Teaser screenshot of Dash Code-Name "Evolution"

OK, that's a nice slide.

Where is the whitepaper?

Where is the code?

Bitcoin now has CLTV/CSV, when will Dash add these important features?

With regards to CLTV / CSV : i have no idea

Yes, that's what I figured. With regards to the two key functions needed to scale blockchain based ecash, Dash's position is 'lol I dunno.'

That's *almost* as asinine as coding up Evolution before its allegedly revolutionary concepts have passed muster in the peer review process.

I guess Evan Scamfield is committed to shipping Evolution, whether it actually works or is based on fundamentally unsound computer science/cryptography.

So there is no other way to scale a blockchain based crypto coin than CLTV/CSV?

We're not even sure if the sidechains and payment channels enabled by CLTV/CSV will actually work to scale a blockchain based crypto coin.

All four concepts are new, experimental, and untested in the real world.

But, unlike Evolution, they are being developed as FOSS projects in full public view, with all benefits thereof.

It would be asinine for Blockstream to build them in secret, then start the public release with a rigged/stage-managed/choreographed/deterministic marketing demo before working backwards to open source and whitepapers

That would indicate Blockstream either likes to waste time/money/talent on boondoggles, or doesn't GAF whether the tech is solid and they are committed to releasing it, regardless of any fatal flaws or instamine-like major fiascos.

It would also indicate Bitcoin development is centralized, and limited to those special members of Blockstreams Secret Clubhouse.

The process goes [whitepaper(s)<-->peer review(s)] --> [coding<-->testing] --> marketing demo, not the other way around.

Here, I'll simply it down to DashHole level. The process is called 'Research and Development' not 'Development and Research.'

The order is important! Grin

Coding before you know the engineering foundation is solid is like building a house from the roof down.

That kind of stunt is usually pulled by for-profit start-ups, not legitimate 501c non-profits engaged in actual research.

Can you honestly say you don't see a problem will all the red flags here?
