Bittrex has disabled the BTC-DGC market and the wallet has a connection to that market. I don't know if the "market" piece of the wallet can be disabled, but starting it off line is a good workaround to at least get it started.

You're correct. Very little activity, mainly because there is no dev currently.

DGC is a good coin, and would be much better with a dev who could spend some time on it and give us something to be interested in.

There is no pump. DGC has had a very stable price for a long time. Always around $.01.

Just repeating what I've heard. Admittedly I really don't know much other than what I've been told.

I don't know why you're quoting that guy, but I was asked to engage with him by multiple people. One thing for sure though, is that you're still trying to keep people away from DGC and I don't understand why.

Whether it's code or attitude, not sure, but comments like this:


And responses from potential developers like this:


Have made it very difficult for DGC to evolve.

Blockchain Mechanic, if you do decide to work on DGC, feel free to call on me for any assistance I can provide. There are likely still a few supporters who may also be willing to help in any way they can.

TT

I should have just kept my comments to myself.

Many people, including Ahmed, spent valuable time and energy working on DGC.

I was heavily involved in what I thought was an effort to establish some mainstream legitimacy for the project.

Only plan, ever, was to make DGC into a well functioning respected currency, but as Ahmed says I'm a second class citizen because I have very little coding knowledge.

After spending hundreds of hours and a ton of money, I've taken to the sidelines. No real plans at this point except to continue keeping things alive waiting for someone to take some interest.

I do still own a little DGC, but never owned more than 5% of the total supply. Now it's maybe 2%.

TT

I know you're not referring to me. You and other "devs" were happy to work on the coin as long as you were getting paid, but other "devs" called your work amateur.

What ideas did anyone force?

Domains, forum, block explorer, and the last remaining permanent node (the one that allows the android wallet to remain functional), are all still active and up to date. No thanks to devs who were driven away.

Thanks for your assessment.

It is very difficult to accumulate this much DGC, even over time. Because like myself, anyone who holds any significant amount of DGC is unwilling to sell. If someone has the wherewithal to develop and promote this coin, it will easily go over 6K satoshi, where it was just a few months ago. It's been much higher than that in the past.

The Chinese market is much more liquid, and would sell on BTC38 if I wanted to unload, but that's not what I'm trying to do here. This sale is for a dev or group who wants to put some effort into it and multiply their investment.

TT

Have had some unrealistic offers, so still looking for the right person who can turn Digitalcoin around.

TT

I am sad to say it, but I no longer have the time to be active in the Digitalcoin project. I've always admired this coin and many of the people involved with it, and still feel that it has significant potential, but it really needs someone to spearhead development and advancement, and when that person or group gets behind this coin, it will go far.

In order to encourage involvement by someone with the desire to advance DGC, I am selling my entire stake in DGC as one lump sum totalling approximately 1.1M DGC or 4-5% of the current supply, for 40 BTC. As an added bonus, buyer will receive ownership of digitalcoin.org domain name and the @DigitalcoinORG twitter account, at no extra cost.

At present I am unwilling to sell less than the full amount, or negotiate on price, but may be willing to do so in the future so feel free to make any offers.

Price is subject to change based on significant moves in DGC/BTC/USD exchange rates.

Please PM or post here if you have any interest.

TT

Wish I understood this better. Can someone explain?

Seeing a couple announcements on Chinese exchanges.

UPDATE

Digitalcoin qt wallet deserves some attention. There is one small bug and some unfinished functionality, plus a facelift would be nice. Looking more and more like this will happen soon. Details as more become available, and more community input is welcome.

There has been ongoing discussion regarding core updates. Currently planning on making changes to the difficulty adjustments to correct block time irregularities, and a possible change to the block rewards that will not change daily coin production. Current approach would be more of a 3.1 update while setting up for V4.

Actual difficulty adjustment techniques are being considered by people much smarter than myself, but the intention is to smooth the block times which vary too much, and improve the overall performance and stability. All opinions are welcome.

TT

Thanks for your efforts Tyke. Very much looking forward to this. If you need any help proofreading any drafts, please let me know 

TT

Nice expression @motorhead89

I feel the same way.

Slow going, but still going for sure. Getting closer every day to beginning the next updates.

It's a shame on the entire community that innovation and hard work is met with attacks and thefts.

When someone works for several years, with peanuts for profits, then realizes he's become a target for nefarious actors, I guess this is the only option.

Seeming more and more that it doesn't pay to be fair and honest, and crooks are the only ones who succeed in this space.

Downloaded!

Thanks techbytes!

I've never fully understood how POS works, but it seems like POS/POW hybrids make a lot of sense from a user perspective.


Has the blockchain finished downloading for you?

TT

Agreed, and very much in favor of exploring this further. There has been discussion around this topic on the Digitalcoin forum, but limited input.

TT

This is the most brilliant post on this thread.

Bravo!

TT

Been wondering same.

This is the latest official ANN.

Oldest that I'm aware of is:

Topic: DigitalCoin.Co | Secure. Established. Active Development | v2.0 Released!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209508.0

This was started by baritus.

After that came:

[DGC] Digitalcoin 3.0 | Multi-algorithm, Improved Blockchain Storage | RELEASED!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=785601.0

This was started by kenel

So in order to be able to keep the OP updated we started this one, and a few of us have access to the Digitalcoin Foundation user account, so we shouldn't have to create another ANN if one person leaves.

We do use the Digitalcoin forum a little more than BCT. https://forum.digitalcoin.co

It's called buy and sell orders. Not sure there are too many other options for trading.
