Talking about the 15-30'is seconds delay right after starting the daemon? If so, its been always like this, at least for me, on puny little VPS's. After that, its pretty snappy


No, 30+ second delay all the time.

edit: I have thousands of 'dust' inputs - I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Although other wallets I host often have far more dust inputs and still have normal response times.

 I did feel a slow down a few versions back, on a particularly large volume wallet I had. Other wallets were quicker. But these were QT on a Mac laptop. But a version or two later no more lag on that wallet.

If its dust, can't you consolidate them into one input and get rid of them?

No, 30+ second delay all the time.

Yes, running my dust sweeper now. The upgraded wallet seems to have fixed the problem of getting stuck on blocks every 10 minutes or so, strangely - which was making my duster work very slowly.

Coinye IS a crypto for anyone.  Many logos have been used.

What have I said that is not true?  Coinye still exists regardless of who's doing it.  They have used many logos and they are continuing to develop and use new logos.  But this is a DRK thread so enough about coinye.  If you'd like to discuss coinye or your perception that my facts are wrong then feel free to shoot me a PM.  

Clients oftentimes call me to ask if they can get a trademark registration on a “common word” or a “common phrase.” The question itself is always asked with a doubtful tone, as if they already know the answer is “no.” To their surprise, however, the answer is a resounding “YES!”. Or at least in some cases it is.

One example that I like to give to clients is that of Apple Inc., the famous computer and software manufacturer. The word “apple” is a very common word, and yet Apple Inc. had no problem trademarking the term “APPLE” for computers and computer programs. Nor did Apple Rubber Products, John Middleton Co., and Scholastic, Inc. All of those companies, and many others, own trademark rights to the single word “APPLE”.

Why was this allowed? Because the word “apple” is an arbitrary word when used in connection with the manufacture and sale of computers and computer programs, or tobacco products, or educational materials. That is, there is nothing about these products that relates to “apples”. Accordingly, the term “APPLE” is actually a pretty strong trademark, as is the case when you apply a completely arbitrary term (however common it may be) to promote your products or services.
