Can anyone put together an image of the DigiMan with a DigiShield? We need to have an image to market with all the talk of DigiShield going around on major news sites!
This is our chance to gain a lot of momentum. Combine this with our presentation at the Crypto Convention in New York on April 9th and we have some very exciting times ahead!
We are also exploring the possibility of crowd funding to help pay for all the regulatory expenses and state licenses to get Digi-Pay off the ground and 100% licensed! So far no crypto exchange is licensed in every state.

We are on the phone with Cryptsy right now and they are talking about creating a system which would prevent bots from voting. They are not just taking the top 2 coins. We pleaded our case to get DGB added.

YC,
This is great news! Thank you so much for taking the time to call them! We were wondering if bots had been taking advantage of their voting system.
Are you on Reddit? If not, what is you DGB address? Your consistent professionalism and exceptional representation of DigiByte is much appreciated!

Dogecoin Forks to Avoid Multipool Exploit, Mandatory Update!
by Tom Boice
Yes, you can still teach an old Doge new tricks.
Only three months after the release of Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency based on a meme has cleared its third major hurdle. After discovering that certain mining groups were exploiting a weakness in the protocol to game the system, the doge-devs are ready to release version 1.6 of the Dogecoin wallet client.
This update is mandatory.
At block 145,000, Dogecoin will automatically fork so that no Dogecoin is at risk of being lost.
The update will change block-rewards, which had been random, to a flat 250,000 DOGE.
Also included in the update is the DigiShield difficulty algorithm, which will allow the mining difficulty to adjust near-instantly. This was developed by the team at DigiByte, who allowed Dogecoin to use it in a gracious show of community-spirit. In a rapidly expanding market, such team spirit is rare.
Additionally, mined Dogecoin now takes four hours to mature before being spent. This allows any potential forks in the future to be dealt with in a more efficient manner.
“Fork you, Multi-pool.”
Multipools are mining groups that use their hashing power to mine whichever coin is most profitable at a given moment. Miners participating in multipools configure their rigs in an all-purpose manner and the multipool server then calculates the exchange rates of eligible cryptocurrencies, directing the massive mining power to net the miners the greatest profit.
The mercenary nature of multipools is the result of free-market competition, and in many ways is necessary for assuring that there will be hash-rate available to any coin that has demand.
However, a problem arises when a multipool causes a sudden surge of hash-rate, resulting in increased difficulty of mining. Once the difficulty rises and the coin is less profitable, the multipool moves on, leaving smaller miners struggling through difficult calculations until the next difficulty-adjustment.
Using DigiShield, difficulty adjustment is nearly instantaneous, eliminating the problem of large pools surging in when the difficulty is low and abandoning once it adjusts. This is a big deal, because this addition sets Dogecoin apart from the cryptocurrency it was cloned from, Litecoin.
The major reason for the sudden Dogecoin 1.6 fork is that the “random” block-rewards had been essentially cracked by multipools.
The multipools were able to figure out the reward sizes of blocks ahead of time and cherry-pick those with large rewards, leaving the scraps to smaller miners. With the removal of random block rewards, this problem no longer exists.
State of the Coin
Attention paid to Dogecoin, along with its exchange rate, has been neglected since the Olympics ended, and Bitcoin has had the spotlight with scandal after scandal.
Many feel that the multipool gaming of block rewards was the cause of much of the downward price trend, though, as it is common for alt-coin miners to sell their rewards for Bitcoin/fiat immediately.
Shibe-charity is alive and well with the Doge4Water initiative to raise awareness for clear drinking water.
Additionally, as a “Thank you” for the help DigiBytes gave to the Dogecoin development team by lending the use of DigiShield as well as helping to test the new wallet, many shibes are organizing to vote for DigiBytes to be the next Cryptsy market.
Amid this rallying to put DigiBytes on Cryptsy, shibes are flocking en-masse to Kraken, a U.S. based exchange that recently opened trade to the often silly cryptocurrency. Many shibes feel Cryptsy can’t handle the large volume of Dogecoin trade, as it often halts service during peak hours.

GoCoin Announces Dogecoin Integration as Client Update Tackles Mining Issues
by Dan Palmer
International payment platform GoCoin has today announced plans to support dogecoin.
The move means merchants using the platform will soon be able to accept payments in the canine currency, in addition to GoCoin’s existing currencies, bitcoin and litecoin.
“We’ve been carefully prioritizing the latest altcoins, and dogecoin really stands out as a viable currency due, in large part, to the strength of its community,” said GoCoin founder and CEO Steve Beauregard.
“By integrating dogecoin into our platform, GoCoin is one step closer to giving merchants the ability to accept any digital currency and increase sales with new shoppers.”
“We expect to be live with dogecoin with the next few weeks,” he added.
Wow payments
GoCoin, which is based in Singapore, started rolling out merchant payments in bitcoin late in 2013, expanding to include litecoin in January of this year.
The payment platform helps merchants from around the globe accept cryptocurrency payments on their websites by providing options at checkout. Several methods can be employed, from a full app payments systems to hosted forms or buttons.
Merchants pay a 1% fee to start with, which drops to 0% after transactions have passed $2,500 US$ per month.
The company says its “proprietary back-end systems optimize coin exchange for cash, eliminating volatility and security risk”.

Dogecoin has become famous for being a joke coin featuring a shiba inu dog on its logo, that – to everyone’s surprise – has actually started accruing value since its inception in December 2013.
moonImage via need4doge
However, its relatively low price against the US dollar (1 dogecoin = $0.0008618 at the time of publishing), means it has been less a domain for serious investors; instead developing a community of supporters that enjoy using the currency for tipping and more altruistic purposes.
The dogecoin community is known for its slightly off-the-wall fundraising campaigns, such as raising $30,000 to help the Jamaican bobsleigh team get to the Sochi Winter Olympics. More recently, the Dogecoin Foundation has kicked off a campaign to raise $50,000 for new water wells in a drought-hit region of Kenya.
Said Kevin Beauregard, GoCoin’s VP of engineering:
“We love the ethos of the dogecoin community and our merchants are ready to accept it alongside bitcoin and litecoin.”
The fact that the cryptocurrency is being accepted by more businesses indicates that it is increasingly been seen as a viable coin for standard commercial transactions.
Much problems
However, while the fledgling currency has proved a surprise hit, it has been plagued with problems.
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have posed severe problems for mining pools, which have suffered lost mining time and stolen coins.
MineImage via need4doge
In the case of Dogepool.pw, at least 15 million coins were taken from the pool’s master wallet, and TeamDoge was struck numerous times by hackers who assaulted the stratum software that is used to coordinate the collective computing power of all the miners.
Furthermore, ‘multipools’ – mining groups that use their hashing power to mine whichever coin is most profitable at a given moment – have been targeting a flaw in the currency to cherry-pick blocks with large rewards, which were found to be pre-calculable.
This was causing sudden surges in the hash-rate, which increased the difficulty of mining for solo miners, and also left them with the crumbs of the mining rewards.
Very fixed?
In news announced today, however, the altcoin’s developers have announced version 1.6 of the dogecoin wallet client (to be found here). This mandatory update introduces changes designed to avoid the problems arising from marauding multipools.
This is a mandatory update as it involves a hard fork of the network. Users should make sure they are running 1.6 to ensure that they’re on the correct block chain and not at risk of losing their DOGE.
Most notably, block rewards (which had been random) will be a flat 250,000 DOGE to prevent cherry-picking, and a new DigiShield difficulty algorithm will allow the mining difficulty to adjust almost instantly after a multipool visit.
While the update won’t solve all of dogecoin’s issues, it will go some way towards making life easier for the small-scale miners in this doge-eat-doge world.
