Why don't you have an iPhone app? (seriously, I feel like there is a lot more to this answer than I realize)

You can conjecture all day but the bottom line is Apple doesn't allow anything to do with sending or receiving bitcoins on the app store as apparent by their recent removal of the blockchain app in February.

Here is a quote from blockchains response to their apps removal
(taken from https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/02/06/blockchain-response-to-apple/)

Quote
These actions by Apple once again demonstrate the anti-competitive and capricious nature of the App Store policies that are clearly focused on preserving Apple’s monopoly on payments rather than based on any consideration of the needs and desires of their users.

Quote
Apple’s censorship of bitcoin applications, especially when viewed in the context of removing a 2 year app with 120,000 downloads is historic and unprecedented.

Eh, the apple fad is starting to end. Industry leaders and financial analysts aren't to excited about Apple's long-term viability. From personal experience, even some of my uber-apple-fanboy friends are starting to jump ship after supporting the company for years.

So why waste energy on an apple app especially with their anti-crypto stance?

Jared,
 Perfect. This is what we need to continue doing. I think it will be important to connect with them and also other vendors in PERSON in NY to make sure continue to grow. There are only so many things we can do over the internet.

Kind Regards,
YC

We completely agree! We feel the crypto convention will be an abosulute huge boost to DigiBytes success. We look forward to cementing several face to face relationships. As such we are working on getting a booth as well as promotional materials put together.

We learned a tremendous amount at the Texas Bitcoin Conference this week. With the headlines in the news, one of the biggest things on the agenda and in the hallway conversations was security.

Very good to hear from you guys! We look forward to actively helping promote your launch! We have created accounts to test out the site. It is very impressive and operates smoothly. We like the way it looks and feels. We sent a test deposit and everything appears to be working correctly. We are very excited for trading to start! We have a strong feeling this could become the go-to exchange for DigiByte.

We have also checked out your FinCEN ID # and everything appears to be professional and very legitimate. Please keep us updated as things progress! Thanks again for including us in your launch!

We have been in contact with a very successful marketing rep for a top company in the United States. She knows nothing about crypto currencies and gave us the following list of questions she thought would help bridge the knowledge gap for not only herself, but the common person when trying to understand crypto technology and DigiByte.

We believe there is no such thing as a "dumb" question when a normal consumer is attempting to better understand crypto technology.

How would you answer the following questions she asked in the most simple, easy to understand manner? As a community lets find the best possible answers to help "bridge" the gap.



Where does it come from?

How do you create more?

How do you protect what is there so you don't just "create it" out of no where?

How do I pay with it at the store? As in, what function

Where does it go from here? After Crypo currency?

Why don't you have an iPhone app? (seriously, I feel like there is a lot more to this answer than I realize)

How do you level it out? For example - if the value today is 50:1 or whatever - and that's how you're paid by your employer... and the value is 1:1 the next day, how do you buy groceries? Does it end up being a straight currency like a dollar, or is it volatile like stock?

How is it taxed? How am I taxed on it? How does the IRS view it?

How will the government react? How do you even get legislature to buy in to passing this? <-- I don't even know what I just asked. I am assuming that makes sense.

How do you protect whats yours? Hackers freak me out.

Is there a "bank"?

What happens to dollars, will they go away?

How do you translate to existing stock/investments?

How do you integrate all the systems, ie - credit companies, mortgage companies, banks, employers (big and small), ect, ect to all be on the same page?

I wouldnt mind doing a promotional video. what kind of video would you like? I was thinking a video on how to get digibytes, then how to store them at home, and on person via the app, then maybe how to spend them. Is this what your thinking?

Maybe have a open thread/contest where others can submit, and we all vote on what one we like.
Great idea! We have a professional voice over created by bman3 before we lost contact with him. It might be a great place to start. We will post a link to it.

DigiRoadMap 2014



Mission Statement
DigiByte is a professional decentralized crypto currency  designed to become a worldwide payment system for merchants and consumers to easily and quickly buy and sell goods and services over the internet, in store or person to person.

Vision Statement
DigiByte is to become a billion dollar world-wide payment system that will change the way people of all races, nationalities and backgrounds purchase or sell every day goods and services.  Within the next twelve to twenty-four months you will be able to walk into a store and with the press of a button on a smart phone purchase your coffee, groceries or rent a movie.



The Four Phases of Crypto Currency Technology & DigiByte

Phase 1 (2009-2012): Initial creation & Development of crypto technology that laid out the foundation for DigiByte to be built upon.

Phase 2 (2013-Present): Adoption within small “theme” based tech communities on the internet. We believe we are now approaching the end of this phase and the current production of “meme” theme based coins will begin to dwindle or be pushed to the side. DigiByte was conceptualized & launched during this phase.

Phase 3 (Late 2013 – Mid 2014): Sophisticated & Institutional Investors come on board. This is the phase we are excited for and are currently working to market ourselves toward. DigiByte will excel here as investors look to a promising coin with long term potential.

Phase 4 (Mid 2014-2015): Main stream adoption by the average consumer to purchase goods & services. DigiByte will rise to dominance.



Major DigiByte Goals Next  6-12 Months
1) Develop Digi-Pay & Merchant API tools. We want to make DigiByte a very simple & cost effective payment method for merchants to adopt. Think of Digi-Pay as a hybrid cross between CoinBase and BitPay.

2) To become a bridge for the average consumer into crypto technology. We want to make DigiByte as simple and as easy to understand as possible. We want to provide people with all the materials they need to quickly adopt and understand the crypto technology underlying DigiByte.

3) Reach out to lawmakers, regulators, financial industry leaders and become a vocal cooperative voice to further crypto technology and DigiByte.



Upcoming DigiByte Milestones Next 3 Months

• Promote and explain DigiShield in much better detail.

• Develop an easy to understand DigiByte promo video.

• Develop easy to understand marketing materials for the average consumer.

• Get added to Cryptsy.

• Promote and participate in AGX.io launch.

• Attend the Crypto Convention in New York. This will be a huge boost for us and we look forward to cementing many face to face relationships with other crypto leaders and investors.

• Approach Bitpay & Coinbase about adding DigiByte as a payment system.

• Approach/Pitch DigiByte to Overstock.com, TigerDirect.com and a few other large retailers.

• Begin sending informative, easy to understand informational packets to politicians, regulators and financial industry leaders describing how DigiByte and crypto technology is beneficial.



Code Development Goals Next 3 Months
• Update DigiByte to latest Bitcoin client code.

• Develop light version of wallet for speed.

• Consider a coin mixing service or tor network addition.

• Reasearch btcd, a full node bitcoin implementation in the Go language, by conformal systems ( https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/btcd ) and investigate migrating btcd into the DigiByte ecosystem.



Community Reward Bounties
• Promotional Video – 1 Million DigiByte Reward

• Digiman Marketing Images – Take the existing DigiMan and put him in several other poses. 500,000 DGB

• How To Guides – Short concise professional guides explaining how to do various tasks related to DigiByte. 25,000 DGB per guide.



People We are Looking to Add to the Team:

• Outside investor(s) to help with Digi-Pay, money transmitter Licenses, FinCEN regulations etc. This needs to be the right person or group of people that we can cement a professional long term relationship with.

• Chinese liaison /consultant who understands the Chinese culture, crypto technology, the western business world and what we are trying to achieve with DigiByte.

The DigRoadMap we are about to post is by no means a final version. This is a rough draft that we want to release and get the communities input on. We would like to finalize it by Monday and use it to replace the initial text on the front page of this thread.

We first would like to lay out a clear path forward everyone can get on board with. Then we will set specific target dates, assign roles and figure out exactly how we will be getting from point A to point B.

If we get on Cryptsy lets hope it doesn't kill the price even further, Ultracoin is -25% since it went on Cryptsy, Vertcoin had a spike and then a massive drop and never recovered.

First of all, I  provided him the phone number. Second of all, you need to have a little bit of trust in the team for the best interest of the coin. Not sure why he wouldn't call if the coin could potentially rise and involve more interested parties to join in. Let's have more unity than casting doubt.

Good job ycagel, but has there been a confirmation that he's actually gotten into contact with Cryptsy? Smiley

I'm really impressed by the dev support!
Is the Roadmap released yet?
Also, is there an official paper wallet yet? I want to spread the word about DGB by giving all my family and friends a paper wallet.


We will be releasing the Road Map here shortly (couple hours).

I just gave Cryptsy a call to introduce myself as well as thanking them for responding to YC. I also thanked them for all the hard work they have done to help crypto technology grow.

I told them I and the rest of the DigiByte team were looking forward to meeting them in New York as well as starting a professional relationship long into the future. Hopefully this is the start of something great!

Thank you YC for taking the initiative on this!
