when will dash evolution roll out?  Huh

December 2017

Will Dash be able to use IPv6 by then?

It seems ridiculous for Dash to fork Bitcoin and then load on so much extra crap that IPv6 functionality is broken forever.

Quote from: crowning

That's not good for the network's diffuse/diverse properties.  Any attack that only works on IPv4 takes out 100& of all Masternodes instead of only most of them.

You're right! I think we should build our own mesh network because any attack that only works on the Internet will take out 100% of all nodes. Or even use some sort of quantum communications in case they'll come up with EM jamming.

I think Dash should be able to maintain the IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity it inherited from Bitcoin.  Maybe even bolt on i2p when Monero is done with Kovri.

Altcoins are supposed to push the envelope, not regress.  Do you want Dash to also abandon IPv4 and to back to SmallTalk, or perhaps ARPANET NCP?

Kicking 140 Masternodes off the network just because Evan broke IPv6 compatibility is asinine.  That kind of hideous kludge solution might be OK for a testnet but not the real thing.  Those Masternode owners collectively paid ~$16 million USD to put their money in a HYIP that is suddenly and arbitrarily being ordered by a centralized authority to function differently than as originally sold.

Why weren't Masternodes allowed to vote on whether or not to disable IPv6 and thereby kick 140 of their own off the network?

Is that how "distributed democracy by blockchain" is supposed to work?

What's the point of Dash's governance structure and voting when it's funding scams while Evan makes all the important decisions?
