Having watched the 2nd DigiReport, i just would like to say that Digibyte's Current Impression is looking better than before. Things now are more organized, transparent and alive. Awesome transformation on DigiReport video's professionalism (the 1st one look like it was not done properly and very impromptu). Good to see everything is back in order!
Keep it up! i'm still planning to buy more digibytes and hold them.
As for my thoughts on the 21 years vs 144 years, there is an issue about how miners will continue to mine if all bitcoin has been mined. How will they earn and continue mining to secure the network and verify transactions? the current understanding is that miners will earn from transaction fees. i don't know much about this yet but i thought i just bring it up to the table since we are still in discussion about Digibyte's Supply.
And then there's also the Lightning Network, which could drastically boost the number of bitcoin transactions verified/sec? something like that. i read a reddit mentioning that the Lightning Network can be ready earlier than they had planned it to be. Will Digibyte benefit from the Lightning Network too?
Regarding Digibyte's PoW algorithms, i am not knowledgeable about it. but i hope the Digibyte Team and those who are knowledgeable about it, can take a look at other altcoin's PoW algorithms. the only one that caught my attention was Vertcoin's Lyra2.
http://vertcoin.org/wp/pow-algorithm-upgrade-lyra2/. Any thoughts about it? it seems like it can be adopted into one of Digibyte's algorithms as i rmb reading something about how problematic huge mining farms can be to Digibyte because of 2 PoW algorithms.
About PoS coins, just a thought, i think some kind of PoS could be useful after all coins have been mined. i do not know how but i believe it can be further work on. I think it won't be called PoS anymore since there won't be anymore coins to get. Proof of Ownership? Also, Since there won't be any difficulty involved after all coins have already been mined, therefore...huge amount of electricity won't be needed to compute to solve mathematical equations am i right? electricity is only needed to verify transactions and to secure the network. so somewhere around there, maybe some kind of PoS can prove to be useful in some ways. Maybe not by itself alone but together with other algorithms in the future. as far as i know, PoS and PoW ain't the only type of algorithms that i have come across during my research. there are others too. but those 2 are the most common for now.
Why am i talking about this (the previous paragraph)? well...if we are going to stick with the 21 years plan, what is going to happen after that to secure the network and to verify the transactions?
