I've engaged this individual for my own personal amusement...I do apologize to the community as there are many that don't find it amusing. Thanks afbitcoins.
On to some positive news...99% of the DASH treasury was used to fund rain panchos, Max Keiser RVs, and scams like GeneralBytes' ATM this month....and our Masternode Ponzi scheme victim count has nearly matched our ATH.
I appreciate your efforts bigrcanada, it was just as much a note to myself as to others. But some good points from Amanda to try and remember.
I doubt BigR bothered to click through to the article you linked. He's not really into reading comprehension, much less changing behavior based on learning from mistakes. Misconduct is literally a point of pride for him.
Thanks for bringing up that article; Amanda's best analysis is this bit:
Bigrcanada1 even goes so far as to try to draw attention to iCEBREAKER himself. Bigrcanada1 tries to call him out and “make him fear doxing and subsequent retribution” in the hopes that this will dis-incentivize iCEBREAKER from reporting facts about Dash's fraudulent Instamine and governance theater in the future.
On the whole, retaliating against whistleblowers doesn’t fix Dash's problem of being exiled from the Top 10 coins. It doesn’t help Evolution be less than 2.5 years behind schedule. It doesn’t write DIPs, or get any new whitepapers or code the benefit of peer review.
It’s ugly thuggery, and that’s all it is.
If there were such a person as
Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash and if I were that person (which I’m not), my instruction to my employees would be this:
“Spend your time belligerently doxing and stalking for Dash as frequently as you think it wise to spend your time drinking strong whiskey.”
Because everyone likes a guy who can cut loose and have some fun at the right times. But no one likes a threatening, potentially violent drunk.
DashHoles like BigR are furiously angry and unbearably bitter because their project is *STILL* based on Bitcoin v12, which is ancient history, while Bitcoin just released v16.
That puts Dash at an incredible 4 major releases behind Bitcoin Core, and it is highly unlikely Dash Core will ever be able to catch up to (much less overtake) the moving goalpost that is Bitcoin Core's latest release.No wonder the temptation to indulge in doxing+retribution is too strong to resist.
While Dash fumbles around funding scams like the GeneralByes ATM fiasco, other coins knock out actual concrete deliverables.
Decred is doing everything Dash should have done years ago. There's no excuse for Dash losing its lead to projects that actually deliver on their roadmaps.
I'll bet 1BTC that Decred delivers these new features before the first real transaction on Evolution.
Decred has continued with its approach of generating deliverables before hyping them, despite many other projects in the space continuing to relentlessly hype their work far in advance of generating deliverables or focusing on exchange listings in lieu of doing any substantive work.
Politeia Voting
The core of our proposal system, Politeia, was recently completed, and we are adding support for voting. Politeia can be described succinctly as a git repository that is timestamped by the Decred chain and uses cryptographic attribution to create accountability for all participants - users and admins alike. Having superior accountability means that proposals, comments, votes and admin actions in Politeia will not suffer from the opaque censorship that has become increasingly common amongst many major tech companies and their websites. Once voting support is complete, Politeia will be tested on testnet and then deployed on mainnet. After Politeia is up on mainnet, we will use it to discuss and fund new proposals, set budgets and to make ongoing payments with stakeholder approval. It is worth noting that voting on Politeia will be restricted to stakeholders whose tickets are live in the ticket pool at the time a vote is called for a given proposal.
Decentralized Control of Funds
The final step to complete the decentralization of our dev org will be decentralizing control of its funds. Prior to formal control being decentralized, disbursements of funds will be subject to “soft” decision making via Politeia. Rather than taking the approach used in Ethereum, which involves 100s or 1000s of lines of Solidity code, we will create a succinct smart contract that allows Decred stakeholders to vote on the disbursements on-chain and release the funds.
Decentralized Autonomous Entities
The method for decentralizing control of the dev org funds will be generalized to support user-created entities that we refer to as decentralized autonomous entities (“DAEs”). Since the main distinguishing point of a corporate entity relative to an individual is ownership and control of funds and assets, we will use decentralized control of funds as the basis for DAEs within Decred. We will focus less on the speculative component of tokenization and more on the fundamental mechanics of making it work since tokenization creates several serious scalability issues, which have led to substantial congestion on the Ethereum chain. In short, a DAE will be comprised of a simple on-chain smart contract that delegates control over funds in the contract to a group of individuals.
