If ASIC resistance no longer serves the interests of the Dash network, why not revert to sha256 with its stronger market presence?

Oligarchs... What a laugh. It must suck to be such a victim and have no vision or passion in life. :D

Did you happen to meet a character called Marc Stevens there?

What is the 'Dash Core Group'?

Good to see! I joined steemit and also post as voluntary there.

I dunno whether I'd be happy or sad if there was nothing better to do with the development fund than gamble with it.

That sounds like using the budget to fund a project without a specific goal. Aren't bounties typically funded directly from people that want specific things?

What's behind the sudden uptick?

It must be terrible when there's too much demand for your product...

@rusty You might like to keep an eye on Zcash.

I like clipconverter.cc for when youtube's drip-feed is too slow. And http://scdownloader.net/ might help with problematic soundcloud content.

Imagine if an enterprising developer made an app for people to go mobile snipe-hunting for Dash...

Zcash is currently scheduled to begin its mainnet in late September. It uses a proof of work called Equihash which may require a skilled developer to integrate it into an existing pool miner - for which a bounty is being offered. https://forum.z.cash/t/zcash-mining-pool/816...

There are ways to achieve ASIC resistance - a somewhat extreme method would be to commit to tweaking / altering the proof of work on a routine basis so that too much of a moving target is created for manufacturers to be able to cope with.

And, if so, how could they prove to the vote buyer that they got what they paid for?

Dash is a currency, not a cult - or even a social club for that matter. The peculiar dramas of adults (?) having tantrums on public forums has absolutely zero influence on my decision to hold Dash.

This sounds like what coloured coins are for - or is that just a bitcoin thing?

Making the opportunity available to all the people with less to invest is more likely to encourage them operate their own masternode and help Dash maintain a truthful claim to having a decentralised network.

Dude wants to turn a dollar into a dime? You don't stock-split for that, you just invent names for different denominations.

Has Dash let go of it's original goal of being ASIC proof? It would be trivial to make that hardware obsolete by tweaking X11...
