@qwizzie No, I'm not convinced that switching to pure proof-of-stake is necessarily the better option. If sufficient research and debate leads to the conclusion that Dash's current consensus mechanism is more secure than pure PoS, perhaps the PIVX people would be willing to take that as part of...
Responding to @qwizzie's points:
Re: consensus mechanism
Labelling the two systems as proof-of-stake versus proof-of-work and leaving it at that is neglecting some major points of similarity from which to start.
First is that both systems employ staked masternodes to perform crucial network...
Thank you for these specific and detailed responses. It's possible that such arrangements may be useful to us one day -- particularly of we move forward with the notion that there are such things as "official" and "unofficial" Dash accounts. Political, security, and/or trading/price-related...
As usual, Demo, specific, simple, and actionable suggestions on your part would be preferred to rants.
Can you think of any way that the network as a whole could actually achieve the examples you outlined (i.e. take practical ownership of dash.org and @dashpay Twitter?) Could there be a...
Thank you, everyone, for your input so far. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and details.
With potentially multiple large shifts coming down the pipeline for Dash, maybe this online account situation is a wait-and-see scenario? Will keep pondering and post again if/when relevant. Thanks again.
Current Situation
The Dash network started out with just one DFO: Dash Core Group (or the "Dash Foundation" at the time). Like studs, this group opened a series of online accounts which still serve as the primary Dash-representing online profiles to this day: dash.org (including email domains)...
Whether or not I personally am waiting for Evo is not the point. The point is that, judging by the treasury payments each month, the majority of voting MNOs are waiting for Evo as evidenced by their continued funding of DCG to deliver such.
This affects everyone else in the network. It dilutes...
Once the Dash community stops clinging to a Big Fat Promise made in 2015 -- whether it's because that promise actually gets fulfilled somehow, or because everyone decides to finally let it go and move on -- maybe I could make videos again.
But until the dark shadow of The Promise ceases to loom...

Hi, @Gass, thanks for your replies on DashCentral.
I want to followup with the functionality I was talking about, wherein a person who does not yet have an account with TipMeDash can still receive a message on social media informing them they've received a tip, and then they can click a link in...
I advise sharing the legal paperwork required to be brought on officially as a Trust protector prior to the election.
I know that in past years, two or three elected individuals (hey, including myself) decided to drop out after seeing this paperwork. Time and effort then had to be spent on...
