I understand that you are doing your utmost to avoid conflict and confrontation both here and in the Darkcoin thread, as evidenced by the following post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg10767687#msg10767687 and this is of course very commendable and appreciated. Unfortunately I wish I could say the same thing for other members of the Darkcoin community. from https://darkcointalk.org/threads/official-statement-on-rebranding-to-dash.4297/page-3. This gets further complicated by the legal situation. The Darkcoin Foundation is contemplating filing a Notice of Opposition to an application for a Trademark on "Dash" by a third party http://tsdr.uspto.gov/caseviewer/pdf?caseId=86377359&docIndex=1#docIndex=1. One way to do this is to show prior use. So if the Darkcoin Foundation can acquire the rights to "Dashcoin" and since the use of Dashcoin in commerce precedes that application date of the of the mark being opposed http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn86377359&docId=APP20140829072944#docIndex=9&page=1 The Darkcoin Foundation has a good chance to oppose the third party application and claim the name "Dash" for its self. This of course hinges on one thing obtaining the rights to the name Dashcoin, It is here where the situation gets really messy and a very dangerous precedent is being set.  

The issue comes down to the ownership of the name "Dashcoin" Does the developer actually own the name or is he merely acting as a trustee on behalf of the broader community. In the latter case he has no right to sell the name to a third party.  The issue here is the same regardless of whether the market capitalization of the coin is 6000 USD or 4,000,000,000 USD. It is a critical principle that affects every decentralized crypto currency. Developers do not control or "own" the coin.  Of course if Dashcoin as a coin dies as a result the issue becomes moot, which of course is the simple solution for the Darkcoin Foundation. But what if the Dashcoin community takes over control of the coin as is apparently becoming the case away from the developer and continues using what is rightfully theirs, namely the name Dashcoin? There is already a precedent where this kind of community takeover of a coin from a developer has occurred namely with Monero. Then the result becomes that the Dashcoin developer simply scammed the Darkcoin Foundation by selling them something he had no rights to. This of course undermines the entire legal plan to trademark "Dash".

From the OP:

Hey Pat,

I have nothing but respect to you and the team. But has it occur to you guys that maybe some people just got tired of waiting and just decided to just wait till this is all done.
I know we only have one shot at this but It's never goin to be perfect. We can only do better as we go. something will always come up, if thats the reason for delaying every time then this will never be released. We can't prevent something from coming up. No such thing as error proof. But we  iron things out as we go. But hey what do I know. I'm NEM supporter from the start and will always be. So Do what is necessary. Maybe releasing it will get more people testing it. It is a double edged sword. Do what you must. A real deadline must be put to the table. Cheer guys. No hate from me, all but love. I thank you for the work the team has done.

Those big sized transactions will be included in the blockchain much easier. The update will take effect in 4 days, which is plenty of time for all pools to update. We need 90% consensus (mined blocks) on the update and this is the reason to be mandatory.

It has all the innovative feathers of BCN as they come, plus an official GUI, without the premine. If you don't want to use most to all of your RAM just to send/receive transactions, and don't like massive premines, this is the best CryptoNote. It's not merely a clone, and it certainly isn't dead.

The next version of the GUI wallet is here

You can grab it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dashcoinwalletgui/files/dashcoinwalletgui-1.1.0-windows.zip/download
It is still Windows only right now.

Changes made:

• Supports multiple wallets
• Cleaned up and optimized some of the code
• Shows progress while syncing blockchain
• More form validation
• A cancel button has been added to the send page
• Blank passwords are now supported
• Enter key opens wallet as well as button

To import an old wallet, copy the wallet's .bin.keys, .bin.address.txt, and optionally it's .bin file to the wallets folder in the GUI wallet.  It no longer needs to be called wallet.bin.  Any wallet name will work.

dash is alive of course, what i like about it in the beginning was it tried to be as cheap as possible traded at a otc thread and a sub satoshi exchange.

mined with nvdia and amd gpu, cpu, windows and linux....released when miners are optimized..no question about fairness.

right now it is still very cheap, at less than 2 btc you can have a billion dsh.

in time maybe dash will be independent from bytecoin development..might change to POS after all coins are mined like XDN..who knows, i'm keeping a few millions long term.

edit: and there are active devs

See FAQ:  http://dashcoin.net/faq/
"My transaction says sent, but it never showed up."


Long story short:

* Your daemon is programmed to sends transactions up to 20,000 bytes
* Minergate is programmed to accept and send transactions up to 10,000 bytes
* Minergate controls big chunk of the network
Result:   Transactions in range 10,000 - 20,000  have hard time to pass

If an attacker flood the network with transactions just over 10,000 bytes (like 10,536 bytes or 11,057 bytes), it makes practically impossible for real transactions over 10,000 bytes to pass.

The transaction size depends on the number of inputs, outpouts (payees), and mixin. You can easily have a transactions for amount 10,000DSH with size 12,000 bytes   and in the same time you can easily have a transaction for amount 5,000,000DSH with size 3,000bytes.

I released Subtoshi about a month and a half ago, so Dashcoin could be traded.  Dashcoin has since been listed on Poloniex, and the trade volume on Subtoshi has dropped.  As of now, Subtoshi is costing me more to run than it is bringing in.  I am glad that Subtoshi was able to get Dashcoin trading going, but now that trading has died down, and for the reasons I stated before, I have decided to close down Subtoshi.  Thank you to everyone who used Subtoshi. I hope it provided useful.

The plan for Subtoshi's closing is as follows
Deposits will be disabled on October 26th, a week from today.
Trading will be disabled on October 31st.
After that, the exchange will remain open for withdrawals until December 31st.

I will have a more official announcement later on the website, and will be sending out an email regarding the closing of Subtoshi to everyone who has registered.

I plan to be done with the GUI wallet before the end of this week.

seems to be working

No, they are not.  Anyone who is familiar with NEM would know that we had an open, transparent, taint analysis which last for several months.  Anyone was able to review the list of stakeholders and weed out sockpuppets, hundreds were removed that way.  UF's sockpuppet accounts were gone from the list before taint analysis began and the registrations ended.

You keep trolling and insisting that UtopianFuture had 100s of sockpuppets but it's a rhetorical fallacy as taint analysis would had weeded him out months ago, and that hypothetical scandal which would way worse than UtopianFuture padding fake popularity in NEM back in January.

The reality is this - NEM has over 1000 veteran stakeholders and it has the fairest distribution in crypto history.  That's compared to your NxT / Qora / Sim which had distributions to less than 100 accounts (of which, due to lack of taint analysis, was arguably only a dozen or so real people).

I'm in charge of twitter now and will try to provide more technical details on dev.

Please follow! Also, what kind of information do you think people would want right now?

Good job guys.  Lets move past this.  Don't feed the trolls anymore as it is a closed case.  I hope this thread is modded so that troll removal can be enforced.


Lets have a bigger, better, badder community than any other coin except BTC itself !  (And maybe one day we'll be bigger than BTC

+1，Don't forget, there is a very good organizer：UtopianFuture
