    Dash Town Hall is nearly ready to launch

    My main issue with dashcentral is that it is not organized. The comment section turns into a wall of text that has a tendency to split into multiple subjects with every reply. I think some kind of tagging system could help, so that you could see "top concerns" and "top benefits" that could be...

    Regarding the 5 Dash proposal fee

    One of the main issues to me is that the high fee incentivizes fewer, larger proposals. Back during the peak of the bull run in 2017/2018 I believe we had some months where there were over 40-50 active proposals up for voting at any given time. Asking MNOs to evaluate 50+, 100+ proposals per...

    Regarding the 5 Dash proposal fee

    One possibility I would suggest is to leave the fee at 5 Dash, but the DAO should return the 5 dash if the Yes votes > No votes. That way truly bad proposals / spam are still disincentivized, but decent proposals that attracted support but didn't attain enough of a supermajority, won't get...

    Privacy features implemented as of now

    The denominations are 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001. The v13 release introduced the 0.001 denomination - the others were already existing. And yes since each wallet client needs to send its part of the mixing transaction to the masternode, the masternode facilitating the mixing request would be...

    Looks like MasterNodes and Miners are taking a stand...

    I think there's something wonky though always with the last data point on that chart, it's like the data points on the 1-hour before that are smoothed over with larger samples but the last one is always spiking up or down every time you refresh.

    I think it's random variation due to the low sample size of the 1-hour time window. +/- 30% swings are normal when there are only 24 blocks to look at. Here it is 2 hours later

    PrivateSend variations/ideas

    The one idea I have for privatesend is to randomize the number of rounds (with a minimum) Knowing that all the privatesend inputs in a transaction have been mixed the same number of rounds is an unnecessary piece of information that people analyzing the blockchain don't need to have at their...

    Collateralized mining, revisited...

    I do think the incentive to buy 1000 dash because of the masternode ROI is an illusion. Why buy a mn for 6% when the market cap of dash would need to go up by more than 6% in the same time period in order to come out ahead (if it doesn't then your collateral will be worth less than it was when...

    Collateralized mining, revisited...

    I'm challenging the idea that a 12% "ROI" or a 50% or 5000% ROI would be any better than our current 6%. It doesn't help to be rewarded with more coins if the coins are going to be worth less. In my opinion the cumulative value of the network (the market cap) is independent of the block reward...

    51% Wallet Claims

    InstantSend provides the equivalent security of 24 normal confirmations, but even having 24 confirmations does not protect against 51% PoW attacks ( a 51% attacker could start mining 100 blocks ago, and when they finally catch up on the proof of work then the whole original chain after that...

    Collateralized mining, revisited...

    What people need to realize about this is that if the "ROI" was 30% or 200% or 900% it doesn't actually make a difference. It's paid for with inflation.

    51% Wallet Claims

    LLMQs are not until 0.14 and I believe they are a prerequisite for ChainLocks.

    Smart Reach Partnership Proposal - Pre proposal

    Oh that is way smaller than I thought you were going to ask, which changes my thought on whether this might be possible. Sounds more similar to the sponsorship we did a while ago with the Daily Decrypt. Definitely consider DashBoost as I would not recommend risking the 5 dash fee for a 10-15...

    Toljaso...

    So basically Dash is doing a better job at increasing its exposure in Venezuela, than Bitcoin or other cryptos. And dash can acquire new users and can even spread through people who do not even necessarily have to be cryptocurrency experts. Is this supposed to be bad news?

    Intuition, Opinions, Reasonable Assumption Vs Speculation?

    I would be alarmed too if the way you describe it is what is actually happening, but that just isn't the case. People are allowed to be critical of Dash, the core team or other proposal owners all the time. The times that we've actually needed to remove content are few and far between and are...
