Having said that, the low hanging fruit seems to be GBP to Crypto. So, a good place to start and expand out from, maybe.

Well, first I want to make it clear that while I am a big fan of Dash, I would also look at such a project as an investment opportunity and, as such, would certainly want to include at least bitcoin, ETH and ETC, XMR, XRP, and probably others. Which would be a direct exchange with GBP (and maybe...

Its a problem with all Cryptos and GBP. That means there is a market for a supplier/local merchant at reasonable rates. Anyone want to set one up with me?

I like the look of the new T570, but will wait for cheaper Ryzen powered 8 core.

Also looking to start trading on an exchange.

Hi. I'd be interested to know how this went. I've been signed up to the US Lenovo sales newsletter since I lived and worked in Texas six years ago. Wish I'd bought one then while I was over there. Currently have a HP Pavillion with i7 2670QM. Actually not a bad laptop, especially since the...

Depends what one's definition of fair is. Is any type of uneven distribution of wealth fair? Are some types of uneven distribution of wealth fair and others not? I would agree that effort should be rewarded in some cases. But not others. Let's consider Bob and Bill and Ben. Bill has little...

Seems interesting, thanks. i'll check it out.

My point being that any group will be incentivised to make choices that improve their own situation, whether or not it improves the situation of those outside the group. And many improvements are partly or wholly defined/by nature relative change rather than absolute, i.e. by increasing the...

As long as it doesn't just create a new one. e.g. Miners and Masternode owners.

Good for what and who? They will be incentivised to make decisions that keep or make themselves richer than everyone else. This is human nature. Does the current Dash system prevent that from happening both now and in the future?

As I already mentioned, why not, then, go fully "just" and have time-limited money that cannot be accumulated as it ceases to exist after a certain amount of time. Say daily allowance with life of just that day.

It's certainly another model. I'm not pushing this idea, but why not go for the further democratisation of a currency that expires? So, we all get a (EDIT: equal) daily allowance that expires after, or time-limited to one day. This would eliminate the possibility of accumulating wealth by...

Isn't Dash PoS, at least for Masternode operators?

You could also make the comparison to how many banks there are in the world, which might be more like 4 or 5 thousand.

Do I understand you to mean that you are worried about runaway deflation?

Of course they would. They will be uber-riche compared to everyone else, and motivated to keep that wealth. And even accumulate more, as this would take more Dash out of circulation and thereby further increase the value of their holdings. I wonder and fear if it this will not produce a feedback...

The point is, it's still a group with it's own special interests. The terms "group" and "special interests" lose their meaning and their threat only when the group is everybody.

Like I said, maybe 7 billion; or rather, everyone. Depends how decentralised you want the system to be. So far, I haven't heard anything except the usual self interest used as a justification to limit decentralisation.

Not necessarily true, i'm afraid. I suspect many are here to take advantage of the speculative opportunity that crypto was and still is. Or rather, there is a portion of those here that seek to take advantage of that opportunity potentially irrespective of whether crypto will change the world...
