Re: ★★DigiByte|极特币★★[DGB]✔$250k Investment, DigiByte Gaming, #DigiByteTip, DigiSpeed

nice improvements
the only reason i didnt add DGB to my crypto portfolio until yet
is the missing hybrid POW/POS and a constant POS income

maybe u consider this

and i will add DGB side by side with DMD to my portfolio

Definitely have to agree with that. The addition of POS would be a dramatic enhancement of DGB's appeal.

AFAIK there is no altcoin in existence which is multi-algo POW / POS hybrid. If DGB went down this route it would be a first. Shocked

Will the dev-team consider Cryptonit's suggestion?? Huh

It was already discussed, this issue is a non-starter, multi algorithm pow is more secure. There is no benefit to Digibyte changing to pos other than a short term pump.

There is however a very big marketing benefit for a coin that consumes less of the planets coal powered electricity. Green credentials are a consideration when looking to achieve mass adoption IMHO.

Never say never. Right?

We've had several community conversations about POS. I believe that the one we're referring to here happened back in February of 2015.

At that time, I posted a response that outlined my objections to POS. You can read it here:

I still have the same opinion today. I would point out that I didn't entirely rule out the option of a POS system with DGB. I simply suggested that we need to think about the impacts from an economic perspective rather than from a technical one.

When I founded the DigiByte Group, I made a promise that I would never attempt to use my work with the Digibyte Group to attempt to influence development decisions. As a result, when I share my opinions here, I feel the need to qualify them by saying that I believe Jared always works toward thoughtful, considered, and professional development that benefits DigiByte. I also know that he has in the past, and continues today, to evaluate all the options, including POS, and if he believed that implementing some form of POS were in the best interest of DGB, then I would fully support the decision.

I will address the environmental question in a separate post.
