Yeah, I have a favorite too, but I don't want to influence the voting... I would be proud to display any of them! Great work by the entrants. Thanks for voting, and if you haven't yet, you have 21 hours to have your say.

I like the banner from option 1 is absolutely great and I like the profile pic from option 2 is the best.  Go with that combination and credit both of them. Or do a separate vote banner and profile pic...   I don't like the banner on option 2 or the profile pic of option 1, so I just did not vote. But congratz, they look really good.

I completely agree with this, and they actually look very good together (though I voted for one)

[TanteStefana2]

So, since... who was it?  Well, whoever it was, since they posted about the decentralized search engine YaCy, I put a server up, and I'm indexing http://dashtalk.org LOL.  I also added another favorite website, but not this one.  It's too huge, and I only care about DASH anyway ;P

Maybe I'll work on Andreas A. (sp? LOL) but I have to figure out how to search for things/people etc... instead of a website??

Found this interview of Peter Todd in r/bitcoin
https://medium.com/zapchain-magazine/why-one-bitcoin-developer-thinks-cryptocurrencies-have-a-dreadful-future-93007cff1613
He brings up several weaknesses with Bitcoin. While you read this, you will savor the manner in which DASH is addressing them.

This is a fantastic advertisement for Dash!

I have written a killer article about this, and I am going to release it and distribute it tomorrow. Stay tuned!

You have given me something to think about...

 Ripple is requesting user info, now Stellar is going for trusted nodes.

 When will the madness end?

The Stellar Consensus Protocol white paper outlines the principles of federated Byzantine agreement, by which nodes in a network agree to accept information from a group of trusted nodes, known as quorums or slices

Calm keep, more space and a market cap to DASH.The people are not as stupid (the majority), nothing is as usable as cash, whether physical or digital(DASH) -cash is cash

Future Events Section
------------------------------------------------
1 - The US, Saudi, Guttarian plan will fail as Russia will not collapse
2 - The US Petrodollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world
3 - DarkCoin will become the new reserve currency of the world

Anyway, I like the 3rd part of Future Events  

I forgot to give the point #2 update

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-13/oil-rich-nations-burn-through-petrodollar-assets-at-record-pace

Anyway, it's all going according to plan.  Better stock up on DASH.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback, didn't reply as don't want to derail the thread to much and UdjinM6 has much work to do  
Ye, only ruling psychopaths could possibly think they can isolate Russia from the rest of the world, is a typical mind set (i.e. everyone is the enemy, even the allies)
Way I see main stream media now is that nothing is backed up by evidence any more, its all spun stories of no substance and this could lead to major war as Putin will not back down on his borders(the cold war is back on), I am just trying to work out whats going on.



Back to Dash now

holy f crowning .. nice work on github

Hi, do you have the link please?
Thanks

https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/308

That was pretty sneaky, Vertoe! Don't tease us like this! Don't let that be the last post we see from you.

We could use you back, man. Dash is a Digital Cash that can be used for anything, and you can have a hand in making it happen. Also, there is a fund for developers now. Keep that in mind.

Take your time, though, if you need to.

I was posting it because it is a very interesting pull request from a technological perspective. I'm surprised to see udjin did a dirty merge of the bitcoin master (which is not 0.10.0 but 0.10.99 btw) and it seems to work out. I've been waiting to see the 0.12 wallet. Will test it.

But I have to disappoint you, I will not return or contribute to darkcoin as long as it is nothing more than a company selling a product. And I dont want to offend anyone when I say I simply have to smile when I see that darkcoin wants to take on bitcoin. Bitcoin is a consensus protocol specification, a team of developers maintaining a reference implementation, miners sustaining the consensus throughout the network and a democratic foundation which does nothing than public relations.

Darkcoin has none of this and should take the time to learn why it's important to support decentralization over corporate-like behaviour, why it's important to achieve a network consensus by miners not developers and why it's important to have democratic fallback infrastructure in place in case there are disputes without consensus. darkcoin is competion for paypal, not bitcoin. corporations can fail. cryptocurrencies cant. mistrust authority, promote decentralization.

I agree with most of what vertoe has said here.  The technology still has the potential that it always has but DRK/Dash is beginning to lose its way imho.  I hope this isn't seen as a bitter post on the basis that I lost all of my DRK.  I've spent a lot of time thinking about this project, the amount of work that volunteers put in and the structure of the foundation (even had a fantastic evening chatting it over with Otoh with a few beers and a burger last week).  From my perspective it isn't clear to me whether 1 Dash will be a share or a coin in the future.

 "...we should have a completely working Masternode system and 100% decentralization. Also mobile wallets for sending and receiving money instantly, in a secure way, without having to wait for block chain confirmation. With all of this technology implemented, the goal is to get many small businesses to take Dash directly through mobile devices. This allows customers to buy something in person and walk out 10 seconds later after InstantX confirms the transaction is valid and locks it."

The reference node will go in time. Other groups will spring up eg. ambassadors etc.

Working out what kind of structure works better than the bitcoin foundation model will also take time. You need a "corporate" entity to take care of "corporate" things like trademarking,etc.

Need to get mobile wallets out. And blinding or whatever takes its place with evan's supersecretbitcoinbeating idea.

Covering ground efficiently seems more important to me than perfect decentralisation. Moving towards more decentralised and being efficient should be the end goal though.

I don't even pretend to read all the posts here anymore, my new job has me busier than a one armed taxi driver with an itchy bum.

I don't think Dash has lost it's way, all of crypto must evolve.

A non reversible payment platform is a massive paradigm shift for pretty much everyone, it will take time...

Good post.

Made me laugh too.

And gave me an itchy bum.

Can I suggest a Plan B team? Or they could just simply be an alternative approach team; which may end up being the Plan A team?

We have a DASH Foundation that is working away behind closed doors (well, more practically on IRC) on a Master Plan for mass adoption.

Like the advert says, what's your plan when you run out of water?

In other words, we need a team to independently think about, come up with and put forward a plan for mass adoption.

That way you remove the risk of group think bias when there are one or two people that influence a direction which ultimately doesn't work.

You could extend this concept to three groups, etc. Groups of 3-5 are very effective, any more than that and it gets too complicated.

You could end up with different groups having one or two great ideas and when you merge them all, you get a great master plan.

Ultimately you have to take a pragmatic approach and recognize you need consensus.

My rationale for this is simple - Bitcoin has gone for mass adoption and it has plenty of retailers, gambling sites, exchanges, etc. But it hasn't got mass adoption. Trying to repeat the same steps as Bitcoin but with a shiny new tool is a risk, IMO.

Discuss.

My 2 Duffs on the issue.
