You also asked for transparency about the $250,000 investment.   And, you asked if Jared would disclose the details of the investment to trusted members of the community.  I guess I don't quite understand what you mean?  Like, are you asking if he'll send them a copy of the check so they can tell you it was real?  I don't believe that it is Jared's responsibility to disclose his private business details with anyone.  Buying a few DGB or mining DGB does not give any of us the right to demand or expect that Jared share his private business plans with us.  Jared is one of them most engaged, dedicated, and professional devs of any altcoin.  I think he already pretty much sets the bar in that arena.

Jared disclosed the basic information of the investment to the whole community in late 2014.  He, and the DGB development team formed a strategic partnership with Tofu Gear in Hong Kong.  One of the first things they did is release an iOS wallet in the Apple store.  They have been working on the DGB Gaming (the DGB Gaming Wallet is currently available). And, as I understand it, those are just the beginning.  They are working and developing.  There are some really exciting opportunities and projects for the future of DGB.

I will contact Tofu Gear by the end of this week and confirm the arrangement to settle everyone nerves, if I was Jared I would not have disclosed this information if it wasn't meant to get out it just creates unnecessary hype.

★★ DigiByte ★ 极特币★★ [DGB] ✈ ✔ $250,000 Private Investment Received

I would change the heading of this ANN.

Why would they change the heading?  The partnership is with Tofu Gear?  They didn't make the investment. 

I'm not sure that you appropriately used the word "everyone" in your post.  There's one person demanding something that doesn't need additional proof.  I've been a member of this community for a long time.  I believe strongly enough in DGB that I spent my time and money to found the DigiByte Group.  I believe it's a great community because we respect each other and we work together to support DGB.  But, part of that respect extends to the development team. 

As a community, the development team does NOT work for us.  We, as a community, work WITH the development team.

You all have no right to be accusing Jared of lying about an investment and demanding the kinds of information you are asking for.  There is no evidence to suggest that he has ever misled the community in any way.  In fact, all the evidence demonstrates that he is honest, professional, dedicated, and one of the best devs out there. 


Perfect response.
Completely agree.

And me!!
