Seriously we received all sort of contradictory informations throughout the months. From news that we had hundreds, no thousands, of merchants accepting Dash, to people on the ground saying that no one knew what Dash was, to people testing the Dash merchants and finding that many of them do not accept Dash anymore. There were several groups, sometimes in competition, working in Venezuela. Some disappearing at some point (Dash Venezuela?). Can we have a gantt chart of who was involved, what they did, how much dash they received, how much they asked and failed to receive, what worked and what didn't. This group by group, and then putting it all together for Venezuela and Latin America in general. I understand that some parts of this might brush the ego of some of the people involved which might explain why there is the sensation that some of it is being sweapt under the rug but we cannot do this. It is generally possible to tell a story in a way that is balanced enough that app people involved are ok with it (this groups says this, this other group says that...). Click to expand...

strophy said: developer capacity will only be available for this after Dash 1.0 has launched. @Dandy you're right, Evolution is not a prerequisite for adding PrivateSend in mobile wallets. PrivateSend can theoretically be added to both DashWallet (current Android and iOS wallets) and DashPay (the upcoming "Evolution" wallet), but LLMQ & Chained Instantsend needs to mature a bit first, and Click to expand...

I sincerely hope that it has been "abandoned."Just because a bunch of people that didn't have 1000 DASH decided to get together in a trusted manned and ad-hoc something together, does not mean it needs to become a protocol level problem for DCG to solve for you.It is purely a want presented by people who cannot a afford a masternode.It falls into the same category of people who demand that collateral be only 100 instead of 1000, just because they cant afford it. It's a huge protocol overhead issue, and there's no reason to waste time supporting/implementing it because it benefits DASH in no way.This is also not DCG's problem. The MNOs voted for it, let the MNOs figure it out. If a bunch of idiot children voted for crap they can't understand, can't manage, and didn't even pay attention... I guess that sucks for them. The only consequence is, yet again, looking like a bunch of idiots and making DASH into a laughing stock. And the consequences continue... DASH is spiraling into irrelevance. But, the MNOs never learn... This is the problem with consequence-free money for nothing. Oh, but the budget keeps shrinking... Yes! Because the world is watching the gross mismanagement of pretty much everything the MNOs touch. A bunch of idiots at the helm... Who wants to "invest" in that? How may years has it been and still the MNOs are a bunch of idiot woketards with stars in their eyes making DASH untouchable... You're never going to see Million Dollar MasterNodes again if you don't grow up... MNOs didn't care, free pile of money to piss away again next month! Maybe you're oblivious to them, but, yes, there are consequences. DASH's continued descent into irrelevance and market cap collapse are the consequence of this utterly stupid behavior... Don't cry to DCG about it. MNO's are responsible for this. You better grow up, because DASH is circling the bowl thanks to the MNOs. You can't even pay DCG, most of them are working for free... You're back to "crypto winter" levels while the coat tails you rode last time are soaring and leaving you behind because you've made an enormous joke of yourselves... I told you this was going to happen. Here we are......and when might that be? Before or after DCG files bankruptcy? Your expenses are still way too high, on things you don't need, and the budget is busted...
