[DASH] Dash - Building the IoM | Dash Nation Progress Thread

[TaoOfSaatoshi]

What is misinformed in this assessment?

Let me try again. The crux of your argument is that you contend that because of the instamine that only a few people control the voting power, correct?  Well, even if we were to ignore the markets for the last two years distributing the coins, you still haven't come up with any evidence that only a few people partook in the instamine. The problem with your argument is that it starts with a hypothesis, not fact. As I've mentioned before, Masternodes are incentivised full nodes that anyone can run, and my grandmother runs one. You could too if you had the means and were so inclined.

True story: Dash used to have a marketing contract with Transform PR. Evan Duffield was firmly in favor of this DGBB proposal, and it went through. About a month later, some Dash Nation members became disillusioned with the proposal and started lobbying to have it voted down. This resulted in the contract being voted out, despite the objections of the coin's large holders. Evan was forced to personally cancel this contract. This story is verifiable on DashTalk.org.

The system works as designed, and is a marvel of decentralized governance. It is not perfect, though, and will be fine tuned over time.

Also, am I any more repetitive than Tao's copypaste "Satoshi's dream, decentralized, we're controlling the narrative" get the noobs to these links hurry before they learn how craptacular we are speeches disguised as pleasant cheerleading?

Show me two repetitive posts I made. My challenge is to set the record straight after two years of spin and innuendo, and you can't do that with a single post. This thread is a marathon, not a sprint, and the facts prevail in time.

Dash-CORE roadmap - version 1

https://github.com/evan82/dash-roadmap/blob/master/README.md

This is my first draft of the finalized timeline for evolution. I believe I can commit to this and it should be pretty easy to accomplish based off of my recent discoveries. If you're a programmer, you should be able to understand it. I'll explain this (timeline and discoveries) in much greater detail on The DashRoundtable on Sunday, April 24th.

As for the code, it's a real rough specification of all of the various pieces of technology required to build out dash. It's goal is to decouple the core code, in the form of a generic governance object, then secure our network using a completely dynamic python implementation (sentinel) via masternode network voting. The concept is pretty simple actually, it should allow us near infinite flexibility.

I hope you're sitting somewhere

I've got to be honest, that man never ceases to amaze me. I am rapt with anticipation for that Dash Roundtable episode.

[TaoOfSaatoshi]

Good evening folks.

Well, today was another day of progress. Toknormal demonstrated his three tenets of unbacked electronic cash on page 22, and showed how Dash is strong with each one. Then, Evan Duffield, as he so often does, just came out of the blue to announce his latest plans:

https://github.com/evan82/dash-roadmap/blob/master/README.md

The paper is too complicated for me, so I will wait until he dumbs it down a bit on the Dash Roundtable show on Sunday.

This is what it's like for Dash. Never a dull moment. Discoveries, innovations, announcements, reports, and constant attention from detractors.

Would you like to be a part of a dynamic environment such as this? Do you want to be on a team that's solely focused on creating the digital cash that Satoshi envisioned, the Internet of Money?

If you answered yes, we'd love to hear from you. Thanks again for your patience.

BUMP

This is all wrong.

You can't build out Layer 2 and crank up the marketing until Layer 1 is solid.

Dash needs to follow Bitcoin's lead and enable scaling by adopting critical new features like segwit, Lightning, and sidechains.

As it is now, Dash has no hope of competing with Lightning type payment channels.  All the "fiat gateways" in the world won't help Dash if it has no unique, innovative, and useful technology under the hood.

Dash gets a shade more obsolete with each BIP9 block mined.

Do you see this?

https://coin.dance/blocks/bip9

That's doom coming for shitcoins like Dash, which tried to profit from Classic's attempted governance coup and kissed up to the Gavinistas on bitco.in.

What is misinformed in this assessment

Conflations of concepts like interest with taxation, coin holders with promisary notes, trusted parties with good governance, centralisation with protocol articulation, fungibility with obfuscation and monetary media media with transport protocols.

Also, am I any more repetitive than Tao's copypaste "Satoshi's dream, decentralized

Yes.

Tired of correcting your semantic juggling in an attempt to hide the fact that dash's power structure is centralized--however you want parse it doesn't really matter as you can't trustlessly prove it and therefore it is BS by cryptosystem standards.

Even more than Darkcoin, Dash takes advantage of low-information, short attention span people who just want to get some of that Bitcoin money.

They have no idea what a trusted 3rd party has to do with bad crypto, and don't want to know.  Don't try to explain layers and scaling to them.  "Orthogonal" has never been a word in their vocabulary, much less conceptual/working knowledge.  They may not have even heard or seen it before.

Satoshi is aloof and mysterious, while Duffield has a friendly gingery smile that appeals to old ladies watching Murder, She Wrote.

He's the Saul Goodman of crypto; a classic snake-oil HYIP peddling confidence man.

Now that the price of Bitcoin is once again rising, we'll see the gullible/greedy Dash types return to the original and best crypto currency.

i agree .. now all we need is a national anthem.

[TaoOfSaatoshi]

Good morning all. I hope you're all enjoying your lives wherever you happen to be.

I see we received yet another visit from the detractors while I was away. I read through their posts filled with buzzwords and misdirection, which are typical ploys by people who would seek to "control" the narrative about a competing coin to serve their interests.

Everything that needs to be said by us on these matters has already been said in this thread, no need to bore you with that.

When you lead by example displaying dedication to progress, optimism and decentralized technology, you will inspire people. Alex-ru and his Dash Nation flag is living proof of that.

That's what Dash Nation is all about. Focus on a common goal, creating the digital cash that Satoshi envisioned, the Internet of Money.

Join us in Dash Nation and help us create a passion around our values.

Cheers,

Tao  (Dash Nation Campaign Founder)

EDIT: I've shared the Dash Nation flag with my followers on Twitter. If you're on Twitter as well you're welcome to join me!

I think I'm going to roll with that profile message for a little while...

Good evening everyone!

Why centralized organizations funding Bitcoin development is a train-wreck:

https://petertodd.org/2016/mit-chainanchor-bribing-miners-to-regulate-bitcoin

Dash will avoid these kind of issues with decentralized governance and funding. That's a big reason why Dash is poised to be the digital cash Satoshi envisioned, the Internet of Money.

All who value progress, optimism and decentralized technology are welcome to join us in Dash Nation.
