can the Dev or someone else explain to me how is this coin "pump and dump" proof?
They are referring to the Stability Fund...
That uses 0.5% of the coins or whatever to buy DIG on the open market.
This should vastly increased to 5% or more along with a multipool...
And the DIG should be paid out to everyone... kinda like CLAM is doing.
I think you have lost with a thread. There is no such thing as a stability fund in Digit.
Digit is pump and dump proof simply because how its block reward mechanism is designed. Cant simply buy up the price for enought time in order to create a hype and profit from it. Simply because that would end up with huge block rewards and selling pressure.
In best case you could only create a daily spike in price, but that would be useless since you would not be able to sell your bought DIG with profit. You would likely end up with a loss instead because miners who mined because high profitability would dump the coin for profit immediately and selling pressure would get even bigger.
^^ This is the reason why its rather quiet in this thread. 99.9% of bitcointalk.org users only care for quick profit. And there is no quick profit in this coin.

FAQ #3
What is the total amount of DIG?
Digit proof of work block reward is calculated as follows:
Code:
nSubsidy = falling multiplier * proof of work difficulty * COIN;
The proof of work difficulty can be a minimum of 1 and the multiplier starts from 29.2. After approximately a year (at block 915000) Digit mining will stop.
We are aiming to hit the maximum amount of coins in 10-15 years down the line. 10 Years if the Digit money supply is high and the price of one Digit is low after the mining period. 15 Years, if the Digit money supply is low and the price of one Digit is high after the mining period. 11-14 years, if the Digit money supply and the price of one Digit is neither low or high after the mining period.
Because of Digit’s variable proof of work reward, the amount of maximum coins is impossible to predict at this stage. This is why we will set this goal after Digit mining has ended.

So you are saying this block reward formula makes the coin "pump and dump" proof.
I have to give this some thought, but feel free to explain as opposed to complaining about "get rich quick" or whatever...
very, very few coins from the 2013 crop are doing well... and for the 2014 crop competition is 100 times greater.
