the bump delete bump delete bump by cosmoo is a lame way of trying to stay on page1.  How about releasing some of that 'coming soon' info instead.

Fun times, thanks to Final Hash for organizing the conference!

Cheers. Nice to see some of our DGCF members attend the Hashers United Conference. Thanks for the info and photos TT!

I did end up taking some photos after all.  There is a nice thread about our trip on the Digitalcoin forum.

I don't think I will take pictures.  I'm sitting in a seminar at the moment, but I talked to Marshall earlier and he said all presentations would be available after the show. Also, there are professional photographers here, so should be lots to see very shortly.

Really cool to be here, and one of the most interesting things so far is that Genesis Mining just announced that they will be offering a cloud hash solution where you can switch your hash between SHA256, Scrypt, and X11. Also, you can apply percentages of hashrate across all three. Eventually this will be automated so that hashrate can be switched across the three algorithms based on certain triggers.

More later.

Thanks for the update. Take lotsa pictures for us, it'd be great to see what's going on 

Kenel and I are meeting with Ahmed today/tomorrow in Las Vegas and we'll update folks within the next few days. We also plan on meeting with some other folks to discuss mining and hardware. Hashers United should be a great venue for crypto enthusiasts. We met tonight and had a few beers, and we hope to have a very productive next couple days.

Looking good, glad I have been buying more!

Thanks for posting! The devs have a working port of the multi-algo swap, a windows executable has to be built and then hopefully we can get a public testnet up sooner or later. Right now believe it or not both the active devs are on vacation, Ahmed_ is in vegas with kenel for the hashers united conference.

Anyway I'm not a dev I just talk to them occasionally, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Signing on IRC is the best way to know wtf is happening at the very moment
Come talk to us! This channel has never been completely dead, though make sure to wait at least 15 minutes after chatting for a response as is the nature of IRC.

This was and still is a good coin and also one of my first i purchased. I sold all my digital coins months ago but i still keep this on my radar. Hopefully they can get there act together the current dev.

I still think merge-mining with a slow turn towards PoS is the way to go, we can always change the algorithms later on should ASICs get developed for them.

I'd like to get a public opinion on how difficult it may be to change the client if merge-mining is implemented; so long as we're not locking ourselves down we can change whatever we need as time passes. It might be nice to increase the rewards later on too, if the coin gets popular enough it'd provide incentive for people to go along with the update.

BCX, we're working on quite a few things both on the coin itself as well as creating an actual market where the coins can be spent on things other than exchanges for bitcoin/other alt coins.

I'll let the guys in the foundation that are much more technical than I respond to this with those technical aspects...but.....a question for you....

We're open to positive ideas from anyone that would like to contribute as we're still in development....Do you have any suggestions for us?

It was 80 cents briefly, really no different that what's usual in altcoin markets. Now we're back at a penny, 150k-200k market cap, the foundation alone probably accounts for that much so it's pretty much guaranteed DGC won't be falling below 1500 sats.

Yes, Bitcoin used to be $1 each but it was a long time ago

I was talking BTC price.

If I remember correctly, it was almost $1 at some point? Thats got to hurt.

The price was $0.006 per coin earlier today, that's the lowest I remember seeing it at any time in at least a year.

DGC's only for anybody who managed to get a few at the lowest. It will just keep floundering in the lower levels before becoming completely irrelevant.

Great response that furthers the discussion immensely.  Title of the thread is 'DGC discussion' not 'DGC fanboy wank only'.  Maybe you can't understand criticism from someone who mined DGC from Day1.  With the suggestions I have seen you support then DGC will be for nobody soon enough.

Cosmoo asked why not many posts in this thread...my answer was genuine...there are ~500 altcoins and people go from pump to dump to pump to dump with attention spans of days.  DGC hasn't done anything YET to create any attention from either new investors/miners nor has it done anything to win back its original fanbase that left after becoming disheartened that Baritus was just another scam dev like most of the rest. 

How many people have posted in the Elephant Coin (ELP) thread this week?  Most likely noone because out of sight out of mind.  You may have not even known about ELP...just like many people do not know of DGC because it just hasn't been newsworthy.  Actually the fact that BCX is after both Monero and DGC is the ONLY thing that might get you noticed these days (until you actually release real 3.0 news) and is likely going to bring you the most new faces.  You should thank him for the continued attention.   

Do something other than the hints that something is 'coming soon' and you might get some interest. 

That's true, but obsessing over one mans development to be the sole fuel for a cryptocurrency's market is absurd, especially when all the active altcoin markets are either the super early adopters (LTC, PPC) or the results of rampant manipulation. Regardless of the initial dev's lack of 'promotional development' DGC has always been a coin with decent standing, there is plenty potential for it to be utilized and that's what the current foundation is trying to achieve. To be blunt, there is continued interest in DGC so there's still good chance something can be achieved with it.

The current price on DGC is an attractive entry point for newcomers, hence this thread. We're not trying to paint ourselves as the next 'solution' in cryptocurrency, plainly WYSIWYG.
