Again there is a post deleted,, 

WOW youre the best mate

Bring in more investors thats great! I like hearing and seeing videos.. I dunno why but a video or a real life appearance always feels better then a post on a forum lol

Hi HR.

You and I already had this discussion a couple of months ago.  Therefore, I'm not going to rehash my earlier comments.  We're pretty much on the same page already.  However, I would add an additional idea ...

The keyword that I believe is missing here is "e-commerce" ... the average person doesn't understand - or care to understand - how data is encrypted and sent. Instead, they're interested in use.  I don't give a shit about how my bank encrypts my data, I only care that my experience using my money is easy and secure.   The paramount use of DGB is micropayments and e-commerce.   DGB brings secure, and fast, payment and e-commerce solutions to both individuals and enterprise.  It's not important if it is cryptographic digital currency.  The average-joe nomenclature should be about use ... secure, fast, e-commerce payment solutions.

But, I do still like your cryptographic terminology for the more technically minded people.

Hi halinyo,

First - I figured I'd leave the requote Jared's earlier message ... it's great to be a part of the DGB community.

My response here is about the reddcointalk.org and hashtalk.org forums ... you've mentioned them twice (just now - and a couple of weeks ago).  I'm about 99% sure that both of those forums use the service Vanilla forums.  Their theme is exactly the same.  I like the feel of the homepage - it feels more integrated and accessible.  But, I don't like the style of the post pages ... they feel hard to follow and clunky (at least to me).  But, they do have some nice features.  The big problem is that Vanilla forums are expensive ... their basic plan is like $199 a month ... and as we grew ... we'd probably have to upgrade to the $600/month, or eventually even thousands of dollars a month.  It's just not a feasible from a cost/benefit perspective.

We might be able to create something similar - using drupal - but it would require some advanced drupal skills (far beyond my knowledge of drupal theming - probably with some custom modules).

I wasn't aware that we were looking to change (upgrade) the existing DGB forum that was completed a couple of weeks ago.  It's seems to be fine.  As I mentioned then, I'm not a huge fan of the simple machines forum software.  I don't have anything against the basic structure of simple machines - it works - its stable - it's widely used.  If, however, we are seriously considering an alternative to the existing forum, I might suggest the following:

We could consider phpBB ... it's a solid, open source, forum software, but it also has many extensions and a few good (and seemingly easily managed) themes.  Most of the extensions (plugins) are free, but there are a couple of plugins like the twitter and facebook integration (I think that's like $150) ... still, I imagine that we could all chip in and purchase that software so that we could use DigiTip directly in the forum.

The phpBB forum has a look and feel that is closer to this one (that is to say closer to the simple machines forum).  If we really wanted to develop a forum that looked more like the Vanilla forums discussed above, we could probably use wordpress and BBPress ... and find a easy, good wordpress theme to manage.

As I said above, drupal also has a built in forum module ... and an advanced forums module ... and probably a drupal-based forum would be the most flexible and advanced - but it would require some intensive development and specialized oversight.

I like the idea of having the ability to add features, change themes, develop and grow. So, I like the idea of using a CMS (drupal or wordpress).  There are some other options that would be available (or at least possibilities).  However, the phpBB forums also have some flexibility with add on functions and themes ... I've never set one up ... but reading through the support pages, they seem straightforward to manage and develop.

Anyway, as I said above.  We have an alternative forum.  People post there.  I've posted there.  I'm not sure (at the moment) we should be reinventing the wheel.  

I agree that the explanation is not simple, nor is education on the subject, not by any stretch of the imagination, but, ultimately, it is impossible to get away from since it is the central and defining aspect of what a cryptographic digital currency is. For as much as we'd like it to be easily understood, even to the point of trying to simplify so much that we almost end up ignoring it, it just isn't possible.

That shouldn't be seen as a negative however, rather it should be seen as one of the cryptographic digital currency's strongest points: it's the very nature, the extremely complicated nature, of the cryptographic digital currency that makes it the most secure and unbreakable digital currency it is.

By definition it is complicated. If it weren't, then this would be a non-starter to begin with. We can't get away from that fact, and, if we want it to succeed, we can't get away from explaining it either.

So why not get it up front and center so that people will at least have something to work with when trying to understand it? By simply googling "cryptographic", the interested person 'stumbles across' a wealth of information that serves as a wonderful starting point. On the other hand, if the defining characteristic of DGB is hidden, their task becomes all that more difficult.

"Digital currency" is already understood by most. It's a fairly easy concept to grasp, but so is its inherent vulnerability. Helping people then to understand cryptography, and the defining role it plays in cryptographic digital currencies, is the next logical step in demonstrating what the critical addition of cryptography means for a digital currency and why it's the game changer that turns a digital currency into a real means of exchange.

HR,
 While I agree with the basis of this, we must think what normal consumers will interpret this as. Will they really know what a cryptographic protocol or crytographic digital currency is? We need to embed the idea around something more common.

I don't have any suggestions or recommendations yet, but you are on to something.

As you know, I've made a point of suggesting a rethinking of our naming conventions, etc., a few times here in this thread. As you also know from reading this thread, my suggestion for a standardized descriptive title for serious crytocoins, that is for those that are really treated with businesslike professionalism and not as two bit teenager huckster funny money, would be "Cryptographic Digital Currency".

I've yet to see anyone explain why we shouldn't call DigiByte a "Cryptographic Digital Currency", nor have I seen a name that better describes what it is.

What is the difference between BTC & DGB and a simple digital currency? The Cryptographic element, of course.

What makes BTC & DGB secure ways of storing wealth and making payments? The Cryptographic element, of course.

What makes BTC & DBG real and tangible units of value? The Cryptographic element, of course.


I think we need to seriously debate our nomenclature.

Unfortunately, "cryptocurrency" has earned itself a very bad reputation and negative connotation. Nevertheless, every cloud has its silver lining, and cryptographic digital currency just might be a much better name anyway since it positively builds upon a previously understood and positively accepted concept that has been improved upon, made better, and, ultimately, brought to fruition. The casual reader might even see digital currency and cryptocurrency as separate and independent things, and incorrectly so. One is a positive building upon the former, the final extension of what was necessary to make "digital" money "real" money, and, as such, cannot be simply referred to as "digital", but must have the descriptive qualifier to set it apart and clearly show the world what it is (and what it's not). It's an impossible to counterfeit digital currency made secure by means of a cryptographic protocol! What's the best name for it?

Jared,

I think you should seriously deal with this matter, first by contacting the moderator who deleted the post (made in your own thread by the way), and then by moving up the hierarchical ladder if the response you get is not satisfactory.

Deleting that post is completely uncalled for and unacceptable, and you should really pursue the issue.

Good luck with it.

HR

Funny how the public perception of Bitcoin is that it is the currency of crooks, now the bankers have taken it over, the public perception would appear to be correct! The playing field has never been level and dirty tricks are all they have because DigiByte is TRUE! 
Supporting DigiByte will help DigiByte to support you and every little miner that joins our network helps us secure what we are doing here for everyone and with 5 different algorithms for mining, we actually mean everyone! 

When people see you as a threat you know you're on the right way

Hey Jared,

It is really weird why someone should remove your comments... If we had to move to a new forum...
Then I suggest we create a more interactive forum like reddcointalk.org or Hashtalk.org style.
I am happy to sacrifice a few DGB for it... I think that will be great if we get such styles...

I think you are the one who leads on this... If you move, we all move...

My original post was deleted, glad you quoted it Halinyo.

Apparently certain people are having fun deleting posts on here. Even more of a reason to switch to http://DigiByteforum.com
