me too, digital cash clicks, everyone I spoke to loves it, the less technical they are the more they get it
I still think we need a slightly more complex version that includes the ideas of privacy/anonymity, the denomination concept, masternodes' role, etc... An infographic in motion. WE know what we mean by digital cash, but most of the dumb-masses thing BItCoin is already it. They're ignorant to what BitCoin is missing.
this is a fringe benefit in the minds of those who created the misinformation campaign about BitCoin being anon devil drug gun kill money. The objective was, and still is, to keep the dumb-masses thinking that BitCoin is anonymous, when, in fact, it makes them even more traceable than anything else ever... This is how the dark markets keep getting shut down, same old tactic; follow the money. Tho tor is imperfect, it's not the cause. The rendezvous system doesn't depend on exit node clusters. That whole argument doesn't mesh with reality and demonstrates that those promulgating it don't know what they're talking about. Making sloppy moves with your BTC because you falsely believe it is anonymous. That's what's doing it. That's what the misinformation campaign was built to cause.
Make micro deposits to dozens of accounts/addresses on dark market website. Watch the addresses they get withdrawn into. Oh look, it's a coinbase account with a name and address... This is not hard and it's exactly what the feds are doing. It doesn't give them 100% proof to prosecute, but it sure as hell narrows it down when dozens of those tiny deposits end up on one giant lump that can't possibly be anything other than the site admin... Or maybe a vendor. Either way, they're catching very large low-hanging fruit as a result of their misinformation campaign and the dumb-masses refusal to learn how things work and just take their misinformation at face value becasue they'retoo damn lazy and stupid to.... You know where I'm going with stupid people, I'll save you the trouble...
While DASH's intent is not to enable crime, it is crime where the flaw was revealed and made most obvious. Criminals, well, smart criminals, value their privacy more than anyone else. The lack of it in their realm is the most obvious first place where it would be exposed. It would probably live on as a quiet lie if not for such splashy examples of failure.
We need an animated infographic that tells us a bit more or people are going to thin this is a solution in search of a problem. That is, in fact, the root of almost every DASH detractor's argument. They've drunk the Kool Aide, and now they share it and even argue it's virtues. And army of stupid people falling for misinformation and spreading it. And all we need to combat it is a slightly longer infographic...
The up-side to "DASH" is that even if the copyright mess is a mess and goes bad, change one letter.
ZASH, VASH, BASH?, LASH, GASH, PASH, FASH(FAS(T)H?), etc... You can play with it so very easily and since it barely makes a point anyway, you can make the point no matter how you slice it... No matter how you change it, it sucks no worse than it already does...
