I agree, to make something 100% resilient is impossible. If I understand it – which I don't :) – that's the one of messages of the Incompleteness Theorem: there will always be something which undoes a system, no matter how clever. Aiming for perfection is not productive, you can improve pretty...

I'm currently reading the book Complexity Economics, which is a recent book (2014) that collects together a number of papers Brian Arthur has authored or co-authored. Brian Arthur was one of the original members of the Santa Fe Institute, which has been looking at better ways to understand...

Yet again I have been sidetracked by life and haven't spent any time on this lately. I am thinking that there is something I can more productively spend my time on for Dash and that I should park this for now. There are two impediments to working on Dash integration for OpenBazaar: first, it's...

I agree with the spirit of your point but I am not sure what you are implying by the details, so I would like to expand on something. I agree entirely that making changes to Dash just to please one interest group or another would make no sense, it would be making changes without logic, and...

That's a very good point, we don't want to push masternode operators to using commodity hardware. I suspect in the long run that might solve itself, as the masternode hardware requirements grow to the point a masternode needs a dedicated server. What will prove helpful is some sort of...

This question has gone round and round in my head a number of times. I think it will be easier to frame the problem if we word the question as "What is the optimal number of masternodes?" and derive the masternode capital requirement from that. One way to look at this is in terms of democratic...

Oh, I'm glad you posted this on Reddit! I was in two minds whether to attend HCPP as I'll be at the Trezor hackathon earlier that week, but this has sealed it for me. I live in Prague now, so I'm available before the event to help coordinate things. I'll do whatever I can to help with this, just...

I know how you feel!!! This is all promising though. I'll download the Go version of the OB server and see how far I get using it in place of the Python implementation (right now I have no idea exactly way behaviour has been re-implemented.) With any luck I'll be able to make everything I've...

I think I've got as far as I can with this and I don't know what to do next. (This is why I didn't want to put in a budget proposal right away, in case I came unstuck.) It looks like either continuing to work on the existing Python server implementation, or switching to developing on the new Go...

I just used this list to check if a Python library I need is available (it looks like it isn't). I only remembered it was here because I found it browsing the Dash forum. This would be an amazing resource if it was a web app in itself, that could document and track the status of projects – even...

I have just discovered the OpenBazaar server has a requirement for bitcointools 1.1.44, which is vbuterin's Python toolkit. Has bitcointools been ported to Dash? I found @vertoe's excellent Call for devs: Software adoption thread but I can't see it listed. I think this is a deciding factor, as...

Thanks. That's really hard to find though without knowing where to look in the code. Can I add it to the wiki or do you need to be given permissions to edit that? (I just tried to sign up, but it failed with the error "'admin' is not a valid email address".)

Small question: is it documented anywhere what the valid format of testnet addresses is? I've searched the wiki, but I can't see anything. From looking on the testnet block explorer it seems all addresses are of the format yXXX…, but it's never safe to assume. (On a related note: where is the...

I only came here because I stumbled across the t-shirt subject, I didn't expect a debate about Brexit :) But since you've raised it, these points are all good reasons why I'm glad to not be living in the UK any more. They aren't reasons I moved, but they're forces keeping me away. I like a lot...

I'll take one in M! I'm guessing at the size but M usually fits me. EU shipping also here. My first and only purchase so far off OpenBazaar is the OpenBazaART and Crypto Revolution t-shirts by Stone Banana. I've never been into geeky t-shirts but these I had to have, and I'd quite like to add...

I have an idea. 2 small FlokiNET servers would cost 20 EUR, which is about 22 USD, which is about 2.75 DASH. I will round that up to 3. If I put in a budget proposal for 4 DASH/mo for 5 months, I will have enough for 2 servers + transaction fees etc, and recoup the cost of the proposal. Sound...

I can see from their perspective why support for other cryptocurrencies would be low down the list, they have a lot of work to do improving the core marketplace features, without having to worry about a multitude of payment options, especially when nobody can say which ones will be most...

Real DASH prices are now working! Prices are being pulled from https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/dash/ This feed only has USD prices, so right now, this means it only works if the item is listed in USD and the buyer is shopping in USD. The patches are on GitHub, for the client changes...

@halso Do you mean team up with a core developer from Dash or OB? (Minor) updates: I just sent links to my repos to one of the OB team on Slack who asked for it. Also, /u/Chris_Pacia replied on Reddit to tell me that the Go server which is destined to replace the current Python one is around...

The path I'm taking is to start by duplicating everything inside OB that is Bitcoin-specific, and make it work for Dash. This has the advantage that the initial Dash code becomes independent of the Bitcoin code and can evolve separately. If this works we can then look at a payment abstraction...
