Might as well go buy a cabin in the woods, buy a typewriter and make some wooden shoe boxes to put things in to send to your friends.

Dash to speak and exhibit at the 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference - Mexico



We are very excited to announce that we will be speaking and exhibiting at the, highly renowned, 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference
this December in Mexico City. Last year the event took place in Rio de Janeiro. Past speakers of this event include Erik Vorhees,
Andreas Antonopolus, Tony Gallipi and many others important members of the industry.

Please check the details at: www.labitconf.com

At laBITconf Dash will be an exhibitor with its own booth. We will be presenting Dash to business representatives, industry experts
and potential end users, and giving an update about Evolution as we prepare for the Miami keynote. We will be sponsoring a booth
to exhibit Dash and talk directly to as many people as possible.

Anyone from the community that is able to come out and help with the conference please let us know on the forums or Slack.
See you in Mexico!

Still, those are the boundaries between which the actual number of coins will be. So if we know the minimum reward is 5 and the maximum is 25, the final number will be somewhere between 18.6 and 73.3 million. I think there's a limit of 20 million (or something in that region) defined somewhere in the code, so the upper boundary is actually lower, but the 14 million from the OP don't really work out.

You got something to hide, or?

It is impossible to say what the final number of coins will be.  Dash has a flexible reward system.  If mining wanes because it's unprofitable, the rewards go up according the the formula posted on the OP.  The Budget system could lower that, but a lot of the estimate is based on the lowest rewards possible and a possible "high maximum" which is a complete guess.

You are upgrading to Windows 10?

Wow uh you realize how many privacy issues are integrated into Windows 10?

Troll answers to troll :-)
Yes smoothie, you are a troll

Exactly what I've been saying for a few months now ^

If you disagree with the Dash peeps you are a "troll".

Yes i understood very early that to disagree here means troll  No one answers questions from Dash.. always only changes to benefit the developers

I find it amusing that trolls claim the system is broken, yet they don't understand how the network actually works.

Try looking at the open source code. Why not even launch your own implementation and try to break it - or should that be, confirm it is broken  

I only own a small amount at the moment, so I wouldn't represent my holdings a serious investment position.

Asking about good points is a fair question, though. In no particular order:

Releases tend to, you know, get released. The last major release was a significant upgrade and seemed to have relatively few roll out problems. That speaks to the ability of the team to deliver.

It has low inflation, so in a weak market (one driven more by supply considerations than consistent demand) on might expect less price weakness from dumping of new supply than otherwise. I'm not sure about this though, as one can look to something like Nxt which has zero inflation and has still performed terribly, and Dash hasn't retained value all that well either. Nxt lacks Dash's structural incentive to hold though so that may make a difference (you can stake, but the rewards are negligible).

The InstantX system, while flawed, is like most "zero conf" systems in that is sufficient for casual transitions, and is deployed. If there were actually a lot of routine commerce going on with Dash that would be very nice. There isn't, but the feature being there means one obstacle has been removed.

Likewise Darksend is also not perfect, but again for a degree of casual privacy it exists and mostly works. This could until recently be viewed as a clear improvement on Bitcoin, although JoinMarket has come on the scene and is probably about as good as Darksend (which is to say both are flawed, but the flaws are different), so I'm not sure this is true any more. Darksend is still a bit more mature, as JoinMarket hasn't been integrated into any wallets yet, though I do expect that to happen.

In general, I don't like the idea of investing in what is basically a one-man asset, but as leaders go, Evan seems to do a good job and I would rate his day-to-day leadership as apparently favorable (I don't see everything "behind the scenes" of course so I can't say absolutely this is true). I think Dash would do well to develop a broader team of visible people with both leadership and technical skills though.

The idea of (large) coin holders voting to allocate a budget is worth experimenting with.

It has a high market cap ranking which has its own value in terms of visibility.

As a hedge it may be mathematically worth owning some even if you don't think it will succeed (though you do need to believe there is at least some change it will appreciate in value, which I do). There aren't really any other vehicles with directly comparable properties.

so technically, we still can't say how many

Yeah, sorry, I corrected my post while you were replying, here's my adjusted version for readability:

Instead of the current supply, you would have to add the supply at block height 210240 to the series, which is 5 million according to

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/block.dws?00000000000ae5b7e33558e0601f8f1c5cacc6dbc48ac5f90289d71609fa6355.htm

So that would bring the lower bound to approx. 18.6. Theoretically 10% of the future supply may not get issued since it it reserved for the bugeting system and if there are no proposals, those 10% would not get created. But even then, total supply would be above 14.

On this page it still says ~22M: https://www.dashpay.io/specifications/
