No doubt this forum has been priceless for everything happened so far but I think at one point a decision needs to be made about its future. Not to close the forum but to make it invite only or hide it from the masses.

There's so much talent and ideas here and discussions should continue, but since BitSharesX is shaping up rather nicely and it's about to get promoted to the world wouldn't it be better to start something new aimed at end users? This goes for DNS and Music as well. I think the people who actually can contribute to something are already here and those who aren't will find their ways via invites.

I think it's another small but necessary step to get rid of the shady and sometimes amateurish appearance which the whole cryptoworld is suffering from (as seen from the world outside). It's a business and when people are doing some research on all this (Google) they should be presented with facts and numbers, not with endless discussions of uncertainties. Most end users would only care about functionality, privacy and profits, not about how it's made.

I think we should continue using this as development and behind-the-scenes forum and come up with a unified front for all others. Of course all user accounts can be migrated to the new environment but it should act as a real product support forum with a suggestion box while the real work is being done here.

Just my thoughts, looking forward hearing your opinions.

Hi guys and girls!



We've created DACZine http://www.daczine.com/ and hope this will be of use for some of you. Gathering information scattered
around the forums and various other websites is quite time consuming and often a point of discussion for
newcomers or people who've been away for a while. We hope this service will help you keep staying up to
date with the latest (development) news and interesting articles without taking too much of your valuable time.

What is it?
Well it's basically an semi-automated newsletter service and front-end for you to browse older news.
We'll send out at least one newsletter a week containing all important news from the previous week sorted
by various categories. If you like you can also opt-in for newsflashes which will be sent on a more
regular basis to hear about things instantly when they become available. RSS support is also available.

What will you publish?
We collect most content ourselves and you have the option to submit an article or news message yourself
via our website. Newsletters will also contain 'official' messages by the I3 team and other DAC developers if they
wish to have them published to our readers. Of course you can also notify us if you think we've missed something
in a previous release.

When will this become available?
The platform is up and running and we're now collection articles for our first release. You can sign up or
submit your content via our website DACZine.com

When will you send the first newsletter?
It's scheduled one week from now (September 15) to allow you to submit more content and allow us to fix some
more nasty bugs.

Can I help?
Yes! We would be most grateful that if you like this service to spread the word and promote it wherever you can. The
larger our subscribers base the better our content and platform will become. Basically your support is all we need to
get going! Donations are welcomed of course but better wait with that until we've proven ourselves useful to you

I have a question/comment
Please contact us via our website or just write it below this post if that's easier for you.

Note
We're setting up a new mail server right as we speak, email confirmations might not arrive now but we
will make sure to activate your account manually if this is the case.

DACZine - Keeping you in the loop!

You've seen it often before '$x reward for the tip which leads to solve case y'. Theses 'bounties' are set by your local authorities and only for cases on which they think are the most important, of course there are many more cases which can benefit from this reward system and I think it fits perfectly for a DAC. I could see such system especially usefull in the field of hacks, child abuse, stolen coins, scams and other dark things which are happending on the internet.

How does it work?
First of all a police report should be obtained or make your case verifyable in other ways (news reports, server logs etc) . Then a 'crowd sourcing' campaign can be started to raise money from the shareholders who are willing to solve this case. Now at this point everyone can help solve this case depending on your specific skills and submit their tips to the system. All tips are being collected and are visibile to anyone. The shareholders can vote on which tip(s) have led
to solve it and the 'detectives' get paid out based on the % of their contribution leading to solve it. A name, address and phone number obviously leads to a larger payout then an IP address. For each case a clear goal should be stated by the submitter (Get a name, get a country, etc).

What does it solve?
It helps solve all cases which are not being picked up by the police, do not have the right priority according to them or are still unsolved after an x amount of time. You can then turn to our system and ask for help because crime should be punished sooner or later.

Who can make use of it?
White hat hackers, internet dectives and amateurs with time on their hands and love to dig into things. Of course anyone can submit a case regarding of their
background and skills. I could even see a time when official authorities will turn to this system for unsolved cold cases.

How shareholders will get paid?
Unsolved cases will return to the share holders proportionally to their all-time contribution and they have a take on transaction fees. Of course we could also let the case submitter pay for the case so there's more profit or have the case submitter put up an upfront-bounty which will become avaible if the case is solved. There are many ways to make this profitable really.

Why it should be build?
To help people who have been a victim of any crime and yet another great way of showing what a DAC can do for our community.

Just wondering..

I read about it a while back but couldn't find the specific thread anymore. Just to verify:

Will 'JohnDoe' be the same as 'johndoe' or do caps also add uniqueness of names?

A small suggestion would be not to allow spaces (or any special character) at the
beginning/end of names to help fight impersonators. Of course you can also check
reputations points and registration date but for the average Joe it will be easily
mistaken.

I happen to have a Keyhotee ID with an ö in it. Same thing goes for that, it would
be wise to threat ö and o as the same character to prevent copycats.

Well the title says it all, I'm glad I stumbled upon this great community and I wish everyone happy holidays and an awesome 2014! I've never seen so many groundbreaking ideas coming from one community and I think if everyone contributes to these ideas in any possible way this thing is gonna hit big next year. Cheers and drink responsibly 

Only buying from respected forum members or with Escrow service. Price fixed until December 18th then I'll reconsider the bid. Thanks
