@GrandMasterDash would you please stop spamming us about how you won't upvote DCG proposals. We get it. And would you please stop trying to derail my thread with discussions about decentralized exchanges?

Wasabi is pretty advanced. If the client is operating correctly, the coordinator is effectively blinded. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wasabi_Wallet The CoinJoin coordinator (run by zkSNACKs Ltd., the company that is sponsoring the development of Wasabi) cannot steal from, nor breach the privacy...

Can anyone tell my why using masternodes to mix coins is any better than the approach used by the Wasabi wallet? Both are non-custodial and trustless.

I started out by trying to imagine how we can improve CoinJoin, but how can we do that while we are simultaneously trying to shed the perception that Dash is an anonymity-enhanced cryptocurrency. This is a "Gordian knot" that cannot be untangled; it must be cut. That is why I think we should...

We can argue with regulators till we're blue in the face, but they can always take issue with the fact that the masternode network facilitates coin mixing. Why not deprecate coin mixing in the protocol and move it into a wallet that people can use if they feel the need? The DAO could fund a fork...

The DIF complicates any analysis of supply and demand with regard to the treasury. This month the DIF created a supplementary proposal to basically throw the rest of the budget into the DIF's coffers and the DAO has obliged. I like this arrangement, because I view the DIF as the DAO's savings...

It's not simply a question of math. The project is different now. It has more structure. And we have the DIF, so direct proposal funding is not the only option and in many cases IT IS NOT THE PREFERRED OPTION. Most of the people who are attracted to the proposal system are either amateurs or...

"Privacy is the ability to keep some things to yourself, regardless of their impact to society. ... So privacy is a concept describing activities that you keep entirely to yourself, or to a limited group of people. In contrast, anonymity is when you want people to see what you do, just not that...

Clean My Mac X did recently flag Dash QT as a "coin miner" so maybe it's been added to some kind of database.

Have you looked into PIVX? What is your opinion of that coin and its governance?

My point is that DCG is a stakeholder; they are not slaves. Andy Freer has an interesting point of view -- that there is no such thing as a decision proposal... "...unless it's from an existing PO, the decision relates to their own DFO, and they actually follow the 'decision'. But none of that...

The last line of defense is DCG's CEO and CTO. They must be prepared to veto bad ideas. BTW, if the DAO ever voted to do something truly stupid and was threatening to defund DCG over it, my hope is that DCG would abandon Dash, fork the coin, and airdrop the new coins to every MNO who voted...

Anyone with a truly good idea is going to be able to raise funds from the community to pay the fee. We've got lots of millionaires around here. The only people hampered by the high fee are the incompetent parasites and the con artists we've collected over the years.

You're proving my point. It is unlikely someone (or some group) would pay $1,100 to SPAM the DAO. We want to keep it unlikely by not reducing the Dash fee to create a proposal.

I don't see a problem. The proposal system is working wonderfully IMHO. I don't always agree with what's funded, but for the most part I do. DCG has been doing an awesome job, and now they are ramping up marketing just in time for Evo MVP. Even the DIF, which was struggling, is now actually...

I am being facetious about DashPress here. My advice to you is to not waste any Dash on this proposal. It's a bad idea. You are not going to improve things by creating a committee that issues reports. Things are moving too fast. And your basic premise that "Governance fails at producing...

Since we're already paying DashForce (DashPress) too much for their meager services, why don't we just transfer this responsibility onto them? And they are already so knowledgable with regards to the DAO. They can pick their own members, hold meetings, and produce the reports you described.

If we succeed, they will have to change the tax system. We're on a mission from God.

This is kind of like saying, "I can't understand why Lord Vader didn't help Princess Leia destroy the Death Star instead of imprisoning her."

The DAO is not a kind of Oracle of Delphi of whom you ask questions via proposal. Some folks here want to micro-manage DCG or the DIF by creating nuisance proposals. We need to keep the Dash fee high to discourage that.
