@stan.distortion the 10% I am speaking of is not the actual treasury. It is the 10% of net votes needed to pass an individual proposal. There is no incentive for MNOs to vote right now? We want to incentivize INFORMED and ENGAGED voters and right now we have that.

Dashwatch handles and reports on our elections for trust protectors and DIF supervisors. For that reason alone they should be funded. And their reports CAN be useful as evidence for or against DFOs. I see them as a work in progress. IMHO with regards to HEX, you are mistaking a huckster who is...

Ha ha. That didn't work out so well with Kuvacash. DashWatch is helpful, but they are at the mercy of the DAO for funding and so they have to be diplomatic.

There is no cure for voter apathy except to allow non-voters to opt-out somehow and give them an incentive to do so. I don't really see voter apathy as a big issue. What we have is the 80/20 rule in action. Only twenty percent of the MNs are voted. Setting the bar at ten percent net upvotes...

For me transparency is not as important as who you are. The DAO does not have the time to monitor the details of your operation.

Can you point us to your linked-in profile?

Apple Computer had an AMAZING, DYNAMIC CEO named Steve Jobs whom people practically worshipped. But Apple Computer struggled in the market against boring MicroSoft with CEO Bill Gates, who probably has Aspergers, for a long time. What started Apple on its meteoric rise was the release of the...

My advice is to stand down and let DCG handle it. Did you listen to the last quarterly call? DCG is most probably going to present this again except broken into two pieces. We could have solved this problem already but some people here decided to interfere with DCG's leadership on it.

You want to wait until America is a failed state with a collapsed currency in order to start marketing Dash here? You might not have to wait long. Also, there are already many people in America who are "unbanked" and many who earn so little they don't need to file a tax return. For those who...

You're forgetting one thing DeepBlue. That proposal was created by the previous group of DIF supervisors. The latest DIF funding proposal passed even though the DAO was well aware of the "change in process," and so I would posit that the change in the DAO's attitude towards this question is a...

DeepBlue, your Jihad against Ryan Taylor is getting tiresome. It brings to mind a famous quote... "When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him." -- Jonathan Swift

Your argument that Polkadot's rise in value is due primarily to its redenomination is specious, and the article you cited confirms that. Also, no one was using Polkadot when they did their redenomination. This would be incredibly disruptive for Dash.

Bad idea. We're just going to get more low-quality proposals from people who didn't do their research. It's not that hard for a potential PO to take the time to engage the community BEFORE creating a proposal to determine if they are likely to succeed. You want to create a kind of lottery...

Eventually IMHO PrivateSend will be something handled in the background, the same way that InstantSend is no longer something the end user needs to be concerned with. Inventing less descriptive names for "PrivateSend" and "Mixing" is not the way to go IMHO.

I have said this before. It is a blessing in disguise that Dash is not in the top ten on CMC. Of all the cryptocurrencies, Dash poses the most deadly threat to TPTB. We need to keep under the RADAR until Evo is launched.

Most crypto transactions are denominated in terms of fiat. For example, "Send me 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin." IMHO this is not helpful. No one cares what the actual per-unit market price of a crypto is. Also, unless we are talking about a stable-coin, the market price won't stay where you put...

Coin mixing is a service of the network, and like all services there needs to be a cost associated with it. We can't pay people to mix. If the cost of mixing is zero or negative we open the door to DOS/spam attacks.

Dash is an open source project, and private transactions is one of its features. It's not possible to "hide" it from regulators. You will only succeed in confusing users.

There may be a way down the line to simply turn on "privacy" and let the software do the rest in the background. All the details would be hidden and the software would tell you what percent of your funds was available for sending at any given time.

[Deleted comment -- I had not seen the Q4 quarterly call for context.] Only power users are going to use the QT wallet anyway. I am curious what DCG's plans are regarding PS and the upcoming DashPay wallet.
