I kindly suggest Evan to submit his Evolution Whitepaper to
Ledger, so we can see if the DASH team is really talented, or it's all air they are selling.
I'd just like to bump this since a number of people probably have dnaleor on ignore by now. But publication in a journal would definitely help with "street cred" as well as the PR effort.
Evan is going to privately code this so that Dash doesn't get trumped and I fully support this. When it's ready, you will get to know, until then, you have to wait like the rest of us. If you don't trust that he has a real plan, and his past performance isn't enough, then, well, what can I say? Too bad, eh? I want to know as well.
Sorry for sounding persnickety, but I've let loose some trolls, and I've gotten in a sour mood, LOL. They're back on ignore. But yah, if we can get it published in a journal, that'd be great, but which one?
Well, this thing that he mentioned, Ledger, is a peer-reviewed journal for the cryptocurreny space that was recently announced. So the suggestion makes perfect sense. And it's not about getting advance access, it's about getting this thing looked at from all angles, so that possible problems are discovered before someone has a chance to exploit them on mainnet
You'll have to excuse TS, who probably is more familiar with security-in-obscurity secret cookie recipes than coding and the FOSS paradigm.
Anybody who
thinks they can flesh out a protocol in secret and then
deploy it, full-blown and working, is in for a world of
hurt."

Unlike Dash, legitimated coins are open sourced, test-netted, and peer-reviewed PRIOR to launch.
If BTC, LTC, XMR, etc. weren't terrified of being "trumped" then WTF is Dash's major malfunction with regard to public examination of its code?
Such a lack of confidence in its ability to withstand public scrutiny doesn't reflect well on any project, but that's especially true for crypto-coins. Closed source is a red flag for scams, bugs, and malware. Closed source feeds the default assumption any new alt is a shitcoin.
Closed source means you trust the third party programmer(s). That's a no-no, unless you are a gullible housewife type...
