Crypto never developed the primary markets it needs to compete with fiat as a unit of account, not even BTC. For crypto users, Dash users, to be able to get the goods and services they want, they have to make some concessions where crypto meets fiat. No way around it.
Well, it would help you get approval for a proposal if you could provide a more updated list, Tungfa left Hong Kong when the CCP took it over, Dash has nobody in the region to do anything about this.
That is not an option, unfortunately, the Forum runs on a Xenforo subscription and we are adding as few plugins as possible so we don't have a major Forum breakdown like we saw with the last major Xenforo update.
Do arguments here bother you? Which ones? Dash is a DAO and the process is messy. 1st and longest running DAO and still arguing over how to make the ecosystem work better. Ain't it grand?
As far as a I know, camo never managed to recover his address paths, I tried to find him someone to help crack the wallet, but I don't think he ever got any of his Dash back.
EU is doing this because their economies are in shambles and there are concerns over capital flight, like we saw with China, etc. Their economies are going to collapse with or without these measures and the populations will look for alternatives to survive. Crypto will be just fine.
For me, the biggest issue with a merger is the technical debt, I don't think with Platform heading for Mainnet (pray) that there is an appetite in the Dash community for that. There are quite a few MNOs in the Dash community that are hardcappers, and refactoring supply is a non-starter for...
Dash could use Komodo's MM2 marketmaker protocol like Firo DEX does and use the same ledger as them without nearly as much work and with extra liquidity provided by KMD & FIRO as well.
To clarify, I am not against some sort of partnership with PIVX, I just don't think merging the blockchains is the way to go. Now that I can get PIVX on KMD wallet, I am exploring adding some to my portfolio.
I think the Dash/BTC price only affects Dash/USD price when there is a major dump in BTC, the play with most of the alt sector now is USDT or other stables or fiat. Only bots trade Dash against BTC, all the retail uses stables or fiat to buy, sell, trade Dash.
Some Dash community members came to PIVX, that does not mean Dash came to PIVX. It is their prerogative to pursue what they want to see. I don't know what the motivation to approach PIVX was by this team, perhaps they have a stake in PIVX, I have a stake in SYS and approached this team to talk...
What does PIVX have to offer Dash? If Dash wanted to add ZK, it doesn't need PIVX to do so, I am quite happy with CoinJoin. And the technical debt of a merger is not something I would personally support as DCG heads into the homestretch with Platform. It's simply a non-starter for me. And...
