Bitcoin network doesn't have an API.
You mean the api just applies to a single node ?

The specifications looks f**king insane
It sure does. (Though I'd argue it was actually totally sane
)The thing is, last year's (2014) roadmap generated a massive buzz and propelled Dash well into the field of serious long-termers with a marketcap to match.
This year's roadmap is if anything more exciting just because of the fact that it's starting from such an elevated level of development. The masternode network's already there and working smoothly. Darksend is already there. InstantX is already in production. Last year, everyone was starting off from the same point - all Dash had was a roadmap. This year there's already a gap the size of the grand canyon between this and any other bitcoin-compatible project, not to mention bitcoin itself.
Everyone was too busy digging their heels in about masternodes not being the way to go for one reason or another. Well now they can see it is the way to go and that the price of not doing so is becoming monumentally huge when set against the tsunami of benefits coming this way.

....meanwhile, back at the ranch. This Evolution stuff looks pretty amazing.
He's going for an absolute cash analogue. Instant, anonymous and instantly anonymous.
He must be pretty confident about pulling this off to have announced it so publicly. I also wonder what the "API" is all about. I mean bitcoin has an api - what's different about this one ?
It's taking everything to a new level.

Looks like this is pretty much the new replacement for cash and light-years ahead of any coin in existence.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I hope "Support for 700 million users" means the network can support 700 million users at any one time. Or to put it another way, 10% of the worlds population can use the DASH network at the same time.
Can somebody at the event please confirm this or explain what it actually means.

Evan has spoken of capacity in this way before. In the past, he's based it on the assumption that the average user makes x transactions per day. The system can handle y transactions per second. Consequently, the system can handle ((86400 * y) / x ) users.
What does the 86400 represent?
((86400 * 1500) / 2 ) = 64,800,000 which is way off 700,000,000
I'm confused lol
86400 is the number of seconds in a day.
And yes, you are right, so I don't know exactly what assumption he used for x.

Good news about Dash! 
This means price rises!

I've deleted all my posts but the damage has been done. I'm sorry. I thought It was funny, but in the end you're correct.
Wait... on the back of the tickets wasn't " dash is a scam " ? Well, then he is innocent. I'm still smiling :-) October 07, 2015, 04:41:59 PM
Does anybody have a link to the $4 a month Masternode hosting service? I can't remember what it was called. Thank you.
https://masternodecloud.com/
I'd recommend them.
That's the one, thank you numisma

As always
Men this is so great... the virtuous cicle...
Devs increase functionality -> infrastructure needs to increase + price rises -> masternode operators can scale up -> network scales and allows more users -> price rises -> masternode operators can scale up -> devs have power (and money) to increse functionality -> ...
And then it's just Moore's Law from there

I am having trouble coming up with what a decentralized API might mean. Is it something like etherium's decentralized code execution but restricted to certain API calls?
Well, api = application program interface. So I'm going to guess, not being a programmer or anything, that Dash will have information that can be "glommed onto" easily through some kind of programming "call" I use "" because these terms may be used in programming, but I'd be using them completely wrongly....well, except glommed...
Anyway, so if you wanted information from the blockchain, I guess, the api allows you to create a program that taps into Dash, the network or the interface, or anything, and make your own application. Kind of like a branch on a tree. It's attached but separate entity.
What one might do, I'm not creative enough to think up. Maybe side-chains could be done using this?

Well done, but don't worry to much, he's an idiot anyway!

poor slob
I don't think we should be publicly traducing people that are unknown but who's photographs are published in the forum.
The guy is just innocently handing out leaflets and doesn't merit any online hostility. I don't think it's very respectful to post his image and call him a slob. I think that photo should be deleted. Many people attend these types of meetups which are usually good spirited all round. However if they start being a target for political voyurism it will just sour the offline community as well as the online one.

So that's really not what I meant. Apologies for that
I realise you weren't ill meaning in a personal way, Tante. But after you posted that, the picture just quickly turned into a metaphor for some of the online trolls and that is potentially not very healthy.
The offline community is nowhere near as toxic as some of these forum exchanges are. When you meet people in person you usually have a completely different type of exchange than in an online scenario where all the human intuitive signals that support a favourable and constructive interchange are stripped away. If people start posting pictures of individuals of whom they have no idea who they are and start using them for troll "target practice", that is the thin end of a wedge which can spill from the anonymous online world into the real world and I would very much like for that not to happen.
Put it this way, how would you like for your photo to be posted on a hostile forum to be kicked about by all and sundry as they see fit when you had never lifted a hostile finger to anyone and not even asked for your photo to be taken in the first place ?

There is a word for that.
