    Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash

    Tante, I was just trying to catch up on DCT, and saw your post on democracy/republic. I don't have time to give you a full answer now, but you are tapping into a wellspring that can take you many interesting places. Few seem to understand the difference between Common and Statutory Law. In the...

    Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash

    You guys (that includes you too tante ;-) are awesome. The breadth of creativity, the fierce defense of individual viewpoints combined with genuine respect for each other, set this community apart as much as Evan and the Dev's technical innovation. I particularly appreciate the interplay between...

    Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash

    Yidakee my friend, I certainly do not think you are nuts. And I clearly must not be expressing myself clearly, because I thought I was on your side (as I understood it) here. So let me try again... the key terms in my statement were "officially" and "recognized." Dash is certainly a more...

    Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash

    Hey there MB, I seriously doubt that Dash will ever be recognized as an "official" currency, so to that extent I don't think there is any urgency on this front. But I love your new icon. :cool:

    Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash

    k This is great Tao, I really liked the chameleon, but the Dalmatian has a much more generic appeal. Most folks would be far more comfortable with puppies than lizards. Keep up the great work!

    Rebranding Followup

    Another quick thought... No matter where you fall on the Totalitarian--Anarchist spectrum, or the Theist--Atheist spectrum, it is an open question as to whether States or religions hold more sway in the world. No major religion, will willingly align itself with "the dark side." Most major...

    Rebranding Followup

    My two duffs: Keep the D logo, it is well recognized, and inoffensive; also keep the conjoined IX logo of instant exchange, it is both descriptive and elegant from a design perspective. DX is often a designator for products associated with quality, and also rapid long-distance communication (DIX...

    Rebranding Followup

    ...Trying desperately to catch up.:confused: Hope to add something truly more constructive later. FWIW--DARPA holds some potential.:tongue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA

    Rebranding and Scalability

    Friends--first an apology--things have occurred so fast that I find myself 25 pages behind on BCT and 11 pages here. I have just started a new job and can't put in the time that I think is so critical at this point. I am just jumping in with my two duffs. They may or may not be pertinent or...

    v0.11.2.x Testing

    Is there any reason the client is identifying itself as v0.11.1.25-bdbdbf9-beta (64-bit) ? Am I getting the wrong link? If this is normal, can someone send me some testDRK? yJCspQEi9SJNKZGr1PB6Kdh31wURM73gQx Thanks.:cool:

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    This is probably another dumb question, but couldn't the entire DRK system be run as a single large vpn? Is that what a P2P network is? Is this what TOR is?

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    I hesitate to bring this up because I am not sure of its significance, but I suspect that I have already observed either a real attack or testing of the MN network. I hope that someone who understands these things will check out this post and its companion a bit further down the thread: [ANN]...

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    "Funded by" and "controlled by" are two different things. The Fed. is clearly funded by the U.S. gov, but who is it that does the controlling? It was in the govs interest to develop a system by which its operatives could "phone home" securely, and have exit ramps that they could monitor. Hidden...

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    Friends, (and I do not use the term lightly) this is proving to be one of the more interesting, and (IMO) important conversations we have had in a while. MB, I do not get the impression that DS420 is FUDing; and DS42, MB does not deserve insults either. We should be able to respectfully...

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    I suspect that the authorities will make owning masternodes difficult before they actually try to make it illegal--at least in jurisdictions which try to maintain a veneer of democracy. I would suggest that the first shot over the bow against DRK, will be the discovery that someone's Coinbase...

    Which Masternode model should we implement?

    It is no secret that my tech knowledge is limited, so in a very real sense I am not qualified to vote (besides the decision has been made:wink:). However, Aswan's comment that IF the referenced problem could be solved, he would vote for option two, AND the fact that our intrepid leader seems to...

    What's in a name? ...or, is a rose by any othername worth the trouble?

    I am posting this quote from BCT because I thought it was a fairly cogent statement that I would like to address later when I have a chance.. I have not forgotten this thread, and hope to post a rather comprehensive summary when I have more time than I do at present. At the moment the demands...
