And with the way V12 is coming along, fuggedaboutit...

With respect, name calling is meeting someone on their level, focus not on the base level of human ignorance trivia but look past that and upwards to the big ideas and coding to put it into place, that is what is important.

What he says?
What is greenaddress?

The thread is confusing to me, but according to this wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Green_address I think the comparison is to DASH's instantX technology.  The difference is that with Green_addresses, you must trust a server of some sort for correct information to check for double spends, and with instantX, we have the masternode network, which locks transactions, just like a miner would.  This is done with the untrusted, distributed masternode network and thus has no double spend weakness.  The dual network of miners and masternodes enables DASH to do many new things, and people are just not getting that.

We have almost 3000 masternodes, with a 19 million dollar market cap.  Bitcoin has less than 6000 full nodes (including miners and pools) with a 4 billion dollar market cap.  Think on that.

The above issue is also an issue with light wallets.  Light wallets used on phones, etc... do not carry the entire blockchain and instead rely on a server to send them that information.  If that server is compromised, it could mess up ability to make a payment.  Soon, but not yet implemented, the masternode network will be doing this job for DASH light wallets, and therefore the blockchain will be "served up" via the network, not a trusted centralized source.

DASH's dual network has solved a myriad of issues with Bitcoin.

Really sorry I'm the only one around right now.  Wish Toknormal could explain this stuff, he's really good Smiley
::cut::

He was a consultant for a seriously scammy ICO shitcoin called Viacoin last year, so I really don't understand where hes coming from with these tweets or if XMR hired him as a consultant or not.

Calm down folks.

Peter Todd made the only comment he could make.

Don't castigate him for it just because he's a bitcoin core dev.

+1

Every time Evan has solved any of the Bitcoin's problems (DarkSend fixing transactions not being private, masternodes fixing lack of incentive to run full nodes, InstantX fixing slow transactions, and now the blockchain governed funding enabling the development to continue and accelerate for years to come) there's been a lot of grudge and animosity in IRC etc against DASH from Bitcoin devs/fanatics and often Monero devs have been seen there trying to buddy up with the BTC devs feeding that hostility as well. So when a Bitcoin dev is coming from that kind of environment which is filled with hate against DASH, you can't possibly expect him to have anything else to say.
