EDIT: so DASH are threatening people children, WTF!!!!!

What are you on about?  One of hundreds of community members of DASH, one was rude on another thread and suddenly we're all horrible?  If you could only look back at all the trolling we've had to put up with, and still have to put up with, you would see that most of us have been more than patient, mature and even kind.  We've even had other coin developers themselves come here to troll.   Most of us ignore the trolls, try to be polite and are hear because we love the idea of Crypto succeeding.  The DASH developers are the most up and up in the crypto coin space.  I can't help what other people do, but I suspect our friend lost it for some reason I don't understand.  He's a great guy, but sometimes he sees things differently and can become rabidly protective of DASH.  Usually, when someone has a chance to give him another perspective, he comes around.  We're all communities of people from all walks of life and all dispositions.  Forums are easy targets to let off steam, which is unfortunate, because when you do, it can bite you in the ass.

As far as threatening you and your children, I didn't see that anywhere.  Where did that come from?

Edit:  Oh, arielbit is a troll who is on my ignore list.  So is Adam White.

Edit2:  Kyle was a good friend of Evan's and helped him start Darkcoin.  Unfortunately, he was a loose canon.  I actually hope they're still friends, but that's none of our business.  The comment from Light was NOT a threat, but rather an admonishment that a person with a family should act more maturely.  Adam white is quoting out of context and just stirring up issues that happened a year ago (an incident where Kyle was a bit obnoxious on the official twitter account).  That is part of our ancient history again.  Give me a break....!

Tante, thanks for trying. Sure, all such info is easily found,  but I guess these guys are not the least interested in knowing facts: they just want to troll and disturb... a shame.

[aigeezer]

Reminder, gentle people, to check post history when something smells odd - especially odd newbie stuff.

It seems to have been a fairly effective thread hijack. I missed most of it thanks to the ignore button, but then some quotes snuck in and I had to peek.

Winding down now, I hope.

Well, on a cool note, I learned about NFC from the German thread on dashtalk.org    That's really cool and of course I didn't know about it.  I remember when someone like Samsung was advertising that all you had to do was touch another phone, and you could transfer pictures, etc... I never looked into it, but that's cool stuff.  I found a cute kid (there I go again, young man) who explained it really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp5il7yhM4Y

Anyway, Aldi (who I just heard on the news radio today, is opening new stores in California !!!  Yaaay!  (they own Trader Joes which we've had since I was a kid)  Anyways, Aldi is installing NFC enabled readers, according to the thread, and this could really start the non-credit card, pay with your phone revolution!  So that's pretty interesting.  Crowning said that the terminals aren't really equipped to handle extra encoding (for bitcoin or DASH) but I was wondering if a raspberry pi add-on could be created that could be a back end for these H5000 terminals.  Somebody could put them together as a kit for stores to add to their terminals for very little $$$.   Anyway, it would require someone with the know how to do, and I'm not that someone, LOL.

Um, disclaimer... I'm still on a regular flip phone with no instant messaging (still can't see the need, so stupid!)  LOL  Though I would LOVE an android phone, but we can't pay for the extra charges until we get a lot more financially solvent, LOL

very unprofessional behaviour for an exchange to unlist a coin for those specific reasons.
this does indeed reward you with a click of my ignore button as you been obviously compromised
by trolls into acting like this.

I can see why your exchange is so small, a small mindset brings small attention to your site. It's a good
thing so little Dash is traded on your exchange or we would have had to actively ask our members to avoid your
exchange for unprofessional behaviour .. no reason for that now.

Poor trolls, they actually think their posting in here will have some influence on the market or on this community.
Newsflash to you trolls out there : it's not working now, it was not working in the past and i'm pretty sure it won't work
in the future. All you guys really achieve with spreading fud in here or out there is more and more  people pressing the ignore button.
Oh well, a paid troll gotta troll to keep getting paid .. I understand.

[TanteStefana2]

So, I admit, I am not watching any news anymore, LOL.  I try to remember to look at what's up online, but I tend to go toward the science and technology sections, so I wasn't aware until this afternoon when I heard it on the radio, that the Feds were hacked and all Federal employees, past and present, have had their IDs, SS#s and personal information stolen.  This information wasn't even encrypted.  And they want to protect US with regulation?  Really?  And there is a possibility that all USA citizen's information was taken, not just the 2-4 million Federal employees.

And think about that.

2-4 million Federal employees.

That's just the FED.  That doesn't include state and city employees, etc...  I wonder what percentage of Americans work for the government in one form or another?  I was a city employee myself. 

Ah, internet to the rescue.  It's currently about 7% of ALL Americans that work for the government.  Don't you feel safe?  It's been as high as 7.5%.  And they can't even keep our information safe.  Really?

I know I'm late here, but I just heard this one.... and now I have to wonder if the Chinese know all about me and my family.  Not that I'd be of interest to them, but still, what an invasion of privacy!

Let's talk Blockchain Proposal Thoughts. Here are mine.

https://dashdot.io/alpha/?p=185

I'm just gonna go ahead and quote this and respond like so.

And yup there we go. There it is. Just in case you didn't catch it the first time.

*edit
I figured I should comment on the article content because coingun makes a great point. I agree that it would be a good idea to aim the focus on getting wider acceptance from the cryptography/developer community.  I don't want to spoil the article by giving away his ideas but I must agree with the train of thought.

Problem is that I don't think we will EVER get the Bitcoin Core developers to give us the time of day.  I believe some of them were asked to do a review like Kristov did, but declined. 

And we have been attacked.  Many times now.  Each time, black hat or white, we fixed the issue.  Many security issues are simply solved because we use Bitcoin Core as our foundation, so it's not like we have to start from the beginning.  The question becomes, did any of DASH development create a security hole?  There have been some ways to trick the system, but they were dealt with.  There have been wallets stolen, but not due to inherent issues with DASH but with users being insecure.  I take chances myself whenever I had to restart my hot masternode.  It was always nerve wracking to me.  There is no way to be 100% secure, unless you burn all the information.  Then nobody will be able to access your coins, not even you, LOL.

i gotta say we are bouncing back from those last few dumps very very nicely and are also moving up ranks again
in the coinmarketcap (rank 6) : http://coinmarketcap.com/

They give us the time of alright, they just don't like to refer to Dash directly for fear of their appraisals being seen as potentially inflammatory.

Some of them belong to a school of thought (a flawed one IMO) that altcoins "detract" from bitcoin's network effect. Other vocabulary sich as "dilute" is often used. In fact, the reality is that cryptocurrency is not a natural monopoly as Andreas Antonopolis has often pointed out in his talks. Far from "diluting its network effect", the alt coin sphere, IMO, has massively contributed to the bitcoin ecosystem and enhanced it's reach like the slopes of a high mountain. For that matter you could reasonably measure bitcoin's marketcap as the sum of its own plus that of all altcoins, since they are all priced in bitcoin, it being the accepted reserve of the entire cryptocurrency economy.

See: 6:15
https://www.blockstream.com/developers/

7:01..."If you start up new cryptocurrencies all the time, all your doing is fragmenting the network effect". (No - you're enhancing the network effect. Consolidation comes with the maturation of this process, not from creating technically engineered monopolies   <-- (I like GM's presentations very much and he's got some fantastic insights but there are also quite a few big assumptions mixed in there IMO)

b.t.w. in this presentation, we're known as "the compatible group"   ....at least in technical approach although I think in this case he's more specifically referring to anonymity solutions on the Bitcoin network like 3rd party mixing services etc.

What is "dire" about the "situation"?  The countries, the corporations and Donald Trump have gone bankrupt and resurrected many times in history. Some panic on financial markets would be overblown in the media to make a story out of it and further scare the population that has zero investments anyway and that's it.

European Union (it's fiscal side) was ridiculous to begin with and it will fall apart for it's beyond unnatural to put countries like Greece or Romania into the same fiscal union with Germany. It was a nice experiment that robbed the people in more fucked up countries blind and made the Overlords and their cronies richer than ever. All this prolonged Greek hysteria is like any other prolonged hysteria, be it endless wars, Super Bowl or fill in the blanks and serves only one purpose: that of distraction and fear.

A debt that can't be paid back will not be paid back. Greek will default as it should have years ago, today or in another decade, as well as Italy, Portugal etc., until the domino effect reaches America and it defaults in its own way. (through a new war, creating more fiat out of nothing, or whatever thieving trick de jour they'll conceive at the appropriate moment)

And if "they" oppress us even more than now - using EURO demise and it consequences as an excuse -- well, "they" are already oppressing and robbing us and I'd welcome any negative outcome. Only hungry peasants rebel; a full belly does not induce a revolution.

Fuck them all.

Wait...so Mt Gox was hacked?! Evil hackers ran away with the money.  There were bad guys...they swear!

This is not news.  It is pure manipulation/fear mongering/posturing/etc. Neither side can prove anything.

Internet security is very simple. We all knew these basic facts back when the internet was just a little hatchling and we connected to AOL via dialup modems.

1. Assume everything you put on a computer connected to the internet is publicly available for all to see.
2. If you want to put something on an online computer, but want to maintain some degree of privacy, it is up to you to take the necessary steps keep it safe.

So you buried your stack of 100 dollar bills under the public park bench and thought a few leaves covering it was good enough security?  And you blame the guy who goes around looking under park benches for buried cash? Whose fault is it that your money (data) got stolen?

3.  There is no online juridiction, and there is no such thing as a "hacker."
