One of my buddies just told me he got 2 MN payments in one day

He is on v11

Looks like that v45 is stable so far, the nodes are still active after some couple of hours...
If all will go all right than some more days and as Evan said before we will see the enforcment of the MNs.

yep, a few more days and enforcement will be turned on again. After which MN payments will fall into a routine
(decentralised) schedule again .

I like your new signature btw

Thnx it was quite old one (my heart was always in DASH), I didn`t use this account much in the past but I have to do it till my main one will be unlocked.

Interesting context:

"Snowden suggested a similar concept of Tor, where bitcoin transactions are “tumbled” and changed once it is sent, like DASH’s Darksend. Darksend mixes a pool of transactions and its addresses randomly, making the transactions completely anonymous and untraceable.

The anonymity of DASH allows users to have multiple “persona” – “a common persona, an anonymous persona, a shared persona” to send transactions that cannot be tracked by the NSA or any government agencies."

Give it 24-48hrs so they can update the article to include Monero.

Nice finding coins101
Very nice, they finally see what DASH offers...
The last comment of yours is quite nasty ;P - but very probable hehe

Edward Snowden on Bitcoin: “Bitcoin By Itself is Flawed”

good find !

We need to know Snowden is aware of Dash, I'd like to see a direct quote of his mentioning it.  He could be anonymously receiving donations and spending untraceable digital cash.

Does anyone know how one would be able to contact him?  Money has GOT to be an issue with him.

I truly respect Snowden for his actions and to me he is a hero to the entire western civilization but what expertise does he actually bring to the table regarding cryptocurrency?
He was a Sys-Admin and a college dropout with no degree in computer science, the subject he studied. And what he says about 51% attacks is beating the rattling bones of a dead and rotten horse. With the current size of Bitcoin, 51% attacks against it are either unfeasible or self-defeating in purpose. The connection to Dash is artificially created by the author and with the recent discoveries on who's probably behind cointelegraph I feel a slight unease with them pushing Dash in every other article.

maybe he read some papers like this one : https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/06/19/mining/

btw... i have an idea, can we split mining block like this, that regular miner can only mine odd number block, while MN mined the even numbered block, this way we still have 50-50 award split, and keep blockchain safe from 51% or even 100% attack.

or

if we introduce POS reward, but same as above that POS/POW will taking turn mining each block. but surely we need to calculate reward so it will be reasonably fair to everyone.

thanks

I agree and do not trust the author, however my desire to get Mr. S some DASH is still there.  Get him to endorse it and DASH could get a boost.

RE: the Snowden article, it got me thinking.  I know ip obfuscation is supposed to be coming, but I always thought it would be for the masternodes themselves.  Maybe IP obfuscation could be done for every user?  Like automatic TOR only not TOR but our Masternodes doing it? 

Or is this the idea already?

[splawik21]

Thnx to the admin of the bct forum for getting my account unlocked

[GilAlexander]

One of my buddies just told me he got 2 MN payments in one day

He is on v11

3,2 and 2,5 DASH

Two payments within 5 hours - 4,17 and 4,64. Remembered me about old times without enforcement. One day I got 5 payments in a row.

Whoever is editing the title, ASIC Resistant is a pretty big selling point IM

[Minotaur26]

V12.0.45 is working great for me, really impressive work, all the new tools, wallet repair, backups,  syncing budgets, sporks, everything is super slick. It feels like a huge step forward, looking forward to what we can do with the budget system.  

[Jestah]

Trying to withdraw 380 ish DASH from Cryptsy.

Each time I pick the entire balance, first they sent 91, then 68, then 103, then 51 and then the last 50.   That's 5x .004 DASH withdrawl fee.  What the fook is going on?

********* Bitcoin - "Forks at Dawn" ***********

Sorry if this has already been cited in the thread. I just stumbled across it and thought it was major stuff.

https://medium.com/@octskyward/why-is-bitcoin-forking-d647312d22c1

The Bitcoin core developer group have reached deadlock on the blocksize debate and it looks like it's going nuclear - i.e. a showdown between 2 forks. Might be the most exciting and significant event to have happened since MT Gox or the big "China Rise" - even more so possibly.

I must say, even though I read a lot of posts from people saying they don't like Mike Hearn, every time I read his arguments they make far more sense to me than than the anti-revision lobby (those who want the blocksize left alone).

To me, it's a debate between those who see bitcoin as a permanent, independent, peer-to-peer monetary medium and those who who want to revert to a fiat-like hierarchical financial model with centralised clearing systems.

I'm also sympathetic to letting the forking mechanism decide because that is the fundamental resolver of consensus for this technology. It's going to be tested sooner or later so it might as well be sooner. It'll just be another milestone in the long, slow cryptocurrency rights-of-passage stage.

Who is going to win ?

I sincerely hope the monetarists win over the technologists. There was an interesting exchange on Reddit on this a couple of weeks ago.

Greg's Reply

My comment on Greg's reply  (I urge folks to listen to that Adam Back interview that I cited in there - it really goes to the core of the anti alt-coin agenda.

P.S. This is a good explanation of the practical implications:

Running XT at this time is equivalent with running Core. It's the same network, and the same Bitcoins. At some point in the future, if 75% mining majority is reached (but not before January 2016), the network will split whenever a miner creates a block larger than 1MB. This will not be accepted by Core unless they adopt a large blocks patch, but will be accepted by XT, and at this point there will effectively be two chains.

Running XT means that you will always be on the largest (75%+) chain, regardless of whether the fork actually happens or not. Running Core means that you will be left behind if a 75% majority is reached. Regardless of which version you run, coins will be safe (on both chains) as long as you acquired them prior to the fork, and for some time the chains will largely mirror each other.

Interesting anti-XT view: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1154131.msg12155904#msg12155904

fix GetSporkValue return
fix spork int error
Fix dseg message

https://www.dashpay.io/downloads/

Still says:

./dash-cli getinfo
{
    "version" : 120044,
    "protocolversion" : 70103,

yep, we are discussing it at dashtalk too .. both windows versions (32bit and 64bit) have correct download version description 0.12.0.45 and winrar version 0.12.0.45 files but turn out to be v0.12.0.44-61223ed
Linux versions also turn out to be v0.12.0.44, as does OSX

Best to hold off with the downloads (any downloads) untill further announcements.

FWIW, 61223ed is a commit from yesterday:
https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/61223ed1476f9c67b8171ed41ee7106ac2013d21

Definitely from before the commit marked v0.12.0.45

It's really strange, bamboo says it compiled v45 correctly, but the file inside does say 12.0.44. Hold off while we figure out what's going on with bamboo

Any update on this? Are we still holding off on updating?
