[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[Riseman]

Im thinking about moving my nodes from Vultr to some other provider, any recommendations for a cheap still sufficient VPS  

OVH, Scaleway. Cheaper than DO and AWS, and with better specs.

Scaleway is impressive, too bad it doesn't accept new signups

You can sign up and they'll notify you when servers become available. It may take several weeks.

Dash doing very well in the markets this weekend, it is looking solid. I hope it keeps growing slowly like this. Can't wait for testnet.

Steady demand  for DASH in the market.
Evolution would make dash more attractive.
I am long time holder from price 10$.
i want to hold after 10$,
You would be smart man if you buy low price level and hold during strong upper trend.
upper trend in the market is serious and strong
It's possible big jump in the level  really.
need to change from ETH to DASH.
I'm holding dash more than eth.

Bitcoin is safer than small country currency. Look at Venezuela.
Holding dash, bitcoin is  good choice for that country.

Hello $7 :



and yes, Dash is doing great this weekend. It seems to slowly move towards the 0.016 BTC range.

Dash's lows and hights in just 5 months :

22 Jan 2016 : 0.017
25 Mar 2016 : 0.018

and currently at : 0.015

Pretty darn impressive....

I was thinking of writing a story about dash at my blog.
or if someone has a story I can repost it, especially if they have a wordpress.com site.

What's the angle of your story? What aspect of Dash would you like to focus on, or would it be just a general article?

This is a proud day for me, as my suggestion to streamline the Dash wallet with the descriptive terms PrivateSend and InstantSend has been accepted and implemented:



This will make it much easier for newbs to understand the purpose of each function.

 Not everything has to go through a vote though. Developers do listen. If it makes sense, doesn't clash with the roadmap, and it's implementable...
 
 Congrats for the endeavour Tao.

Thanks! Coming from you, that means a lot. Peace.

Is there any mobile MN monitor app? I was specifically looking for an app that alerts me if something with the MNs goes wrong, I have just noticed that my MN has been down for 15days.

Highly recommend https://www.dashwhale.org/

They have a mobile app you can download. Have to pay for the widgets if you want it on your home screen but its cheap for the peace of mind

DashWhale makes DGBB a breeze, and monitoring masternodes. That guy deserves some funding for his work IMO.

I noticed on Dash's website there isn't an android wallet but on Google play there is a Dash wallet, is this safe to use, and would it have all the functions, of a normal wallet?

[MasterMined710]

this may be something. could someone from the core team please reach out and see what this is all about, thanks.......

FYI on potential competition to Monero:

wow... this is new development      

im preparing popcorn now... LOL  

... and the post has now being removed. Frankly fixing Darksend could be worth a lot of money so no hard feelings towards TPTB_need_war for trying. If TPTB_need_war actually has a solution, I am sure the Dash community will pay him for it and it will be money well earned. Does the Monero community have to be concerned about all of this. I doubt it.

All mixing that is active requires, obviously, activity. If you don't get activity up you won't ever significantly increase transaction speed of CoinJoin / DarkSend transactions. Fortunately, Monero mixes passively and therefore doesn't require activity of other participants on the network.

Actually there is only an activity threshold above which offchain mixing can be just as fast as onchain. Actually to do ring mixing correctly so that rings never can overlap in ways that allow combinatorial unmasking, Monero should require activity, but I was apparently never able to get Shen-Noether to understand this during our Reddit discussions last year (because he is a condescending prick in the same mold as Gregory Maxwell who thinks he is too smart, actually they appear to hobknob together sometimes), so afaik Monero remains "broken" (suboptimal). The advantage of adopting my idea for preventing combinatorial unmasking, is it would also make the block chain entirely prunable, not just compressable (which afaik is what Monero and BBR erroneously label "pruning").

The key breakthrough is to remove the simultaneity requirement (lol, I am the one who fixes Gregory Maxwell's broken CoinJoin in 10 minutes of my spare time while my head is deep in designing a programming language), and on further thought I've decided I want to embarrass noobtrader (to show my appreciation for his disrepect) so I went ahead and I think figured out how to eliminate the simultaneity requirement in CoinJoin! I figured out how to eliminate the short-term trust aspect! Another advantage is it can radically improve the robustness of decentralized exchange as well.

It will reduce the block chain size considerably. I also see how to put a viewkey in it. And the mix anonymity sets can be huge, say 50 or 100 transactions per mix (or more!). The disadvantage is the masternode can see the correlation of inputs to outputs. But just like any mixing method, if mix over and over, the probability of your anonymity set being known to any one party diminishes in probability.

You'd still need stealth addresses to achieve the delinking from the recipient's public key.

Another potential advantage may be that this technique I've just invented gives you IP address obfuscation inherently, which is one of the big weakness of Monero. Monero adds I2P integration to attempt to overcome this weakness.

My apologies to ArticMine. I am rushing so much, that I mistakenly (cross-eyed) attributed the above quoted disrespect to him.

Yes the one from Hash Engineering is sure.
I though there were two, but don't find the second. (Maybe it's the oficial, that is not out yet...)

If I remember yes it have all (execpt PrivateSend ex Darksend).

Edit: nice buy shot on this sunday evening, time for MN shoping?

The Hash Engineering App is my favourite too, and most actively developed at the moment:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.darkcoin.wallet

InstantSend is working for sending but not for receiving yet. No PrivateSend, no Masternode support yet. Everything else is fine.

Looks like someone is getting in early before the 12.1 release....

400btc buy at Polo (25k coins!)

i think that's the biggest buy order i have ever seen for DASH.
