a friendly warning to Cryptopia Exchange

As I said earlier then. All to the best to you and the exchange good sir.

EDIT: Btw, I wasn't using the other people do it so its okay mentality. I am just saying you need to open your eyes as too whats really going on with the whole altcoin community. Its a very toxic place.

Sir...I would kindly suggest that forum members within this forum ARE NOT Foundation representatives or DASH devs!  If you truly are an exchange operator...bringing out concerns you have with free independent "community" members in a unmoderated forum is NOT the professional way of handling your concerns and not the suggested way of dealing with this matter, again in MY OPINION.

EDITED:  In reading your response...it seems your judging DASH currency by a users actions?  Thats like judging gold or fiat cash as bad because some sicko uses it for child porn?!?  That is NOT rational.

Hello Sir/Madame,

I'm not certain if this is a jest or not....Members of DASH "community" are NOT Foundation Members/Devs nor represent DASH.  I would find your actions of de-listing a currency due the behavior of what appears to be one member rather interesting.   "Community" members are free to behave as the wish as does everyone else on these forums...IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE nor of the Foundation or Developer Team.  

The DASH "Community" itself has been  under trolling attacks from all sorts of coins...INCLUDING COIN Developers.

It is irresponsible to your own members and crypto community at large to "de-list" a currency over the reasons you've stated above.  In my opinion...reaching out here or on our official forum dashpay.io and reaching out the foundation or the dev team to explain your communities issue with these DASH "community" members would have been the professional course of action, in my opinion.  Also your assessment of DASH and is core values and what we stand for is insulting in the least and down right silly.  No rogue "community" members define a currency, that is rubbish.  IMHO.

^^ Well i can give you a list of other coins with "toxic" communities that you can delist as well.

See you later champ, all the best!

Word getting about...

Just to clarify, I think it is great that they got funding as a Decentralized Market project I think that is the only way to really implement it and I am rooting for them. Would love to see a Dash integration to OpenBazaar.

The key thing for me here is that to really develop and formalize a project you need funds, you can't depend solely on voluntary contributions beyond a certain point.  Maybe that was the case for Bitcoin at the very beginning because they were the only game in town, but that is not the case anymore. There are hundreds of crypto related projects being actively developed at the same time, between companies, services, altcoins, etc.  

So in my opinion attracting talent and resources besides those you can find in the very early adopters that are probably willing to volunteer, and even that has limits, requires having funds that are dedicated to the project itself.

Because then you can give coins to people in exchange for the services the network needs and even people that  are getting involved at a later stage of the project have motivation to contribute. Also once you have funds you can operate in the real world and contract companies and services that you may need that do not relate to software e.g. legal services, advertising services, partnerships, etc.

I honestly think that is the biggest hurdle to any altcoin project and I am excited to see what the direction we decided to take in Dash brings. In Dash case, the thing I like the most is not only that we found a way for everyone to reinvest evenly into the project to support the growth of the ecosystem but that at the same time it is done in a way where the decisions are made in a decentralized way where anyone can participate without even knowing each other in real life and in proportion to the risk they are taking.

The Dash decentralized governance model is a wonderful solution to that issue that makes it easy for people of different backgrounds and from different locations and jurisdictions to interact in a practical way. We already proved it works in a very alpha stage by voting on the creation the system.  

It will give us a clear edge in a very competitive market as everyone will have to deal with the reality of needing funding and organized decision making to grow beyond a certain point.

Is that a three stanza poem?

Interesting.

You mispelled Neckbeards

Strangely enough, there's a popular My Little Pony called Rainbow Dash.


Hmm, I think we've found our Dash crypto representative for the little ones. The Ronald McDonald of crypto, if you will.

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

I totally agree with you
they are, as everybody else,
taking the pu..y way out = accepting outside funding and losing their independence eventually
but
it is still a great project, drugs or not
 

well the idea is to implement Dash there
we have a Dev who is looking and working on this since quite a while
he obviously stopped working as there was nothing going on
but perfect timing to revive that
 

Edit 1:
they are on top of my (personal) list since a long time
we need Dash usage in a project like that
real world usage
and great PR all around

Edit 2: (there might be more coming)
i am NOT looking for some google search Drug Market (nonsense)
a legit "Open Bazaar" with anything you want to buy or sell
will just do the job

Yes, that's a great point. ^^^ That's why I love the direction this coin is headed. We will make our own decisions, we only need to answer to ourselves, and we will keep the core vision intact throughout, without needing to compromise it to get funding.

Great times are ahead!

I think the fact that they are getting funding means that there is a realistic chance that the project will be completed and released in an initial working version.  I also think it means they will have to make concessions and comply with regulation so most likely OpenBaazar will have to have restrictions of some sort for illegal goods.

The fact that it will be developed opens the possibility to eventually adding Dash to it, in the past they expressed they were willing to accept it if we did the work.  But honestly I think that everything changes in that project now that investors are involved it will really depend on what are the conditions of that funding and not really on what the original developers wanted.   What is clear is that they would not have been able to continue with no funds and also that with the funds they are getting come compromises.

That is why again our new budgeting and voting system is so important, if you want to retain independence and freedom to innovate and go in the direction you feel is best for the project you need to be self sustainable.

New money into the space is always good. Even if they were to turn OpenBazaar into a market for ponies and rainbows, we'd have kids learning about crypto
