Dash on a monthly-interval chart on tradingview, showing perhaps the first baby steps towards Dash longterm price recovery : https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=poloniex%3ADASHBTC 01 dec 2018 will be important in this monthly-interval chart, to monitor if the MACD and RSI continue to have a positive influence on Dash price recovery or not. The Dash price bottom currently sits at 0.0201500 Current Dash price : 0.0255472 |

I wonder whats more difficult for Dash to compete against : Bitcoin Cash ABC (Favoured by: Roger Ver) or Bitcoin Cash SV (Leader: Craig Wright) ? I suspect the answer is Bitcoin Cash ABC, as that includes smart contract abilities, oracle services and scaling improvements all aimed at reducing transaction costs. https://cointelegraph.com/news/opposing-bitcoin-abc-and-bitcoin-sv-factions-debates-grow-heated-as-the-bitcoin-cash-hard-fork-draws-closerBitcoin Cash ABC (dominant in number of nodes)
The Bitcoin ABC split campaign is based on the belief that the basic structure of Bitcoin Cash is “sound”, and “does not need any radical change”. However, improving some of the network features is necessary for its further development,
according to the faction’s roadmap. Proposed upgrades include smart contract abilities, oracle services, and scaling improvements, all of which are aimed at reducing transaction costs at its core.
The future development of Bitcoin Cash is seen by the developers as the implementation of three core ideas.
* Improving 0-conf transactions for making the payment experience instant and reliable without changes to the consensus rules.
* Enabling massive on-chain scaling through the removal of the mempool admittance code and mining RPC.
* Improving fungibility.
With “Adjustable Blocksize Cap” as the faction’s name and slogan, this most popular Bitcoin Cash client also acts in the interest of node operators and intends to allow them “to adjust their block size limit.” The changes are planned to be implemented
by “removing software bottlenecks.”
Bitcoin Cash SV (dominant in hash rate)
The Bitcoin ABC views are opposed by the Bitcoin SV faction. Created on August 16 by the Blockchain development firm belonging to Craig Wright, who has previously declared himself Satoshi Nakamoto, the faction actively promotes the idea of
radical changing the current Bitcoin Cash structure. Its split is designed to entirely overwrite the network scripts of Bitcoin ABC and increase the block size of Bitcoin Cash from 32MB to a maximum of 128MB, all of which are expected to increase
network capacity and scale.
Promoting “miners choice: miners first” philosophy, Bitcoin SV intends to win miners’ votes by restoring the original Bitcoin protocol and promising long-term revenues. Also by having Bitcoin Cash SV publicly threaten to hash-attack competing crypto projects (any competing crypto project !) by mining empty blocks on their blockchains, it has damaged Bitcoin Cash SV's reputation in my opinion and makes it therefore more easy to compete against. https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/11/12/calvin-ayre-and-craig-wright-allegedly-plan-to-attack-btc-eth-all-cryptosCoingeek has an exclusive deal with Squaremining for the production of ASICS chips that are being manufactured in Korea by Samsung.
Once they shore up their power with sha256 asics machines, likely attacking and destroying sha256 networks like Namecoin and Factom, they can set their sight on the manufacture of chips on other algorithms and begin to go after
the altcoins which inevitably absorb a large portion of the fractured bitcoin cash community. Coins like Litecoin, Zcash and Dash are obvious targets, but no Proof of Work coin that gains any traction or represents any threat to Coingeek’s
and nChain’s total dominance of this space, will be safe.
With the proven track record of being able to launch successful takeovers of bitcoin derivative networks, they will march on their ultimate goal: the BTC network. Question remains though how vulnerable Proof of Work crypto projects like Litecoin, Zcash, Monero, Ethereum and Dash are to these hash wars. |

Thank you for supporting Dash this way. |

Some day in the past, I read that there are partnership between DASH and universities/ academic labs on the implementation of official courses on blockchain and DASH usages. Please help me with link to it, everyone. Today, I would like to read it but I can not find it amongst massive posts in the ANN topic of DASH project. 
The new $350,000 Dash-ASU agreement announced today includes:
The Dash Scholars Program, which provides $100,000 in scholarships for undergraduate and graduate research fellowships;
Research lab and Industry open source projects, providing an additional $100,000 in funding for ASU’s Blockchain Research Lab (BRL) and $50,000 in new funding for the Luminosity Lab, and
Blockchain course development, with $100,000 for creating an online graduate course expected to be offered at ASU this fall.
The partnership comes after Dash contributed $50,000 USD in Blockchain Research Laboratory startup funding in August 2017. In November, Dash and ASU announced the creation of the BRL at ASU, the first in academia.
With regards to the Dash Scholars Program, i'm not sure it got renewed for 2019 https://www.dashforcenews.com/new-asu-blockchain-lab-research-shows-dash-can-easily-scale-near-paypal-levels/https://www.dashforcenews.com/dash-labs-making-significant-progress-on-enhancing-robustness-of-dash-network/ |

Personally, I really hate ASICs, because they partially contribute to force the price of DASH downwards. It's not really fair to blame all reasons of DASH drops due to ASICs, but those sort of rigs and dominant mining farms play important roles in the year downward movements of DASH.  @xkcd also added that this “means the pools operators are not malicious in intent and wish to play fairly and abide by the network consensus”. @xkcd also detailed how “Xhus4Yv5kAyj2JwwL1EZmmSHfoRKR2yRCD started mining on the 19th of September”, but “after reaching just over 50% of the DASH hashrate, the hashrate quickly fell and on Nov 1st these new mining pools appeared; XakyHr1BMvijuN3yMK9Zzj6d8eEKxqzUTk and XrLG7YxovHbWv2atsyWovotiMyN2Rbio2u“. @xkcd also analyzed that “the mined coins in pool Xhus4Yv5kAyj2JwwL1EZmmSHfoRKR2yRCD are sent to XtQrVu9AJWBdk7PAGYEYekwRwCzVNQVcLM and as of yet not spent”, along with the other two addresses. Here you have a private miningpool thats spread itself over three private miningpools to avoid getting labeled malicious due to its high hashrate and its mining rewards are not getting spent so far (just transferring to one end address), this new mining entity seems to just be accumulating Dash for now. With Dash low circulating supply (further lowered by Dash masternodes combined collateral amount of -4.9 millions Dash) and Dash yearly reduction in blockreward (-7.1%) and with a large mining entity apparently on hoarding mode, this could provide some interesting price movements for Dash in the nearby future. The Internet is programmable information. The blockchain is programmable scarcity.

This is what you get when you are lacking a clear governance model, and therefore have difficulty reaching consensus : https://ethereumworldnews.com/ledger-to-suspend-bitcoin-cash-bch-support-on-the-15th-of-november/November 15th is quickly approaching and the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community has yet to come to a consensus as to what upgrade shall be implemented uniformly across the network. The lack of consensus and open differences
between the two camps supporting different upgrades is self evident and the only solution for this is a hard fork. with the Bitcoin Cash hard-fork only days away, the team at Ledger have announced that they will suspend supporting the digital asset until there is some clarity on the outcome of the event.
Those who want to use their BCH during that time period are advised to move their funds to another wallet or exchange. The second option is to do nothing and wait for the outcome of the hard-fork
with your funds ‘frozen’ in the wallet. The second option is recommended only for those who do not wish to use their BCH funds during that time period. Dash on the other hand has a well-functioning governance model in place through its masternode network, which allows Dash to make quick and transparant network decisions about which way to go, without the risk of hard forking its network or the risk of forcing third party's that rely on network in question to halt their activities.... |

Previous hashrate ATH 2017/12/24 - 2,6261P
Today 2018/10/30 a few minutes ago 2,6291P new ATH
Hot machines working in the Dash network, the health of Dash is better than never.
Good luck
Cool, that makes two new ATH today : New ATH for number of active masternodes New ATH for the mining hash rate (although i have not seen it on the all-time chart yet : https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/dash-hashrate.html) Update : new ATH mining hashrate shows up in charts too now Dash health is indeed very healthy |

We are getting closer and closer to a new ATH of active masternodes on our network : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/masternode_count.pngNow remember that each masternode has a collateral of 1000 Dash, which means Dash combined MN collateral amount = 4,9 million Dash (sitting in cold wallets / hardware wallets, not circulating) Dash circulating supply according coinmarketcap = 8,4 million Dash - 4,9 million Dash = 3,5 million Dash effectively in circulation (circulating freely in markets / exchanges). Done! 4909  Forward and onward. Next goal : 5000 |

DASH has dropped too hard in last three weeks despite of so many achivements.
I felt a bit curious why the price of DASH fell hardly over the latest months.
Any explanations, please.
https://www.coinranker.net/ The picture explains it pretty well, when Bitcoin goes down all altcoins go down. You need to look at the whole crypto market that is currently still in a heavy bear mood, not just focus on Dash. Some altcoins (Tron, Iota, Neo) are doing a lot worse then Dash, which is why Dash is slowly climbing ranks. https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ Looking at coinmarketcap, Dash is actually pretty stable this last week and has the lowest decline percentage (Tether excluding). Dash is currently one of the few cryptocurrencies that is outperforming Bitcoin, looking at the weekly overview. |

Thanks Do you think the ATH hashrate could do a Price suppresion in Dash?. Miners must pay the new hardware and sell fast the dash at market. The hash now whith new powerest hardware is concentred in less hands, and them (miners), are not holders, they only want fast cash. I think the price decline (now and in the nearby future) has more to do with the current bearmarket, then with Dash approaching ATH hashrate. Also the hashrate took an upward reversal around late august, while the Dash price decline has been going on all year. |

Watta heck happened to Dash price..last time I checked it was 500/600 usd.. now 150usd .. what did I miss?
You missed the continuation of the bearmarket and how that effect both Bitcoin and Altcoin prices. Have you checked Ethereum price lately ? or Ripple ? or any of the top 15 cryptocurrency prices ? Since Dash was 500/600 usd in march 2018, you are missing about 7 months i reckon... that is a long time not looking at any price. I wish i could take a break away from price like that. Here is an overview of some of the top 15 cryptocurrencies, with the price between 12th of march 2018 and 24th of october 2018 : BTC $9602 - $6425 ETH $724 - $204 Ripple $0,83 - $0,45 BCH $1117 - $442 LTC $187 - $52 XMR $282 - $106 Dash $531 - $157 (Prices are taken from coinmarketcap) No price is too low for a bear or too high for a bull
-author unknown Yeah I see, let's say I took a semi-rest from crypto, I was only checking price of few others including Ether and BTC. Sweet times to buy it seems! I think we will be able to see the price even lower if we are lucky, and this will be just the land for long-term investment. If I do everything right to run my node, do I still need to have 1k tokens? The netwerk checks the 1000 Dash collateral regularly, if it does not detect the collateral (because it was moved or never there in the first place) it will either throw your masternode from the payment list or never activate it as a masternode in the first place. So yes, you really do need that 1k tokens. And yes, these are pretty good times to buy if you have the money and understand the risks. |

China sold 3 Billion US Treasury bonds as retaliation in the escalating USA-China trade war : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Al59K7pYtwThat is a strong signal that China is putting out towards the USA. Some people refer to China selling US debt as the nuclear option that China would never use in this trade war .. well, they just did. Besides selling US debt, China has also almost completely stopped importing energy (gas) from the USA https://humsub.tv/trade-war-with-us-china-sells-3-billion-of-dollar-bonds-humsub-tv/Beijing has dramatically diminished the acquisition of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) while US crude oil shipments to the country have
completely stopped in recent weeks, according to China Merchants Energy Shipping Co (CMES). Something tells me 2019 will be a very tense year for stocks, global economy and crypto. |
