Glad to hear the various algos. I believe these were the best from the beginning. Very excited to see the official release!
The algo change will get miners back on DigiByte, and I think that is paramount right now. Everything else with great care, lots of study and analysis, and even more due diligence.
I sure hope so... I miss mining DGB. Something uniquely satisfying about getting thousands of something in your wallet each day, even if they aren't worth much right now, but the "what if?" factor is a powerful motivator! So, for the moment I am using NiceHash to rake in a few BTC but once the update is out I am ALL IN again with DGB mining.
This is a very valid point! This is why we feel multi-algo (not merge mined) DigiByte mining is the fairest and most attractive way to go. As such we have decided to finalize the update with Sha 246, Scrypt, Skein, Groestl & Qubit. Proven weighting with some tweaks. As well as a modified DigiShield re-targeting base.
