Another year at Bitcoin Miami means another cringey and shameful display of clueless, offensive, and misogynistic Masternode-funded Dash marketing.








Just when we thought Dash couldn't possibly get any more unpopular and despised in the crypto community, it finds a way to offend women of the blockchain industry by facilitating an Official Dash Event hosted at a strip club.




Too bad DASH needs a hooker to pump their scamcoin and a strip club for their Official Networking Event.

Does Dash Core Group employ any female developers?  Why not?  Is Evolution development supposed to a No-Girls-Allowed Boys-Only Clubhouse?

Bcash is such a joke.  Ver and Jihan the Epic Fail Whales can barely keep their rageforked shitcoin pumped to 10% of Bitcoin's value.

Now the motley crew of Bcashers are fighting with each other over what color their op_return bikeshed should be painted.

That's what happens when a self-selected group of people who don't understand the dangers+implications of controversial hard forks try and fail to emulate Bitcoin's decentralized governance.

Armchair devs like Frap.doc and Bcash Jesus making contradictory demands of Bcash's one or two actual devs is a recipe for disaster.  Bcash's socioeconomic majority is being fractured into bickering tribes...

Bcash Unlimited and Bcash Frappuchino coming soon.

IOHK has launched the second Cardano testnet, which is for the IELE virtual machine. Learn more about IELE and how to build smart contracts through their blog post and videos:

Quote
We are excited to announce the IOHK launch of the second Cardano testnet, which is for the IELE virtual machine (VM) and follows the recent launch of the KEVM testnet. The technology is not only an important step on the Cardano roadmap, but also for the industry – in offering robust and reliable financial infrastructure. Developers now have the opportunity to play around with the smart contracts technology that will eventually be offered as part of Cardano, and to provide their feedback, which we look forward to receiving over the coming months.

Smart contracts are software programs that are immutably stored on the blockchain. They are executed by virtual machines and store their data in that same immutable infrastructure. Smart contracts offer a significant benefit to many businesses looking to optimize their operations. Many industries – including automotive, supply chain, real estate and healthcare – are investing in research to understand how this technology can make their businesses more competitive.

IELE is a virtual machine, with its attendant low level language, designed to execute smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain. It has been developed by Runtime Verification in partnership with IOHK who provided funding for the project.

The IELE language and its VM is completed. It is now in the process of being integrated into Cardano, which will provide a blockchain to store and retrieve data. While the integration is taking place, developers have the opportunity to use the IELE VM along with the Mallet and Remix Tools to create and execute smart contracts on the IOHK testnet site.

You can also start getting a feel for the capabilities of both IELE and its VM – and even learn to write IELE code directly!


Hugh and series news!!!  This is the way roadmaps should be executed (compare CardanoRoadmap.com with DashRoadmap.com for a sensible chuckle).

Along with Bitcoin and Monero, Cardano has the best devs in all crypto.  Cool

How do you feel about XMR/BTC - USD drops I can handle, the XMR/BTC rate is insulting at this stage...

Underestimating the strength of Bitcoin has always been a mistake.  Every altcoin fanboy makes this error and later regrets it.  Bitcoin is the rich coin that gets richer (preferential attachment).

OTOH, XMR usually tests painful new lows before popping up again (green shoots grow in red blood).  Right now it's likely stolen DNM coins are being liquidated or at least diversified.  And the block reward is still relatively generous.

But we have lots of great news coming Soon(tm).

This weeks dev notes are very bullish for our fundamentals.

Be sure to check the Dash Collapsing Monero Up thread for necro-posts periodic updates when the ratio reaches new lows, in accordance with the long-term trend that thread was created to document and discuss.

I like Dash a lot. I read a lot about the coin, master nodes and I think this is a perspective coin. But why Dah went so down? I can't get it. Now it's a good time to buy some Dash I guess

Dash is going down because Evolution is 2+ years late (as defined by DCG's own self-imposed deadlines).

Dash is making negative progress on its goal of eventually updating its own roadmap.

Masternode owners are noticing the endless negative progress towards the goals of updating the roadmap and releasing Evolution.

Ffs...  Is the Dash vs Monero thing still alive?  I think it has been proven that all negative said about Monero was all FUD and nonesense.  I even fell for it back in the day when it was under 5 bucks.  5 BUCKS!  I would have held starting back then if only I knew better instead trading in and out of it.

Not really--dash just sort of gave up on the privacy narrative. I think ICEbreaker still pushes it, but he's like that Japanese soldier stuck on an island for thirty years who thought WWII was still ongoing.

Dash is still a scam.  You are still a fraud if you see fraud and don't cry fraud.  Silly shaming tactics from a 2014 noob won't change those facts.

More to the point, Dash still occasionally spikes above XMR in market cap and Dash is still trying to fix their broken version of coinjoin.

Then there is the question of whether this massive cringe-thread is a Poe mocking Toknormal or truly a magnificent display of insufficiently medicated autism.

Breaking! If My Theory is Correct, Fair Value Completely Exposes Monero/Dash Market Manipulation!

IMO it's a Poe.  The "Breaking!" is too on-the-nose, as is thethrowaccount21's heavy-handed satire of Toknormal ("a mental").

CoinFairValue?  LOL.  Okay, which one of you guys did this?  Cheesy

Dash Funds Embassy for Outreach to German-Speaking Countries


The Dash network has funded an embassy for localized outreach to German-speaking countries.

Dubbed the Dash Embassy D-A-CH for its focus on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the new project will promote Dash adoption through providing a wealth of educational resources for newcomers to cryptocurrency. This will include PR, merchant outreach resources, speaking engagements at events, webinars, and more. In particular, the embassy will include a merchant support center with a live chat function, as well as a phone option or live shared screen setup support. If necessary, representatives will be available in person.



Hello D-A-CH ambassadors,

I see on Youtube (http://youtu.be/WGfOCqZAxMQ?t=30m12s) Macrochip is a key member of your team:



I read in Dash Force News

"The embassy will be run by long-time and trusted members of the Dash community: Essra, Simontheravager, Macrochip, Martin, and Thesup."

I see in your proposal

"Internal Adivsory Board / Sparring Partner:

@Macrochip - https://www.dash.org/forum/members/macrochip.2896/"

and am concerned David's reputation may taint your proposal's and project's success if you do not disassociate from him.

See these threads for background.
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/basilpop-the-dash-subreddit-moderator-does-not-have-the-temperament-to-moderate-that-community.37653/
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/basilpop-the-dash-subreddit-moderator-does-not-have-the-temperament-to-be-a-moderator-part-2.37699/

How do you intend or propose to limit potential damage to the D-A-CH Embassy's reputation which may occur as a result of this close association?

Most of altcoins, especially top altcoins have its own annual cycles. Therefore, I believe that DASH will take off sooner or later this year. And we have come closer to its take-off point.

True DashHoles believe Dash already took off and is the #1 coin according to some cockamamie "Fair Value" model custom designed to make Dash look good.

When Dash fell out of the CMC Top 10, True DashHoles decided they should only look at a filtered list where Dash was still in the top 10.

When Dash fell below XMR, True DashHoles decided there is some kind of whacked-out conspiracy between Fluffy Pony and the Bogdanoff twins to suppress the price of their Instamined Darkcoins.

When Dash fell below Ethereum Classic, True DashHoles decided market cap is altogether a terrible indicator of a project's merit and value.

When Dash fell below the supposed $220 floor, True DashHoles decided the price of Dash vs fiat doesn't matter.

When Dash fell to 16 months lows against Bitcoin, True DashHoles decided not even the price of Dash vs Bitcoin matters.

Do you see the trend here?  Please abandon your convoluted and willfully delusional True DashHole cargo cult mythology and join the rest of us in consensus reality.

Dash isn't going to "take off."  Dash can't even provide an ETA for an ETA for the next roadmap update without screwing that up, much less actually release Evolution (which is now more than two years behind schedule).




91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: July 26, 2018, 05:09:32 AM
based on what factors , monero was added as base pair exclusive to poloniex ? believe no other exchange has this as base pair

Factor One: XMR is the only 100% fungible, 100% PoW cryptocurrency with decentralized governance and mining (sorry Bitcoin I still love you too)

Factor Two: XMR volume helped Poloniex pay back user funds lost in a security breach

Factor Three: Monero Enterprise Alliance Cool
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [DASH] Dash Price and Trade Discussion Thread [UNMODERATED] on: July 26, 2018, 04:51:08 AM
The Dash system is currently one of the main investment sites of well-known companies specializing in venture capital investments and this reinforces the price of a coin. Also debit cards of dash are already issued, expanding their possibilities.

So the only conclusion will be further development and growth, below $ 220 will not fall.

Wrong.  You have confused your wishful thinking with actual reality. 



Please explain how you managed to fail at predicting so badly. Grin

Dash devs have been forced to scrap the hideous amalgam of cyberpunk buzz words known as Evolution and start over from scratch not once, but twice.  That's why Evolution is more than 2 years behind schedule.

Did you know Dash Clown Group Inc can't even give an ETA for the ETA for the Evolution roadmap update without screwing that up, and now the "roadmap to the roadmap" is making negative progress?



Maybe you should learn these things before posting derpy nonsense about what you wish was the price floor for your heavy bags of instamined, pumped, and dumped Darkcoins?

Dash Masternodes are an unregistered security at best and an illegal HYIP (aka Ponzi scheme) at worst.  If the SEC won't do their fucking job and protect consumers/investors, I'll do it for them.  So there is no way Dash has a future as anything more than a footnote in shitcoin history.
93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: July 26, 2018, 12:23:49 AM


Masternode owners are not happy because for the last 3 years Dash Clown Group Inc has consistently over-promised and under-delivered on everything from Masternode blinding to Evolution.  They don't even have an ETA for the ETA for a roadmap update, despite Nathan Marley claiming one would be made by the end of June.

Dash Sad


Great post. Dash is not only a shitcoin but the shittiest of shitcoins. I can't think of another coin with this many braindead degenerates posting fake news and hype in an attempt to get people to buy this instamined garbage. qwiztard, bigretardcanada, niburutard, afbittard - they're probably all the same asshole using different accounts. The desperation in here is palpable.

Dash  Cry


The latest "What's Going On At Dash" update is even worse.  First, it's mostly just a copy paste of the last one with almost no new content.

Second, the "roadmap to the roadmap" is making negative progress. Cheesy

Dash devs and management are not the best, which is why Evolution is >2 years late and why Evan's promise of privacy-preserving "Masternode blinding" has mutated into the privacy-hostile dystopic Black Mirror vision of "deterministic Masternode lists."

Dash's Privacy Roadmap Through Evolution and Beyond - Dash Force News


Dash?s developmental roadmap, through its much-anticipated Evolution release and beyond, is set to continue improving privacy for the average user.

Formerly known as Darkcoin, Dash started out with a level of privacy above what Bitcoin offered. Since then, Dash has come to offer a variety of other features, including decentralized governance and instant transactions, expanding the main focus to usability as a payment system by the average consumer. However, according to Ryan Taylor, CEO for the Dash Core team, Dash?s future development still very much emphasizes private transactions:

That post is from over a year ago, but we have seen nothing at all from Dash's supposed "privacy roadmap" despite your article setting very high expectations.

Is this story still true, or is Dash going to drop PrivateSend because Japan and other governments/exchanges/banks are cracking down on privacy coins?

According to the latest Dash Core posts, they've been paying Wachsman to help Dash run away from its Darkcoin heritage as fast as humanly possible:


https://www.dashcentral.org/p/core-pr-201807

Dash Force News, please do some investigating and reporting to clarify how privacy is (or more likely, isn't) going to play a significant role in Evolution's ambition to be Paypal 2: Blockchain Boogaloo.

This is FAKE NEWS.  There is no such thing as a Dash Privacy Roadmap.  Dash is running way from privacy as fast as possible.  The PAIDSHILL writers at DFN need to correct this FAKE NEWS and stop shilling for vaporware that will never exist.

How many times has Dash's "privacy roadmap" let us down?  Evan on numerous occasions promised new privacy features like Ring Sigs and I2P and masternode blinding.  NONE of that ever happened.

Shame on Evan for making EMPTY PROMISES and shame on Dash Spam Force for blindly swallowing Evan's load of malarky and reporting only on hype but never on the failure of that hype to materialize into anything real.


Firstly, this is not intended to be an act of trolling. I was quite heavily invested in Dark, and believed in it's cause.

However, I would like you to carefully consider your position.

The darksend option of anonymity could be smashed by the NSA quite easily.

The anonymity market share you own - on the assumption that darksend works flawlessly - is about to be overtaken by Monero
, and similar clones.

Their anonymity solution is superior to yours, developed by hackers. A purely trustless solution.

Good luck to you all, but buyer beware.

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

While zeroknowledge proofs are neat just imagine the blockchain sitting there for 10 years accumulating your data, then one of a few things happen:

1.) The key used to start the system was never destroyed and was kept the entire time so a very powerful entity could see everything that goes on
2.) An exploit is found and suddenly the entire blockchain is cleartext

Darksend has no such vulnerabilities. The encryption we use could be completely broken and all of the transactions that have happened would still be anonymous.

Darksend relies on a collateral system - 1000drks per masternode, randomly selected masternodes, and these nodes sign off on the pooled transactions.

Sounds safe...how much money do you think the NSA has? How easy to simply stockpile virtually all the darks out there, and have the majority of masternodes running...

Sorry Evan but they are laughing at this solution...they will simply allow your network to grow, allow users to feel safe and protected, yet know the vast majority of transactions.

The only real solution to anonymity is encrypted packets of information, that are visible on the network by can only be decrypted by the intended recipient using their private key.

You are a smart, well intended dev. You have a loyal team, you have done well. But your solution is flawed.

This was solved by using multiple iterations through many masternodes. Users can pick how secure and private they want their transactions to be. To actually know who spent what, you would have to control every masternode from start to end.

Plus, I'm implementing I2P into the masternodes. We're going to have our own private network just for DarkSend.

What happened to Evan's May 2014 announcement about "implementing I2P into the masternodes?" Huh  That was MORE THAN FOUR (4) YEARS AGO!

Is I2P implementation another abandoned vaporware feature that Dash Core will use the tired old 'just not a priority' excuse to hand-wave away?  Because funding crazy conspiracy theorists, MMA gladiators, Max Keiser RVs, ATM scams, and rain panchos are higher priorities?

Perhaps after Evolution is released (>2 years behind schedule), Dash will retake its "anonymity market share" from Monero.

But I doubt it.  Evan is gone.  Amanda is gone.  There is no sparkle left in the Dash community.  All that remains are overpaid middle-managers and second-rate developers dedicated to prioritizing marketing over technology.  Embarrassed

The issue Dash is having right now is that we were given a roadmap that said, Evolution wallet testnet Nov 2017, DashCore 12.3 Dec 2017, Evolution wallet livenet Feb 2018. None of those things have happened. Evolution was supposed to be released in June, but considering they haven't accomplished the shit they were supposed to accomplish in November, we're at least 3 months behind schedule. That means that we can at the earliest, expect evolution by September 2018, which is probably a pretty optimistic goal, and we could easily see this get pushed into next year.

In recent history, Dash's coin performance compared to other top 20 coins has been abysmal, almost certainly due to the missed deadlines, lack of communication, and completely out of date FAKE roadmaps.

If we end up seeing this FanDuel, KuvaCash, ALT36, and Festy stuff fall through or underachieve (as it already has because it too did not deliver in the time frame stated which would have seen a January release), it could be a pretty shitty coin to hold over the next 3-6 months. I do hope that Core has their shit together and just prefer to be rather mum about things, but confidence in a team that is constantly missing deadlines is confidence in the face of overwhelming evidence, also known as stupidity.

I wonder how many top 20 coins out there have roadmaps that are admittedly incorrect and out of date?

Compare DashRoadmap.com to a competitor like CardanoRoadmap.com.  The difference in the professionalism of development and transparency of management is like night and day.

For example, CardanoRoadmap.com tells us right at the top the next update will be in "9 days:8 hours:26 minutes:28 seconds" but Dash can't even get their story straight regarding an ETA for an ETA for their next roadmap update.

For the last 4+ years, Dash Clown Group is lost in the vaporware wilderness while the world moves on to better projects with more capable devs.

Dash Core Group's 100% effective management and control of a supposedly decentralized project is abomination in the sight of Emperor Satoshi and will be ruthlessly purged until all traces are removed from his Holy Realms.




Case in point: Bitcoin withdrawals on Polo are working fine, despite it having no Treasury-funded "DAO" (LOL) to bicker over its monthly allocation of cargo cult goodies.

OTOH Dash withdrawals have been mysteriously disabled for >24 hours, despite it having a Treasury-funded Core Group Inc, Help Desk, PR firm, etc.
