Markets Rebound Following Bitcoin "Free Money" Hard Fork Surge

The cryptocurrency markets have recovered following a Bitcoin boom in anticipation of the Bitcoin Gold hard fork.

Capitalizing on similar energy to that which occurred prior to the Bitcoin Cash split, Bitcoin Gold is a chain split that was set to fork at block 491407 of the Bitcoin blockchain. The official Twitter account announced the split on Monday:

Now it gets interesting as those traders that pulled their money from altcoins to profit from the Bitcoin Gold fork are now scrambling
to get back into the altcoins. Will they succeed or will they have to buy in at a higher price ?
Time will tell....

Totally unrelated to the above but posting it anyways :

Wirex-SBI Joint Venture to Bring Dash Debit Cards to Japan

A joint venture between Wirex and SBI Holdings will bring Dash-backed debit cards to Japanese markets.

Wirex, a UK-based cryptocurrency debit card and exchange service, announced a joint venture with SBI Holdings. This partnership will lead to yen-denominated debit cards and cryptocurrency gateways, leading to growth into Japanese markets. This will eventually lead to a greater expansion throughout Asia and crypto-backed cards available denominated in more fiat currencies.

Wirex-Dash partnership to grow Dash’s Japan presence and market standing

Earlier this month, Wirex, which was a speaker at the first Dash conference in London, announced a strategic partnership with Dash. This will include integrating Dash as the first non-Bitcoin currency supported directly within Wirex’s wallet, making it available for use with a new line of contactless cards to be rolled out this year. In the official announcement, Wirex mentioned the SBI partnership, and strongly hinted at its potential to grow Dash markets in Japan and its effect on Dash’s value:

The key lies in the real application of landing, block chain must be out of the impact of BTC, obviously DASH is worth looking forward to.

At present, Japan's market policy is positive and optimistic, I am very happy to see it in Japan to deepen cooperation

Japan is the most liberal country in the world at the moment, and the cryptocurrency will gain huge growth in Japan, especially in the DASH, which is more anonymised and more popular.

Okay so Dash is:
super fast - transactions in seconds
private - untracable options if you want
low fees
can adopt btc updates cause similar tech

Why isn't this the nr1 coin? Does it have any problems?

Dash has many problems, like the Instamine and having a reputation as a HYIP scam with bad technology and cheesy marketing.

Right now, the Dash community is infighting over the slow (nonexistent?) pace of Evolution vaporware development, wasted money on ATM/debit scams, lack of Dash Core Club communication, completely broken Budget Proposal fees/review/approval process, etc.  Apparently throwing money at random internet people and hoping for the best isn't a great governance model, but without multisig that's all Dash can do!

Dash isn't "super fast" because InstantSend is currently disabled due to being a proven security flaw allowing possible double spending.

Dash isn't "private" or "untraceable" because PrivateSend is a nearly unusable mess right now.  Slow and unreliable, plus the bounty to break PrivateSend was never funded.

Dash only has low fees because nobody is using it, reflecting its low (modifed) Metcalfe value.

Overall, it's not clear what problems Dash is proposing to solve, much less how Dash is going to solve them without modern features like RBF, Bech32, segwit, Lightning, MAST, Schnorr tree signature aggregation, etc.

Dash hasn't even fixed transaction malleability or implemented Compact Blocks.  Bitcoin Core did these things ages ago.

There is also the giant issue of critical bugs in the ancient version of Bitcon that Dash is based on.

When it's time, we're going to troll this cargo cult coin at the protocol level and show the world why you don't waste resources on marketing before the crypto is secure....

Dash's biggest problem is that it can't even defend itself from the scam accusations because the evidence just too overwhelming.  That why Tone Vays dumped it.

Sadly, the Dash community won't even discuss these issues on open forums.  They just attack the poster, post GIANT STOCK IMAGES, and recruit for their closed echo-chamber Slack.

A Beginner’s Guide to Cryptocurrency Terms: What They Really Mean

If you’re involved with any subculture for any length of time, you quickly begin to notice that it has its own vocabulary. Whether it’s a religious, political, or local community group, longtime members tend to use certain unfamiliar terms or use familiar terms in an unfamiliar way. The reason for this is mostly convenience; it’s a shorthand way of referring to concepts and ideas well-known to the group. But it can be disconcerting to new members nonetheless.

It appears United Airlines uses DirecTV as their television provider. With DirecTV being a major television provider, this could mean that Dash is not only running
in-flight commercials but could also be open to running commercials viewed in households nationwide. This is a huge step for mainstreaming cryptocurrency and
bringing awareness to the industry.

Dash Sponsors Texas Bitcoin Conference, Dash Force to Speak


Dash is a sponsor of the upcoming Texas Bitcoin Conference, with Dash Force securing a speaking slot.

Held October 28-29 in Austin, Texas, the Texas Bitcoin Conference will draw dozens of speakers and a host of attendees from around the cryptocurrency world. The event is co-organized by the Crypto Show, a cryptocurrency-related radio show and longtime Dash network partner. Additionally, Dash itself is a silver-level sponsor (with a proposal submitted for treasury funding that is in passing at present), and will have a table present, as well as two Dash ATMs.

According to Danny Sessoms, co-host of the Crypto Show and an organizer of the conference, he is excited about the Dash sponsorship, particularly on the presence of the Dash ATMs:

“I don’t think anyone else is going to have two Dash ATMs on site. In fact I believe we’re the only ones that will have ATMs. Through our silver sponsorship I was able to get table number 17 which is right next to the entrance of the A conference room so we have great positioning.”

Here is your answer.

You see Dash has no problems. It is working perfectly fine (Fact!) but it is seen as a threat by a few other lesser important crypto-currencies but also by bitcoin core developers. You can be sure if dash had a technical problem it had been ripped technical apart already by them but all they could do the last 3 years is putting bad words on dash. Pathetic behaviour. One would expect statements based on facts and proves by crypto genius developers but ...

To become the nr1 in terms of a digital cryptocurrency used for payments it will take efforts to get it known and used by all the "normal" ppl in the world and a constant development to make it simple and usable and dash is exactly doing that so it has a good chance to get there.
But that will take time and is not a process happening from today to tomorrow and that is good. The value has to grow fundamentally and not in hyped bubbles. And in that way ppl like Icy and indirectly even bitcoin core devs help dash a lot to stay in a healthy solid value grow.

I don't agree on most of your issues, however the security point is valid.

IMO the spend on advertising is the problem, and that derives from the excess amount up for grabs every month in the proposals budget. It leads to inefficient and spurious projects, where there are large and easy profits.

More resources need to be diverted to the codebase and security issues. If governed correctly, a large community would be a positive.

Hi all.
Where can I find the calculations for running a Dash Masternode?

You are wrong.  Dash isn't "working perfectly fine" because InstantSend has been disabled for the last TWO MONTHS.

No DIPs have been published despite over a year of lavishly funded R&D.

Dash is a parasite.  Bitcoin publishes BIPs IN PUBLIC while Dash takes Core core and then bite the hand that feeds it.

Dash DIPs are supposedly being developed in secret, rather than being shared with the crypto community that created 99% of Dash's code.

Dash just leeches ideas and code off Bitcoin/Litecoin/Peercoin but doesn't contribute back to those projects.

Dash is an ugly, parasitic leech that must be removed and burned in a fire.

This is how an honorable project with integrity does development:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips

This is how a shitty project of looters and moochers does development:
https://github.com/dashpay/dips

Decred just revealed its Politeia infrastructure for  on-chain governance.  It's so advanced it really highlights how obsolete Dash is (no multisig, all code changes depend on centralized Dash Core entity, funding scams, funding stupid stuff like rain panchos and air shows, zero accountability, no proposal vetting process, etc.).

Rather than settling for governance infrastructure that is just good enough to get the job done, we opted to create what we consider to be the ideal infrastructure for self-governance of a cryptocurrency.

We call our system for storing governance data Politeia, which is based on the ancient Greek term, meaning “a system of government”. Politeia is a system for storing off-chain data that is both versioned and timestamped, essentially “git, a popular revision control system, plus timestamping”. Instead of attempting to store all the data related to Decred’s governance on-chain, we have opted to create an off-chain store of data that is anchored into Decred’s blockchain, minimizing its on-chain footprint. While we will use it first as the basis for our proposal system, it has been developed as a generic tool that allows its users to create and maintain arbitrary data in a version-controlled and timestamped environment.

^This is what a Dash killer with actual DGBB looks like.  ^This is better than any DIP the Dash Core Club has or ever will produce.

Offchain anchoring is easy.. where is thr data stored and how is it allowing for 100% uptime is the q
