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

"Peter Wuille, one of the Bitcoin Core Developers, also proposed the idea to combine Confidential Transaction feature with CoinJoin, an anonymization method that combines two payment transactions and making it a one Bitcoin transaction. The method obfuscates the direction, as there is no way to relate the input and output of a transaction. Dash’s DarkPay also uses a similar method". http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/06/22/how-blockstream-plans-to-improve-bitcoin-privacy/Bitcoin with sidechains makes me think of this:  Our horse,  |

You don't get out much - huh?? @ sub-ether
lol
I was being somewhat ironic  In my country it means feck off and comes from the medieval use of the bow and arrow using those 2 fingers to shoot somebody that got shown to the French just before a big battle. Now if you turn it the other way, thats different, that means victory. P.S. Btw, see you in Gautamala  |

Now the rebrand begin to make sense more and more. Imagine Darkcoin on that banner. DASH fits better in many ways! Edit: can anyone translate whats written there, please? Man.." Revolutionary payment technology- safe and decentralised " Is that Brazilian for hello ?  |

The metrics I find interesting are that Dash is the only coin to have the seed numbers increase in the last 6 months, many have dropped precipitously, more seeds must make for a stronger Tao sync ratio (see how much litecoin has dropped!) A curious one:- If you super impose bitcoin's price with 'sent from unique addresses', they are mirror opposite trends. If you do the same for Dash, the price will track the 'sent from unique addresses' in the same direction. Is the conclusion that most of bitcoins are staying with a small number of rich players(+hoarders), where as Dash's distribution as a whole marketcap(of the 5.5 million coins) is turned over better, because it tracks the wallet usage, perhaps masternodes coming online and switching ownership adds to this more balanced of correlations ? |

We only have (somewhat ironically) 11 live test masternodes in testnet. Darksend seems to be functioning but am unable to instantX, can anyone add 1 or 2?? Thanks 69 testnet masternodes added. (they were always there, just needed to update to the latest copy of .2) Status: 5/confirmed (verified via instantx), broadcast through 26 node(s)

Debit: -234.00000000 tDASH
Transaction fee: -0.01000000 tDASH
Net amount: -234.01000000 tDASH
Transaction ID: ad32ca86196f3d7d07b486feb0aeea7df011d07502fa1b83b81cf49c609ca5eb-000 I just love that 69 .... number of masternodes Adding mine this morning too... Each day of testing brings us close to main release. Don't waste your day people..move your a*s to testnet I love you guys, thanks! Excellent, there are 100 masternodes now! I have had 2 successful masternode payments in testnet of 13.9 tdash each, testing looking good so far |

For any willing helpers, all they have to do is stick this config in their dash folder, testnet=1 rpcuser=myusernameisflossy rpcpassword=mypasswordissheeps rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 listen=1 server=1 daemon=1 logtimestamps=1 maxconnections=256 masternode=1 masternodeprivkey='in debug console use masternode genkey after depositing exactly 1000 tdash to an address for 15 confirmations' addnode=23.23.186.131 and in debug use masternode start mypasswordissheeps and you're good to go! Its good learning if you have never done a masternode before and the best bit is you get 1000's of free tdash that you never have to pay back |

Q. How do you comprehensively destroy a cryptocurrency's fungibility ?
A. By wrapping it in various altcoin crispy coatings and creating a heterogeneous coin supply from a previously homogeneous one.
Lol, long words mixed in with easy to understand metaphors, it don't get better than that |

We'll definitely have Dash, sooner rather than later, don't worry.

Bitshares won in May, it is integrated as BitUSD
LOL, you support BitcoinDark, but don't support DASH... Are you caring only about donations, but not about providing your clients with most popular crypto-exchange-directions? +100 I was thinking exactly like Tao said before....these were my first feelings...anyway....better to have some volume and constant fees from trades instead of being signed on exchange and the story finishes there... we will see and time will show... btw...DASH will be in every prestigious exchange...period! You bet! The future is Dar...umm, Dash! A neccessary evil to get on the first exchange with mastercard ? A quick tally of the numbers so far suggests around 17 bitcoins making $4148, and roughly $2200 will be from all of the losing coins ...  |
