the few left here with half a brain and you might not always like his narrative @dgb_ycagel , but he often keeps constructive discussion going on here. Having a disliking for Jared is completely understandable, given his past track record and behavior. There are others in the community suggesting that too.

That having said, I can't believe people are still using that "DigiByte is suppressed by big evil entities" mantra. I thought we were decentralized? Nothing can technically suppress us. There is only exchanges or other entities not wanting to list or use it for multiple completely logical reasons, a few examples (which I've mentioned time and time again) being:

1) It costs money to run a DigiByte node or rely on services that do that for you (costing me a rib per month for DGB Commerce too)
2) Because DigiByte is open-source and decentralized there is no party formally obligated to offer support or help with any issues (Core crashed 3 times on my server last month, no logs, nobody knows why)
3) It's one of the many, many Bitcoin forks from the 2013/2014 craze which typically doesn't generate a whole lot of volume so exchanges and entities won't make money out of it to cover the expenses they'd make with point 1

There have been politically motivated reasons to not list or delist DigiByte, such as Poloniex, but most cases that was because of Jared publicly throwing shade.

Speaking of Jared, he arguably IS still the face of DigiByte and on a personal level he seems like a standup guy whose (political) views align a lot with my own. But he's proven time and time again he's terrible to collaborate with, scaring many people away in the process. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the last year or so because there no longer was any public mudslinging (and no other devs to sling mud at in the first place), but apparently there are still circles where Jared (and people kissing his ass since day one) is calling the shots, shooing people away that want to or actually have been contributing. I thought we were finally past that shit. Lately, I have been actively trying to rally up oldbies to try and finally drag 8.22 over the finish line, but there's a common denominator in the reasons why they're hesitant.

I've always liked this project yet always been skeptical on top of it. If we can't have a constructive discussion on trivial matters such as 3 of the 5 mining algorithms slowly getting abandoned and technical maintenance being lacking, then this project is legit doomed.

For DigiByte help, check the DigiByte troubleshooting tool it covers most common problems. And if it doesn’t help you, it will put you in touch with our human volunteers. Only scammers will private message you.
