Well if you keep the old chain and make it a succesful coin, you can do, look at the forks of Bitcoin like Bitcoin Cash. The fact, that some devs just change algo is a thing, that is completely against decentralization. For me, what they are doing is just a scam. Telling they replace these algorithms, but keeping SHA256 and Scrypt, and telling the reason is decentralization. I can imagine the reason: The devs have only SHA256 and Scrypt ASIC's... In the end, there cant be any decentralization at all, if the devs can just decide to change algorithm. What other proof does anyone need for a completey centralized currency? It is not even better as Mr. Mario Draghi telling the worl he is generating 60 Billion Euro each month.
Fact for me is, that i will not support Digibyte anymore. I will wait for a good price to sell and then sell all my digibyte. In my opinion, this currency has no future with devs like this. For the beginning i will concentrate on Verge now.

If I didn't read wrong, DBG will not "fork" as BTC/BCC: previous chain will simply die and there will not be any dev to keep it alive.
Except for surprises, of course. :-)
It's a pity, yes.

Thats what i mean. If there were any persons who would be able to keep it alive, there would be a split. Of course i dont know if there is anyone interested in. I do not have the ability, otherwise i would do...

I tried to talk with the devs in there official support channel. But they only start insulting me and deleted my threads. So there is not only no decentralization... There is also censorship. If you write something in there channel they dont want to hear, or they dont want the community to hear, they just delete it. In the end, i am happy to find out how its working there, so i can stop investing time and money in this project right now...

Hmmm, I too have been a huge supporter of DigiByte and do not agree with this. I have a batch of X10's that I was just getting ready to sell off for re-investment of more equipment. However, I will now hold off and research this more. I will fork the repos now into my Company Repo so I have the old code and will consider keeping the old blockchain alive.

Keep in mind though that it's not just that simple. You will still have to do some code configuration updates, list the coin on exchanges and be responsible for future updates and support. I have been working on a new blockchain whitepaper for two months now and initially wanted to use DigiByte as the coin, but did not want to fork. Now it looks like if they go through with this, I may as well just fork and use it as the base coin which will kill two birds with a single stone.

Thoughts?

I think that sounds quite good
