If this is true then i hope he tell us and send out a tweet or post here that he was wrong
so a lot of members include me can retweet it or to tell ouwer followers
the trued, i have a lot of respected followers in twitter and i bet others to!
we send out many tweets and posts on btctalk (were half over the size of the btc network)
the reason i send +- 350k to the digistats developers was because of the node story that i wanna
to use as a marketing tool. right now i feel sick because they think we are
scammers spreading false information.i really don't understand why we not pull back in the first
place when we spreading this news?

Again a few less it's not a problem but if we have just around 100 nodes then we need to correct it!

Quality developer speaking here!
Not afraid of telling the truth and admitting that the advertised nodes count was false. This gentleman is how transparant things must be done.
Can you please not avoid these question and be honest and tell me that the actual usuable nodes are not exceeding 100 nodes? So it is actual thousands lower?
Your honesty just made me but more Digibyte! Glad to have you in Digibyte.

I hoped that Jared would step forward with this information himself as he is my great hero.

Go away troll! Jared is one of the best dev in the world!
Jared, if you have time could you please address all my questions? Looking forward to it.
I am with Digibyte because of you so i think it is fair that i want a answer from you because i believe you.

I also need to filter out nodes that are of no use to the network but are still able to join it which for instance are android nodes, bitcore nodes and nodes running an incompatible protocol version. The earlier version of digimap did include these nodes so the actual count is more than likely going to be lower than was advertised.

Typically you would still only be able to reach a fraction of the network using the above method. You also should be forwarding port 14022 through your router and adding the line "maxconnections=100" to your digibyte.conf

The idea behind the map on digistats is similar to that of https://getaddr.bitnodes.io The reason its taken me so long is that there is no existing implementation of the getaddr protocol message for javascript (atleast that I know of) so that means I've had to implement much of the code myself. I also need to filter out nodes that are of no use to the network but are still able to join it which for instance are android nodes, bitcore nodes and nodes running an incompatible protocol version. The earlier version of digimap did include these nodes so the actual count is more than likely going to be lower than was advertised.

Currently the map does not search out any extra nodes but you can actually search for a specific node and it will then be added to the database by using the following API call
"http://digistats.info/api/nodes/search/" if digistats can connect to that node you will then be presented information about that node (version, subversion, height, geoip data). As an example I just manually added the node "111.107.49.171" so the map now displays 16 nodes.

Like I said its a fairly ambitious project and it will take some time for me to perfect all the different parts and my current focus is improving the explorer and API.

best community, best guys, best currency, best dev, best team, best price... Who finds the mistake? Only the market regulates who is the best, and everybody knows the situation. DGB is on place 61 http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/all/ this is not the "best" and if it continues like atm the market cap goes down to 250k, this is very bad. but people still share "+1" again and again, this is a little bit crazy.

A node is someone with an open wallet that has the full blockchain downloaded, which can communicate with other wallets.

Here's one way to get a list (it won't be a complete list of all nodes).

Open the core wallet. Leave it open for awhile. The longer you do, the more nodes you will get.

I opened mine for an hour and got 51 nodes. (Not everyone keeps their wallet open all the time, and you aren't going to communicate with all of them that are currently open).

When you have waited as long as you want, go to your digibyte data directory. It should be c:/users//appdata/roaming/digibyte

There will be a file called debug.log

In that file will be a bunch of data about blocks and such, several lines will look like this:
2015-07-03 11:55:46 receive version message: /DigiByte:3.0.3/: version 70002, blocks=987677, us=(your IP), them=73.198.40.189:12024, peer=73.198.40.189:12024

All you need to do is sort out these lines and count how many "them" IP addresses are unique.

screenshot, tcp-connection-list, ip-list ... something which confirms this.

Jared is one of the best dev in the world!

As a result, the node map on DigiStats indicates that there are 14 active nodes.  But, it's not accurate.  It's not fully implemented.  There are way more than 14 active nodes.  It's hard to say exactly how many nodes there are right now ... but the number was right around 3000, or slightly higher.

Here,Here! reading up on everything now but not gonna feed the .....
Jared is really busy atm and i sayd to him that there are some questions that needs attention on this forum.

Simply unbelievable...

Like I told everyone here months ago: Run, don't walk, from this thing...

But since you just choose not to, have what you so fully deserve. In spades.

Hi Altcoinfanatic,  You've asked a lot of questions recently.  I'm sure that Jared will address them the next time he has a chance to respond to posts.  Welcome to our discussion.  I'm going to do my best to answer a couple of your questions:

The Digispeed hard fork was announced earlier this year.  They are working on it.  It is complex and Jared has stated several times that they are taking their time to get everything right.  There is not yet an official date for when it will be released ... I'm anticipating late this year early next year.

About the language in item 1 of the Digispeed announcement.  "DigiByte block timing will increase from 30 seconds to 15 seconds."  Because there will be more blocks per minute I think it's fine to describe it as an increase.

If you look at item #5, it clearly states that the DGB rewards will stay on track.  In other words, the overall mining rewards will not change.  I assume if there are more blocks - at a greater frequency - the mining rewards per block will be reduced proportionally.  For instance, if there are twice as many blocks per minute, each block has half as much reward, but the overall rewards stay the same.

I'm not really sure how to answer the question about the mining rate doubling up?  DGB is a great coin to mine.  I suppose ofter the DigiSpeed fork, maybe the mining rate will increase.  However, technically speaking, the numbers of miners is not related to the block timing.

A little history about the node map and digistats:  In early spring 2015, esotericizm began working on the node map.  It was a project that he was working on in his free time.  Then, in late May people began work on the  DigiStats site.  Esotericizm also was part of the team working on DigiStats.  Therefore, they decided to include the node map in Digistats instead of having 2 different sites.  Digistats launched (officialy) about 2 weeks ago.  HOWEVER, at the time of the launch, they made an announcement that the node map and certain aspects of the block explorer were not fully implemented, and would be finalized soon.

As a result, the node map on DigiStats indicates that there are 14 active nodes.  But, it's not accurate.  It's not fully implemented.  There are way more than 14 active nodes.  It's hard to say exactly how many nodes there are right now ... but the number was right around 3000, or slightly higher.  

I have nothing but respect for the guys working on DigiStats.  It's a huge project and requires enormous development labor and upkeep.  But, just to be clear, the current node map on DigiStats is not accurate.  So, your friends who are telling you that there are only 14-20 active nodes are using bad information.  If I could give you an exact number, I would ... but, I think it's safe to assume we are still around 3000 nodes (give or take), and I'm sure that DigiStats will be a great long term benefit to DGB.

You also asked for transparency about the $250,000 investment.   And, you asked if Jared would disclose the details of the investment to trusted members of the community.  I guess I don't quite understand what you mean?  Like, are you asking if he'll send them a copy of the check so they can tell you it was real?  I don't believe that it is Jared's responsibility to disclose his private business details with anyone.  Buying a few DGB or mining DGB does not give any of us the right to demand or expect that Jared share his private business plans with us.  Jared is one of them most engaged, dedicated, and professional devs of any altcoin.  I think he already pretty much sets the bar in that arena.

Jared disclosed the basic information of the investment to the whole community in late 2014.  He, and the DGB development team formed a strategic partnership with Tofu Gear in Hong Kong.  One of the first things they did is release an iOS wallet in the Apple store.  They have been working on the DGB Gaming (the DGB Gaming Wallet is currently available). And, as I understand it, those are just the beginning.  They are working and developing.  There are some really exciting opportunities and projects for the future of DGB.

i fully agree. Digibyte needs to be marketed out. First Step.
And then, its all down to ease of use, convenience and location (accessibility and places to spend it).

The Digibyte Team is tackling all of that right now. DigiSpeed, Marketing, DigibyteGaming Wallet, etc. If you ask me, they could use some additional manpower considering the amount of work they need to do. Otherwise, we can only give them time and try our best to be patient and do our part as a DGB community. If Jared can't keep us updated every week or 2, i hope he can at least keep in touch with those well known members of DGB. like haliyno and 24hralttrade. they can spend time reading and commenting on the forum while Jared can cater all his time to the development and work for Digibyte.

lots of work to be done since Digibyte is aiming for the number one spot. Most of the core aspects of Digibyte were in the works last year and its still being work on to further improve it to keep up with the competition BUT mainly to be ready for global use. most of the new stuff we see this year were probably started on around the beginning of this year.

We can do our part as a community. And that is to create a lot of good noise for DGB. a lot of demand from other services to adopt DGB. so when DGB is ready to be fully launched, there's going to be a lot of services that we can use DGB for. Over the past 2 months (May and June), i have witnessed that several services have begun to adopt DGB thanks to the community itself. And it is still not enough.

Whether its Twitter, Facebook or any other social media, spread the word and keep hashtagging. keep the DGB Activity alive. the more it appears, the better. if you need to hashtag some weird tags, go ahead. people will be thinking "what is this 'Digibyte' thing doing here!?". Chances are, they are going to check it out. Even if they don't, we have at least succeeded in making them KNOW about something called Digibyte. After that, all it takes is just one more incident of DGB appearing in their lives like maybe one of their friends suddenly talks about Digibyte and BAM! It will stir their curiosity the hell out until they find out more about Digibyte.

we all know Jared is heading in the right direction. its just gonna be a slightly longer journey than some of us had expected.
Keep riding DGB folks.

Anyways back to topic. I do believe the commercial adoption and marketing of the coin is very important and something lacking. I am sure Jared has a plan and do believe the investment of 250K is real and valid. No doubt there. I was speaking about this to a colleague of mine. If you have the best burger in town and believe it can take significant market share, but nobody knows about it, how will you accomplish that? You won't. There are many great products and services out there that die due to high burn rate and not enough customer adoption.

The flip side of the coin is McDonalds. It clearly doesn't have the most healthiest and best burger, but people keep buying! WHY? Convenience, ease, location, marketing!

Need to apply this to DGB and make a stand. Too many global events going on to really push DGB to the forefront. Just need to think how can we do that with mainstream versus the smaller digital currency community.

Just my two cents.

Good for a laugh anyway.
