Todays DigiByte update looks at the latest iOS TestFlight that's currently in the "Dev-only" mode, it'll be going public in a day or two no doubt for further TestFlight feedback but I just wanted to let everyone know that it was being worked on and we're including a few other fixes there in terms of the speed of sync and more as well. Big thanks to our devs for all their hard work!
DigiByte and Friends episode will be a couple of days out, stay subscribed to get that video when it drops coz it's going to be a fantastic one looking at CoinFlip, the drama there around their lack of KYC / AML, being complicit in users being scammed out of money and more! However it's a super positive look at what we as a broader blockchain community as a whole can be doing to improve this space.

And DigiAssets support for iOS is still being very actively worked on, there's still a few issues we want to tidy up before we get it out to everyone in a TestFlight, but I wanted to remind you that it's coming...

In this DigiByte and Friends, we look at the Coinflip ATMs and their intentional lack of KYC, which facilitates offshore scam artists, and Coinflips business model is basically "taking a cut" (7%) of enabling scammers. Where there's 80%+ "remittance payments" made using an ATM, something is definitely wrong.
Where a 65+ year old grandma is using it to make "remittance payments", something is up, and a quick KYC phone-call from Coinflip to them would have clarified that and could save the end-user from being sucked in through a scam that's facilitated through Coinflip ATMs.

Apologies for the white-balancing lighting issues, seems it didn't like me wearing a dark shirt + beanie and all the auto white-balancing went a little crazy. Will see about fixing that for the next video.
