I understand, I was just using that as an example of how specialized the field is and how important it is to have expert advice. IMO, compensation issues are what kill most companies, so that is going to be a critical one (in the long term).

I'm actually taking an HR class for my MBA right now and just learned something that exemplifies how complicated/technical HR can be. If one of your employees tells you that a blood relative is sick and you later ask that employee how they are doing, and then at a later date you fire the...

Hello all! I'm wanting to be prepared to move my masternode collateral to my Trezor right away after 12.1 launches. Can somebody post a guide for setting up a masternode in 12.1 using Electrum/Trezor? Thanks in advance!

Not necessarily. There has to be a first mover. In any event, I'm sure they eventually would list us...eventually. I'd rather pay (remember, if not paid the money is just going to disappear, and I'm not seeing any competing proposals...) and skip the 2-3 year wait before our volumes are high...

Once a major exchange lists DASH, other exchanges will feel pressure to do so (for free) in order to maintain competitive advantage.

The answer to this question is largely going to depend on your philosophy. What is the goal of the budget system? In *my* opinion, it's to accelerate development of the software and the ecosystem. I would guess that we are AT LEAST a year ahead of where we would be already in terms of ecosystem...

I'm not really sure that decentralization immunizes us from market competition. All of those companies succeeded in part by being highly organized. As far as a DAOs enjoying a lack of jurisdiction, that's probably not true. The federal government has enormous power, and if it decides that it...

This is a fair point, and the more Core Team starts to act like a business, the more successful it's likely to be but the more it's going to be charged with "centralization." If you think about it, though, Core Team may be centralized but Dash is not. At any time, the masternode owners could...

Which part is FUD? That DashChat rightly belongs to the Network, or that you tried to sell it? You freely admit to both... I'm glad you've done great things with Dash n Drink, but fail to see how that is relevant to your attempted selling (and ultimate confiscation) of a Network-owned asset.

Not for your personal ownership, but for the community. You got paid to do it. Then tried to sell something that: Didn't belong to you. At least you're willing to admit that you're a crook. I guess that's a start.

@Solarminer ... Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? As I recall, the Dash Network paid you a significant amount of money to create and run a Slack channel which you subsequently privatized and attempted to sell. If you want to talk about corruption, we can start with that. Back to the...

When the price in CNY rises, the price in dollars almost always follows. If China is leading a rally, then there is usually some lag time, but the price in all currencies rises. Just take a look at historical charts. The issue isn't that yuan is leaving the country; it's that wealth is leaving...

Yes it would. But you have to also figure that some percentage of people aren't converting back to fiat at the other end. Depending on how large a percentage on how much volume, the net effect is positive. It's like gift cards--merchants love when you buy gift cards, in part because of...

It might be good to include some sort of logic that blocks outlier prices from being included in any averages. About 6-8 months ago, somebody fat fingered on a China exchange and bought a some Dash for several hundred dollars apiece. That skewed the price on Coinmarketcap for a short...

I want to thank you--it was actually your original MN guide that helped me get setup once I discovered Dash back in 2014. Excellent guide--excellent!

You are correct with respect to the long term. However, instead of saying "any reasonable proposal" I should have said "any reasonable proposal without tons of opposition." As long as only 15-20% of MNOs vote on a proposal, then Core probably does control enough votes on its own to have it pass...

Otoh isn't as active in Dash as he used to be, and the last time I talked to him he didn't really follow the proposals carefully. You are correct that he rarely votes--at all. If I were to guess, it would be a member of Core Team or somebody very close. Perhaps even Evan himself. My theory is...

Careful examination of voting numbers and patterns made it obvious to me some months ago that this is the case. There appear to be 300-500 votes that routinely don't get cast--unless an important proposal is in jeopardy at the last minute. They may be Core Team votes, it may be Otoh (who we know...

I agree. I'm honestly starting to get a bit scared at how thinly spread the "core" of Core Team is becoming. While I understand the need for an "executive council" of sorts within the Team, expanding the weekly calls to a wider audience (all of Core Team) would probably be a good first step...
