Dash is a scam and inept technology. You apparently don't read all my posts in the Altcoin Discussion forum, else you would have known that I found egregious flaw in the math of InstantX and for many other reasons Dash is scam.

There is no reliable anonymity technology yet (including not Monero/Cryptonote due to unprovable/uncharacterizeable meta-data correlation). Maybe Zerocash (z.cash) which is coming...maybe...

Scammers are good at going to conferences and making promotions to sucker more greater fools who don't understand the detailed issues.

That's why I ask questions, amigo.  I have enough trouble (as a non-professional) just trying to keep up with Bitcoin.  The "alts" I am leaving for later, more learning up a STEEP curve for this 59 yr old.  And your comments have been very useful in detecting bad technology that I could not have found on my own.

Of course, I asked because they were there at the show.  They paid the fee to be part the conference, so they have enough of someone's money for the booth, brochures and expenses for their personnel.

They have money (some estimated a $million) because of premine scam and then owning the masternodes which leech a double-digit annual ROI from the coin. Since there is no usership, that means the bagholder investors are financing this.

Let's not forget that Peter Thiel awarded a $100,000 grant to Vitalik. Ethereum may not be only the investment scam that it appears to be to me, but also a gambit by consortium of the world's largest 42 banks to catch up with us and outlaw us:

Looking ahead, expect to see various deployments of DLT, along with further attention given to arguably DLT’s 'killer app', smart contracts (Slide 95).



Of particular interest will be whether the Open Ledger Project, which will be managed by the the Linux Foundation, can address the many governance problems observed around software development in 2015 (Slide 118).

Also expect to hear more about Ethereum in 2016 and the decentralized applications being built on its public blockchain, including Slock.it, Augur and Vunk (Slide 109).

Well apparently those banks are clueless that Ethereum can not solve the fundamental flaw that provides decentralization. Or more likely they realize that it will end up centralized and thus they retain control!

Note the viable solution for Ethereum may be to centralize only the verification, and keep the voting power decentralized. This is essentially what I am proposing for my PoW design.

Hello Zooko,

I'm interested in reading your goals and motivations for taking on anonymity in general or anonymous digital cash specifically as your priority project?

Haven't you seen the new laws coming (eventually in all Five Eyes countries I've heard from reliable sources) that will ban end-to-end encryption?

To that end do you expect to support a viewkey or other way that users individually or a global backdoor, so that Zcash can be compliant with the lurch towards a 666 NWO which seems to be rapidly taking form now (and I assert will accelerate with the full global contagion sovereign debt collapse 2017 -2020)?

I am all for the ideology, but I am also pragmatic. We as society may have to fight with social networking and the political-economic revolution of a DIY economy, e.g. self-publishing, 3D printing, etc.. I have been looking at the concept of a decentralized social network. Any comments?

Bold my emphasis. The proposed legislation in the United Kingdom does not ban end to end encryption. What it does however is to require those companies that provide proprietary encryption products to retain a back door key and make this back door key available to law enforcement. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/11970391/Internet-firms-to-be-banned-from-offering-out-of-reach-communications-under-new-laws.html?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#link_time=1446482200 There is a critical difference here in that FLOSS end to end encryption tools remain perfectly legal and secure while proprietary end to end encryption tools would have a back door. This is not unlike the FinCEN guidance in the United States https://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html where proprietary development funding models for crypto currency (using the emission to fund development) will likely lead to a legal requirement for MSB registration while FLOSS development funding models can retain their decentralized virtual currency designation and avoid the MSB registration requirement. In Canada there was a proposed law that did not pass that required providers of email servers to retain records for law enforcement with an exception for those who ran their own mail server from their own homes.. A more relevant question to ask would have been: Given that you plan to use a portion of the emission over the next 4 years to fund your company, have you registered as an MSB with FinCEN or have you obtained guidance from FinCEN that MSB registration is not required in your case?

The pattern here is starting to become apparent. Click I agree on some company's terms for the use of proprietary software and become a slave, click I do not agree and use FLOSS tools instead and remain free.

Thanks ArticMine.

Yes I am aware that the proposed legislation in the UK (also afaik similar legislation proposed in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia) only applies to service providers who offer encrypted services, not to open source code which users independently obtain, compile, and run on their own initiative. I was vaguely aware of this pending legislation and then I became more focused on it during my private discussions last month with the GadgetCoin team who have a P2P streaming technology named Streemo. The governments are not stupid to try to ban activity they can't possibly enforce (thus making the government look impotent), i.e. the government can't monitor/enforce against what each private citizen does in their home.

But I argue effectively the direction is to ban end-to-end encryption in general that does not provide a back door to national security agencies. The government can regulate the ISPs (internet service providers) and ban end-to-end encryption protocols that do not include a decryption key for national security agencies. I have also explained that using home computers as servers over asymmetric upload bandwidth home ISPs is a Communist economic plan (as I warned Bittorrent back in 2008 and offered them an economic solution for their tit-for-tat algorithm but they ignored me). And that protocols which allow illegal activities from unregulated home servers will be banned by ISPs and hosting providers. If you know of any technology to hide a protocol's patterns such that ISPs can't identify it, please enlighten me. There is some discussion of "Censorship resistance" in section 2.4 of Synereo's white paper, but that still seems to be inadequate.

Simply put, it is impossible to fight the government when there are choke points in the system which the government can effectively regulate. This is just common sense.

I added the following to that question for Zooko:

Edit: please be aware of a rebuttal by ArticMine (afaik is a Monero/Cryptonote developer) to my question about a possible ban on end-to-end encryption, also note the desire for an answer concerning registration with FinCEN for your plans to fund your corporation or foundation with an 11% royalty on currency emission (creation). Note I also mentioned that FinCEN issue in the "Fundamental challenges?" thread at the zcash forum. I have suggested you consider doing an ICO instead, and I think it would be wildly successful. IANAL so please do consult your own counsel, yet I will will make you aware of a thread of discussion I launched about whether crypto currencies are illegal unregistered investment securities under the Supreme Court "Howey test" in the USA. It seems likely that ICOs are illegal if openly offered to unsophisticated USA investors unless the ICO is registered with the SEC. The "Howey test" seems to be misconstrued by most interpretations and the Supreme Court explicitly stated that no obfuscation of the economic facts would diminish the efficacy of the intent of the securities law protection. Also there is some discussion about the interpretation of the FinCEN guidance which is an orthogonal issue to SEC regulations. The EU may have other regulations as well.

Another excellent piece, trollerc.  Thanks for posting it.

Europe is on the edge of becoming a neutered country, incapable of maintaining its society along the norms of "The West".  5 - 10 years after, they will become Islamicized.  It's already starting to happen, yet the Socialist Retards running EVERYTHING over there are hypnotized...

I wonder, trollerc, if the USA and/or Australia will allow their women to be harassed like that.  My guess is "no", but who knows.  At least in the West or South in the USA the Musloids would get an immediate ticket to their heaven, where their 72 goats await them.

[trollercoaster]

It wouldn't be tolerated down here, the establishment is shilling it's PC cancer pretty hard but most people can smell the bullshit.

It seems the closer you get to the cities the more of a zombie vibe you feel, so I'd basically like to build a big wall around the city and let them have their cultural enrichment.

Again, while I comprehend the arguments (and agree with some eg the idiocy of the PC movement), the seeming thought process that supposes some kind of preordained muslim plan to over run Europe is myopic in the geopolitical sense. Yes, it is very problematic and very confronting, and there are many examples of cultural clashes and norms being abused, in many cases horrifically. I don't think there is a viable solution in an expanding population. But I suggest it goes deeper than that.

As for Australia or the US not allowing it, well I would hope not. It is a despicable thing to do. Yet, the inhumane treatment of people doesn't stop at women. The US has life sentences for juvenile's, a horrific plea bargaining system and the stain that is Guantanamo. That isn't even to mention the treatment of black people in the States.

And Australia is without doubt a horrendously racist nation, since day dot. Aside from the indigenous population, it lets children be sexually abused in detention centres and inhumanely treats raped asylum seekers as political pawns and scapegoats. The politics of Australia is perhaps at the lowest point in history, where there is bipartisan support (only so not to give the other side a point of difference) for locking a small amount of people up on an island indefinitely to send a message to others not to come here, under the guise of the newest bogeyman - the dreaded people smugglers - those soulless human beings filling a market gap left by right wing bigots intent on keeping Australia 'beautiful'.

[...]Even those in the past who rebutted me with, "but the miners can be in every country and the USA can't control every country", have had to eat their words now that we've shown that China has monopolized mining and is even lying about their justification for 51% attacking Bitcoin. I was warning about Tragedy of the Commons centralization of control in 2013 and everyone said I was loony[1] and now even Germany is instituting the BigT lie to implement capital controls[2] (why do you think Merkel and the Troika allowed 1.1 million muslims to invade Germany! it was to make the people feel unsafe!). We the masses will never be able to have privacy from the government (from our society) until we all decide that priority is the most important and force our will on the government. That isn't going to happen for the masses until after they suffer through some totalitarianism in the 2017 - 2032 timeframe. Some of the masses are aware enough to perhaps not like NSA snooping (yet some support it as they support the military for their safety, nationalistic pride, and dominance of the USA as the reserve currency), but it isn't the most important priority that they are willing to fight for with all their effort and zeal. The Chinese (not all perhaps but enough do) actually support the single party Communist system, because afaik they think that people need to be disciplined and they think this provides a more harmonious society.

tabnloz your bleeding heart is understandable and perhaps even admirable, until you understand scientifically that if we allowforce too much change too fast, we destroy resiliency and fitness.

The action in Europe was not driven by a self-annealing free market, but rather by a conniving top-down powers-that-be (in synergy with the desire of most people for socialism, i.e. the Iron Law of Political Economics). And they are leading the world into Dark Age. I am attacking this problem from the angle of social networks and crypto currency.

What do you mean by 'their women?' I'm not into communism therefore my obvious allegiance is to my wife and females in my family, nobody else. That's the whole point of being anti-collectivism. In Germany and Sweden, the criminal elements travel in packs - and a lot of the females they attack probably vote for left-wing parties, or actively implement these policies in their employment at a government agency or NGO. After generations of social engineering, the men are looking at jail or even death at the hands of the police if they retaliate. They are looking at being stuck on a life support machine for protecting their own political opponents.

In other words, it's very easy being a keyboard warrior in the US, especially if you live somewhere like Nowheresville, Idaho. Incidentally, I don't see American males going after the likes of Soros and the people who work for him. What's your personal excuse for that? What's the point having all those weapons if you refuse to defend yourselves from domestic enemies? Or is that just a job for ex-Marines (if so, it looks like they are totally failing also)? Therefore I am going to have call BS on the idea that Americans and Aussies are toughguys here. Badmouth European men all you want, but you're all heading for the same fate eventually. Don't fool yourselves about that.

The socialism (and humanism, i.e. Communist belief that man can control nature and violate Adam Smith's Invisible Hand) in Europe is pervasive and nearly 100% ubiquitous, e.g. European citizens have no guns!

Whereas, in the rural areas of (and Bible Belt of the USA for example) there is still some significant percentage who hate socialism. trollercoaster claims a similar effect in rural areas of Australia.

The Bundy incidents have shown that the ex-marines and militias will stand up for women and other rights. They even put the women and children at the front with the men on horses with guns behind then and the Feds backed down.

Too many Americans have bought into socialism for the minority of the population to take control politically. Instead they await the fight locally with their guns locked and loaded.

Gold will be driven underground. If you have too much gold jewelry on, they will pull you over and weight it at the airport. So, this guy would be in trouble.

In all cases where a currency has been cancelled or the confidence in government collapses to any extent, from Russia to a Zimbabwe event, the people use the currency of a neighboring country. The best thing for Europeans to do right now is to hoard U.S. dollars in cash — not euros, and not even Swiss francs. The Swiss will surrender to the demands of the EU, so I would not count on those 1,000 Swiss franc notes remaining valid for long either. The USA would find it extremely difficult to move to electronic currency. The USD remains the legal tender since 1792. It has never been cancelled and it might even spark a breakup of the USA with the Bible Belt whom is moving to secede.

The future course of the United States will follow the same pattern. Pre-Revolution, you had separate states. That became the UNITED states in 1789. We will see a breakup of the states most likely banding together in regions because of the difference in cultural views such as the Bible Belt. The fight over Obamacare illustrates the stark differences and this is fundamentally wrong for it is forcing one groups interests upon another. There is no such thing as equal rights but money is the exception. We are all treated the same even in law (no exception for politicians and bankers) or we are not a nation of equal rights. You can’t be just a little be pregnant! The US will break up, but it should not go into a MADMAX event as long as we reach resistance from the people. If the people keep just watching their sports and never notice what the governments are doing to their future until it is too late, then it can go too far and that in the MADMAX event the ended the Roman Empire.

As for the break-up of the USA, the computer has been warning for decades now that the 2016 election will see a sharp rise in third-party activity. The Republican Party may split again. We see the internal civil war with the Tea Party people. This is the core of the break-up for what lies behind that is culture and religion. Once the economy turns down, this will accelerate.

It appears that Hillary will be the Democratic candidate and that will merely solidify the Republic split. By 2032, the other side of this 51.6 year wave looks to be a starkly different world. The USA will split and China will become the Financial Capital of the World.

Do you know what happened on 2013.308? That was when Edward Snowden made his final move (no turning back any more) to release documents about the NSA. Yet people claim Martin Armstrong's cycles don't predict anything.  

There are two types of waves on the 224 Year Cycle – the Collapsing Wave and the Protracted Wave. It appears that the USA is in the Collapsing Wave formation meaning that the 224 year runs from the birth to the peak with the total duration running minimum 296 years with the optimum being 309.6 years meaning the society splits and does not remain intact. A Protracted Wave is a society view where the wave is measured peak to peak totaling 224 years. The second Protracted Wave formation is where governments come and go, but society survives and reforms remaining intact. In the Collapsing Wave structure where it is 224 year from birth to peak, the overall duration appears to be is 296-309 years. for the conclusion whereby society breaks apart and fragmentation emerges..In the case of Rome, 309 years from the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44BC is 265AD where Rome broke apart and the Gallic Empire emerged under Postumus (259-268AD).

This Collapsing Wave structure that the United States appears to be in means it is a one-time-wonder and that the United States will break-up and the there will be no more “united” union. This is becoming self-evidence in the polarization of politics with tremendous differences in culture on a regional basis. The Obamacare is just one aspect revealing the undercurrent whereby one segment of society believes it has a right to force their views upon another group.

So unfortunately, the USA does not appear to be destined to remain intact otherwise we would have seen and overall structured wave of 224 years. We seem to be in the Collapsing Wave with the 224 years was from birth to peak with an overall duration of 309.6 years at best. This appears to be like the Collapsing Wave in Imperial Rome itself whereas from the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44BC to the peak in the glory of Rome and population in the city took place under Marcus Aurelius that was 224 years later in 180AD. The decline that followed brought total chaos, sovereign debt crisis, massive government seizure of capital, fragmentation of the Empire, and in the end, Rome was no longer the Capitol and that became Constantinople followed by the split of East and West. We are much more akin to the this type of Collapsing Wave formation whereby society collapses and breaks apart. Now we have the Cycle of War turning in 2014 that appears to be focused within civil unrest at least initially.

I disagree Corazon, the the rise of islam and the middle east is the main focus of the war cycle.

Guess where islam is rising..

We're literally watching it expand into Western Europe with the assistance of the state with very little opposition.

Islam is not gaining any momentum over here, the opposite actually because the average person can see the disaster in Europe.

We have different problems here due to isolation.

Totalitarianism, possibly regional proxy wars (we can't be invaded by foot by impoverished muslims) and civil unrest, maybe the odd allahu akbar..

Youtube will serve up some videos for you of average males in the USA kicking ass on some erring criminals, even when they are the police.

Obviously there are pussies every where, but please don't assume there aren't some tough motherfuckers in the USA.

I have no doubt there are some badass Eastern Europeans and note they are the ones who are not allowing the invasion. The Serbs, etc have put up barricades of razor wire blocking the migrants.

The main point is Western Europeans gave up their right to bear arms. And so now they can be run over by Putin or ISIS like a hot knife through warm butter. It seems the invasion has already been seeded and will erupt internally.

eh, americans just kill each other everyday, anyway.

That is not true in white, middle class regions where the murder rate is on par with Western Europe.

It is the negros/latinos in the inner cities who have a very high murder rate. They also have the largest average penis sizes too (yes South America has roughly the same penis sizes as Africa...probably because of negro mix). Lots of male testosterone but lower IQs. These are statistical facts, not racism.
