Hello DigiByte Community! DGBAT is excited to connect with you through our inaugural monthly newsletter. Here, you will find updates on our activities, news from the DigiByte Foundation, and from the DigiByte core team. In this maiden edition, we will introduce some of our members and fill you in on what we have been up to since May.

Meet the Team

The DigiByte Awareness Team (DGBAT) evolved as a community-led grassroots marketing campaign from the efforts of community member Dereck de Mézquita (@xeno_biologist). Among the founders are Dereck, Dean, Rudy Bouwman, Frederik, and Andrew. The central team is made up of 13 people, which are a mix of founding and new members. DGBAT was founded in May.

DGBAT is made up of divisions such as Outreach, Social Media, Development, Writers and Fundraising, each loosely managed by a member of the central team. For a more detailed introduction, please read this post Introducing: DigiByte Awareness Team (DGBAT).

DGBAT — Organisational Chart

We work closely with the DigiByte Foundation and the core team. Josiah Spackman represents both the Foundation and the core team in DGBAT Central. Other members the community you may recognize on Telegram include @Nigel @Sinone and @Glenn.

Funding

DGBAT launched a general fund to finance our outreach and marketing operations in May.

As of June 26, we have raised 245,000 DGB. 58,000 DGB has already been converted to fiat to complete the first tranche of legal fees. An additional 20,000 DGB was raised from our own DGBAT members (mostly from @Glenn) to finance listing expenses (OOOBTC).

Thank you to members of the DGBAT and the larger DGB community for giving so generously. If you are considering donating to the general fund, please do so only through official sources. Beware of scammers posting fake DGBAT wallet addresses and sending private funding requests to your inbox.
