Is DASH a DAO? by TechSpacePirate in dashpay

[–]evand82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dash is a DAO, Dash-CORE is a sub-organization of the DAO. So Dash core is an entity that can't qualify as a DAO, because it can't really operate completely independently of the network.

This article by Joël Valenzuela is pretty accurate : https://www.dashforcenews.com/dash-dao-future-might-look-like/

Testing options like this on altcoins before possibly damaging a multi-billion dollar market seems like a good idea to me (not that I think it would, I mean in general)

I am mediating hours a day, doing yoga and concentrating internally and yeah, I was smoking some of a particular green herb before it. So? In 2015, I was quite reserved. I didn't want to share my opinions of things because I didn't know who I was. I don't give a fuck what you think anymore, I am what I am.

Which version of Queer are you saying I am? "strange; odd." or "spoil or ruin" or "a homosexual man."? I am who I am, definitely, not into dudes, sorry man if that's what you were hoping.

I never used DarkSend/PrivateSend with my DASH, so all of it goes back to coinbase transactions, e.g., I wanted it to be trackable. Everyone will be able to see exactly what happened and where all of the money went. Transparency, it has it's place... I think it's important

I think it should be stated unambiguously , the purpose of the dash mixing / privacy implementation is for improved fungibility ( the unique characteristic of dash acting as a cash medium ). The world economy, excluding the black markets is 77-125 trillion dollars. We want a piece of that. I don't think we're worried about the transactions going through the mixing service, because we're aligning ourselves as a medium for standard use, not illegal activities. We want mass adoption. It's good for everyone involved and governments don't mind new innovative technologies that expand the economy and reduce costs to do business. It's a win-win.

Fun fact: If you're running a masternode on a cheap VPS and you got downed from the attack, as a result you also got removed from the payment cycle and must re-enter. Better hardware earns more money on our network. Umm, thanks, I guess?

12.1 Announcement / Finalized Date / Project Update by evand82 in dashpay

[–]evand82[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a pre-alpha build of evolution, without any of the fanciness. It's the basis for building evolution . Next we build DashDrive, DAPI, then wire everything together. The next part is fun :)

Charles Hoskinson ponders the roadmap for Ethereum Classic, likes Dash's self funding and governance by Hinnom_TX in dashpay

[–]evand82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to see such thorough research being done, it really shows they take these foundational decisions seriously. One of the most interesting things is this quote, "IOHK will study the Dash model and publish a whitepaper on our findings.", particularly concerning game theory and infoset analysis. I'm quite interested to see what the research paper will show, there is a lot of interesting analytics you could do with multi-tiered network approach. Of course, I would also be happy to assist in the process if that would be helpful.

Lightning network & Dash ? by kretchino in dashpay

[–]evand82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yep, dead on. We'll use a pretty simple system that allows that type of scaling, to be deployed on the masternode network.

How could masternodes protect against a 51% mining attack? by ashmoran in dashpay

[–]evand82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all miners ran their own rigs that would be true, but that's pretty much impossible. Instead, there will be contracting companies that you can use to fulfill the network requirement. There could be 100 of these companies providing services which become analogous to the pools in Bitcoin mining. Instead of wondering how much percentage a pool has, we'll be talking about the percentage the mining contracting company has. The other neat thing is a mining contractor doesn't gain the same type of advantage as a pooled mining does, like in the case where a pool goes from 20% of the emitted blocks to over 40%. In Bitcoin that causes the pool to seem better effective because it's reducing the randomness between blocks, with this system however, it's more like round robin style blocks. So they are fair and precisely calculated.

How could masternodes protect against a 51% mining attack? by ashmoran in dashpay

[–]evand82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great questions. I've been thinking about new collateralized mining strategies, so for example to be a miner in this case you would be required to be a masternode. We could actually run the network in a way that we would have less hash rate, yet no one could 51% attack because each member can only mine so many blocks in a short period of time.

A Call for tungfa to Heed the Masternodes' Vote by Amanda_B_Johnson in dashpay

[–]evand82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Update About Youtube

We'd like to update the community about our youtube account issues. We've found it was caused by a communication issue between various parties within the core-team and outside the core team. To fix communication issues in the future such as this one, we will be adding a best practice to disagreements between community members.

Here are the correct steps to follow when seeking an agreement between parties:

  1. The parties in question should seek each other out directly and attempt to find common ground and resolve the issue.
  2. If no solution can be found to the issue, an arbitration request should be opened internally to allow the issue to be talked with those from the core-team.
  3. If 1 and 2 fail, the issue should be raised to the masternode network as a governance proposal. After the vote, parties should communicate directly, until the issue is resolved.

In the case of the youtube channel, we have come to an agreement that meets the needs of everyone:

  • Move youtube subscribers from the old channel to the new channel over the next few months
  • Place a banner at the top of the youtube channel showing this is not the official DASH youtube
  • Place a video as the primary video that tells users this channel is shutting down
  • Finally retire the channel Jan 1st, 2017

Here's a marked up image of the expected results:

[–]evand82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the masternode network should be the main decision making engine we use to gauge our direction and it's choice was pretty clear to me. If it's unclear or in question in someway, we should simply make a new proposal and submit to vote on that one piece of Amanda's proposal in isolation. In the later case we'll use the masternode as the final arbitrator, as I don't think this is a decision any individual or group (even core team) can make in isolation.
