DigiByte has been successfully implemented into the Bitcoin 0.9 Core! Just a bit more testing before we release!


sounds great!

What does this mean for the coin?
As far as we know we are the first Alt Coin to do this. Including Litecoin. So besides Bitcoin we will have the most advanced crypto protocol running in our wallets.


if we use digibyte 2.9 I must be updated my wallet again?

We are still preparing it. It might take us a couple more days as we are preparing all the info and materials for the crypto currency convention. We have also had some other unexpected things come up. Sorry for the delay but we need to get it done and make sure we have a solid professional presentation and presence at the convention.

what's the ETA?

more the question or: friday, saturday, sunday......
We are working to get the promotional material for the Convention out to the printer today & tomorrow. We need to get all that off so we have time to get it printed and returned to us before the convention.  We also are working on getting the presentation for the crypto convention finished by Saturday. We were hoping to get images we could use in the presentation and the video. So we are going to do our best to get you some by Saturday evening if not before.

We are also working on wrapping up the DigiByte v 2.9 update which implements DigiByte into the Bitcoin 0.9 software.

We have also had several discussions with investors and other merchants  about adding DigiByte. So we are very excited for that and for the Crypto Convention. We feel it is going to be a huge boost for DigiByte. We will be very well positioned and well represented there.

We apologize for the delay in communications but it is very time consuming keeping up with messages vie Email, BitcoinTalk, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter & DigiByteTalk while trying to get any development work done. We could use a full time communications/pr rep at this point.

I can't speak for the other mods @ DigiByteTalk but I'm certainly willing to help out on that forum in any way. (Though of course I can't help if you mean PMs as opposed to posts). Not being a member of the core team I refrain from posting announcements there, but if that would help take the load off you then I can do that.
The post count there is increasing but still rather low. Increased use of DigiByteTalk would allow discussions to be followed more easily as important or interesting posts sometimes get lost in the clutter here.

So this will include the payment request architecture?  Sounds like a great boon for potential merchants, nice work!

This is part of the normal coin's growth. All gains currently are short term. If you feel its necessary to get out principal and play with house money, that's fair. The next big step for this coin will be to increase awareness in China due to the large amount of capital and liquidity they bring. BTC38.com and BTER.com are top exchanges. We need to get someone from that part of the community to assist. In addition, a larger retailer that would accept DGB would also create massive buzz and headway. Let's keep pushing forward and not lose sight of the larger goal in mind. No selling here.

---- You are right, dude.

So many people buying on cryptsy AWESOME, BUY BUY BUY ! Smiley

On the note of Cryptsy, DGB is looking good.  It wasn't pumped like normal, maybe because it is so spread out on other exchanges, but the price is holding up pretty good.  This is a stable coin for the future.

Just for any newbs that are now getting in on the coin, the highest it has been is close to 400 Satoshi in the past.  This coin held over 300 for a decent amount of time as well.  A big reason the price dipped was because of multipool attacks which have now been remedied with DigiShield which is performing flawlessly btw. So the prices you see now are bargains.  There is plenty of headroom to go and the previous high prices were just a taste of what is in store for this coin.

This past week the Digibyte presence on Twitter has grown.  It is now crossing the paths of more and more people and I have seen some big players now talking about DigiByte when they didn't know it existed before. Prepare to see a lot of action with the coin in the coming weeks.  Without question now is a really good time to buy.

how come did you give the digishield code away? doesnt that mean that any coin can use it without saying they have? it could have been a great promotion tool for digibyte
The code is open source. Anyone can use it or look at it.

If you were to implement x11, consider me on board.


There other hash solutions out there the best known of these being Scrypt-Jane and Adaptive-N which for the most part are the same. They both use a variable N factor which is locked to 2^10 in Scrypt. This is the memory requirement, 2^10 works out to 1024 bytes. Vertcoin a very popular Adaptive-N coin currently uses an N factor of 2^11 which works out to 2048 bytes, every time the N factor goes up the performance of miners drops by half. Vertcoin currently has half the performance of Scrypt and has a maximum N of 2^32 which works out to 4GB, most graphic cards cannot even do work at that level and with the current hash rate the difficulty of Vertcoin could not go low enough to support that level of N. Scrypt-Jane and Adaptive-N may be ASIC hostile but they are also GPU hostile.

 X11 uses 11 well known and high performing hashing solutions chained together to generate the hashes required to generate new blocks. Since it uses 11 different hashes it is complex and unlikely to see a ASIC for it any time soon. The good news for miners is that they can use X11 right now to avoid multipools and start gathering coins that are going to become very important when the Scrypt ASICs hit. Mining X11 gives 3-4 times the hash power of Scrypt, uses less energy and generates even less heat.

This is the solution that people have been looking for.
Thank you for posting this feedback. Which specific coins are currently using X11? I would like to run some of my own hardware tests for comparison to see exactly how it performs.

Word is that EMC2 is switching to X11. Also found this poll which backs it up (even tho the poll seems ongoing still)

We are officially dropping the word "currency" from any of our publications or promotion.

DigiByte is a decentralized crypto payment network based upon Litecoin & Bitcoin that works similar to PayPal & Western Union. DigiByte is fast, secure & world-wide!

Hi, of course it is just a matter of vocabulary, but if you dig a bit, the system is different from Paypal or any fund transfer system.
Let me explain my thoughts:

When you use paypal, what you do is just transfer real money (us$) to abank account and pay with it.
Technically, it is just a bank, and you pay with dollars ( or euros or whatever).
If you want to pay using DGB, technically, you have to buy "credits" (ie DGBs), then spend it, then the seller could use those "credits" or exchange them for dollars. At a moment , (high) value has been created and the user pays it.

The truth is when you put dollars on paypal, the only thing you "buy" is the service of the bank when you pay, but you still are the owner of your dollars. The only way paypal makes money is transaction fees.No value has been created in the transaction (only fees for service are paid)
With DGBs, when you "buy" DGBs for the first time, you pay the original owner of the DGBs (or the lastest specukator to own it), and you no longer own your dollars, but just "credit" whose value in dollars can go up or down.

This is sure, even if you try to change the naming, the potential users will quickly point that out and ask you "why would people make money when I, as a user buy DGBs first ? ( because this is true, and that is probably why we are here, we have nothing else to gain, fees are not for us, and people using DGB won't generate any additionnal money to anyone, this is a one-shot deal).

So you have to prepare to answer this question, and in my opinion, here is the way to explain:

Each DGB can be seen as a credit that is highly secure and allows fast transactions, consider each "credit" as a container for your money.
To allow that level of security, each credit is unique and has originally been processed by high end computing systems, this costs time and money, and that is what you pay for.

Obviously it is always a matter of vocabulary, because ppll won't own their original $ anyway, but at least you can try to justify the value of what you sell them.


About law aspects, i don't know how it works in usa( i'm in France), but maybe you could check how it works for "virtual currencies" in mmorpg games or so, is it illegal ? i gues no, finally DGBs are not so different, is it just the game that is way bigger. Smiley

PS: suggestion: call the coins "Digibyte credits" or "Digicredits by Digibyte system"

DigiByte is a secure world-wide decentralized payment network inspired by Bitcoin. You send & receive DigiBytes much like PayPal & Western Union transfer money but with vast improvements, including lightning fast transactions with minimal or no fees.

What do you think?
