Dev Team Update:

We are working hard on finishing the new user tutorials, promo video and upgrading the website /server. We are also still planning out the DGB exchange.

Once we have all that done and we are on a few more exchanges we are going to make a marketing push to attract new users and merchants.

We are thinking of utilizing the FaceBook ad service at first. Since they allow you to target specific demographics such as people who have "liked" bitcoin, or computers or some sort of investment page.

We figure for a few grand we could put the DigiByte logo and brand in front of a few million people.

What do you guys think?

Any suggestions for Ad's, slogans or hot points to attract new users? Or goal is to become a bridge to attract new users into the crypto world.

Exiting times ahead, I like where it is going.

Once the exchange is up I say spend as much as you can on Direct Marketing, FB-ad and Google ads. A referral program for the exchange will create even more traffic. Contests and lotteries always draws a crowd, we could host those on FB/Twitter while all the ads are out. Prices can be anything with the logo on it, or just dgb related stuff. Basically cheap effects you can buy on alibaba and ebay or vouchers, apps/services.

We could contact the people at btcclicks, bitvisitor and other PTC sites and ask for a discount on ads. All their viewers know what bitcoin is.

Make sure the wallet is foolproof before the big marketing effort (no sync issues, etc). It should have new design corresponding with the logo to differentiate us, just like WDC, MEC and PRT. This is IMO the most important thing, the client is the buffer between the user and the product.

How do you create addresses without a wallet. It there an online tool like for bitcoin that works for digibyte?  Or does digibyte use the same hash methods as bitcoin or litecoin?
DigiByte uses the Scrypt algorithm instead of SHA-256.

I believe Scrypt is used for Proof of Work but I'm pretty sure the addresses are still created using sha-256.  They do also start with a 'd'.  

Something like https://github.com/litecoin-project/liteaddress.org shouldnt be that hard to modify. Something in javascript is likely the ideal solution because a hosted service would let the hoster see the private key. In javascript its all done locally.


Very interesting. The DigiByte addresses start with a "D" represented by a Base58 check encoding. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding

Yes, sorry, your absolutely correct. I was was not case sensitive there, which matters.

In the source its defined at https://github.com/digibyte/DigiByteProject/blob/master/src/base58.h#L281

If you just need an address for temporary storage of a few coins, you could simply used https://CoinMarket.io they allow you to trade them for other currencies as well (if you want to). For mining or for large amounts of coins I'd definitely suggest installing a wallet locally and generating a personal address there.

I think for now you need a wallet. DigiByte is using scrypt not the same as bitcoin. Please see first page or visit digibyte.co

Don't say anything negative about the business who we are asking for their services.
+1 Yes. They are good for the alt community and crypto currencies in general.

As soon as it hits cryptsy the difficulty will skyrocket as the price will increase and multi pools get their teeth into it.

Not that I am against it of course, but I wouldn't mind another week or so's stocking up! Smiley

Big Vern just commented on our feature request ticket @ Cryptsy: https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/72581/page/22

Please make a post with a few sentences explaining why you feel DigiByte should be added to Crypsty!



Waiting to see the coin on cryptsy... Don't like their website, invites middlecoin-esque pools, but it's an important step for the coins legitimacy!
We all just need to stand behind our coin  Smiley

I am solo mining and on my pc it shows a diff of 16 but on both of my rigs it says 79.5M and in the logs it shows

[30/01/2014 20:51:58] Mining Rig reported network difficulty is now 79,462,491.26.

What is going on? wondered why my PC was finding most of the blocks. My rigs are both running BAMT with 3 MSI 280x cards in each.

Is this true? What's happening? Can someone confirm?

Highly unlikely it went to 79.5 diff. Currently my pool is saying 17, with 16ish next change. Highest I have ever seen it is high 20's...although I don't watch difficulty 24/7


Yes, currently network difficulty is around 17.
