Re: [ANN][DGC] DigitalCoin.Co || Instant | Stable | Reliable || New Marketplace
Awareness of this coin still seems low - is there a good post for why DGC is better than WDC that I can refer others too? 
It does not exist. DGC is merely a clone of WDC. The only differences are the block reward and the block time.
It's actually a clone of LTC if you examine the source, with several parameter changes for the better.
Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 3.5 * 24 * 60 * 60; // Litecoin: 3.5 days
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 2.5 * 60; // Litecoin: 2.5 minutes
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 2.5 * 60; // Litecoin: 2.5 minutes
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 0.35 *24 * 60 * 60; // Worldcoin: 0.35 day
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 15; // Worldcoin: 15 sec
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 15; // Worldcoin: 15 sec
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 6 * 60 * 3 * 20; // digitalcoin: 6 hours
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 1 * 20; // digitalcoin: 20 seconds
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 1 * 20; // digitalcoin: 20 seconds
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;
The DGC block reward is far more practical at 20, WDC produces way too many coins per hour which makes it cheap.
The only thing I would like to see changed in DGC is the number of confirmations increased from 4 to 10, with a 20sec block rate this is no big deal, but it would inspire confidence in people that understand the probability of a double spend attack.
