and a Legendary community  

Monero tried that once, they sent dnaleor to a Bitcoin event in october 2015 where Dash held a presentation when the budget system just
became operational (Dash had a marketcap of 14 million back then).

For me that was the first time it became evident how fanatic some of these Monero trolls really are. And not just on this
forum but also in real life. We got a good laugh out of it though (i was there too).

Its kinda hard to tell someone what he is doing is wrong when it is crystal clear what he does is actually pretty darn good,
something the market is noticing and rewarding accordingly.

To OP : welcome to Dash, feel free to visit us in our Dash ANN thread or in our Dash.org/forum and also i think the problems that
you encountered with Bitcoin are exactly the same problems that made Amanda switch from Bitcoin to Dash (that and the digital cash
aspects in Dash and its governance system which Amanda seems to find intriguing).

These monero &^%$ wads continue to come here like warrior monks to try and expunge DASH from existence.

The religious order of monero and their psychopathic trans-humanist beliefs where they believe they will be uploaded into a shared singularity existence with monero, logic and math at the core is just laughable.

David Latapie is not going to lead these zealots to some sort of religious monero driven singularity nirvana. I mean WTF !, most of them are already too bloated to fit on an already constrained bloated block chain. How would that work anyways?

And so to dnaleor, you are on the wrong path with this one. The direction you are taking with your hate and religious calling, you look like you'll end up hurting others and yourself.  I fear that you and your friends, who are part of this monero religious sect have already crossed the line where you believe the ends justifies the means.

I guess we wait for your next move.

LOL.  That's the funniest thing I've seen in here in a long time.  

People keep it in masternodes because masternodes offer value to the network and receive a compensation.
People keep dash in masternodes because they have a long term belief in the project.
This is not artificial, just smart design and smart vision.
Few big holders is not an issue for the network if these big holders are smart people with a long term vision, which it seems they are.
What do you think is better, premined network that creates value for the users and creates value to non-users of crypto by reaching out to them, or a non-premined network that is lacking in dynamism and innovation ?
Yes selling pressure will come from big holders, but they would be stupid to start selling now IMHO. They should wait for DASH to be at least at 0.1 BTC.
You think 0.1 BTC is too high ? Well, some of the big holders know they are going after the king bitcoin, their vision is to overtake BTC long term.

Now I agree that this ride is too fast and will correct, but it might bring DASH to another level in the short term so holding might be the best strategy if you are not a trader.

Man are you still standing your bet proposal, 1BTC?

There are around 2k new DASH coins daily.  
45% got miners. So the ones that keep DASH network secure.  PoW
45% get those who instamined first day with their Masternodes. PoS
10% goes for marketing. Different people like Amanda B Jonson put proposals:  OK, I will make 1 video daily and you will pay me xx DASH and then this instamine Masternodes vote on her suggestion and BAM she gets DASH and they get marketing.


Coins are normally open source without any company or any owner or CEO or, ...   So no one promote them. DASH and similar as Onecoin, Gulden, LeoCoin, ...  are such and promotes themselves. Seems DASH is doing best lately. altho you should not forget about the rest.


Marketing works, when there is no competition.  Waste of founds to put anything in development. DASH = smart I mean stupid. Yes stupid sells!

guilty as charged

You dont have to use that oil, you can use miner oil, motor oil, vegatable oil, pretty much anything.

If you use something too thin, you will have to re oil it every few weeks / months
If you use something too thick, the fans will have a hard time spinning when cold, once the GPU warms up they should run however.

Either way, its easier to re-lube the current fans then hook up case fans because those require extra wirings.

you are really at the edge of your max safe power there..swamp cooler power consumption is only limited to the pump and the fans, well for my mining room i think the fan that blow air to the cards and and the exhaust fan is enough to move air around my mining room..

pumps that is 1/2 hp might be an overkill already to what i'm designing, and 1/2 hp is just ~ 400 watts. (240v here)

you might want to try my solution to my fans, this material can seal (with or without cover) where you pour the lubricant oil. my fans lasted more than half the summer here and still running 24/7

this is better compared to (3m double tape-the gray one, silicon sealant, other tapes) in sealing and work-ability of the material, purchased from an aircon/refrigeration shop. don't know the name of this, i just said the black sticky stuff..i just seen this being used by a technician for sealing holes where tubes had passes thru..these are very good at staying put and handling heat. in any case it is better to wash clean with alcohol the areas from oil and maybe a little bit of roughening the surface with a sand paper before sticking this material.

tip: use masking tape or re use the fan sticker and cover this black-sticky stuff after the work is done.



and i use this oil..

http://www.ariazone.com/product_oil_aa1.php

it is a bit expensive but this is just leftover so i'm saved from buying, there are other cheaper compressor oils out there and i believe they are better than standard motor oil.

not mine, just google & you will be able to see some rigs, asic miners or farms on fire, 1 of the popular ones is the farm in thailand. the pic below is posted somewhere here in bct, yeah it almost burned down his/her house if i'm not mistaken.

Not to scare you guys, but I have now switched to gold and platinum rated ATX PSUs, and Platinum rated Server PSUs for ASIC's and GPU rigs.

I also run them at load of 60% of the rated capacity.  This keeps things cool and quiet.

Here is a picture from before I knew what I know now and was trying to save some money.

Wood is also not good. 

I understand that the incentives are all generally aligned -- to make DASH go higher in value.  But that doesn't keep people from voting to give money to themselves or their friends. 

Basically,with all of this talk of Governance, Dash is turning itself into kind of a corporation.  The MN owners are like stockholders, and the big MN owners (hundreds of MNs) are like the Board of Directors.  If a proposal is ever put before a real-world corporate Board of Directors that could be self-dealing (e.g. a business deal with a company that is owned by a family member) or a conflict of interest (e.g. introduction of a product that might negatively impact another company, that the Director also has a substantial interest in) then they have to recuse themselves from the vote.  It's a simple ethical concept.  If Dash is trying to portray itself in this way then the power players of Dash need to make a very public effort to make everything above-board and ethical -- and that includes abstaining from voting where there might be any conflict of interest or self-dealing, or even the perception of such.  Accusations of cronyism can quickly kill this golden goose.  They would be wise to avoid them at all costs.

Just glancing through the approved proposals, I didn't notice any that mentioned getting competitive bids for any given project.  It's always "We've retained XYZ" at a given price, and I understand that's an easy thing to vote up or down, but really for a big project there should be a budget set, and then have various competitors bid on it, and the bid that provides the best value for the amount budgeted should win the project.  This is just a basic principle when running a large company, which Dash is looking more and more like.

You should also look into these used HP & DELL core 2 duos PCs, they are sold at a very cheap price and have 3-4 PCIe slots. As electricity is not a big concern where I m located, i am planning to expand using these. So the CPU will run as independent system and the 3-4 GPU can run over extenders and a separate PSU.

You are right, big red text is harder to read, i droped reading as it causes too much damages to my eyes.
I still don't understand why people are talking about Dash as like as it is one of these shitcoins, DASH is a well known, well established altcoin, monero also, but both of you are so much different that i wouldn't call you competitors.
Dash is doing great in term of acceptance and growth, i am personnaly a fan of DASH, and i plan to run a masternode in the next few months. the full node is aleready running.
Monero is doing great also, especially in market cap, the rise was amazing, i think on 1 year it earned around +3500% of price, which a nice achievement, i actually run a monero full node.

Both of these coins are great but i still don't know why you continiue to attack Dash, please, let them do their job, and focus on your job, monero isn't that active regarding community, which is not the case of dash, think about it please.

And speaking of which: Where's your down-syndrome sidekick Arielshit, anyway? I found the perfect avatar for him. It's in the center of this picture:

sorry, i can't hear you.

I do not see major problems with DASH instamine. As I remember it was a community choice to leave everything as it was, though it was offered to start from the start and eliminate the instamine. But community decided to leave it, so now it is too late to complain about this. However, I don't know who runs Dash masternodes and this question is more important than instamine hype. Anyway, Dash looks like a solid market oriented project that has all chances to beat Paypal and even Western Union.
