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

After a careful reconsideration I think Darkcoin is THE best altcoin around...I even like the new name.

DASH sounds pretty cool  

 hahaha !! Well played, whoever that was

Congrats on the Kim K. deal.  Will coinye be involved as well?

Thanks. How is XC and the Blocknet coming along?

Anyone else notice strange behaviour with the latest Darkcoin client daemon.

On one service I run the response time for 'darkcoind getinfo', for example, is around 30 - 35 seconds (dedicated server with 32GB ram).

All other coins on the same server have response times of sub 1 second.

Also the client regularly seems to get stuck on blocks behind the main chain. For example the client is now stuck on 235905 where as the main explorer is showing the current block as 235924.

"version" : 110125,
"protocolversion" : 70066,
"walletversion" : 60000,

- pls upgrade to walletversion 61000 with Commandline option -upgradewallet (make a backup first !)
- pls check in your debug.log for any of these errors ''ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk :'' if you find such error then delete everything except your wallet.dat and darkcoin.conf to rebuild your blockchain.
 

Thank you for your suggestion.

I updated the walletversion using -upgradewallet
I checked the last 100000 lines of debug.log for 'ReadBlockFromDisk' and did not find one occurrence so did not delete everything.

The problems persist.

Talking about the 15-30'is seconds delay right after starting the daemon? If so, its been always like this, at least for me, on puny little VPS's. After that, its pretty snappy

No, 30+ second delay all the time.

edit: I have thousands of 'dust' inputs - I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Although other wallets I host often have far more dust inputs and still have normal response times.

 I did feel a slow down a few versions back, on a particularly large volume wallet I had. Other wallets were quicker. But these were QT on a Mac laptop. But a version or two later no more lag on that wallet.

If its dust, can't you consolidate them into one input and get rid of them?

Yes, running my dust sweeper now. The upgraded wallet seems to have fixed the problem of getting stuck on blocks every 10 minutes or so, strangely - which was making my duster work very slowly.

It's coming along great thanks.  My parallel project is developing quickly.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Use "-litemode=1" cmd-line option when you start your wallet:

Code:

-litemode=<n>          Disable all Masternode and Darksend related functionality (0-1, default: 0)

If this one helps you then we already have a fix for this issue in 0.11.2.x  

EDIT: nope, that will not help you actually you have to comment https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/master/src/rpcmisc.cpp#L72 and recompile

Didn't know they were involved in virtual currency business. Cool if so.

Kanye sued Coinye.  Kim K. likely has nothing to do with a crypto called Dash but she might be just as willing to fight for her trademark.  My post was a joke.  Poor name choice.  

 
 Coinye was a crypto for Kanye fans. They were using his face as logo.

 no drama

Coinye IS a crypto for anyone.  Many logos have been used.

Probably not getting stuck, but the process hanging or something. Please let us know how it goes, always good to know, and please consider joining DCT for feedback, and where you get the best support possible.

Trademarks work on a category by category basis.

If anyone has successfully trademarked DASH within financial services, then that would be an issue. Provided Dash doesn't open up clothing stores, it shouldn't matter. But that's why people need to do trademark searches, plus wait to hear from anyone that might object to an application before they are granted.

As an attempt not to get sued, they ran through a few other logos, but got pounded on anyway, i think

Your "Coinye" is announced Nov 9th 2014

What have I said that is not true?  Coinye still exists regardless of who's doing it.  They have used many logos and they are continuing to develop and use new logos.  But this is a DRK thread so enough about coinye.  If you'd like to discuss coinye or your perception that my facts are wrong then feel free to shoot me a PM.

Probably its old news, but just read it...

You have everyone waiting. I am curious to see what the results of your investigation are. Cheers.

P.S. Sorry for the off-topic guys.

 Na, just a quicky, no hard feelings, maybe I read you wrong, but you made the joke

"Kanye sued Coinye, so Kard will sue Dash"  - then right after I state the obvious, and you replied "no, coinye is for everyone" - hence my posterior response.

- with the amount of crap we're had this week, please excuse me if I came out a bit too harsh...

Dash - "Downloadable Cash"

So this 3 or 4 businesses now using 'Dash' in the money/cash/payment/software related business?

1. http://www.getda.sh/
2. http://www.dash.com.sg/index.html
3. Don't remember
4. Not sure
more? 

I think there was a parking payment one and a financial software company too.  I know people are trying to make the best out of the name and show support for it but lets be real here.  If you want adoption why pick a name that can cause confusion with already established business? 

owner: We already accept Dash.  Why do I want to accept it again?  Oh, you're different?  Why do you use the same name?

customer: Which Dash payment do you take?

But that's why people need to do trademark searches, plus wait to hear from anyone that might object to an application before they are granted.

www.getda.sh was founded in 2011.  Years before Dark or Dash ever existed.  Think Dark could win a trademark case against them?  What about these other Dash trademarks?
