Very impressive and it was really nice to see the comments on Justus's clarity and freedom from bias It's almost a shame the guy doesn't have the same kind of stage personality as Andreas A. because his views there are just as interesting from a slightly different angle and far less preachy (not knocking A.A for that btw, he gets his points across very well with it). Really surprising by how many commentors where shocked after realising the potential for fractional reserve in 3rd party wallets too, I guess its one of those things that's only obvious once you've seen it but it puts a different perspective on Justus's thoughts on the 21 million limit in relation to the lightning network, if there's even the slightest opening for fractional reserve to enter into a network then it's practically certain to happen at some stage.

Speculate market condition time!

So it looks like the alt coin markets are starting to reverse trends (outside of ETH and XMR). What does this mean for DASH? Are we still in a cooling off period from our last big run up?

Maybe someone who is good at TA could jump in and help a brother out?  


EDIT: It also looks like lending rates are lower than normal with record high DASH available. People don't seem to be taking out short positions at the moment.

My speculation is that bitcoin is going to dictate our price movement for a bit, and that of most alts. For those who don't know, bitcoin is at the very end of a five month triangle. That means a very large move is expected soon. Could be up or down, though most are expecting up. Some talk of even blowing away ATH.

My guess is that dash suffers in the near term. Either btc massively pumps, which lowers the price of alts as money is sucked into the pump, or btc dumps and wrecks confidence in the entire market for a time, causing a decline as well.

I do wonder whether Bitcoin can move up so significantly because its fundamentals are presently rather weak, because of the blocksize issue. Especially when compared to alternative cryptocurrencies like Dash which seem to have solved some of these problems that Bitcoin is currently experiencing. For this reason I am more doubtful then most that we will see the breakout that most people are expecting within Bitcoin at the end of this bullish triangle, though I would love to hear more of other peoples thoughts on this subject.

Hi,

Trying to access Dash api at https://explorer.dash.org/q via javascript gives me Cross Origin Block error. Do anyone of you know any Dash api that works with js?

I can see both sides. Right now there's a 14k transaction backlog and it's a little difficult to see how price could move up very much with such a clogged network.

At the same time, this summer we have a potential trifecta: SegWit, Lightning Network, and the halving. If the first two go off without a hitch in the expected timeframe (early summer), Bitcoin would have: a fix to transaction malleability and somewhat larger "native" tx capacity, a network capable of handling virtually unlimited transactions per second, and less inflation and lots of hype. Those three put together, if it happens, would be extremely powerful news for the price.

Where are you seeing that ?

I only see 5-6 thousand.  https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

My bad. I left the browser tab open from yesterday, but as soon as I refreshed I see your number.

Well, it's up to 7400 now just in the last few minutes, so it does seem to be pretty logjammed.

i like this coin... i have bought a couple of this, and think dash has a great future... the feature with darksend is amazing...

Hello everyone. I request a favor from you all. Please help me with the pro-Dash thread I've created on the Altcoin discussion board. Consider it as an unofficial community-based thread.

What am I asking for?

I'm not asking you to fight trolls. All I'm asking you to do is post there when you can in a positive way about Dash. One post a day would be plenty. Showing all of the lurkers what Dash is all about will go a long way towards showing what Dash Nation is made of, and will take the narrative away from the trolls who have dominated the discussion for two years.

Please help me keep that thread front and centre, and representing the Dash community in a positive way on the main discussion board.

I hope it's not to much to ask,.

Tao.

Broadcasting txs is free... so it could be 100 million for the lolz (without a strict mempool size).

What matters is whether these txs will ever be included - and if they are paying peanuts, or nothing, they shouldn't.

I suppose that depends on your perspective within the blocksize debate. I do not see SegWit and the lighting network as solutions to scaling at all, if anything it represents a victory for Core for not scaling Bitcoin. I do not consider off chain solutions to be a solution to scaling at all, and neither is SegWit, the practical increase within SegWit is negligible, while it also makes transactions less efficient in terms of the data that is used per transaction.

In Bitcoin there is a fundamental ideological divide between on chain scaling and off chain scaling. I favor on chain scaling which is why these innovations do not inspire confidence for me, I would much rather just see the blocksize limit be increased. But I certainly do see your points and how it might inspire confidence in others, mainly Bitcoiners I suspect. The rest of the world would be more likely to adopt cryptocurrencies that can scale directly, like Dash. Most well informed outsiders should be able to see that the change in economic policy pushed by Core is not actually economically viable over the long term.

If LN works, I think it's ingenious. I mean let's face it, there was never any chance that every node processing every transaction was *ever* going to work in the long run. Ever. LN creates a sub-network that settles periodically with the Bitcoin network, which I find ingenious. No, it doesn't directly scale Bitcoin itself, nor will anything else.

Hi,

Trying to access Dash api at https://explorer.dash.org/q via javascript gives me Cross Origin Block error. Do anyone of you know any Dash api that works with js?

Hi,

I think its not possible and not wanted to access files, that are not located on your own server, via javascript. Thats not a problem with this particular API, it's javascript in general.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

I access the api with a PHP file and open this file with javascript. Works fine.
