You can look at it two ways..."I missed the boat when I didn't invest within a month of release" or "I really dodged a bullet when I didn't buy in May/June/July of 2014, and waited until now to go all-in."

Maybe it's a good thing you missed the boat? In this case, it's better to have been WAY LATE to the party than a little late.

He hasn't said or given an approximation on how long it will take to roll out Evolution. I expect awhile, since he said it was a total overhaul of the Dash code, but no numbers have been thrown out. The January 22 "demo" sounds like it will be a fairly preliminary version.

You missed that boat. Get over it.

2 years after that, Dash is more alive than ever. Think about that.   

Restart it...

It is also important to say that the foundation is playing a different role these days, as we switched to the voting/budget system for governance and funding and away from a foundation/donation model like other projects.

The foundation just represents us for some things where a legal entity is required, as you can't operate as a community for many things in the real world. So I would say the foundation role at this point is more on the legal representation side and not at all on project management

As much as one would expect the logic of the price reflecting the quality of the project, it's clear that at this juncture in the development of crypto currencies the quality of a project, it's team, future potential and uniqueness of the product's features/functions represents but a tiny overall force or influence on the price. There seems to be many other factors that are far more prominent.

At the moment pretty much all alts are suffering from an unusual disconnect-from-BTC phenomenon. Whereas on other occasions you would see LTC, NMC, PPC, Dash, either remain at a constant BTC value or actually increase their BTC price slightly as the rally occurs, at the moment they've all pretty much disconnected. And while for most of them the USD value hasn't dropped too badly, it's been quite unique to see the BTC value just sliding consistently across the board as BTC rallies.

Dash will rally again too but exactly when it happens and what triggers it is hard to say. The whole scene is ridiculously uncertain. Evan could go to Miami on the 22nd of January, deliver a fantastic presentation that's warmly welcomed and reported on then Dash could drop severely afterwards. It's that unpredictable. Then three weeks later it could go ballistic and start a run up to an ATH.

Trying to make sense of it and offering suggestions of what the price is going to do is virtually impossible. When it does take off though I think we're going to see a rise at a speed like never before. It will happen 'like a thief in the night'. Just have to be patient I guess (as frustrating as it is to see the price knocked around by so many other factors).

It did, all meeting minutes are on the website.

Either way I'm still buying to that point, everyday

Thats a good question. I can't actually remember myself.

Maybe I just looked at this post here and decided that it was at least an 18-month project (based on where Darksend was in January 2014 till summer 2015).

I did think I saw an 18 month to 2 year figure mentioned somewhere, but even if I didn't, to anyone with the slightest bit of experience in software development this is an 18 month project to get in the ball park I would imagine.

Good question.  Let's find out...

Don't you want to know WTF the strange opaque arrangement of Evan Duffield + DARKCOIN FOUNDATION + instamine $$$ + Dash project is all about?

Or are you for some odd reason studiously incurious about such matters?   


The foundation reportedly made noises about transparency and publishing minutes of meetings.

Did that ever happen?  I've tried to find out, but the only available info is contradictory (bigrcanada says DARKCOIN FOUNDATION != Dash) and clear as mud.


So the DARKCOIN FOUNDATION has the same address as Evan Duffield and owns the trademarks/controls licensing for Dash?

But they haven't spent any money yet?

Considering that there will be no substantial information on Evolution until the end of January, I think it's only logical that potential investors take a wait and see approach.

Where did you get the 18 months from? Can't remember seeing that in the announcements (but I may of course have simply overlooked it)

You would think the price would be going up and not down considering this coin has so much active development going on while so many other coins are quickly produced and forgotten about.

everything overdue
everything needs time unfortunately

iTunes:
replied, we are back in review (they are writing their own rules, so we better be patience)

electrum:
some technical holdups, takes longer as planned (but in the works)
 

In phases over the next 18 months.

I disagree italeffect and for too long there's been this "high moral ground" stance taken by people who say that having the trolls on ignore is the only way to deal with them.

Whilst it's true that responding to trolls' attempt to incite argument is generally useless, there are times when engaging with them is appropriate.

You see, they're secretly wanting to be a part of this. They're secretly sad and dissatisfied with their lot in life, but they just don't know how to express it and attack and venom are all they're good at (probably going back to childhood experiences/neurons set on the wrong pathway/continuous reinforcement of their "badness", etc. etc). They're ultimately not bad people just sad unhappy individuals who need a hug.

So, whilst I understand the psychology of what you're talking about, there's a place for engagement too.

Nothing ever goes quickly with Apple approvals.

iOS wallet is submitted for release and still in review by Apple Appstore team.

its more effective than having this topic pinned to the top.

Is the plan with evolution to roll out one big update in the next two months? Or will there be anything that's slowly revealed up to that point? Besides what we have on the BTC Wednesday videos?

But the trolls keep the DASH thread near the top, so there's that.
