Digitalcoin (DGC) is designed to be a simple and reliable currency that facilitates efficient peer-to-peer transactions while providing a cryptographically secured, long-term store of value. Digitalcoin is a transparent, open-source network, officially founded on May 20th, 2013 by a well-established team led by the developer Baritus. Digitalcoin utilizes Proof-of-Work (PoW) methodology for block generation, with block times approximately one-fourth the duration of Litecoin’s PoW block time. There was no premine and only 48 million Digitalcoins will ever be created. Originally based on the Scrypt mining algorithm, Digitalcoin was subsequently upgraded to a three-algorithm, very secure PoW platform (X11, SHA256, and Scrypt). Masternodes serve to ensure smooth running of the DGC network by providing stability, transaction efficiency, and network governance.
