DGB Signal Issue 17 cover. Title reads “No price, no guess. The chain waits.” above a timeline of signed oracle price bundles that stops, leaving a gap. Below the gap, three rows show what happens: mints and redemptions pause, DigiDollar transfers keep flowing, and locked collateral is untouched.

DigiByte Thaw Day: What Changed for DigiDollar

Block 24,490,000 replaced the old volatility freeze with a mint-only price check, changed how system health is counted, and closed the…

DGB Signal Issue 16 cover. Title reads “The freeze thawed. Minting still pauses.” above a before-and-after comparison split at block 24,490,000. Before: a 20% move in an hour froze minting, a 30% move in a day froze everything, and a 36-hour cooldown followed. From that block: minting pauses if the price is 20% away from the median of recent on-chain prices, transfers and redemptions keep working, and there is no cooldown.

DigiDollar Mining: What Pools Had to Change

A DigiByte pool that skips one template rule still mines valid blocks. It just never confirms a DigiDollar mint or redemption, and nothing…

DGB Signal Issue 14 cover. Title reads “Who mines your DigiDollar?” above a diagram of a block template. The coinbase row holds three outputs: reward, witness commitment, and a highlighted OP_ORACLE output. Below it, mint and redeem transactions are marked “need OP_ORACLE in this block”, while DD transfers and DGB payments are marked “mined either way”.

DigiByte Block Time: What 15 Seconds Really Buys

A DigiByte transaction gets its first confirmation in about 15 seconds. Here is what that confirmation is worth, and what the speed costs.

DGB Signal Issue 13 cover. Title reads “15 seconds is not finality.” above a four-step ladder of confirmation depths: 1 confirmation at about 15 seconds labelled “first block”, 6 at about 90 seconds labelled “under $100”, 20 at about 5 minutes labelled “$100 to $10k”, and 60 at about 15 minutes labelled “over $10k”.
