Apparently The DAO / ETH hacked??? - shoulda stayed in DASH  All of these new technologies like DAO, Lisk, Waves are such rushed code to get the hype and $$$ up they arent secure or have not withstood the test of time like BTC DASH.... Common sense peoples! The situation with DAO/ETH shows us why DASH's "good enough" approach to security is not adequate, nor acceptable. Today we're seeing some reasons why Good Crypto is meticulously peer-reviewed and cautiously deployed, not just half-baked and rushed out. If I had exposure to a coin with homespun newfangled crypto (like DASH) I'd be very nervous right now....  Sure idiot - its based from the bitcoin code which is infinitely more secure, even more so than XMR. Dash code has been reviewed by security experts and been around for years, still unbroken....nice try fool. The DAO, Lisk etc....was developed in what, 3-4 months of rushed coding to meet hype demand. Dash was forked from Peercoin or Litecoin or whatever ages ago. The original code didn't include cruft and kludges like Masternodes, Budget Blocks, and DuffSend (IE broken CoinJoin). Dash has all of one (Kristov) positive security review, back in the Darkcoin Age of 2014. Meanwhile, dozens of security/crypto experts (including the creator of CoinJoin) have offered negative security reviews of Darkcoin, and recently, Dash. But the negative opinions which fail to confirm your bias don't count, right? When it all goes DAO and ends in tears, don't say I didn't warn you. |

DAO hacked, apparently using recursive calls to split (i.e. withdraw ETH). Interesting times ahead. Crypto never fails to disappoint.
DASH, ETH, and DAO just got the wake-up call Monero received a year ago thanks to the Troll Block Attack. It's time they realized you don't skimp on security just because you are very, very eager to chase some fun new shiny thingy. This situation validates the XMR core devs' meticulous, careful approach. |

One thing bitcoin was able to do was to find ways around the Byzantine Generals problem. This same problem is solved in the SAFE network.
But SAFE doesn't use proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, or any kind of blockchain to get around the BGP? Where is the peer-reviewed cryptanalysis supporting this extraordinary claim? |

The trend is clear:  Monero will continue to gain market cap as Dash hemorrhages value. Dash's best days are far in the past, in the Darkcoin age. Having no plans to add competitive new scaling features like MAST, RBF/CPFP, CSV/CLTV, SEGWIT, sidechains, and Lightning, Dash will stagnate as Bitcoin and Monero advance. Monero's future is very bright, as it stands to gain from an official GUI, multisig, i2p, 0MQ, and (the Holy Grail of e-cash privacy) RingCT.  |

I cant really take your arguments seriously when all the information you use to back up your claims are at the very least 100 years old. What was relevant back then is not relevant now a days . The right to self defense does not get old and die. Are you a public school educated millennial or what? That's not excuse for being ignorant. Here, let me help by educating you about a case from just 8 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller#Second_Amendment_findings_and_reasoning_for_the_decision"In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Supreme Court undertook its first-ever "in-depth examination" of the second amendment's meaning Id. at 635. After a lengthy historical discussion, the Court ultimately concluded that the second amendment "guarantees the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation" (id. at 592); that "central to" this right is "the inherent right of self-defense"(id. at 628); that "the home" is "where the need for defense of self, family, and property is most acute" (id. at 628); and that, "above all other interests," the second amendment elevates "the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home" (id. at 635). Based on this understanding, the Court held that a District of Columbia law banning handgun possession in the home violated the second amendment." "The core holding in D.C. v. Heller is that the Second Amendment is an individual right intimately tied to the natural right of self-defense." |

So... Everyday civilians should be butchered by bad guys because it is in their nature, and they only use knives... got it.
Yes, you got it. Single mothers protecting their children from bad guys with knives should only be allowed to use knives (and upper-body strength) in self-defense. It wouldn't be fair to give them an advantage over their assailants in the form of a gun. A single mother has no right to effectively resist initiation of violence with overwhelming retaliatory violence, only the right to bleed out as she sees and hears the bad guys doing whatever they like to her child. /(former) MP Jo Cox logic  |

Do you believe this post? I believe it. "We can't waste time responding to every accusation" is exactly the kind of sniveling deflection expected from the SJW PC Police ratfuckers at Google. Trump should sponsor strategic Adwords campaigns to compensate for Alphabet's chicanery.  |

I hope she will rest in peace People are sick to kill for such reason. Freedom of expression is under attack when people just kill each other when they think differently. Hmmm... The secret services started the work?
Another sick conspiracy theory ever thought there are also mentally ill people. Not everything that happens is a conspiracy theory. The timing is suspicious. Brexit was probably going to win. Until someone started a rumor about the crazy evil gunman shouting "Britain First" as he murdered the helplessly unarmed Marxist MP. Americans were in open revolt about Federally-imposed multi-gender public school restrooms and locker room showers. Until someone shot 50 gay guys in a nightclub. If there was a conspiracy to make the sheeple fearful and stampede them away from the surging alt-right movement, it would do exactly those type of things (which create salient examples of reactionary terror while making martyrs of dead leftists). Remember the militia movement? I do. It ended as soon as the OKC Federal building blew up. And that's why we got a 2nd Clinton term. There is more than a hint of pattern and practice to these public perception molding events. |

Can we settle this with trial by combat? I'd love to see Marshall in sumo gear. We could set the match up to benefit a charity (perhaps one that helps overweight, prediabetic children).  Hahaha, that visual made me laugh pretty good. Thanks for the free laugh, wish I could pay you for it. Thanks, but the drama (inclusive of your enjoyment) is its own reward. If you like my silly posts, please consider donating to Monero core devs (in my name or your own). |

I don't really get where your going with this, i mean fires are not that rare so fire extinguishers are kind of needed, also flat tyres, again pretty common really so Always handy to have a spare.
Having to defend yourself against gun wielding robbers in the uk??? Not so common.
The point is to rubbish your gutless arms-length statistical approach to calculating the utility of kinetic mechanical advantage in emergency situations, and ridicule your utilitarian approach to considering the existence/desirability of the human right of armed self-defense. Let me be clear. Real Americans #ShootBack. That's why our ruggedly self-reliant citizens are no longer the property of the Crown and Throne. English Pinkos #DieCoweringAndWhimpering. That's why they remain the helplessly infantalized property of the Crown and Throne, as their children shall also be, as since time immemorial have been their fathers, mothers, and grandparents. This isn't about the likelihood of gun wielding robbers; if you are not free to bear arms you are a slave. |

To be fair, the uk has some of the least gun crime in the world. Obviously its very difficult to reduce gun crime down to 0. America obviously has no chance to do anything about gun crime due to so many gun toting citizens.
Armed Americans *DO* have the chance to "do anything about gun crime." We #ShootBack. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=armed+single+mother+defends+home&ia=webHow did that galactically obvious, robustly illustrated point so effortlessly fly right over your helpless peasant head? And that's not even getting into the fact that absent "so many gun toting citizens" the USA would still be part of the UK (its citizens remaining chattel property of the Crown and Throne). Well that woman had a gun and protected herself because everyone in america has a gun. Its not like you need a gun to protect yourself in the uk since armed Robberies are pretty rare occurrences. Also did you just seriously use america declaring independence from the uk as a reason why you should have guns nowadays? I think you may have misunderstood me, i agree that yous should be allowed guns, there's so many guns in america that your all screwed, it's too late for gun control for you. Oh sure, and it's not like you need a fire extinguisher, since arson is a pretty rare occurrence. And you don't need a spare tire, since flats are rare. And you don't need life insurance, since you only die once (unless Jon Snow). I bet that filthy pinko MP wishes someone with a gun was around to stop her from getting stabbed, kicked, and shot in the face until dead. I bet her now-motherless children and widowered husband also wish that. Since I'm already here, I'll leave you with a fucking clue. It may be the first you've ever encountered! http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/07/rough-men/tl;dr: Not all Brits are helpless neutered plebs. I went into a public-‘ouse to get a pint o’beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
…
O makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap;
An’ hustlin’ drunken sodgers when they’re goin’ large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit. Be careful. If you look down your nose at armed Americans any harder, you might get eye strain. |

I believe it's called Zardoz, with Sean Connery.
I need to rewatch Zardoz to see how horrible it is. I saw it as a kid and just thought it was really weird. Speaking as a connoisseur of Cold War era post-apocalyptic dystopianism, Zardoz is great fun. That's why it was paid homage by Rick & Morty.  Nearly pissed myself laughing the first time I saw that!  |
