DigiByte Update - #221 - Sync improvements, RandomX goal reached, and what's next
Todays #DigiByte update shows off some of the upcoming sync improvements in the next DigiByte Core release, so it'll be even faster on an old / sluggish machine and WAY faster on a newer / high-speed computer.
We've also hit the 200k DigiByte goal so thank you to the DigiByte Foundation for bringing us up to the goal amount, great to see their support there, thank you to all who've donated and I can't wait to see this finished up! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2tZnMFM3c
When people talk about paying with cryptocurrency, this is what we're up against.
We've gotta be totally integrated with these devices or the point-of-sale system, so you can pay immediately (No extra steps), otherwise I believe that people simply won't bother. Why take the extra steps in paying with Crypto, when this is even faster, easier, more streamlined?
Know of any payment processors that DigiByte could integrate with? Let's talk with them!

DigiByte is permissionless, anybody can use it, mine it, run a node, run a Dapp, save data to DigiByte, send, receive, and nobody can stop you, and nobody can prevent you from doing-so.
Big shout out to the DigiByte Awareness Team, for forming the DGBAT, and for understanding that you didn't need permission!
So while it may not be *wise* for us to have a million "CEOs" of DigiByte (You know that's not what I'm meaning with this), I want to encourage all viewers to be an ambassador, or a CEO, or a marketer for DigiByte, and to show off DigiByte to the world!
