Great developments happening here. Good job everyone. Congrats DGB once again!

I've got some third party initiative to throw into the mix that hopefully will be met with approval and live up to it's potential:


Since I am convinced that one of the best ways to help an established digital currency gain wide scale adoption is by educating on the subject, and since educating can only be done with reliable and dependable information that is easily and freely accessible, I have made the decision to do my small part in that effort by creating a comprehensive consolidated knowledge base on the subject that’s available to anyone wishing to learn more on the subject.

Now, that is not only a mouthful to say, it is also a very ambitious undertaking! One doesn’t build a comprehensive consolidated KB overnight! Nevertheless, the daunting nature of the endeavor should not discourage one from accepting the challenge – quite the contrary: it should be wholeheartedly embraced, especially when the cause is so important.

People who are new to digital currencies are equally daunted when trying to understand even the basics of the concept, let alone how you go about actually buying, or mining, or both, and then storing their digital currency. Just getting them to understand and accept the intangible nature of digital currencies is a major undertaking.

If we who are experts on the subject were to shy away from the challenge of helping them to learn, then we would be doing no more than contributing to the eventual future failure of digital currencies themselves. It’s understandable if someone who has no stake what-so-ever remains skeptical and asks us to come back another day, but it’s quite another for those of us who are already digital currency owners to shrink at the effort of better explaining what digital currencies are and what they have to offer. Make no mistake about it, this is no altruistic effort to help others by any means: this is a selfish effort to promote something we already believe in but that the majority still sees as pie-in-the-sky. Make no mistake about it, we owe it to ourselves to take on the challenge of helping newcomers to understand and participate since there is no better way of taking digital currencies to the next level – mainstream – and creating value in our investments as price rises as a result.

I firmly believe that “priority number one” right now needs to be the gathering together of all pertinent information on the subject and its urgent dissemination. It’s a task that will take hundreds (if not thousands) of man hours, and one that I dearly hope to have your collaboration with. That having been said, I don’t expect miracles even with all your help. As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, but if we make a consistent and prolonged effort, over time, little by little, I’m confident that the job can be done.

In summarizing, one extremely important “missing” element in the digital currency world is a consolidated information source freely open to the public that empowers newcomers with the information necessary to “take a leap of faith” and get involved. In my opinion, the resulting benefits of this kind of resource to the digital currency world would be gigantic, and, of course, it’s not only the newcomers who benefit, but all of us as we each successfully contribute our own small part, in each of our areas of expertise, towards the mass adoption of our own investments – we all gain in the process, there is no doubt about it.

With that in mind, I invite everyone to contribute what you can. No contribution is too small. No contribution is insignificant. Everyone, and everything, counts.

As I said above, I have made the decision to do what I can to help make digital currencies, in this case DGB, more easily understood to the general public, and that has taken on life in the form of a “barebones” forum and FAQ that I hope will serve as the foundation from which to start building. I would very much appreciate all your input and help . . . I’d probably be better advised to put that in plural: WE would ALL very much appreciate your input and help! Again, it’s in all of our interests to do so.

Hope your presence and impact is felt over there just like it is here, and many hearty thanks in advance.

We are thinking of adding:

How do I start with DigiByte?
1) Educated yourself
2) Download a wallet
3) Get some digis

faucet might be an idea.

Something else I've been wondering about was the creation of a DigiByte Vanity Address Generator.  I've used a Bitcoin one before, and it was similar to mining, and fairly time consuming, but it's cool being able to have a DigiByte receiving address that has your name in it.  Something like DigiAlex1nGTsd5674....

Perhaps this is irrelevant now with QR codes, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would waste some processing time or pay some DigiBytes to have a cool primary receiving address.



Did this a while ago.

I havent 100% tested it though but I see no reason why it wouldn't import.

Not sure if anyone else thinks this is a good idea? I thought it may be nice to add the code used to put the official DigiByte signature into your own to the OP.  Maybe under a "Spread the word, add DigiByte to your signature" section near the bottom.

The code was on page 789 for anyone else looking.

This is a good idea! Does anyone have any information on some opensource software behind this?


Can we get Digibyte added to https://poloniex.com/ ? I think this would be good for everyone.

The future is bright with DigiByte.

Have been very busy for a few days already, along with realizing BCT was down.

A lot of happened here in just 1 day, gosh Smiley

These kind of works will gather newbies here everyday!
Simple but effective, that is what we need!

Thank you 24, Best.

Also congratulations for the app store update, Jared! Perfect job!

Lookin' good. I'll mention some suggestions to polish it a bit once you've posted it in the wallet install for Windows thread. Very nice. (I'll get you some Linux screen shots sometime soon if someone else doesn't beat me to it.)
Thnx HR, looking forward to your feedback.
I did post it on the forum but it needed to be checked by a admin.

Okay.

Nice work on the YouTube video on How to install the wallet.

My only suggestion would be to get rid of the music, as I find it a bit distracting.

Also, and I may be wrong about this, but I don't think you need to backup the wallet after every transaction.  It's only necessary to back it up again after adding addresses.

Great to see all the new announcements and participation from the community!

Thanks for the feedback, I deleted the music and adjusted the backup line.
