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

Isn't it possible to "mirror" the fork and simulate a main branch ?

Or Github should get their head out their ass. Making forks unsearchable is quite ludicrous. If the rumors are true and this is about to become their Code of Conduct, I'd recommend to switch to Codeplex. SJWs are ruining the interwebs.

Oh and smooth: Thanks for the reminder. I am quite proud of those quotes, especially in the context they were written!

Smooth is a core-dev of a smaller competitor, and the only reason he is here instead of developing his coin(s) is to try to disrupt / talk-down his competitor and go where the $ is, hoping some of it will come back to him.  If you check his post history you can see he does this to all his larger competitors on a daily basis, and at the same time he tries to takover his smaller competitors (e.g. he just took over Aeon and has acquired 2.4% of the supply).  For larger coins that aren't competing, he tries to promote his coins to ciphen $ from them too e.g. his core-teams recent panhandling on /r/Doge: https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/3fjz29/hello_shibes_im_one_of_the_mods_of_rmonero_ive/ctpggl5

He seems unaware that as a dev of a competitor and therefore totally biased, he looks like a real charlatan and destroys his own and his coin's credibility, but unfortunately there are enough people who still say 'I really respect that dev team' so he just carries on.

So he doesn't care what he is talking about, as long as you are talking with him, in his mind, the competitor is being denigrated and some of that $ will flow back to him. Therefore arguing with him or really talking about anything is pointless because he is fighting a war of words instead of trying to develop the best technology / community, which I think we all know is the only winning strategy in the real world.

So just IMHO, bottom line, it's best to ignore the dev-trolls that come here and not let them disrupt the conversation, or just point out that they are biased and making themselves look bad.

 Smooth is indeed a core-dev... One with least professional attitude towards actual "development" I have ever seen. Instead of coding and hard work, he is posting on forums that have nothing to do with his project. Not even relevant important stuff, but actively going into other coin's threads and talking trash. just plain old rubbish marinated with poo-poo.

 That alone should give you a sense why "the other coin" is doing "so well".

Can somonedrop me a link with DASH price charts, since Bitfinex are delisting DASH, there is nothing else on Bitcoinwisdom.

I believe trolling from ANY coin community is unacceptable, wither from us, xmr or anyone for that matter.  Unfortunately that is the new culture of the internet, where people can talk trash behind a computer screens and not have to worry about getting their teeth knocked out and not face the music.  Oh well...clearly that will never change now with the culture of tough talking keyboard peckers, so whats the point.  I for one...have my address up and full name for anyone that wants to visit and go old school, and talk trash in person, we'll sort it out then.    LoL  in the mean I'm going out for a ride!

I think the truth is it doesn't really matter what the FUD is on BCT, most users already chose which coin they support for their own reasons.  

The smart money can spot the FUD / charlatans very quickly because they can just look at what are the real achievements / delivery record of the developers, how active is the community in terms of progressing the coin constructively, and what is the actual unique value of the work they did compared to the most similar coins and what is the future potential of that tech.

Dash obviously scores top in all those fields; the dev's consistently deliver unique and valuable features, there is a thriving / constructive community on dashtalk, and with the Dash dev's innovating their own features like InstantX, built-in mixing, masternodes, it's a lot harder to copy the tech or even when other coins do, Dash devs are the experts and already far ahead innovating the next thing to maintain the lead.

I know this is 100% obvious to all the members here, just stating the obvious with the latest FUD attacks so it's said, these FUD'sters know exactly what buttons to press, in the end as Dash's tech leads the market, they will be back to FUD'ing for chump-change and -talking- about being better instead of delivering, so best to ignore it

I wouldn't be surprised to learn the comment in the red box below is true. Matches the type of people we got to know here (it wasn't deleted because it's not his account)
Oh btw: This isn't offtopic! He bashes Dash in the video @11:50

[blobafett2]

LOL - I won't stoke the fires - lol
[but I want to - lol]

It's hard because there are some real nasty characters who want what Dash has and don't want to play fair to get it (like by developing competitive features) and they are PRO FUD-artists who know how to play on people's emotions.  

Just remember these kind of people move from scam to scam trying to take advantage of others and filled with hate all day to make a living, that's a pretty horrid existence.  

I think Dash is a good hearted community, 99% of the conversation is how to help people by making a better version of bitcoin, the dev's just keep their heads down and work hard and deliver. Can you imagine if they were on all their competitor's threads FUD'ing?  This is what counts, the real market isn't stupid like some BCT operators seem to think.  

The FUD doesn't matter, but engaging with it distracts the conversation which is what they want.

trolls presence in this thread is mind blowing

^ Here's some more of that "professional demeanor" bigrcanada. You must be proud of this bunch, quoting an uncorroborated personal attack from a brand new account with zero activity. "I wouldn't be surprised to learn" that one of your wonderful associates with the "professional demeanor" put that there.

so back to the important stuff...

Anyone know yet when the new version is released?   Has the testing gone smooth?

I don't think anyone has a real clue what would happen with the price. I sold all my BTC at $289.00 on July 29th and am very reluctant to go back. I also sold half of my DASH because I am scared of the short-term price movement while hopeful to be able to load up if the price of either BTC or DASH plunges.

DASH team / development seems as a project that has stamina (not to talk about the vision) to stay in this brutal game of changing the world of finance long term and to emerge as a winner, but with the world falling apart I have absolutely no clue will the upcoming stock market crisis result in crypto also crashing or not.

My overall feeling is that what's going on in the real world keeps the masses from anything new and abstract like crypto-currencies. I have clients all over the world and tried to introduce either DASH or BTC as a form of payment because costs of wire-transferring the money or PayPaling it makes a huge dent in our already thin margins but no one even wanted to consider my suggestion. And these were all IT people...

This does not bode well for a long-term prospects. In the nine months since I gather the data, a number of Dashtalk members rose from 1,853 on November 6th, 2014 to 3,160 today, August 10th, 2015. So, 1,307 people, or 130 per a month or roughly 4 - 5 people per a day are entering this sphere. The growth in this particular metric is flat-lined so the interest is not picking up despite really mind-blowing revolutionary advances Evan and the team are making.

We're still a lunatic fringe of a marginal movement that might not be a bad thing at all   but will the humanity, as fucked up as it seems to be, be able to grasp and embrace a whiff of freedom it is given is entirely beyond me.

This is a great post. I too have become skeptical of crypto over the last year and a half. There are times when I wonder if we aren't creating a solution where there is no problem? Decentralization sounds amazing, but does anybody really care? Low fee value transfers are great, but it's too hard to use.

It's also very frustrating that Dash is one of the best projects out there, but nobody will give us the time of day. Our marketcap languishes sub-$20 million, and mentioning Dash anywhere on these forums gets you flamed and mocked (outside of this thread, of course). How can we have such drastically superior technology and not even be a niche of a niche?

Every day the price of bitcoin trends down further. Greece/China gave us a nice run up, but of course once those crises passed, the price began to collapse again. I'm reminded of  the saying "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

For now, here's hoping. Cheers!

P.S. For the record, let's go through how a U.S. customer buys Dash.

1) Register on an exchange such as Circle or Kraken or Coinbase.
2) Usually fill out a bunch of KYC information.
3) Input bank account info.
4) Make an ACH transfer into your account on the exchange.
5) Wait 3-5 business days. Now you have bitcoin. To convert back to fiat, reverse the process, all-the-while dealing with deposit and withdrawal limits.
6) To get Dash, set up a new account at another exchange like Cryptsy
7) Send your BTC there, buy Dash, send to wallet. (Alternately, you could use Shapeshift.io and avoid creating an extra account.)

cool

'Things' in Test-net are moving along nicely

Working on a couple of bugs - which is to be expected



Won't be long now :-D

Good stuff!  Can't thank the team enough for all the hard work they do, and the community members who help with the testing and support (like I know you do Mangled from reading DashTalk ).  

I think a lot of Dash's unique features the team are building are way ahead and not fully appreciated yet in the existing market (like all good disruptive techs) - Budget system is another one like that I think, looking forward to seeing what comes out of it

"I wouldn't be surprised to learn" that one of your wonderful associates with the "professional demeanor" put that there.

I see no comment by Mr. Let-her-pee below it refuting the argument made.
Not defending yourself is an admission of guilt. Of course you gonna say I just made that up. Well, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfL58z4E70o

Edit: inb4 "Evan never defended himself against my accusations boohoo, he's guilty!" despite everbody knowing he refuted every retarded argument ever made against Dash early last year and trolls couldn't come up with new criticism since then.

[bigrcanada]

LOL!  Hey...I'm always up for a good scrap at our mma classes.  Your more then welcome to come spar!

EDIT:  To be fair, I'm fighting in the Heavy Weight Class, just so there aren't any surprises.

any dev that wants to learn what a "professional demeanor" is should start here I think https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=107946;sa=showPosts or here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

oh the irony...

can we get back to Dash now?

bigrcanada, I'm wondering when the "professional demeanor" starts?

Well....as you can imagine, some people are just fed up with being politically correct and all the shit spewing around.  I find it all humorous myself.  It seems most forums of ANY KIND on ANY TOPIC seems to be the domain of the mal-adjusted.   Not sure why people, any people, find it necessary to be so obnoxious.   But...I'm off to enjoy some sunshine and some open high-way....I think more people should do the same!
