reddit, facebook and twitter can be really useful if you find a way to make those 3 more active. Not everyone is on BTCtalk, so we need to post more things on the reddit page

hi  anyone know what happened to theblocksfactory pool?  thank you

Discussing here is much like keeping it private. The bitcointalk thread is very little telling about the activity of a coin. Go to the reddit and, d'oh, there's 1 comment a week? this coin is dead! Who do you think is going to check here and there for all threads talking about DGB? For a newcomer dgb looks like an empty shell, and they turn away.

If we do stuff on reddit, and involve the shibes too, you'll see the community grow for real. Staying here won't bring us anywhere. there's like 3 people (me included) active on dgb reddit. It looks like there's only a dozen digibyte cultists, while it's not so (heck, we're about as popular as dogecoin  on facebook), at the same time most coins try to make it look like they have a bigger reddit community than they do.

Reddit is THE coin spread medium, besides direct buisness interaction. I believe digi has a bright future as the "serious", more buisness oriented brother of dogecoin, but only if the community opens itself up a bit!

For as much disdain as I have for reddit (I think it's juvenile, but I must admit that from what I've seen others say in recent months, and from the little I've actually read over there, I think it is improving) and for as much respect as I have for BitCoinTalk, I've got to recognize that, on balance, it's probably not a bad idea to get something going over there (and hopefully we can help reddit to mature by keeping our standards over there just as high as they are here).

Good idea, but (and at the risk of being repetitive) I think we should make an effort to stay away from gimmicks.

Running short on pools....anyone have one even if its private...prefferably P2 in USA somewhere?

Check on BirdonWheels5's P2pools.  You can find more information out by going to http://birdonwheels5.no-ip.org/home/NodeList.html

I believe the nodes are based out of the Boston, MA area in the US.

I reckon that's it for my DGB mining. I kept my 35-40Gh/s on the pool for a while, but now I'm not really pulling anything in.  I fare better mining BTC

Are you still experiencing this issue?

I myself am willing to put some 5-10k doge and 10-20k digibyte for a start. Of course I can go further than that, but my objective is that we give a small tip (50 doge, 100 digi) to at least the first 100-200 people.
Most giveaways on dogecoin subreddit give somewhere between 10 and 100 doge so I suppose it's a decent amount.

If you add a similar amount it'd be great to have two (or more) tippers, it sure helps lighting things up! But I'm not sure we should try  to hand out a really large amount, giveaways are about being nice, not "buying" people (ok we're still talking cents but tips always look bigger than they are ).


Digibyte is already popular among shibes and they love giveaways, so IMO to publicize the giveaway for them is probably an overkill (I'm sure they'll come here in the hundreds). It's not an overkill to look for digibyte fellows, though, because we are lacking here I mean having a dozen digibyters and a hundred shibes coming to say hello if fine, but if we're 3 it's a bit of a letdown!


Well let's do this, I'll make another post on the subreddit, outlining my own "plan" a bit better, and asking when how and if you (I mean any digibyte fellow) wish to contribute. You can answer here too but it makes things a bit messier, if you can drop on the reddit post it'd be nicer, I'm not sure who's who as I suppose some of you here posted on reddit too, with a different nickname. I suppose many of you are a bit perplex about my idea I hope some more details will clarify things (ofc everything is up for discussion!).


PS: I noticed there's a tad more activity now on the subreddit, which makes me happy


oh BTW I'm assuming @DigiByte dev's quite busy these days, but there's an unaddressed pull request here https://github.com/digibyte/DigiByteProject/pull/15 (it's not mine and I didn't test it, just pointing it out)

This is awesome to see the community rallying together! We are working hard on numerous things as we speak. We definitely would contribute some DGB toward a giveaway!

Thanks for pointing out the merge request! We are doing some analysis on the code base to see how we can improve it & fix some of the issues we are seeing. It is much better to package several updates in a new wallet release than to release several wallet updates back to back.

We are currently working to bring on new members to the core DigiByte & DigiPay team & getting them up to speed (they are from outside the crypto world). We have an exchange in alpha right now and we have several other very exciting things we will be announcing in the coming weeks. We are working on getting the Android, IOS & Electrum wallets finished as well as stamping out the BitTrex issue, the RPC sendtomany problem and the coin maturity issue (all related).

We want to begin building momentum! Lets keep the awesome conversations we have been seeing about various topics going! You guys rock!
