All of you folks are doing some great stuff! Appreciate all your time, efforts and even analysis (HR) that you have provided to increase the long term health of DGB. We'll just need to realize that all of it can't be done at one time, but step by step. We will focus on eating the elephant one piece at a time!

No problem, I'll post the link here, even if you reach when it's no longer on the hot page you can always participate. I hope ddcoin and the others are on too! and everybody whio wishes to contribuite, even just with a greeting is welcome btw!

Busy day today, Online tomorrow
Will keep looking

the giveaway is up in ~half an hour, stay tuned!

@suchpotato,   Give away is a GO?

Very interesting stuff about putting your ID on your DGB. I'm all ears. But what about those who don't do the same? And the thief who hacks your wallet and steals your DGB? We still wouldn't have a 'paper trail' to follow those funds. We don't have that kind of problem with money in our savings accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds and other financial instruments. A digital currency needs to provide the same guarantees if it truly wants to gain "alternative" status.

When the winners finally progress beyond virtual play money status and really turn into viable alternatives, the IRS will make sure this is done. Make no mistake about it. What's more, the winning cryptos will be those that get out in front of the curve, actively seek legal advice on the matter, and even work in conjunction with governmental agencies to find the best way to implement the real accountability that 'legal tender' requires.

And just imagine the technical nightmare that this kind of eventual regulation will create for the unprepared coins, especially for those with sizeable block chains and large distributed networks (another reason to get out in front of the curve early on).

I contacted https://coingateway.net to add Digibyte for there payment platform.

"CoinGateway acts as a bridge to enable you to purchase merchandise from retailers who accept only Bitcoin, with our range of supported alternate coins! Choose the coin you would like to spend, then simply enter the recipients Bitcoin address and desired amount and click "Pay Now". We also support a multi Crypto exchange platform where you can cross trade any coin listed in."

The looked at Digibyte and willing to add it but there is a fee to pay.

"Our requirement list is very simple, we require a coin to be listed at a reputable exchange e.g. Cryptsy, Bittrex, (Mintpal is Recommended), have a reasonable amount of volume and have a good user base. Finally we require a listing fee between 2 - 5 BTC (Low Risk - Medium Risk - High Risk) depending on the requirements."

After i contacted them they told me the fee to add Digibyte is 2 BTC.

@Digibyte,  I think this will help getting Digibyte to the mainstream. I like it, what do you guys think about it? and community?

Is there any funds to support this?

Actually the person who wants to own DGB AND SPEND THEM must register on a website that is a government base website, once registration is done you can enter your UNIQUE ID (maybe a combination of important IDs of the person etc...), then you will be able to create a DGB ADDRESS and that address will be registered on your name.

I think this way, we can publicly show the ID NUMBERS of the person and the government can check on the suspentable events easily... If anybody wants, i can create a complete operational scheme as a software eng.

Very good point. Thank you.



Yes, the more the transparency the better.

I like to say that my DGB is my DBG and I want my name on it! (A simple DGB address is not enough - I want my name next to my transactions in the block chain!)



Now you're talking! (That's rhetoric that's not meant to imply you haven't been doing that already.)

If you're doing the right things, the future (hint, price) will take care of itself.

Because its stuck and going nowhere. Only a few with big miners are sucking all and dumping. Merge mining will spread it out and may result in less selling. More the distribution better is it for any coin.

Exactly. All I am saying is how can we take feedback like this and address it with DGB. Obviously, we are not using anonymity, but any further enhancements could bode well when DGB picks up a lot of commercial adoption.

As for the price, we have given up on making predictions. We are focusing on building a very solid, reliable base to build the future of DigiByte upon! We have a very good feeling about where DigiByte is headed over the next six months!

Bitcoin Could Transform Internet of Things into Vast Data Marketplace
Joon Ian Wong (@joonian) | Published on October 3, 2014 at 16:31 BST

As sportswear giant Nike expands its wearable technology applications, it will need more data to feed its gadgets and software.

To do that will be a simple matter in the future. A Nike executive will simply pull up a list of sensors operated by a private weather station, selecting the ones from which she would like to buy data.

With a click, the executive will pay individual sensors – perhaps thermostats mounted in a Central Park pathway particularly favoured by joggers – for their data, using bitcoin.

The weather sensors will be just one part of a future market filled with data collected by machines on the ‘Internet of Things’. The only difference would be that humans will now be able to pay the machines directly for their work, in bitcoin.

Turning sensors into data-hawkers

That’s the scenario described in a new paper by two researchers in Switzerland, titled, When Your Sensor Earns Money: Exchanging Data for Cash with Bitcoin. The paper was presented at UbiComp, an annual conference on ‘ubiquitous and pervasive’ computing organised by the Association for Computing Machinery. The event was held in Seattle last month.

The paper sketches a theoretical framework for sensors to interact with the bitcoin block chain and to receive payments in exchange for their data. This would solve the current problem of growing but silo-ed sensor networks whose owners have no incentive to share their data, the paper says. The authors write:

“There is no way for third parties to leverage today’s sensor deployments considerably. [...] Attaching a bitcoin address to a sensor could empower the sensor immediately to take part in a worldwide data market.”

The paper’s authors are Dominic Wörner and Thomas von Bomhard, researchers at the Bosch Internet of Things and Services Lab at the University of St. Gallen.

Helping sensors get paid

The authors describe a framework consisting of software for the sensor and the human data customer, the bitcoin network and a sensor repository that would list all sensors who wish to sell their data and their bitcoin wallet addresses.

A data buyer would check the sensor repository to browse the available data. Once a piece of data has been selected, she would send bitcoin to that sensor’s wallet.

When the sensor has received payment, it would send the data to the buyer over the bitcoin network using the OP_RETURN field. The data would be written to OP_RETURN and included in the block chain.

The authors say this is a framework for ‘sensing-as-a-service’, a play on the popular software-as-a-service model deployed by firms like Salesforce.com.

They point out that their current framework has several problems, including bloating the block chain with sold data and leaving the data open to free-riding because it’s publicly viewable on the block chain.

Still, they remain optimistic about the chances for a “world-wide data market”, concluding:

“We expect it is only a matter of time until machines not only exchange data but also money. This opens up a whole new dimension for ubiquitous computing.”

Bosch, an engineering and electronics conglomerate headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany,  is not the only corporation looking at bitcoin and the Internet of Things. Technology giant IBM revealed last month that it too is developing an open-source platform called Adept that will use block chain technology.
