OK, I've done it, as GreyGhost there -- and changed XDH to XDA as a small token of appreciation -- so let us see what sort of ideas will pop up...

Community Innitiative #1 -- ISO 4217 Currency Codes
https://dashtalk.org/threads/community-innitiative-1-iso-4217-currency-codes.6277/

Community Innitiative #2 -- Art as a Promotional Tool
https://dashtalk.org/threads/community-innitiative-2-art-as-a-promotional-tool.6278/

Community Innitiative #3 - Virtual Corporation IPO
https://dashtalk.org/threads/community-innitiative-3-virtual-corporation-ipo.6279/

a but of accumulation going on  i like the look of this.

guys, my dash-qt on windows is just using to much bandwith, upload and download



especially when i open my wallet, when its doing that sync additional data... because my ISP is hard on upload, when you max it ... my download is shit (typical ADSL peace of sh**)

any way we can decrease upload bandwith inside wallet?

Better look again :-)

I would prefer the ISO code XDA instead of XDH.

Why don't you move all the discussions to dashtalk wozzek23? One thread for each topic. It's really more suitable for a discussion like this, also you can ping evan there.

Guys can anyone link me to DASH's RPC call commands? i cant find it on dashtalk or dashpay

i know its same as BTC's but there are some new commands on DASH like sendmanyix or its sendtomanyix  

edit: thanks to ETH2 on irc, i just entered ./dash-cli help and all commands are there

thank you bro :*

Ah, you 1%-er

Well, they are here also and if not them, people closer to them than myself are

Why haven't you been bringing these ideas to the devteam's attention ?

There's an initiative: SIX Interbank Clearing: Include a symbol for Bitcoin in ISO 4217 (https://www.change.org/p/six-interbank-clearing-include-a-symbol-for-bitcoin-in-iso-4217) and the Bitcoin already has an informal ISO code that is XBT ("X" like gold and sliver, XAU, XAG) because "the prefix 'X' denotes a non-national affiliation or a monetary metal". So we'd be XDH os something similar.

But check this out: http://innotribe.com/2015-finale-at-sibos-singapore/ and note Bitspark ("Bitspark is the world’s first cash in cash out remittance platform leveraging Bitcoin and Blockchain technology for Money Transfer Operators (MTO’s) to send and receive remittance payments to emerging markets quicker cheaper and with zero bitcoin knowledge required," https://www.bitspark.io/) and compare their level of development with the DASH's. (this brings a huge money remittance business back to mind - I'd like to see all these criminals like Wells Fargo, also enablers of criminal activities outside of their own, out of business - for DASH could be ideal, almost fee free way for immigrants or any other human being to send the money back home or wherever, without being killed by exorbitant fees the Financial Crime Cartel is charging. A dilemma, as always - DASH to CASH and how to do it.)

The Masternode Network can perform all they dream off better, faster and cheaper, while circulating its own currency within its own secured network. What I try to convey is that the world is HUNGRY for initiatives and the money is plenty to support them. Come on, a robust network, supported by a $7,285,000.00 or so value (DASH in USD based on 3,100 MN and $2.35 per DASH) only in DASH (think now of the added value of the infrastructure) might wet someone's appetite.

Think of a "target" X and than engage 1/4 (35%) of Dashtalk members, some 830 or so people and send a letter, snail mail, each and every one of them, from all over the world to the "target" and ask them to consider DASH...

It would catch their attention.

Or as I said before, use that birsomething big Canadian guy with a winery that accepts DASH an demonstrate a demo, no matter how primitive it may be, WINE for DASH for CASH transaction and voila!, as much as that Croatian art idea, a Canadian wine idea SHOWS what can be done. And for all of you geek-geniuses here, forget legalize and think about the bottleneck we face - DASH to CASH and demonstrate how this would go so I can sell my sculpture here.

Years down the road DASH would be more valuable than any cash, but until DASH for CASH needs to work seamlessly and as safe as buying on the Amazon and we'd all be DASH-illionaires in a jiffy

And all of that while making a world a better place, something I am not quite sure Amazon is doing with its slave labor practices...

Just to augment my previous post about navigating the technology adoption life cycle, here's a graphic illustration of Geoffrey Moore's distinct challenges to be met:

Also see how well adopted this type of analysis is in its own right  

@wozzek23

1. Hyper Text Markup Language and no I didn't look it up

2. Please pm or email evan about the ISO 4217 route, because I don't know anything about that    And his head is so deep in code most of the time, he may not be up on what's going on with Bitcoin etc... either

Great thoughts wozzek. Your posts sure do span the spectrum of sentiments when it comes to blowing hot and cold over the prospects of this project.


It's not a question of smartness, but diversity and constructive input. Much of Evan's thinking has originated in ideas expressed in the community - that is well documented and he's never had any problem with recognising it. As I say, 'keep them coming' because the more real world business authenticity that's brought to bear on the project's priorities, the more it will "grow up" as you say and free itself of the confines of bitcointalk babble.

As far as ISO 4217 goes, that is a very relevant issue. I don't know how much progress bitcoin has made trying to get accepted into the standard - I saw there was some discussion about it a couple of years ago.

P.S. I've mentioned this before a couple of times, but there's a great book called Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers.

Basically, the gist is that there the technology adoption cycle is not linear. It has distinct parts (he cites 4: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards). The point is that for your project to be successful, you must recognise when you've arrived at each "chasm" which separates the user base you're currently serving from the next one in the adoption cycle. This then requires a conscious change in tactics so a bridge can be built to "get you across the airgap" as it were.

It's a must read for any business strategist involved in new tech IMO.

"X hours problem"
------------------------------------
...please put "DASH was instamined and this many coins were mined in the first X hours" on the front page of your website, forum, and threads.

If you are going to take 100% responsibility of the instamine bug when your coin launched then please put "DASH was instamined and this many coins were mined in the first X hours" on the front page of your website, forum, and threads. You should have no problem advertising it since you are taking responsibility for it
---------------------------------------

First X hours 500 reward / block, then 50 reward/block
make a problem to some person.  
It is not reasonable changing from 500 to 50.
Accept it as instamine or premine. Then they will not argue about it.

I think if we want DASH to move toward the grown up world this discussion - any sort of engagement with the parrots regurgitating same old same old garbage - is moot.

In the grown up world, where you must disclose financial statements, have a business plan, disclaimers, risk factors (check out the FORM U-7, DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT as a part of the SCOR Form, used for private funding offerings; Rule 506 of Regulation D) in order to attract investors to your venture, Evan Duffield, as the Virtual Corporation CEO (or whatever) behind DASH already has a huge advantage: his real name and surname, his working history and ethic, his mind-boggling set of innovations. And Was The Instamine A Positive Thing For Dash? (https://dashdot.io/alpha/?page_id=118) is all that is needed regarding this particular issue. (it also serves as a perfect disclaimer)

His invention also has a market cap value that is multiple of that of any startup begging for angel investments or venture capital and he does have several hundred or thousands of eligible class "A" shares investors (i.e. investors to Masternodes; I can't know how many individuals hold all these MN for many are multiple MN holders)

He is way up on the scale an investor uses to measure a serious business. So whomever supports DASH should start thinking about the real world, outside of our lunatic fringe niche and push toward realization of the greatest idea humanity has seen, when financial world is in question. Let me reiterate, if one reads Debt: The First 5,000 Years by anthropologist anarchist David Graeber (also one of the key figures in the Occupy Wall Street movement, thusly a perfect "target" for any and all DASH related promotional activities) he or she would better understand that all the money, throughout the history, was made out of debt. Money as we know it is essentially debt.

DASH is not created out of debt, on the contrary, it is a math based thingy, inflation free (or at least inflation is predictable) that can function better (safer, on a long distance as well) than cash and therefore, capable of enabling the humans to live more humane life than this one we all live under the tyranny of the Financial Crime Cartel and the war-machine that keeps the FCC alive.

This is, indeed, a grown up game, what we strive to achieve.

However, we can't live in a vacuum of a geek-geniuses limbo or spend our time (energy) squabbling with kindergarten kids spewing garbage here (so-called "trolls") for we want a "real world adoption." Well, the real world is confused and confusing enough without any need for X11, isntamine, wallet, keys or any other crypto geek-speak. People never understood how Netscape worked, and even now, I guarantee you, 99% of the people have no clue what the HTML stands for but are now "enjoying" Chrome (or FF, it does not matter) as they browse the Net anyway.

The underlying genius of DASH technology is here to stay. Well, will it stay in the future tech museum of genial discoveries that never took off onto the real world or not, does not depend, I suspect, on Evan and the developers, it depends on all of us. We were given a unique opportunity to be a part of something big, no matter it flaws, but let us fix these flaws for these are mostly coming from us, the community. We are not as good as the product / invention / genius / token / asset we swear to love and support and have faith in, so we need to step up our work. Fuck these idiots and useless bickering; let us see how to advance this thingy.

I offered several avenues to ponder, from Zoran's art to the IPO and would like to hear opinions, suggestions (like that about key - AHC possibility when resolvign DASH to cash, fiat cash that is, dilemma) and than we can see how to move forward. Evan and the guys might have the money to sustain their work, MN funding would help, but if the price keeps lingering or the DASH would come under a serious attack - no matter who the "attacker" or "attackers" might be - and the price drops it might not survive. That's the nature of the beast.

There are great initiatives already. Ambassadors, Foundation, Virtual Corporation, so let us, all of us, be more concrete in our efforts to strengthen DASH. So, I pledge 50 DASH (at today's price, so $120.00 toward the Zoran Art - Evan's (or a reputable surrogate) trip to Croatia DASH / Crypto EXHIBITION if anyone would bother to try do something about it. That's already 10% of the airfare, coming from one person... so let me see Zoran coming back with the plan, dates, space for it and let us move forward. If he cares only about selling his stuff through the lottery, thus using this community for his enrichment (or to put kulen on his table, screw it, splawik knows artists in Warshaw or elsewhere in Poland for sure

Other than that, I propose EXPLORATION COMMITTEES for several venues -- with the approval of the key people - one to see how to go about:

-- ISO 4217 Currency Codes and prepare a document re: what's needed to achieve a status of a currency, if possible at all;
-- A DashPay & DasBase like thingies. When I looked at the last budget proposal (October, https://dashtalk.org/threads/october-2015-budget-proposal.6234/page-2#post-68212) I saw a $2,500.00 for the design. Well, my designer is a genius, a multiple winner of Summit International Creative Award who could do it for $750.00 and save us the money, but the structure of deciding is not prefect yet and I do not want to "push" her talent given how we humans are but that side, I think we'd have to have a set of proposals (for building such structure, like DashPay) with several bids, open for everyone to see and offer their opinion etc., etc., etc., because all of this would strengthen the project as it goes toward the grown up world.

When I write any of this I have only one real problem with it. Evan is smarter than me and he - given his background in finance and his deliberate pace forward - might have thought about everything (promotion, adoption, IPO...) more deeply than I ever would, so this would than my own thinking render moot as well. (if he has a set of concrete steps that are coming our way)

But the bottom line is this - let us discuss what we can DO instead of bickering with the morons. It is time to leave the kindergarten behind.

So why do you feel this is the most important thing/feature/bug/property of DASH?

Is it because coins being mined faster in the beginning means lower inflation now and in the future therefor lower risk of dilution for a new investor? You being familiar with Monero might make you appreciate that aspect.

Or if you think fast mining in the beginning and the low prices during the first weeks it caused allowed some people to gain large positions and if still having those positions thus having a great incentive to see the project succeed that should be a plus as well?

lol lol lol
i can imagine how regretful and unlucky those arrogant btc repliers must feel nowadays for not having taken evan's proposal seriously then. But, poor guys, as it is usual with arrogant people, they cannot see anything but a mirror in front of their cute faces...
lol lol lol

Inspirational.

(Keep them coming !)

Let your own leader speak for the answer to "Why should he do so?"
