Yea i did , im just super anxious right now lol so i also posted here for more help :p

I'm a survivor, held ETH during that time, and never sold until it reached $280. I'm planning to hold it a little longer, waiting for better pricing once 2.0 comes.

Hey my Bustabit username is Loophole121 , I  joined Bustabit and when i was registering i clicked the "I don’t want a way to recover my account. If I forget my password, please lock my account permanently." option because i thought that i was able to make my own password on the next page not seeing that they have already given me a preset password that i didnt copy down.This was completely my fault but i could've sworn Bustabit didn't require password to withdraw back then so i didn't think much of it.

I was wondering if i could seek some assistance from the creator of the game on this thread to manually reset my password. If requested i can request proof that it is indeed my account , i have the IP address that was used to create the account on a ss and i also can take a picture of my Bitcoin wallet that i deposited from.

I still have access to the account but i just cannot withdraw anything without the password i dont have , i currently only have 18k bits in the account but there's no point in playing if i cannot withdraw any of the bits. May i please get some assistance so i can continue playing. I've contacted support about this already but i wasn't sure if that was going to reach them. I've heard of many cases of people being able to reset your password back then but i also heard that there's a new owner to the site.

-If by any chance the owner sees this please email dotdot0099@gmail.com

I assume you mean people who voice displeasure at Ryan's proposal to reallocate more of the block rewards away from miners? So far I never had a lack of faith in the dev team, they have been doing great work. But I do have a lack of faith in Ryan's direction.  

I can only speak for myself . I try to emphasise that Dash has fantastic technology and innovations, which lead me to Dash in the first place. I'm sure if you read all my posts you will see that written in more than one place. I am heavily invested in Dash and a masternode owner. So yes a disgruntled investor if thats how you wish to define it. I am happy with all aspects of Dash except the block allocation. I think it should reward miners more not less. Because I wish Dash to become a better store of value.

I am also entitled to express my viewpoint. Particularly when I see not only a failure to see an existing problem, but then a proposal which will make that problem worse. Of course I will express displeasure when I think my investment will suffer. I am trying to protect my investement just as you are with your fighting for the proposal. I can see Ryan/your side. I just disagree with it. However I sometimes think some of the proposal backers refuse to question their belief (or entertain in any way that it could have the wrong effect). By debates on here and on discord it is obvious people are not listening

Yup, 100 days really is a LOT of time.

Remember when James Comey came out 7 days before the election and said that he was reopening the case into Hillary Clinton? I honestly think that is one of the things (not the only variable, but one of them) that helped in changing the fate of the 2016 election. That may not have the same effect now in regards to Biden, as people don't trust AG Barr and the FBI director Christopher Wray as they (liberals and some moderates) consider them Trump cronies. Guess we weren't so so hyper partisan back in 2016.

Thanks for the advice. Wont give them anything!

It's an idea, though I think it would probably see about as much support as the technical arguments I've advanced on here have.

The fact is that most people are happier to let Dash slip continuously down the rankings than to challenge long held assumptions which incur an element of discomfort & risk. Those that are not just sell out and move on. We'll see what happens over the coming period as it looks like we're heading into a growth phase for crypto in general. If Dash does'nt perform as anticipated (or pumps & then stalls & burns at the next MN-high count like the last time), than at least the community will have an alternative explanation to consider which has had a decent airing.

@JollyGood There is no "negativity".

There is a challenge to the idea that for a mined coin, inflating the supply on a purely numerical basis rather than subjecting it to competitive mining, is healthy and may in fact cause capital to migrate to other assets if it's looking for a store of value. This theory seems to have been endorsed by observations.

Speaking for myself, I've promoted Dash for many years on the basis that it can do what bitcoin cannot. i.e. support the archetype of a highly valued, scarce digital commodity while making it super-useable.

However what gave Dash a competitive edge was inheriting bitcoin's monetary properties while decoupling a logical aspect of the protocol to provide services. Doing that effectively turned Dash from a gold "nugget" to a gold "coin". (But note that even in the archetype, the gold coin is still solid, not hollow).

The beauty of Dash in this respect is that it's capable of conserving the mining protocol, not at the expense of service provision. It solves many problems at once - for example payment confirmation can be delivered instantly while allowing the mining protocol as much time as it needs to create multiple confirmations. Other "coins" had to speed up the blocktime to to do this and ended up with orphaned blocks all over the place. Dash could also turn the masternode network into a coherent backend for client applications that require realtime consensus. The LLMQ aspect of the network is superbly thought through and orchestrates the service and mining protocols harmoniously to deliver realtime services instantaneously while, again allowing the mining protocol to operate on its own terms.

These are all great innovations. But they're all lost if the primary supply is no longer subjected to competitive mining in the first place. That's where the capital value lies with bitcoin, therefore that's where it lies with Dash. (Why else would you inherit the bitcoin mining protocol). We are not a service. We are a capital asset that's more versatile than bitcoin. It's the archetype.

A service is not unique, you can pick up "fast payments" anywhere, you can pick up "privacy" anywhere, you can pick up "ROI" anywhere, you can pick up "hope" anywhere, you can pick up "decentralisation" anywhere, you can pick up "limited supply" anywhere.

What you cannot pick up anywhere is these three things in combination:

 • a highly mined coin consistent with bitcoin's scarcity in terms of effort needed to access the supply
 • a highly versatile service-oriented network
 • a first mover born in the altcoin boom of 2014

Throw any one of those 3 away and you've got nothing. Reduce the mining element and you just dilute the value of the chain. The services are easily reproducible without the mining and at very low cost. It isn't a question of reward ratio, it's more importantly a question of what proportion of our supply is inflated through competitive effort and what proportion is inflated on a purely nominal basis (like the FED does). We have moved far too far towards the latter.

If competitive mining is considered dispensable, then EVERYTHING is thrown into reverse. We no longer deliver scarcity to the market, we deliver utility. We are a technology (software) product who's utility will be considered as dispensible as we considered our own mining protocol dispensible. We're no longer even competing in the same market sector as our previous contemporaries but rather alongside the newer proof of stake networks who can simply blow us away when it comes to technical versatility since they don't inherit the bitcoin protocol but rather a pure utility oriented protocol designed from the ground up for service delivery.
 
In summary, the opinions I'm posting here are no different than those that I've expressed for the last 5 years. I don't need any lessons in how to be "positive about Dash". I still see Dash as having (potentially) a very optimistic future if people screw their heads back on the right way and don't lose sight of what made this project rare and investible in the first place. The only thing that's changed is background narrative.

This fight is very popular, if we close the thread, we won't be able to discuss the updates of this fight.

Honestly in recent days / week or so I've been learning towards thinking that Biden is going to win both the popular vote and the electoral college. I really don't see how swing voters are going to agree with Trump and his rhetoric, and people are going to be voting in droves against him.

Coronavirus and the economy taking a massive hit has really horribly hurt Trump, and Trump isn't able to admit that some of this can be said to be his fault due to him not being quick enough with his response and taking leadership.

I said before he'd be able to get out of this if he showed that he was doing all that he could. But I really don't see Trump being able to get out of this one as nicely as he gets out of everything else.

I think suchmoon is going to be 0.1btc richer!  

Biden leads by >10% in most polls but a lot can happen in 100 days.

I have difficulty understanding that too. I guess it is both a lack of faith in Dash development team and an inability to cope with a severe bear market.
Bear markets do require patience and a determination to see things through, as does project development.

Why don't you write it down? Give me your money and I'll give you some useless tokens! Your marketing will not work. Because you have been exposed from all sides. With fake teams, don't try to get investors anymore. No one will invest in your project. Because we will warn everyone not to invest in such scams.

If you think about it, UCIFETH IS the great equalizer. Just about anyone could invest: rich or poor, young or old, boy or girl; anyone. All you need is an internet connection and access to Ethereum. And btw, you WILL earn 1% in 24 hours FOREVER.

I think Biden will win both the race and the popular vote. Polling suggests he's pulling ahead, and I can't see what Trump can do really to change things, other than get on top of Covid-19, which unfortunately seems very unlikely to happen. I don't think he's handled the BLM protests at all well. He is alienating more and more people, and when it's on something as fundamental as race, it's difficult to get these voters back again.

Psychology of a Market Cycle

----------------------

I think a few people in this Dash sub forum are still in the 'Depression' / 'Disbelief' state right now (thereby thinking of all kinds of doomsday scenario's),
while the rest has moved on and are in the 'Hope' state.

Hopefully burning 46M tokens can improve the quality of prices on the exchange because this is quite large in the available supply, but I think by burning tokens about 46M is still small compared to the circulation available in the market.

I said this to JollyGood weeks ago, this thread should be closed IMO, it's useless.

You already have a resounding result which shows Fury is favored by the majority, you don't need to get to 100 votes to tally the percentages—just scale up the numbers.

This thread should be closed until the fight is announced, or at least the title should b changed because its misleading.
