We could have a cryptonerd penis measuring contest all day long with this commit versus that commit. I don't see investors taking that route.

Perhaps you are right but as long as there are people such as Raptor_73 who apparently do think those metrics are important, my bolded questions should probably be answered instead of dismissed.

How many of Dash commits are actually specific to the Dash project?

How many (and percentage) code modules are new or significantly modified?

How many (and percentage) lines of new or significantly modified code?


I'm not sure what he thinks, but the numbers look quite impressive so I guess that's why he posted them. Make of them what you will.

Instead of posting your 'bolded questions' rhetorically, why don't you research and post the winning answers, should you find them.

Sure, I'll start.



Thus I estimate that Dash has 218 commits that aren't in Bitcoin. The number may be off slightly due to the repos likely being a bit out of sync with each other.

Not bad, but well under even the paltry 1200 or so attributed to another project that is alleged to be a clone with "no development" so maybe not that impressive either. I'm not sure, what do you think?


I am sure numbers could be checked but I think you are just comparing apples and oranges. In Monero there has been a lot of clean up of the Cryptonote code base done where a few lines of code are changed and then a commit is submitted and certainly other more substantial commits but the small ones sure add up.  Dash works differently as new features are added from scratch the amount of code in a commit can be bigger.  I am not saying one thing is better than the other, just that the comparison does not apply. If you wanted to compare two different projects like this, you should do it in terms of lines of code added, but again there is no point in that as Dash and Monero are unrelated.

We tend to measure in terms of new functionality added like, Instant Transactions, Voting, Blockchain Funding, Incentivized Full Nodes, Coin Mixing,etc and how those align to our long term goal of making crypto more usable to people.  Definitely choosing a younger codebase like Cryptonote has its drawbacks like having to spend a lot of time cleaning up and completing the  codebase without producing added value for end users specially when compared to the Bitcoin codebase, things like multisig come to mind.

I think everyone that is contributing to the industry should do it in their own way and all avenues are valid, we will see in a few years how things evolve. Comparisons between things that are unrelated to each other are not conducive to progress. Sorry if it sometimes comes from our side too.

You try so hard to trash Dash but again don't look up its waaaay above you, look down Rubycoin is alrdy catching up to you!





Called it back in October.  Grin

and what is your next prediction?



I predict 50% Dash going up and my other 50% Dash going down. Kinda of like rpietilla's predictions you see if price of Dash hits .007 this is good; if it reaches 0.0050 it is still good. However, if it reaches 0.004 which is possible then I think this is bottom then it shoots up somewhere between 0.005 and 0.05 and lets not 4get there is also a bottom bottom which is between 0.004 and 0.0000004.

P.S I accept donation from my brilliant  analysis.

Github commits are somewhat arbitrary, although we can see that DASH is building on Bitcoin, a hugely successful and respected project with many contributors and commits.

There are 1000+ bitcoin forks, most are completely pointless clones with no development. If one wants to evaluate them, the amount of development specific to each project is highly relevant.

These are relevant metrics.


Did somebody say something, thought i heard the distinct rumblings of failure blowing past the tumbleweed lol

It should be becoming painfully obvious that "Operation Noise" has been a utter and complete failure. Please, to all FUDders and BS regurgitators, stop this nonsense before you completely destroy your investment.

Cool that the Latin American Bitcoin Conference is almost apon us. Should be an interesting day!

The next budget is 6 days away.  Is the dash.org purchase going to use funds from a new proposal or is this already incorporated in core/public awareness proposals?

The only new proposal for this period looks like the Christmas lottery.  Checkout dashwhale.org for a description and vote your preference.

 Three of us sponsored this initiative out of pocket, for a total of $20,329.99 including escrow and wiring fees, special thanks to Daniel(Minotaur) and Robert(kot) for helping me finance this purchase. The original asking price from the seller was $30,000.00, which is why it was very difficult to negotiate to a reasonable price. The negotiation process was delicate and lead by Triptolemoose over a 2 month period, this project could not be announced publicly upfront as that would put the negotiation in jeopardy and thus we had to request private sponsorship and now wait for budget refunding after the domain was transferred. We will request funding for this from the budget system over a period of four months at the price at the time of the purchase which was $2.42. We are splitting it up to use as little budget space as possible while at the same time refunding sponsors over a reasonable period of time. This will total 2100DASH/month over a 4 month period. Needless to say, the sponsors are supporters of the coin and will hold their refunds creating no impact in the markets, while making our coin much more easier to find online and helping us raise visibility.


so i assume a budget proposal for 4 months is in the planning.....
Thanks.  We will see if your planning assumption will start this cycle or the next budget cycle.  Obviously, those in the know are also preparing for the Evolution Revolution.

With an open budget this cycle, I may just submit an anti-troll budget implementing:
An update to bitcointalk code with:
  • New option for "Report troll post"
  • Troll IP blocking. 
  • Troll fine - any trolls pay a fine(in DASH) if they want to post again
  • Troll email bomb - first offense 10 emails, second offense 100 emails, etc.

Not that I have any clue if bitcointalk would accept this, or even how long this post will stay up, but hey, worth a shot.

isn't it wonderful how DASHs competition for brand recognition is a toss up between the idiotic Kardashians and the ISIS terrorist group!

keep up the good work chumps.

So the post is not interpreted as being off topic by the whining dash tards I speculate that this is one of the major reasons for your demise.

Can you see the difference?


Hey, just out of curiosity, how many of those Dash commits are actually upstream Bitcoin commits?




Smooth you have to remember that the bigger the number, the "better" it is.

You can't look at it any other way (other than how big the number is as it is presented in those screen shots). At least according to dash supporters.

It's like how they think that more masternodes = better privacy. When it is pretty much privacy theatre.



@Raptor_73, can you see the difference?

Obviously not as you would have noticed what smooth is pointing out before you posted that screen shot now making you look foolish/silly.  Cheesy

hopefully we can see the show live on internet...  Wink

Disclosure of Dash Evolution is imminent !!
 



about the dash evolution obviously

Speaking of showing live video from the 2015 Latin American Bitcoin Conference; Any chance we can get a livestream of the DASH presentation?  The Samsung Note 5 and Edge have the ability to a do livestream within the camera/video settings.  It probably isn't too hard to do on other smartphones either. 

Video about setting up livestream on Note 5/edge for those interested.

I love those!  Thanks!

But that doesn' include any Evolution, right?  LOL, can't wait to see an update with Evolution included!
