And whole ANN now knows who they are and what are they trying here. So many that at first believed them are now buying, regretting listening to them.

Hi guys,

Today I woke up to find that DASH has 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?

Security alert!

There was someone advertising https://github.com/DashNode/NodeMiner/ as an easy way to setup nomp pool node on your Windows machine using Java and earn Dash.
We checked the binaries and the only job it was doing is downloading some suspicious executable which mimics as an audio driver and placing it in Startup folder (see full path on screenshot below).

We think it's a malicious software which can try to steal you funds, so we reported the user to github.
We received confirmation that user is under investigation by github staffs now:

His account was disabled/deleted from github few hours ago.
We also dropped all related threads on dash.org/forum and /r/dashpay. User who posted this link on dash.org was banned.

If you already downloaded this, please run complete antivirus scan and consider this computer compromised from now.
We don't know if it has keyloger inside or what else this exe can do (copy itself, block files etc) but expect the worst case, so do not enter wallet password on this machine until you are pretty sure it's clean! Restore wallet.dat on another clean machine if you need to move funds urgently.

The price is $46,21 already, what are you thinking about that?  

I have stated over the past days that everyone will reap what they sow.

I am merely asking speculators whether they have any desire to invest in projects which are obviously more honest and decentralized? Will anyone even care or be able to discern the difference.

I can't possibly tell everyone what to do here. You know damn well that if I stop posting here for 24 hours, then everything I wrote will be buried and everyone will go right back to their former habits and patterns.

My posting here right now is to serve two purposes:

1. To make sure I understand correctly our ecosystem and markets. I want to make sure there is a market for producing an honest project. I want to make sure all the effort I need to put forth will be worth trying. If I have to create a manipulated money supply and exchange markets in order to succeed, then I don't want to do it. I was actually really depressed last year when I was thinking maybe it is necessary to manipulate else some others will come in and take control (i.e. buy it up cheap after it has wallowed at a low price for a long time). But I now think the key is maintaining adoption growth, to keep the demand up.

2. To establish to the community that I want to be involved in an honest project focused on real adoption, real technical accomplishments, and no shenanigans. And I don't want to work for free. So Monero lost my desire to contribute to their project because they aren't serious about adoption, they don't reward someone like me enough (I don't have enough capital to buy XMR as a motivation to develop on it), and I don't like the attitude of some in the Monero community. Other than that Monero seems like a mostly honest project, good decentralization (except PoW always centralizes over time) with some real technical advance (but I think their advances are not well prioritized and I think I can do better). From Monero's stance, I am a Prima donna. From my stance, Monero's BDFL is not a good enough leader to lead me.

@qwizzie if you are willing to call a truce (admitting that Dash doesn't meet my goals for a project I want to be affiliated with), then I am ready to leave the forum to go become a programmer again. Deal?

(In short, I am trying to find my tribe within our ecosystem)

Stop with the arbitrary ethics. No one can define scam unambiguously. This is not church. Are you a Libertarian who believes people can be responsible for their own decisions or do you
advocate a NannyState here in altcoin land? It will cut down on a lot of needless and useless verbal diarrhoea if we stick to discussions about technology, marketing, speculation and stop
trying to win by attacking each other with mud slinging.

Everyone should be free to state their opinion, but incessantly battering our opinion on others is oppressive and leads to a lot of useless arguing.
Also when someone doesn't walk their own talk, they should probably not be surprised if they suffer a credibility crisis.

Getting "ripped off" is ambiguous as it is all part of the game. Was I ripped off when I chose to sell localbitcoins via paypal and lost $600? I think so. But I was stupid enough to not think that someone could be using a stolen Paypal account. It was a good lesson for me to learn. I charged it to experience.
We don't need a NannyState. We are all adults and can decide for ourselves what risks we want to take.
I have no problem with you pointing out that Dash had an instamine and giving your reasons why you think that will make the technology (masternode co-option), marketing, adoption, and business model less successful.
But it doesn't help if you/we think that by stopping what we perceive to be n00bs from buying Dash, by constantly yelling "scam", because we are not omniscient. And that is not production. That is just a logjam of destroying degrees-of-freedom. And we are not omniscient as evidenced by our wrong perception of the income potential in altcoins and of Bitshares' potential. Thus it is harmful to ourselves and others when we act as if we are.
You and I both should be introducing more inspiring ideas and projects than attacking other projects. It is very annoying.

And in fact, I might become quite a thorn to those who continue to berate others about Right and Wrong, as if God appointed you to do that.
In short, those enforcers on this forum make me want to puke. Any one doing censorship (other than self-moderated threads for their own official coin thread), bullying by politik, or any other holier than thou crap will be on my personal shit (do not like) list (which basically means nothing so no big deal).
In other words, I am urging us all to stop the nonsense political control game. Let it run wild and free. Don't be afraid to not be in control. Don't be afraid. Just let nature be.

Hi!

I'm a new DASH user
I saw the presentation by amanda at anarchapulco and it really was looking nice!
Instant transactions, private transactions, a return on your savings. Also the vault seems a cool system to protect my money.

I have some questions:

1) Will it be safe to use my account on a lot of devices as long as my money is in the vault ?

2) I bought 380 DASH. It's a lot of money for me, but I don't want to miss this opportunity !!
I bought at 34 USD, so I already have a nice profit
It's still on poloniex, but can someone tell me how to get the savings account?


I hope I'm not too late to the party and dash will continue to go up  
Thanks amanda for opening my eyes to this wonderful opportunity !!

Wherever this is going, the entire 2014-2017 trading lane just became the new support.

@Spoetnik, here is the reason for the Dash pump:

Lol, you have hacked one of my old accounts which I had randomly scrambled the password. I used numbers, symbols, and letters in the scrambled password, so this means there is some breach of BCT security. @mprep has been notified.

This goes to show what sleazy scammers the Dash mafia is.

A Natural Market for the War on Cash

Your financial privacy is under assault by the War on Cash.

Every day, we get closer to a world where the government can peer on every single one of your purchases.

Fortunately, Roger told me about a new cryptocurrency that can protect your privacy more effectively than bitcoin.

It’s called Dash. We recommend you look into it.

Already at all time highs when we last reported on the rally just two days ago, Dash has jumped about 30% since. One possible reason for the new jump in price,
from $28 to $37, is a recent show of confidence in Dash by cryptocurrency advocate and investor Roger Ver, aka “Bitcoin Jesus”.
He reportedly bought Dash in protest of the censorship of major Bitcoin community forums.
