Hi guys,

Today I woke up to find that DASH went up about 40%

I would like to read your comments on what could be happening for this price super climb!

Do you think DASH can be the BTC killer? In your own opinion what are the main features that can allow DASH to surpass BTC?

This brings back memories .. about one of my threads now long dead and forgotten.

Is Dash a better alternative to Bitcoin?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1130870.0

Now dont you all dare to bring it back from the death !!  ::)

Of course DASH is a better alternative (technologically-wise) than bitcoin.  Almost any altcoin is better than bitcoin.  Bitcoin is the most primitive version of crypto, so there's no doubt that most altcoins are better.  There are a few that are worse, true.

1) Instant transactions - only Dash masternodes can provide this - Dash has over 4000+ of them and allows dash to scale and provide point of sale and instant double spend safe confirmations & purchasing in 1-3 seconds. No other coin has this.
2) Private Send - optional privacy that has never been broken and been working for years, still allows a transparent blockchain to allow point of sale transactions to occur instantly and be verifiable on the blockchain. All other anon coins cannot do this. Without this, there is no mainstream adoption!
3) Incentivized nodes (Masternodes) provide solid infrastructure to the network and get paid to do so unlike BTC. You need 1000 Dash to become one and have voting rights on the network for governance.
4) Governance - we have 10% blockchain funding to help market, develop and grow the network, the more we grow, the more budget we have. Masternodes vote on which projects are funded to help grow! The other 90% block rewards is (45% Masternodes & 45% Miners)
5) Dash Evolution - on the horizon - this is the BTC Killer Application which is targetting the masses and aims to allow you to be your own bank. Usernames instead of addresses, Single wallet online that can be accessed from anywhere, Vault accounts for interest savings and theft protection, Marketplace, etc et... Its insane...goto Dash.org for more. The vision for this is to make crypto easy for the masses and allow your mum to use Dash like their existing bank account!
6) Because of Governance we form new partnerships that can be funded by the blockchain, new massive exchange integration in a few weeks, Blockcypher, ProtonMail, BlockPay etc etc...
7) The best community in the crypto scene, friendly etc.
8 ) Test of time - Dash has been around for 3+ years and is solid and has delivered time and time again with a world class dev and commercial team who have names to faces and arent going anywhere.

Bitcoin old timers who are frustrated are now moving out of BTC into Dash - Roger Ver stated that Dash is his top Altcoin to hedge against BTC.

Dash is the real deal, dont believe trolls who missed out and are hating on Dash. Yes it had a rocky start and everyone knows about the high amount of coins mined at the start, but 3 years later no one really cares except for trolls as thats their last resort.

For those interested what kind of budget proposals are voted on by masternode owners :

Which reminds me, i still have some budget proposals to vote on.
(only 3 days left to vote before our next superblock will process all passed budget proposals).

Finally Dash rules!

thanks for all this info!
Unfortunately, I've sold all of my dash last year... now I'm just really pissed with that...
How can I support the network (apart from mining)? Can I run a masternode? and if so, will I have some benefits for that?

I think a master node will cost you about $50,000

Yeah even I was surprised that how come suddenly it's price increased so much I was going to invest in dash I guess I missed a really good opportunity. Good anyone suggest me that should I invest in dash or I should wait for the price to reduce.

IMO, this price increase was just manipulation. The rise was simply too big to be a natural one. If you take a look it is already crashing. Just wait a little bit and buy it bellow .017

Try and keep it real guys ..i see a lot of lying and bullshitting about the price (For or Against)

Too late, my friend! For now, at least, even people like myself previously oblivious to the potential of DASH will be wondering and reading up about it, just as they have been doing for ETH.

For all its tech superiority, though, it'll take a lot more than what it seems on surface for an alt to rise for the long term.

Dash is great and better than BTC...  except for its initial distribution, how do you guys address 'instamine' issue (and how it is different that premine)?
During the first 24 hours there was about 1.99 Million coins issued (current DASH coin supply 7,134,095).
Also I heard that DASH had something called "difficulty retargeting bug" when coins were mined extremely fast.

Dash began sincking. Sell dash and buy LTC asap. Ltc is begining to boom! Look at it!

This should be the proper title of this thread:

You don't like dash now? man you took some persuading back in the day. When did you see the light?

I was an altcoin chasing fool back in those days. I admittedly mined Darkcoin (now Dash), formerly known as Xcoin in the first few days. I have gotten rid of most of it through 2015/2016 after finding some balance in old wallets. I strongly dislike newbies being sold stories of a 'wonderland' called Dash when it fact it's a very centralized (supply and masternode wise) coin. The masternode concept was never about rewarding node owners or anything of that sort. It was put in place to artificially reduce the available market supply after the instamine.

Tl;dr on Dash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchise_fraud

Fair enough. Time is sometimes needed to see things more clearly.

BEFORE you were STAFF ? ;)

What i find curious is why do you all support it if it's so bad ?
$50 bucks a coin guys..
Ethereum going back up to $20 etc etc.

The only scam you are willing to call out is the one you are NOT bag-holding.

When are you all going to see how fucking silly this clown show has become ?
I am such a big Dash shill ?
I never owned any aside from arb'ing a few Darkcoin briefly during a period of 1 day maybe for $100 roughly.(prob less)
And i arb'd back in early 2014 pretty much anything LOL
Although i tried to avoid ICO shit like Ripple. (never touched it)
Never touched a dash coin ever either.. or Monero or any so called Anon coin.

I also tried to avoid Dark Coin too because i did hate it but it had lots of price surges so i got in on a couple of them back then.
If you are arb'ing for profit in the early days there was little choice on what to buy and sell.

But more and more i rapidly realized two things.
What i get to choose to arb is fast getting worse & worse. (selection)
And the ability to arb coins in a timely fashion was diminishing (Exchange stability)

The 2 above factors led me to quit trading.. the coins are corrupt and the exchanges are corrupt = I QUIT !
..long ago.

I did 0 trades and noticed recently i had about $25 in BTC sitting on Bittrex and bought some LTC with it just for the hell of it.. then BTC rocketed up in price LOL

Maybe 6 months before that i noticed i had $25 in there and just gave it away.
That has been the total of my trading in about 2.5 years roughly.
The game is a joke and i'd just as soon give my coins away they play a rigged scammy shithole fucktard crypto game.

Apparently some faucet site i went to back in the day keeps paying me money all year round LOL
I passed around my referral link --> http://freebitco.in/?r=6035 or http://freedoge.co.in/?r=1876
And i guess i am making a good $50 a year doing literally nothing what so ever  :D
So they are one of the few legit stable honest services out there i think.

EDIT: If it was not for those to ref links i would literally have NOTHING. (i am not trying to advertise them just explain myself)

And....it's ...gone

Correct. I have an extremely strong and different opinion on a lot of things now. I guess there was a lot of foreseen bias as I was mining a lot of them myself.

No. I was supporting Dash when it was still called Darkcoin, and that was long before I was a staff member.

I don't have any altcoins.

Dump all your Dash and crash the market. We know you can do it.  :P

Pump and dump the shitcoin, classic.

Bag holding .. i meant everyone here.
And i have never owned any Dash in any way at all.
Nor any anon type coin.. i don't believe in supporting them.

But i mentioned that earlier because i did arb a little bit of Dark Coin briefly.
AND i tried to resist it for ages too while others were all making money off it.

I use to like to arb coins but like i said the selection got worse.
And the crowd is in control.
It gets harder to make money the more you go your own way..
Morality does not make for good trading LOL
Or at least it's the harder road to travel.

Dash these days ? Dash at all ever ? I really don't care.
Just keep it real guys.. so far i have seen outright lying about the price etc.
I can't stand liars.

I guess that's the price this year will reach $ 100

For sure I hope it will reach $300 in a few days !

Now I see your reasoning for there are no scams possible in crypto ... You are a dash holder?

Relax. I'm just pulling your tail.  :P

Do continue your fight against these scam coins please.

The actual value of dash should be under $10. Its inventors/developers should be in prison for the huge similarity to a pyramid scheme. Maybe it is time to send a tip to the cyber division in the US.  ::)

No, not at all.  I run an empty dash node on an old server for the fun of it.  I do not possess one single dash.  I used to have 2 or 3 dash, to be able to play with it, because I was interested in the anon aspect of it.  When it turned out that I needed more money even to be able to use "darksend" (as it was called back then), I sold them.

I never put more than a few tens of $ in crypto, unless I need to buy something more expensive.

My hope for high DASH prices (and falsely turned into high market cap, but it is good publicity for the gullible) is that it might shake out established beliefs about the superiority of one coin over another.

Fair enough, makes sense.
