yes I agree Tante. my first impression from reading their argument is like Bitcoin has been around for a few years and these guys have become settled and are just arguing like every backroom coder in any corporation trying to 'prove' he is smarter than the other guy. there's no early-stage passion driving it and making snap decisions and they don't get that being negative and not reaching consensus on decisions hurts them both and seem oblivious to the wider market (they don't seem to feel any urgency of competition). just what it looks like. I agree to we don't want this for Dash, I hope Evan stays on long term and voices what he thinks is best even with the voting system because founders are always a lot better than people who join later (founders are the entrepreneurs not the employees right).
Yes, hopefully Dash will eventually be pretty much set, where it is automatically scalable and any other functions can be added on via the proposal system. Luckily, Evan is a known person (or unluckily for him, LOL) We can always find him and get him to help direct the coin if needed. He may eventually want to do other things, start other projects, but he's a thoughtful and known person that can always be reached for guidance when needed
yes i'm sure he will. secret to leadership is delegation anyway and Evan is doing everything right it seems to found the project and create a path to letting it grow through the later stages itself and depend less on his involvement which is what every founder should do. Seems like Bitcoin left this out of the plan. I hope Dash gets on with adoption soon, adding lots of services and ways to pay with Dash and buy Dash with fiat for the average user, and all of that should be wired with instant transactions and they should be dirt cheap to do (the default even). Looking at Dashtalk, you have to click 2 pages away from the homepage to even find merchants and can't see any easy way for merchants to learn how to integrate Dash - this should be on the homepage and need to get Dash out there. I get Dash is still early stage but it might need to grow up quick if Bitcoin isn't going to start winning on mass adoption because the wider market is going for mobile payments like Apple pay etc and all cryptos are competing with that now, i'm in Dash because I think it's the project that can achieve this, and i feel less like that about Bitcoin after reading the devs argue. it will be interesting anyway
I know at least one person who is waiting for the proposal system to launch an amazing sounding campaign. I'm sure there are others, but it's all hush hush until v12 is stabilized and running
We will also have our first professional video out which will be launched as part of the "roll out" campaign with a press release. September / October will be very exciting for Dash! Beware everyone!And if marketing funds can be put to use by that point, it could be even bigger. Even if it takes until January 2016 to begin a long term marketing plan, nobody else will be able to touch what we'll be able to do. We can actually start reaching out to the average person! I'm sorry to sound insubordinate, but we will quickly overcome Bitcoin, we'll be better known, and more functional and begin actually servicing people's needs (not just a place to "invest") And there will be no looking back. Why? Because we have funding from the blockchain which will fund marketing like no other project before.
