Indeed, any miners who weren't happy with the coin supply or block reward or anything else, they got out three years ago!  And a good job too because the miners Dash has now are the best miners in Crypto.  Don't you know that when Dash rolled out the recent hardfork in February, 100% of the miners updated to the new version within something like 24 hours!  Show us any other coin that can do that!

So I'd like to propose a toast to Dash's miners.  The best, the most efficient, the most dedicated and the most appreciated miners in Cryptospace!

100 hours 

Thanks for correcting me.  Still bloody good!

Instamined or Ninja Mined and even Premined...is a must.

Now Is Evan a wealthy man now?...damn straight.  I'd rather be a lined with a successful developer and project leader.

I obviously don't have a clue what I'm talking about. ....

I think you need to find another job that doesn't involve trolling, DASH has the best miners in crypto...PERIOD!

Again...for those that obviously still don't get it. 

The instamine was a great tool to fund development, of course unless your a commie loving socialist, then sorry, this isn't your coin.

Looking at the long queue of 40K unconfirmed transactions currently affecting Bitcoin, https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions how can Dash prepare for a sudden influx of transactions in the size of the Bitcoin network?

I am of course aware of our block time of 2.5 minutes, and the decision to increase the block size to 2MB should this be necessary. This would provide almost a 8x increase of the capacity compared to the Bitcoin network and that is great. But then what? I admit to not be fully up to speed with the coming features of evolution, but are there measures to increase the transaction capacity by utilizing the masternode tier in some fashion?

If most transactions were an InstantSend transaction, this would not increase the transaction throughput per say, but it would get the funds around faster as the transaction would be confirmed and the receiver would at least have the perception that the network is working efficiently. Besides InstantSend, are there other blockchain implementations being addressed to help make Dash a true global digital cash with a capacity that can rival VISA/Mastercard/Paypal?

I didn't have access to my account from my phone earlier, and wanted to answer / speculate on your questions here when I read your post

So, first, yes, as of right now, we have plans that put us at 8X the capacity of Bitcoin (thought those 2mb blocks won't be implemented until there is need)  So that's all traditional / normal / current technology that should cover us for the next few years, but then what?  Well, if segwit can be implemented while preserving account information for people (we could do a hybrid with some info on blockchain and other info in the Dash Drive?) there is also blockchain pruning if that solution ever pans out, and last, hopefully never ever, and IMO least, is off chain transactions.  Undoubtedly there will be other ideas that come up.  So far no solution is without a cost.  In the end, the technology will simply have to keep up.  Bandwidth and storage might simply have to be expanded.

You know with Masternodes, we can instantly process an unlimited number of transactions per second using IS technology.  I guess it's the miners that have to write things into the blockchain where the bottle neck happens.  If that's the case, and if we switch to making every transaction an IS transaction, then we could have miners create blocks once an hour, and make those blocks as big as necessary.  The miners would download as much as they can in that time, commit the transactions to the block, and what isn't committed goes in the next block an hour later.

I really don't know if that helps, as it's a simplification of what I understand is the problem from others who have posted??  But certainly there is a lot of room for creativity, and if we have 8X the block transactions of Bitcoin in the next 4 or so years, and my estimate of time needed to solve this problem is good, we'll be in excellent condition!

The trolling is almost making this thread unreadable at times. Reminds me a bit of how in the Matrix movies, agent Smith cloned himself all over the world of the matrix and turned it into a world raining and full of only him.  Trolls have done that here. Maybe I'll jump over to the Dash forums, bitcointalk seems to be going downhill anyway, even in the bitcoin sections.

You sure are right, afbitcoins; but having many thriving channels of communication will help us when the steady trickle of safe-haven-from-collapsing-fiat folks becomes a steady flow; and that time is near.

[Can we invent a crypto-miner powered by troll twaddle? We could donate the proceeds to charity! Imagine all those trolls on their little twaddle-powered 'hamster wheels,' keeping the lights and stove going at soup kitchens all over the world. Wa ha ha -- bless the trolls!]

Thank you for a great reply Tante, I was starting to think that my post wold get lost in a sea of troll-postings. 

Interesting approach of letting the masternodes process the transactions, but then the miners would have to play catch up to the blockchain later. We would have a constant backlog of transactions, but at least the network would tug along and it wouldn't be stopping merchants and individuals from making transactions. Come to think of it, that's what all banks do as well: make transactions during the day and crunch the numbers during night.

Assuming that each InstantSend transaction takes some 1-3 seconds to lock in, for 6 (?) randomly selected masternodes to accomplish, the network as a whole could theoretically process 4500 masternodes / 6 (?) = 750 transactions every 3 seconds? or conservatively speaking about 250 tx per second?

Maybe I have made an incorrect assumption how many masternodes are queried for the InstantSend transaction, but 250 TX/sec seems pretty good for the moment.

I guess if the blockchain verifying became a problem we would have to look into quicker blocks or larger blocks to deal with the ever growing backlog.

No, that is why she became a contractor.  Comunity wanted and voted for that!

No, that is why she became a contractor.  Comunity wanted and voted for that!

And the investors appreciate being treated nicely. She called some folks with masternodes half-jokingly her "employers" at Anarchapulco and has proven to be the perfect spokeperson. You may dismiss that, but people actually like that.
The same folks got pissed off by that  arrogant Blockstream-Johnny by the way.

Meanwhile I took some profits but now I think about buying back Dash, because my super-fancy fairly distributed super liquid DinoCoins are stuck on Polo now thanks to the fee.

PS:
@Icebreaker: I really enjoy your original trolling, but self-copy-pasting yourself is boring.

Dash De-anonymization Contest

Icebreaker and other trolleros: I have donated $1 to Monero's development team. I sent 0.25 Dash (TX ID: 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba-000) to shapeshift.io, which converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to the official Monero donation address listed at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/.

I challenge you to de-anonymize this transaction. To make it just a little easier, I only used four rounds of Darksend, so it's exponentially less private than it would be with the maximum eight rounds.

Please tell me what address this transaction originated from.

Cheers!

Icebreaker, could you ask the Monero dev team to refund my 0.25 DASH that I donated last year? One year later, and that $1 donation is now worth $10.96, and I'd really like it back.

Cheers!

Thanks for the show Tao, let's see if the disgruntled Bitcoiners take a look on the other side of the fence, and step over to the Dashy side of the crypto sphere.

I'm literally crying because I sold my Dash too soon

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Everybody should exercise caution when doing withdrawals from Poloniex. Be sure you have email verification turned on, and that you carefully review the withdrawal address in the email before you confirm it. Saturday night I logged into Poloniex using my Galaxy S7 phone and copied/pasted my withdrawal address from my withdrawal history. Everything worked perfectly. About 45 minutes later, I went to withdraw again, and used the same procedure (copy/paste my address from the withdrawal history section). This time I didn't read the withdrawal confirmation email very carefully, and just clicked the link to authorize the withdrawal. The following morning I did another withdrawal from my phone, again copy/pasting the withdrawal address.

Well, the first and third withdrawals went fine. But the second withdrawal was sent to the wrong address: XiYy9fpSTwd35jsri6K2UetYtbJdt1APfh (not the "d8k" address I had pasted into the withdrawal box). When I created a ticket with Poloniex, I received an email back saying that I probably was infected with malware and there's nothing they can do. I emailed them back and requested an investigation, but haven't heard back yet.

Consider the following:

a) Malwarebytes and Norton both say my phone is clean, so if I do have malware on my phone it is evading detection.

b) I've done a number of withdrawals on my phone, including one before and one after this, and no other withdrawals have been tampered with. Do I have some form of malware that only works part of the time? Also, the withdrawals before and after were both twice the size of my "hacked" withdrawal.

These facts make me and some others in slack believe that it may have been an inside job by somebody who works for Poloniex. I'm not saying that Poloniex is doing anything wrong, but there may be a bad employee who is stealing from customers. I've asked Poloniex to do an actual investigation instead of just saying "we're sorry you were hacked" but so far I have not received a reply.

tl;dr BE VERY CAREFUL WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM POLONIEX.

You will get an email confirmation like the one below. I was stupid and didn't double check the address. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE ADDRESS.

A request to withdraw 116.31000000 DASH from your Poloniex account to address XiYy9fpSTwd35jsri6K2UetYtbJdt1APfh was just made.

sorry to hear (assuming you didn't fuck up yourself).

and it would NOT SURPRISE ME to see polo being scammy fucks here for this stuff.  ie. your stuff is clean but they are the culprits.  it is a cartel exch that do as they please with devs, coins and btc.  so with vol they get away with ANYTHING.  dirty fucks.

come use 1ex.trade and try a legit exchange with TOP OF THE FUCKING LINE SECURITY.   you should see nicer vol there by summer time.
