Just installed the Digibyte core wallet, and I must honestly say I am not impressed by it for several reasons. Correct me if I am wrong but
- It takes at least 20 gigabyte disk space?
- For each and every transaction you have to use a different address? (very inconvenient)
I hope I am wrong, but this should be more clear if Digibyte truly aspires to be adopted by the masses, at least make a wallet that functions properly and is clear and easy to use... must say I am dissapointed now and don't know whether I will continue to invest in this project
You don't have to use a different address each time but it is good practice to do so from a security point of view.
So correct me if I am wrong, but this means that if I send Digibytes from my Bittrex account to the address of my wallet, that after I have done 1 transaction I should make a new address send the remaining Digibytes to this new address before I can do another transaction? really?
No. It is up to you. The more addresses you use the harder it is to trace the ownership of the DGB. You can use one address forever but it makes it much easier for someone to track the coins to you based on activity.
I don't care if they track me since I do nothing illegal, but is the Digibyte wallet unsafe/vulnerable for hacking if I use the same address multiple times?
No, that has nothing to do with the wallet being hacked. Feel free to use the same address over and over. I reuse addresses frequently. I don't give a crap who can track me either as I do nothing illegal also.
Okay, thanks for helping me out. I must say I am surprised by the fact that Digibyte puts a lot of effort and energy into promoting their coin while the basic fundamentals (a quick and easy wallet and a basic instruction manual/video of the wallet) have not fully been established yet. The wallet really needs improvements otherwise the masses will not want to want it...
What are you trying over here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl98iqScsioDigibyte just released the Gaming wallet and as you all know there is more to come.
The mass is not ready for cryptocurrency in general,Digibyte is preparing to be ready for the masses,Not something thats done within 1 week and i'm sure you know this already.
Yes I understand evolution takes time. I just installed the Digibit Wallet, it's much better and faster than the core wallet in my opinion. However I am a noob when it comes to Digibyte, I don't even know the difference between a core wallet, a gaming wallet and the Digibit wallet. Anywayz the Digibit wallet looks exactly like the Multibit wallet so that looks pretty familiar
. Thanks for the video btw, looked for an instruction video before but couldn't find it.
The core wallet (DigiByte-QT) is a fully validating wallet. It works as a DigiByte Node. It validates transactions and blocks and works to provide a foundation for the DGB network. The user wallet client features (send receive and manage) is just part of the function.
The mobile wallets don't act as full nodes. Earlier this year DGB released a mobile wallet for both iOS and Android. I currently use the mobile wallet for iOS in addition to running a couple of different Digibyte-QT wallets.
The DGB Gaming wallet is the newest ... just released in the Google Play store and as a Chrome Extension ... and soon to be released in iOS and (I think) as a desktop client. The DGB Gmaing wallet has a few features that the current mobile wallet doesn't have ... but, in effect, it's sort of the next generation of the existing mobile wallets.
You should use whatever wallet you like the best. And, always feel free to ask any questions you have. We're always happy to help.
