15) How can documents be embedded in the DigiByte blockchain?
Using digusign service.

16) What is the command to reindex a DigiByte wallet on windows?
-reindex

17) What is a DigiByte node?
Any PC that connects to the DigiByte network (USING SYNCED DGB WALLET, END INTERNET CONECTION) is called a node.

18) What is the command to reindex a DigiByte wallet on Mac OSX?
-reindex

18.5) What is digibyted?
OSS deamon/client for DigiByte

19) What is an RPC command?
Remote procedure call (RPC) interface for various administrative tasks, wallet operations, and queries about network and block chain data.

20) What is digibyte.conf?
It is a configuration file with variosus data used for DGB wallet.

21) What is wallet.dat?
It is a file that contains a collection of private keys.

22) Where is wallet.dat stored on windows?

24) What is the most useful RPC command?
-rpcpassword

25) What is a difficulty adjustment?
Difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target time.
Network adjusts the difficulty automatically to ensure that a block is solved DGB around every 15 secodns.

26) What is OP_RETURN?
OP_RETURN is a script opcode used to mark a transaction output as invalid.

27) What is the difference between a full node an an SPV wallet?
Full nodes download every block and transaction and check them against COINS core consensus rules, SPV wallet (Simplfied Payment Verification)
is a  method for verifying particular transactions were included in a block without downloading the entire block. The method is used by some lightweight Bitcoin clients.

28) What is a deterministic wallet?
Deterministic wallet is a system of deriving keys from a single starting point known as a seed.
The seed allows a user to easily back up and restore a wallet without needing any other information
and can in some cases allow the creation of public addresses without the knowledge of the private key.

29) Explain the difference between a public and private blockchain
A private blockchain is just like a public one when it comes to the distribute aspect of the data,multiple computers (nodes) are comneceted
through a protocol and they exchange transactions and help mentain a common ledger.
Unlike a public one the private blockchain is behind a firewall and can only be mined by computers that are on that network.
It is also generally used just within a company, behind their firewall and is only available to the emplyees and systems on that company.
You can say a public blockchain is a democracy where all the computers and organizations decide together where they are going and what changes to implement.
In a private one, there is generally a dictatorship because everything is owned by one company.

30) Explain the difference between a permissioned and permissionless blockchain
PERMISSIONLESS
In order to contribute to the processing of transactions and have your ‘vote’ counted, you do not need a previous relationship with the ledger,
and your vote does not depend on having a prior identity of any kind within the ledger.
PERMISSIONED
Transactions are validated and processed by those who are already recognized by the ledger.
Your vote counts proportionally against everyone else’s, based on the specific rules of the ledger.

Poloniex, Bittrex, Shapeshift

Current reward is 1410 DGB per block.
1031 DGB

MY DGB WALLET IS : D6fPbC6FvPcpKiqTDCFSVatLfvf71WVh1g

I HOPE YOU WILL ADD AT LEAST 2 ZEROS TO THE PRIZE :-)

I wasn't at the conference.  But, from what I've heard, Jared gave a great presentation on the role of public and private blockchains, and how DigiByte works to provide solutions and services.  Those are the facts.  And the facts don't have anything to do with hype or marketing.

Congratulations Jared.  It's great to have an active developer who contributes to the larger perspectives and approaches that shape how consumers and companies adopt digital currencies. 

I think it's a testament to Jared's professional management and development that he is not trying to hype up his contribution for personal gain.  It would be tacky and unprofessional if he were at the conference trying to pump up the exchange value of DGB.

The conference was March 3 and 4.  I just got home from work on Friday, but as I write it is 2:00 a.m. in Johannesburg.  So, the meetings wrapped up the the second and final day.  People went to dinner, then they went out to have a few drinks to celebrate.  I hope Jared went out on the town and had a great night to celebrate a great conference.  If I were going to the conference I would have extended the trip through the weekend to have some time to see the sights for a couple of days.

It's amazing that people are upset that he didn't run back to the hotel room to get onto to babysitTalk to help you clear your open orders on poloniex.  It's not his job to help you profit from trading.  He's doing a great job contributing, building services, developing, and defining a professional standard for digital currency applications.  It should make us all proud to have him as a developer of DGB.

Congratulations to you again Jared.  Hope you have a great trip.

I liked the digireport , some good information about future plans and incomming updates.

I will probably make it such that its compatible with most versions or maybe i'll make two one specifically for the old pi and one for the new one. You shouldn't really need an excuse to get the new one though, the rpi 2 is AWESOME

Guys how useful would a raspberry pi image that's loaded with all the necessary components of a DigiNode be? If there is enough demand I'll get on it.

My answer is simple 2 words panic mode if ur a pro you will understand if not u ur a fish and shut read some post i post before print it out and read it loud amateur.

HELLO JARED!

STOP DELETING MY IMPORTANT POSTS

For those that are interested we are sending 140 txs per second over the test net: http://45.33.31.149/blocks and the network is handling it beautifully with 15 second blocks.

Insert nonsense here.

The digibyte.co slideshow works fine for me, Anyone having the same "bug"?

Question 1 answer none BTC is far better than DGB

Question 2 exact same answer

Your a troll judging by the posts you have made you have obviously bought in far to high & now want out

I have investors .....yep heard that one so many times its getting painful to read it now
