Topic: "If you were the President of the DGC Foundation, what would be your next step?" - page 4. (Read 6318 times)

What have you guys accomplished in the past ~2 years I have been out? Cliff notes please. 

There were some good folks I met in irc, but I had enough drama for one summer by the time cryptoave tanked.

Do not quit. The current dev team is doing a great job, and DGC is the only alt I'm invested in. I believe the main thing that made people turn away from DGC was the price plunge from the high 40,000's, when I myself bought a lot of coins. I still have them and keep buying more whenever I can. Anyone who can't deal with that kind of thing should stay away from any market that involves risk, including traditional stock markets. I'm almost glad the price dropped as it did because that made the "get rich quick" parasites leave the community. The keyword here is persistence. I can see Digitalcoin becoming more and more relevant in the long run. Just stick to what you're doing and we'll get there eventually.

Looks great simontower!

Would urge you to reconsider your position on DGC. Good team, good guys, making a lot of progress

Done. I hope You will pleased. 

I also dropped DGC after that fiasco, it was blatantly obvious what was going on. zakryze was kind enough to show a lot of us on irc some convincing blockchain proof. Coming on the heels of the Inputs "hack" it just didn't feel right.

We should probably sort these into categories to make it easier to read

We also have quite a good number of merchants.
You can check them here: http://wiki.digitalcoin.co/index.php/Where_to_spend_digitalcoin

I want it out in the open. Post it here.

For every "baritus did XYZ" and "I don't trust baritus because XYZ".....I challenge you to a debate on our IRC channel or on this forum. I want it out in the open.

I asked BCX to participate in this thread. I want everything, absolutely everything out in the open.

kelsey, would you be willing to join our IRC channel and hash this out with me personally?

Forget baritus. This isn't about baritus.

Talk to me. What do we do to make it right?

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. What basis do you have (or proof) to make your claim?

There are 3 ages for altcoins ( According to me)

1) 2011 - March 2013                - Birth of Altcoins
2) March 2013 - November 2013 - Altcoin Settlement
3) November 2013 - Today        - Advanced altcoins

Since DGC was in age 2 , it didnt need antyhing except good dev and community. It had along a time both. Once dev screwed everthing with his projects ,  people lost their interest on it - including me. If everything was OK, maybe DGC was still one of the mainstream altcoins with its brand name and community. But it wasnt the case. Anyway , past is past. Below tells what was my plan for DGC

So, what are the criteria of being a successful cryptocoin. At this point I agree with coblee. 3 things - as all we know: Liquidity , merchants and users.

1) Liquidity: The most important part is liquidity. I know lots of altcoin has also very low volume. You should keep volume at certain level like 20 BTC. You dont need to pump just keep some BTC for DGC and buy and sell at certain levels. For ex:

Amount: 500 DGC ; Buy @2000 ; Sell @ 2050
Amount: 500 DGC ; Buy @2051 ; Sell @ 2100
Amount: 500 DGC ; Buy @2101 ; Sell @ 2150
.....

I used this schema for decreasing the average cost of my some old altcoins but it also helps to volume of that coin. Yes , there are some risks that some one can dump lots of coins. But someone should keep the volume as high as possible.

Also, there are some efforts for decentralised exchanges. For example, Mercury is one of them . Its on alpha stage and mappum -dev- doesnt want to add low volume coins but since  it can be forked , you can add DGC once its ready to use. And becoming first coins of that kind of exchanges also boost the volume -I think.


2) Merchants: I think I have different ideas for that issue. Lets accept , DGC is stuck in cryptocommunity. Its very hard to get new users and merchants from this forum. So , you should look from out of box.

You should concentrate on the brand. DIGITAL. So , you find digital community to use DGC for digital goods. I dont mean btt. Other options.

For ex:
1) Agree with some game operators. Try to accept them to use DGC in their games. Ogame, travian etc.
2) Find/Create a VPN service which only accepts DGC (or other than bitcoin) .
3) Agree with some billing payment service to use DGC. So people can use DGC for bill payments. (Or other prepaid services)
...
The list can be extended , its all upto your imagination. But you have to find a GAME CHANGER service/activity which does not exists here -btt and current crypto community.

And also , you need a very good liquidity (volume)  after one of the above service is realized.

3) Users : I believe this part will increase when 1 & 2 happens. Of course , you will need marketing.

But , I dont think you need intensive core development. However, service based development or service adoption is the key for success of DGC - if there is a chance.

I intentionally dont use , If I became ... because I wouldnt and even if I became , I quit. Its very hard to back good old days but not impossible. If you have dedication and some extra abilities to arrange some contract with people who are infamiliar to crypto but in digital world , then you have the chance. And I really hope , you can do this.

Yep im ahmedbodi. Still no one answered the question. who took to DDOS?

Ahmed

I'm sure he meant stay on topic and don't digress.  And that goes for everybody who posts in here.  There are plenty of baritus threads that you guys can post in. 


-tb-

Someone told me he is Baritus 

Why do You so angry to DGC? If You had some problem with Baritus, find him and tell him. But what is the main reason of Your frustration against DGC?
I don't accept anything what related to Baritus, because he vanished.
Do You have any problem with Kenel, AhmedBodi, Xawksow, CoHe, Cosmo, Techbytes, Samson, Vinje, Wolf, Trenal , CptSoloMiner, Joeyjones or with me?(sorry if I missed someone) Are You hate the single miners?the supporters?
