Exactly.

Psst.  Fix your Siggy. 

very interesting, very telling 

With v13 everything will be better. Instant and free mixing!

I tried to find some things out about monero today, and I think they launched that coin because bytecoin had interesting tech, but was 80% premined.
I'm not a crypto-expert, so I can't verify their claims. Still need to research it a bit more though.

What would be helpful if there are people who are smarter than me that already commented on DASH tech and/or Monero tech.
Are there some bitcoin devs interested in DASH and/or Monero?

Many thanks, I got access to my account back, but no sign of the BTC or LTC as yet and no response for the last couple of days to my many support requests, no explanation, no money, nothing.

FFS, are you still chasing those bitcoins and litecoins, thats worrying, sorry about the situation, bet you feel helpless when they ain't answering support, that guy who had 5k dash stuck for over a week, did finally get them in end I heard.
(I presume your phone got others, because they went straight afterwards, btw)

Bump.

Jeffrey Tucker's assessment is similarly dire: https://tucker.liberty.me/the-poison-apple-called-tpp/

"Like the Nafta and WTO battles before it, the TPP is being marketed as a free-trade agreement. The partisans have lined up for and against it on that basis. But this is all so much distraction. The true core of the treaty is protectionist in the extreme. It protects a handful of powerful industry players against genuine market competition."

Has anyone yet asked Tucker to take donations in Dash on his site? It would seem like a good fit.


 

That's right. There are plenty of masternodes available for mixing, it depends on the funds available for mixing. Sometimes smaller amounts (and larger) can be a bit troublesome. The mixing process tries to split the sum requested for anonymisation into denominations of 0.1, 1, 10  and 100 I think, not sure if there are any others. I've found that it doesn't usually take too long to have say 20 mixed up if you're mixing 30, but if you're looking for all of it to be mixed up sometimes it can take quite a bit longer to get the very last remnants mixed up.

With regards to the fee, that is related to to the lowest mixing denomination of 0.1. If you need to pay, for example, 1.63, the transaction will need to be rounded up to 1.7. If instead you received the 0.07 as change, it may reduce the obscurity of the trasaction. If you want you could increase the payment to 1.699 and the fee would only be  0.001 DASH. It may not always be possible to change the amount though, due to an exact amount be required for some good or service, in which case the higher fee must be paid if DarkSend is used.

The thought they might be running a fractional reserve scheme has crossed my mind. The question is, in such a scenario, what have they done with people's BTC? And, if the BTC market is oversold due to the fractional reserve practices where BTCs are "supposed" to be in cryptsy, but they have been loaned or sold to pressure price, then what does that mean for BTC's price when clients come back knocking for their BTC?

Anyway...

I don't like the situation with crypto exchanges at all. It's like they are regressing into worse behavior instead of eliminating problems.
