Bitshares won in May, it is integrated as BitUSD

LOL, you support BitcoinDark, but don't support DASH...

Are you caring only about donations, but not about providing your clients with most popular crypto-exchange-directions?  Wink

+100 I was thinking exactly like Tao said before....these were my first feelings...anyway....better to have some volume and constant fees from trades instead of being signed on exchange and the story finishes there... we will see and time will show...

btw...DASH will be in every prestigious exchange...period!

BE SMART, USE DASH ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Doge against Dash
Who's gonna win? Smiley several hours left (till 00.00 GMT)

How many leaders are you going to add? I see bitshares is first place ...
Bitshares won in May, it is integrated as BitUSD

So if you can muster 50,000 total votes, you earn $6,000... not bad

Edit: 50,000 X 0.0005 X $240ish

A neccessary evil to get on the first exchange with mastercard ?  Wink
A quick tally of the numbers so far suggests around 17 bitcoins making $4148,
and roughly $2200 will be from all of the losing coins ...


Dash is 27.3 times faster with syncing and updating than Bitcoin and 93.7 times faster than Monero. Bitcoin (v0.11.0) has a Tao ratio 11.2% faster than bitcoin (v0.10.0) release.
Dash (v.0.12.0.49) = Tao sync ratio = 0.15 seconds / hour of update || Dash (v.0.11.2.23) = Tao sync ratio = 0.24 seconds / hour of update. V12 versus V11 speedup = +36.5%
Bitcoin (v.0.11.0) = Tao sync ratio = 4.14 seconds / hour of update || Monero (v.0.41.1)  = Tao sync ratio = 14.2 seconds / hour of update

The mindlessness of these people thinking they're doing something soooo useful for Bitcoin just knows no end. They be won't satisfied until the whole thing's turned into the biggest god-awful mess with unravelling suggestions/"evidence" of people who've done nothing wrong except buy some BTC being implicated as holders of "black bitcoin". This is surveillance gone mad.

As you've pointed out Tok many times, a fundamental property of 'money' is its fungability. Without that, it's doomed to failure. They're determined to make two bitcoin markets with two differing streams.

How long before those idiots at Coinbase starts sending emails such as this?

"Dear Coinbase customer, it's come to our attention that 6.786538 of the 10.0 bitcoins in your account have been associated with past illegal activities. Whilst we understand that many of our customers have never used their bitcoins for illegal activities, as a holder of bitcoin you are responsible for ensuring you're not taking part in the proceeds of crime.

To that end we have isolated your illegal bitcoin into a separate quarantined area within your wallet. You have 30 days to prove to us you did not intentionally acquire bitcoin through illegal activities and send them to your Coinbase wallet. Failure to do so may subject you to the full force of the law as you have broken one of the key conditions of your agreement with us.

Alternatively, there is an amnesty period of 7 days in which you can click on the new 'Black Bitcoin' Purge button to remove all traces of your illegal bitcoin holdings from your Coinbase account. If exercised within the 7 days, no further action will be taken against you."




....Yes, Christmas may indeed be coming early for Dash!

Fungibility is further screwed up by sidechains because you've actually got entire sections of the money supply being traded with completely distinct identities.

I don't think you can blame them for that. Coinomat and Bitcoindark both belong to SuperNET. No wonder they support each other.

There's the Ferrari engine version I've been waiting for. Early returns, but so far it does everything excellent, kicking ass and taking names! We'll see how it fares longer term.

NBC reporting $1 Billion a day being withdrawn from Greek banks.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/greece-debt-crisis-despair-1-billion-withdrawn-banks-day-n378401

It's worth watching the embedded video to see a real symbol of the difficulties being experienced; a reporter reports from the main baseball stadium used in the 2004 Olympic games. So sad to see the disrepair and deterioration.

I would have expected to see more fiat coming into BTC from the Europe Zone at sites like this http://fiatleak.com/

Perhaps the Greeks aren't using the exchanges covered on that site.

It just goes to show you how tiny and minuscule is Bitcoin and the public's awareness of Bitcoin. I'd hazard to guess that millions of Greeks are physically going down to their banks to withdraw physical Euros and put them under their mattresses (I expect we may see lots of crime as physical notes are flapping around in a multitude of insecure and volatile situations). As the article said (bearing in mind it's NBC - mainstream media - so I don't give it a lot of credence) the banks are probably going to run out money by Monday. You'd think that people would be pouring into Bitcoin right now; it's a no-brainer. But maybe there's just so little awareness that something like crypto even exists it's barely registering.

You know we (us crypto nerds) sometimes forget just how little comprehension the average person has that the world we live in with all its countries, borders and jurisdictions is all just a construct of the human mind; there's not really any definition of these structures, zones and limits outside of us all agreeing to them. The mountains, hills, valleys and rivers and oceans are all still doing what they've done for aeons (albeit with greater stresses on the eco system than ever before). It's only the humans that have this whole set-up in their minds.

An example of what I'm talking about can be seen here. This is a conference in France with three Bitcoin "experts" presenting their views. It's actually quite good and Nicholas Cary from BlockChain.info does a pretty good job at the beginning of explaining what Bitcoin is and why it's important. But what highlights this realisation that, what we all take for granted here about crypto, is just not comprehended at all by someone who hasn't yet (potentially) thought through how a global peer-to-peer distributed network sits completely above countries, borders and jurisdictions. Watch as this audience member (who identifies herself as working in the mobile payments space) asks the panel about how the blockchain deals with AML and the need to report to authorities on movement of money, etc. I'm not picking on her specifically, but it just highlights the likelihood that we forget just how many billions of people there are in the world who may have heard of Bitcoin but have absolutely no comprehension of what it's all about and what it means on a global scale.

Agreed, I took a bit of a break from Crypto the last few months and speaking to people at work about it, a lot of them said "Oh, Bitcoin, doesn't that guy who went to prison control it?"

Hmmm... Job done commercial media...

Not sure what's happening around the globe, but Australian banks are spending tens of millions increasing their digital/smartphone presence.  You can withdraw money from a teller machine without a card now, pay someone with a mobile phone number/QR code and even NFC "Bump" payments are coming online.

They aren't ignoring crypto, they are taking some of it's best features and incorporating them into their value offering in a very polished way...

Patience, my friends. Yes, they can try to disguise themselves as digital cash, but they never will be. Crypto is naturally superior to any of these systems. The word will get out, slowly at first, and then faster and faster until crypto is the norm, not the exception. Dash is positioned well because the code is constantly improving, and proceeds are going to be re-invested in advertising, development, and new services.

We all knew going in that this investment would be long term. Bitcoin (and Dash) is not going anywhere, and the longer it sticks around gives it validity. I for one am looking forward to the slow shift in public opinion towards crypto. Keep your heads up, chaps, it will be slow going for a long, long time.

Yes, well said Tao. I know it's long term and the banks will grab hold of things like Ripple and IBM's Internet-of-Everything blockchain tech and start deploying them. Then you'll have these oh-so-obnoxious, excuse-me-while-I-vomit banking big-wigs talking about how they've taken the best aspects of crypto and refined and honed them to robust standards and how they're going to "revolutionise" banking yada yada. We'll have to withstand all of that BS/spin/rhetoric and a whole lot more yet. But they'll never be able to come clean and point out to Mr and Mrs average that the entire circus tent is held up by ongoing creation of money (via a wholly corrupt central banking system) that's then turned into debt for the masses to keep the wheels of supposed prosperity rolling.

That's what Dash's bringing to the realm that's so completely and utterly at odds with the charade the whole world's caught up in.

Very exciting to be part of it.

I would have expected to see more fiat coming into BTC from the Europe Zone at sites like this http://fiatleak.com/

Perhaps the Greeks aren't using the exchanges covered on that site.




It just goes to show you how tiny and minuscule is Bitcoin and the public's awareness of Bitcoin. I'd hazard to guess that millions of Greeks are physically going down to their banks to withdraw physical Euros and put them under their mattresses (I expect we may see lots of crime as physical notes are flapping around in a multitude of insecure and volatile situations). As the article said (bearing in mind it's NBC - mainstream media - so I don't give it a lot of credence) the banks are probably going to run out money by Monday. You'd think that people would be pouring into Bitcoin right now; it's a no-brainer. But maybe there's just so little awareness that something like crypto even exists it's barely registering.

You know we (us crypto nerds) sometimes forget just how little comprehension the average person has that the world we live in with all its countries, borders and jurisdictions is all just a construct of the human mind; there's not really any definition of these structures, zones and limits outside of us all agreeing to them. The mountains, hills, valleys and rivers and oceans are all still doing what they've done for aeons (albeit with greater stresses on the eco system than ever before). It's only the humans that have this whole set-up in their minds.

An example of what I'm talking about can be seen here. This is a conference in France with three Bitcoin "experts" presenting their views. It's actually quite good and Nicholas Cary from BlockChain.info does a pretty good job at the beginning of explaining what Bitcoin is and why it's important. But what highlights this realisation that, what we all take for granted here about crypto, is just not comprehended at all by someone who hasn't yet (potentially) thought through how a global peer-to-peer distributed network sits completely above countries, borders and jurisdictions. Watch as this audience member (who identifies herself as working in the mobile payments space) asks the panel about how the blockchain deals with AML and the need to report to authorities on movement of money, etc. I'm not picking on her specifically, but it just highlights the likelihood that we forget just how many billions of people there are in the world who may have heard of Bitcoin but have absolutely no comprehension of what it's all about and what it means on a global scale.

I just had to say ditto!  This is so true!  I know nobody except my husband that has any idea what Bitcoin really is, let alone knows anything other than having heard the name on TV.  Nobody at all, except those I've tried to tell.  And none of those I've tried to tell were interested and of course thought I was gonna get myself into trouble.  (who knows, maybe they're right?)

And I hope you're right Tao, because it really freaked me out when I realized the Banksters were going to use Bitcoin to reduce their costs and provide a lot of what cryptocurrencies were planning on providing, but with fiat.  But ultimately, it will always be more expensive for them and there will continue to be violations of privacy that will eventually shock people into doing something about it.

We need to form and adopt all our ideas from forum posts into Articles and "bombard" them to Medias. Not limited crypto-medias, but general (popular) Medias.  Cool
