I'm not the one who is delusional. The DAO elected three community members to the trust who's goal is to dismantle DCG (the main asset of the trust!). The DAO approved a developer slush fund that will undermine DCG's control of core dev. IMHO the project is dying, and there is no one to blame...

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. -- George S. Patton It's possible for a project like this to run out of "laters." What would you like? I could make YouTube videos with 300 views like Joel. I could plaster the Internet with childish memes like Mark Mason. Or maybe...

I personally watched the network become inoperable and chainlocks repeatedly fail during the original monster spam attack. Yes, the engineers have implemented an optimization that makes IS locking more efficient, and that is a good thing, but IMHO this will not alter how the network behaves...

The software is not smart enough at this time to stop attempting to lock transactions when there are too many per second. The result is that the network stops generating chainlocks.

When RT implemented auto IS I considered it a brilliant mistake. Of course it makes sense from a UX standpoint and IS is better than no IS so why not turn it on all the time? The reason it was brilliant is because it allowed the engineers to see how LLMQs behave under heavy load and this led to...

Here is how I see things: InstantSend: Can't scale. Dead end. CoinJoin: Seven years ago this seemed like a good idea. So there you have it. Dash's two foundational innovations need to be thrown away at some point. I didn't lose any sleep over this before because I stupidly thought that the...

We face a host of problems. The MN network will not be able to process Evo requests AND simultaneously IS lock every transaction AND simultaneously mix everyone's coins sixteen rounds. Some hard choices have to be made. And now we have an OG faction hell-bent on challenging DCG's leadership at...

I didn't say you will be able to determine who is paying whom. I said you will [AFAIK] be able to determine who is connected to whom.

From what I understand, you won't be able to pay anyone via their Dash handle until you "friend" them. If this is true, I consider it a design flaw. Also, users' contact lists will be discoverable by examination of the blockchain, so that is another design flaw and IMHO a show-stopper. I would...

Andy Freer publicly stated on DashCentral that his goal is to dismantle DCG. See https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/trust-protector-2021-elections-a-public-call-for-andy-freer-to-withdraw-his-candidacy.51477/ Andy originally said he was coming back to the project to build on top of Dash core...

After the fork I will sell my Dash for moar Dash Lite (LASH?)

Both InstantSend and PrivateSend (CoinJoin) are dead ends. The only current feature of Dash that has a future is chainlocks. This is why a fork of DASH that does away with the DAO is necessary. The DAO is simply too collectively stupid to understand our situation.

Dash Podcast 172 With Dash Core Developer Pasta on Version 0.17 Release / 306 views / Streamed live on May 21, 2021 My advice is to watch it at 1.75X speed, muted with subtitles on.

You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. -- Ayn Rand

Pissy? I am having the time of my life! BTW, I was simply quoting what pasta said in his interview with TheDesertLoser.

You're exhibiting what's called "normalcy bias." see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias I was willing to take a chance on Dash because of RT's leadership. RT is not just brilliant, he's disciplined and honest -- a good person. If Andy Freer and his Trojan horse Incubator take control...

My point is that CoinJoin is a dead end. It's a dodo bird. The CoinJoin tab on Dash QT should include a warning that mixing your coins could lead to them being frozen or rejected by institutions. Asset appreciation is about excitement. No one is excited about what Dash is working on except for...

IS can only process eighteen TPS, and this the "enhanced InstantSend" we're talking about. Until IS is upgraded or deprecated we can't scale.

Some foundational assumptions we've inherited from Evan have turned out to be false. Forking is the only way forward. We don't have time to convince the DAO of what needs to be done. The DAO is like a battleship that cannot be turned around quickly. What are these false assumptions? 1. Coinjoin...

The group that forked the coin would make all the decisions. Your only decision is to buy their coin or not.
