Most wallets are crap build on crap... the Digibyte wallet is no exception in this. We are aware of that. That's why we have a few maintenance releases upcoming, to remove a lot of cruft that accumulated in time (check the official forum on plans and discussions around that). That having said, block times are no issue, for AUR sync times are not that bad (yet). For fast payments, use web wallets, or a payment provider that instantly confirms.
Such as ... ?
Biomike took the words out of my mouth. Balduro has shown to be a man of honor and kept his word all the way up to his (planed) disappearance. The only reason some folks in the Crypto landscape (read almost no Icelanders) still feel it was a scam is cause of the massive hype and pump that speculators (not the dev) started even before the airdrop started.
Yeah, I did some backreading. So this Bladuro has handed over the reamining AUR to the foundation, but not any other info to properly take over the initial ANN, so it could be corrected accordingly to the takeover. I do not know what to make of that. This Balduro wanna be some kind of Satoshi Nakamoto copycat?
I would like to add that we differ from DGB in two ways. First our 61 sec block time is substantially higher (over 4 x) than theirs, also we target a user base of only 330K, while DGB targets the entire world.
I think there's a bit of delusional here. Targeting the Icelandic people might be the target, but will that truly be beneficial to them? This coin is just as international as any other coin that exists. So likewise subject to multipools, pump and dump potentials, hypes, you name it.
So yeah, nice if the coin would be truly adopted in Iceland and the drive behind it (Icelandic people has had its fill with...). And than comes some whales along or a pump and dump group, making this coin their new toy to make some profits on. Has the dev team considered and wagered the ethics and risks behind this?
