Thanks for the review @Macrochip ! I reworked this some more as follows. 1. Simplified the wording here, but left the bit about Masternode incentives as I think it's an important benefit for Dash. 2. The Dash font (Montserrat Light) doesn't have bold or italic, at least not on the program I'm...

Looks like Bitcoin will fork again come November and will again demonstrate a lack of effective governance. I think it would be nice for Dash to demonstrate it's governance again. Given the price rise, one way might be for us to decide that we will switch to mDash as the default display for...

Here is a revised version of the infographic including many of the suggestions above. I'm warming up to @cherapple 's headline. "Stupid" is a bit informal, but so is the infographic format. Still open to suggestions. Here is version 2.

Thanks for the good suggestions everyone. @UdjinM6 - Can I say this? "Masternodes are selected randomly in a PrivateSend transaction and multiple mixing rounds are used. Even if an attacker controlled 25% of the Masternodes the odds of tracking a transaction through 8 rounds of mixing is less...

Well, I took a crack at the graphics myself using a tool at canva.com. Let me know what you think. Check for errors, please! Not sure why I can't paste the image in the post, but here's a link: DASH Misconceptions Infographic

Good questions, @Bitedge . Will try to address them below. Why should this expire at all? - A year from now DASH and the crypto world will be much different, Evolution will be out and we'll probably have other features we want to promote. Other coins are working on privacy features, etc. If...

OK, here is my first draft for content for a DASH misconceptions infographic. Would really be great to partner up with someone good at graphic design to help turn this into an actual infographic - my graphic design skills are rubbish! Still no word from @jarroyo here or on slack. Any...

Following feedback from the community, I have modified the proposal as follows: Changed contest prize to start at 125 DASH and then increase quarterly by 125 DASH up to a max of 500 DASH to make the contest more newsworthy throughout the year Changed contest duration to 12 months Removed...

The prize money doesn't have to be created first. I will probably change that part, though a few have suggested that I should keep it up front. Thanks for your suggestions, by the way.

That's one way to do it. I'm looking for something more viral, though. Something that will get traction outside of the "DASH echochamber."

@GrandMasterDash , do you have a good idea for a different incentive to get well known judges to participate or to increase the PR value of the proposal? We don't have to use a charitable contribution, but I am struggling with other ideas...

@Leonidas I like the idea of a prize that increases with time. I think it makes it more newsworthy as time goes on to talk about the increase in the prize. We could start at 125 DASH and then increase by 125 per quarter to end up with 500 DASH prize for the 4th quarter. Also, to clarify it is...

People pitch hedge funds all the time. If they like the pitch then of course they will follow up with their own research & due diligence. I imagine that there are hedge funds that are well aware of DASH and many that are not. In the industry where I work it's basically a duopoly so all the...

Regarding the bug bounty, @jimbursch was wondering the same thing above. This program should be viewed as a PR move, not a bug bounty.

DASH already has a nice infographic which does a great job of showing what DASH is all about. However, if you spend any time in forums or Reddit discussing DASH you hear the same misconceptions over and over and over. Most of these misconceptions are covered in the excellent sticky at the...

Hi @mastermined . Here's an update on the status so far. The last several days I've been reviewing comments to judge community support. I'd say it's generally more positive than negative. Not sure yet if it would have enough votes to pass. What's your read on this? Also, to move to a...

I was watching Brian Armstrong's Consensus address on youtube. They have a new product called Token that's like China's WeChat, but for the rest of the world and it handles crypto. Seems like a decent idea. Does DASH have anything planned to integrate with Token? What's the DASH strategy...

Update: So Mish did respond with some counterpoints. Won't get into all the details here, but suffice it to say his number #1 concern is still blockchain scaling. I referred him to the scaling paper twice, but can't tell if he took the time to read it. We'll have to leave him in the...

Yes, hedge funds can invest in crypto. The disadvantage of hedge funds is that one must be an accredited investor to invest in them. The upside is that hedge funds can invest in unregistered securities. This opens the door up to almost anything from real estate to artwork to complex...

I tire of the gold comparison, too. However, it's a comparison every smart noob needs to go through to be sold on crypto - I went through it for sure. As a "crypto ambassador" I to try to walk them through the gold argument patiently. To be honest, I'd rather deal with a serious gold...
