Can we use DigiByte in a system similar to ethereum so that DigiByte is used as a fuel (gas, payment) to do smart contract? Maybe it is not necessary as that market is occupied by Ethereum already.
Who would want to?
But seriously, have you really researched Ethereum? Their code base? Their network security? Their total lack of scaleability? Their distribution? Their pre-mine? Their now current cost cuttings with office closures? Well, I do admit they are good at marketing and packaging, but if that's all they've got, would you really want to imitate them? Ethereum?
They're light years behind us.
I think we should all agree that Ethereum is pretty amazing tech and it has a lot more 3rd party developers than DigiByte.
Based on hype, and unfounded hype at that. What 3rd party developers? Look into it closely. It's smoke and mirrors. There's really nothing under the hood. And it's not like they hide it either: it's all right there in their own documentation for the whole world to freely see. Technically, they're even worse off than BTC, and developmentally worse yet; you almost get the idea they're laughing in everyone's face.
My prediction is that they are going to give new meaning to the word bagholder. But don't take my word for it, look into it closely . . . don't forget to read all the different threads on them while you're at it, and please advise if you find a positive community thread somewhere other than their own sock puppet laiden forum or reddit, 'cause I've yet to find anything positive there either.
If I had Ethereum, I'd sell it now.
ADD: Please duly note that these are my thoughts being expressed to our community members both as strong opinion and a healthy challenge to really start comparing apples with apples and oranges with oranges, and that means in this case cryptographic digital currency basics with cryptographic digital currency basics. I am not on another coin's thread bashing it. I'm here saying they don't hold a candle to us. Big difference. On top of that, my last newsletter clearly laid out 4 of the most basic cryptographic digital currency fundamentals to compare with, so, if you want to really compare, you know right where to go for a head start. Prove me wrong.
And don't worry, I will be proving my point anyway. It's only a matter of time until I fully document my top 10 shams.
I don't want to dispute what your saying here (mainly because I have no time) but you should take into consideration that Ethereum is NOT a cryptoCURRENCY its a crypto smart contracts platform, its not meant to be a currency so if we're comparing DGB with ETH then we are indeed comparing apples with oranges. I also think a basic risk your taking with any cryptocurrency is that its a scam of some type or another (mainly due to the non-regulated nature of the market) and I'm quite comfortable taking that risk with certain cryptocurrencies.
In the spirit of keeping the thread mainly focused on DGB and other healthy discussions I will refrain from commenting.
That's the biggest joke of all: you buy and sell "ether", the "gas" that "makes it go", and somehow that makes it different? Call it by whatever name you like, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck, or, as in this case, a poorly made decoy.
Oh, and for the rest of what is claimed to be of value, being the "world computer" where anyone can install their private programs to be run from anywhere at anytime, please, don't make me laugh. But, I agree, enough of this for now and will leave it for the time being with a P.T. Barnum quote: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Good discussion, but you're right, we should let others join in too, more than anything with direct comparisons of fundamental aspects, since, as I said before, this is where the real conversation resides. I firmly maintain DGB beats them several times over. Prove me wrong by showing that DGB isn't the hands down winner IN ALL CATEGORIES (if you really compare the essential building blocks and principles . . . which differ not one iota, regardless of what they're called or the name they're given).
When you think about it, when seen from that point of view, that's about as DGB thread related as it gets.
