i love we have dash on BTC-E now

I have a feeling that's only the beginning.

Congrats being listed on BTC-E
Great news

[Johnny00]

thanks, are you just keeping all your dash in cold storage or investing it somewhere?

I keep my Dash in cold storage as collateral for masternodes. Normal DASH clients tucked away in virtual machines that I can take out if there is a problem.
Otherwise I have a few DASH change on a hot wallet. I haven't looked into lending out any DASH, I personally like keeping my funds secure rather than on an exchange somewhere.

how do masternodes work?

This is a fantastic resource for Masternode information:

Should do you for a while... 

Very interesting although I don't have 1000 coins yet

[bigs21024]

wish i had one dash lol

[smooth]

And btw there is no "first taker of X letters ticker has exclusive rights forever" rule in crypto imo.

There is no exclusive rights forever rule for anything anywhere, but there are issues with trademark law, which does recognize that the first and continuous user of a distinctive mark (whether registered or not) has enforceable rights. Now btc-e is basically a rogue exchange that operates on the gray web and does whatever the hell it wants, so I expect nothing different.

But if another exchange -- say one that is going out of its way to try to be legally-compliant -- wants to pick up Dash, they will probably want to avoid behaving in a similarly rogue manner.

lol the comedic band that is monero.. when monero starts tanking, they flock to the DASH threat to troll

Official Statement On Rebranding To Dash:
"Months ago the community organically came up with the name “Dash” as a possible rebranding idea of Darkcoin, I took notice of this and the good deal of support it had in the forums. This lead to us researching the Dash brand for a few months. In the process of doing some investigation, we found that there was another company in the financial space that was filing a trademark. This resulted in me buying another coin “Dashcoin” and challenging their trademark application."
"we were in control of the Dashcoin project. Acquiring Dashcoin is no different than getting a previously existing domain name, the acquired project itself will not continue only the DRK project will move forward under a new name."
https://dashtalk.org/threads/official-statement-on-rebranding-to-dash.4297/


Dash Birthday / Trademark Resolution / Blocksize Limitation:
"We are also happy to announce the legal procedures have concluded and we and our service providers can safely use the brand Dash in everything that relates to virtual currencies. With this Dash becomes one of the few cryptocurrency projects with well-defined trademark rights."

Very weak FUD smooth, desperately weak.

honestly i should develop this coin as we already own the github.  maybe smooth be willing to make some development on it   can this coin be used anywhere in Dash structure

"the acquired project will not continue"

what you mean by "the acquired project will not continue"
have any news, will change the name or what?

the acquired project itself will not continue only the DRK project will move forward under a new name

ie coin will live? nothing except the name and developers will not change?
all the dashcoins in safety?

Your coins are fine, of course. If you want the code to be upgraded/maintained/fixed(if it breaks), you better find a new developer to do it, because the original developer has sold out and the acquirer has said he won't be continuing it.

It is a fair question, development of "Dashcoin" will stay frozen and the Github will be locked. The original developer decided not to continue with that project and our focus is DASH. You are all welcome to join the DASH community if you wish to, it is a really promising project.

lold. so this end?

acquiring Dashcoin is no different than getting a previously existing domain name, the acquired project itself will not continue only the DRK project will move forward under a new name

it looks like it

how do masternodes work?

This is a fantastic resource for Masternode information:

Using my service, you can put your dash to work earning until you gather your 1000.

/begin shameless plug

Masternode Shares! Get your masternode shares while they're hot!

https://masternode.me/#shares

How it works

• Have a multiple of 25 dash.
      25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, etc.
• Send it to an address you control.
      This is where your payments and withdrawal will go.
• Email me at moocowmoo@masternode.me and say "My Dash is unemployed! Please give it a job!"
      Or you can just tell me how much dash you want to deposit.
• I'll respond with a witty remark, and a deposit address.
      (wit optional, depending on the time of day)
• You send your dash to my deposit address.  Use the coin-control feature in the official dash.org wallet.
      To turn on coin-control: Settings -> Options -> Wallet -> Enable coin control features
      To use coin-control: Send -> Inputs... -> check inputs to spend -> OK
      A normal transaction is fine, we're in no rush.
• I'll send you a gpg signed receipt verifying I've received them and that these dash belong to you.
      This receipt is your proof of deposit, anybody can verify I signed it.
• You'll start receiving your share of masternode rewards within a week.
      You'll start earning from an established masternode immediately.
      Your deposit goes into cold storage until I can provision another node.
      Payouts are processed automatically after 100 confirmations.  My fee is 15%.
• 30 days later, if you want to withdraw just email me the receipt and I'll send them to that same payment address.
      An apology for taking away your dash's job would be nice too. Personally, I think you should be ashamed.
      And, the longer you keep your funds in place, the less masternode juggling I need to do, so be kind, don't rewind.

Inb4 the haters:

• Yes, you have to send me your dash. It is a trusted service.
      There is no other option to put dash to work today.
• No, I will not run away with it.
      I love this community and contributing to it.  I will not throw a tantrum, pack up my toys, and go home.
• No, I will not get hacked.
      I keep all keys on an air-gapped machine that signs transactions offline and forwards them for broadcast.
      It uses a usb A/B switch, a usb drive, a beaglebone black, and some stateful code to manage the switching.
      You get to use the same system that manages my own funds, lucky you!

Proposal: Dash Electrum Masternode / Trezor Support

https://dashtalk.org/threads/proposal-dash-electrum-masternode-trezor-support.8750/

Looks good. Hey, thanks for posting this in the Dash Nation thread also...

[defunctec]

Could someone help?

I'm trying to convince the team I'm working with to implement masternodes, solely for the full node network security benefits.

Domob seems quite reluctant to add the code, so I ask for help in the home of masternodes 

Can someone explain how the masternode system is provably fair?
As much info as possible would be great, please pm me

Just beautiful!

[Gi01]

what do you guys use for cold wallet for your dash?

Download Electrum-Dash from www.dash.org. I use that for my cold wallet. It's up to you, though.

Tao may you explain how it works?

I have a partition on my PC now, but I really don't like it

Proposal: Dash Electrum Masternode / Trezor Support

https://dashtalk.org/threads/proposal-dash-electrum-masternode-trezor-support.8750/

This is a natural step and I'm so glad this got finally proposed, I have been struggling recently with the security every time I had to restart a masternode, always fearing a keylogger + malware could steal my coins.

Now, if you don't mind me asking, for those of you using trezor with DASH already, is it possible to use the same trezor to store both BTC and DASH or do I need one trezor to store each coin? a.k.a.  do I need to buy another trezor?

[smooth]

There is no exclusive rights forever rule for anything anywhere, but there are issues with trademark law, which does recognize that the first and continuous user of a distinctive mark (whether registered or not) has enforceable rights. Now btc-e is basically a rogue exchange that operates on the gray web and does whatever the hell it wants, so I expect nothing different.

LOL no. You wasted your money buying a github repo.

A decentralized community is not something you can buy. There were and are many people beside that slb idiot (or maybe not such an idiot, since he did get money for nothing out of you guys) who were and are active and non-infringing users of the trademark as members of a decentralized collaborative effort. They all have trademark rights, and all but one of them did not agree to any sort of transfer.

But we covered this way back when, so no need to repeat the whole discussion.
