Nice! Didn't thought on that

I believe there is a commandline option to specify where the blockchain is stored.  So a windows user could just create a shortcut and add the argument.

I believe it would go something like:

digibyted.exe -datadir=PATH_TO_DIRECTORY

If you're using a unix system you can do something like that:


Replace /media/external with any path to another harddisk. ln -s creates a symlink to that new path.

Jared,
 So we just take the main .exe and copy it over our existing wallet .exe?

Is it worth starting a new one?

My main ssd is getting full due to various blockchains being saved on it by default. Is there a way to shift blockchains to a different drive with creating a junction point?  Any advice would be most welcome   (simply saving a qt to a different drive doesn't work btw, the blockchain will still be saved in the user data on the main drive)

 maybe the next coin what added digishield (GB coin)

+1 Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, just back up your wallet for safety purposes, then install the exe.

Everyone should update to 2.9.1 because of the OpenSSL problem. We are doing a bit more testing, but should finalize the release later today.

We do not control this Thunderclap account. Does anyone remember who started it off the top of their head?

I found this:

Is there anyway to do a more updated Thunderclap and attempt to gain much more social reach?

hi guys! this is us ) check out our thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptonatorcom-cryptocurrency-conversion-tool-463424 or go directly for our free chrome extension

Any writers here that would be willing to do a white paper on DGB? I would take the initiative but I suck at writing.

YC

Appreciate the guidance! I also think it is a wise time for all the long term believers of the coin to look at investing. The price has not moved much even with the volatility of BTC. The more we have invested for the long term sustainability the better. As a side note, I am not being asked to say this, just my opinion.

YC

I’ve updated to 2.9.1  It is in an exe file so just backup your wallet to a safe place & you can run the program, it will automatically update for you. (The backup is just in case btw, you shouldn't need to copy/paste yourself to update)

ver 2.9.1 seems to be working & syncing fine for me btw.

Some really great feedback from DotaBeard on Reddit:

What I think should be done to make DigiByte more accessible (self.Digibyte)

submitted 5 hours ago* by dotabeardhttp://dgbmining.com

Hello everyone,

DigiByte is already a great friendly community that welcomes new members, which is great for new people. But we currently attract people that have some kind of technical background, not the general public. We need to change this.

DigiByte's goal from the start on was to make a currency for the people. But the majority of the people are not very tech-savvy. Here is what I think we should do to make DigiByte more relevant to them.

    Make it clear that there are advantages over traditional banks. Why else would you put your money in something that's new?

    Make it easier to use. One of the things we could be doing here is make the wallet update automatically or with great ease. As some of you may note this will create a single point of failure, but the majority of people simply aren't tech-savvy. And wouldn't know how to do it otherwise. An alternative solution is to have very secure sites (similar to banking sites) that have always updated wallets.

    Explain what it's all about. e.g. Why should I trust this new medium? How does it work? How are new DigiBytes made? How safe is it? Are there any fees?

    Have a DigiByte to USD exchange so the coin has some real life value, have ATM's that accept DigiBytes etc. Those ATM's should be placed in cities where they move quickly technology wise, like in New York.

    Live up to it's name as a professional coin. This means a stellar site, with little to no downtime, no dead links and no little mistakes. (The windows circle still bothers me, and I have pointed it out on multiple occasions)

    More communication from the devs. This point is mainly focused on personal messages and having general announcements on all social media. Instead of talking almost exclusively in the bitcointalk thread.

    Release a white paper with all information about the coin. Laying out future plans, current/planned algorithms etc.

    I'm still not sure about the looks of Digi-Man and if we even need a mascot. It just seems childish to me.

Have any more suggestions? Then please let me know in the comment section!

Closing note: I have been with DigiByte ~2 weeks from the start and firmly believe that this coin has a future. We have taken some good steps like DigiShield, but we still have a long way to go.

EDIT: Glad to see that there are currently no dead links on the site anymore, atleast on the front page that is.

There are still some here: http://digibyte.co/about-digibyte

Really sweet thought! In fact Kickstarter could be a great site for us to get ideas on merchants / future partners we want to work with. Find some high octane projects and let's brainstorm on how DGB can help.

YC

LTC,
 All awesome ideas! Let's contact the indie developers and start figuring out what type of material we can spread on Youtube. We also need more folks to post on the Reddit channel. It seems a bit quiet there.
