No way! I should be tipping YOU! My reward is that I can't wait for businesses to open here... need to go to the pizza place on the corner that takes BTC (and now Dash). This is going to be so much fun!

It might also take some time to accumulate meaningful funds to help with integrations. The biggest merchants or payment processors would have the most complex implementations that would require the most funding.

I like this idea. We could start a fund... show us your integration costs and we will cover 100% of the costs AND promote your business to our user base on dashpay, dashtalk, etc. Merchants must apply beforehand, we fund the integrations that have the highest payment volume / cost, and once you...

100k coins could only be distributed after 100 months of accumulation with no one else claiming them, and even then, the merchant would have to represent 100% of the market. Even Amazon couldn't have that much impact... they maybe have 20% market share? I don't know. Any meaningfully sized...

Merchant acceptance is a critical issue. It is the 5th most important aspect of transacting online to consumers. Yet this is a real "chicken and eggs" problem. Without consumers using Dash, merchants (at least ones that matter) are unlikely to want to incur the expense of integrating Dash on...

This version is looking incredibly stable for me across all of my nodes. I'm running windows 64 and OSX locally (qt) and Linux 64 bit daemon remote. Darksend mixing is moving faster than before (I wish I had a benchmark to quantify this) All messages such as "Synchronizing masternodes"...

Linux 64 version shows version 120044 protocol 70103 Edit: OSX is also showing 12.0.44

I have been getting 70103 on the 64 bit version for the last several hours.

Mission and vision are only effective IF a path to getting there is possible. If not, it doesn't really help provide direction. The example given earlier of "replace the entire financial system for whole of humanity" is neither something that is feasible nor something that I think the majority...

I thought this article was really interesting because it delves into the history of failed "digital cash" from Digicash and Cybercash in the 1990's to the first "virtual currency" (which was really a coupon system) to E-gold to a Canadian currency called Dexit. It might be worthwhile researching...

They are looking for members of the team, so if you want to see your ideas implemented, you should get involved to ensure it's done right. It is a bit ironic that the two team members that approached Evan with a solution weren't aware that you were working on proposing solutions as well. That's...

I have been reading page after page after page of debate on the topic of whether the funds for projects should be collected BEFORE a project is ready, or AFTER a project is ready. The main argument for why NOT to "siphon off funds" is that the money would be squandered on frivolous expenses to...

It could also be that some proposals are competing with each other. For example, once a development budget is established, you might put to a vote "do we pursue roadmap A, B, C, D, or E for development?" Then the MN owners vote for one (or maybe more) of the roadmaps they support and if nothing...

I disagree for several reasons. What has gotten us where we are is willingness to take risks and incorporate good ideas. When this coin started, there were no masternodes. We have changed the split of that reward to miner (which decreases the incentive to mine and results in a higher reward...

Why would you not touch supply? Would love to debate based on your reasoning rather than your position. The more I think about it, supply should attempt to match the needs of the network. You need enough to provide a sufficient hash rate (we've already incorporated variable increased supply...

Hell, even fiat currency requires continual development. Have you seen the new hundred dollar bills? Lots of security enhancements needed due to counterfeiting. I don't agree that the unused 15% should automatically go to miners. We should give miners enough to provide the level of security the...

Not to mention that there could be more pillars in the future that we can't imagine yet. We already talked about legal expenses. What about a small charitable fund that we could use as part of outreach efforts? Or what about grants for things like research that could further our technology or...

I would have to assume of votes cast. Otherwise, if enough people fail to vote, there would be nothing ever approved.

On your first point, yes... our network transaction rate is a fraction of capacity. Evan has commented on how robust the network is many times and the fact that it can handle orders of magnitude more transactions. Most interviews he does, this issue is addressed. On your second point, I totally...

One thing I've seen consistently is MN owners not wanting to be taxed off the fear that their earnings will drop. This simply isn't true. The market has an expected rate of return for MN operation. As the reward increases, the number of MNs increases in tandem and each MN gets paid less often...
