Fed up with doge, don't want to be a joke, you know what to do!

I bow and take my hat off for you sir!  
You rock Jared but we all already know this!

This looks good buddy! The book will help to spread the word about DigiByte.

Tipped you a lil, better than nothing.

I have been notified it will be the 1st of May (Friday).  Thanks for your support

lol i am not being interviewed in the video

ha ha ha he he 

Hey Jared,

It is really weird why someone should remove your comments... If we had to move to a new forum...
Then I suggest we create a more interactive forum like reddcointalk.org or Hashtalk.org style.
I am happy to sacrifice a few DGB for it... I think that will be great if we get such styles...

I think you are the one who leads on this... If you move, we all move...

Funny how the public perception of Bitcoin is that it is the currency of crooks, now the bankers have taken it over, the public perception would appear to be correct! The playing field has never been level and dirty tricks are all they have because DigiByte is TRUE! 
Supporting DigiByte will help DigiByte to support you and every little miner that joins our network helps us secure what we are doing here for everyone and with 5 different algorithms for mining, we actually mean everyone! 

As you know, I've made a point of suggesting a rethinking of our naming conventions, etc., a few times here in this thread. As you also know from reading this thread, my suggestion for a standardized descriptive title for serious crytocoins, that is for those that are really treated with businesslike professionalism and not as two bit teenager huckster funny money, would be "Cryptographic Digital Currency".

I've yet to see anyone explain why we shouldn't call DigiByte a "Cryptographic Digital Currency", nor have I seen a name that better describes what it is.

What is the difference between BTC & DGB and a simple digital currency? The Cryptographic element, of course.

What makes BTC & DGB secure ways of storing wealth and making payments? The Cryptographic element, of course.

What makes BTC & DBG real and tangible units of value? The Cryptographic element, of course.


I think we need to seriously debate our nomenclature.

Unfortunately, "cryptocurrency" has earned itself a very bad reputation and negative connotation. Nevertheless, every cloud has its silver lining, and cryptographic digital currency just might be a much better name anyway since it positively builds upon a previously understood and positively accepted concept that has been improved upon, made better, and, ultimately, brought to fruition. The casual reader might even see digital currency and cryptocurrency as separate and independent things, and incorrectly so. One is a positive building upon the former, the final extension of what was necessary to make "digital" money "real" money, and, as such, cannot be simply referred to as "digital", but must have the descriptive qualifier to set it apart and clearly show the world what it is (and what it's not). It's an impossible to counterfeit digital currency made secure by means of a cryptographic protocol! What's the best name for it?

I agree that the explanation is not simple, nor is education on the subject, not by any stretch of the imagination, but, ultimately, it is impossible to get away from since it is the central and defining aspect of what a cryptographic digital currency is. For as much as we'd like it to be easily understood, even to the point of trying to simplify so much that we almost end up ignoring it, it just isn't possible.

That shouldn't be seen as a negative however, rather it should be seen as one of the cryptographic digital currency's strongest points: it's the very nature, the extremely complicated nature, of the cryptographic digital currency that makes it the most secure and unbreakable digital currency it is.

By definition it is complicated. If it weren't, then this would be a non-starter to begin with. We can't get away from that fact, and, if we want it to succeed, we can't get away from explaining it either.

So why not get it up front and center so that people will at least have something to work with when trying to understand it? By simply googling "cryptographic", the interested person 'stumbles across' a wealth of information that serves as a wonderful starting point. On the other hand, if the defining characteristic of DGB is hidden, their task becomes all that more difficult.

"Digital currency" is already understood by most. It's a fairly easy concept to grasp, but so is its inherent vulnerability. Helping people then to understand cryptography, and the defining role it plays in cryptographic digital currencies, is the next logical step in demonstrating what the critical addition of cryptography means for a digital currency and why it's the game changer that turns a digital currency into a real means of exchange.
