And how did ATH in his feeder funds work out for Bernie Madoffield?



 

I can't believe Dash doesn't pay for bug bounties, but has plenty of cash for questionable priorities like soda machines and high-price marketing flunkies.

It's not a good sign when the Dash community prefers a false sense of security and privacy theater to actually vetting their code with outside expert review.

Bitcoin being panic bought. Huobi can't get to 3000 CNY fast enough.

I think I understand now why the Chinese are buying Doge and not Dash. I looked up the translation of these words in a Chinese-English dictionary and this is what I found:

Dash: Sudden, strenuous running. (He made a dash to get away from the tiger but suffered a heart attack anyway).
Dog: Tasty treat.

interesting read...... not surprised it finally happened when so many people said it wasn't real.

Hash rate went up, price has effectively gone down given the emissions and sideways price.

DASH was billed as ASIC resistant. So that has to be taken into consideration.

"resistant" means that somebody would have to invest a lot of time and trouble to pull it off.  In this case, somebody cared enough to do it.

I completely respect your view and I believe your intentions are well intended.

I look at the evidence that ASICS provide security under the right circumstances, but they also result in centralised monopolistic behaviour.

One CPU one vote is difficult to achieve, but I'd rather stay closer to that than specialist mining equipment.  X11 has the advantage of being able to switch around the algo order to make ASCIS a risk to build without impacting GPU miners.

If anyone tries to build secret ASICs to attack the network X11 can be used to stop them in their tracks.  MNs add an additional level of network security.

I'm not convinced ASICs are a net good thing yet.

@oaxaca made this point on Slack. If you are a Dash investor, would you like to know that the network is secured by this:


or this:



So there's that...

Nice try.

But the reality is that warehouses of miners are located in the remote hills in China next to hydro plants.  They are behind the great firewall of China.  If you want to visit China to beg one or two miners to support a hard fork then keep kidding yourself that investors give a shit about anything other than a shiny GUI.

Yes.

The centralised mining cartel have given their blessing to make some changes. 

Millions of users, but ASICs put control into the hands of a small group.  If the Chinese government cared enough, it would be pulling the strings of those people.
