Not really. It would actually be sticking to the goals and values of what the project started with. The shadowcash code is already written. It is not like current devs need to spend a lot of time of new code and inventing the concept. The hard work was already done by the Shadowcash team.

1) Dash is not used for commerce yet. It is mostly used for speculation. As a result, there is little need for privacy in its current form. One big reason why it is not used for commercetransactions is likely because it is offers poor privacy. So, given that, why not just use bitcoin which has...

That is why I recommend to implement Shadowcash technology. Their technology is also built on bitcon core code just like ours. As a result, they have done 90% of all the work. Just copy their code and implement into the Dash system.

To answer your questions: 1&3) Mixing could be faster if there were more people doing it. That is the answer to question #3, which is why people vote for liquidity. It essentially just ensures there are people mixing. Since mixing in Dash is an opt-in process imagine you were the only person at...

Let's try to keep this thread on topic and that is the topic of Dash fungibility and how to enhance it as the current solution is not working. You are welcome to read my post history on the form or PM me privately or start a new thread. I have no other identities, but even if I did it is not...

I have stated a case as to why it is beneficial and the exact ways that it provides a benefit to Dash. I outlined the usability issues of mixing (takes too long, costs too much) and I outlined the security concerns of mixing especially given the few points of compromise that is required to...

I am basing that on this thread https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/darkcoin-shadowcash-merger.2918/ Yes, I understand that you may believe it was not for technology and maybe it truly was not. However, it seems unlikely that someone would want the developers if they were not interested in the...

To answer your questions: 1) Yes, though it is rare. The only advantage would be if irrefutable proof that a payment was sent was needed from one identifiable address to another (think of a contract that specified this). That is the only instance I can think of and it would be an edge case. It...

Let me address each point you made: 1) Users don't want to wait a week to mix coins through hundreds of nodes hoping they get one that is not compromised. When someone gives me a $100 USD I don't have to go launder this hundreds of times. It is anonymous right then and there. That is what...

Exactly. And giving higher tips would be very possible because not all tips would be redeemed. Let's pretend 50% of tips will be redeemed (likely be less than that like 20% let's be honest), that would mean that tips can now be 2x higher for no additional economic cost to the tipper. So instead...

VERY good point. A MN being prosecuted for money laundering would create a devastating chilling effect. Since master nodes are not anonymous (and will never be so) it is important to reduce the number of legal attacks against as much as possible. Not to mention a cryptographic solution...

It is time to quit playing around with fungibility / anonymity of the coin. Dash was released as Darkcoin with the promise of true anonymous payment. It has failed to provide anonymity and fungibility almost 2 year later. The mixing technology of Dash is not good enough. It is slow, expensive...

Are there going to be any improvements to mixing in Dash? Current system is a huge failure. It would almost be better to remove the feature than to keep having a broken feature.

To me the system should NOT depend on email. It should support a variety of verification methods. The first of course would be to burn a small amount of Dash. This would be the best anti-spam provision as there are literally an unlimited number of emails (I can just create a catchall email...

This idea is not about merchants accepting Dash. That is a chicken and egg problem that I do not care to address. This is about Dash Community forcing Dash onto employees of businesses by exploiting the tipping system in countries like the USA. Once employees learn about Dash and have Dash they...

Yes, I was imagining pre-printed cards. Since someone won't have a printer available at a restaurant and because someone would not know the tip-amount beforeand I was imagining a pre-printed card with a fillable area for the redemption code.

The best marketing of a virtual currency is likely "pounding the pavement" and exposing Dash to people. A service that made giving Dash tips to restaurant servers and other tipped people in real life would be a GREAT marketing avenue. Essentially, if WE, the Dash community, start giving tips to...

Dashes technology is actually better IMO. Moneros technology offers great privacy today, but likely no privacy in 10 years. As a result, it is not really good even for dark markets. In 10 years the encryption will likely be breakable and at that point all the connections necessary to prosecute...

Considering that nearly every one of these coins also has more liquidity / volume than Dash I would say that YES it does work. The most important value of an asset besides its volatility is its liquidity.

Oh look, another coin has displaced Dash. And what do you know, it has 80 million currency units. Like usual, my predictions are dead on. Pretty soon dash will be #30th coin. Not due to interest, but due to psychology of currencies with large number of units. Looking at the top 10 coins (other...
