No but your history is very relevant to your views and considering you've been spamming Dash threads crying "scam" for a few years now it's worth noting that you've been called a scammer in the past and you've done way more to earn the tittle than anyone you're attacking here. Scams means victims and you've been asked time and time again to point out Dashes supposed victims, all you've come up with is dodges and evasion.
Face it icey, Dash is way ahead and all you've got to offer is FUD, anyone doing the research is blown away by Dashes advances and all you have to offer is your same few lines spammed over and over at anything innovative, you're cancer to all crypto icey and you know it.
How about a challenge? You obviously aren't capable of breaking any of Dashes features you claim are broken so we'll make it a bit simpler. Dash has a fine track record of overdelivering so let's see how many of the things in these posts by Evan get delivered on:
Fiat access ramps development will be prioritized by the core team over PR and advertising during the next few months, starting in March. With certain small exceptions like Dash Chinese promotion in tandem with 8BTC.
For the next few months we will be focusing in partnerships, integrations and open source tools development that will facilitate better access to DASH and more options for user services to clear transactions on. Starting in March “public-awareness” budget funds are dedicated to this purpose as this is higher priority than advertising for the core team at the moment. Also, a series of back end open source tools will be made available for anyone looking to offer Dash services.
Budget prioritization, 12.1 and budget reset
The new 12.1 release will introduce new contracts functionality to DGBB. This version should be on testnet within the next month. When it is released into the mainnet all existing budgets will be cleared as part of the updating process and will need to be voted back in, on the new version.
At that point in time both the core-team and public-awareness budget proposals will be over and the core team will request new funding under a different model. We are currently working on it and more information will be released before 12.1 goes to the mainnet.
This is important to answer the question of why we are redirecting the public-awareness funds to build fiat access ramps instead voting down current proposals. The answer is, we will clear current core team proposals and will do it as part of the 12.1 release. This should give us enough time to finish preparing our new budget plan. In the meantime, the core project needs continuity so we kindly ask you to bear with us under the current model for 3 or 4 more months depending on testing results.
What are we working on?
Open Source - FIAT ACCESS RAMPS
The core team sees a need to strengthen direct FIAT access ramps to Dash in order to move into our next growth phase. We need to nurture the development of a rich ecosystem of user oriented applications.
Different user oriented applications are being created for Dash, like crypto ATMs, point of sale solutions, payment gateways, etc. Nevertheless we are currently missing one fundamental layer - all these user applications need more liquid and better FIAT – DASH exchange services to clear on, including fixed price broker services, instant FIAT exchange, bid/ask FIAT exchanges, etc.
Exchanges are part of the basic infrastructure of the crypto economy, they can be thought about as public infrastructure. Without proper FIAT exchange services is harder for an asset to be independent and find a proper valuation.
Major FIAT exchanges are primarily interested in adding assets that already have high volume and high market cap and are less willing to support projects through their growing phase. So after an asset has established itself on all the major altcoin exchanges there is a gap. We are left with a catch 22 situation, not high enough volume for the large FIAT exchanges to open a trading pair and in need of safe and proper FIAT exchanges to grow and raise our volumes to where they would be interesting to larger exchanges and institutional investment. Also, legacy exchanges do not seem to have the intention to support a safer multi-sig user experience in the short term.
Because of this Dash is partnering with well reputed Bitcoin service operators to create proper FIAT Exchange services for DASH that are trustless, open source and built with the end user in mind. For this we are funding development of a suite of backend tools and integrations that will enable DASH/FIAT trustless exchange in partnership with Deginner, Coinapult and CryptoCapital.
We have decided to redirect the public-awareness budget funds to building these access ramps for the next few months. All projects will have to be reset in more or less 3 months and all budget proposals will have to be taken out and then voted back into the new version, so we don’t want to go through this process twice. We also feel very strongly about this project and what it will represent for the Dash community
Safer FIAT Integration (CryptoCapital.co)
As part of this project, Dash will be integrated with CryptoCapital.co which is a fully licensed financial institution that allows each user to have their own private segregated fiat account. The funds that the user deposits to their own FIAT account can be made instantly available for trading on the exchange services. This is a key difference, the fact that each user will initially be sending money to themselves and then once those funds are available at CryptoCapital they can choose to move them to an exchange service and trade instantly.
Also besides exchange integration, CryptoCapital offers other services that will be available to Dash users too.
From their website:
“By providing each customer with their own private segregated fiat account, Crypto Capital is able to allow Approved Software Exchange Companies the ability to open an account with us, therefore allowing our Customers, Merchants, and Traders the ability to move Fiat Currency, USD, EUR, JPY, etc., in and out instantly within our accounts.
There will no longer be lag when transferring funds between a customer private fiat account with us and the exchange account. Any Crypto Currency sold on the exchange could be funded back directly to the customer's private account instantly and then these funds may be withdrawn from the account which can be accessed worldwide via a Visa Debit Card issued on behalf of the customer, or other traditional means of fund transfer, SEPA, EFT, ACH, Swift, etc.
A Private Individual/Corporate International Fiat account in your control.
Support for more than 30 different Fiat Currencies; USD, JPY, EUR etc. transact in your own currency.
The option for a Visa Debit Card with the ability to withdraw funds at any ATM worldwide, purchase goods and services on line and pay bills.
Several open Exchange platforms to convert Fiat Currency to any Crypto Currency and vice versa.
Corporate Merchant accounts for Companies that deal directly with the Crypto Currency economy and are in need for a Fiat Currency account to manage their own operations”
All of these services will be available for Dash users, merchants and service providers. For example, this will allow services like Node40 to have a safe and compliant way for users to move FIAT directly into running masternodes.
Coinapult Integration
As part of this project, Dash will be integrated to Coinapult. Coinapult is a Bitcoin wallet service provider. Coinapult offers online consumer and B2B services to a global market. It was founded in 2012 by Ira Miller and Erik Voorhees and was the first to offer bitcoin e-wallet services by email and SMS. In 2014, Coinapult was first to market with Locks, a service to help mitigate the price volatility of Bitcoin.
Ira Miller sold Coinapult in 2015 and remains an external advisor and provider of backend tools. Current CEO of Coinapult Gabriel Sukenik is leading the company to new frontiers, they recently integrated with Mycelium to offer Bitcoin locking services directly from the Mycelium app.
Coinapult will be integrating Dash to all of their existing services which include fully convertible USD accounts for DASH. Dash will be the first crypto-currency, other than Bitcoin, to be added to this service.
More partners are expected to join this consortium over time. For example, Mycelium is already integrated with Coinapult. With Dash’s being added to Coinapult too, that brings us one step closer to convertible to USD mobile accounts.
Open Source Backend Tools Development
In order to make these partnerships and integrations possible, Deginner will develop the following open source tools for DASH.
· Multi-sig wallet and cosigner hosting (e.g. Deglet, Copay)
· Broker (e.g. Coinapult, Shapeshift)
· Bid/Ask exchange
· Traditional financial services (e.g. Crypto Capital, Vogogo)
· Market makers and liquidity providers
Multi-sig Wallet
A multi-signature wallet with client side key storage. Designed for white-labelling, the multi-sig wallet serves as the basis for a number of user interfaces, including the exchange. Built using React.js, the wallet will be ready to be transformed from a web app into a native app for Android, iOS, as well as a browser extension for Chrome or Firefox. It is the swiss army knife of cryptocurrency app development.
Cosigner
An automated cosigning service, this compliments the multi-sig wallet, Trustless Exchange, and other multi-signature features. Cosigning can be configured to meet custom criteria, such as request format, IP address, 2fa approval, and more.
Broker
Dash has specifically requested a broker service similar to Coinapult or Shapeshift. This will be available as an add-on to exchange, and can be made extremely low-trust from the first day of operations. Transactions will go in and out at almost the same time, but in between the broker will have temporary custody of funds. A fully trustless broker will be developed after the trustless exchange is complete.
Bid/Ask Exchange
Starting with at minimum a Dash-enabled fork of the stable wlox, the consortium will guarantee constant operation of a trustworthy exchange with a USD/DASH pair. This exchange will be integrated with banking partners, and include professional operators.
Planned for launch at the end of Q2 2016, the exchange will be a complete fresh start from wlox. The UI will be a custom fork, with the client-side key storage that entails. The exchange engine will automatically integrate with Crypto Capital, Coinapult, and others.
Tentatively planned for launch in Q4 2016, the next evolution will be a Trustless Exchange. In this version, the exchange will never have full custody of any funds, and will only host the orderbook and cosign. Both sides of the trade will be performed user to user, with each willing to trust the transaction instantly because of the exchange's cosigning. In the case of receiving Dash, InstantX will make this even easier, but the other party still needs instant trust verification.
Market Maker
Deginner's various trade bots and services will be put to work on Dash's exchange. These will ensure liquidity and a populated orderbook at all times. By default, they will initially keep roughly $10k at a time into the bots. Larger volume guarantees are possible with additional fees.
Investment
Total investment for this project is $ 42,500 USD, denominated in dollars and payable in Dash in monthly installments . The exchange rate USD/DASH will be taken on the day of each payment. This means that if the Dash prices goes up we would pay less Dash and if it goes down we would pay more Dash but the investment in USD will remain the same.
Not For Profit / No Transaction Fees
The operation of the exchange itself will be not-for-profit. Users will be charged no fees per transaction. Partners will make money through the fees they charge for FIAT deposits and withdrawals.
PERSONAL ACCOUNT
Minimum External Deposit or Withdraw $100
https://cryptocapital.co/fees.htmlOther Benefits
All of the tools listed in the Open Source Backend Tools Development paragraph, will be put to use in the integration of Dash to the different partnering services, but will also come with the additional benefit that all tools are fully open source. Thanks to this any new crypto service that wants to use them or fork them to support Dash will be able to do so. We will have the reference exchange as a guaranteed result of the project but will also have the possibility of reusing these tools for other services in the future.
Current Status
Deginner has begun work, starting at the outside of the market and working in toward the center. The first stage (today) is connecting to the existing infrastructure by building standardized exchange clients. These are already being put to use in market making and trading bots, which will increase Dash's volume and orderbook depth. After the majority of the Dash market is covered by trading bots, a master bot will aggregate their volume and information into the fixed-price exchange service. This service will be available via API, similar to shapeshift.io, and will, at first, support a minimum of USD, BTC, and DASH.
Aggressive Timeline Estimate:
Today - Poloniex market making
1 week - Poloniex + Exmo or bitrex market making
2 weeks - Exmo, bittrex, and poloniex market making
3 weeks - unified Dash market bot
4 weeks - Dash broker service alpha
6-8 weeks - Dash broker service public beta
8-10 weeks - Integrate users of Dash broker service, like Lamassu operators
This project will also be supported by a formal contract, we are currently working on the details, should be signed and published within the next 30 days.
Additional Projects
Integration to AlphaPoint
As a result of the Satoshi Rountable we started conversations with Alphapoint. AlphaPoint is a white label exchange platform that provides a proprietary closed source exchange platform to different exchange operators around the world.
We have come to an agreement with AlphaPoint to add Dash support to their platform, this will make Dash easily available to all their exchange operators if they wanted to add a Dash pair to their exchanges. Alphapoint would notify their operators about the new Dash availability
This integration has a cost of $7500.00 USD
