Yep, this will be a case of : if / when we build it, will they come ? Only time will tell if this will attract more users and create more transactions for the Dash network and ultimately in the longterm lead to mainstream adoption for Dash. If only i had a time machine, so i could leap forward 5 years and take a peek at Dash I would use the time machine in a different way - I would jump 10 years back and ... well, you know that I would mine on my cool PC at that time =)))) I wonder if one could indeed jump 10 years back, if one would still be interested in altcoins later on. Or even if they still be in crypto many years later

Swiss Cryptocurrency Exchange SMART VALOR Integrates Dash With Exclusive 10% Cash-Back BonusSwiss cryptocurrency exchange and security token platform SMART VALOR has integrated Dash, including a promotional 10% cash-back bonus, further quelling concerns of Dash being delisted from exchanges because of regulation-based fears. Read more here : https://dashnews.org/swiss-cryptocurrency-exchange-smartvalor-integrates-dash-with-exclusive-10-cash-back-bonus/Source of picture and article : Dash News I'm checking if this exchange will offer InstantSend support, stay tuned... Update : Not yet, but it should happen really soon. Right now they credit deposits with just one confirmation. They have IS mostly working, but they need to get more comfortable with it and solve a couple of small issues. Source : https://www.reddit.com/r/dashpay/comments/d9mwfr/swiss_cryptocurrency_exchange_smart_valor/This new exchange integration does show that Dash and it's focus on transactions, is forming an attractive target for exchanges and services that have not integrated Dash yet. It is a regnonition on Dash endless efforts on being an easy to access and easy to use, cheap, fast, decentralized payments solution provider. What do you think about Dash ? Is Dash on the right track with all these integrations ? Where do you see Dash going with all this? Please share your thoughts. wow fantastic news this is a good news for long term dumped coin.hope this listing will give some boost for its price and reputation too I dont really exspect a significant boost in price because of this integration. We (Altcoins) are still in a bearmarket and still very dependent on Bitcoin price. Market reaction towards news about new integrations tend to be a bit underwhelming in a bearmarket. I do think this will give a boost to reputation, as this is an exchange from a country famous for its safe regulation policy.

...most exchanges considering de listing privacy coins i just wan to know investing more into dash is risky or safe

The coin has a lot of technologies. But whether they are needed, whether they will find their place, whether they will be used in this main question. With the advent of smart contracts - how things have changed dramatically. It is necessary that the functions of the coin are used. Yep, this will be a case of : if / when we build it, will they come ?

DASH has taken a beating alongside other crypto in the recent price collapse.
Let us hope things get better for DASH and other crypto.
dash is my favorite coin and i already have few coins but in these days it suffer and dump in price.most exchanges considering de listing privacy coins i just wan to know investing more into dash is risky or safe Why have Coinbase and Coinbase Pro recentely added Dash do you think ? Why is Binance US adding Dash to its listing ? Why has even a Swiss exchange like Smart Valor recentely added Dash ? And according their own CEO : “Today, our home turf, Switzerland was among the largest global wealth destinations. During the last century it has made its reputation as a safe haven and global custody for traditional assets. The same is true for Liechtenstein. With SMART VALOR platform being a Swiss company, operating an exchange through Liechtenstein subsidiary, we are opening the luxury of safe jurisdiction to investors in digital assets, Dash, being one of the most successful cryptocurrencies used as a means of payment around the world, was of course on the top of our list since the launch of the exchange.” This is not a situation where every exchange in the world is suddenly going to delist Dash, just because it supports (optional) privacy.

Altcoins prices are bleeding heavily, with some of the top-20 coins showing losses of more than 34% on the day. The most popular altcoin Ether (ETH) has dropped over $50 in the last 24 hours to a price point of $156 per coin, recording a heavy loss of 24% on the day. https://cointelegraph.com/news/tuesday-shows-bloodbath-for-altcoins-up-to-34-losses-on-top-20-coinsdo you think this down market will continues and welcome back to the bears in crypto market again ? or this is only the preparations if the market will growing really hard and the bulls will show up in the near time ? This market will continue to dump because too many mining companies abandon bitcoin and cause its hashrate to drop dramatically by 40%. This is considered to be the worst news ever and that has hit the whales, causing them to sell off bitcoin recently. If the hashrate does not recover, it will continue to fall and the altcoins will fall similarly Where did you see that information about miners abandoning bitcoin mining? And if they are really doing that, what will they mine next? Do you think they will throw away their mining equipment just like that? We had similar situations in the past, but after a while things go back where they were. And it`s not that all alts are bleeding heavily, some are holding pretty good if you check cmc you will see that. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-hashrate.html#3mIt was just a temp drop in Bitcoin mining hashrate, it has fully recovered by now. Also i dont think this drop in mining hashrate affected the Bitcoin price all that much, people were just disappointed about Bakkt volume, VanEck ETF proposal getting withdrawn and i also dont rule out some price manipulation going on from those trading in Bitcoin Futures (50% of Bitcoin futures contracts expire this friday / today). Link : https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-manipulated-before-futures-settlement-dates-researchArcane published the numbers just hours before Bitcoin nosedived 15%, bottoming out at $8,000. That event happened to occur days before a major settlement date: on Friday, 50% of open interest in Bitcoin options is set to expire. Looks like the other 50% of Bitcoin futures contracts expire 1st of october 2019. Link : https://www.barchart.com/futures/futures-expirations/currenciesI would not be surprised if Bitcoin dropped to $7,500 between now and 1st of october, and then rise again (pulling the altcoins with it).

Great News from Thailand! Dash Next integrated Dash at XcelTripAlways nice to see an integration of Dash by a large retail company like this one. Looks they also have a cash back offer for their customers. I just wish they implemented a bit more Dash promotion on their site or a more specific Dash cash back promotion. Verge seems to be very well promoted on their site and i was hoping for the same kind of promotion for Dash. Link : https://www.xceltrip.com/ Credits : Dash Embassy Thailand Source : https://www.reddit.com/r/dashpay/comments/d8wwjc/great_news_from_thailand_dash_next_integrated/Do you let discounts or cash back offers influence your decission on which website you will book your hotels or planes ? And are you only focussing on those hotel and plane booking websites that support cryptocurrencies or not ? Please let me know, i'm curious.

Analysis Shows Average Dash InstantSend Transaction Settled in Under Two SecondsAn analysis of transactions shows that the average Dash payment is settled in under two seconds, far below the industry average thanks to automatic InstantSend technology. Read more here : https://dashnews.org/analysis-shows-average-dash-instantsend-transaction-settled-in-under-two-seconds/Source of picture and article : Dash News Dash community always knew InstantSend to be fast and it's good some research has been done to find out how fast exactly (under 2 seconds). InstantSend technology in my view really is one of Dash greatest achievements, as it allows Dash to perform at creditcard level speed, in a situation where a customer just want to buy something fast without much hassle, and the merchant just want to sell something fast without risk of double spending. Seeing InstantSend getting accepted more and more by exchanges is also very satisfactory, as there was a time certain people tried to downplay this important Dash feature by pointing to lack of support. That has changed considerably with exchanges supporting it more and more now. Basicly we have two different use cases : * InstantSend : providing instant transactions by default, protected against double spending, with low fees and immediately spendable. * PrivateSend : providing (optional) privacy on transactions, with some small additional costs and some additional time to take into consideration. How do you view InstantSend ? Do you think it's more important, then for example PrivateSend ? Or do you feel them equally important ? Which use case do you use more ? or would you use more ? (in case you are not using Dash right now)

CYBAVO Enterprise-Level Cryptocurrency Wallet Integrates DashCYBAVO, an enterprise-focused cryptocurrency storage and wallet management system specializing in SDK and full-node offerings, has integrated Dash into the platform. Read more here : https://dashnews.org/cybavo-enterprise-level-cryptocurrency-wallet-integrates-dash/Source picture and article : Dash News So many integrations of Dash lately, it certainly has been a busy year for Dash so far. Looks like Dash gained integration to another custodial platform. I wonder if they also support (pooled) masternodes or just full nodes ? Dash News Video Recap: New Exchange Integrations Coinbase, BitAsset, TurtleNetwork Plus SafePal & XcelTripRead more here : https://dashnews.org/dash-news-video-recap-new-exchange-integrations-coinbase-bitasset-turtlenetwork-plus-safepal-xceltrip/Source picture and article : Dash News To those that just want a quick video recap to catch up with Dash, these Dash News video recaps are nice in its simplicity and format (short but excellent videos). Also these video recaps also often contain links to media coverage that are perhaps not all covered in this thread, as i tend to be a bit more selective on Dash-specific topics.

If Ethereum was a network focussed on payments, then this news about Tether getting traction on Ethereum network would have been a good thing. Unfortunetely rising fees and a maxed-out network just shows how inefficient this network is with regards to transactions and how very late its focus has been on finding proper scaling solutions, before scaling can ever become a problem.
A network focusssed on (mass) payments needs to have a few boxes checked :
- Scalability - Low fees - Secure and fast transactions - Userfriendly
Ethereum primary use case used to be smart contracts, but ICO projects mostly failed so that use case pretty much failed with it. Now Ethereum develeps Tether payments on its blockchain as new use case, on a network very ill-suited for (mass) payments.
If i was an Ethereum investor, i would start getting worried about its direct use cases at this point.

Annnouncement
I changed the title of this thread to Dash Discussion Thread, so it reflects this Altcoin Discussion sub forum more and provide better opportunity for discussion. I also changed the first post to reflect this better. I suspect we will be witnessing some important changes with regards to regulation, adoption and privacy and it is important that this can be properly discussed in this specific thread and in this specific sub forum.
So by all means feel free to discuss anything about Dash that peaks your interest.

Buying Dash on Coinbase!The Dash community was overjoyed to hear that Coinbase not only added Dash to it's professional trading exchange Coinbase Pro, but also listed it on it's main retail site Coinbase.com. This makes Dash available to buy for millions of retail accounts in over 100 countries. It's also incredibly easy to use. In this video, Christopher (Tao) demonstrates the ease of use on Coinbase, but not without some weirdness due to the bank that he uses. Screw the banks! :-) #DigitalCash #DashNation wooo, this is really good news. I used to trade at Coinbase and now I have a good pair of coins to trade. Dash is indeed a potential coin but it needs to get rid of the FUD on Privacy coin. Hopefully in the near future, Dash's CEO will AMA on the benefits of Privacy coin so people can better understand and trust it. Yes, i think you are absolutely right. People's privacy is protected and enforced throughout the world (just think about Facebook), it should also be allowed at least optionally on the transactions that people make, so they do not form financially a target for hackers. Privacy and compliance to regulation can work together, as Dash is showing by offering both : Dash optional privacy : https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/introduction/features.html#privatesendDash legal stance & compliance : https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/legal.html

I’m Back!!! The Nostradamus of half-ass predictions. This time...I’m using my whole ass!
Be very cautious people. We will see 8K within the next few weeks. Not by sept 5th. But soon. Sentiment feels negative. This thing is breaking down soon...on its way back to 20K. Good prediction. $7,998 to be exact (at least on Bitstamp). Thats why people should always listen to their ass.

(like Alexey45 with his brandnew newbie account is doing)
I have been here since 2017. I watch as DASH loses investors and capitalization drops. The DASH rating on coinmarketcap.com falls from 4 places. I am afflicted. You have a very simple choice, if you dont like it then sell. You decided to start investing in a high risk unregulated cryptomarket, where prices can fluctuate extremely (specially in the altcoins markets). Your decision, your responsebility ! You could have sold at Dash price $1000 - $900 - $800 - $700 - $600 - $500 - $400 - etc etc Try to take some responsebility for your own actions. Dash ranking on coinmarketcap is irrelevant. Only percentage down from ATH matters. Dash is with percentage down from ATH on same level as with most other altcoins. Just stop trying to spread fud in the hope it will make Dash price swing your way, it wont work ... it never works. Crypto markets dont react to posts on some crypto forum from newbie accounts about coinmarketcap rankings.

Today DASH lost another position. DASH will soon be dropped from the TOP 20...
Only noobs and trolls are focussing heavily on coinmarketcap ranks these days. Those ranks hold much less value, specially after stablecoins and exchange tokens got introduced to it and are also much more subject to change in times of extreme volatility (during the height of bull markets and bear markets). The world is constantly changing, crypto marketcaps are changing with it. One can moop about it (like you are doing with your brandnew newbie account), or one can adapt and survive. This is the current percentage down from ATH from a large number of altcoins : Note : last column shows percentage values, not dollar valuesIf anything, it shows that Dash is pretty much in the same down percentage from ATH as all these other altcoins, and i fully exspect some of these cryptocurrencies to get a much higher down percentage over time (more % wise then Dash). Specially those cryptocurrencies with a high inflation percentage or those cryptocurrencies that either maxed-out their network or were lacking progress / adoption during this bearmarket, will get dumped hard or will receive less support from major investors.

Don't be afraid to use the orange/red "bump" word in the right top position and in the right bottom position (next to print), to keep this Dash ANN thread longer visible in the Announcements (Altcoins) section. Unfortunately my own thread "Dash : News, Information and Discussion" got moved from the Altcoin Discussion section to the Announcements (Altcoins) section. Which means we now have have two threads there (definitely not my intention). I gave both the Dash ANN thread and my own thread a superbump yesterday, so they should remain longer visible in the Announcements (Altcoins) section and have a workable bump score. If you see them slipping to page 2 and you have bump power, it's okay to use it on either of those two threads. You will be effectively performing mini bumps then. The "bump" word is tied to personal merit I think and has its own score, which seems to diminish after each bump. So if you see it available to you, then be strategic on when to use it (don't use it when the thread is already way up). You can do daily mini bumps or you can save your bump power for a much longer lasting super bump on any ANN thread. I suggest for now you guys focus purely on the Dash ANN thread, keeping it visible by mini-bumping it once awhile, and I will do the same thing with my own thread. If you need more information about this new bump feature, see : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg52474703#msg52474703
