newbie account  just deleted my old posts. You should know since 2014 Strange, so you delete all your old posts and your very first post today contains a link to a malicious looking website ? If you are indeed Raptor_73, you should know better. What is it that you want Evan to change anyways ? was just a picture. nothing more.

BitFury De-Anonymizes 1/6 of the Bitcoin Blockchain, Highlights Need for Privacy BitFury has successfully de-anonymized over 1/6 of the entire Bitcoin blockchain, increasing privacy concerns for cryptocurrency users.

According to the CEO of BitFury Group Valery Vavilov, the new analysis employs a technique known as clustering to trace Bitcoin transactions tot heir users.

you almost gave me a heart attack qwizzie. ibb.co is a link shortener to http://imgbb.com/I did not know that, thanks. I tried to preview the link in a test reply, but it did not show up as an image for me. That combined with the newbie account status (deleting all your own posts reverts its back to a newbie account apparently) triggered some red flags for me. Good to hear everything is okay with his account and my apologies for my overreacting Edit : also someone in my family clicked on an unsafe link in a received email earlier today and was all in panick about it, so i guess that played a role here for me as well.

Bitcoin Dethroned? Ecosystem Implications of the Ongoing #Flippening It’s been a great year for Bitcoin, smashing all-time high records last December and propelling the whole cryptocurrency field ever closer to the trillion dollar mark. It has, however, been a terrible year for Bitcoin’s unified dominance over its field, sinking from a near-universal position of power in the high 80s to a present share of just 34%. Here’s a few key things that will happen when Bitcoin becomes just another of the many to projects in the cryptocurrency space.
The Ethereum network has already surpassed Bitcoin in many ways

Cryptocurrency Markets Drop $100 Billion on Korea Crackdown #FakeNews Cryptocurrency markets took a hit on rumors that the South Korean government had raided cryptocurrency exchanges.
Several sources such as Reuters reported that tax officials had raided some of Korea’s top exchanges, including industry heavyweight BitHumb, in a crackdown that could see complications for one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading hotspots. However, sources closer to the Korean exchange world indicated that the news had been overblown, when in fact the visit from the tax authorities was much more routine and friendly:

Not something else. Dash wants to be a digital currency. A cash system. Monero wants to be a privacy coin. That's a big difference. Dash is not aiming to be a privacy coin. It just offers such a feature as an additon that you can use or not. There is no monero dash fight. That impression comes from the number of people comparing the privacy aspect of both coins creating wrong impression that the two coins play on a same level somehow which they do not. And there are the constant monero trolls resitant we have which like to post monero in dash for eighter their personal relief or for monero advertising. Dash do not care a bit about monero. It is one sided. You should be clear about what you invest in.
Yes I am aware of that, but I am also aware that Dash has effectively a faulty privacy system, yet it's been promoted, at least in the past as a privacy coin. Literally it was named dark-coin in the past. I was pointing out that that is a little bit dishonest, Dash has very weak privacy, and promoting it as a privacy coin is dishonest and misleading potential privacy demanding users. Monero has a central point of failure, which is it's encryption scheme, which might turn out one day to be weak, being deanonymized by QC or a crypto bug. Still, despite that, Monero still has a better privacy, and a lower risk probability. So if you want privacy go to Monero. I just want to make money at this point so I bought both. I think Dash has a great potential to get into the top 5. It will probably be a fight between BCH and DASH.

It does have a somewhat time-consuming process, because it depends on finding people to mix their input amounts with but that does not mean its privacy tech is weak or faulty. This means that Dash had every right to promote itself as a privacy coin in the past and nowadays can promote itself as a platform on which to run several services (including but not limited to : privacy). I suspect your beliefs and your information about Dash privacy tech and how it functions exactly, are somewhat influenced by your Monero invested background. Hell, Monero did not even have a solid and safe privacy tech, untill after their large update somewhere early last year. If any coin should not have been promoting themself as safe and strong privacy coin, its Monero during the first two years. Link : https://www.coindesk.com/monero-link-transactions-debate/

Monero is so private you never can tell if someone is minting their own coins via an exploit or bug  Dash has very effective privacy. Coin mixing is totally adequate for the job. Dash has a treasury, governance, and instant send Digital Cash

Dash has effectively a faulty privacy system
Your research I remember. The only fault here is that this statement is faulty. I know that this BELIEVE is shared by Bitcoin core devs and moneros and keep saying this and people are picking this up because an "authority" says so. But it is plain simple. They are wrong. Just by saying such doesn't makes their wish of a "faulty" system true. They are wrong about Dash since years. They also "believed" InstantSend can not work just because they didn't want it to work or worse did not comprehend the whitepaper so they rediculed it and labeld dash snakeoil. Honestly their behaviour is very shameful and they make fools out of themself behaving like this. But people are not capable to comprehend the things by themself and so stick to "authorty" said this so it must be true. Don't fool yourself. Cryptotechnical you can say it is a rather cheap done solution and this I agree in and you have to know what you do it is not quite easy to handle correctly. But faulty it is not. It works. You can not deanonymize the mixed coins ever when done correctly. (Contrary to when it's "just" encrypted in the blockchain) Whenever I show someone Dash I explain him or her the normal use case because for 99% this is enough. It is "lightening" fast and cheap as it should be and has to be for a cash coin contrary to what bitcoin has become now thanks to that so "clever" core devs. And I explain the InstantSend feature because that is just a simple click on the checkbox. About private send I only say don't use it except you really need the feature because it will make things a lot more complicate for you. It will probably be a fight between BCH and DASH.
Now you get it. Thanks. If Bitcoin fails than we will likely see Litecoin, BCH and/or DASH as the next best for cashing used main coins or a total collaps of the cryptomarket. At least those coins have a good way grown up community and so a "fight" won't end up in "my coin is better than your coin" spam in the other coins thread ... at least I hope that. We will see. There are also other promising projects out now which could flip everything on the head.. who knows what is comming this year. 2017 was already a crazy year. Cripled Bitcoin rose to 20000 dollar. That's absolutly brain dead crazy if you think about that.
