The other 87% could have prevented it but didn't. You would only need 3.1% of MNs to vote no to stop it if there were 13% yes. Before you are in with new numbers, I'm out. Good talk lol

@demo That just gave me a great idea. We can Code with Numbers™. Every line of the dash codebase can be put to a vote with multiple choice options, use proof of individuality to vote and the mode average prevails.

Firstly there was never going to be a deliverable from lamassu - lamassu was not the contractor. Secondly, the deliverable was supposedly met. Gitguild developed software that could be installed on lamassu machines, and they got it rolled out to a "network" of two whole ATM machines. 2 years of...

On an individual basis, no, but in the aggregate that is the effect that happens, because fewer people who are bad at evaluating ROI are able to invest as much as people who are good at evaluating ROI. Sports betting is another interesting case because free market prediction markets are also...

More predictive of what though? If we are predicting how many beans are in a jar (this is actually a measurement or observation, not a prediction), then perhaps the median one vote per invested person is superior. But if we are "predicting" which of two options will provide a higher ROI (a...

The issue I have here is the use of the term "predict" being applied to business decisions. Business decisions are not like predicting the outcome of a coin flip, or guessing how many fingers I am holding behind my back. There is a level of skill involved, and when there is a level of skill...

The point where the beans in a jar example breaks down though is the assumption that nobody knows what the correct answer is, or that no one is more likely to be closer to the correct answer than anyone else. The reason it works for the beans is that there is no relationship between someone's...

I'm not sure if I agree with the premise that there is a problem. Shareholders in companies don't get one vote per person, they get the number of votes that is proportional to their stake, and I think for good reason. We can't guarantee that every person with more at stake will make better...

It tells new potential independent all proposal owners to stay away from the treasury stash if they can't make a compelling case that they will deliver positive ROI for the network. I'm still in favor of proposal fee refunds though for proposals that achieve a positive yes/no ratio even if...

Your argument might be well articulated, but I can't take this seriously when your poll options are absurdly biased.

@kot & Team -- thanks for the quick turnaround on the video, very appreciated!

I think all altcoins got hit by the ICO bubble fear. Even though not all altcoins are ICO tokens.

We could take a page from Decred's playbook and create some very difficult puzzles with a big Dash prize at the end. They can be completely online & not locked into a physical location

I don't think putting out a press release painting Dash as a victim is a good idea. But if there is something that could be done to discourage well known people from making false or misleading statements about our project then I'm all ears.

Question: Being the first to market is very important in the crypto space, and I have been hearing a lot of questions about our development speed - eg., "When is Dash going to be added to this exchange?", "When is evolution going to be ready?",...etc. Can you identify any bottlenecks in Dash's...

Couldn't agree more. Keep it classy Dash Nation! "Concluding productively" is something that could have many, many potential scenarios. I do not think that all of those scenarios necessarily include Bitcoin being successful over the long term. Anyway, regardless of what happens to Bitcoin...

Oh you mean dash per hashrate hour (as opposed to all miners in the aggregate)? Yes that's the right idea -- but slash that final number in half, because half of that 86.4 goes to masternodes.

The average block time is about 2.5 minutes (the difficulty and hash rate averages this equilibrium) Current block reward is 1.8 dash to miners (45%), 1.8 dash to masternodes (45%) = 3.6 dash (3.6 dash block reward / 2.5 minutes per block ) * 60 minutes per hour = 86.4 dash per hour. Or 96 dash...

BTW, it's getting kind of hard to keep track of this stuff with all these threads. Going forward I would recommend having one thread per proposal, and use the same thread to post updates (and update the OP)

I couldn't agree more on that we need to make use of the unspent budget, but I feel that spending on ATMs are one of the least productive uses. I think that getting on major exchanges, and hiring top talent for the team is a much higher priority. Top talent as in the best in the business in...
