Its rather funny that whenever Icey posts anything these days in here, it automatically creates these bullish waves within the Dash community. If i were a troll like Icey that just wants to create fear, uncertainty and doubt within a community, that would bother me. #IceyDegradedToOneNightStandComedy #IceyBrokenByDash #REKT Edit : And no ariel my little mermaid, you are not getting any hashtags from me untill you post as much senseless dribble as Icey does in here

Thank Joel....great article. It encapsulates everything I've thought...and the reason why I've backed DASH this whole time. OG crypto ecosystem just doesn't get it. That is why Bitcoin adoption has stopped growing and is in fact shrinking. It is why all these other "crypto" projects wont succeed either. They are built and run by fringe members of society like cyber punks and crypto anarchists that don't value the rest of society. And thus will always fail in mass adoption because they can't relate. It would be sad if dash gave up on anonymity and would allow mass surveilance on its users. But that is what it has to do if it wants to get positive reviews from the western fake news media in the future. However we already have such a coin its called "Ripple" thus theres no need for another one. There are plenty coins with transparent blockchain, mainly bitcoin clones that get absolutely no attention at all. Dash would not privacy would be Dash without fungibility, I am sure no one in the community can seriously consider that as a viable option. Have I missed anything important or what is this discussion about? DASH isn't considering giving up on anonymity, is it? That is an old thread you are quoting, and if you read the initial post and the replies that followed carefully then you know this is not about a consideration on giving up on anonymity. It's about an opinion raised in the first post that Dash will never get any real love from the Bitcoin community even if there was no instamine, or even if Dash did not develop the anonymity / privacy part. The first post goes into the why of that opinion (providing social and cultural reasons). Personally I believe Dash perception and image has been improved this year, after it kept integrating, expanding and following through on its long road towards Dash Evolution and thereby making Dash both more easy to use and more easy to obtain. I guess we changed from the black sheep of the crypto scene to the somewhat more greyish sheep of the crypto scene Do you really think DASH has ever been the black sheep of the scene? I mean there have been massive scams out there and DASH can neither count into that category nor be a category of its own in that regard. What i do know is that Dash for a time was under constant attacks by trolls, had (and still has) difficulty getting any references (positive or negative) on Coindesk and was constantly hammered on its instamine history. This by itself could give people the impression that Dash was viewed as the black sheep of the market. That impression does not necessarily mean it should be viewed as fact, and the article that started this all was an opinion article so far i can tell. Personally i rather view Dash as a crypto project in an underdog position (especially in the early years) fighting for regnonition of its achievements, rather then viewing it as a black sheep. True although the instamine story wasn't wrong was it? Then again you could argue that the distribution of most of the coins is questionable. No, the instamine story was not wrong. Trolls just tried really hard to falsely tie it all to a premine and a scam. Also a lot of other crypto projects had questionable distribution / startup problems.

Honestly, I have never used any kind of computer wallet for DASh, only use Bitcoin wallet so far. However, with such important upgrade, I am curious, then downloaded and installed the DASH Electrum wallet. It's cool, simple and good interface. What if I don't choose the Tor option when install wallet? And, are there options inside DASH Electrum wallet that I can use to enable TOR option when wallet already installed? I visited the page you provided above: http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html, and found that in April, no. of active masternodes dropped deeply, what happened in April? We most likely switched to deterministic masternodes, and said goodbye to any masternode owner not yet upgraded.

Why is this huge news for the Dash community? CoinFlip and VegaWallet both currently support InstantSend capabilities for the Dash network, which enables Dash to be moved between VegaWallet and CoinFlip platforms in about a second for less than a cent. With the main focus on payments and new user acquisition Dash is poised to make another break-out in the lead for real use cases across the United States. As more users and merchants continue to sign-on for these company’s services, Dash can expect a direct increase in user growth.
Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor, said: “It’s extremely exciting for us to see two of our trusted partners — both of which have integrated InstantSend — work together to expand mass adoption and real world applications for blockchain-based payment protocols. This partnership will drastically improve user experience, aligning with Dash’s mission to become more accessible and user-friendly for the everyday person. In addition, this will open up new use cases for Dash throughout the United States and will showcase how Dash can be used seamlessly as an everyday method of payment.” Read more here : https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/487347624/coinflip-collaborates-with-vegawallet-for-official-cryptocurrency-wallet-partner

With PoSe penalty in effect, there are currently 151 masternodes that have received a PoSe penalty. Most of these PoSe penalties seem directly related to masternodes running an older version (v13 instead of v14). To all masternode owners : check your masternode on dashninja.pl to see if it received such a penalty. If your masternode is receiving a PoSe penalty, then fix this as soon as possible before you get PoSe banned !! Link : https://www.dashninja.pl/deterministic-masternodes.html

Looks like the conditions for activating spork 17 (QUORUM_DKG_ENABLED) are met : DKG Spork Activation Criteria
Once at least 50% of masternode owners have updated to Dash Core v0.14.0.1 and 80% of masternode owners have updated to at least the Dash Core v0.14.0.0 version, we plan to activate the DKG spork. At that time, LLMQs will begin forming and PoSe scoring will occur.
v0.14.0.1 > 50% v0.14.0.1 + v0.14.0 > 80%

Dash Core v0.14.0.1 Releasehttps://blog.dash.org/dash-core-v0-14-0-1-release-and-update-on-v0-14-rollout-af18e5cc6b62Credits : Tungi17 Source : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg51291990#msg51291990A community member (thank you, demo, for calling this to our attention) recently identified an issue with the current Dash Core v0.14 version that could have impacted governance votes after the activation of DKG (Distributed Key Generation) and PoSe (Proof of Service). Basically, an attack vector was found wherein votes could be removed by performing a DoS attack on nodes. Please note that the current voting cycle is not susceptible to this issue since the DKG spork has not yet been activated.
The team has released a new version to address this issue. We ask all network operators to please update to Dash Core v0.14.0.1 as soon as possible. While this upgrade is not mandatory for non-masternode owners, it is still recommended as nodes might otherwise observe local discrepancies in governance vote outcomes. I dont do this often to people wearing the name "demo" (a certain multi-useraccount by the name of demo1 to demo17 has a bit of a history on dash.org/forum), but in this case he deserves it : -qwiz
