Why do you think HumanIQ is sybil-attack resistant? Or fake photo resistant? Or fake audio resistant?
What if I show a photo of my grand-grand-parent, that is already dead, and modify my voice using audio editor ?
How can your algorithm tell me fake account from a real person?
Basically what I'm trying to say is that 'proof-of-face' is 99% accurate, while we need 100% accuracy. I can't allow a 1% chance, that my neighbor will steal my money. How can you defend your system from technical point of view?
How do you protect against spoofing ?

Dash had a partial pre-mine. Ethereum had a partial-pre-mine too.
Dash and ETH are equal in that regard.
And Satoshi was mining silently way before I heard about Bitcoin for the 1st time (in 2013). I consider it almost like pre-mine. So I don't care either way.

about Dash premine:
yes it existed. I admit. But everyone takes money home.
Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin pocketed 1 million BTC.
Vitlik Buterin of Ethereum pocketed 600,000 Ethers.
Evan Duffield of Dash pocketed about 1 million Dash.
===
Same for the big corporations:
Bill Gates of Microsoft pocketed a ton of MS shares
Zuckerberg of Facebook pocketed a ton of Facebook shares
..and so on.
For me a crypto-coin is both a digital gold coin and a share in the network
Basically I see nothing wrong with it, as long as it is a partial pre-mine, rather than 100% centralized pre-mine (like Ripple XRP).
Dash follows Satoshi's vision, and Dash is Bitcoin done Right !

SyGambler and others: Do you realize, that next year amount of demand will double? Meaning that many transactions will get stuck not for 3 hours, but for 3 days, on average.
Either that, or users will run to alt coins.
Network scalability must be planned in advance, or at least having a road map, that is agreed by the majority consensus. Bitcoin network lacks even agreed upon road map.

You, while bashing alt coins, don't see that Bitcoin is broken. Completely broken. 3 hour transactions is not why I bought it back in 2013. If I knew about 3 hour transactions in Bitcoin back then, I would never buy one in the first place.
And until the block size problem gets resolved my Bitcoin selling will continue, until I run out of bitcoins. (Or until block size increase.)
People here don't want to admit that Bitcoin is broken. And will remain broken until it's block size gets an increase.

except pre-mining, are there other severe flaws in Dash in your opinion?

Monero focuses less on GUI. I am buying it, but in small amounts. I want an easy to use drop-in replacement for Bitcoin, if possible.
Dash should come clean and admit about it's pre-mine of course.
I think that partial pre-mine is fine (Vitalik from Ethereum also did it. After all he can't work for free. And I can't expect him to work for free).
Full pre-mine, like in Ripple is a no-no, of course.

Okay, if you were running away from Bitcoin, where would you run ? Fiat ? Gold ? Other crypto-coin ? And why ?
Bitcoin stopped providing me a service. Sorry, but a 3 hour transaction time is a dis-service.
That's not why I bought it for, back in 2013. I was promised a 10-minute transactions back then.
And even if no other crypto (besides Bitcoin) would ever exist, I would sell my bitcoins anyway.

Bitcoin has problems that are worse than anything else: namely the (lack of) scalability. 3 hour transactions. Segwit will not fix any of that -- maybe it will delay the bottleneck for 6-to-12 months, at best. Lightning Network has too many problems (both security and centralization), as described in this paper: http://www.wallstreettechnologist.com/2016/10/03/lightning-network-will-it-save-bitcoin-or-break-it/As far as I'm concerned getting huge blocks (1 gigabyte; 1000x times more than today) + SPV wallets is the reasonable path going forward. 144 blocks /day x 1 GB = 144 GB/day, or 52 TB/year in block size. Only data centers or powerful rich-users work-stations will be able to hold that, but with SPV wallets it seems secure. Also 52 TB's DB is doable using 10 TB hard disks, perhaps in disk array for advanced home users putting $10,000 workstations at home. Much better than getting "central hubs". And SPV wallets (Electrum) seem secure... Dash, unlike Bitcoin, subsidize not only miners but also full-nodes. With a subsidy, buying several hard drives for big fat blocks is doable. So yes, achieving on-chain scalability, de-centralization and reasonable fees (under $0.30/transaction) is possible. I'm also wondering if there's a way to periodically re-generate a new genesis block (to delete previous history), keep balances and re-compute few blocks after-wards. This will improve disk space concerns. (but not network traffic) |

I don't trust Adam Back, Nick Szabo, or Gregory Maxwell. Those are some one else's legendary heroes, definitely not my heroes. I trust more Roger Ver, Amanda Johnson, Mike Hearn, Vitalik Buterin and -- most importantly -- my own judgement. And my brain tells me that Adam Back, Nick Szabo, Gregory Maxwell (and Peter Wuelle) are all WRONG. (just like all Ripple developers, that are trying to centralize the crypto space and take my liberty away; It won't fly here. Not with me and not with my fellow investor-friends). ==== Fundamental problem with Bitcoin: Lightning Network leads to centralization and less security http://www.wallstreettechnologist.com/2016/10/03/lightning-network-will-it-save-bitcoin-or-break-it/ |

Hi all ! ATTENTION ! Due to Bitcoin community stupidity, lack of progress, and on-going scalability problems of the Bitcoin Network, I have decided to sell a large chunk of my Bitcoin holdings for a combination of cash, Dash and Ethereum. (--mostly Dash) This came after few days ago several of my Bitcoin transactions took 3 hours to complete rather than 10 minutes normally (and one transaction took as long as 26 (!!!) hours to complete due to an artificially limited block size in Bitcoin. I see the problem as a very fundamental problem in the Bitcoin network, that might resolve itself, or it might not. In which case bitcoin Network will go the Way of The Nokia. There is a theoretical technical solution to this problem (just like Nokia could turn-around itself during 2011/2012 era, but didn't), but politics and dumbness of the Bitcoin community prevent solution from happening. More info: https://medium.com/@ViaBTC/why-we-must-increase-the-block-size-and-why-i-support-bitcoin-unlimited-90b114b3ef4aBitcoin’s Transaction Backlog Hits All-Time High https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoins-transaction-backlog-hits-all-time-high/Former Bitcoin Developer Hearn Calls Bitcoin A Failure, Sells All Coins http://allcoinsnews.com/2016/01/15/former-bitcoin-developer-hearn-calls-bitcoin-a-failure-sells-all-coins/https://blog.plan99.net/the-resolution-of-the-bitcoin-experiment-dabb30201f7#.pijdkhwd4-- -"Technologov" Additionally: I really like "Amanda Johnson" and her Dash school on YouTube. She convinced me to invest in Dash and give it a chance. (Without her I would go more into Litecoin, Ethereum and Fiat dollars) Here is a Dash channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAzD2v9Yx4a4iS2_-unODkAI was aware of Dash since 2014 (Darkcoin back then), but didn't pay too much attention, because it's only feature over Bitcoin at the time was coin-mixing, a feature I wasn't interested in, at the time. When did other features appeared ? paying to full nodes ? voting by Master-nodes ? paying to employees ? instantSend ? Additionally, I'm willing to invest in Dash-Electrum development. (Since I'm a Bitcoin Electrum user right now, and like SPV light wallets in general) How is that proceeding, and what it's status ? Would a donation help to develop it faster ? For me, the Bitcoin slow transaction debacle is a catastrophe, but perhaps also a new beginning... Plus I'm calling a large blocks solution for Bitcoin -- be it classic, XT, Unlimited or whatever else. Bigger blocks is a must ! |

>Sorry for bumping this, but was this ignored or missed?
Missed ? No.
Indeed most of the blocks are full (>998), and the few smaller blocks are produced half-empty due to the Great Chinese Firewall, which blocks some Bitcoin transactions.

This is the largest number of unconfirmed transactions in the history of Bitcoin. https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-countI want to ask one thing. What is really causing this? I know that there is no sudden increase in Bitcoin users large enough to cause this. There are some Legendary members here that imply there is someone who is spamming the network and they are pointing to some people who were involved with Bitcoin from the very beginning. Are they only rumors or true? Even a small shortage of super-important asset can cause a huge-mega-spike in prices. For example around 1975, during oil price shock, the actual shortage of oil according to various rumors were only 3%, yet the price spike was 20x times (2000%). Why ? Because oil is a super-important item everyone needs. So is water, and Bitcoin transactions. Even a 5% shortage in block size vs natural demand and user growth, accumulated for several days will cause a huge mega spike in transaction fees (and mega-massive delays for those users, whom set standard fees) |

Paying more doesn't solve anything. Under a free market economy paying more (higher demand) leads to more supply. In Bitcoin world, supply (network capacity) stays the same.
Without increasing block size, Bitcoin network is doomed (which will force me to alt-coins). Because 3 hour Bitcoin transactions are a non-option.

Hi All ! Yesterday some of my transactions took 3 hours to complete. One of them is stuck for an entire day ! (and still incomplete) Analyzing why, it seems to be due to block size limit of 1 MB, that is getting full. Here is the transaction that stuck for an entire day (24 hours). https://blockchain.info/tx/fa7a3e35921fbdf6090f11c2fa58a93627ad65f37bd6d7fd50796e42316efebcWhat do you think of it ? If indeed block size limit is to blame then I call for an immediate upgrade our block size. (or else The Bitcoin Network may become worthless). -Technologov |

Technical Questions:
1. How do you plan to "mount" (shoehorn) desktop graphical user interface on top of web-based node.js backend ?
2. Will it speak to local docker container, or to remote full node ?
3. Will it be based on Qt ? Gtk ? Something else ?
4. How will mobile GUI speak to node.js ?
5. How will language bindings work ? (python will speak via TCP/IP to node.js ? Or somehow else ?)
6. Why the foundation of Rise is based on Lisk, as opposed, to, say, Ethereum ?
(Ethereum already has language bindings, will lacks desktop GUI and lacks side-chains...)
Is it simpler to extend Lisk compared to Ethereum ?

Where is the source code ?
Do you have testnet nodes up & running ?
Can we look at it ?
