Digibyte.lol Digibyte has Jared who is a brilliant marketing person and the only real development to come from them is the gaming wallet.

Digispeed was a big hype con, after 6 months all they did was change the reward and block times and made out like it was the second coming of Christ but that goes to show how great a marketing person Jared is. Most people in the digibyte ANN think they developed Multi-Algo.

So true... Myriad was the first* and most multi-algo developments continue to come from the Myriad community. Digibyte is a marketing hype coin spearheaded by a dubious company that has tried to poach Myriad community members and dishonestly promote itself as the original multi-PoW, while hiding its premine and instamine.

What can I say? In any case, congrats to Auroracoin for hardforking to multi-PoW and good luck— in my eyes, this helps both Aurora and Myriad. At the end of the day, most people from the Myriad community just want to see 'the multi-PoW flock' succeed. Some of us might hold a few grudges against Digibyte's (possibly short-term) success, but the fact that there are now multiple implementations of multi-PoW means we're onto a good thing!

* technically Huntercoin was the first, but it's a very different concept.

With the $250k usd investment of digibyte Jared must be under huge pressure to make something happen. Without that investment digibyte would already be dead as a coin. Those trips Jared makes to countries like South Africa isn't free. Without all that investment he would be in the same situation as the rest of the alts trying to make it.

AUR doesn't have to answer to any donors like digibyte has. Jared will have to please this investor first before the users.
