Jared,
Wonderful work you have been doing. Really appreciate the continued transparency. Here are a few questions:

1) Do you still have your marketing team/social media person that was
announced about 6 months ago? If so, what are they doing? If not, are you
hiring somebody for that?

2) We need to have a marketing/pr strategy, who, what, when, where, why,
how? Who do we contact for exposure, what do we stress to create buzz,
when are we going to do it, where are we going to do it, and why are we
doing it?

YC

Simply unbelievable...

Like I told everyone here months ago: Run, don't walk, from this thing...

But since you just choose not to, have what you so fully deserve. In spades.

Go away troll! Jared is one of the best dev in the world!
Jared, if you have time could you please address all my questions? Looking forward to it.
I am with Digibyte because of you so i think it is fair that i want a answer from you because i believe you.

Since when is Jared the developer of DGB? He is the owner, not the developer. He never said once he was the developer of DGB.

Please note that no one owns DigiByte. There are several developers who have contributed to the core DigiByte code base. There are many other fantastic DigiByte supporters who have contributed to DigiByte in many different ways.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And we encourage everyone to research things for themselves. We are here, we are moving forward and we will continue working hard every day. In the mean time we are not going to get weighted down on this forum with rubbish while we can be working on important things to move DigiByte forward. Its a much better use of our time.

Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting DigiByte.

Don't mind the troll Jared! You are a great dev and doing a great job!
Jared, some questions if you do not mind:

1 Could you please comment on these additional protections (explicit comments and no talking around it)? If they are true, we should do marketing with it. If they are not be transparant and just say there are none.
2 Can you tell me if we were a scrypt coin (litecoin clone) and then you asked 8bitcoder (dev of myriadcoin) to change digibyte to myriadcoin clone (multi-pow) for you? Or did you do it yourself? There are rumours that you "helped" but the actual work has been done by 8bitcoder.
3 Currently, an attacker can 51% attack the network with roughly 60% of SHA256D and nothing else. After this change, an attacker with 90% of the SHA256D hashrate and 33% of each of the other 4 algorithms would have insufficient hashpower to mount a 51% attack. Is this true? Source: https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/pull/36

Would love to answer these questions.

1) Could you be more specific as to which protections you are mentioning? I am assuming you mean multi-algo related specifics? Also including DigiShield (difficulty retargeting, asymetrical adjustments).

2) Originally we modified Litecoins code and then later on came up with DigiShield which was later implemented into Dogecoin and several other coins. 8bit did not do the code transition for DigiByte. However the Myriadcoin code base was very helpful to us when making the multialgo transition as a reference. Most development work for DGB has been done by myself with heavy lifting by xploited. We were the first coin to fork from a single algo to multiple algos. This caused some unique difficulties. Myriad was launched multi algo. We however have spoken with 8bit on occasion and shared ideas, especially right after their time warp attack. I do recall reaching out with a few questions to him as well over time. He is a very talented developer and the brains behind the original multialgo. There have also been several other people who have contributed helpful code to DGB. All of this is visible in the commit history for DigiByte.

3) In theory yes this is correct. However until its in the wild we will never know for sure.

Esotercizm is a great dev who has contributed much to DigiByte. We are glad to have him here.

Any other questions we can answer for people?
