As long as there are other means of producing a DEFAULT and perfectly defined increase in supply, that statement is not correct. And TokNormal knows it perfectly.

If the technological leap that CORE "sells us" is true, the marginalization of miners is not an attack on the DASH economy, but on its governance. It could represent an added value compared to the competition ... it could be.

I insist: The madness is not that the miners see their rewards diminished, that is at least debatable ... but that a cut in general expenses is oriented to private benefit and not to the general interest of the project. And, like everything else, for a CENTRALIZED decision in a few hundred people ... applicable to infinite situations ... with which the project lacks guarantees OF ANY KIND for those who are not able to categorically influence it.  That's the VERY SERIOUS problem.

The code is law ... but the law is me. So terrifying, that it practically repels any capital contribution to DASH, imo ... except those that determine a definitive influence ... which, obviously, would only accentuate a perverse loop that tends not to the existing centralization ... but to pure concentration.

They're doing something! And you are dirty scammers !!!

Limited supply on its own is worthless and I think you know that. At least the hundreds of dead coins that have limited supply and no hashrate understand it.

I can paint you a picture that I guarantee will be a limited 1 unique unit, but it won't be as "limited" as a piece of fine art from a recognised artist who put a lifetime of effort into going to art school, practicing their technique and garnering increased market recognition. Their painting itself might take months to create whereas mine would have taken 20 minutes.

Both are still limited to a supply of 1. The difference was:

1. effort
2. competition to be the first to purchase the unit from source

In the fine art world, a purchase made straight from the artist is known as the "primary market". It sets the price for all subsequent purchases (which are thenceforth know as "secondary market" trades).

In mined crypto, the "primary market" price by definition is represented by the cost of the effort required to obtain the coin straight form the blockchain because the role of the protocol is to reflect the level of competing bids for that coin in the cost of mining it. Mining therefore performs the same market function as the gallery system does in the fine art market = attracts competition for the primary supply and sets the guide price.

To some Dash people, this seems an enigma. But only to "Dash" people. It's blindingly obvious to anyone else. They try to promote some conflicted and contorted explanation for mining being dispensable while at the same time accepting that their coin of choice inherits the core protocol of the most intensively mined digital asset on the planet.

Hypocrisy and denialism at its finest. Is it any wonder that we are continuously bypassed by our mined peers who do not similarly through their store-of-value engine under a bus to pay for a service that other networks get for free ? The latest is a joke coin at near its all time low against BTC. If that doesn't crack a few heads into waking up then I don't think anything will.

Dash is affected by bittrex cowardly policy.
I remember when devs calmed  they have good relations with exchanges and we shouldn't afraid..
But dash is full of unfulfilled promises...

Actually Dash being delisted in The Netherlands completely, is not accurate.

Only Dutch exchange Bitvavo & Dutch exchange Anycoin Direct delisted specific privacy coins (Dash, Monero, Zcash, PIVX), due to their close banking relations with
the Dutch central bank. The much bigger and more widely-used Dutch exchange Litebit.eu still has Dash listed, although they did delist Monero.

Dash listing : https://www.litebit.eu/en/buy/dash

Personally i never even heard of Bitvavo and don't trade with Anycoin Direct. Litebit.eu had problems during previous Altcoins Season (they had to close down registration
for new customers back then) and have relatively high fees in comparison to other exchanges i know of. The only advantage with using Litebit.eu is that you can buy crypto
through iDEAL payment, which only take a few minutes.

But it's a security. Not a trustless crypto.

My understanding is that the DNB which permits companies/exchanges to do business in The Netherlands is now insisting among other KYC/AML measures that privacy coins, including Dash be delisted as early as this week. Multiple smaller crypto services are either complying or being shut down.

Maybe Litebit is getting an extension or is somehow able to work around this, I don't know.

Official statement from @dashpay on Twitter:

"From a technical standpoint, Dash’s privacy functionality is no greater than Bitcoin’s, making the label of “privacy coin” a misnomer for Dash"



This project has been lying for many years (and anyone scrolling to thousands of pages of this thread can verify this). Now it not only admits that it was BS, but it even professes the exact opposite.
Shame isn't a problem, when all you care for is profit.

Good thing we have an ignore button for all these spam newbee posters.
