Quick update! After officially partnering with Microsoft (Biz Spark +) we have received $120K USD in free hosting over the next 12 months on Azure. We are migrating all DigiByte servers to more improved hardware! This includes, DigiByte Gaming, DigiHash, DigiExplorer, Wallet services, Seed nodes and more! Stay tuned as we progress on these services and others.

And yes core protocol upgrades are underway!
This service is free to any startup: https://blogs.microsoft.com/firehose/2015/06/16/120000-per-year-of-free-azure-cloud-credits-will-go-to-startups-in-bizspark-plus-program/#sm.001ymx2gs1cfndafzcn1734q0erct

Will you share a copy of your mutual NDA as proof of partnership?

Now that M$ suckered you into deploying onto their centralized architecture what happens after 12 months? Who pays these costly M$ bills? Are you aware of the cost of M$ servers? Smiley

FYI: Your SSL website is accessing plaintext data: https://www.digibyte.co/

Lastly, any input on this? https://v.cash/forum/threads/basic-math-proves-digibyte-cannot-scale-debunk-it.447/#post-6509

I'm not known for trolling, just truth seeking, I own digibyte for years and seek some simple answers and explanations. Regards.

I do not understand why the community finds this awesome. "Awesome", "sweet", "great". Nobody is raising questions? Helloooooowww...

First of all, $120k USD for 12 months Huh I sure hope it's a mere typo, because 10 grant per month for some hosting sounds quite ridiculous to me.
And after 12 months, then what? Microsoft gonna do another giveaway of $120k?
And if not, then what's next? Digibyte gonna cough up a yearly $120k?
And if Digibyte can't,  then what. Migrating everything back again?


i think that is not 12 month but 3 years, i not know what exactly how much time microsoft give to digibyte. you can see  at https://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/#start-two
I think not all arbitrary startup companies can join there, only choices and has great potential can joined, because it is only going to spend resources microsoft

maybe partnership has began when jared come to microsoft, before rise event

First of all I believe the package includes much more than just server hosting, read up on the bitspark program. A lot can happen in a year for a start-up enterprise so it may well be the case that the team will be "coughing up" the amount needed to keep everything on Microsoft Azure. I also don't think Microsoft will simply ignore the progress DigiByte will make within the next year and may be interested in investing further.

If that's the only reason why not use a web or mobile based wallet?  Personally I never had much of a problem with the qt client, even when I've let it get out of sync for a month or two, but if you're having such issues it might be a sensible move.

I'm actually unable to log into the web wallet at the moment.  It's been down the last 2 times I've tried accessing.  I, too, will be cashing out of DGB once I can access my funds.  

I could host a site for you... yes, give me your privkeys (the main reason why people use cryptos is because them, and only them are responsible for their money).

Phone wallet... Phones will never be secure, for more info google "the fappenning".

The security breaches involved with the fappening are irrelevant to why people shouldn't use mobile wallets.  The fappening occurred at the fault of the user, similar to why nearly all attacks occur - because the end user made a mistake/was too lazy to lock down sensitive information.  

^^^ This!

It's such a good example, on way to many people involved into crypto's are too tech savy minded. I believe it leaves them a blind spot to a certain degree on the not so tech savy minded, and prevents a capable perception towards user experience. Most users simply don't have their wallet open 24/7. And the average person, will most likely not be waiting minutes, hours or DAYS for some piece of software to "synchronize", before he is able to use it. That's one major flaw a good deal of crypto's lack: Instant usability!

If people want to pay in stores, they draw their wallets, and be done. Or use their plastics, swipe, and be done. Or at home, bank wire their money, and be done. Heck, using Paypal, and be done.
What they certainly DON'T want, is to fire up some crappy ass software, waiting ages for it to synchronize whilst ladidaing in the meantime trying not to lose their patience before they can see what their actual balance is...

The Bitcoin sucks in that way, whilst they have only 10 minutes block time. Yet it's one of the downsides, why global IRL adoption is a difficult path. If you don't have the proper wallet, no instant usability! And Digibyte, with it's DigiSpeed 15 second blocks, is demanding a loooooot of patience on such factor and one of the very basic factors why it will never ever surpass certain other coins. Jared can talk all he want, and market caps mean utter shit. If instant usability isn't solved, crypto's will remain a niche, with Digibyte nothing more than a tiny niche within that niche.

This is a very good point. If you want to have the mass adopting Digibyte, it really needs to step up it's game in usability. Even if all stores would accept Digibyte, people would not be using it, simply because it does not offer a better experience (at this moment) than a simple debit card which you can just swipe and the bill is paid. As long as there is no real incentive for the average Joe (be it monetary, usability or whatever else) to use Digibyte, they will not switch. There is a lot of literature why people are hesitant to switch to new innovations (for a simple example: https://lloydmelnick.com/2014/07/23/why-a-new-product-or-game-has-to-be-9x-better/).

As Jessica already mentioned, many people in crypto's are way too focused on the technical side of crypto's, with a good example above on security. The average Joe (unfortunately) does not care about security. Why not? Because 99% of the time to be more secure requires way more effort. And people are lazy, so they go the more convenient way.

Marketing-wise it does a good job compared to other cryptocurrencies. Does it do a good job in comparison with other industries? Unfortunately not. Same goes for usability / user experience.
Don't get me wrong, I support Digibyte and think it does great things. But there are still great things to gain in the aforementioned areas, since almost all cryptocurrencies are doing a bad job in these areas. Therefore, make use of it and get this first-mover advantage. Continue to focus on gamers, most of them are between the tech-savvy people and the average (non-techsavvy) Joe and therefore a perfect place to start.

For the rest, keep up the good job doing so far, and congrats with securing the $120k USD of free hosting. :-)
