    NEW MEMBERS: Welcome to Dash! Introduce yourself...

    Hey, I just realized that this is in Cincinnati, isn't it? I just moved here!

    Idea: Book on Dash

    Thanks for the encouragement and ideas! I agree with the consensus that I should wait until Evolution to publish it. Until then, I'll be collecting ideas and writing a first draft on the features already released.

    Masternode with Trezor?

    I'll admit I'm impatient, but at the same time I want you all to get it right!

    Masternode with Trezor?

    Seriously, it will be that easy? I was picturing a complicated migration process. Sweet!

    Idea: Book on Dash

    That's my inclination as well, but good to hear it from someone else. I can always do different editions, of course, but I don't want an edition to be obsolete the day it comes out!

    Idea: Book on Dash

    Hello, Last year I wrote a book on Bitcoin, which was directed towards people with no knowledge of cryptocurrency: Bitcoin Basics: 101 Questions and Answers It is in both paperback and Kindle formats, and, although not a best-seller, it has done respectable in sales. I'm considering the...

    Thunder Network - Any Use/Challenge for Dash?

    This is my concern as well. Lightning networks appear to serve a real need if you have frequent small payments to the same people, but opening up channels every time I just want to make one payment to a stranger seems a bit cumbersome. Overall, I think this was a good critique of lightning...

    Thunder Network - Any Use/Challenge for Dash?

    The big Bitcoin news today is that Blockchain has released an alpha version of Thunder Network, which is the first actual implementation of the Lightning Network. Supposedly, it allows for instant transactions, and can handle up to 100,000 transactions per second (almost twice as much as Visa's...

    Dash needs new leadership and direction

    My son plays Little League baseball, and he is quite enthusiastic about it. To be honest, so am I. Last year he was in an important tournament and his coach made a number of decisions that I thought were ill-conceived and led to the team losing a tournament they should have won. Most of the...

    Dash needs new leadership and direction

    Thank you for your post, @GrandMasterDash. I think you bring up some legitimate and intriguing points, even if I don't agree with them all. I also appreciate your sincerity and respectfulness in your criticisms. It is a sign of a healthy community that such criticisms happen and are taken...

    Dash Nation Consensus Discussion

    I guess my experience has been different. In mature projects/companies I've been involved with the marketing team controls the website. It is not primarily a development tool, after all, but a marketing tool. Obviously there are security concerns, which is why when I say "marketing team" I...

    Satoshi Nakamoto = Craig Wright?

    I wrote my own thoughts about whether this really matters here: I Don't Trust Craig Wright (or Satoshi Nakamoto)

    Dash Nation Consensus Discussion

    All good points. Like I said, the website can be a bit tricky. :) In an ideal world, the official website for any crypto should eventually be handed over from the development team to a marketing team. When and how that occurs would depend on the crypto in question and where it is in its...

    Dash Nation Consensus Discussion

    My guess is whoever wants to be on it and writes accepted code. And I assume Evan is the final arbitor of what gets accepted. I personally think the devs should have full control of this. If they think something will be a major change, it would be nice if they proposed it publicly first...

    Dash Nation Consensus Discussion

    I tend to be skeptical of any effort to make a decentralized project like Dash too formalized, which this constitution idea seems to want to do. Let Dash develop organically (which will include some overlapping responsibilities and clashes at times). A few random thoughts on the matter: I...

    DashCentral.org - masternode monitoring and budget voting

    32teeth - I did that, and the app even says "API key valid". But when I click "Next", it briefly gives a loading page, and then returns to the setup screen. (And both "notifications" and "camera" have checkboxes next to them).

    MEGA-"HELP! WALLET NOT SYNCING"-THREAD

    You are a genius - that did the trick! Thanks! (It might just be me, but I got a kick out of that command: "Please reconsider this block; it really is nice - you can trust it!")
