well said! things will have to get a lot worse before people wake up

Why did Darkcoin change its name to Dash?

What is "dire" about the "situation"?  The countries, the corporations and Donald Trump have gone bankrupt and resurrected many times in history. Some panic on financial markets would be overblown in the media to make a story out of it and further scare the population that has zero investments anyway and that's it.

European Union (it's fiscal side) was ridiculous to begin with and it will fall apart for it's beyond unnatural to put countries like Greece or Romania into the same fiscal union with Germany. It was a nice experiment that robbed the people in more fucked up countries blind and made the Overlords and their cronies richer than ever. All this prolonged Greek hysteria is like any other prolonged hysteria, be it endless wars, Super Bowl or fill in the blanks and serves only one purpose: that of distraction and fear.

A debt that can't be paid back will not be paid back. Greek will default as it should have years ago, today or in another decade, as well as Italy, Portugal etc., until the domino effect reaches America and it defaults in its own way. (through a new war, creating more fiat out of nothing, or whatever thieving trick de jour they'll conceive at the appropriate moment)

And if "they" oppress us even more than now - using EURO demise and it consequences as an excuse -- well, "they" are already oppressing and robbing us and I'd welcome any negative outcome. Only hungry peasants rebel; a full belly does not induce a revolution.

Fuck them all.

So, I admit, I am not watching any news anymore, LOL.  I try to remember to look at what's up online, but I tend to go toward the science and technology sections, so I wasn't aware until this afternoon when I heard it on the radio, that the Feds were hacked and all Federal employees, past and present, have had their IDs, SS#s and personal information stolen.  This information wasn't even encrypted.  And they want to protect US with regulation?  Really?  And there is a possibility that all USA citizen's information was taken, not just the 2-4 million Federal employees.

And think about that.

2-4 million Federal employees.

That's just the FED.  That doesn't include state and city employees, etc...  I wonder what percentage of Americans work for the government in one form or another?  I was a city employee myself.  

Ah, internet to the rescue.  It's currently about 7% of ALL Americans that work for the government.  Don't you feel safe?  It's been as high as 7.5%.  And they can't even keep our information safe.  Really?

I know I'm late here, but I just heard this one.... and now I have to wonder if the Chinese know all about me and my family.  Not that I'd be of interest to them, but still, what an invasion of privacy!

Looks to me like we will be back at $3 Dash pretty soon

for some more info about the current Greece Debt crisis.  

edit 1 : weird, this article just changed into a subscriber-view-only article.

edit 2 : lets just say the situation is dire at the moment, very very dire.

Problem is that I don't think we will EVER get the Bitcoin Core developers to give us the time of day.

I'm just gonna go ahead and quote this and respond like so.

And yup there we go. There it is. Just in case you didn't catch it the first time.

*edit
I figured I should comment on the article content because coingun makes a great point. I agree that it would be a good idea to aim the focus on getting wider acceptance from the cryptography/developer community.  I don't want to spoil the article by giving away his ideas but I must agree with the train of thought.

Let's talk Blockchain Proposal Thoughts. Here are mine.

What are you on about?  One of hundreds of community members of DASH, one was rude on another thread and suddenly we're all horrible?  If you could only look back at all the trolling we've had to put up with, and still have to put up with, you would see that most of us have been more than patient, mature and even kind.  We've even had other coin developers themselves come here to troll.   Most of us ignore the trolls, try to be polite and are hear because we love the idea of Crypto succeeding.  The DASH developers are the most up and up in the crypto coin space.  I can't help what other people do, but I suspect our friend lost it for some reason I don't understand.  He's a great guy, but sometimes he sees things differently and can become rabidly protective of DASH.  Usually, when someone has a chance to give him another perspective, he comes around.  We're all communities of people from all walks of life and all dispositions.  Forums are easy targets to let off steam, which is unfortunate, because when you do, it can bite you in the ass.

As far as threatening you and your children, I didn't see that anywhere.  Where did that come from?

Edit:  Oh, arielbit is a troll who is on my ignore list.  So is Adam White.

Edit2:  Kyle was a good friend of Evan's and helped him start Darkcoin.  Unfortunately, he was a loose canon.  I actually hope they're still friends, but that's none of our business.  The comment from Light was NOT a threat, but rather an admonishment that a person with a family should act more maturely.  Adam white is quoting out of context and just stirring up issues that happened a year ago (an incident where Kyle was a bit obnoxious on the official twitter account).  That is part of our ancient history again.  Give me a break....!
