Update June 21, 2017:
We have been after about 15 months of development the new features for DIGI. We developed a multi-algo, example pool, a MPPT emulator and a new version of future (maybe if we decide to rollout it) ecoDIGI - the first ever coin which can be mined only of the eco-energy (water, wind, solar).
Everything is presented on Github - https://github.com/capitalDIGI
In next days we will BURN all pre-mined coins - as you can see we keep what we promised in January 2015 - the pool of 138,000,000 premined coins was dedicated for digital VC features. The market didn't understand it in 2015 and the market didn't accepted it, so the coins were unused. Currently in time of tokens and ICO on Ethereum - there is no sense to keep still the pre-mined coins:

Overview:
DIGI is not a geek coin, this is a laboratory scrypt coin based on Litecoin ready to make some interesting laboratory development.
If you are interested to take part into MOVING DIGI FROM "LABORATORY PHASE" TO THE REAL BETA PHASE - please contact us.
DIGI - a script coin based on Litecoin 0.10.4 (DIGI source on GitHub) which was initially for crowdtrading* (today named ICO) and discounts in the DIGI business framework. It was much premined, but it came from a purpose of overall DIGI 'treasury house' amount designed to fill in the market of crowdtrading on capitaDIGI.com. The premined amount of DIGI was deposited under the cold-hot wallets structure of capitalDIGI.com. As said before -
In next days we will BURN all pre-mined coins - as you can see we keep what we promised in January 2015 - the pool of 138,000,000 premined coins was dedicated for digital VC features. The market didn't understand it in 2015 and the market didn't accepted it, so the coins were unused. Currently in time of tokens and ICO on Ethereum - there is no sense to keep still the pre-mined DIGI coins.
"TRAILER" phase - it was about 30 days since 24th January 2015 to estimate real business approach.
"COMING SOON" phase - it was about 3 months since 20th February 2015 to start proof-of-concept real concrete business approach, you could mine DIGI and use it as a normal script altcoin (like Litecoin, DOGE, Feathercoin) and obviously in capitalDIGI.com for crowdtrading.
* - 'crowdtrading', 'crowdtraded', 'crowdtrade' - a new business class of names to link together {investment into crowdfunded startups on the fiat market} and {the altcoin industry} by the exchange. The author of this ever new term was Mario Spercz (MarioSPGroup here).As said before -
In next days we will BURNT all pre-mined coins - as you can see we keep what we promised in January 2015 - the pool of 138,000,000 premined coins was dedicated for digital VC features. The market didn't understand it in 2015 and the market didn't accepted it, so the coins were unused. Currently in time of tokens and ICO on Ethereum - there is no sense to keep still the pre-mined DIGI coins.
As you can premined coins have been never used to be crowdtraded.
PART 0 - conclusions after TRAILER phase1. DIGI was not often used in TRAILER phase as a profitable mining scrypt coin, profitability was many times better than relevant mining of LTC (as a daily production converted to BTC), but number of active miners has not been growing up significantly during the TRAILER phase. Also we have faced that very profitable mining of this coin isn't a driver to improve a number of DIGI users.
2. Crowdtrading was to be reconfigured during COMING SOON phase as mentioned in below description of "PART 1 - COMING SOON - scope of work"
3. There were many new business approaches which have to be explored during COMING SOON phase.
PART 1 - conclusions after COMING SOON phase0. It was still supporting the mining activity on DIGI .
1. It was not achieved a new UK licensed crowdfunding platform integrated with capitalDIGI.com, where DIGI was planned to be the most important element to execute the whole process.
As a summary of that phase we were not able to get the UK licence to adjust more business adoption of DIGI than only mining.
PART 2 - laboratory phaseWe have been after about 15 months of development the new features for DIGI. We developed a multi-algo, example pool, a MPPT emulator and a new version of future (maybe if we decide to rollout it) ecoDIGI - the first ever coin which can be mined only of the eco-energy (water, wind, solar).

http://5.196.28.91/[OLD - NON ACTUAL CURRENTLY] QUESTIONS ABOUT DIGI:Q: What is the reason for the DIGI step in between? Wouldn't it be easier (and more concentrated) to just buy/sell the stocks for Bitcoin and leave the altcoin business to others?
A: We would like to promote our coin by which we can develop a trusted value of them in a rational way within years. If bitcoin grow up then DIGI will fall in DIGI/BTC by official rate by cancelling of virtualized-shares, if bitcoin falls then DIGI will grow-up by official rate by cancelling of virtualized-shares. For our new business we would like to come from 'white page' as potential 'virgin' coin ready to mine them by everybody who knows that DIGI ever will have value linked to traditional capital market.
Q: Will DIGI a main coin for crowdtrading on capitalDIGI.com?
A: The need of DIGI has got very simple reason (and there is full explanation). Please look at this imagined example - there is a perspective startup with finished crowdfunding ($300.000) where several investors ($45.600) want to convert their shares into crowdtraded units on capitalDIGI.com. They transfer their shares to capitalDIGI.com and they get DIGI coins from the 'DIGI treasury house' for such amount which is equivalent to the current rate of DIGI/BTC and average price on the outside market of USD/BTC. capitalDIGI.com lists their startups by the debut price comply to this $45.600. Everybody on the world having DIGI can buy now this crowdtraded startups (what initial owner can too by deposited DIGI). And the crowdtrading can develop later. Naturally the startup can be removed from the capitalDIGI.com by repayment from capitalDIGI to owners paid in 'public currency' BTC - look into information on capitalDIGI.com please. Following the above process you can see that technically could it be possible by BTC (as at the beginning in capitalDIGI.com), but the main problems are: - to have amount of thousands BTC in the 'treasury house' ready for crowdtrading process, - to define fixed 'cap' of capitalDIGI.com as the market ('treasury house') to enable all participating traders to have profit from deflation (growing amount of crowdtraded companies vide defined and fixed amount of 'treasury house'). Regarding buying BTC to give them recent co-owners of startups for their shares. We are not a VC which would like to invest own money into startups. We are only a platform which offers digital currency as a legal and technical instrument to be listed on the exchange and what isn't possible for any new startup on DAX, AIM, Nasdaq, etc.. Moreover it isn't possible by BTC too (because BTC must be purchased due to astronomic difficulty of mining). We hope you find this explanation as rational solution to open and develop serious DIGI value. We appreciate every suggestion and we are ready for discussion which we open.
Q: People will think that we want to buy company shares for nothing because we have all the premined DIGI?
A: The dilemma of startup's shareholders isn't a problem for altcoin community. If DIGI contracts with shareholders that they (not altcoin community) change their shares into DIGI, then the whole altcoin community which mines DIGI should be happy due to the fact they can immediately buy these shares for the mined DIGI. There will be naturally our business advantage on the market if we can contract agreements for such transformations - from shares to crowdtraded units and DIGI.
Q: At what point does the startup get the money and how do you set the price at which you sell the stocks? I'm not sure anybody will be willing to buy DIGIs for BTC if you have millions of them premined, even if that allows to buy stocks.
A: DIGI - this coin is a token of crowdtrading (a second step) what isn't crowdfunding (a first step made outside of capitalDIGI). capitalDIGI is only a platform to list the startups and to trade their crowdtraded shares. So it is a platform to trade, not fundraising startups. About the price - please go to our website link of any example stock currency which we present in capitalDIGI.com (for example dSTAMPLAY). You will be on seedrs.com website where the price is calculated in GBP. We are converting it by debut into BTC/DIGI using current BTC/GBP and DIGI/BTC. We understand that people don't like to buy DIGI to save it in private house wallets for long time. But no everybody can mine altcoins (remember please that this service links people from cryptocurrencies industry and typical traditional capital market investors). But if anyone doesn't have DIGI (because he can't mine it) then he can buy DIGI and in a moment to buy a stock currency. This is what uses UK legal framework to enable people from traditional capital market to trade shares in startups online without FCA regulations and brokerage house license. This is a solution to link two worlds together - crypto- and fiat- capital investments, so it is compromise between habits of both worlds. We understand that no everybody will like it (especially a strong fan of only one of these two worlds), as it is typically by compromises. But if people from traditional capital investment go to this compromise then we will have something new in business economy and a lot of new money in cryptocurrency business from traditional capital markets.
DO STARTUPS GET ANY FIAT MONEY AT ALL FROM YOU? From DIGI Fund (not from capitalDIGI.com) at the crowdfunding stage. Imagine situation that a startup comes to us and request a) investment b) trading online. So we request them to prepare crowdfunding proposal - in the largest systems like on seedrs.com, crowdcube.com or in our beginning crowdondigi.com. After starting their crowdfunding campaign if there people invest their money into the startup then we (DIGI Fund) will do it same. So investment is during the stage no.1. If this startup contracts with us earlier that they interest for stage no.2 then we will have agreement how many shares and whose shares will be crowdtraded.
WHAT IS THE INCENTIVE FOR A COMPANY TO GET LISTED ON CAPITALDIGI? If any company wants to be listed publicly soon and isn't able to meet requirements of DAX, AIM and Nasdaq then our platform is ready for them. Public listed company is more valueable than a full-private company. So the desire comes from startups and I know many startups around the world who are ready to be a part of British innovative companies movement and be listed there for British investors.
OTHER NEW ALTCOINS? capitaDIGI.com will issue more new altcoins than DIGI, because of there are two types of methods (products) to be crowdtraded on capitalDIGI.com:
- Standard (no-additional cost) via token listed on capitalDIGI.com - a script currency
- Premium (a special cost of development and maintenance) for all altcoin fans and there investors who want to have it as a new altcoin.
