The price will never rise until the community grows. We're all just the same people standing around patting each other on the back and holding on, as people slowly leave the crowd. Innovation is great, enthusiasm is excellent - but we need more people. Things gain value when more people want them. We need more people wanting DigiByte. I see lots of talk in this thread, but that's about it. Not much mention on twitter, the reddit subscription base is super small compared to how active this thread is, and even when something cool happens, like DigiShield - the culmination of grabbing that opportunity for promotion is a modification to the title of this thread and an internal celebration.

This community and team is competent, capable, and enthusiastic - but we're far too comfortable keeping this a member's only club. Open the windows and doors, fire up the signs, tell your friends. This coin will continue a downward trend despite development without social growth. I urge the development team and particularly the PR director to address this officially sooner rather than later. If the team does not include someone dedicated to promotions and projects for the marketing of DigiByte on a social-media wide level, it is my opinion that this should be the first order of business. A growing user-base should be the number one concern of everybody interested in DigiByte's success.

Yes, development of support services helps to convince people - but that doesn't mean we can't bring people in now. Tell them about those upcoming services, even if they don't exist yet. Highlight the current strengths and unique features of the coin (sensible/transparent premine, professional team, DigiShield, etc) and try to find ways to do it quickly, unobtrusively, inclusively. Giveaways, tip-fests on reddit, contests for user-created promotional content, etc. When trying to gain new merchants and developers for services, a large user-base is a great selling point on why they should care.
 
IMO without some more promotional support the community will continue to slowly dwindle, eventually passing a critical point where the core believers aren't around any longer to help growth. Every once in a while the coin will be used for a P&D and mostly forgotten. Many scrypt coins have followed this pattern, why should DGB be any different? Make it different.

Get to Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Tomorrow's update is a major one and it shouldn't go unnoticed. Keep spreading the word!

Emphasize custom anti-multipool code "DigiShield", block reward getting reduced by 0.5% every week starting next Friday, lead developer acting professional by releasing LinkedIn profile, and so on. Mentioning the increased value and volume should help too.

Total hash rate should increase significantly by tomorrow if we do this right!

Guys...is this calculator correct...or is something wrong here....

..everyone should use all their 'valuable' darkcoins to buy their way up to zero on c-cex...LOL....I always wanted to have to pay a coin to get me to zero...LOL...like having to reach up to flush a toilet...its so low right now...

I loved digibytes until I realize it is premined like hell. I still love it and mine too, but less. I think it is great coin.. I have good feeling from it, and I was stayed with it even if it looked lost last weeks. BTW, write more info about digishield at first page because I have no idea what it is.

coin was worth 200+at beginning then fall to around 60. So I think 140 is pretty good price for someone who buy and mine at 60sat. Do not judge people for dumping... it is just your gain. I made 120% profit.. it is good.

Why there is no pool on 1rst page?

Are you saying this is a good or bad thing?  I see mixed opinions on a coin getting picked up by Cryptsy.

hey any news on the android update? will it be avaible before digishield comes in?? and if not what should we do? not use the wallet?

eduffield,

I noticed you took ASIC-resistant out of the title. It's what attracted me here and, IMO, it should be kept there at all times and is the second most important feature of DRK. Certainly more than KGW, which is becoming common nowadays. VTC has shown that there's a demand for ASIC-resistance so DRK might as well advertise it.

Will be waiting to see if we get on allcrypt... Unfortunately, I can't afford to vote  

+1 Lets keep the votes rolling in!

I'd buy in!

Yeah that's not what he said though. He said one user is putting out that much, confusing it with the top miner on pool.darkcoin.io .

310 000 khash on the official pool is 0.3 Ghash, not 3.

anyone know why this isnt working? Miner simply doesnt start.

sgminer -o stratum+tcp://drk.coinmine.pl:6090 -u myuser.worker -p x --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1150 -k darkcoin -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 20000  --lookup-gap 2 --no-submit-stale --gpu-fan 85

One of the sgminers writes "Kernel darkcoin is experimental" and doesnt go on the other doesnt even start.

Care to share your conf settings? Im running at approx 1800 khash per r9 280x
