The Question from
@TanteStefana is actually pretty smart.
MNO who participate in the voting - process via dashcentral.org aren't anonymous anymore.
The serverowners of dashcentral know who voted how....
at least for the users who joined the discussion.
So the Dif has access to MNO votes right?
And all of the 3 other DIF Supervisors have access to MNOs too.
So: They know how they have voted each other, from another.....
and the others don't know.
So how you will vote @Sven ?
It looks like you fundamentally misunderstand a lot of things about what the DIF is and how it operates.
So the Dif has access to MNO votes right?
No, of course we do not.
And all of the 3 other DIF Supervisors have access to MNOs too.
If they happen to know some privately, maybe. If they are one themselves, then they'll know at least one. But we do NOT have some sort of general "access to MNOs". I don't even know if the other supervisors are MNOs or not. These are private matters and outing anyone, even if only among ourselves, has never been part of our internal discussions.
They know how they have voted each other, from another
No, we know as much as you do about voting behavior. We could scour mnowatch.org for hours to try and make some inferences, but we have better things to do. At least I do.
The serverowners of dashcentral know who voted how
They could probably link some MN addresses to DashCentral usernames. But to get commenting rights, you could be one of three groups:
1) a proposal owner (e.g. the DIF does not operate any MNs, but we have posted proposals)
2) an old user who registered before they implemented the restriction.
3) verified MNO, but you only have to prove control over one MN one time. If you own multiple MNs, DashCentral won't know unless you tell them. If you sold your MN and aren't actually a MNO anymore, DashCentral won't know unless you tell them. If you moved funds to a new MN, i.e. change the MN address, DashCentral won't know unless you tell them.
Long story short, DashCentral may have a bit more insight than the rest of us, but despite what its name says, they are NOT a central repository for all MN votes and their associated MNO identities
The main Task of the DIF is to outperform the
One-year government bond
, thats it.
IDK where you take that from, but nowhere has it ever been stated that the DIF's main task is to outperform one-year government bonds. That doesn't even make any sense.
The DIF itself isn't traded anywhere so it can't be compared to any bonds.
The DIF doesn't operate on a one-year time horizon, that woud make our work impossible.
If you meant the DIF should control the Dash price to beat government bonds, you may be surprised to learn how little influence on the Dash price we have. Our goal has never been to be some sort of market maker or to manipulate the market in some way. The limited amount of liquid funds we have available won't move the needle on the price anyway,
We have been operating on a mission to make Dash more usabie, expand the ecosystem, find new use cases, which hopefully will lead to more usage and with that ultimately to a higher price. We may also have profitable exit opportunities that give us more leverage. But many many factors influence price, most of which are out of our control. Our mission has been communicated since long before I joined. Of course you can feel free to steer the DIF into a completely different direction as supervisor, but don't be disappointed if you do come in and don't find any secret voting conspiracy or a magic "make number go up" button.
Of course totally anonymous ... that nobody has the insentive to google and gather more information about these bots and there digpics on the internet.....

You definitely cannot say there is currently "no use" in the first world for useable and uncensorable sound money. But you may be right that there is more need for it and more of a chance for it to become adopted in third world areas or economically isolated countries. 
Are you aware of the past disappointments Dash has had from investing and granting funds to places like Venezuela? We should be very careful about allocating ANY of the DIF's funds into risky hopes for adoption to arise without having a solid understanding of how to succeed in those places. How confident do you feel about succeeding in investing in the third world, and how would you measure success? Which would matter more for a DIF investment opportunity: making profit, or gaining adoption and growing a local Dash economy?
