Dash wasted many years of irreplaceable time and millions of dollars on Evolution, which is still vaporware with no MVP or even a roadmap. Dash cultists believed spending money would guarantee results, ignoring scope creep and the bloated Corp Group Inc become a self-serving entrenched bureaucratic fiefdom insulated from the real world where price and results matter. DashHoles loved their instamine more than they hated the irredeemable reputation for fraud that came along with it. They thought crying "FUD" and "troll" would convince the market to ignore Dash's instamine, centralization, snake oil marketing, and laugh-out-loud bad crypto. There were wrong. At this rate, Dash may not even be in the Top 20 by the end of the year. I don't think there is really something wrong with DASH, the general sentiment in the market is not that positive for the moment and all coins have dropped massively the last couple of months.
That's a very poor hand-waving excuse given Dash is dropping more "massively" than many other coins in its peer group. When Dash was mooning along with the rest of the sector, we were told it was due to Dash's super-special unique unicorn properties (Treasury to fund Shrem Attacks, Masternode HYIP to launder money, PrivateSend to amuse GMAX with its broken version of Coinjoin, etc). But now you want to appeal to generalities to avoid uncomfortable specifics? Lol, get out of here with that self-serving cult recruitment propaganda. This is not Dash.org or Reddit; we are smarter than that here.  |

Why are people posting bullshit news while dash is crashing? 15 on coin market cap now.
Wow, nice. Been waiting to see that all day and caught the #Dashening on livecoinwatch in real time! TYVM for the heads up! History is being made. It's time to seriously consider firing Ryan The Clown and the rest of bungling Dash Corp Group Inc circus, then giving their budget and development duties to IOHK, who have help shepherd ETC into Dash's old #14 spot using less money and much, much less marketing. |

At that point it’s over, nobody’s going to invest in such a weak crypto. There’s no point in owning a node if it’s not worth anything. As predicted, Dash continues to bleed out under the incompetent reign of Ryan Taylor and his for-profit Dash Corp Group Inc entity.  ... You and your scum monereo trolls aka "fluffy cult" are in trouble. Let's just say this... You too late to change the tide. Watch the following video very carefully... The pace is quickening and your concern is well founded...that Dash's development is now reaching critical mass. And those of us that know.  when all this starts to click in place... Your "fluffy cult" will have been out gunned. Also... We know that the "fluffy cult" is not only worried about their one trick "pony" (like what I just did there?) ... The "fluffy cult" has a covert plan afoot to try and get their greasy fluffy paws on what we are developing. That is why no one in Dash is discussing anything is detail openly... Your "fluffy cult" are Thieves. Sad to see paranoid "Angry Drunk" (wife beating?) DashHoles lashing out and threatening critics who warned them this would happen, but were ignored or called "trolls" as thanks for their insights. Dash  |

And It Was WrittenThere is only so much support for Dash at 1.8. When those bids are gone, it's a free fall down to zero.
Looking at the daily candle, we find a beautiful "Long Upper Shadow" red hammer, poised to smash Dash down to new lows vs Monero: Where is Dash's roadmap? Where is the supposed ETA for the ETA for the roadmap update that was supposed to announced by the end of June? Where is Evan Duffield? Has be abandoned Dash entirely? If nobody fills Evan's thought leadership role, Dash will continue to crash vs coins like Monero, which are run by real cypherpunks who actually write and ship working code.
Firing Chuck Williams is a good sign Dash Inc is going to stop the endless bike-shedding of Evolution's UI, but it's not enough to stop the downward trend. More heads need to roll, starting at the top with Ryan Taylor.As predicted, Dash continue to bleed out under the incompetent reign of Ryan Taylor and his for-profit Dash Corp Group Inc entity. Sad to see the DashHoles so angry they are lashing out at the critics who warned them this would happen, but were ignored or called "trolls" as thanks for their insights. Dash

Besides technological shortcomings, the biggest issue for Dash and especially Masternode owners is the legal concept called DELIBERATE INDIFFERENCEThis is now the most likely reason everyone in the new Dash office may be handcuffed and frogmarched off to jail in the near future. Watch this appropriately specialized attorney explain why. Bonus points if you catch his dig at Dash for spending $250k for half-assed legal advice that did not address this critical issue. Edit: everyone should rewind and watch the entire show. Siebert demolishes the tired old DashHole talking points over and over. My personal favorite moment is where he points out that all the so called "Clarifications" about (ie, deflections and lame excuses for) the Instamine are just the Chewbacca defense.  Okay it's been 15 months, where is the Evolution release? I'll tell you where your precious Evolution release is. Evolution is stuck in Howey Test Creek without a paddle. Evolution is still 100% vaporware. In fact, Evolution has made substantial negative progress over the years, going from a miniscule 6-month ETA two years ago to the impressive 12-month ETA we have today. Every MNO who voted to invest Treasury money in Dash Core has been completely over-promised and under-delivered to. Dash Core has enjoyed effective management and control of the Dash project for many years but the ROI on Evolution development is zero (or actually negative given any IP generated is now outdated). That's because all the blue-sky Smart Contract DAPP DAO CYBERPUNK 2027 pulp science fiction Evan Duffield dreamed up when he was high never was really anything more than creative writing pushed by greed and HYIP marketing. Evan's go-nowhere pipe-dream boondoggles all had to be thrown out and Evolution had to be restarted from square one. Evan ran away to work on physical vaporware, starting a domino effect of other key players who were critical to early success leaving, such as Amanda B. Carsaleman. Then that same cycle of over-spec and collapse happened again, wasting another year! Now Evolution's grand ambitions have been reduced from their original bloated Project Xanadu 2: Instamine Boogaloo scope down to the modest goal of just being yet another P2P money-sending app, so Mom (or even Grandmom) can top up Sally's wallet with an advance on her allowance because she really needs to buy something from China at the mall or whatever. And we still don't have a feature freeze or finalized MVP. All off this behind-the-scenes failure was until days ago the subject of a cover-up. Dash Core didn't mention the bad (or any) news, and the Dash community winked because they knew not to ask questions with unpalatable answers. When Tante and the other cheerleaders where drunkenly spending their newfound Treasury wealth on stupid-expensive showboat projects like Aerobatic Man and Ben Swann's PIVX Studio, nobody but "trolls" gave a thought to what happens when the good times end and the boom turns into a bust. That would have violated the Dash Cargo Cult's all-important Pollyanna Narrative, don't you know... But then Dash Cargo Cult Narrative collapsed on its own, because of Dash Core Group Incorporated's failure to deliver the promised goods, despite massive spending on bamboo runways and lavish compensation/luxury travel packages for the rapidly multiplying C-level execs. Even the cover-up is collapsing, as MNOs start to wake up and ask questions about how there can possibly be so little to show for so much money being spent over so much time, forcing a grudging (albeit PR agency pablum) apology with the standard pro-forma "mistakes were made" passive voice absolution of responsibility. Now the infamous Dash Roadmap has been updated, but not in an honest way. No, the Dash roadmap was changed to say it was going to be updated and the old, mostly-blown milestone dates were surreptitiously removed. See https://github.com/dashpay/dash-roadmap/commits/02ae69970c1ab6a258b5541d1560e98c124d690d/README.md for all the gory/hilarious details. Why don't you explain how Evolution is more than 2.5 years behind schedule? You can't, that's why. Why don't you explain why nmarley said we'd have an ETA for the ETA for the roadmap update by the end of June? You can't, that's why.  Even your fellow Masternode owners are now mocking your childlike belief in Dash Corp Inc's infallibility and misplaced confidence in Evolution's timely development and release schedule. Simply rubber-stamping Dash Corp Inc's forever expanding budget requests is no more assurance of Evolution's timely delivery than building a bamboo runway will cause cargo planes to land. You have sat silently while Dash Corp Inc has grown into a big fat pig that hogs all the food available in the Treasury trough, while starving little Venezuelan and African piglets are left to beg for scraps. That's because you are a big fat pig yourself, being a spoiled rich kid with absolutely no regard for normal business practices such as holding demonstrably incompetent employees+managers accountable for poor performance and blown self-imposed deadlines. |

Well... On a different topic... Just finished coming back from my first dirt bike ride of the year! So good to be outside in sun ripping it up!!! Going back out again tomorrow! C ya suckas later...

I think dash is making much more progress in terms of building use case communities around the world. The decentralized governance structure and instantsend tech make it impossible for monero to compete with. This is reflecting in the price.
You Don't Say?  Dash testing critical YTD support levels at 2:1 XMR. Once that psychologically important round number floor is breached, expect the stampede of Masternode owners rushing for the exists to get very ugly and bloody. As was foretold, so shall it be: |

Some time ago (4 months ago i think, maybe longer ago) a wellknown Dash user (who's name i forgot by the way ) posted that Dash would unbelieveably drop to $200. At the time that seemed like something totally unrealistic to post as Dash (like all the other altcoins) was trading at a much much higher price level, so i did not put much thought to it. But then Bitcoin market started to change into a severe bear market, dragging the altcoins with it and here we are at $239,- Kudos to you, whoever you are (and no, i dont mean you icey  ) I think once Bitcoin reaches a clear bottom (which i suspect will be in the lower $5000 range) and starts to trade sideways for awhile, most of the altcoins will recover and end up in a bull market. Some altcoins though will profit more then others, i suspect Dash will be one of those altcoins that will profit more and will be able to reach a new ATH. The reason i think that Dash will profit more is because some altcoins that risen to the top 15 are to this day still too much hyped and will most likely end up getting further price corrections. Dash is very carefull about not hyping its project too much and started its process of price corrections earlier, therefore needing to price correct less and less by now. Once more regulation takes place and institutional money can more easily enter the market, things will change rapidly for both Bitcoin and valuable altcoin projects like Dash. That is when longtime investors will truly get rewarded and that is what i'm waiting for. It's about time you owned up to months of pure shilling via the medium of teleological TA. Your pumping was getting really old and anyone who listened is down, or liquidated if they were leveraged thanks to that beautiful 60% flash crash. Your TA is garbage. It was never going to make the case for Sell or Hold; you were always going to speculate positive dreams to induce noobs to Buy. OTOH, I warned for months of the negative trend for Dash. You can scream "troll" and whine about "FUD" all you like but you can't stop the tide. Look at the posts on this page. Do you see the trend, where Dash keeps falling to new lows against Monero?
Where is the Evolution whitepaper? Where is Dash's segwit roadmap? Are DashHoles really stupid enough to believe their vaporware is better than Lightning on Litecoin?

I had a look at the rules and couldn't find anything about no posting price speculation in the announcement thread.  I did notice quite high up the list no trolling is a rule.  Can you please refrain from trolling and thereby breaking the rules  Asking qwizzie and you to stop posting price speculation, TA, and price updates is not trolling. It is trolling to imply I'm breaking some rule by asking you two repeat offenders to follow the No Price Speculation/TA/Price Update rules. How many GIANT screenshots of CMC and tradingview do you really want posted to the Dash ANN thread every day? 2? 15? 42? Here is the information which allegedly eluded your reading comprehension on all previous occasions: >>> ATTENTION: PRICE SPECULATION DISCUSSIONS DO NOT BELONG HERE <<<https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1572439.0A new board called Speculation (Altcoins) was created and as such, discussions pertaining to speculation of altcoin prices and possibly other related threads should be now created in the new board. In case this guidance is not clear, I'll offer you some additional information to make sure you are able to successfully follow the rules (a courtesy denied to some posters by Tao if they dare to offer opinions to the contrary of his Dash Pump cheerleaders). Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_guidelinesAnnouncements (Altcoins) - Altcoin announcements, generic (usually announcement like) coin discussion threads. Speculation (Altcoins) - Discussion about altcoin prices. This includes discussion about portfolios ("what altcoins are you holding?"), price predictions ("is coin X going to reach 10$ next week?" or "why is this coin's price so low?") and general speculation ("are the altcoin markets crashing?"). Please, never again presume to question my expertise when in fact you are unable to successfully navigate the rules of a simple internet forum you have for many years been a participating member of. p.s I can't work it out, you seem to be against rules in Dashtalk and reddit but for rules on bitcointalk. Did I get that right? Its hard to tell amongst all your drivel. Yes, I'm against Tao's silly, subjective, selectively/arbitrarily/capriciously enforced "no speculation presented as fact" rule, for the reasons I've already described above. Tao has no power to require everyone say "IMO" at the beginning of every sentence on Bitcointalk, for which I am eternally grateful. This isn't the only Dash forum not under the control of Good Cop Tao's velvet glove and Bad Cop Basilpop's iron fist. There is also https://www.reddit.com/r/DashUncensored. For some reason, Tao is unaware there are two places Basilpop and he have no power to censor controversy under color of moderation. I'll be to make sure to raise awareness of the underappreciated https://www.reddit.com/r/DashUncensored/ by any means necessary. |

Bump. ANN thread TA and price speculation still being posted by Legendary users who definitely know it is against the rules: I think someone mentioned this already... bullish divergence on the day chart.  chartDash heading down vs bitcoin again just now, might represent good dip to buy. At some point soon Trend will reverse. Bullishly. (my opinion of course)Fundamentals of Dash are great. One of the best distributed coins around. On chain scaling. Pioneer of incentivised nodes. Instant send without needing to trust zero conf transaction. Privacy options. Non contentious upgrades using hard forks via goverance and sporks. Treasury to spend on development and marketing, or whatever else deemed fit by the network. Next to its main competitor, bitcoin cash, it seems seriously undervalued. |

What has reddit and other forums got to do with bitcointalk ?
Nothing.
Dash Masternode owners voted to pay TaoOfSatoshi to regulate the toxic, out-of-control subreddit mod Basilpop. Details are here: https://www.dashcentral.org/p/dn-discord-renewal-06-11. Please read up on this and inform yourself before trying to shut down discussion. If you bothered to read the text of my post it would be obvious we are discussing Tao's brave yet doomed efforts to apply his new rules equally to mods and users alike. Thank you for prompting me to check DashCentral for the latest updates from Tao. I'm tickled pink to see him write "Project update: The process of unifying the other two forums to Dash Nation rules is going well. There are some who are not happy due to the rules changing and not allowing them to do things they may have gotten used to getting away with, but for the most part the transition has been smooth." That means Basilpop, as I predicted he would, threw many tantrums and screamed like a little bitch when firmly told he had to behave and stop nullifying millions of dollars worth of Dash marketing with his thuggish, bullying approach to moderation. The other link to bitcointalk is that Tao is a Legend here, and even earned the nickname TaoOfSpamtoshi back before he passed DashSpamForce duties on to NiburuHybrid and solowhizkid. I've analysed the posting style of 'demo15'.
- Highlights certain key parts in large font using different colour.
- Turns up daily to repost the same post again trying to bump it up to the top of the thread
- Quick to respond to any disagreement
- Tries to hold the moral highground while actually trolling.

Hmmm
This is pure paranoid idiocy. Demo can barely write English, while exceedingly few individuals in the entire world could possibly emulate my bombastic style and raconteur's verve. OTOH, I'm not anywhere as skilled as Demo with math and programming. He's made great contributions to Dash, but the Dash Cargo Cult hates him because he is (yes, exactly like me) fiercely independent and implacably hostile to the DashHole community requirement of drinking at least 1.5 liters of Duffield-flavored Kool-Aid per day. Here is something the polite-but-dim Dash 'reservation Indians' should have thought to make for themselves long ago but failed to, so Demo made it for them. Which masternodes voted and what exactly voted on various proposals.
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/which-masternodes-voted-and-what-exactly-voted-on-various-proposals.18172/"In this thread I will post the IP addresses of the masternodes and what they voted on various proposals. IP's are public on dashninja already, but we dont know what exactly each IP voted in various proposals. This information is not aggregated. By Keeping this kind of statistics, we can create a voting profile for each masternode. The main reason YOU HAVE TO keep statisics in order to analyze the voting behavior of every masternode IP, is that in every superblock (every month) the votes are designed to be deleted, in order for the community to lost the traces of the voting behavior of the masternodes. Thats why in the above statistics, you may noticed that many proposal files are empty of votes. So everybody, run the script and keep the statistcs, in order to reveal the MNOs behavior (and the spies)." |

Some people are demonstrating through their posts that they are living outside the realm of reality when they show a belief
that certain rules should not apply to them, when those rules most certainly do apply to them.
Simple fact is when someone has gone full troll there is no going back, their reputation will get tarnished and people will always
remember them for who they really are.
It's true, the Dash Mod Basilpop (Macrochip here) amply demonstrated through his posts he believes the rules of the Dash sub (old and new rules BTW) don't apply to him. People will always remember Basilpop for what he really is because of this: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/basilpop-the-dash-subreddit-moderator-does-not-have-the-temperament-to-moderate-that-community.37653/and this: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/basilpop-the-dash-subreddit-moderator-does-not-have-the-temperament-to-be-a-moderator-part-2.37699/There is no going back for Basilpop; his reputation is too tarnished by the 100s of Bastard Moderator From Hell posts he made over the last three years. I am in negotiations with TaoOfSatoshi.
I am waiting for him to restore my original demo account in dashtalk.
Then I will put all the falsy rules of Tao into a community vote.
Most of the rules are extremely vague and can be misinterpreted according to the secret agenda of the moderators.
I hope that the dash community will vote against the censorship and the death that is represented by Tao.
It’s not censorship if someone posts something that goes against clearly posted rules, Demo. You’re not being treated differently than anyone else. Respectful and courteous dialogue without BS is my goal, staying a welcoming environment for newcomers. And demo isn't the only exception to your unenforceable "everybody starts at 0" policy. It's too bad you simply lack the power to do what you said you were going to do and are impotent to enforce the amnesty policy, which IMO was actually a good idea if you could have pulled it off. It's funny how Tao's pretense of "everybody starts at zero" failed to last more than 24 hours before collapsing under the weight of being contradicted by the actual reality of 'everybody starts at zero, except for irredeemable trolls, unless that irredeemaable troll is a Dash mod named Basilpop.' So much furious backpedaling by Tao I'm surprised the chain didn't come off his bicycle!  Tao was ostensibly given power by MNO vote to drain the Dash forum swamps by enforcing the rules equally across the board and with no exceptions because Basilpop's Toxic Mod Exceptionalism was the root cause of the subreddit problem. Now we see the Global Amnesty was just a farce, cynical maneuvering intended only to produce a plausible reason to avoid the fact Basilpop cannot be removed as a Mod no matter what he did to demonstrate he has gone full troll for several years, thereby tarnishing Dash's reputation to such an extreme degree that the Dash project and coin are actually actively hated and vehemently despised in r/CC and the wider world of crypto. Basilpop cucked you Tao, and even worse he cucked you in your own community while you were just trying to do your job. Now do you understand why he has to go, even if that means making a new Dash subreddit where he lacks Brutal Dictator For Life privileges? Yes, I see banning (or even demoting Basilpop) for the same or worse trolling as others who have been banned for life is beyond your control. But you were Officially supposed to have to that control because the MNOs voted to give you that power. You mistakenly thought and claimed you had that power but got BTFO by Basilpop in less than a day or two. That's why I used the (very apt, IMO) cuckhold metaphor: Basilpop is a strong, virile Chad Mod and you are a submissive, cucked Virgin Mod who bemoans his own impotence while watching the Chad mod do whatever he wants with the sub he has bent over as his personal plaything. Posting speculation as fact is more commonly called "having an opinion." Your demand everyone you obviously want to ban walk on eggshells and preface every opinion with IMO disclaimers is just an excuse to exercise selective enforcement of a very subjective rule. Literate adults assume everything they read on the internet is an opinion until proven otherwise. It's extremely patronizing and infantilizing of you to imagine fully grown men need simpering "IMO" disclaimers plastered everywhere just to protect the delicate feelings of snowflakes who lack presence of mind and are so absurdly weak as to be triggered by strong, naked assertions. You don't make a peep when pro-Dash cheerleaders post rosy, blue-sky speculation as fact, something that happens all day every day in the Dash forums. Why is that? Do I need to start pointing it out to you? Or will you delete any such posts because then I'd be guilty of speculating about whether or not a post is violating your slimy, slippery, authoritarian catch-all pseudo-rule? |

https://dashtalk.org/threads/development-update-oct-19-2015.6429/What about Dash Evolution?The reason we’re being quiet about the capabilities of Dash Evolution is we want to buy some time to work on it privately. By the time everyone realizes what we’re making, we’ll be so far along this path, that no group will be able to implement it fast enough to launch this system before us. DAPI will also include a vastly improved version of masternode blinding. All requests through the system can be blinded, so that they are redirected through the system to a masternode that doesn’t have any direct contact with the end user. This is the reason we will not be building masternode-blinding into the v12 client. In fact, it’s to our benefit to make sure that Dash Evolution is absolutely perfect when we launch. This post hasn't aged well. The reason Dash was being quiet about Evolution is that fulfilling all of Evan's ancient 2015 promises about masternode blinding, smart contracts, and other cyberpunk vaporware turned out to be beyond the third-rate skill set of Dash's devs. Where is Tao to hector you about the unsupported speculation in your boisterous claim "by the time everyone realizes what we’re making, we’ll be so far along this path, that no group will be able to implement it fast enough to launch this system before us?" Your unsupported speculation hasn't aged well and if Tao enforced his rules equally you would not longer be permitted to make it on Dash.org or other forums he controls. Perhaps I'm not giving you enough credit for managing to get paid so much to produce so little. After all, your excuse of "it's to our benefit to make sure Dash Evolution is absolutely perfect when we launch" is the (absolutely) perfect way to ensure Dash Evolution will NEVER be launched, so you keep getting paid to look busy while Evolution asymtotically approaches absolute perfection as time approaches infinity... |

Dash De-anonymization ContestIcebreaker and other trolleros: I have donated $1 to Monero's development team. I sent 0.25 Dash (TX ID: 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba-000) to shapeshift.io, which converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to the official Monero donation address listed at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/. I challenge you to de-anonymize this transaction. To make it just a little easier, I only used four rounds of Darksend, so it's exponentially less private than it would be with the maximum eight rounds. Please tell me what address this transaction originated from. Cheers! Analysis of the Dash de-anonymization contest transaction:
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/evaluating-the-privacy-of-privatesend.32472/#post-187480Here is the the result for 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba with 4 rounds assumed: https://pastebin.com/zv2v8NhBFor example 911d8271516aab449dd108b002fe82e3757c2bf181040ee7718f088c871c96da=0.25711422641816556 means that 911d8271516aab449dd108b002fe82e3757c2bf181040ee7718f088c871c96da appeared in 25.71% of the one million randomly generated combinations. This bar chart shows the daily percentage of mixing transactions where are inputs are from the same transaction:  This bar chart shows the daily average branching factor of mixing transactions (number of different transaction ids in the inputs):  What is important here is that immediately after November 8th 2017 the percentage of mixing transactions where all inputs are from the same transaction has increased significantly. The average branching factor has also decreased significantly. This data suggests that the PrivateSend "improvements" released in 0.12.2 on November 8th has actually caused mixing to become significantly less efficient (less privacy achieved per mixing round).  If the branching factor was always 1 then there would be exactly the same number of create denominations transactions reachable from a PrivateSend transaction as the PS transaction has inputs. When the branching factor is higher then there should at least on average be more create denominations transactions reachable from a PS transaction. Here is the daily average number of create denominations transactions reachable from a PrivateSend input transaction within 2-3 rounds of mixing. The x-axis date represents the date when the PrivateSend input transaction was included in a block.  As you can see the number dropped significantly after November 8th indicating that the average anonymity set is smaller. This should certainly make statistical analysis a lot more effective meaning that there is less privacy. "If private-send anonymity is broken the value of dash will plummet" - Bitedge, Masternode owner, Aug 13, 2017The long-delayed Dash 12.3 is being held back (among other reasons) because of the sudden revelation of a gaping hole in PrivateSend's privacy. Dash Core Group is scrambling to fix this, but they only started QA and other testing less than a week ago ( https://github.com/dash-docs/dash-docs/commit/cbfaf63cbaf3b2fc68ec0ac5d09cbf5f937bdc59). Maybe you guys should have voted for https://www.dashcentral.org/p/PrivateSend-De-Anonymization-Contest when you had the chance 8 months ago, instead of funding Shrem Attacks, RVs, and do-nothing PR firms? |
