New Preview: (and yes, the cans are very small, looking like cigarette butts from distance...) i will render a picture with bigger cans, we will see... I think the cans need to go. It gets the point across with out them and this really is a cool idea. I do think future budgeting shouldn't include marketing though. This is a slippery slope. Maybe when the Market cap is X size we no longer use funds for this type of activity. On the flip side, if we try to make marketing donations based, it will probably fail. I know from first hand experience with bitcoin and a failed billboard project. Just some random thoughts :p That's a different point of view. For me, marketing is #2 behind core development in importance, and that's only now. In the future, it could very well become #1, with development slowing down and eventually becoming maintenance. In fact, I hate to see any funds go unused in the available budget, but we do lose many coins each month due to no proposals. Of course, someone has to have a great idea to propose, and we've had many, so I'm not really complaining, other than I wish those lost coins could be tapped in the future, but alas... A company has basic expenses, and marketing is one of the biggest so I can't see why it shouldn't be part of the budget system. Development (or product building or the physical work required to ship and sell products), Marketing, Financial management, HR and Legal. Am I missing something? But that's basically the things a company must pay for, no matter their trade. Thus it should all be on the table for budget distribution Don't disagree at all but eventually this type of funding from coin generation based on proposals keeps things centralized and starts to limit competition. For instance if we are proposing this POS project that is funded from "free" money, why would another entity spend their own time and funds to develop something similar at an already financial disadvantage. I think this is all great now and is perfect for moving forward but at some point proposes should only be for core based activities. I propose that happens when Dash reaches some marketcap milestone. Hopefully development never slows down as Dash is innovative and we don't want that to stop.

I know from first hand experience with bitcoin and a failed billboard project. Just some random thoughts :p This isn't just a marketing piece. We are designing the software for point of sale. It will enable any new device to easily adapt the github packages. Moocowmoo has done an awesome job with coding all of this. Point of sale is what sets Dash apart form the Bitclones....This is what we need! Key features added so far:- Ability to refund over/under payments automatically(no return address needed)
- Detect InstantX payments
- Ability to accept InstantX payments and reject standard payments.
- BIP chain address control
- Changing address and QR code for each transaction.
- Activate relay or output for vending type device/gas pump/etc.
We added another video to www.dashndrink.com showing relays and the new screen. Good stuff. Again, i'm not talking today or tomorrow, but down the road, this these types of projects should be driven by 3rd parties to allow competition and healthily growth. Today it doesn't matter as Dash is rather small in the grand scope of things.

Don't know the Mini but concur other coins lock onto crabby slow nodes but I never find that with Dash, port mapping sounds interesting, is this something a masternode could have, we can be even quicker, more records broken ? ( and we ain't talking vinyl either)

Dash is 27.3 times faster with syncing and updating than Bitcoin and 93.7 times faster than Monero. Bitcoin (v0.11.0) has a Tao ratio 11.2% faster than bitcoin (v0.10.0) release. Dash (v.0.12.0.49) = Tao sync ratio = 0.15 seconds / hour of update || Dash (v.0.11.2.23) = Tao sync ratio = 0.24 seconds / hour of update. V12 versus V11 speedup = +36.5% Bitcoin (v.0.11.0) = Tao sync ratio = 4.14 seconds / hour of update || Monero (v.0.41.1) = Tao sync ratio = 14.2 seconds / hour of update

( and we ain't talking vinyl either) port mapping - I think they are referring to port forwarding(like allowing port 9999 in to a port on a local machine). Same as what is required for a masternode. If you do that with a bitcoin node(port 8333) you can get more connections than just 8. Without forwarding you are only downloading (not uploading). The mini sounds like it is just a usb drive wallet and comes preloaded the 60GB blockchain on it so you don't download it. Now two solutions - wait 5 days to download or 5 days to ship the blockchain on USB.

A little birdie sent me a peek at the LCD for the soda pop machine. Just don't look too close (by clicking on the picture and zooming in) if you're sensitive about your "other" coin LOL

( and we ain't talking vinyl either) I just thought if they were talking about some new technology that made it faster, and if we didn't have that yet... you know, we could look into it? LOL, Solarminer, what a choice, eh?

Out of dash for now. I'll get back in on a dip. With all the action lately there has been a good amount of trading and good profits.

Dash Charts on Mobile Device ?!http://bravenewcoin.com/index2.php/appview/coin/dashApps with Dash Charts are hard to get by these days it seems i still have the BraveNewCoin App on iPhone, but they took it off the iTunes store as they are reworking their webpage and such. This above still works and might be the easiest opinion for now. i am in touch with them direct, they will keep me posted when the new page is up and running)

I really like this new design with pop cans in more detail. IMO, it still looks a bit crowded. I think if you just spread it out a bit more, it would look fantastic. Something like this: Dash n' Drink
Your image here
with InstantX So everything stands out to the viewer. After that, I think we have a winner...great job!

port mapping - I think they are referring to port forwarding(like allowing port 9999 in to a port on a local machine). Same as what is required for a masternode. If you do that with a bitcoin node(port 8333) you can get more connections than just 8. Without forwarding you are only downloading (not uploading). Aha, think I get it now, so basically most full client coin wallets are stuck behind router firewalls and the port forwarding limits the packet information and restricts seeding, also server providers are known for capping bandwidth particularly at peak periods and when torrent downloads are suspected they also kick in and combined this explains why I only had 1 dweeb like peer for litecoin. Not a problem for the average masternode then is it, makes for a good Tao sync ratio P.S. absolutely loving your work on the drinks machine with Moocowmoo, btw,

Thanks. We may be upgrading to an ODROID-XU4 because the pi is taking an hour to sync up on bootup. Also an Easter egg might just make it in if time permits.

graphic without the cans: What if you made the Dash logo filled with Pop cans? Dash n' Drink
Dash logo filled with cans
with InstantX That may look a lot cleaner, and still keep the pop cans.

i think we don't need the top dash.org
The problem with www.dash.org on the bottom - when somebody stands near the machine (and I hope somebody will often stand near it) - it will shield " www.dash.org" Imagine people want to make picture next to the machine and publish it in their Instagram. With " www.dash.org" on top - we'll have much more promo coverage (changes to be visible)... Have a look here - it's the same idea:
