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

[toknormal]

...added some trivia to that last post.

Your not the only one who's noticed that....
The subtle common factor amongst many of them  - both implicitly and explicitly - is a mindset that believes in the supremacy of technology over the human.
Here's a backgrounder, straight from one of its own staff members: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=971275.0

Holy moly, such self indulgent naive ego-centric ramblings, reminds me of a philosophy student I shared a house with at university when he came home drunk(lol), hard to take seriously some one who recommends a Tom Cruise movie as a key learning point

You could buy BTC or USD at CEX.io with it (3.5% commission) and then buy DASH. Not too much on offer there at the moment though

I have had interest in Monero for some time its the constant trolling that has kept me away from it.

The Monero folks that troll here? I doubt many of them contribute anything to Monero, they're mostly just parasites that want to see their profits grow and their post history is usually revealing. Funny thing is, if they spent as much time making an honest living as they do spreading FUD they'd probably make far more, pitiable really.

Not only that but to see Monero reps in person doing the same thing did much more damage than good from an investor standpoint. If I wanted to be taken seriously I wouldn't be acting like that.

Exactly.

Psst.  Fix your Siggy.

I always thought the NSA (or some other national agency) implications originated from Bytecoin, as it seems to be a honeypot designed to get people use it thinking their transactions will be private.

And also from their representatives refusing to answer to a question whether they are working with any law enforcement agencies.

very interesting, very telling

I tested darksend today!

I must say, I like it that you can premix your coins and then use that "dark balance" for sending anonymous transactions  
Pretty impressed by the GUI as well.

My only remark (also related to the thing below) is that it took nearly 3 hours to mix 2 DASH... That seems a bit slow, but hopefully if we get more masternodes online, that won't be an issue anymore. But I'm willing to wait a bit. Privacy has a price, in this case it's waiting time.

If  you're not running a version 0.12.0.55 Masternode, you're putting the breaks on when people are trying to mix.  We still have about 18% on a different version which is messing up the mixing performance.  Like hitting a brick wall. 

So please update ASAP, thanks

Another thing I want to mention: when testing a transaction, it costed me 0.1 DASH as a fee. I know that with transactions, fees are involved, but 0.1 DASH (around 0.001 BTC or 0.25 USD) is pretty hefty. Will fees be lowered someday?

With v13 everything will be better. Instant and free mixing!

snip....

Funnily, in an interesting bit of "rabbit hole" trivia, there is a sci-fi culture/genre known as "Cyberpunk" which is loosely associated with transhumanism by many. One term originating in this genre (created by William Gibson in the Novel 'Neuromancer') to do with hacking into protected networks is "Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics" (ICE).

In Neuromancer, a piece of software designed to break through such ICE's is known as, (surprise) an ICEbreaker.



In fact, a bit like what this bit of software does....



As it happens, the company that built and marketed that software was started by a certain personality, well known on BCT who would later go on to do even "greater" things at a company called "Hashfast".

Just a co-incidence, of course.  

wow, that's a deep deep rabbit hole. god knows what else you'll find down there.

We care more about tech than enriching instamine masternode owners.

Yes, that's why you premined 82% of the total float of Bytecoin (the first Cryptonote coin) before releasing it, and when that plan didn't work as people realized what's up, you proceeded to launch a plethora of Bytecoin clones in case any of those would stick. What I'm not so sure about yet, is if your motivation was greed, or building a honey pot for people who think they'd be anonymous using your coin.

I tried to find some things out about monero today, and I think they launched that coin because bytecoin had interesting tech, but was 80% premined.
I'm not a crypto-expert, so I can't verify their claims. Still need to research it a bit more though.

What would be helpful if there are people who are smarter than me that already commented on DASH tech and/or Monero tech.
Are there some bitcoin devs interested in DASH and/or Monero?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't mixing slow sometimes because of a lack of people mixing, not the number of masternodes?

I had over $50,000 on Cryptsy on the 5th Oct, I sold (at a loss) for BTC, LTC & DASH, I was able to withdraw the 8,433 DASH, but the 2,886 LTC & 76.24 BTC have been stuck there for over one week, I was then locked out of my account and dealing with support has been a nightmare, fobbed off with "you're in a queue" or ignored mostly.

I would not advise risking any funds there atm.

Will update on developments...

We were all worried about you there   I hope you can get access to your account back soon, and especially your funds back!  I'm sorry about that

Many thanks, I got access to my account back, but no sign of the BTC or LTC as yet and no response for the last couple of days to my many support requests, no explanation, no money, nothing.

Yay! Have you considered what somebody suggested a few pages back, about converting some of those holdings to Dash or another currency and seeing if they transfer out.

FFS, are you still chasing those bitcoins and litecoins, thats worrying, sorry about the situation, bet you feel helpless when they ain't answering support, that guy who had 5k dash stuck for over a week, did finally get them in end I heard.
(I presume your phone got others, because they went straight afterwards, btw)

If I may advise, try to revert your pending transactions, so you have all of the balance available in your account. Subsequently, try to find the coins that are still sufficiently available for withdrawal (ArticMine suggested this as well if I recall correctly). Perhaps using smaller, but significant amounts first. Anyway, best of luck and I hope you get everything out in the end.

The Final Leaked TPP Text is All That We Feared

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared
 

Bump.

Jeffrey Tucker's assessment is similarly dire: https://tucker.liberty.me/the-poison-apple-called-tpp/

"Like the Nafta and WTO battles before it, the TPP is being marketed as a free-trade agreement. The partisans have lined up for and against it on that basis. But this is all so much distraction. The true core of the treaty is protectionist in the extreme. It protects a handful of powerful industry players against genuine market competition."

Has anyone yet asked Tucker to take donations in Dash on his site? It would seem like a good fit.

When the withdraw operation is confirmed (yes) but you don't receive your founds, it can be reverted manually only by cryptsy. I think and hope is only a time matter.
