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

[afreer]

Does anyone have any info on what we are to expect with Evolution?

Evan left some clues already:

Requirements:
- Fungibility - All units of the current must be interchangeable (after sending coins they shouldn't have history attached)
- Speed - The currency must be able to compete with credit cards (1-5 second double-spend proof confirmations)
- Governance - The currency must be governed in a decentralized and decisive way
- Funding - The currency must have a permanent decentralized funding source for development, marketing, legal, etc
- Scalability - The currency must be able to scale to billions of transactions per day with 100% decentralization
- Ease Of Use - The currency must be usable by normal every day people

I've been working on DAPI for the last 3 months and there are 8 other devs including Evan working together on Evolution in it's entirety that I have met so far, plus around 40 other people I count in the Dash team contributing to varying degrees behind the scenes, I don't think that's obvious here on Bitcointalk  

I think Evan will start to release details publicly starting with the Miami conference, what i can say from my view is I think that Evolution will be the first time a crypto-currency will be capable to satisfy a mainstream user-base, enough so that I am winding up my day-job to do this full time in Q1 and there is another dev last week that did the same who is the lead Android dev at his company and more people will follow i'm sure.  

What I am expecting from Evolution is to break the barrier to mainstream adoption that all crypto currencies have faced up to now, and I think that's why most of the other devs are here too, although I can only speak for myself

Wow, I didn't realize you were also coming to Dash full time!  Amazing!  Thank you!

Thanks Tante.  Since Evan introduced me to Evolution, I'd be crazy not to.  Cutting and pasting a Bitcoin address from a website into a clunky desktop wallet and waiting 10 minutes to buy something is going to seem like green-screen teletype when we release this.  I wish I could say more

Anyone have the link to the masternode count graph?

Don't know if you already know this one:

http://dash-stats.com

Edit:
and this twitter bot registers the count too
https://twitter.com/dashmasternode

Is there a list made up some where of all the "stat" sites?

This? .

OMG do I really have to RTFM to find out

[qwizzie]

we could refer iCEY to the Dashtalk forum but i'm just not sure if
thats good for the Dashtalk forum's chi ....

DASH Evolution will be exactly what it claims, Evolution. Sticking with Bitcoin compatibility was one of the smartest decisions that they could have made.

Did you really not have a Bitcointalk account prior to October 7 2015? Or did you create this "Dash Only" identity to avoid sullying your real identity and reputation through your involvment with Dash

I might ask you the same, just swap out Oct. 7 2015 with Sept. 21, 2015.

Yes you might, and you are more than welcome to do so. I'm not a Dash developer though, and i'm not on here making vague hype statements like "That's all i can say for now :winkie face:"

Very well, did you create the account just for this?

Nope. I'm not new, i just scrambled my last account.

I bought DASH for more than 0.01 BTC and I'm still waiting for the price increase. I lost almost %40 of my investment. What should I do right now? I'm waiting for a long time.

Cut your losses and sell into the bids while there are still bids to sell into.

They may be 10,000 or more Dash stolen from Cryptsy just waiting to be dumped, and only ~50 BTC in bids are available for all of them.

Next time, use stop-loss orders at 10% and 20%.

Well she definitely deserves to be recognized for her epic contributions to our understanding of quorum based systems.

So now in an infinitely impossible to manipulate quorum of 8 nodes, you can be certain that they will do their work securely, or the quorum's work will be rejected.

And as far as transactions go, Evan said every transaction will now be instantX transactions, approved by one of the quorums.  Again, miners will have no say as to what is included in the blockchain.  If they include something that was not approved, it would be rejected.  Only their hash will be used to select the quorums.  I don't know which hash, it might be the next one, it might be a random one on the chain?? The latter might make sense as we would have to (at this time) have 400+ hashes to put each MN to work (or select nearest to farthest from a single hash?)

Thus, we can already compete quite well against big money transmitters such as Visa, MC, etc...  The capacity is limitless.

I expect such magnificent Tant-splanations listed in the References at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum_%28distributed_computing%29  very soon...

 Undisputed, top-shelf VPN provider has a nice message for you guys. This banner is a preview of the soon to be added banner to their front page.



But you can in the meantime, check what a nice endorsement they've done...

 Anyone out there need a completely anonymous, private and rock solid VPN provider? Boom! Pay with Dash.

Bump

Wow, 3411 Masternodes!  The numbers keep rising!  So awesome, the amount of support Dash gets
