What is DigiSpeed Hard Fork v. 4.0?
DigiSpeed will allow DigiByte to match Visa in transaction carrying capacity!
1) DigiByte block timing will increase from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
2) DigiByte block size will increase from 1 MB to 10 MB initially, with built in future increases.
3) Custom block propagation code based upon Microsoft research will dramatically increase network efficiency.
4) DigiByte transaction capacity will increase from 140 TPS to 5800 TPS (Visa averages 1736 TPS).
5) DigiByte reward will stay on track for 21 Billion DGB in 21 Years.
6) MultiShield will be improved even more to allow for even greater security (90% of 1 of DGB's 5 mining algos, plus 51% of others will be required for an attack) making MultiShield even more secure.
These changes will make DigiByte the most secure, fastest and largest transaction carrying-capacity, decentralized, POW cryptocurrency in existence.

I think DGB don't need this fork even if it's still on track to happen (I don't think it's the case). Now correct me if I am wrong but DGB is able to process today +500 tps and next year it will double to +1200 tps. This is sufficient to go mainstream. I don't see DGB to reach visa's adoption at anytime in the future but will occupy an important place in the payment systems . I believe to have 10% of the visa's market in 3-5 years will be for DGB an uncrushable victory and with the capacities of this coin, DBG can well cope with 200-300 tps - no need of any forks. DGB secured a good place in the future already with the infrastructure it has but also thanks to many other factors such as reputation, security, community. No financial advice , but personally I forecast that around 10 bln $ market cap by the end of 2018 and why note 50-100 bln in 3 years conditional upon having the total cryptocap at 3-5 trillions .
