DigiByte pioneered asymmetrical difficulty adjustment mining with DigiShield, which is a widely used technology and the basis of many other blockchains. It is also the first to blockchain to fork from a single proof-of-work algorithm to multi-algorithm mining.
 
 
Activated in February 2014 this hard fork allowed for the DigiByte blockchain to protect against multi-pools that mine large numbers of DigiByte at a low difficulty. It achieves this by recalculating block difficulty between each block, allowing for a faster correction when a multi-pool begins or ceases contributing to DigiByte, rather than recalculating once every fortnight as is the case with Bitcoin. Since then DigiShield has been added into over 25 other cryptocurrency blockchains such as Dogecoin, Startcoin, Zcash, AuroraCoin, BitcoinGold, BitTokens, CasinoCoin, CreativeCoin, Granite, Huncoin, Monacoin, Mooncoin, Nautiluscoin, Quatloo, SakuraCoin, Scorecoin, SmartCoin, StartCoin, SuperiorCoin, And Ubiq, with the help of the DigiByte Core team.

Activated in September 2014 from Myriadcoin source code, this hard fork allowed for multi-algorithm mining. Its purpose was to create a number of different proof of work (PoW) mining methods to accommodate the different types of mining capabilities that exist, such as dedicated ASIC mining, GPU and CPU mining. This allows for a larger number of people to access DigiByte mining pools and therefore it creates a more decentralized blockchain with the coins reaching groups who were unable to mine the coin on its original single-algorithm (Scrypt)fork.

DigiByte opened with a block time of 15 seconds and handling up to 560 transactions per second. Every 2 years the DigiByte blockchain's dynamic system doubles the number of transactions per second by doubling the block size. In 2017, capability reaches 560 transactions per second, with a maximum capability of 280,000 transactions per second to be reached in 2035.[link]

Revision as of 19:03, 30 January 2019

DigiByte (DGB) is an open-source cryptocurrency running on the DigiByte Blockchain, a decentralized international blockchain created in 2013. The DigiByte blockchain was developed in 2013 and released in January 2014 . Although based on Bitcoin, adjustments in the code allow for improved functionality, including 15-second block time and improved security. As of Jan 30 2019 DigiByte has a total market cap of over US $100 million, but has reached a peak of $1.3B in the past. It is the world's longest, fastest and most secure UTXO blockchain in existence.
