Dash's Privacy Roadmap Through Evolution and Beyond - Dash Force News

Dashs developmental roadmap, through its much-anticipated Evolution release and beyond, is set to continue improving privacy for the average user.

Formerly known as Darkcoin, Dash started out with a level of privacy above what Bitcoin offered. Since then, Dash has come to offer a variety of other features, including decentralized governance and instant transactions, expanding the main focus to usability as a payment system by the average consumer. However, according to Ryan Taylor, CEO for the Dash Core team, Dashs future development still very much emphasizes private transactions:

This is FAKE NEWS. There is no such thing as a Dash Privacy Roadmap. Dash is running way from privacy as fast as possible. The PAIDSHILL writers at DFN need to correct this FAKE NEWS and stop shilling for vaporware that will never exist.

How many times has Dash's "privacy roadmap" let us down? Evan on numerous occasions promised new privacy features like Ring Sigs and I2P and masternode blinding. NONE of that ever happened.

Shame on Evan for making EMPTY PROMISES and shame on Dash Spam Force for blindly swallowing Evan's load of malarky and reporting only on hype but never on the failure of that hype to materialize into anything real.

Firstly, this is not intended to be an act of trolling. I was quite heavily invested in Dark, and believed in it's cause.

However, I would like you to carefully consider your position.

The darksend option of anonymity could be smashed by the NSA quite easily.

The anonymity market share you own - on the assumption that darksend works flawlessly - is about to be overtaken by Monero, and similar clones.

Their anonymity solution is superior to yours, developed by hackers. A purely trustless solution.

Good luck to you all, but buyer beware.

While zeroknowledge proofs are neat just imagine the blockchain sitting there for 10 years accumulating your data, then one of a few things happen:

1.) The key used to start the system was never destroyed and was kept the entire time so a very powerful entity could see everything that goes on
2.) An exploit is found and suddenly the entire blockchain is cleartext

Darksend has no such vulnerabilities. The encryption we use could be completely broken and all of the transactions that have happened would still be anonymous.

Darksend relies on a collateral system - 1000drks per masternode, randomly selected masternodes, and these nodes sign off on the pooled transactions.

Sounds safe...how much money do you think the NSA has? How easy to simply stockpile virtually all the darks out there, and have the majority of masternodes running...

Sorry Evan but they are laughing at this solution...they will simply allow your network to grow, allow users to feel safe and protected, yet know the vast majority of transactions.

The only real solution to anonymity is encrypted packets of information, that are visible on the network by can only be decrypted by the intended recipient using their private key.

You are a smart, well intended dev. You have a loyal team, you have done well. But your solution is flawed.

This was solved by using multiple iterations through many masternodes. Users can pick how secure and private they want their transactions to be. To actually know who spent what, you would have to control every masternode from start to end.

Plus, I'm implementing I2P into the masternodes. We're going to have our own private network just for DarkSend.

What happened to Evan's May 2014 announcement about "implementing I2P into the masternodes?" Huh

That was MORE THAN FOUR (4) YEARS AGO!

Is I2P implementation another abandoned vaporware feature that Dash Core will use the tired old 'just not a priority' excuse to hand-wave away? Because funding crazy conspiracy theorists, MMA gladiators, Max Keiser RVs, ATM scams, and rain panchos are higher priorities?

Perhaps after Evolution is released (>2 years behind schedule), Dash will retake its "anonymity market share" from Monero.

But I doubt it. Evan is gone. Amanda is gone. There is no sparkle left in the Dash community. All that remains are overpaid middle-managers and second-rate developers dedicated to prioritizing marketing over technology. Embarrassed

The issue Dash is having right now is that we were given a roadmap that said, Evolution wallet testnet Nov 2017, DashCore 12.3 Dec 2017, Evolution wallet livenet Feb 2018. None of those things have happened. Evolution was supposed to be released in June, but considering they haven't accomplished the shit they were supposed to accomplish in November, we're at least 3 months behind schedule. That means that we can at the earliest, expect evolution by September 2018, which is probably a pretty optimistic goal, and we could easily see this get pushed into next year.

In recent history, Dash's coin performance compared to other top 20 coins has been abysmal, almost certainly due to the missed deadlines, lack of communication, and completely out of date FAKE roadmaps.

If we end up seeing this FanDuel, KuvaCash, ALT36, and Festy stuff fall through or underachieve (as it already has because it too did not deliver in the time frame stated which would have seen a January release), it could be a pretty shitty coin to hold over the next 3-6 months. I do hope that Core has their shit together and just prefer to be rather mum about things, but confidence in a team that is constantly missing deadlines is confidence in the face of overwhelming evidence, also known as stupidity.

I wonder how many top 20 coins out there have roadmaps that are admittedly incorrect and out of date?

Compare DashRoadmap.com to a competitor like CardanoRoadmap.com. The difference in the professionalism of development and transparency of management is like night and day.

For example, CardanoRoadmap.com tells us right at the top the next update will be in "9 days:8 hours:26 minutes:28 seconds" but Dash can't even get their story straight regarding an ETA for an ETA for their next roadmap update.

For the last 4+ years, Dash Clown Group is lost in the vaporware wilderness while the world moves on to better projects with more capable devs.
