Have you guys been following all the drama in r/bitcoin from Peter Todd double spending Coinbase to show how zero conf are really insecure. It is a must read for anyone interested in InstantX and how important this Dash feature really is. Check it out here: https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/40ejy8/peter_todd_with_my_doublespendpy_tool_with/cytlhh0There is an interesting conversation with Charlie Lee, as Peter seems to have used the most basic double spending technique against them and kind of exposed coblee. Wow. I wasn't aware of this. Edit. LoL !! Instead of being a PITA, why don't you work with companies to help them accept 0-conf reliable, or as reliably as possible?

It's a fair assessment based on doing an on-the-fly-mix and send. Dash mixing does work, it's just hit and miss and can take a few hours depending on the amount and rounds you use. Having said that, a couple of times I've mixed 200 dash over in under 2 hours. This isn't the norm though in my experience... The length of time isn't a problem in many respects as long as you're not in a hurry to send privatized funds. Walter Also, Dash requires more funds. I mean you have to break it down into denominations, and he was using so little Dash. On the other hand, all this will change with Evolution. Still, yes, if you want to mix like that, and don't care about what the coin offers in stability and auditability - and you're fine with taking a chance buying then selling a coin, sure, monero is the way to go, IMO. I wouldn't want to keep my funds in monero. I don't trust it and think that at the first sign of questionable status of how many coins are "out there" people are going to jump off that boat. But then again, we all live in a fiat world, don't we?

LOL, maybe so, actually quite so (he seems an egomaniac) but for once, I send my thanks Thanks Peter Todd, you're a real piece of work, LOL.

thanks for fixing. monitoring 'dashd' also run well.
Glad to hear it. I added a probability calculation to the output. (Something I'd built for the next version of dashman, which is on hold right now due to the instantx soda machine and another official dev project. Sorry folks! But I promise the wait will be worth it!) It uses the math I outlined here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12742065#msg12742065But, it estimates the blocks since paid using the last-paid timestamp, so it's not completely accurate. $ python masternode_check.py node-005 ONLINE - in masternode list - rank: 338/3472 (in selection queue) probability: 58.17% node-004 ONLINE - in masternode list - rank: 2061/3472 node-002 ONLINE - in masternode list - rank: 2498/3472 node-003 ONLINE - in masternode list - rank: 3091/3472 node-001 ONLINE - in masternode list - rank: 3218/3472
to pull the changes in, do the same: cd masternode_conf_check git stash git pull git stash pop python masternode_check.py
for those wanting to play with it: git clone https://github.com/moocowmoo/masternode_conf_check.git cd masternode_conf_check # nano masternode_check.py # edit the top two lines to match your config python masternode_check.py

OK Dashers, your old Tante needs help. I need to be taught about the tip bot. Mr. TheDashGuy sent me a tip, and I neither know where it goes after accepting nor how to send someone else tips, LOL. I suppose it's time to learn?!?!?! So someone have a heart and explain it to the old, LOL. Thanks! P.S. I'm going to bed now, but I will start from here to see if anyone answered tomorrow Thanks so much!

I'm not quite sure what the profit margins are on snacks but if 1 in 5 are double spent then that's 20% turnover gone. I can see many teenagers taking advantage of this for a quick free snack, especially on drunken nights out.

I would have thought thats curtains for 0-conf with or without RBF now that that cat's out of the bag. What about Bitpay ? Mass marketers of 0-conf ? Does their stock value not plummet at this news ?

Perfect timing for DASH with Miami and Evolution around the corner... Is Peter Todd secretly on our marketing team :-)

You could be forgiven for thinking so but no. He deletes Tante's posts on Reddit whenever she tries to contribute to his thread. Peter Todd famously referred to Dash as "snake oil" LoL. But he subsequently lost that argument as is now being borne out be recent events on many fronts - monetary fidelity, governance, commercial compatibility and accessibility.

But he subsequently lost that argument as is now being borne out be recent events on many fronts - monetary fidelity, governance, commercial compatibility and accessibility. I didn't know he deleted Tente's Reddit posts... It sounds like his head is all over the place. He realises Bitcoin has many issues, which he constantly highlights, which many see as a bitcoin developer attacking his own creation but he can't bring himself to see the light because he is too far down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, so he fights DASH instead. It's funny how you become blind to the obvious when you're so close to the action. That's why I always try to make a point of looking at all other crypto projects while also looking at the wider global picture so I don't become blinded myself... keeping an open mind.
