And it's normal for child molestors to molest children.

Remember, you vote in the marketplace with your money and/or participation. When you do business with someone, you are supporting that entity.

Does DigiByte want to be associated with these types of people?

They're using fraud to try and get trojans on people's machines for god's sake.

Normal for them? Does that mean it's okay for you?

HR, This is normal on the kickass website, Why they do this i dont know but yeah this really is a danger for everyone that uses kickass for the first time.
Always use the download torrent link 

DGB excellent....i would like to use DGB....

The large link leads to an .EXE as does the kickass link on the webpage I posted in my reply. I see that the small download button indeed leads to a torrent that downloads the .dat file.

Also, thanks for your answers - they have been most helpful - and good luck with your idea about becoming a Ubuntu maintainer. That would be fantastic!

BTW, the .EXE at the end of those other links was this: https://www.virustotal.com/es/file/b7c26bbe67595fca7eb14c5f01df42bd0b6f75f266cda3e592b4fb671e49f33c/analysis/1427800699/ (Panda shows it as clean on this report, but it was Panda that flagged it on my laptop!)

Here's a full screenshot of that download page. Easy to confuse, wouldn't you say? Doesn't say much for kickass.to. I think you're right about recommending mega.co.nz (that one's even questionable though), but if you become an Ubuntu maintainer, all these other issues will be moot.

the above link should not lead to an EXE at all. My guess is you are clicking the wrong download button.



I will look into becoming a maintainer for Digibyte on Ubuntu. I've never done it before but if I can get it going it will be as easy as 'sudo apt-get install Digibyte' for ubuntu/debian users. But in the short term I'll put together some detailed install instructions or a script that will automate the entire process.

But yeah the initial sync will take a couple of hours at least. The only way around that at the moment is bootstrap.dat or use one of the other wallets. It's a problem Bitcoin core only just managed to "solve" a month ago.

The original link posted in this thread does not work.

The link you posted above leads to an .EXE file that is flagged as being a hacking tool.

The same happens when you download from the kickass link on this page: http://torrent6.com/3a1d3dd3e2c99ed6453f61d40dad5e0fd903ec00

@esotericizm, most end users don't build - they want something to install, can you put that together? Or maybe something more user friendly with detailed instructions for Linux? Also, you say your installs work correctly. Is it correct to say that the initial sync takes around 2 1/2 hours?

Thanks for addressing these issues and questions.

Lol yeah,, i deleted my utorrent after they included the bitcoin miner.

Bit old now and is showing as 0 Seeds (there may still be DHT peers). It maybe a better option to host them on a cloud hosting service like mega.co.nz in future. But yeah this is one I created a couple of months ago.

Digibyte Bootstrap DL link.
http://kickass.to/digibyte-bootstrap-dat-blocks-2015-02-04-blocks-0-555000-t10171940.html

The bootstrap.dat torrent I posted earlier in the thread will work on any Operating system, be it Windows, Linux or OSX.

If you build the linux wallet from source it should operate exactly how you expect it too. I have both digibyted and digibyte-QT working perfectly on a Virtual  Machine.

Jared you may want to take a look at Bitcoin core 0.10 and their 'headers first' implementation. It will give a similar result to Digibit in that you only need to download a percentage of the chain in order to be up and running.


Edit - I'm stuck on 3g until my ISP can fix my phone line so I cant upload another bootstrap.dat but you can easily create one on windows with the following commands

Open command prompt and CD to the digibyte app directory



this will concatenate(link) all the blk000*.dat files into a single bootstrap.dat file. You can then simply place the bootstrap.dat file into your Digibyte appdata directory and the Digibyte wallet should pick it up on first sync. As above this bootstrap.dat file will work on any operating system no matter which OS generated it. One thing to note is that if using bootstrap.dat I'm fairly certain the block folder needs to be empty (as in no existing blk0000.dat files).

As a temporary measure Jared could even bundle bootstrap.dat into the Digibyte Installer and then offer that up for Download as a "Full Install" of Digibyte Wallet but it would depend on hosting requirements.

Exactly, A fake reputation with fake ID is easy to make. Form a group with 20 people and you control that area. Give eachother a good reputation and you are ready to go.
The idea really is great but the trust level in this needs to be so high. With no central bank or something similar its just to easy to rip off a good trusting tourist.
(No saying it's not happening now )

ADDED
But if you can get stores accepting this thats something diffrent.
Let's say, I accept this in my store.  
Offcourse i already have something to check fake money and the trust level in a store on both sides are already some steps higher then some random guy on the street.I dont want to rip people off in my store for a few bucks and get a bad reputation.


So what about this,
A person comes to my store, He can withdraw money for Digibytes,He already is in my store so the possibility that he buys something is also very high.  +/+ situation for both.
I create a litepaid invoice link with the ammount he wants to get in cash.(If i want euro's for the Digibytes,Or else just use Digiticker.info and calculate how much Digibytes he needs to pay for the ammount cash he wants) Did the customer buy something i will not count any fees.

Litepaid deposits my money on my bank account and the customer gets his cash money right after the payment is done in my store.
I dont have to pay fee to deposit my cash on the bank  (6 euro for each deposit   ) and the customer walks away with a trusted feeling not being ripped off.


Did we just create a exchange office for Digibyte?

Yeah, I don't know, but my first, very superficial, read brings me to a similar conclusion: it's something like eBay, using a reputation system, but what's to keep someone from building up a good reputation and then making off with a good stash one fine day?

Nevertheless, they are getting rave reviews, and that's usually not for nothing. I think we've got to look at this closely. There might be something there we can use.

It really is intresting what they do and i will follow this closely but it´s all about trusting the "buyer" & "seller" in my eyes.
In some countries you cannot even trust the exchanges over there.

Just a example,
Deposit & withdraw
A: real money,How can i be shure i dont get fake money from a unknown person.   Need to check every bill with a UV light or something.
(Also the other way around, If i want to deposit 200$ and do this by a teller. He needs to be shure i dont give him fake money.)
b:Not gonna rob me,He can get me to a place where everything is a setup and me as a tourist dont know anything about that place.
(Offcourse this is also the other way around..I can rob that guy because i know he haves some cash money.)

For me,, Money and a unknown person. Just so hard to trust.

All I am saying is while the industry is young it's easy for these pump and dump groups to make money off low supply coins like DRK/DASH. Look at Doge, even though the marketcap is increasing because of the rapid increase in supply the value is staying around 50 constantly.

I dont believe the amount of supply has anything to do with manipulation.... If someone wants to manipulate, they will do it. It depend how much percentage of DGB they have, so supply in this regard, does not matter to me. And actually, when we see the mass adoption, manipulations may increase a lot.... Or huge dumps coz the industry wants their DGBs in dollars..... So from this point of view, we cannot have a direct relation, supply and manipulation.... It just depends on many of these factors, to me the most important one is the current price and people interest... Thanks.

Most of the coins with low supply are easy to manipulate to higher values. Digibyte has to be looked at as a long term investment as I am sure you do see it that way, because of the amount of coins the price will also be a lot more stable then bitcoin when mass adoption occurs.

They won the LAUNCH Festival 2015 and are getting lots of favorable press. (More info on the LAUNCH Festival can be found here - previous winners include DropBox and Stack Overflow.)

Looks like they are leveraging their work-out-of-the-garage image as well.  https://www.goabra.com/about.html


They are definitely doing what we are doing and it would be very wise of us to study what they are doing very closely and go over it with a fine-tooth comb. Nobody ever said there would be just one winner in this space - look at MasterCard and Visa, for example - but three might be a crowd - look at American Express. We should learn what we can from them and not be afraid to adopt ideas that convince us and work.

I never try to reinvent the wheel and always accept other people's good ideas (even when I wish I had, and sometimes wonder how I didn't, think of them myself).

Great to hear that you're working on improving the Linux client. It should be more than worth it; even though it looks like we still don't have that many Linux users, that will certainly change in the future.

HR,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have experienced some issues with syncing ourselves. We are looking in to setting up a bootsrap.dat as well as some other ways to "prune" the chain.

If anyone has any good resources or information on potential "pruning" options they have come across we would love to hear them.
