That was pretty sneaky, Vertoe! Don't tease us like this! Don't let that be the last post we see from you.
We could use you back, man. Dash is a Digital Cash that can be used for anything, and you can have a hand in making it happen. Also, there is a fund for developers now. Keep that in mind.
Take your time, though, if you need to.
I was posting it because it is a very interesting pull request from a technological perspective. I'm surprised to see udjin did a dirty merge of the bitcoin master (which is not 0.10.0 but 0.10.99 btw) and it seems to work out. I've been waiting to see the 0.12 wallet. Will test it.
But I have to disappoint you, I will not return or contribute to darkcoin as long as it is nothing more than a company selling a product. And I dont want to offend anyone when I say I simply have to smile when I see that
darkcoin wants to take on bitcoin. Bitcoin is a consensus protocol specification, a team of developers maintaining a reference implementation,
miners sustaining the consensus throughout the network and a democratic foundation which does nothing than public relations.
Darkcoin has none of this and should take the time to learn why it's important to support decentralization over corporate-like behaviour, why it's important to achieve a network consensus by miners not developers and why it's important to have democratic fallback infrastructure in place in case there are disputes without consensus. darkcoin is competion for paypal, not bitcoin. corporations can fail. cryptocurrencies cant.
mistrust authority, promote decentralization.
I agree with most of what vertoe has said here. The technology still has the potential that it always has but DRK/Dash is beginning to lose its way imho. I hope this isn't seen as a bitter post on the basis that I lost all of my DRK. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this project, the amount of work that volunteers put in and the structure of the foundation (even had a fantastic evening chatting it over with Otoh with a few beers and a burger last week). From my perspective it isn't clear to me whether 1 Dash will be a share or a coin in the future.
