Opened my DGB wallet after two weeks and now I need to do a synch that apparently takes two weeks to complete... Did I miss something? Is there a bootstrap that would fix this extra synch?



The estimated time left isn't accurate in all cases. It should go much much faster.

DigiByte is the next coin to explode. It will go to one billion market cap until the end of the year. People already know and trust,
we only need more buyers and they will start to come. It is fast, it is Minable, it is old and reliable.

Well, not sure if it will go to a billion by the end of the year, but it seems to be going up now. Just hope to avoid an over reaction. Steady growth is better. If it takes 2 years to reach 1 dollar, that is just fine with me. Been holding since 2014 anyway.

Wow! This coin has a seriously huge community if I check the ANN topic right here. Any ideas about how it's going to surf this crazy Bitcoin waves?

Dgb usually does bad when bitcoin goes crazy, but it recovers at some random moment, like now. It is a good long term hold.

Today Valve stopped accepting payments in Bitcoin on Steam, and I have to admit that their reasons for doing so are completely valid. I'm posting it here because DGB is the coin I've been supporting and this can be seen as an excellent case study on the use of cryptocoins in the real world, which applies to all of them.

Steam is no longer supporting Bitcoin (8 Dec 2017)

Maybe the foundation could contact steam. Make the case for Digibyte transactions being fast and cheap. Fixing the problems that bitcoin has as a payment tool.

Hi, are there any upcoming events that could drive the price higher? Still thinking about selling with a loss or leaving it laying around for some years until it's finally worthless :-/

but what's the point of selling at such a price? There is nowhere else to go any further, but there are prospects for growth and quite good

What should an investor do with a coin that just moves down or stays at the same low area? Currently I do not see a potential move up as no sustainable development is/was communicated, or did I miss something?


Yes, for example:

I took some time to make a concept for a new digibyte wallet based on some competitor analysis and UI design trends. This is what I came up with. It is still only a concept and should be treated as such. However, the layout of this concept makes more sense than the original wallet design. I hope this idea will travel to the people responsible for the wallet update.

Feedback on the idea is welcome. My intention with this concept is not to tell anyone what the wallet should be like, but to give a fresh look on the possibilities. Maybe someone has an even better idea.



Aesthetically, your design is very much preferable IMO and something I’d hope, if possible, the developers will take on board.  
I’m certain, by being posted here; it is something that they can see.  Wink

file @ help menu missing though and these are very important places within the current wallet.  Smiley

Thanks! Luckily adding a help button somewhere shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, this the reason I usually don't work this way, things are forgotten when one designs without an actual process involving user research etc.

Edit: Also "file" can be put under settings in my opinion. Or settings can be changed to preferences etc. If the idea goes forward, I'll be happy to help working out the details.

I really like the initiative to change the look of the Digibyte wallet. However, I'd like to point out that the issues with the wallet go deeper than the colors. It is a common misconception that changing the UI to look more fancy, will increase the user's experience. The truth is that in order to achieve a meaningful and lasting impression on the user, the first step should be to think about the user. As obvious as that sounds, this simple fact is forgotten in 95% of the cases and therefore only 5% of UI updates are successful. I might actually be overstating the success rate.

Anyway, I'd like to point out some things to consider:
Who is the common user?
Who do you want to attract?
What does the user you want to attract want?

Currently you are making changes based on the wants of the current user, but not the needs of the current user. You're not making changes to appeal to new users, because they will see this and think it was always like this, and it is a bit confusing. Is it even safe?


What you want to do, is list the most important functions in the system and make them more visible. E.g.:
1. Available amount of DGB (blue on blue doesn't do it)
2. Send and receive
3. History (?)
4. ?

I'm not going to pretend I know what is most important, that comes from careful consideration and analysis.

Next, how do you create the best first impression? The user you want to attract wants to trust the wallet, this is really important in the long run, but also really difficult to achieve. You might want to do some banking UI competitor research.

The final thing: colors. Colors are only important once you've figured everything else out. The current approach assumes colors are what makes the UI good and starts from there, where as, the correct way is to finish with colors.

Now, these things only scratch the surface and real user friendliness comes from user research and understanding the needs and wants of the user. However, I understand that it might not be possible, in which case, your best bet would be to consult someone with expertise in the field. Personally I'd like to help, but I have no idea how to reach the people working on this.

Every newbie crypto investor invested in DGB. Don't do this guys. DGB just a shitcoin.
More than 90% of current alts are shitcoins but that doesnt mean that we cant make a profit on them or that any of them will last more than a year or two

Guys stop with all this nonsense . We saw the biggest companies like Lehman Brothers , Enron and more collapsed like nothing within hours , how do you define what's shit what's not. What proves that BTC will survive at all ? We don't know what will happen tomorrow . DGB it s a great project and the few coins that today are on the tops are benefiting of marketing effect having BTC as king of publicity without offering anything really strong compared to others . Just make sure you diversify your portfolio not to put all the eggs in one basket and we have to wait and see. No one can say today which coin will grow and survive even (except the small project). Tomorrow someone can come up with a great idea and change everything .

Exactly. No one knows what is the best thing in crypto. Many of the top coins are old technology that just somehow remain. Bitcoin being the oldest and it is hard to find a worse coin technology wise, to be honest. Therefore, the reason Digibyte has been my choice of coin for a few years now is the development team. They innovate in the face of adversity and help others like Dogecoin. Nothing about the current technology in an open source project is truly worth investing in. What is though, is the people behind it and their ability to react to changes that take place in the field. This is what Digibyte has been doing since year one. That is why I trust the currency.

can it not be truth AND hype? Smiley

given your link didn't actually show anything about jared being invited made it look like you where trying to hype with no proof, discovered proof pretty quickly after saying that thou hence the edit. and wouldnt slow growth be better then hype buying.

Certainly I agree with you regarding slow growth. I just find it rather ironic that despite 4 years or so of Jared & the team laying all the solid groundwork and slogging away day in day out, it was hype buying that seems to have gotten DigiByte noticed in the crypto world.

It's outside of crypto that DigiByte needs to be noticed though of course, and there will be no shortcuts there.

Well I'd say there is the short cut of, say 60 billion market cap Smiley But, that ain't gonna happen for a long time, so not really a short cut either. But true, ironic indeed that Digibyte got noticed for a "meme contest" and Digibyte gaming right about the time it went on hold. And still people don't understand why they should own Digibyte. I don't know what people want.

We are very pleased to introduce you to your very own DigiByte personal AI assistant named Emma. She is currently available on Telegram @DigiByte_Emma_bot and on DigiByte.co

You can PM her now and find answers to many common DigiByte questions.

Our goal is to transfer as much DigiByte information as possible to Emma so we can provide the community with 24/7 support and answers to everyone's questions in the most direct real-time way possible.

Over the past few weeks, we have been absolutely slammed with messages. From outpourings of support to technical questions and even to the prospect of awesome partnerships with new DigiByte users. It was starting to consume 100% of our time and we want to make sure we respond to everyone no matter what their issues or questions are as quickly as possible, yet we are still able to continue innovating and making DGB the best it can possibly be. 

Emma is designed to help lighten the communication burden for everyone. This is the very first version of Emma. Over time her DGB Knowledge, AI and usefulness will grow. She will get smarter as she learns from interactions and her capability to be of assistance to you will continue to grow as well.

She will work across multiple platforms such as Telegram, DigiByte.co, Twitter, email and more. We also will be exploring the idea of integrating her with products such as DigiExplorer as well as others.

Stay tuned for more DGB news and we would love feedback on Emma!

Nice idea! However, I ran into a usability problem on my first try. I tried asking it what is digibyte and it completely disregarded my question and started by introducing itself. This is a bit weird, am I supposed to say hi to a bot when I first start interacting with it? Nevertheless, I think it will offer quick answers to many who need quick answers to FAQ.

First off, thank you to all the long term DigiByte supporters and a very warm welcome to all the new DigiByte community members here!  Things have been very hectic the past few weeks.  

This sudden rise caught all of us by surprise as much as it did some of you.  If you look at the history of other major crypto markets as well as the history of DigiByte you can quickly tell things can get volatile very quickly. So please make sure to take the time to fully educate yourself on cryptocurrency trading and blockchain technology in general. And please note we do not answer speculation questions or make forecasts or predictions. We are here to focus on the core technology and the true innovations and applications that blockchain technology allows us to build.

We are actively working to expand the team and get better organized. The recent Citi Tech 4 Integrity Challenge was a great event for DigiByte! We were told that we were one of the finalists in the competition and it was a tough decision for the judges that day.  However, the competition is not over yet.  The main awards will be concluded in July where over 60 awards from several of the main partners will be awarded.

We made several great connections with some very large companies. However, please understand it takes time for things to move forward with such large organizations. Please do not expect anything to happen overnight.

Most blockchain businesses are flooded at the moment with a backlog of news users and messages. So please understand we are working to get through the 1000's of messages we get each day across all our social media including Twitter, Telegram, Reddit, Email and here and more. It is a very exciting time but there will be growing pains!  

Finally, a few housekeeping notes. All recent orders on DigiByte Market will be refunded due to the recent price fluctuations. We also want to point out the dev team is not the organizer of the meme contest or the developers of the Minecraft server. So please direct your questions toward the appropriate organizers of those projects. Thank you all again for your continued support.  As stated, many, many times over the past 4 years. We are here for the long haul!

Cheers,

Jared



Thanks for the update. The community needed this currently due to all sorts of things going around.

Ye unfortunateluy I went and bought it on the high at it's ATH and had to sell it on the way down before it crashed. I am so curious why people sell so fast and just all dump together? Is this an inside job or just the usual irrational trading from the holders?  Cry

You answered your own question. What you did, is what is happening.

So I'll just leave this here. I don't think the Citi thing is over (from what I can tell). Maybe someone can elaborate more on this?

https://www.techforintegritychallenge.com/awards/



It is not, there are about 30 prizes Digibyte can still receive. However, no one should expect that Digibyte will win anything. If they do, that is great! But the important thing was to get to the finals.

so long DGB you were great the best pump i ever rode. Bought in at 100 satoshi sold at 2000. If i would ever rebuy maybe at 300 satoshi. So many bad news/fake/. See ya at the bottom DGB.

People who keep up this kind of negative hype or whatever you want to call it, make me want to see a huge pump soon just so they can watch Digibyte rise. But then again another fast pump would mean another fast decline sooner or later.

Sometimes being a long term investor is harsh.
