Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

FOMO is intense. A lot of people (like me) probably sold a lot last year anticipating a drop in the BTC ratio with the halving and ETF.  Turns out that was... not the ideal decision.

What I'm trying to say is, this feels awfully similar to ETH's big break and there's no way I'm letting this get out of my range/up to another level before I own a masternode again.

I can only imagine how stressfull this rise and rise and rise of Dash is to our trolls, but stress being a key factor
does explain a few things about their posts lately.

It's even more stressful for fools like me who sold some thinking that it had to go down since BTC was bound to go up with the ETF hype...  Thinking about the number of masternodes I could have had at this price is just painful...

Also, every now and then I think about the guy that lost 28000 Dash on a bet a few years back.  I don't know how he deals with that when he sees the price now.

unless waves becomes a sucessful ico launch, 2x ico atleast... i dont see this new crowdfund working out. And why da fuq would you launch a crowdfund so fast... We just got on the exchanges, and the wallet is basically brand new with updates every other day.

Just stupid, and i don't think any waves investor is any bit excited to see another ICO from a platform we just gave 30k btc to... Actually, it seems disrespectful since at this point, ICO investors of waves arn't pulling a profit yet.


Yeah, developing Waves and letting people use the platform in the real world is so dumb.  That's not what we signed up for.  Where's our free money?


Seriously on average the dumbest group of people I've ever seen.  And you already have another ICO signature on your posts...  You have no idea what you're doing, do you?

Can anyone give me an estimate for how much someone could make voting for forging delegates?  Like per 1000 Lisk votes.  10 lisk per month?

Anyone have any idea how to figure this out?

anyone know if waves will be tradable after end ico perios , or will be delayed for months like lisk??
thank you in advance Cheesy

From what I've read it sounds like it will be tradable at some exchange right after, or soon after the ICO is finished.  Not the actual waves tokens, but tokens that will be exchanged 1:1 with waves once it is released late summer.

So no more lambo images, no more ready bodys? A lot of hype just for this shit, so the devs can dump all the lisk on us.

what a drama going on.


only insiders got profits. with such stupid openning.

You realize that the price is still 3x what anyone here paid, right?  Probably more than that with all the % bonuses and whatnot.  Tripling your money isn't bad.  I think it's probably opening higher than most people with realistic expectations thought it would.

Hey everyone, so this is a question about a different crypto, but since the Dash community is generally the most helpful I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew what might be going on since it's a semi-general question. 

So I sent a transaction, with the fee, and it isn't showing up in any block.  It has been an hour or two now.  I sent one right after it to the same poloniex address with same fee and it is showing up as confirmed...  Any ideas?
You sent  from Huh wallet, exchange?

From wallet to an exchange
so wallet problem, can you contact devs or someone

Yeah, I'll give that a shot.  Thanks.  Just thought I'd run it past you guys since people here usually know what's going on.  I haven't had this problem ever before.

Re: [ANN][LISK] Lisk | ICO | Decentralized Application & Sidechain Platform
by
Department of
on 24/03/2016, 03:01:50 UTC
I was originally waiting until the Lisk launch to announce my delegate plans, but given the recent amount of discussion, I will do a pre-announcement now.

I will be seeking to run 3 delegates, all of which feature different forms of profit sharing with the voters.

  • A profit sharing delegate which makes payments of earned Lisk directly to votors
  • A dapp seed funding delegate in which voters receive shares in a fund which owns shares or tokens of the dapps it funds
  • A funding delegate for a dapp which is of such immense scale that it merits its own delegate, which also awards shares to its voters

The initial percentage I will keep will be the equivalent of 50% of one delegate, divided by the number of delegates voted into the top 101. If one of the three is voted into the top 101, my percentage is 50%, if two are voted in, my percentage is 25% of each, and for all three voted in the percentage will be 16.7% each.

As the value of Lisk changes in value denominated in gold, the percentage I retain will be adjusted, but never exceed the rates above. Any changes in the delegate reward structure from Lisk will also be factored into any rate changes.

The rate changes based on the change in value in Lisk will be adjusted so that when the value of the earnings quadruples, the percentage I retain will be cut in half. This way, the increases in earnings will be divided evenly between the voters and myself.

In the interim period until the voter profit sharing dapp (https://forum.lisk.io/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27) or other software is availalbe, in the case of direct sharing of Lisk, I will hold the earnings in the delegate Lisk account for an initial distribution to voters based on their voting records stored on the Lisk Blockchain up to the time of the initial distribution. Succeeding distributions will be made on a regular cycle, most likely once every full forging round of the 101 Lisk Delegates.

I am keeping the names of the delegates quiet for now to try to avoid any would be name squatters from trying to register them first as delegates. Others planning to run delegates may want to consider this precaution as well.

I will also be offering services to set up and manage delegates for others. While the number of delegates is limited, setting up dapp clusters for the many different dapps which can be expected is a much larger potential market which will require a similar skill set.

Please keep me in mind for your votes, and I will reciprocate as well. Thanks.
Great, I support this initiative!

I have two remarks though:

Quote

I don't get that. Why not always keeping 50% and distributing the other 50%?

It would be a large windfall for one person to keep with a large increase of Lisk value, so by halving the management fee as earnings quadruples, it still allows a nice rise in earnings for managing the fund while making things steadily more attractive to supporters. Also, I expect other delegates with similar voter rewards plans will offer increasingly lower fees as the value of Lisk increases. In the other direction, if Lisk management decides to change the delegate rewards program due to an increase in Lisk value, the delegate fund management fee could be adjusted back up in a likewise manner, but never to exceed the initial fee rate.

Quote
Succeeding distributions will be made on a regular cycle, most likely once every full forging round of the 101 Lisk Delegates.
Quote
Meaning every 17min? I think it is not worth to distribute the little you make every 17 minutes. I think it would be enough to distribute it every day or even every week?

A lot depends on how well automated the distribution is. Another factor is the flat .1 Lisk transaction fee, so it might indeed be advantageous to do the distributions once a day or even once a week instead of every block cycle. Crypti used .1% for a transaction fee, so the frequency of distribution wouldn't matter. Good point, though - Lisk is different in this regard.

Glad you like the plan, Thanks!

You'll get my votes. I like your ideas for helping the coin and platform grow.  Investing/speculation is one of crypto's killer apps right now, so the profit sharing is big.  And obviously the more dapps and higher quality dapps the better. 

Anyway, I'm new to the whole dpos system, I've tried to do some research and I know it's hard to estimate at this point, but I'm just curious about what you think someone could make for each 5000 lisk of voting power?

tok.. .what crash? It's not happening! Should have happened by now, no? Only waves of uptrend. Slight "correction" today, but still... what's your take?

Don't know. If the 1-hour correction manages to complete before the 30-minute chart rolls over again then it might survive this level and propel on a bit. But the rise is pretty phenomenal. There's something totally unnatural about it. I've seen it so many times - Blackcoin, Maza, Bitbay, you name it. Somebody is sitting there with an absolute monster reservoir of Ether just waiting to pick their moment. They need to wait for enough liquidity to build at the lower levels which will be their primary dumping ground.

a.t.m. I don't see it getting past that last high - people would be a bit mad to start buying in at this point.

[Sorry for off-topic garbage. Current background topic of the day.]

I thought things might be getting spread around a little more with all the volume ETH has been having, but I looked at the top addresses in the block explorer last night and it spooked me.  There are still over 100 address with 100000+ ETH sitting in them- and the top 572 are still over 20000. These 20000 ETH people casually dropped in 10 BTC to the IPO and are now sitting on over $116000 at the current price...

There are a few threads going on over at r/Bitcoin about incentivizing nodes that might be of interest to people here.  Dash has been mentioned in both of them.
Thanks for the info.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3p84us/to_node_or_not_to_node_exploring_incentives_to/
and
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3p5n9c/number_of_bitcoin_nodes_is_at_a_6_year_low_if_you/

'The other problem is that it's not easy to set a bandwidth rate limit.
I believe that more people would run nodes if the Bitcoin client just ran unobtrusively and reliably in the background, consuming no more than about 100GB of bandwidth per month by default. '



Thanks for linking.  This one is on the front page of r/Bitcoin as well.  People are trying to figure out answers to problems that Dash has already solved.

Loving Dash since day ~400.

I posted something similar to this about 6 months ago, but I feel like now's a good time to give people my story again. I want both the people researching DASH for the first time, and the old holding veterans who are nervous the FUD might scare people away to know the viewpoint of someone fairly new.

As someone who came in "late" to DASH, I literally could not care less about all the "instamine" drama that a few select posters on here whine about.  There was obviously plenty of time when people could have bought in by the thousands for dirt cheap and they didn't do it.  They're just angry that they blew their chance.

Before I bought DASH I looked into the technology, where it was going, and what some of their ideas for the future were.  I looked at the dev team who pumps out a higher number of more innovative and bigger features faster than I've seen any other coin or tech company produce. And I looked at the fact that Bitcoin essentially hasn't changed the entire time I've been a proponent of it...  That's really what sold me on it.  DASH gets stuff done.  They have the most innovative ideas, they have the skill set to back it up, and they're not afraid to adapt and change things to make the technology better, even if it makes a few people angry.

When researching DASH, my first source of information was the Dashtalk forums.  When I became fully involved in it and needed more discussion to read throughout the day, I came here.  Long story short, other than just impressing me with their ability to spend all day everyday being completely negative without becoming suicidal, the FUD spreaders have had no effect on a new DASH investor/investigator.

The community is amazing and very helpful with anything and everything.  I've been very impressed all around.  Keep up the good work, dev team, testers (very undervalued as I've seen in other projects), and Dash community!  Thanks!

Hey, just letting you know, even though I've been MIA for a while I still believe in this project and where it's going.  Not too worried about price right now.  Inflation is high and bitcoin has been going up, so it's to be expected.  As the features keep coming and things become more stable people will realize the potential of this project.  Keep up the good work devs.  Let me know if there's any non-technical things I can help with.

Fancy a banknode service like the one flare has got for dash, crouton?Cheesy




what service is this?

Somebody, please do this.

He starts the vps and deals with that side of the masternode and just gives the people a file and tells them the commands they need to start it from their wallet, so you don't have to trust anyone with coins. He just charges a flat monthly fee for the vps, updates, etc.
