   looks like "DRSH" 

-onetime

I don't see the R but I wouldn't mind if they closed the line off in the A.  It might even look better because the D is already so stylized...

The A, styled in this fashion, sports a little C in the white part of it. This is a subtle subliminal message that DASH is "Cash". Subliminal messages can be quite powerful, so that's why I've been advocating keeping it.

the subliminal "C" is NOT worth making the word illegible. this is important. people need to look at it and see DASH, not DRSH.

Now it looks like R.
On the other hand, if we wanted "hidden C " it had to be incorporated (somehow) into D so to be read as "cash"

I agree. With a small white "C" inside the large "A" of DASH I don't see "CASH" at all. Maybe if the "A" were inside the "C" instead. I think it's fine just being able to play with the "D" at the front.

come on coins don't leave us dangling

DASH is decentralised, anything can happen

As always, excuse my terrible lack of artistry, but here's an idea I once mentioned to play with the "c":


Maybe someone could make a gif out of this (with correct font and colors of course) just to see how it looks.

Like jokes, if you have to explain them, well, err.....maybe it ain't so obvious or funny

It would be a simple animation when done, no explanation needed. I'm just incapable to create it, so that's not the "joke", only the blueprint of it.

I see where you are coming from.

The first question you need to ask yourself is does this message translate on different background colour schemes?  

When Dash goes mainstream, it will need to be used by all sorts of businesses and the branding will have to fit around all sorts of scenarios. It probably would work, but, secondly, is an animation always going to be used?

big respect for enthusiasm to the cause

I think you're blowing this a little bit out of proportion: We all agree that "Dash" stands for "Digital Cash", don't we?
I was simply suggesting an idea on how to illustrate how the name "Dash" came about and this animation could be used on websites and informational videos/news spots (even commercials maybe). I'm not thinking big business and world domination here.

Never posted in here before but I agree with you on this one - the A as it currently is detracts from what's been done with the D (less impact)

The new name is absolute genius though

[Propulsion]

The logo looks better with a full "A".

Welcome to a few days ago

[Kai Proctor]

I like the other one, it's like a "C" in the "A" ---> "DCASH"

P.S. For me it doesn't look like a R. But hey someone used to see a duck in the old logo  ...

One thing is for sure, the branding discussions will remain with us for a long time yet

I see nothing wrong in accepting these guys have right. It looks better if "A" is clearly defined. No one's crown would fall if this tiniest of all tweaks would be done...

Looks like bitcoinwisdom has the Litecoin section back.

They still do not have DRK->DASH.

The slippery slope of the DRK DASH INSTA-MINE INSTA-SCAM!!!!!!!!

 TheDasher, the freelance troll... His only mission in life is to detract Dash. Look at his profile description (left) and his sig... should explain it all quite clearly.

One reason would be that Monero has never reduced its rate of supply, because we stuck with the social contract even when the supply was a bit high for the market (causing dumping), and big investors wanted it cut. Darkcoin/dash did make cuts, as I understand it. Monero may have been originally designed with a somewhat faster supply curve, I don't know the details, but in any case that is somewhat irrelevant given that the darkcoin/dash supply curve has been changed multiple times.

There are better threads for this discussion though, such as this one so feel free to join over there if you are actually interested. Other than correcting incorrect information, I never post about Monero here.

Here's what an independent review says about the Monero supply curve (click through to see an analysis of the entire blockchain showing everything is as it should be:

On one hand, a 4 year plan to produce 85% of the currency is waaaay better than 90% of the coins on this investigation. In comparison to bitcoin, we see that from its inception from January of 2009 to today, May of 2014 (roughly 5.5 years), bitcoin has produced around 60% of its expected coin totals 163). In that sense, Monero isn't too much of a divergence.

There are no instantmines or premines in Monero. The smooth block subsidy scheme could be a little bit more tapered towards a slower distribution than it is, but ultimately this coin passes the smell test.

Highly inflationary altcoin curves create a hooking addiction, where you must constantly throw more money to bring yourself to a better cost-average price, as the supply inflates and price is pressured to go down.

Most investors don't have the pockets to chase their losses all the time, neither are they willing to constantly feed their investment to get to a lower and lower price / cost-averaging their way. So those who don't have the pockets lose out, and those who do chase the investment (kind of like gambling where you are chasing your losses), get a lot of coins and an unexpected size of investment on their part (they wanted to go with an X amount of BTCs and ended up doing 5-10X).

One must admit that there is a "hooking the investor and get tons of his BTCs" element in this type of emission scheme. Fairness, in this context, is problematic because the regular guy can't simply buy 10 coins and expect ROI when the market is flooded with new coins. So, in a sense, only the deep-pocketed whales can gain - and even them might lose quite a few if they are invested from the start. You need a very weird investment strategy on when to enter, in order to not lose money.

And while we are also looking beyond Plato's cave, trolls especially may enjoy this allegory

That's interesting, I wonder if this is what the Matrix trilogy is based on.

I thought i should add some Descartes to this conversation as well
