Welcome guys!


Also great news on Evolution can't wait for Mexico.

I'm so excited that we'll soon get more information and be a part of the project!  I also hope we'll actually get to test things a bit soon?  Wow, so dang cool!  And looking for a Project manager, how cool is that?!?!

I'm not sure it's necesary to repost pic of this dick.

Can we stop engaging trolls please and focus on our incoming events?

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
Can't we all just get along? I would really like that.

Sure..  Roll Eyes

Thanks for the info! I'm mining right now around 13 Mh/s. It's severely non-profitable. Which has me wondering why? Even more so, why are so many people hashing away and perfectly fine with losing money? Faith?

That depends on your power price and hardware.

lol youd be better off mining a coin with a lower diff with that hashrate....

Lower diff usually means lower price. Not that there aren't more profitable X11 coins to mine than DASH, currently. IMO, it's stupid to mine DASH in this case, even if you want DASH - instead, mine something else, sell it, buy DASH, and you end up with more DASH than you would have had, had you mined it directly.

Wolf0 is right mine other coin.......no more coins, better buy..it is all about buying the coins produced by the POS masternodes. POW is still there to make dash look more legit.

try ethereum it is more profitable, the coins move so fast dash's instantx is not that great anymore  Wink

Interesting... Anyone want to give me the low down on Dash? Iv'e been locked in a warm freezer for the last two years.

So much to look forward to the next couple of months :

If you guys don't own any DASH, why do you care?  How are you able to justify the time you spend looking like a fool here?

I couldn't care less about XMR, seriously it does not even enter in to my thought process as something worthwhile or even a threat to DASH's success.  DOGE is more of a threat.

And OMFGBBQ I'm not in the XMR thread(s)..... amazing how that works isn't it?   

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Classic day in the BCT thread:

iCEBREAKER: BS

Us: "Whatever..."

Random Person: What's up with Dash?

Us: Provide the multitude of awesome things which combine to create the Dash ecosystem.

Random Person: Wow, thanks for the info! Dash really is great!

Us: No problem, see you around!

iCEBREAKER: Please listen to my BS, I have investments to protect!

Us: "Whatever..."

Lather, rinse, repeat...

That depends on your power price and hardware.

........or your reason for mining.

Any mining updates with Dash (or x11 in general), are we still mostly on AMD cards or Maxwell cards, any news of FPGAs?

FPGA is still doable, and still not happening unless you've money to invest. I'm working on designs for FPGA, but it's kind of a side project for now.

What would be the best hashing algorithm if the objective was to enable easy to produce and affordable ASICs or FPGAs that would still be profitable or at least break-even for regular consumers? Or is that even possible as large ASIC mines would take over anyway if the ASIC was easy to manufacture?

Large ASIC miners would just make TONS of the chips - economies of scale: shit gets cheaper when you make more of it.

But what if the chip where the algorithm itself is is very simple and cheap to design and produce and the shit it requires and depends mostly on is already available and being manufactured the most efficient way possible, like memory? Wouldn't that mean that the cost $/hash would remain constant no matter how much you buy it?

Memory-hard PoW is indeed one direction some people have pursued but it hasn't really either caught on nor been tried much and failed, so it is just a theory. Some terrible attempts suffer from the problem that most algorithms that use very large amounts of memory are also too slow to verify.

A couple of memory-hard algorithms that have been proposed that don't suffer (too much?) from the verification problem:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cuckoo-cycle-a-new-memory-hard-proof-of-work-system-405483
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/memory-hard-proof-of-work-with-fast-verification-and-tunable-tradeoff-resilience-1196953

Both have white papers.

One potential vulnerability to ASIC optimization is that existing memory is rather general-purpose. Possibly you could make special purpose memory for any particular mining algorithm that would be cheaper or more efficient. For example, one general way to do that is just by making the memory less reliable (in terms of bit error rate). For general purpose computers, unreliable memory means your computer crashes, but for mining it may just hurt your hash rate a few percent, which could be a very good tradeoff. Likewise lifetime and/or hard failure rate in the field. If a computer fails, the user is inconvenienced, maybe returns it under warranty or doesn't buy from that manufacturer again. If one node in a big farm fails, it just gets replaced, with again a small hit to hash rate and not much else.

The dash video series and the getting started section of the website are the best places to get quickly up to speed.

Probably, as we're constantly accused of being cultists, LOL.

Anyway, yah, we're very convinced that if crypto currency ever has a chance to make it to mainstream, Dash will be the one to do it.

Best thing to do is if you have any questions while reading up on Dash, please ask, we'll try to help.  Basically it's going to be super easy to use, super hard to screw up, private and instant.  We also have our own funding mechanism, so we don't have to accept money from outside, or beg to pay our developers, our marketing, etc...  And there will soon be a DAPI or distributed API that anyone can tap into for their own projects.  We hope this will enable a lot of innovation, like a super easy to use Open Bazaar or distributed exchange.  Dash is the first Autonomous Distributed Virtual Corporation, as well, which means it is an entity unto itself, able to fund projects submitted if voters vote for it.

There is so much going on, it's hard to explain without making a super long post, which I've done too many times, LOL.  So I'll leave it at this Smiley
