You really uninformed. Dash cannot do anywhere near that. It might be able to do that for a specific time (which is really just queueing transactions), but it is still limited by how fast blocks are added to the chain in the long-term. If there were sustained transactions above this number, then...

Yes, you are correct. Okay, so what is Dash's plan to solve the scalability issue of the blockchain and micropayment issue? As it stands today the blockchain as a database does not scale to the necessary transactions needed. Dash currently is okay because it is relatively unused. However, if it...

I know that is the way it is now. However, the way masternode collateral works could make it so locking the money in a payment channel is used for collateral? So, change the way collateral is done so that money locked in a payment channel to provide lightening network liquidity is the same...

And if a state actor says to Amazon "Compromise those nodes" what do you think Amazon will do? It will just alter the nodes so everything is logged. Or, even more likely, a state actor such as the NSA will compromise insecure master nodes using exploits in the stack running the masternodes...

Bitcoin is currently working on the implementation of a lightening network which will be a powerful component of scaling. However, Bitcoin lacks the tools that Dash has to make it a truly good experience and decentralized. This is an opportunity for Dash. The issue with the lightening network...

This is FALSE. It does not take a "huge number of masternodes owners colluding" to compromise the Dash network. All it takes is a few hosting providers that are required by a secret warrant to compromise dash. Dash is 1 secret warrant sent to amazon.com and rackspace.com and the network is...

With mixing participation rate is much more important (less so with cryptographic solutions). I am glad you agree on that point. Which is why I say bitcoin already offers more secure mixing than Dash given bitcoins much larger participation rate and community size.

Regarding Mixing. Bitcoin ecosystem already has this feature: https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket/wiki It is a decentralized CoinJoin implementation (just like Dash). Even though it is not built into the wallet like Dash's coinjoin market, it has more liquidity which means it is...

You have me confused with someone else. I never left and I am not leaving. Selling my Dash does not mean I am leaving the community. Now stay on point of this thread topic. Provide opinions related to what was mentioned. Not at all. I am more bullish about Bitcoin than Shadowcash at this...

There was not an error in my economic analysis. The feedback loop exists as mentioned. When price rises it causes the annualized ROI to increased. This causes more masternode interest due to higher ROI, which further causes the price to rise as new masternodes are created locking up 1000s of...

I finally found some actual information: https://github.com/john-connor/papers/blob/master/chainblender.pdf It appears to be essentially mixing, so it suffers the same issue that Dash has. The coin does seem to be interesting though in other respects. Pity it was not developed with bitcoin...

I love Dash and may be back as an investor at some point, but I the last few weeks I have had to sell all my holdings and look to greener pastures. Part of the reason can be seen in this thread here: Dash needs to implement Shadowcash technology and truly be anonymous. Sorry for this...

Though Shadowcash does not have "instantsend" it has a 60s blocktime. This has the effect of making most transaction confirmations very fast. So, it is not that far behind Dash in that regard. My primary issue with shadowcash is that it is a PoS coin. If it was not for that, then I would have...

Vcash is not anonymous / funglble from what I can see. I scanned the website and whitepaper and saw nothing related to that.

Here is a recent testament of the great and usable current mixing solution of Dash: https://www.reddit.com/r/dashpay/comments/578xir/dark_send_stalled/

Why is this testing thread so dead?

Not at all. I have been clear with the benefits of Dash: 1) Governance model 2) Based on bitcoin. As I have stated many times, monero is not built on bitcoin base. As a result, adopting it requries complete retooling and it does not benefit from bitcoin development. That is a big drawback. Why...

I think a lot of people in this thread are missing an important concept. Dash only has valid if it offers more value to users than alternatives. We need to have an honest discussion about what value Dash offers. Because without privacy I do not see that it offers much value. Let's do a run down...

As GrandMasterDash pointed out, fungibliity does not work that way. Once you can have coins that are linked with real IDs and ones that are unlinked, then it creates an attack vector. Government or even people voluntarily can start to discriminate some coins versus others. In other words, it...

maybe ipsun should be paid to do a code review
