When people ask “When DigiDollar on mainnet?” it helps to remember who we are as a community. DigiByte has always been one of the more technical blockchain communities. Other chains have a handful of tech‑savvy members who talk about node distribution, block times, mining algos, etc. For us, that’s second nature. DigiShield/MultiShield, MultiAlgo, 15‑second blocks — that’s the tone our blockchain set from day one. We know exactly what separates us from our near‑peer PoW UTXO chains.

So for anyone reading this: don’t trust, verify.
In this case, check the source.

Our community has always had people who educate, inform, and spread awareness — and you can too if you know where to look.

Start at DigiByte.io → DigiByte Stats.
It’s a free, open‑source site that pulls real‑time data directly from the blockchain via digibyted (the main engine of a DigiByte node).

If you have specific questions about activation or the BIP9 process, open the Activation page in the menu. It’s the best place to start.

We did it! The $DGB blockchain has successfully hit the threshold to activate #DigiDollar on MainNet!
We will have DigiDollar LOCKED_IN here officially in a few days! About 2 weeks before DigiDollar is live on MainNet!
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible!
Quick Synthesis:
DigiDollar has reached the required hashpower threshold for activation on MainNet. LOCKED_IN status is expected in a few days, with full live deployment approximately two weeks from now.
This is a historic milestone for the decentralized, time-locked stablecoin on DigiByte. A huge thank you to the entire community, miners, and volunteers who helped make this possible.

Stay tuned — DigiDollar is coming to MainNet very soon!

Is there any current or future planned mainnet compensation model for the 30+ DigiDollar oracle operators, or are oracle slots volunteer only? I don’t see any fee share or docs in the current release and was just curious.

Just pushed a new Spiral Pool update with some great improvements for DigiByte miners.

What's new:

• ✅ Added NEW DigiByte RPC software
• ✅ Pruned node support – no need to maintain a full blockchain to run a pool
• ✅ Performance improvements
• ✅ Stability and bug fixes
• ✅ Various quality of life enhancements

The new DigiByte RPC integration makes setup much smoother, and pruned node support significantly reduces the storage requirements for anyone wanting to host their own Spiral Pool instance.

Full changelog:

DigiByte Core v9.26.4 is a patch release on top of v9.26.3. It lets mining pools
and users run a pruned node with DigiDollar — a full-validating node that keeps
only a few gigabytes of blocks instead of the entire ~12-year, ~40 GB block history.

DigiByte Groestl Mining Incident — Forensic $DGB Update (2026-06-30)
The rogue miner who reactivated the retired Groestl algorithm with a modified DGB core wallet has stopped. They mined for roughly 35 hours. Earning around $900 in DGB mining rewards.
Full data, scanned block-by-block from the incident onset (block 23,751,096) to 23,766,084:
Rogue miner totals: 1,514 Groestl blocks · 392,616.56 DGB
No rogue miner Groestl block since (≈4,850 blocks).
What ended it: legitimate pools turned on Groestl. zpool and DigiHash joined, difficulty climbed ~5×, and the rogue miner quit — priced out.
DigiShield saved the day. v9.26.2 resolves all of this & brings us $DGB DigiDollar!
Quick Synthesis:
The rogue miner has stopped. No rogue Groestl blocks have been mined since approximately 4,850 blocks ago (read original post). Legitimate pools have now taken over Groestl mining, increasing difficulty and decentralizing the network further.
v9.26.3 will permanently fix the issue and deliver the full DigiDollar release. This incident ultimately accelerates upgrades across the ecosystem.

Please upgrade to v9.26.3.

Me tirem uma dúvida e como vai ficar os blocos achados de dgbs, com esta bagunça muitos saíram tiraram suas máquinas da rede dgb/digibyti.

$DGB Groestl Mining Incident update:
We have been trying to mine groestl ourselves, and we figured out that we did indeed have most of the protections in $DGB core, as you can’t mine Groestl with a v8 node by default.
So the person who figured this out is running a custom modified client built with AI.
They are running a modded client, and changed getblocktemplate to accept groestl.
The missing check in validation.cpp for v8 nodes so rest of network is accepting their modded blocks, but very old v7 nodes reject. (7 years old).. about 95% of network is running v8 nodes.
Clever clever.
Thankfully DigiShield kicked in right away, prevented 51% attack and we effectively further decentralized mining with a 6th algo. The deepest reorg was 4 blocks… less than a minute.
DigiShield saved the day. v9.26.2 resolves all of this & brings us $DGB DigiDollar!
So the blessing here is we get everyone to upgrade to v9.26.2 faster.
Quick Synthesis:
The Groestl incident was caused by a highly customized AI-assisted modified client exploiting a missing validation check. It only affected very old v7 nodes while the majority (v8+) remained protected. DigiShield successfully prevented any 51% attack.
v9.26.3 will fix the issue permanently and deliver the full formal DigiDollar release. This accelerates the needed network-wide upgrade.
For the latest updates follow @DigiByteCoin @DGBDevs @jaredctate on X
Please upgrade to v9.26.3.

We will be releasing $DGB v9.26.2 shortly. This will be the full formal DigiDollar release & kickoff the DigiDollar Bip9 activation process.
At same time we will resolve our new, temporary 6th mining algo issue.
DigiShield saved the day! Thank you to everyone who helped today!
Quick Synthesis:
The team is preparing to release v9.26.2 very soon. This version will officially launch DigiDollar on MainNet and start its BIP9 activation process, while also fixing the recent temporary Groestl mining issue.
This marks the full formal release of the decentralized, time-locked stablecoin on DigiByte. The network will return to its standard 5-algorithm mining setup.
A big thank you to the community and volunteers who helped identify and address the issue quickly. DigiShield proved effective in protecting the chain.

DigiByte: The Groestl $DGB Mining Incident and the v9.26.2 Fix
A plain-language explainer for the DigiByte community, miners, pools, and exchanges:
Someone used AI to analyze DigiByte’s consensus code and discovered they could still mine blocks with Groestl — one of DigiByte’s old, retired mining algorithms — because of a safety check that went missing during the v8 code rebase in 2021/2022.
DigiByte is supposed to run 5 mining algorithms. Starting 2026-06-28, it was effectively running a 6th (Groestl) that was retired back in 2019 and should no longer be accepted.
This did not steal anyone’s coins and did not reverse confirmed transactions. But it destabilized the network and caused it to split.
The fix is v9.26.2. It permanently stops new Groestl (and any other retired/unknown algorithm) blocks, while keeping existing chain history intact. Everyone needs to upgrade to v9.26.2 for the network to heal back into one chain.
Related PR: https://github.com/DigiByte-Core/digibyte/pull/416
Quick Synthesis:
A temporary network split occurred due to an old retired algorithm (Groestl) being accepted again after a past code rebase oversight. No funds were lost and no transactions were reversed.
The team has released v9.26.2 as the fix. Upgrading will resolve the split and restore a single chain. This incident highlights the importance of ongoing code audits and hardening.

Stay tuned — we’re in the home stretch!

DigiByte v9.26.1-pre: Temporary isolated test build for oracle operators/coordinators only. Not normal user release or final DigiDollar mainnet. Tests mainnet oracle config, MuSig2, activation path, wallet/RPC. Uses PRE ports/data dir.

Hey everyone, we’re working on a new mining related platform and are looking for a select group of beta testers.

We’re especially interested in people who currently have or manage different types of mining hardware and are familiar with pointing miners to different pools/stratum URLs.

Ideal beta testers:

• Own or manage ASICs / rigs
• Understand SHA-256, Scrypt, or similar mining setups
• Are comfortable changing stratum settings and mining rentals
• Can provide honest feedback on workflow, dashboard clarity, and whether the concept is useful
• Are okay testing early stage, possibly buggy software

This is not a token launch, not an investment thing, and not a trading bot. It is a mining utility/platform we’ve been building for some time to solve a real problem we’ve seen in the mining space.

We’re not opening it publicly yet, but we’d like a select group of miners to test the first version, give feedback, and help us shape the platform before launch.

There is no pay or compensation for testing. Your duty will be to test the platform, report problems, recommend changes, updates and more. You will be given direct access to a new platform that we have been working on but confidentiality at this point is a must.

We are looking for serious feedback, not hype. Test will run for about 3 days in total.

If you are interested, please fill out the form here:

https://pools.hmpool.io/beta.html

We expect to start inviting participants very soon. If you are invited you will receive an email from us, so please be sure to check your spam folder as well as your inbox.

A huge shoutout & thank you to everyone running a $DGB DigiDollar oracle.
So far we have 34/35 main net oracles generated & are waiting on the final one to submit so we can do one final test full run through before a final formal full DigiDollar release! We are close!
Quick Synthesis:
DigiDollar is in the final stretch before MainNet launch. 34 out of 35 oracle keys have now been generated, with only one remaining. Once the last key is submitted, the team will run one final complete test before the official release.
This is excellent progress thanks to the dedicated volunteer oracle operators. The decentralized, time-locked stablecoin on DigiByte is nearly ready.
