    Dash to Bank the Unbanked

    Dashes fiat gateways are pretty good, certainly in the top 5 as far as crypto goes and the Dash to fiat side is good enough for the day to day needs of many users already but fiat to Dash (or any other crypto) is more difficult. Mostly that's because fiat is godawful clunky stuff, a business...

    AA on lightning network - 21 Jan 17

    He did touch on it briefly at the very end and the implications of it are huge, when you start adding up just how much friction those kind of delays cause then the effects of reducing it even down to a 1Hr/6 confirmations standard instead of the usual 30 days are staggering. The total effects of...

    AA on lightning network - 21 Jan 17

    He touches on an interesting point from about 17 minutes, the time property of value but he only really covers it from one aspect, reducing delays. The time property of value is something we consider practically every day but evaluate separately to our means of transferring value, money. When...

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    That ip is still showing up as closed here. Idk, maybe try turning it off and turning it back on again, reboot both the server and the offline box, give 'em time to be sure everything is up to date and try starting again :/ EDIT: I forgot to mention Moo's scripts (one of the devs), details on...

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    That's the correct ip above? It's showing up as blocked here too but I'm surprised your VPS provider has blocked it. They don't have anything like firewall tools on their management page for it? If they charge by the minute it could be worth creating another VPS with them and testing the ports...

    DASH WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL if it does not solve this Problem

    DASH WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL if it does not solve this Problem

    The problem isn't the store of value aspect, that's what give it scarcity at this stage, it's the path between fiat and Dash. That's assuming you're not planning on everyone switching to making purchases using Dash all of a sudden. Who knows, might happen but there's a big market right there in...

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    I am now out of my depth... You still have ufw enabled on your server? I'd suggest disabling it temporarily and re-testing the port, I doubt that will be the problem but it crosses one thing off the list. Where is the server located, on a server farm or on a consumer connection? (residential...

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    Port 9999 is open on your server? I get out of my depth fast with network issues but you should be able to test the port with this: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    You're comfortable enough with the terminal interface to talk to your server? If not it's worth checking a few guides on the basics and playing around with it a bit, navigating directories, seeing what's in them, etc. Log into the server and you'll be in your home folder and in there should be...

    TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (UPDATE GUIDE UPDATED FOR 13.0)

    Ok, you'll need to redo that if you haven't changed any of it or someone could hijack your vote. Right, so you've masternode.conf filled out correctly on the offline box and dash.conf filled out correctly with the masternode private key and masternode=1 on the server so it's just the start...

    DASH WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL if it does not solve this Problem

    Sounds interesting, maybe I should get around to joining the Slack. The conclusion I came to with that one is it's simply not possible, it's an inherent flaw of money but the concept of money is so heavily ingrained in our thinking that it could take a few generations to outgrow it completely...

    DASH WILL NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL if it does not solve this Problem

    Turn Dash into a really bad kind of money? Joking ;) Gresham's law isn't a hard and fast rule, some even claim it's a complete fallacy and while I'm not sure I'd go that far their are certainly exceptions. Taxation for example, you could have the worst money in the world but it will keep working...

    New member in need of help

    Not heard of anyone having this problem before and it looks like it's just exiting normally. Tried running dashd instead of dash-qt? What point does it quit at too, the loading screen?

    Few questions about Dash and crypto in general

    Research for something along those lines was funded a while back and there will likely be more as need arises: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/legal-research-marco-santori-cooley-llp.12691/ The warnings on the dangers in cryptocurrency are repeated endlessly both by the community and by...

    Transaction fees - how do they work?

    Chances are those kind of values wont just be voted on but that they'll be dynamic variables continuously adjusted by the network. That's the direction discussions have gone in anyway, there's a post from Evan mentioning it around here somewhere. I don't know how it will function though, at a...

    Evolution 2fa login

    Short answer, good security is hard. Evolution will try to make everything as simple as possible for the user and to offer the best security it can within that but extra measures mean extra effort, even just entering a confirmation code from a second device would cause many users to complain...

    Dash Core Team Accountability and Lack of Communication

    No way I'd support anything like that, even Gandhi wouldn't be trusted to do it and only the stupid or corrupt would take such a thankless job. Maybe something like voting as a kind of jury duty as a stop gap measure but the more that can be done automatically and without human intervention in a...
