Topic: [DASH] Dash - Building the IoM | Dash Nation Progress Thread - page 15. (Read 41794 times)

Good afternoon, folks.

Thank you toknormal for those informative infographics.

Dash developer Andy Freer is the dev who is responsible for Evolution coding. It is an exciting task, as he will be able to enjoy the fruits of his labors when digital cash becomes widespread due to Evolution's ease of use.

But is that Andy's motivation? He puts it into his own words here:

To Progress. To Optimism. To Decentralized Technology. To Dash.

#DashNation #IoM

Masternodes are owned by people, which means the distribution of power, fees, or whatever else you morons layer on them can't be distributed in a trustlessly decentralized way, but nice attempt to muddy the waters using the same semantics that separate a premine from an instamine. So you are now admitting that ownership isn't decentralized, but you can technically claim that the masternodes are? Or am I misreading your shillspeak? I don't have trouble reading Sylvia Plath or Nietzsche, but half-truths dressed up as technical jargon are a little under my pay-grade, so maybe you could just say it like a normal person and not one trying to hide something.

That was quite an entertaining read actually.

By the way - math may be reliable. The technology that implements it may not be.


Masternodes are not distributed amongst people. There is no association between a masternode and a person any more than there is with Bitconi nodes. (Unlike mining where a miner can load up a different version of the code and therefore influence a potential change in the actual network protocol itself to the extent of their contributed hashpower).

A person may hold a private key to a blockchain address which a masternode checks (for collateral) in order to make sure it should be running.

There is some association as far as spending a proportion of the blockchain reward though - in terms of a collateral holder being able to vote.

And I won't lose any sleep knowing that building a cryptosystem using the trust model is just layering (unnecessarily so) the same BS that inspired people like Satoshi to invent Bitcoin--unless you're saying you can't trust Bitcoin's coinbase either, are you?

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would trust you and Evan's defenders not to have instamined 30%, kept it, and used the rewards to buy more masternodes--but what really confuses me is why the people who would be dumb enough to trust a bunch of cryptoanarchist's posers wouldn't just use one of the many trust systems that banks and software companies will be advertising with established brands and decades, if not centuries, of experience--my guess is that your plan is to attempt to be just cryptoanarchist enough to fool early adopters who will be reading posts like this and say the exact thing I'm saying, "This is about the biggest pile of BS in the cryptosphere. How does anyone fall for this shit?"

But keep on throwing decentralized and Satoshi's dream out there--though I'm fairly certain that you are only netting near sighted speculators with that bait, and anyone who manages to do the least bit of due diligence is swimming for better waters. BTW, does Amanda realize her reputation is being used as bait? Maybe you should warn her Tok or do really believe your slight-of-hand buzzworded info-graphics meant to wow the dull witted, the research handicapped, or theoretically challenged? I mean, "If it's in an info-graph, it must be true? Right?"

Also, did you just give up on trying to prove that there isn't a trustless way to verify dash's masternode distribution? Let me guess, you're gonna try to say that a way that can be easily gamed by market manipulation proves that the nodes are being sold, the same false flag logic that you used to say the instamine was redistributed? Isn't that how it works? "See this graph of coins being sold and masternodes disappearing, which proves that there's redistribution!" Sure it does, if we assume the instaminers are honest, that no one ever manipulates markets, that masternodes fees can't be leveraged for more masternodes while selling a percentage for profit--sure, if all those things work exactly the way you explain to noobs, then you can call dash decentralized--I'll be waiting for your usual misdirection and scatterbrained explanations.

Or maybe you can just ignore the neon elephant in the room waving sparklers and singing, "God save the King, Evan reign supreme, take my next of kin and what's left of my Liberty!"

Unfortunately, it can't.

But I'm quite happy for you to wallpaper the rest of this thread with the false assertion that it can if you like. The reason I won't loose any sleep over it is that there has never in history, zip, nada instance neither Roman time nor Dinosaur time been a case where obfuscation enhanced monetary properties rather than diminished them (for a base monetary token that is).

Nothing to do with "math".

But like I say. Be my guest

I like how he (conveniently) leaves out trustless and decentralized, which you need unless you're trying to create the exact same system cryptosystem were built to disrupt, not that there's anything wrong with that, just seems kind of pointless.

Also, Toky, if you  knew better, you'd realize that public blockchain can be replaced with coinbase and still hold true, unless you think math is voodoo or witchcraft.

That you made up. Nothing wrong with that of course. Just noticing.

In terms of sound money, looks like Dash is the most complete (and therefore ethical) after all !

Quelle surprise.

...here’s cryptonote’s.

Oops ! Killed the most valuable bit by turning it into an encrypted transport layer.

Never mind, there might still be a market for that

…here’s bitcoin’s effort.

Not bad - at least it gets its priorities right

Actually, I noticed the other day that Dash is about as perfect as it gets when it comes to supporting the three tenets of unbacked electronic cash.

As to ethics, there's nothing more ethical than promoting sound money

Good morning everyone.

I'd like to introduce one of the hardest working members of Dash Nation.

Alex-ru is a writer, A/V producer, and image creator. He's contributed to Dash in very creative ways despite being from Russia, where the government is taking a dim view of users of cryptos.

From the Dash ANN:




Anyone who wants some rad Dash wallpaper, look no further. Alex is a great guy, and an asset to Dash.

Have a great day,

Tao (Dash Nation Campaign Founder)

Tone recently said he has a soft spot for Dash all the time. He only said that he has no favorite one.
Using ice's logic, monero is a Shitcoin as hell because he doesn't even say anything about it.

You see, I have problems with investing or even trading what I believe are scams. I don't want this kind of money.
You know what rats of this world say? Money does not stink. You just showed that you have no rules nor restraint in life. You are available to the highest bidder.
Well done and thanks for the words of truth about yourself.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind ! 

Tok, this is not my thread, it's Dash Nation's. Conduct yourself as you like, you've earned it. 

You and your band of detractors have done a fantastic job "controlling" the narrative about Dash for the last two years. Tone Vays is a perfect example of your hard work and dedication to spin and innuendo paying dividends. Kudos!

Unfortunately, that control you've enjoyed is over now. The Dash team are taking our identity back from here on out. That's progress.

You have inspired me, and now I'm going to inspire others to join Dash Nation and create a passion around progress, optimism and decentralized technology.

You're welcome to hang out for the ride...

Well, just shows you...there's something for everyone in this thread.

Tao is very friendly - friendlier than me. I'm not even allowed to criticise other coins in here

...well, "progress" at least for anyone desperately trying to scoop up a new quote they can recycle for the next 6 months cos their troll fodder's so stale

Progress is moving from gullible bagholder that believes in "accidental" instamines to well-informed scam-savvy investor.

Here's a great example of progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3221&v=6u6aA0vUKOQ

"Now that I know more about the instamine...I'm no longer a fan of Dash" said Tone Vays.
