? Will decreasing the block reward attract more or fewer miners? Are there other ways to attract miners?

Some would argue that scarcity is a way to stabilize the price and make DGC more valuable, so it will be be more attractive to mine again. This, however, has NOT worked when the block reward was decreased once before. PoS is one way to attract miners as they earn interest. There are a few PoS coins that have kept their value far better than DGC (like PPC, NovaCoin, others), but I understand it's challenging to switch to PoS, and there may be other disadvantages, too.

2. How can we convince miners to save coins instead of selling under value/ for a lower and lower value via multipools?

Miners need to be able to spend the coins (virtual goods and services / real world products) and believe they will be worth more in the future/ will be harder to mine. DGC has a lot of the infrastructure for merchants in place but insufficient popularity.

Multipools are still a problem and DGC hasn't adopted KGW yet.

3. The multiple algos idea is interesting, but probably too difficult to implement on a short term basis.

4. Merge-mining sounds like the last option to me in order to save the network. Even a lot of loyal DGC supporters still haven't invested in scrypt Asic miners. This may still change in the next couple of weeks/months.

I agree, the time for change is right now.

There are guys waiting to do the dev work.

Changing the block reward / block time is a small job from what I understand, any other changes are more complex but there's people willing to do it and they're ready to go right now.

All we need is a decision.

Inflation and dilution right now are way too high for Digi.  They should pull the trigger and do something NOW.

Don't get caught like this when the next boom comes in the next 1-2 months.  Be prepared. 

There's been some talk about making some changes. Merge mining, changing the algorithm, going to multi algorithms, POS, lowered block rewards, and other things. I'd love to hear some suggestions regarding if there should be changes, and if so, what changes would folks like to see.

I respect your opinions disclaimer201. Personally I own both HBN and DGC...

Great. I'll still stick with DGC and very few other usual suspects. The rest isn't worth my time.

Another quick question: Does any of you guys still use BTC-e at all? Any chances of getting DGC added to the Russian manipulator's exchange? Perhaps this is what DGC has been missing so far. Failed to attract huge speculators/manipulators.

Agree. HOBO is one of the best POS coin.

Indeed HBN is a solid coin with a dedicated dev also.

How will capping the DGC supply change the current price or benefit DGC? Most alts are in the hole, the alternative crypto coin crash of 2014.

Once BTC goes back to 800+ USD the good alt coins will rise from their hibernating state of existence.

If anything is changed within the DCG code it should be forked into POS, if that is possible? People like coins that grow, gain interest.

Hobonickels is a good coin.  I can't say the same for some of the others.

Taking the fact that Hobonickels, WankCoin and dozens of other strange coins are worth more than DGC I actually agree with radically reducing the overall number of minted coins. I wouldn't even mind reducing the total number to the LTC amount.
