They are trying to do so... it's now a race versus the clock.

Ofc I made several faults too, but when I see one I try to correct it.

I'm a french speaking man, that's why I litterally translate this as "race vs the clock". But I think that "race against time" is the proper expression

1-1 => equality

I think the multi algo will do wonders for DGB. More mining, better pricing and security. We have a winner here. Let's stay focused on the prize.

Nor would I. Merging dilutes a coin's identity and that translates into less brand awareness. In this world, being unique brings attention and in the crypto world, attention generally brings acceptance and value as long it is the right kind of attention.

I doubt the algo changes will do much in the long run, I hope I'm wrong BTW! IMO, what REALLY is needed, algo or not, is community support and continued marketing by the Devs. Unexpected change raises warning flags and scares people off.

Oh, and did I say marketing? Lets be clear, "if you build it they will come" DOES NOT work here. It's more along the lines of "if you build it and, work your asses off to promote it and, market it to every processing company and merchant you can think of, they will slowly trickle in"

Patience + hard work + dedication = payoff. Period.

I really like DigiByte, I think it can have a great future but, we must not loose sight of the road ahead. Personally, I plug Digibyte every chance I can everywhere possible. Honestly, I hold several coins that I believe have a future and I promote them all.

So, I'll keep mining and buying and we will see what comes of it. The current problem will be quickly forgotten what everything works again as long as the price doesn't bottom out in the mean time.

Hats off to the Devs and others burning the midnight oil to get this sorted out. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and that fits crypto-coins perfectly...

It's all a matter of perception. A thing doesn't have to be real to be perceived as real by the public. Brand dilution is a very real problem in the real world, I would think this would carry to digital as well. Read the thread above (thanks for posting) and you may get a clearer picture of the pitfalls and, possible benefits.

I'm interested in mining DGB after the algo change
I'm sure it was posted somewhere in the thread about how exactly multi-algo mining is going to work, but I haven't been keeping up like I used to.
I'm guessing using scrypt asics to mine is out of the question? (Just ordered a gawminer fury)

I don't THINK that is required. Pretty sure you can mine with any of the supported Algos. I'm currently mining another coin using SHA256 and Script at the same time and it works using ASICs on both so, unless it up to the pool operator, I would think it's ok but, I'm not an expert on this, not many multi-Algo coins out there yet.

 

So DigiByte is going to merge mine under MyriadCoin, like it was proposed for Dogecoin to merge mine under Litecoin, or some other way?

Im not onboard with the 'merged mining' idea, at some point DGB should stand on its own 2 feet, as a product, service & investment. Just imagine the implications if it was merged with w/e coin and the other coins team gave up, quit, had major life changes or w/e. Multi-algo should be enough to allow any one to mine it if they choose.

Im not even sure the merged-mining idea is set in stone.. I would like to know as soon as possible,  as it would absolutely affect my long term thoughts on DGB's direction. Is it a coin to support 'Miners' or is it a coin that wants to offer a service to Vendors, Merchants, & Corporations & allow any one to mine it with what ever they may have.

Tiime progresses forward, technology changes, ideas are created, the forward motion continues. If DGB just wants to pat the back's of some over invested GPU miners that dident think about their huge GPU investments, 10 months ago & over spent on dreams of FAST ROI & 'moon' 'lambo' childish noncense, I would like to know. Intermingling (Merged-mining) is in my opinion adding too much to the plate, as now, you would have to deal with other coin's , while the energy should be spent on making THIS product, THIS service, and this companies goal, progress.

I am quite calm, thank you for your input.
