That's me. One of the friends of mine who's still in crypto saw the posting about me and brought me back. as far as my original account goes, it got hacked and so i had it reported. As i said earlier, im out of crypto, i dont hold any, i dont trade any, i dont mine any. I occasionally work on the odd crypto job as and when i feel like it for old times sake, but not enough to take on a project like DGC full-time again.

Hate to say it, while DGC is still dear to me for the time and effort i put into it back then, I dont have the time or the willingness to sacrifice my already poor health to DGC right now.

Perhaps, i'll check in occasionally to see how it goes, when i get some time, i'm willing to review whatever's been done so far, but for the most part please count me out. I took on DGC initially because it was one of the first coins i bought/mined/ran a pool for, and Baritus dissapeared like he always does leaving it nowhere. after the power struggle of TSquared trying to force the coin in another direction, DGC was put to rest.

But, i'll make you all a deal. inspire me with a new use for DGC. If you all can do it, i'll happily come back to work on it.

IXC was the best merged-mined coin in existence (credits to NMC for that too)
MYR with its multi-algorithm mining was a great idea (and a credit to HUC for it)

DGC at the moment has nothing going for it, multi-algo was something i added years ago, and masternodes has been done by another thousand+ coins.

Ahmed

I have no idea if you are the real Ahmed Bodi or not.

Regardless, if you are a competent developer I have been promoting the idea of a real ai coin which will get developed eventually, but so far nobody has started one.

It would not be that hard for a developer to make a simple prototype, using code from old coins like huc, moto etc. The initial prototype would fail because once it was adequately made it would get co opted by much better made copies. So it would not be a great get rich quick scheme, but it would jumpstart the shift to genuine ai coins, which is quite urgent.

edit to add

Here is a general outline which would be a good 'starter coin' for that kind of coin. I am not a developer, but I am also not a web master, so here is a poorly written page that outlines it https://tribalcash.org/artificial-intelligence/coins/how-to-start-an-artificial-intelligence-currency.html

It is not well written but it tries to present the basic idea, which is very simple and a variation of a lot of other things that are done.

Scroll down to "Steps to create a simple ai currency."

The biggest step is creating an initial low quality basic coin using a simple science like math, and then getting other coins to copy or make similar coins which are a little better.

The key is that the development be such that any group of people can create a closed version, or clone whatever version is available if they are not developers.

This will give small groups outside the global melting pot framework the ability to both create a local economy and develop some science witthout outside interference.

An easy way to jumpstart might be to start with a chain like Xaya which is sort of built for something like that, but it would require a developer. Whether you are Ahmed Bodi or not doesn't matter if you are a developer. Vlad has been around a long time and would work heavily if the project involved dgc, and I have some of both coins so I get a payoff on Xaya or dgc. I don't know if it would be possible to create a mutant coin that took advantage of Xaya functionality along with a benefit to dgc bagholders. Either way, all development should be with the intention of attracting copycats to make their own versions with more resources, better coins.

If we were to do that using DGC I’d close source it. Why give our edge sway. Trust me, Bitcoin and most surviving coins will eventually go closed source. Open source was great to speed up the initial process however.

Obviously nobody is going to want to use a closed source coin.

The 'closed version' just means a coin run by a group of people on their own network, for their own purposes.

The corporate/global economy is a monolith, and crypto is becoming part of it. Code, networks etc are so backdoored that basically the entire economy, including crypto, is an easy way for the status quo to not change.

I personally am skeptical about the security of all public key cryptography and a lot of other things used in crypto, but the big issue at the moment involving crypto is the utter uselessness of most of the coins people are wasting time on.
