Digital Gold

Digital Gold (DGD) is a layer-1 cryptocurrency designed to combine the stability of traditional finance with block chain technology. It aims to preserve purchasing power like gold while offering the benefits of digital currencies.

The network grows through the addition of accounts in levels, with each level increasing both the network's size and DGD's value. The community validates the price at each level, promoting engagement and trust.

DGD follows the Digital Gold Standard Benchmark for Crypto Fair Value.

After reaching parity with the Digital Gold Standard Benchmark, DGD increases in value based on it's Crypto Fair Value, but with no new coins entering circulation there is no further coin inflation.

DGD was designed for use in commerce. A marketplace will be up and running on July 4th, similar to a Craigslist for Crypto and will include DGD as the first coin you can spend & receive for payment.

DGD is based on Digital Gold Standard Benchmark & Crypto Fair Value model.

The DGD Qt wallet is a full-node desktop application available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. When you first open it, it downloads and verifies the complete DGD blockchain to your computer — this is called syncing. Once fully synced, your wallet shows your DGD balance, lets you send and receive DGD, and participates in Proof of Stake (PoS). Because DGD uses PoS, your wallet earns staking rewards automatically when it is open, unlocked, and fully synced. There is no mining — simply holding DGD in a connected wallet contributes to network security.

Your DGD is controlled by a single file called wallet.dat. Losing this file means losing access to your coins permanently. To back it up: 1. Fully close the DGD wallet application. 2. Open your DGD data folder: - Windows: Press Win + R, type %APPDATA%\DigitalGold, press Enter - Mac: Open Finder → Go → Go to Folder → ~/Library/Application Support/DigitalGold - Linux: ~/.digitalgold 3. Copy wallet.dat to a secure location — an encrypted USB drive or offline storage is ideal. Back up after every significant transaction or whenever you generate a new receiving address. Keep multiple copies in separate locations. Anyone with your wallet.dat file has full access to your DGD.

1. Install the DGD wallet on your computer if you haven't already. 2. Let it open once so it creates the data folder, then close it fully. 3. Navigate to your DGD data folder (see paths above). 4. Replace the wallet.dat file with your backed-up copy. 5. Reopen the wallet. Once the blockchain is synced, your full balance and history will appear. If restoring to a new computer, close the wallet before it generates a new wallet.dat — otherwise you risk overwriting your backup.

Low or zero connections is the most common sync issue. Visit the [DGD Network Explorer](https://explorer.digitalgoldx.com/network) for a current list of active peers and ready-to-use addnode lines. Option 1 — Config file (permanent): In the wallet, go to Tools → Open Wallet Configuration File. Add the addnode lines from the explorer page, save the file, and restart the wallet. Option 2 — Debug Console (immediate): Go to Help → Debug Window → Console and paste the OneTry node lines directly from the explorer page. No restart needed. Connections should appear within a minute or two of adding nodes.

Try these steps in order: 1. Add nodes manually — visit the [DGD Network Explorer](https://explorer.digitalgoldx.com/network) and follow the instructions above. 2. Check your firewall — make sure your security software isn't blocking the DGD wallet application. 3. Reindex the blockchain — close the wallet, then relaunch it using the -reindex startup flag. This rebuilds your local chain database from scratch. 4. Contact support — if none of the above helps, reach out via the Contact Us page. The team can provide an updated peer list or bootstrap file to get you synced quickly.
