I realize the devs are busy developing, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe they forgot their password to this site? lol

Evan made an excellent post a little over a week ago explaining his plans for the next version of Dash. Github shows a great deal of work having been done ( https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commits/v0.12.0.x ) but nothing in the last eight days. UdjinM6 eduffield When can we expect this...

As an addendum to my previous post: I would really like to see something done about the centralization that's inherent in PoW mining pools. I know Ethereum claims to be doing something to basically incentivize smaller pools, but I'm not sure on the technical details. It may not be the top...

Very thought-provoking post, Crouton. I've asked repeatedly in the past why we can't go to a pure "Proof of Service" model to secure the blockchain, but no developer has ever replied. eduffield flare UdjinM6 or anybody else who would like to at least comment on the feasibility of such a thing...

I honestly don't see us getting 2/3 participation from the MN owners. I think that's another issue we are going to have to consider. Do we subject votes to a quorum? If so, what's the quorum and how do we achieve it? In the United States, voter turnout in midterm elections is usually on the...

Tao, I agree that Dash price should be taken into consideration. We are openly competing with Bitcoin...what happens if/when we arrive at Bitcoin's current marketcap of 3.3 billion dollars? Dash would be worth $600 each, which means 15% of block rewards would equal 7.4 million dollars per...

I agree Minotaur. The following comment is symptomatic of somebody who is overly excited: Lonecrouton may think he knows what the outcome will be, but he cannot possibly "know full well" exactly what the future holds. He's been a very valuable contributor here and on BCT, but I think he's...

Good point...don't like the cookie idea at all!

eduffield A couple of questions Evan: 1) You mentioned that a stable implementation was needed for work to be completed on the mobile wallets. Are will still waiting for this work to be completed before x.12.x is released? 2) Will masternode blinding be a part of x.12.x? Has it been moved to...

Not referring to you at all. I agree that the idea needs to be fleshed out and optimized. I'm sure it will be awhile before we see this in code. My point was that the only two people who appear to be dead-set against this are lonecrouton and camosoul. Everybody else either a) thinks it's a good...

Good point. I was reading a while back about some algorithm that treasure hunters use. They grid an area of the ocean to search for a shipwreck and then determine the probability that the ship is in each grid. As the search progresses, they continually rerun the probability numbers and search...

I don't know, I count two people so far who are against the proposal. One of whom lost all credibility a long time ago with "OMG Evan broke my walletz and all my coinz is gone. Darkcoin is broke sell sell sell" and "Darkcoin is obviously broken because even though hundreds of other people can...

It occurred to me that people like to do things that have been proven to work in the past rather than venturing out in new directions. I think the same holds true of many efforts to increase the adoption level of Dash. We tend to think that we need to follow the same path as Bitcoin, but that...

If the time ever comes where money is no longer needed for development, the Dash code can be updated to remove the 15% and the community can choose to accept/reject that update.

Y'all, we just saw something completely humiliating yesterday. Bitcoin was created in protest of the financial bailouts of 2008, but yesterday the bitcoin development team had to themselves be bailed out by a private university. Let's try to avoid this happening to Dash. Somebody pages ago...

I don't see this working solar, because it depends on masternode owners voting to reduce their income to fund projects. By building it into the protocol, it's automatic. I don't think it's wise to give mn owners sixty percent of the block reward by default, and then tell them they can divert...

Oops my bad haha. Thanks for the correction!

G1: From my reading of it, those coins simply aren't emitted at all. The network keeps track of how many coins are "reserved" and then creates x number of coins once the masternodes approve a contract. Example (using round numbers): Say 2000 DASH are created every day and split between miners...

Wow, amazing work Evan. And damn, some of you people are fast readers!

Very good point crowning. Sometimes the simplest solutions...!
