I would go so far as to put "would not let it fail" in positive by saying instead that the commitment was such that they "would only accept success". Unlike the vast majority of coins that were created on the lark with the expectation that they would be able to survive "just because they existed", DigiByte's founder and dev team have been constantly and continually working on creating a digital currency that people will actually use. There's a world of difference between a basic alt-coin with its own blockchain and little else, and a functioning digital currency! A digital currency that will actually be used needs to be much more than just a simple blockchain of cryptographic hashes. While most see it as the final product, the "genesis block" is truly nothing more than the starting point. Algorithm modifications and bug fixes are little more than routine maintenance and basically reside in the starter's box as well. Creating a digital currency that is widely accepted and widely used is another matter completely: this is where hard work comes in, like being one of the few digital currency developers who attended the first ever Digital Currencies Convention for Bankers, and little ol’ things like that. Jared's commitment from the very beginning has been to create a real digital currency and he’s been out there in the real world working extremely hard to make it happen doing all the right things to add value and create the necessary infrastructure. He’s identified an opportunity in the micro payment sphere and has set about doing the job in a professional and businesslike manner - exactly what you’d expect to see in a successful business start-up - and that has been, and will continue to be, the major difference that puts DGB in a league all by itself.
