From Twitter:







I guess Peter's not done his Dash bashing! Maybe he will give us something tangible to work with this time...

I'm sure Evan thinks of you whenever he hears this song (click image):

Hi Dash guys and ambassadors!

I would like to point your attention to this new article: https://www.dashpay.io/news/earn-passive-income-running-dash-masternode-raspberry-pi/
It looks too simple and nothing special..., but in fact it discovered a huge unpredictable spreading potential!

During the first 12 hours in gets more than 13.000 readers in Russian Internet and counting... (I expect no less than 30.000 Russian readers finally)

Hope you'll be able to use it's full potential to promote Dash in your countries also... Good luck!

That's great news! That article was well done. More Masternodes incoming from Mother Russia...

This Wikipedia entry casts a dim view of what he said. He's basically saying that we purport to have the solutions, but it's all make-believe:

Sorry, @MangledBlue, but based on this new evidence, my tweet will be reinstated...  Shocked

Actual I think he is NOT belittling DASH
I just reads funny

Indeed. I'd be careful of making enemies unnecessarily.

I've never heard Peter Todd do any Dash bashing at all, in fact he's actually quite sympathetic to the whole 2-tier idea from the talks I've seen.


By all means, feel free to correct my impression!
But isn't he calling the Dash community a cargo-cult?!
When you look at the whole conversation the thread starter even concurs with the impression of it being an insult.
I took it that way, too. Maybe misunderstanding.

So whats with BTC-e, i heard a rumour they are considering on adding DASH...?
Hopefully, where there's smoke, there's fire. I just gave them another nudge...

I know I've tweeted your comments in the past, but now you have your own niche

Thank you for the honour !

I hope I can do it justice  Cheesy
No problem, and I'm sure you will.

OK, that's it. I'm going to do something now that I should have done a long time ago. You now have your own segment in the Dash Twitter PR Initiative, and your own hashtag. I know I've tweeted your comments in the past, but now you have your own niche:

I'm sure it's a pump, but it's fun to watch! When is the pin going to be inserted? And where are we going to stabilize? Exciting times...
1691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX on: July 01, 2015, 04:41:31 AM
I'm seeing some negativity creeping through our normally positive thread due to the latest developments in the markets.

I'm sorry to the people who hate this sort of thing, but I don't have a negative bone in my body. In fact the only thing negative about me is my blood type (O-negative). Therefore, I must continue to fight for the forces of good in this thread...  Grin

There are those who are running out of patience. I know people bought into this coin at varying stages, and are at various levels of loss. This, however, does not take away from the fact that we are all here to see this thing through. Yes, there are coins out there that are inferior to Dash that are getting pumped, but does that not make you see that we are different in this industry? We are not a coin to be pumped and dumped anymore.

This is a coin with a long term vision. Evan doesn't go on these podcasts and declare "We will compete with Bitcoin" for his health! The core team here knows how special this project is. Sure, it started out as a privacy-oriented coin in the beginning, but then Evan discovered InstantX and realized that with the team we have in place here, we can do big things.

We are in this project's infancy. Darksend has its bugs, InstantX does not work every time, and the UI of the wallet could use some work to be more user friendly. What are we in a rush to promote? People download the wallet, say this doesn't do what it's supposed to do and then discard and never come back.

Now, if we do this the right way, and I'm sure the dev team would back me up on this, we do develop, we do keep to ourselves, we do gel as a community and produce something really awesome. Something that works everytime with the push of a button. Something so easy to use, any non-technical person could use it with ease, and on any device. Then, we crank up the DGBB funds to promote the hell out of it. With adoption, comes the cherished price increases that everyone here is so want to see.

If you want pumps and dumps, try Litecoin. If you want to be part of a project that could one day change the world, stay right here. But if you stay here, understand that the crew here wants to produce Digital Cash, and we are not messing around in that endeavor. If you build it, they will come, and let's face it, we haven't built it yet. Why should they come?

In a few years, if we are still at this point, it will be time to re-evaluate.

Until then, respectfully, to all the people who are frustrated, quit your belly-aching and put your efforts into supporting the project. The rewards you desire will come in time...

Tao

Right folks. Get tweeting about that bitcoin machine. Now's the chance with a captive audience. Big things start small. Dash needs new audiences and Bitcoin is the only front door right now.

TinyURL = http://tinyurl.com/ochakml

PRIMARY TARGETS:

#OXI #Grexit #greferendum #AlexisTsiprasn #Greece #Syntagma

P.S. If the whole of bitcointalk could get round a single tweet on all of those hashtags, it would possibly float for a while and get increidible exposure worldwide. All the world's press are on those feeds right now.

Did someone say "Tweet'? I'm on it:

Someone just sold 471 DASH on Cryptsy. With not much volume lately, it looks like a huge candle...

Let the stats do the talking, who is at the top and who is at the bottom ?

I'm sorry, Sub-Ether, but those statistics mean nothing to me.  Just because an average Mexican spends 60 hours a week digging ditches doesn't mean anything.  Mexico's education system is beyond broken.  If you want decent grades, in most places, you have to pay your teacher a bribe.  Bribery is the main way to earn money.  Forgive me, but Mexico is messed up.  The worst thing is they actually have a peasant mentality.  Keeping them uneducated keeps that system in tact.  Please don't get me wrong, I'm talking about their society, not individual Mexicans.  And their society has a TON of great things, like family values, hard working.  But it goes back to being more productive by working smarter not harder nor easier but longer.

It comes with education, and education is not valued in all societies.  Mostly in societies where the "haves" want to keep control.  


Edit:  I have lived with Mexican and Mexican American people all my life.  Until adulthood, my neighborhood was over 50% Mexican-American.  Since childhood, I couldn't understand why Mexico wasn't the richest country in the world.  It was so green!  So beautiful, they even have rich deposits of oil!  Why?

The answer is deeply engrained corruption which is possibly impossible to excise.  And it deeply depresses me.

I think he was trying to point out the difference between the longer working, inefficient Greeks, and the efficient, shorter work time Germans with that graph.

I just hijacked the thread a bit with my Mexican comment. Sorry!

...Productivity index per hour worked. If EU average is 100 than:
Greece stays at 76.3
Germany stays at  123.7 i.e an average German working hour is 62.12% more efficient than an average Greek working hour...

If I may quote your own self:  "It doesn't quite work like that."

Productivity is the amount of fiat earned per unit of work.  This is a deceptive statistic as the infrastructure in say, Germany is far more advanced than in Greece.  A German office worker can type faster on a computer than a Greek office worker can write using pencil and paper.  How much of this infrastructure is implicitly included in your 123-76 advantage?  How did Germany gain that advantage in the first place?

Imagine 2 identical twins separated at birth 20 years ago.  One flies to Berlin and the other to Athens.  They both become machinists.  The German twin has a higher productivity than his Greek sibling in 2015.  Is the Greek kid lazy?

EDIT
--------
Now they do a house swap.  Is the "original German" kid now the lazy one?

The "original German" would teach them how to work more efficiently Smiley

Hint: Ferrari was always a great Formula 1 car. Italians are also a Mediterranean nation. Ferrari had problems (10 years without world championship) until Niki Lauda arrived and turned them around. He leaves and soon-after they went nowhere. 15 years without the world championship in, Michael Schumacher arrived and turned them around in the most spectacular way. He leaves and soon-after Ferrari slumps yet again. Sebastian Vettel arrived and is already turning them around. (only this time he competes against Mercedes Smiley

Kidding aside, it seems to me you have your conclusion and than construct a premise to support it, a very clever premise granted, but it might lead to a circular argument which is not my forte. While Tante is correct, "people are people" there's nothing wrong in stating / believing that some nations are, in average, naturally better in certain activities than the others, like Kenyan runners being better in marathon than Norwegians while you'd be hard pressed to prove that Norwegians are not better sailors than Kenyans.

This is not, I hope you will grant me that, a stereotype, but acknowledgement of the fact that the climate, geography, history makes those differences ..
