Oh wow, dnaleor, I've had you on ignore a long time.  This is the first I see of your admitting to being the person in the picture.  Seeing a "face" makes you more human to me, and unfortunately, me being me, I'm now worried about you, the person.  Please, may I suggest, seriously, some counseling.  I honestly think you need to talk to someone.  Good luck.

And a repost of Alex's music video.  It might make you happier, dnaleor   Also, I highly suggest to all our in-house trolls to check out this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect as it may give you some insight.

2 more nodes and we will hit 3300!!!

I understand what you're saying, that you want us to disengage from Bitcoin.  However, Bitcoin, being like the USD to the world's currency, is too powerful.  We get too many benefits by participating in the big "Crypto Pool".  I think what you don't like is how all alts are pinned in price against Bitcoin.  However, by building Dash on Bitcoin technology, we are positioned to be easily added to Bitcoin technology.  This has already come to fruition with the OSX wallet, the Android wallet Electrum wallet (soon to be released), and will happen soon for Bitcoin ATMs to accept Dash, as well as all the payment processors which now accept Dash.

Bitcoin simply isn't designed to be the final, usable solution for normal people.  I personally don't think they ever will be or should be.  They'll be the entryway to the Crypto economy for quite some time, though, and we want people, the common people, to move into crypto as soon as possible.  Their opinion of Bitcoin is slowly changing.  Many people have heard of it, and for non-crypto nerds, Bitcoin will be the first crypto they'll risk buying into.  Eventually, they will see that the real way to go is Dash, and move their funds, super easily now, to Dash.  It takes time.  It's not that Dash isn't ready for use, it's that the world isn't even all that ready for Crypto in general.

I don't mean that we should sit around and wait though.  Just that being a part of the Bitcoin Tent is not an actual problem IMO

Did you already booked your plane to Miami?

P.S don't forget your nice flyers...

* will stan.distortion melt his poor old wrinkled brain trying to solve it ?
* will qwizzie finally come up with a puzzle nobody can solve ?

Trolls are good for one thing and one thing only :

Providing a good laugh once a while to anyone reading this forum


Unifying and strenghtening a community


For sacrifice purposes, to appease the crypto gods


To put on ignore

Huh? What happened? Did I scare him away?

Please Evan and others give this guy 2 minutes to speak at next conference so he don't need to use fliers.

Thanks again for proving that Moronero has shit to show for, except baseless attacks against its vastly superior competition.

We are under colonialism Bitcoin  --> check

we compare ourselves with Bitcoin (BTC/DASH) --> check

BTC big holder control our market  --> check

We need to separate ourselves from the world of coins, as i say  Dash is new money system technology.(We need to change our vision)

You quite clearly don't understand how the blockchain rewards and voting system works.. Nobody 'steals' anything. Your statement doesn't even make sense.  If stakeholders don't vote for development work then it isn't funded. Seems fair to me. These funds are from the existing blockchain reward system, currently allocated  45% miners 45% masternodes and 10% budget. The 10% budget is up for grabs if projects are voted and funded, else the 'coins' never get created.

If anything, the mechanism is likely to be deflationary, especially if projects aren't voted for and the funds allocated, because they get burned. Please correct your post.

When the network is flooded with instantX transactions, your masternodes won't be able to keep everything in that 'hard mempool' for 24h and for sure some double spends will slip through.

please don't create fake quotes.

We have usable software, we do have a GUI (although not an "official" one. Most bitcoin users don't use Bitcoin-QT either by the way)  
It's DASH that can not create a real working digital cash... You guys are centralized and have very slow mixing as a result. Good job.

Ok, BYE, see you in next DASH conference :-)

Ok thanks. Now the next question, how many % of the mining hashrate do you estimate an attack like that would require from the attacker, if we assume the tx lock stays for example 24 hours?

Special video edition "Trolls don't love Dash"

You can have double spend attacks, you can have flooding the network with a bunch of instantX transactions, you can have DDOS against masternodes... All of these attacks are possible and will make InstantX unusable even without going into the details on how InstantX works.

AFAIK if a lock isn't achieved before the next block, it falls back to regular pow confirmations. Or am I missing something?

EDIT: Also, isn't what you're describing simply a 51% attack?

That might have something to do with your communications skills. Just saying...

Miners can just mine the blocks they want. The data in the "hard mempool" isn't kept forever, so eventually, those instantX transactions will be dropped from the network, making it possible for a double spend attack to succeed.

And this is assuming your masternodes are actually locking transactions, because if I understand correctly, they aren't paid for locking transactions.
