total supply of dash coin fixed?
According to Evan, nothing in Dash is fixed. He may change the total supply any time he wants to. It's already happened once.  Just to let you know, your beloved Evan is not core dev anymore  . Shocked? He is more like consultant/advisor now. Dash have 18  full-time developers, all paid from the blockchain, so your three years old FUD bus factor 1 is in the bin . Also there are ~4500 masternodes ready to vote for any changes. BTW you sound tired. I assume that trying to convince people that 80% anonymous, Pump&Dump, fluffyretardo, cultish, scammy coin-xmr is a cool coin, is very tiring Maybe Icebreaker wasn't 'in' on fluffyponys recent scam. Poor Icey, yes probably needs a holiday It's rather telling you all would rather discuss me rather than, given the fact Evan alters emission at will, admit Dash has no reliably/provably fixed supply. |

Even with setting priority low on all the monero processes the blockchain synch is bogging my system to the point of unusability. I have a 6 core system and thats pretty unacceptable that I cannot synch in the background. Win7x64.
I can mine watch video's browse multiple streams and play games on this system but not synch. What is the deal with that?
Use the process CPU affinity bindings, not priority (Task Manager -> Details -> rt. click -> Set affinity). Bind the Monero processes to your last two logical (IE one physical) cores, 4 and 5. Bind your applications (browser and games) to the middle two, 2 and 3. That leaves 0 and 1 for your OS, AV, etc. and keeps everything compartmentalized so L2 cache hits are maximized and overwrites minimized. Now you may enable 1 thread of GUI Smart Mining (which should really be renamed IntelliHashing) and not even notice, until you crack a block and win teh prize!  |

There has been enough said on this whole affair now.
I assume we can agree we both share an interest in the best truly fungible digital currency and wish all the devs and Monero well.
Yes indeed! Barolo and hugs all around!  |

I didn't ragedump, nor am I 'poutraged', I don't even think you have any obligation to do anything in particular. I would just rather you didn't sneer at anyone who isn't (like you) gleefully happy about what happened, and I have voiced this opinion. That's all.
Nice to know you didn't ragedump. We've already discussed the many reasons some people are "gleefully happy" in reaction to the polarizing #FluffyGate performance art installation. Calling my good-natured wish for Fluffy to enjoy National Wine Day a "sneer" is the part where you were poutraged (IIRC). This week XMR outperformed BTC by 6.5%. Our Chief Entertainment Officer's next prank can't come soon enough! |

That's a great article. It was biased...towards the truth! the controversy surrounding the instamine means that it will likely not be added to any darknet markets anytime in the future. lol rekt |

You've done a lot recently to undermine your own credibility, as you're clearly just being a Fluffy sycophant.
It's rather telling you disputed exactly zero of the facts in my post, choosing instead to merely attack me for relating and analyzing them. Perhaps you are just still salty because I utterly demolished your attempt at rebranding BBR to the (atrocious and universally reviled) "Rune" label?  Do you likewise consider GMAX a "Fluffy sycophant" with undermined credibility for posting this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6dcter/are_yall_on_drugs_help_me_understand_this/ Fluffypony has at every turn that I've seen behaved with integrity and intelligence. His thoughtful manner has been an essential component in the bringing in the support (or at least tolerance!) from intelligent people elsewhere resulting in advancing Monero through things like RingCT and protecting Monero through things like the discovery of the recently disclosed key image small subgroup handling flaw. I will not be cowed by your attempt to heap retaliatory opprobrium on me for explaining and defending the wisdom and necessity of Fluffy's constructive epic prank. Everyone can see that my posts contain actual analysis, whereas your own simply asserts your bias and calls me names for disagreeing with your opinion. My credibility is nearly beyond reproach and I've been here longer than you, so why in the world would I GAF about your plebeian basic bitch opinion? Your own words, eat them: #REKT  You've done no analysis. You've merely been enthusiastically parroting what Fluffy's said, with some extra cheerleading mixed in, as would be expected from a sycophant. I'm impressed you spent so long digging up completely random, three year old posts and using them out of context. I'll feed one of yours back to you: "Yes, and everyone should be forced to take spelling, speech, and debate lessons before exercising their 1st Amendment rights is allowed." I couldn't agree more! Maybe then we wouldn't have to read the rambling, semi-incoherent nonsense that you spam all over these boards. #REKT and, more importantly, #IGNOREDLots of whining about *me* in your post but no response at all to gmax's post. Gee, looks like I touched a nerve. Bad memories from when Monero hurt you perhaps? Are you going to petulantly Ignore gmax as well, just as you Ignore the fact Fluffy is not the Professional CEO of Monero? Fine, don't manage your expectations for FOSS contributors and quixotically hold them to standards of the private sector business world. GLWT. |

The only power to "entrench resentment" possessed by drunken Monero mountaineers is the amount you voluntarily grant them. For example, nothing I can post could possibly make Aminorex sell, because he is Based AF and not a whiny melting snowflake. He is also 100% spot-on about the blatant market manipulation and smear campaign. Very sad to see some of our finest Mustangs succumbing to (*gasp*) popular sentiment as found on social media, aiding and abetting the Ztrash/Dash troll brigade.  If Monero is not sufficiently anti-fragile to survive its weak holders under the mildly adverse conditions of a well-intentioned and poignant practical joke, it does not deserve to continue. Smooth has already explained this; I'm not sure why normies are still not grokking the idea: 'anti fragile' means that if anything fluffypony says or matters all that much, we're doing something wrong. Fortunately, it doesn't.
(And to the extent that this stunt makes what he says or does matter even less, we're doing something right.)
Android and Surae are so much more important than endless butthurt over what is obviously high caliber performance art (which should be profoundly provocative and thus controversial due to displaced cognitive dissonance). Please disabuse yourself of the false conceit that I am here to coddle, placate, compromise, or (to use your euphemism) "heal" your poutrage. I am here to catalyze and amplify your self-inflicted resentment until you pull a Hearn and puke up cheap coins. If you rage-dumped XMR because of some farcical trifle about a #FluffyGate tweet, you never deserved to hold a single Tacoshi. Out of all the material in the conversation, that's the best response you could come up with?  Wow, I think my smugness level just went up a notch. Thanks for that. |

I was at the NYC event. The most blatant market manipulation I have observed was the smear campaign which followed. I have been quiet because I don't like to encourage people to sell, because they will probably harm themselves if they do so, yet I anticipated that the reaction cycle would be adverse to price, once I saw the event, so I have been lying low. I have now begun to buy again, and so I feel my influence is now less likely to harm anyone.
I am still very saddened by the intense negative emotion that has been expressed here. Surely you must see that such effusions are harmful to yourself. While you cannot undo the damage you caused to yourself, at least learn from this, and do not let facile emotions dictate words and deeds so incautiously in future.
As for fluffyponyza's tweets, I think they were very ill-considered. It seems particularly poor taste to say that pre-announcements would be unethical, after having made a pre-announcement. The fact that it was intended as a deceit does not make it more ethical. The logic of that is so bizarrely twisted that it saddens me.
I think the marvelous progress made by endogenic on iOS and Android support is the truly newsworthy part of the presentation. Surae's discussion of the process of cryptographic review was also of greater importance than fluffyponyza's troll. Unfortunately these are being overlooked, because they can not be exploited to make you puke up cheap coins.
I am glad you have posted on this and your response is reasoned and about in line with my own. Yes, I think a lot of the reaction was OTT, but personally while I know what he 'meant' and FP's little joke was not existential, the ill-judged nature of it has created a bad atmosphere and a ton of troll fodder that it need not have. Monero is still a great project and this won't change that, but by creating confusion and the potential accusation of pump and dump scam (even if inadvertently) was foolish. That is about it. but one more small point: I could do without people high up from 'Monero Mountain' with wine glasses in hand sneering at people who are genuine supporters of this project and deserve better. It only serves to entrench resentment, not heal it. The only power to "entrench resentment" possessed by drunken Monero mountaineers is the amount you voluntarily grant them.

The point of the prank is to demonstrate how unwise it is to trust (no matter how popular or charismatic) any personality in crypto, where Code is Law, or expect professionalism from non-professionals. Teaching those crucial lessons, which are dear to the ethos of Monero/Bitcoin/FOSS yet widely subsumed by exuberant hype, is not mere "frivolity." Fluffy is not a C-level executive of the Monero Corp. Adjust your expectations accordingly (IE expect trolling and fun, not pumping and gravitas). Fluffy is our Chief Entertainment Officer.

I disagree with you on this one. Such frivolity communicates a complete lack of professionalism and absolute disrespect for everyone concerned, fluffy himself included.

Hurr, if Decred was a plane, durr.
Decred is not a plane, it's a crypto featuring actual on-chain democracy. Stealing metaphors is a nasty habit. Decred airdropped to everyone who asked ~240 DCR, which at the time was about 1 BTC worth (now 2.3 BTC). That's the opposite of Dash's Instamine ,which only benefited insiders and permanently distorted its stake voting to the point of being mere Democracy Theater (where no coalition of Actual Users have Masternodes sufficient to overrule Evan's 250,000 and Otoh's millions). |

If Fluffy and the rest of the team despises speculators then why can't they just work under the radar and let the technology speak for itself instead of constantly yacking on twitter and btctalk?
XMR devs aren't required to take vows of silence and live out ascetic existences in monastic conditions. Fluffy is allowed to have a life, express himself freely, and do what he wants. Here on Monero Mountain we mustangs and ponies like to have fun (and DRINK). Your sense of entitlement to control his social media interaction is exactly why he needed to teach you a lesson in “how the cow ate the cabbage.”  Fluffy, if you see this, Happy National Wine Day! |

Monero needs and will miss the Whiny Ragequit people as much as Bitcoin needed and misses Mike Hearn and Gavin (IE, Not. At. All.).
Burning out the diseased morass of deadwood and detritus make the Monero forest flourish, just as Bitcoin has done under Core's unyielding, principled leadership.
Are you such a troll that you don't comprehend the damage this causes to the brand? A forest fire may kill some bunnies, squirrels, and possibly Bambi but is required for the health of the ecosystem. Fluffy actions amount to a planned controlled burn. That's good, proactive forest management and responsible stewardship. There is no damage to the brand, only increased awareness and respect; are you such a shitcoin pump gambling addict that you don't comprehend that? Fluffy's practical joke damaged the over-hyped brands with value based on trust in Professional ® Enterprise ® Leaders ®, making Monero shine in comparison. It was a wise decision based on what's best in the long term, not done for the sake of gratifying those with high time preferences. |

He intentionally set fire to other peoples money in the name of his ideals.
Fluffy may only burn other people's money if they foolishly grant him the power to do so, via their greedy tweet-based speculative gambling. That lesson is the entire point of the exercise. Here in Bitcoin Land we must trust code and not individuals. If you don't get that, even after a good cry and long night's rest, crypto isn't for you. Please understand the more you sob, remonstrate, and bitterly complain, the more it demonstrates exactly how well-timed and crucially important Fluffy's brave, selfless act really was. I loved every second of the Downfall parody (IMO one of the best subs of it ever), but it gives me no pleasure to give notice that you are the whiny rage-quitting Mike Hearn here. My hope is that you snowflakes will toughen up in time for the start of the actual rodeo, when BTC+ALT value exceeds that of IMF SDRs.  Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters! |

Bitcoin and Monero Demonstrate the Need for Governance - Dash Force News WTF is that thing on the desk? An MLP crossed with a wombat? Why is the Dash man touching her(?) butthole? Bitcoin and Monero are demonstrating the dangers of, not need for, governance. But if you want on-chain governance, Decred is the only game in town (you don't need to own 1000s of Instamined Masternodes to participate). https://voting.decred.org/ |

Price is higher than before the announcement. Time to get over it. Viva Monero!
Bitcoin runs on drama; Monero runs on comedy.
QED Fluffy's brilliant maneuver is reinvigorating the XMR project and associated markets. Heat from self-immolating speculators melted the snowflakes, redistributing increasingly precious XMR from weak to stronger hands. Many noobs experienced their first crypto-baptism of fire. Only the those worthy of Satoshi will learn, heal, and grow. The rest will move on to scams like Dash and OneCoin, where they will be fleeced yet again. |

Whew, what a hard day at work. Let me grab my adult coffee, sit in my adult chair, and go on the internet where all mature adults hang out.
*click* *click* *click*
Sweet mother of trolls, the person whose nick name is FluffyPony is apparently trolling the internet. OMG OMG OMG I'm so done with this XMR. I totally bought it for my personal use, and now I just can't use it anymore... My fragile heart is going to be damaged FOREVER!!! This is outrageous, MOM GET THAT MONERO POSTER OFF OUR LIVING ROOM I CAN'T LOOK AT IT ANYMORE!!!@#!!! I am an adult and I will not tolerate this. Let me post something about that...
This is basically people here today, that are buying cryptos to make fast money on pumps, and decided to gather here for daily dose of salt. "Well you know I bought it @ATH, and then announcement came and now my life savings are gone, it's all his fault". Well thank god you will not come here ever again kids, cuz I bought the technology and who gives a flying rats a** what someone does to entertain himself. What did you, lazy a** morons, do in you lifetime besides complaining. I bet you made some money on other cryptos and started to rub your titties saying how good you are in trading, now lost half of it and decided to go full PHD in complaining. Geniuses all around. Unbelievable. Just don't tell me you don't like trolling others. If I would be in Fluffys spot, I would laugh my a** so hard right now, with that proud-of-myself look on my face. I would even make T-Shirts saying "Don't buy me".
This is too good, I had to make an account for this.
Epic post! The butthurt and salt everywhere prove how badly this needed to happen. Hitler Reacts to Fluffypony's Monero Announcement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2WfedZG7boSo many entitled little Hitlers dead by their own hands in their basement führerbunkers today. Monero needs and will miss the Whiny Ragequit people as much as Bitcoin needed and misses Mike Hearn and Gavin (IE, Not. At. All.). Burning out the diseased morass of deadwood and detritus make the Monero forest flourish, just as Bitcoin has done under Core's unyielding, principled leadership. |
