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.

Cross-posted in the other thread.

So by July sentinel, turing complete scripting and the primitives are done? Oh boy

I'm awaiting the conversion from code to hopefully easy to follow english on the 24th of April with great interest.
Looks like the end-goal is making all the masternodes through python language the brain over our network (Sentinel) and turning the miners more into workers with less influence.
It also looks like i will need to setup a masternode.conf for 12.1 after all.

Dash Sentinel

A toolset for Dash

Installation

Make sure dashd is running at least v12.1, with a correctly configured masternode.conf. The masternode names in masternode.conf should match the masternodes listed config.py's "masternodes"

My next question would be what is your favorate DGBB voting tool? I have tried it in the core wallet, and its fairly tedious. I hear good things about dashwhale.

I don't use it but it's a great service, never heard a complaint about them. Kind of hoping they put in another budget proposal sometime, their first failed not long after they started but they've proven themselves a service to the community at this stage.

It was a shame that it was voted down. If we masternode operators are supposed to be able to say yay nor nay, making the voting process easier will guarantee more votes, instead of having to put together the hash vote yay for every single item.

I also think voting could be increased if it would be more comfortable. I was thinking about writing a script for this purpose - but did not start yet and i am not sure if it will be good on the console (without a gui)

Nice thing is that we do not need the hot-wallet for voting, can vote directly on the running masternode.

Question about dash-whale: People have to send them their private key? Or how does it work?

Its the privkey of your masternode, not of your Dash wallet and will therefore not contain any coins.

https://dashtalk.org/threads/taos-masternode-setup-guide-for-dummies.2680/


masternode genkey : creates your masternode privkey
getaccountaddress 0 : creates your masternode pubkey

Dashwhale will encrypt your masternode privkey for use on their website so you can vote with it there.

Qwizzie, I can still read the numbers you go there (and could use sharpen to make them even easier)  If that screenshot is important, please change it.  If you ever post something sensitive, you can just block it out with black, eh?

Wow, I don't understand anything here, LOL, but I can't wait to hear the RoundTable on Sunday!  I'll have this printed out next to me to take notes!!

I kind of find it exciting the Bitcoin is becoming so stable.  It kind of means that crypto currencies are becoming more stable as a whole, or at least that it's possible for them to stabilize.  If this becomes the norm, more merchants may find it less frightening to deal in crypto, as well as possibly even keep their funds in crypto??? I'm sure that's years off still, but yah, would be cool!

Hmmm, new money needs to come in & all the money waiting on the sidelines needs to decide if it's interested, flat-lining with the odd twitch isn't too healthy IMO, still I'm betting on a rise for it eventually, merchants mostly use Bitpay or whatever atm that cashes them straight out to fiat.

Evolution beta planned for august 2018? Sounds like light years in crypto. Hope that will change.

August 2018?  That's an incalculable delay in Bitcoin Time.  Might as well be August 3018.

Dash needs CLTV/CSV, RBF, segwit, Confidential Transactions, sidechains, and Lightning-type payment channels long before then, or it will be obsolete when (halfway through Trump's first term) Evolution is ready.

Bitcoin is about to start scaling very fast, very soon, according to https://coin.dance/blocks/bip9#proposal.

How does Dash intend to match BTC Core's industry-leading progress while also building the "definitely not yet another smart contract platform" Evolution thingy?

Evolution beta planned for august 2018? Sounds like light years in crypto. Hope that will change.

having a long term plan with multiple releases sounds like a great plan,  yes it sounds far away but it now feels like 2014 was just yesterday.    If Dash continues to mature along with the market and we end up with Evolution by the end of 2018, we will be in an amazing spot.    I feel comfort in knowing that the budget system and payments to the dev team are in place to facilitate all this work.

good times!

DASH video-bank

Hi Ambassadors and other Dash activists!

It isn’t easy for me to help you with texts (language barrier) - so I decide to help you with videos (in addition to my Dash Photo-bank)!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_g4JqfANEpNDPcGoT4QRFi4EfaFtoRUg

There are video elements such as video-introduction, video-logos, flags, ... (and more are coming) those you can use to produce your own videos about Dash!!!

I hope that you won’t just look at them "for fun", but will also actively use them in your activity - to create your own DASH video blogs, presentations, tutorials, promo-videos and so on…

If you need different formats, or place some Slogans on them or "Green Screen" chroma-key and other editing - send me a message. If you need any specific additional video elements to promote DASH - please let me know.

Let’s promote DASH together!

12.1 (July 2016)

    a project that takes commands like "masternode create 'name123'", "group create name blah" (sentinel)
    a core update that uses generic governance objects (12.1-core-gov)
    a decoupling layer between sentinel and dash-core (mysql database relational layout / crontabs / classes / objects)
    a trigger system which allows sentinel sybil-proof secure control over the entire network (governance-misc.h)
    a trigger system which can send payments, ban blocks, ban users, update settings
    a scriptable, easy to understand turing complete python implementation for controling the network (brain.py)
    various signaling methods between masternode network and governance objects (fund, end, valid, failure, endorsed, outerstorage)
    support for users, groups, companies, contracts, proposals, projects, project-milestones and project-reports (classes.py)

Doesn't this imply that the basic deterministic wallet and payment by name will be implemented by July?
