Atlanta Blockchain Meetup: "Don't You Know, They're Talking 'Bout An Evolution"

#DASH #DashNation

I'm pretty sure that nobody has more than 500 masternodes (anymore)  I think OTOH might have had the ability to have so many at one point in time, but not anymore.  Anyway, I want to point out that in the future, mixing is supposed to go through the DAPI, so it will eliminate any knowledge of the origin IP address, then the mixing will quickly pass though a quorum of MNs, where only one MN not in control of the same entity will eliminate the ability to follow.  So basically, the way this is supposed to work, unless the team has changed their mind, is this:

You send your funds to be mixed, it is denominated in an identical unit as other mixers:  ie: 1.0 dash, 10 dash, etc...  Now it is instantly run across 10 MN that make up the quorum that was selected for you:

MN1  MN2  MN3 MN4  MN5  MN6  MN7  MN8  MN9  MN10

Your coin is mixed once at each "MN station" basically 10 rounds in seconds.  Being passed from one MN to another, the second MN has no knowledge of the history of the coins from the first, nor does the third from the second or forth, fifth, etc.... UNLESS they are owned by the same entity who is recording all this information and unravels it later.  But to have all 10 MNs elected into a single quorum would be very rare, even if  you owned 80% of all MNs which nobody does.  And if that were of concern, doing two "rounds" (IE, 20 traditional rounds) should clear that up.

All in all, having 100% anonymity vs 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% anonymity is not really an issue.  Especially since the chances of a majority MN coalition searching for ties can't control when they might actually make a breakthrough.  It's not worth the cost by any means.  If they ever break the ownership and transaction for someone, it'll probably be my transaction for a big gulp at 7-11.  How exciting, they can get me for health violations!

So much ignorant trolling.  Sorry sir...I've now had to officially Ignore you.  Good grief...I cant understand how people function in the world being so toxic all the time.  I really suspect there are some either very "special" health issues these couple of individuals face or there is monetary reward system for behaving this way.    Either way I want no part of such negativity.  Life is to short to have people like this interacting with me on any kind of level. Good luck with your either medication or agenda, but I'm out

That's...not very decentralized.  

In fact, having one guy be the Enforcement Oracle is 100% pure centralization.

That's the definition of Bus Factor = 1.

Hey guys, I'm trying to drum up support to send Amanda and Pete to the Latin American Bitcoin Conference.  The proposal to send our core team of Evan and Daniel is passing, and Daniel has secured 2 extra tickets to the conference (not for flights or anything) that can be used any way we need them to be.

I propose that we send Amanda and Pete.  I propose that Amanda do an introduction, and possibly help with Q&A after Evan's speech.  But mostly, I propose that we send these two down to Buenos Aires to report and interview.  They should cover the convention floor, interview attendees, interview speakers, with a bend toward Dash, do demonstrations, and nightly reports on what happened that day for those of us at home awaiting news.  I feel they could get TONS of material to be used in Dash Detailed in the up and coming months (until the next event) if they prepare and use their time wisely.  I think they've proven themselves to be excellent representatives of the Dash community and hard workers.

So please let me know if I'm on the right track, if you agree.  I don't even know if Amanda and Pete would agree to do this, LOL.  But I feel time is of the essence as this is in November and air flight tickets need to be bought.  I've already offered my stash of Dash to help pay for submitting the proposal, but Amanda isn't around at the moment, and I have too much energy to wait on drumming up support for this idea.  Just call me unprofessional, LOL.  I think they'd do this though

Thanks for reading

If you haven't watched this yet, please do.  As a presentation team, they will undoubtedly get even better.

i haven't checked but i see that question here more and more, must be something on their end. somebody asked the same question a week or so ago and after seeing multiple people complaining i checked and did not see a problem. i decided to do a instantsend test and sent one dash to the same address i always use but it never showed up. i contacted support and they said something in another language (as always) and that something happened and they had to upgrade and all old address had been lost.
they said they announced it on social media and as a news bulletin on their website but did not bother to send me a email (total FAIL). since i was not notified i asked them to do the right thing and send my dash back but they have so far ignored the request a week later and are just saying it's gone, sorry.

also, i never was able to get their google 2fa to work even after getting a new phone. i have never had that problem anywhere else and the foreign language support person did not help although they were quick to reply, back then. i'm not even sure (failed test) if they are still supporting instantsend after their upgrade fix because it said the transaction will appear after 1 network confirmation?
 with the language barrier and poor support for 2fa and other problems i will not be using them anymore. i'll probably use btc-e where my original btc deposit address from many many years ago still works as does my years old btc add from localbtc and coinbase and probably every other exchange i have used.

maybe someone else can verify if exmo's instantsend is working or not.

You guys are crazy if you think we have any control over icebreaker. I have him ignored too!

After many interruptions, the house has emptied (they all went to Barns and Noble) and I finally got to watch the whole presentation.  Excellent job to both Amanda and Evan!  Great presentation, thanks!!!

BTW, someone posted this on slack, and for me, it was chilling.  I'm posting here to spread the word   https://motherboard.vice.com/read/government-hackers-iphone-hacking-jailbreak-nso-group

Awesome! I'm currently satisfying my penchant for rollercoasters right now, but will tweet and STEEM tonight. Great job, guys!

Enforcement is on! (eta 10m)

Awesome, I'm just getting to this now

Are you aware there are also ASIC miners available for Dash / X11 ?
Anyways here are some links you may find handy :

Hey guys, I'm interested to see what is the fastest x11 gpu amd miner these days ? I've seen numbers like 15 and 25mh from an r9 290/390 but I can't replicate them in any way. Most I could do is 9.1mh on r9 390 and 6.6mh on r9 280x with nicehash sgminer 5.4 on win7 x64 15.12/15.7.1/16.1.1 drivers (they all have the same speed). Tried wolf bins too but they couldn't go above 7mh on r9 390. If anyone knows what are the best gpu miners for x11 please reply. thanks!

That was a nice presentation from both Amanda and Evan.
Also some interesting questions afterwards that shows they got the public engaged over there.

what's going on with exmo?

This is not the official Dash logo. This my own personal logo as the Dash Dalmatian. It's the persona I chose to adopt when promoting Dash. It helps create a friendly, approachable vibe with the people who interact with me. Interesting you say Dogecoin because they are a community that I believe Dash should aspire to be like, passionate and involved.

Is this the new logo officially declared? Very nice. But, why did you include doge? Doge connection to Dash. Any idea about that?

Thank you for your kind words! Anything I can do to help you out, let me know.

Beautiful logo nice job dude! Thanks for your infomation about dash, very helpful
