Electrum is my favorite wallet, not only for DASH, but also for other coins, including bitcoin. Wallets built by the team are very convenient, and fastly sync with networks as well as they don't require too much available capacity of disks to fully operate on computers. Furthermore, DASH Electrum wallets also have very user-friendly interface; users can easily to manage / control their assets by adding in-wallet addresses and they can also easily to do transactions in and out with split or merge amount of money of different addresses in their wallets. By the way, I would prefer to remind all people whom want to use DASH Electrum that they should bookmark links of the github above, in order to avoid phising links, and avoid losses in case they download and install fake dangerous wallets Good to hear you have some good experience with Electrum (including the Dash Electrum wallet). Good point about bookmarking important sites, i have seen some of those falsefied links passing by as reply posts on the Dash ANN thread as well. To newcomers : Always be wary of scammers, specially in the crypto world. And make sure (like motienvolam mentioned) to bookmark important sites. Also make sure the person you are possibly communicating with is the correct person, scammers are known for faking accounts or taking over accounts. Not only with important official Dash member accounts but also Whatsapp accounts / contacts / history. Always doublecheck.

how does dash privacy compare to that of the Elixxir platform?
The Elixxir platform will allow users to communicate without revealing metadata related to their activities—that is, Elixxir will obscure who sends messages, when messages are sent, where they are sent from and who receives them. Transaction data is not stored on the blockchain, and transactions are not linked to users or to other transactions. Therefore, only senders and receivers can review and prove payment history. Communications are end-to-end encrypted, and can only be read by the intended recipients. As a result, the identity of communicating parties and their devices remains private. Dash PrivateSend is a trustless method of running a sequence of transactions (known as “mixing”) such that an external observer is unable to determine the source of funding when a PrivateSend transaction is created. This gives your Dash the same anonymous properties as cash withdrawn from an ATM, for example. The mixing and denomination process is seamless, automatic, and requires no intervention on the part of the user. The current implementation of PrivateSend in the Dash Core wallet allows any amount of Dash to be mixed for later use in PrivateSend transactions. Dash PrivateSend is advantageous in that all data is still stored on the blockchain for users to verify, but significantly obfuscated to hide its spending story.

What do you find from the chart? If you find something from the chart, which ones do you like at most? I have some hints for you: price trend (long term), price pattern, fractal movements of price, which things happened within last 2 months. At first glance, you can zoom in to easily see that DASH nearly hit 0.03 BTC per DASH with its latest spike, after that the coin fell gradually to almost where it started before hitting that spike. So, what do you want to do now with DASH? I felt very happy that I have another opportunity within just one month to do something with DASH. A lot of interesting signals on that chart, personally i like the Poloniex 1 month time interval chart, set with RSI and MACD on Tradingview. That is pretty much the longest time interval available on Tradingview and its interesting to look at every start of each new month as you see the bottoming out process and possibly the start of a new longterm trend forming. I read somewhere that the longer the time interval in charts, the more accurate these technical anayses become. Just be aware these TA's (technical analyses) are far more speculative of nature, when applied to cryptocurrency. (traditionally they are used by traders in regulated and somewhat more matured stock markets)

Suspect Apprehend in Historic Heist of Over 74,900 DashAn Israeli man has accused his roommate of stealing 74,990.74 Dash (around $9 million USD currently) or 0.85% of the current circulating supply from his wallet last month. Read more here : https://dashnews.org/suspect-apprehend-in-historic-heist-of-over-74900-dash/Credits : NibiruHybrid Source : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg50722274#msg50722274This just proves wallet security is more then just using the right wallet, is more then just being carefull with links on internet or in emails, is more then just taking the right security measurements. It is also about who to trust to have access to your crypto.
In this case giving a roommate a thorough education in how to use crypto, while providing that same roommate unrestricted access to your room / house is just a disaster waiting to happen. -qwiz

Suspect Apprehend in Historic Heist of Over 74,900 DashWell, lets just say the human factor (trusting a roommate) directly undermined the safety and security of his wallet. A bit of a high price to pay for learning this very important lesson....

Highlight of the day How does one keep track on the Dash price ? I use the following sites pretty much next to each other : https://cryptowat.ch/markets/hitbtc/dash/btc/4hhttps://cryptowat.ch/markets/bitstamp/btc/usd/4hWith the following indictor boxes ticked : Volume, MACD, RSI Sometimes its handy to set the interval to 1 day or longer, so you can detect a longterm trend developing. This is purely a tool that can be used to keep track on the Dash price, personally i'm not a day-trader and i imagine better tools exist for day-traders (tools like tradingview.com or other sites). Crypto riddle of the dayI can be cracked, i can be made. I can be told, i can be played. What am i ? Note : first one to crack one of my crypto riddles gets a cybercookie (they are reallyy gooddd)

DASH has shown some signals that it might go on the same journey as Ethereum went months ago, when ETH rallied from 0.027 BTC per ETH to nearly 0.035 BTC per ETH. DASH, in fact, has been exchanged at very low value, lower than its intrinsic value in my assessment. I thought that next several weeks or till the end of this year, DASH might recover to around 0.04 BTC per DASH, with some serious pumps along the road.
Time will tell. I do agree with you in thinking that Dash is undervalued right now.

I think that Dash may well become a global payment system in the near future. The team of this project is very active in this idea and is working on its implementation.
Yep, i fully agree.
