[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[arielbit]

And btw there is no "first taker of X letters ticker has exclusive rights forever" rule in crypto imo.

There is no exclusive rights forever rule for anything anywhere, but there are issues with trademark law, which does recognize that the first and continuous user of a distinctive mark (whether registered or not) has enforceable rights. Now btc-e is basically a rogue exchange that operates on the gray web and does whatever the hell it wants, so I expect nothing different.

But if another exchange -- say one that is going out of its way to try to be legally-compliant -- wants to pick up Dash, they will probably want to avoid behaving in a similarly rogue manner.

lol, we own the trademarks. weak FUD smooth.
plus we own the original dashcoin git.


Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash:
"Months ago the community organically came up with the name “Dash” as a possible rebranding idea of Darkcoin, I took notice of this and the good deal of support it had in the forums. This lead to us researching the Dash brand for a few months. In the process of doing some investigation, we found that there was another company in the financial space that was filing a trademark. This resulted in me buying another coin “Dashcoin” and challenging their trademark application."
"we were in control of the Dashcoin project. Acquiring Dashcoin is no different than getting a previously existing domain name, the acquired project itself will not continue only the DRK project will move forward under a new name."

Bitcoin won't die if you bought it's github...same with dashcoin "if you have the slightest idea how a crypto currency works"

the only thing you own is your shit

We almost simultaneously posted this on Twitter, my friend... Great article! Thanks for posting it on the Dash Nation thread as well. Love that the marketing Dash are being well spent on professional articles.

@ceti: It's very amusing. At least they've finally gotten the message to not bump that thread for us anymore... It's better if we do it.

Instamine not mentioned?

Radical emission cut also omitted?

You know lying by omission is still lying, right?

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lying_by_omission

“You told the truth up to a point, but a lie of omission is still a lie.”
—Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (cautioning Starfleet Cadet Wesley Crusher)

Lying by omission, otherwise known as exclusionary detailing, is lying by either omitting certain facts or by failing to correct a misconception.

Selective reporting in the media

Media outlets are under pressure to make money, and an easy way to do this is by breaking sensational stories. This can encourage the media to overplay news stories or leave out information that would detract from an otherwise great story.

There goes Bitcoinist's journalistic integrity and reputation, if they ever had any.

Keep up the good fight, bud. It's not your fault you have to recycle the same material over and over. I admire your persistence. You should really consider switching sides, you'd have so many more avenues for your creativity here. Peace, man!

Don't you thinks it's a bit odd to write an article purporting to be about "The Origin of Dash" but "accidentally" forget to mention the "accidental" instamine and subsequent/compounding radical emission cut?

I am not here often but thought I might cross-post Dash World update posted on the Dash Talk anyway:

Unless we provide our audiences with substantial, valuable content that has a clear message we’d be wasting time and money. hobbskevin director at Vanbex put it succinctly: “just putting out press with no substance or goal will do Dash no good,” so our approach is to create valuable, “shareable” content that gains traction over time.

For that purpose ericsammons has written a wonderful first article "Dash, the anonymous evolution of Bitcoin," with support and quote(s) from Evan Duffield. (here: http://bravenewcoin.com/news/dash-the-anonymous-evolution-of-bitcoin/)

They are working on the 2nd article and the separate work on Masternode piece is underway. (see this thread) After we publish these we want to move into educational pieces and than more investment pieces and so on.

We understand the community’s concerns best visible in a private message I received: “we need press, period, if we have none, nothing gets out, so better "bad" (or whatever you wanna call it) than none.” Just to spam the airwaves with crap will only make Dash look like a scam. This is about quality and getting the information out to the right audience.

I hate beating on the dead horse but I think the Masternode owners and the community need to understand this approach better. For the best example of “press with no substance or goal” we do not have to look further than to the "Dash Media Coverage Report - Jan 2016," where the column "H" titled "ApproximateAd Equivalency" states the said "equivalency" being valued at $97,857.98 which would’ve been a wonderful news if it were true:

-- CPM or Ad Rate was set at $16.00 per a thousand views and therefore had:
-- $16,000.00 as “Ad Equivalency” for one particular article (line #11, CoinTelegraph);
-- the article in question @ http://cointelegraph.com/news/dash-...to-bitcoin-offered-by-the-lamassu-atm-project tells us the article had 474 views;
-- 474 views x $16.00 CPM : 1,000 = $7.58 as REAL VALUE of the ad equivalent. The report exaggerated the estimated value of their work for $15,992.42 or 1,212.80% - one thousand and two hundred times. And than some more.

We had, out of ALL articles listed in that report, 377 hits to the official Dash website. The article I quoted above brought 94 visits. That's the real value of the total “approximate ad equivalency” sold to us.

Such meaningless publishing for the sake of publishing is not a route Dash World wants to take.

Have fun with that Ghostie  Funny ted indeed!

OK ATTENTION ALL MN OWNERS!

we have maybe 2 days to finish voting for this month's budget and it disturbs me that the liquidity provider proposal has not gotten enough votes to pass.  The price has been lowered 65% and although the Liquidity Providers have been running their wallets since October of last year, they've only been paid 3 times.  Why is this important?  Because without liquidity providers, Dark send doesn't work fast enough or well enough to be reliable due to low demand.  Yet some people are relying on the ability to use DarkSend.

So please, go vote to pay the Liquidity Providers a a pittance for running a server and exposing their wallets for the good of Dash.  Thank you very much.

https://www.dashwhale.org/p/ds-liquidity-v2

And if you got a heart, please pay the back pay owed these same liquidity providers.  This month, there is plenty of budget for it, and it would be a nice gesture.  Again, thank you.

https://www.dashwhale.org/p/LP-reimbursment

The last two days of voting are not real days, as the budget goes through before that.  There is only about 2 days left to vote, so please do!

Wow - ok some serious Masternode increases have been going on lately....new ATH again!

Total Masternodes: 3788

I can feel another price rise happening soon......when will we break the $10 barrier

Better get strapped in for the fallout now that the myth is gone if all the signing & sh*t turns out to be verified.

2000k volume dump on finnex already in 15 minutes. Maybe it'll go down and then back up since one of the "media FUD" items was always that the creator was anonymous. Coin toss - up or down. Better check the trollboxes.

Hedges in place.
