You know about Songkran then, ''Sawad Dee Songkran Bee ne, krup.' 
Its the only country in the world where you can shoot a policeman in the face with a high powered pump action water gun and he'll just laugh.
(Can you imagine what would happen doing that in America!)

Chok Dee:)

Have a little patience, perhaps most people that can help you aren´t in the same time zone and are sleeping at this moment.

Smooth and his cronies have basically backed us into a corner here for two years

rofwl !

Speak for yourself. They never backed me into a corner. (Nor, apparently Evan). I just invest in what I calculate has a future.

I can't even begin to fathom how many people we may have lost out on during the first two years because of this. People with families, friends, skills to give.

I think what you're missing is the fact that a monetary medium is not a popularity contest. It either works or doesn't.

You're battling battling flies who's argument is already dead and buried and yet dismiss genuine monetary researchers who are trying to open up a secondary monetary tier for Dash.

That just baffles me.

I was a bit sceptical at first too Tok but in hindsight I've got in touch with a few folks I've got to know over the years on this forum about Dash and practically all of them have been swung by the trolling to some degree. These are smart people that wouldn't be easily swayed by empty talk but the trolls have had an effect none the less and that's just a very small cross section, there could be tens of thousands influenced by their BS at this stage and even discussion in this thread has been seriously affected by them.

Take the post above by r4vani for example, this thread is long and rambling so that post would probably get a new thread where it could be discussed in any depth and refereed to for similar questions in the future. Instead we're in a spot where any thread like that would be up to 5 pages of "instamine" spam and disruption of the topic before it can even get going and Dash has had years of that BS, so much so that a large part of the community doesn't follow discussions on this forum any more.

I've seen at least 10 posters take a new interest since Tao started on his campaign and that could already equate to a thousand or more taking a silent interest. The only message Dash needs to get across is "there's some genuine innovation going on here, take a look and see what you think", only a very simple message but the trolls have been very successful at silencing it and that has to stop.

Ok. Can't argue with "field data".

I apologise to Tao if I came across as undermining his efforts which are always made in good faith. It's just that I've never personally felt their attacks very substantive and am keen to develop 'real' economic use-cases for Dash. (As opposed to speculative ones).

Cheers - looks interesting. Will have a read.

My opinion (no evidence to support it) is that few people get into Dash because of BCT...but people who are considering an investment and visit BCT as part of due diligence cannot of course help to be influenced by it to some degree.

O/T

Here is a great colour scheme generator.

It's an interesting one and since posting it a few times I'm seeing "moral economy" popping up all over the place but I think that's in response to China's plans for what's being termed as a credit rating system as some reports I've read on it strongly suggest that's the aim.

Sorry if I came across as confrontational anywhere there, that wasn't at all the intention. I had the whole altcoin section disabled here at one stage because it was pure spam, hundreds of threads with more every day and you could spend days trawling through them and find absolutely nothing of interest. It's not quite so bad now but that's still what we're up against, if an alt doesn't get a good impression across in the first few views then it's lost its chance and while Dash has been around long enough to deserve extra attention that first impression is still the most important one.

Something underused imho, the internet causes all sorts of clashes of culture and you only need to take a glance at the discussions to see that happening here, Dash is taking the "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door" route while others are taking the "crush any competing mousetrap" route. I guess that's just common business practice and the kind of thing shareholders see as a good sign but are crypto users shareholders? Personally I've always been disgusted by the relationship but I guess that's the way many see it, imho that's appealing to a very specific demographic and if digital cash targets a specific demographic at the cost of another then it's failed.

Fwiw the trolling doesn't bother me over much, Dash is right at the front in the tech race with no signs of slowing down and it's unlikely more than a small handful have a chance of keeping up with the pace. The foundations and userbase are extremely solid and the longer the trolls keep up their campaign the stronger that userbase will be, it'll grow regardless and imho growing with a small but strong following is better that attracting the masses but v0.12.1 could be a turning point for that view.

Although I accept what you're saying re anecdotal evidence of adverse publicity, I really think the effect of it is over estimated.

The trading charts show exactly the same profile as any other coin over the 2 years. The adoption profile for nodes shows no signal whatsoever that belies any adverse impact - just consistent, unimpeded growth. The various "trolling campaigns" have had at least as much favourable impact as negative because A. they look stupid B. they keep it being one of the most discussed projects and C. the give us a chance to do deep-concept promotion that we wouldn't otherwise have. (Well at least I quite enjoy using troll posts as a launching pad for some rambling commentary or other    ).

Nor does it appear to affect the people that matter. For example the two monetary researchers that wanted to use Dash as a basis for their Flow Money proposal flat out said it was the most advanced (monetarily) of all on offer. Max Keiser cited it as one of the 3 candidates for "the one" to 20 million viewers.

I would relax 

[iCEBREAKER]

I don't think Dash's designers were targeting speculative value

You may want to check the actual history and reevaluate that opinion in light of things like this:

http://www.darkcoin.guide/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/masternode_payment_plan.png

Oh wait, that link is dead.  Now why would Evan want to hide the evidence?

Too bad for Duffield the HYIP salesman this exists:

If ^that^ isn't "targeting speculative value" I don't know what is.

...understandable, given you don't appear to know the difference between "quantified" and "speculative".

...understandable, given you don't appear to know the difference between "quantified" and "speculative".

The chart is clearly (in both the logical and financial senses of the word) speculative, as it illustrates for HYIP marketing purposes potential (IE future) ROI under both 1k and 2k MadoffNode scenarios.

I was of course using "speculative" in the financial sense as your linked definition provides:

2. a. Engaging in, given to, or involving financial speculation

You should by now know questioning my word choice is a great way to embarrass yourself while providing me an additional opportunity to emphasize my point.   

[toknormal]

Speculative Return: "I bought this stock. I hope it goes up in price"

Quantified Return: "I invested in this currency. It will pay a 21% ROI per year"

[toknormal]

i use this one to match colors for websites and other stuff.
Has also some nice color themes ( https://color.adobe.com/de/explore/newest/) allready

Nice. Hadn't seen that Adobe one.

[iCEBREAKER]

Speculative Return: "I bought this stock. I hope it goes up in price"

Quantified Return: "I invested in this currency. It will pay a 21% ROI per year"

The ROI chart lists exact (quantified) values for two extremely specific possible scenarios, 1k and 2k MadoffNodes.

It did not and could not have quantified nor predicted any exact percent yield, because it list two mutually exclusive outcomes.

Better let Boeing know about that problem.
