DigiByte? Yes!

Greetings,

Can someone tell me if I can try to mine some DGB (as a noob test with my regular PC) with my geforce GTX 660 please ?

I've checked the help page of Bonesoul's pool but it seems I can't but I'm not sure.

and if possible I'm looking for a miner without a virus detected with it by my antivirus.

Thanks for your help

You'll need to use cudaminer since you are using nvidia GPU. Here's cudaminer info: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229

For a GTX 660, depending on the card version and miner settings, you'll get about 120-220 kh/s, which probably isn't even enough to cover the electricity costs of running the card. You can see a hardware comparison here: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison (I know it says litecoin, but it's the same for all scrypt mining). When I first started mining, I put cudaminer on my old computer that has a geforce 8600 gts. It took a little bit of tinkering, but it finally worked (very slow, I think it was 8 kh/s) I didn't run it for long, but at least I knew it worked.

Many virus scanners will flag mining software as a virus, even though it isn't. I think this is because some old virus/trojan/worm/whatever used to stealth-load the mining software on people's computers and use them as a botnet miner. The software itself isn't a problem.

Agreed. Definitely need more information on the main page to provide unique benefits, any newsworthy items, etc to differentiate. It's what folks read immediately to make an assessment.

It reads as interested people are loosing their interest when they see OP   Shocked
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/inviting-doge-naut-and-ltc-communities-to-join-digibyte-746983

In fact, other coins have much more information on their OP. I suggest to add all infos about Digishield, Multi-Algo and the road-map in to the OP. At least a conclusion of each with a link to the appropriate site on....oh, wait - what's the URL of Digibyte website again? Can't find it. Maybe linking the big graphic to it? Wink
Also, OP is still missing the latest block explorers, pools and exchanges. Just a hint Smiley

Hello can someone answer this please?


Hello

Can someone please explain the block reward schedule before and after the fork?

I see the ANN page mentions 8k / block but I see many early blocks rewarding 72 000? thats 9 times as many coins

what am I missing?

There was a 0.5% premine, I would assume that the first 1439 blocks were set to a payout of 72000 for the premine. (I couldn't find any explanation for this, but it seems the most likely reason)

The first three days of the launch were set to 16000 coins per block. (I found this information in the coin description on Cryptsy, I assume it's somewhere on the Digibyte page, but I couldn't find it there)

The launch happened on sometime on January 12, with block 1440, which was 16000 coins.(I found this by examining the blockchain)

The payout then changed to 8000 on block 5760 (3 days later, found this in the blockchain), and has reduced slowly ever since. Currently the block reward is around 7686.

Ok

Thanks for the explanation, maybe it should be posted on the first post to prevent confusion.

You may want to check the prior posts here to see what Jared said about the new multi algo update. We may need to ask him for something more official than that.

YC


Ryven,
 Good to see you! Can you reach out to them?

YC


Thanks! I've been lurking but was preparing for Cryptolina and in the middle of trying to sell a house/move so things have been busy. I can tell Herald in my own words of course but if there's an official press release we've been using I'd prefer that. Mostly just to make sure the right information is getting out.

Also we need the Digibyte facebook page to get more attention. I think facebook is a really good way to reach out to people who never heard about Digibyte/cryptoworld.


Something like this on altcoinherald website.

https://altcoinherald.com/giveaways/

I'm willing to donate 15000 digibytes when this starts.(or something like this offcourse)

Reached out to David to get coverage for DGB. Let's see if he responds back.

YC

It appears you can post on his forum and he checks that.

According to http://davidseaman.com/blog/

Looks like he is active on twitter so that might work as well.

Thanks for the post YC, we should let David know when we are officially mining on the multi-algo update.

How do we contact David? Would be great to have him do an overview of DGB and some of the new features being rolled out.

YC

I don't have any contacts there but as a list, here are some other places we should contact for PR.

Kayahoga & 24,
 I think this is positive. If you guys can help contact Coindesk to get a feature story from Jared regarding multi algo, that would be great publicity. Do anyone of you have a contact there?

YC

So, whos next on the "hit list" , who do we need to contact next to get the ball rolling?  I kind of want to make a list of who all we need to contact and start going through one by one.  There are enough of us here that we can hopefully reach everyone very quickly.

Exchange wise, I think Cryptsy is the next one that will hopefully be done today, then the two exchanges with the most volume should be taken care of.

+1
that will really help to get the word out!
Maybe a nice article placed on a  Bitcoin/altcoin  information website. (coindesk,....?)


Did lazycoins already update to the multi-algo wallet?
I tweeted them about it just a minute ago.
