Congrats on being a future dad! The gaming community is massive and their loyalty is like no other. If we can get them to support DGB, it would be huge!

HR, so glad you remembered my suggestion =), im honored.  I feel that once we get the tip bits fixed we should really start hitting Twitch and the League of Legends communities.  I used to be really heavy into those communities but I am going to be a dad at the end of the year so I have been pulling away from the gaming world.  Ideally I would be streaming and play a DGB promo video to my followers for commercials.  There are MILLIONS of people that watch twitch steams every night, if we can start targeting that would greatly increase our exposure and it would be targeting people that could use their current hardware to mine. 

These gaming communities already have high end cards and are equipped to run algos like qubit and groestl.  Especially with how NVIDIA has caught up to AMD in the mining world I feel like everyone could mine with the hardware they have. 

I am excited that there is already a hard core gamer on board.  Hopefully they will be an entry point for people to get into the crypto world. 


Do we have a list of games that we want to go after for using DGB as an in-game currency?  Would the game itself accept DGB or would the DGB exchange allow users to convert DGB to the games currency.  For example, league of legends has RIOT Points ( RP ).  Would there been an exchange that would convert DGB to USD to RP or would the game native accept DGB?

The science behind a video that goes viral is a pretty complicated one. Kudos if someone manages to make one, but don't think it's easy.

The ice bucket challenge, for example, uses the "challenge" to give a chance for people to show off, and the charity thing is actually an excuse. The gangnam style or all other "silly" stuff that go viral have often uses the meme mechanism (see dogecoin, as a semisuccessful example thereof).

I mean, go for it, but don't expect great results.

Guys, maybe getting something viral. Easy, cheap and effective.

Maybe start a youtube channel called 'I want Digibyte' where people do a short video of themselves saying "I want Digibyte" doing something funny, silly or just weird and people send them Digibyte via their digibyte address if they like it?

Besides, people are the most powerful tool.

Look at the ice bucket challenge....

Speaking of which, myriad dudes just started to work on "myriadparty", a counterparty clone, any chances of something like that being implemented on digibyte? maybe, since forks are still possible, something more organic than a meta-protocol?

Need to know the price for advertising.

Make a tutorial how to mine Digibyte,   A 2 click miner/wallet would make it really easy!     (like the aidbit wallet, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annaid-aidbit-digital-currency-redefined-powpos-groestl-charity-683317 )

Make the video and advertise.


To promote:
Give free Digibyte to the first +/- 200 users when they download the wallet/miner.  
Get a game tournament going,  Prices could be something like Digibytes,mining/game gear.




Get a exchange backed by Digibyte to buy in-game goodies with discount like armor etc

Haha nice!  Good project!

That's a coincedence lol, I know the guy from the 6th vid example ("Pushing Up Daisy"), Boris Acket. And old acquaintance. Small world!

Yes not to bad. So how we get this thing rolling?

A friend of my could make a good video for a low price.

Some of is work: http://vimeo.com/thebache/videos

Another Advertiser you may can try out!

Maybe for promoting Giveaway to get more new users involved etc.

It would be cool if you can use DGB for in game micro transactions. Like armor parts and stuff.

Especially those who are really into those addictive online games would be using DGB, and mostly Asians, specifically Koreans...

That would be awesome!
Twitch is big.

Advertising here : http://twitchadvertising.tv/ with a small video clip!

I've mentioned a campaign to promote the purchase of DGB with fiat currencies before on this thread: Buy 10 get 1 free for the purchase of DGB with fiat, with a 100,000 min. DGB purchase and a 1 million cap. 24hralttrade has contacted LiteBit.eu and LitePaid and got what I consider to be a very favorable response. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9133882

The social network tipping has proven to be interesting, and I've suggested we combine that with a "register and post" on www.DigiByteTalk.com promotion.

But my favorite idea right now, beyond what we're already doing and what's already in the works, is targeting gamers. Kayahoga got me going on that one, and I can't seem to get it out of my mind: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268.msg7962691;topicseen#msg7962691 That's a huge 'market' of potential users who are already 'set up' and only need the miner and BAT file to get going.

How do we effectively reach them?

HR,

Good to hear some analysis around this. What types of recommendations do you have for marketing outside the forums and communities? What can we do mainstream to get DGB on the map?

I sometimes wonder about our ability to see beyond the ends of our noses when I hear people talking about cryptocurrency “inflation”. Okay, I get the point when comparing with other cryptos, but isn’t that a bit shortsighted?

With developed nations’ total aggregate money supply being somewhere between 50 and 75 trillion USD equivalent, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect a large enough demand in cryptocurrencies to support at least a 5 trillion of USD equivalent money supply in cryptocurrencies?

If we had a 5 trillion total USD equivalent of cryptocurrency money supply, and assigned a generous total of 50 cryptocurrency survivors to our equation, each of the 50 survivors would have a proportionate 100 billion USD equivalent money supply, an amount which in each individual case would hardly even begin to compete with the 50-75 trillion of total fiat supply and ITS inflation!

In the case of BTC, a 100 billion USD total capitalization would equate to a price of $4,761.90 USD.

MEC would be valued at $2,380.96, LTC at $1,190.48, HBN at $833.34, DGC at $500, QRK at $404.86, EAC at $7.41, DGB at $4.77, and DOGE at $1.00, for example.

While we could argue all day long about whether or not Hobonickels will be one of the eventual survivors, what I’m sure we can all agree on is that there will be someone who takes the place of Hobonickels if it doesn’t survive, and if not (let’s say there are only 30 eventual survivors, or 20, or 10), then the eventual total money supply would be even smaller that the original 5 trillion conservative figure.

The key question that I think one has to ask is if you think BTC could possibly trade in the $5,000 dollar range, and then, depending on how you view that, you could move on towards analyzing other coins like MEC (could that coin really survive much less trade at $2,380.96?), or EAC (currently trading between 2 and 3 satoshi – what’s the story there? already ruled out as a potential survivor?), or DGB.

If cryptocurrencies ever do claim their place in the sun, I think a modest 7.5 - 10% or so of developed economies’ real aggregate M2 money supply is a reasonable figure with which to begin eventual baseline valuations.

And don’t forget that the fiats will continue with rampant inflation and that figure of 7.5 - 10% or so will also adjust upwards accordingly as those fiats continue to devalue.

I have to bite my tongue in order not to laugh when I hear people using the inflation word with regards to cryptocurrencies, when in fact it doesn’t even begin to compare with the fiat equivalents, that we should really be comparing with.

And having done that, we’d be able to move on to the next step and ask:

- Why is DOGE valued around 30 times more then EAC when it has more than 7 times the eventual money supply of EAC?
or
- Why is BTC valued around 1 million times more than CGB when it has 21 times the eventual money supply of CGB?

The answer to those questions is what should lead to what I consider to be priority number 1 for DGB at this time. The technical aspects are a done deal, and what we need to do now is gain mass acceptance, starting with the widest possible distributed initial user base as possible. We have a finished product for all intents and purposes (of course, there will be updates, but the core product is not going to change), and it’s time to start marketing and selling it.
