One of the biggest problems with the Dash governance system, in my opinion, is that there is a tendency to be blinded by what we wish as opposed to what is actually real. There is a big difference between the two. When MNO's vote in projects that offer something that MNOs want they have a...

I do not understand why the CEO of Paypal has not integrated Dash into its service. To me it seems a no brainer. Paypal is focused on online payments and also wants to get more involved with crypto. Yet the cryptocurrencies they have signed are Bitcoin, Lightcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash...

I would like to clarify something. I am quoting what is written on the IRS website. It is not my opinion. @Nyk I will copy and paste, exactly what is written on the IRS website regarding taxes and cryptocurrency. All of the text below is taken from the link I provided on the IRS website. The...

I gave the link to the IRS site in my previous message where it states exactly what I wrote. Below is the IRS link again: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/frequently-asked-questions-on-virtual-currency-transactions

Regarding the unbanked and the USA this is something I definitely agree with. Dash would be useful in that circumstance. Six months ago I had thought of a novel marketing strategy for targeting these people that would at the same time raise good PR for Dash. However, I don't have enough...

The US tax laws are now clearly laid on on the IRS website. You can review them on the link below. IRS state that cryptocurrency is dealt with as property and that the gain or loss must be accounted for as a capital gain on sale of the coin. Refer to Q4 on the link below. IRS website...

When could Dash be used as a form of payment in the US? Where Dash could be used as a form of payment is for specialised goods and services which require the blockchain aspects of DASH as well as the payment e.g. with Alt36 and cannabis, or for document registrations etc. These could be...

My point is that using Dash as a form of payment for general (no specialized goods) in the USA, where cryptocurrency is dealt with as property is a non starter, that is, if people spending DASH actually wish to stay within the IRS US Tax law. Under the current US law cryptocurrency is treated...

What I care about most Darren, is that the DASH project remains a decentralized project. To protect you, me and all humanity in the future. That is what I care about. I don't care about respect from you or anyone else. You have not answered the question I asked. So I am going to repeat...

@DarrenT, I'm going to focus on one specific topic at a time because you've avoided the most important point I raised in my forum post. I will address all your points mentioned once you address this point I am making here. That is that the DIF have gone against a democratic decision polling vote...

Hello Mark, my sincere apologies, I was going off memory. I have deleted my comments with respect to your involvement with the DIF and put a full apology in bold at the top of my article. In addition I have changed my vote from NO to YES on your proposal. Thanks for raising this to my...

09: Decentralized Decision Making: Proactively Building and Protecting Dash Decentralization "“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.” Albert Einstein 14/02/2021 Please note I have edited this...

Thanks to @forro for inviting me to speak on this topic. This is the first time in months I've got some time to contribute. The concept of financially incentivizing MNO to vote so that they can weed out projects, on the surface appears as though it would work by aligning a financial incentive...

What you have written is not strictly accurate. Both Dash and Bitcoin are psydo-anonomous coins by default and therefore offer privacy by default . Dash's PrivateSend feature only offers optional enhanced privacy. The keyword being "enhanced". The mistake the regulators are making with...

How we can use delistings as an opportunity for great PR for DASH. We could actually turn the situation of Dash being delisted to our advantage. Dash could become a industry leader in Privacy in crypto and be a consulting body for the regulators, authorities and exchanges and provide free...
