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

[coins101]

Wanted to let everyone know that I've been rewriting/editing copy for a new website, and have made some progress on adapting a template. Still a bit to do but would welcome feedback so far. It's just a proposal but should hopefully be better than the current site.

Here's a screengrab of part of the front page...

I like it.  Nice, minimalistic, clean.  Huge improvement IMO.

This is very nice! I like it a lot.

Welcome to the first eCash payment network to ever exist

Think we could try to get a wikipedia page again? I think it's possible this time, being that Darkcoin is the first truely decentralized eCash system to ever exist. They said it wasn't notable before... now it is.

I don't have any idea how to read that, what is this implying? Thanks !

Guys, seriously, just came back from litecointalk where I'm participating in one or two discussions on the subject...

The merit is not it the technical achievement, it is wow many marketing wow Nascar car wow this and that.
LTC is crapping its pants so much right now, Lee proposed a merge with Doge (yet dodge had to fork! LMAO)

Obviously, Palmer is cracking up the proposal

Now, add intrinsic value to the "product", as is the case with DRK, and its a win win win situation! Crypto have become a playground.
Darksend is a frighteningly serious protocol with real life implications! Evan is taking care of that part, we should do ours!

I know its too soon, but what F1 racing team would you sponsor?  
Someone fire up a wiki and lets curate it through darkcoitalk!
Someone get hold of a stripper and give her a DRK headband or something!

Shit, I don't know, but I'm in!

Causally, it's implying nothing - but lots of people draw all sorts of squiggles on price charts and claim to be able to predict the future, much like astrology or reading the entrails of a sacrificial goat.

edit: I suspect what is going on right now is people doing as much as they can to acquire DRK as cheaply as possible before the next big rise. But the upward price pressure is building, they can't keep it down this low for very long.

Wow !! This poster image REALLY put me off... until I clicked on the link.

 This is the most AMAZING pool I've ever seen. Now if you'd only convince me to leave p2pool...

My sincere congratulations!

Let me just float this one in the air and see if it has some merit.

Imagine if Darkcoin could be used by governments for local, regional and eventually national voting in political elections.

Stick with me for a bit.

Voting costs a lot of money. There is a lot of administration.

Voting has to be fair, anonymous and foolproof.

Which bit of the above, so far, doesn't fit DarkSend?.

The hashing algo can provide a proof of voting. The administrators to an election can buy enough Darkcoins and sub-divided them into Duffs and issue them to registered voters. Registration includes setting up an online wallet, app., etc. for voters. There are some security issues that need to be fleshed out, but that's detail.

Over a specified period, voters can send their duffs to the candidate of their choice. Those candidates would have addresses that can be counted up in minutes not hours or days. The voting process is known only to the administrators and the voters - but crucially, the administrators don't know who the voters voted for, just that their Duffs were spent (they can even spend them on booze and not vote).

The process would be so cheap to run by comparison to existing elections, you could have regional votes every month on this or that issue.

And Darkcoin investors? Well, we would be laughing all the way to the DarkBank  

I think I'm going to put this one to a vote as a possible future roadmap suggestion, after we see if there are any flaws.

The only fundamental flaw I see is the futility of voting in the first place. If your vote was worth anything, you wouldn't be allowed one.

DS does fit the anonymity requirement nicely though.

Blue sky, I would take it 1 critical step further: each citizen is sent a tax bill, which they pay by sending however much they want up to the total required to wallets corresponding to healthcare, education, blowing up Muslims, sexier nurse uniforms, fixing the roads, whatever they actually want their tax money spent on. That would be a lot closer to the principle of democracy than simply electing some shitbag who ignores how you want your money spent and instead lines his/her own pockets with it.

"Government" then becomes (ideally) simply the transparent, accountable administration of funding the projects that the demos has specified and paid for.

Man... that is one of the most PROFOUND statements I've read in a while... let me just tweak it a little.


 If your vote was worth anything, it would be taxed.

Right now it's both worthless AND taxed.

I was able to take this seriously until I read Duffs, then I thought

Panic buying is as bad panic selling. Keep calm and watch the market carefully.
I'll buy in in a few days as well.

Can we take the non-development discussion to some other thread somewhere else? It's nice to see this thread active but how many more times are we going to quote "you bring the escorts, I'll bring the beer" jokes and images! This is one of the first places people hit to get an idea on DRK and that all this trade non-sense, dirty jokes/references, constant bickering between a few usual suspects should not be the first thing they see!

[WhatDisk]

The development could be better
What DRK future plans
or next plans
want to know~
Look perfect
Also a lot of people involved
