    I think Dash needs some changes

    Yes, it happened. A lot has changed in some ways (and not a lot in others). As for this specific change, who knows if it's for better or worse, it's subjective. But regardless, I just wanted to say welcome back, if this is indeed you.

    Should a Dash-PIVX merger be explored?

    Yes. It would be a big lift for sure, but if we could pull it off it could make for a combined project that's bigger and better than the two existing separate projects. The conversations I've had with you and with the PIVX guys so far have been fruitful.

    Dash stable coin - DUSD concept

    Thanks for writing this up. It's a good idea to consider. I see two viable paths forward for Dash: 1. Make the DASH unit itself more stable (moderate appreciation). 2. Make the DASH unit more volatile (high appreciation + high depreciation) by moving stability to the DUSD unit. Personally...

    Utah Dash Conference 2023

    The economic changes I introduced in the retreat are, in part, to facilitate more resources dedicated to communication, marketing, business development, conferences, etc. Experts don't work for free. On the contrary, they demand high pay. Where is this pay going to come from? That's a real...

    Getting xpub adress from Dash Core Wallet

    DashCore doesn't (or at least didn't back in 2017) typically use xPubs. It's a so-called "just a bunch of (unrelated) keys" (JABOK) wallet. All the keys (both public and private) are accessible in your wallet.dat backup and can be exported using DashCore. Do you have your wallet.dat file?

    Has everyone forgotten why Dash has mining?

    I think you meant “nuanced”, not “nuisance”. But yes, our views are nuanced. Neither my statement nor @AgnewPickens‘ implies getting rid of mining completely right away. We’re all proposing to reduce it, like @xkcd said. You claim that infinite resources would be required to attack/break...

    Has everyone forgotten why Dash has mining?

    I’m more efficient using a vocal medium than text. I don’t have time to debate back and forth over text. My guess is you’re focused on a narrow, theoretical, technical resistance to state level attacks, and are not considering social attacks. Mining does not make a project resistant to state...

    Can I help with anything?

    I meant that in the context of full time work and focus, and just as a general observation, not as a moral imperative. Don’t read too much into it.

    Has everyone forgotten why Dash has mining?

    Come on Incubator Weekly. I’d be happy to give you a platform and have a friendly debate on this issue.

    Can I help with anything?

    @kot, has anyone mentioned anything that sparks interest? If not, do you see anything from your perspective that you’d like to help with? Usually people are most effective doing things they’re passionate or at least interested in. What’s “needed” is very subjective.

    I think Dash needs some changes

    Yep. @amanda_b_johnson never left as far as I know. And she might be more active than ever right now.

    Miner reallocation2 / DAO refill

    No, you don't. You choose to. Big difference. No, you couldn't have. The fact that your proposal is failing so hard now should make that clear. I support the idea you're proposing, I always have, that's why I fought Ryan's proposal which was a weaker version. But I don't support you...

    Miner reallocation2 / DAO refill

    I also have a wife, kids, business, and all of that. If you don't want to make it work, then does it really mean that much to you?
