You can see all the altcoins here : https://coinmarketcap.com/The altcoins that you see there have direct links to their own specific website, so you can study them more detailed. I suggest you just study the top 15 ranking altcoins, to get a clear picture of what sets these altcoins apart from each other. |

That is definitely interesting. And even difficult to believe. Can those statistics somehow be faked? Those are just geographic locations, it does not necessarily mean the masternode owners actually live in those mentioned countries. You can live in France and set up a server location in The Netherlands. Also there are TOR nodes that can not be located and are therefore not included in this summary. I think the internet reliability and the relax cryptocurrency climate in The Netherlands is partly causing this increase ... either that or the number of masternode owners actually living in The Netherlands have increased considerably. Difficult to determine really, i suspect its a combination of the two. With the low saving rates these days throughout Europe and the US, i do think people are looking more and more for different ways of investing their funds, that could be done by investing in the more traditional stock markets, or by buying a vacation house near the beach and use it for renting purposes (i read that is currently trending in The Netherlands), but it can also be done by investing in these new and upcoming crypto markets. Investing in Dash masternodes is a relatively safe and easy way of making profit on your investment, specially if you have a longterm strategy in mind. |

1 Bitcoin
2 ETH
3 Dash
Dash will leapfrog from rank 8 to rank 5 pretty soon and then hopefully leapfrog again to position 3 end of this year.
Much will depend on how Bitcoin Cash behaves the rest of this year, it could as easily solidify its current third position.

Yesterday Dash briefly obtained 5th rank, before falling back some ranks :  I think it is just a matter of time now before we see some really explosive growth, Dash already almost doubled in price since OP created this thread (10th of july 2017). Dash has this almost nagging talent of doing the unexspected, rising in price and marketcap fast when not many exspect it. |

Dash
It solves Bitcoin's following problems :
- no privacy in its transactions on the blockchain (Dash has optional privacy for its transactions on the blockchain that users can use -> PrivateSend)
- slow confirmation time for its transactions (Dash has a much faster confirmation time then Bitcoin and also provide optional instant confirmations --> InstantSend)
- governance issues, just look at the whole block upscale debate that not only took forever to solve but also severly divided its community (Dash has decentralized governance through its masternodes system, which means decisions can be done fast and measured reliable)
- funds issues, Bitcoin relies too much on funds from third parties which makes it vulnerable to outside influences (Dash has decentralized funding by allocating 10% of its mined blocks to a budget system where masternodes vote over)
- user unfriendly (Dash is focussing on making the whole process of interacting with Dash much more user-friendly so that even your mom can use Dash.. this will be done through the Dash Evolution update thats worked on)
- offchain upscaling, which leads to larger centralization and also seems less efficient as solution, Bitcoin roadmap plans to use the Lightning Network for this (Dash is focussing on an onchain solution by making sure the masternode network and the miners can process much larger blocks (in november 2017 Dash will activate 2 MB blocks and it plans to expand the blocks all the way to 400MB in the course of time)
how is it better than monero? Monero just have privacy (which is active over all its transactions by default) Dash has optional privacy, decentralized governance, decentralized budget, way more full nodes (around 5000 i think in total) which makes its network stronger, instant transactions (within 2 seconds), and it has a detailed roadmap towards upscaling its transactions. The upscaling will be achieved thanks to Dash Evolution (a future update), through specialized hardware and through onchain upscaling using much larger blocksizes in the future. Monero is serving a niche market with a focuss on darknet markets Dash dreams of getting its product mainstream, usable by millions and millions of normal, not-tech users. I believe in that dream. |

how is dash going to compete with segwit for insta~send.... ?
There is no reason for Dash to implement segwit right now, there are certain risks with segwit (which i imagine is why Bitcoin Cash has not implemented it) and it is a very temporary method of getting some breathing space for a cryptocurrency which has to deal with full blocks. Dash does not have full blocks anyways, Dash blocks are rarely totally full. InstantSend enables Dash to have its transactions confirmed instantly and also locked to prevent double spending. It is an optional choise for users and there are some additional fees involved. It does not really relate to segwit, i think. |

i was sell 310 coins at 200$  I believe Dash price will rise again at the end of this September. Why? Some big announcments coming or you just expect because of new ASICS x11? But first it needs to find good support.  |

Hello Rank 5 |
|
|
|
DASH is raising fast now. any reasons?
Traders are slowly exiting Bitcoin and are putting their funds (and profits) back in those altcoin projects that haven proven themself to be reliable and profitable. |

|

i know of an altcoin thats rising against Bitcoin as we speak, and its rising majestically .....
|

Dash Rising (again)

In this case the truth is rather simple, Dash is doing extremely well.
Totally agree, despite all those skeletons in the closet, Dash project has been governed pretty well. If the project was started with ICO or any other form of crowdfunding (like eg Ethereum), nobody would complain now how the funds were used and what was achieved. Amen, my crypto mentat friend.  |

Its gotta hurt some of these trolls to see Dash rise like this again, knowing deep deep down inside this really is just the beginning ....

In this case the truth is rather simple, Dash is doing extremely well.
Trolling, bashing, lying and cursing at Dash are all at this point in time merely a waste of time.

Hi
Dash now at 230usd.
It's nice.
I bought around 8usd. I wonder if I should secure some.
That really is a question only you can answer for yourself. If you do not have a running masternode where the collateral of 1000 Dash needs to stay intact and you feel an urgent need to secure some of your profits then you could convert a certain % of your funds (say 20%) into profit taking. If you do that you will also have to accept that you could be missing out on a possibly higher total profit, when Dash Evolution hits mainnet in less then a year. |

What do you think of Dash?
I've heard that it's highly centralized, but I haven't looked into it in depth yet. Maybe it is time you do look into it in depth instead of repeating hearsay. It would be interesting to have someone analyse Dash on its technical merit, which is after all the focus of your thread. |

What are the top ten or top 20 community driven coins?
1. Deeponion 100% Community driven, sending onions via the tor network, airdrop is on for many weeks
2. Swarm city
3. Lisk
4. ETC Classic
5 else?
Dash, it has a large international community that is very active with discussing and voting on budget proposals and is strongly represented on most known media channels like slack, twitter, BCT, reddit etc. Dash even has an organisation callled Dashforce News that reports crypto news (with a main focus on Dash) to its community directly and gets its funding straight from the blockchain. |
