Wow trolling is very active lately. Monero team worried Dash is poised for a nice bull run I think.

But seriously why compare Dash to Madoff? You might as well compare Dash to the number of cows in Switzerland for all the relevance that has. The growth of Dash looks nothing like that. At all. Btw.
 

Because, you can't base an investment solely on the fact that it has performed well in the past.  You need to base it on something tangible that you expect to happen in the future that will help your investment grow.

Well thats true I guess. As for myself I'm basing it on whats Dash has done in the past, (incentivised nodes, two tier network, instant send, private send...) and what its doing now (growing the network, financing multiple projects via the budget system, maintaining and growing value, market cap etc), and the potential I see and the vision of Dash Evolution, bringing a user experience to the masses. And so on.

The thing is the trolls here know all this, and fear it, or they wouldnt be here. Do you really think  they are here because they want to help us avoid a scam?

Don't take my comment out of context.  It was related to the comment above it, which was:

^ Yep. As an investor they have made me good money to this point so there is no reason to stop trusting them now.  Cool

My comment was only related to the blind faith attitude is dangerous.
Hi Solar... I do agree to some of the concerns   It's important that those of us that wish to question things and ask for accountability should remain doing so.

 For example,  I've been advocating for a budget performance matrix for all funded projects.  I've been willing to donate handsomely for this kind of thing where everyone is being held accountable via a standalone website.

 There are literally 10s of thousands of dollars being dished out... And no accountability.  I purposed before the holidays that  we set up an independent site that that strictly evaluates funding proposals performance as well as a complete detailed information on all aspects of the individual budgets,  who they are,  how much was the proposal worth in a couple of currencies what were the deliverables etc etc.  Then finally a rating of how well the budget proposal did at fullfilling it's duties... This could even be voted on.  

  This is how we can help everyone in community to remain confident that funds parties are being given, are held accountable by the whole community.
Thanks.   You you have the right idea.  The simplest solution is to downvote every proposal that doesn't give acceptable updates.  That could even be forced by a vote reset every month.

Maybe we post a budget proposal to fund a separate independent site that does what we are talking about.  At least at that point...the community as a whole can evaluate for themselves what is and isn't being done for example...and how much DASH is being given out.  With the amount of money now being generated by the budget system...there now needs to be oversight.   The problem as I've stated on the slack channel today is there is just way to many moving parts and certainly there isn't enough oversight over all the pieces.  I would propose to create a committee that sole goal is to evaluate, collect and report on information regarding all budget proposals and the people and company involved. The purpose...transparency.  This committee can be made of anyone that is concerned DASH community member.  It should be independent of core dev team and master node operators if possible.   

In fact I'm sure we could have community members donate DASH to maintain the site and any out of pocket costs and should NOT be funded from the superblock to be impartial.

I would volunteer to create a Wallet address for donated funds to the project and report on a monthly statement by my accounting firm the status of said funds.  I offered to start with 50 DASH in the slack channel...but I couldn't get TAO to connect with me...I would still certainly do this still...and I'd be willing to donate more.

Thoughts?
