iVend Pay Showcases Dash-Enabled Vending Machine, Key InstantSend Use Case

A demonstration video of the iVend Pay prototype shows Dash being used for vending machine purchases, a key use case for InstantSend transactions.

The video shows a hot beverage vending machine rigged with a clandestine tabled-based payment terminal with a dual English/Russian language iVend Pay app. Several cryptocurrency payment options are shown, Dash being the one selected for the purposes of the video. As soon as a payment is broadcast, the machine begins to make the drink, while the payment app returns to the beginning screen.

I think this means that only masternodes (and miners?) running with latest protocol and latest version can be selected for payment from now on.
It is the final step in the update process towards v.12.3 (effectively the network has now safely forked / transitioned into v.12.3)

With regards to wallets, its always best to update to latest version. Its a small effort from user side and can provide
important bug fixes and more stability.

Google/Mastercard Purchase Tracking Deal Demonstrates Need for Financial Privacy

A newly-revealed data tracking deal between Google and Mastercard raises consumer privacy concerns and makes the case for private money such as Dash.

The reported deal is designed to bridge the gap in purchase data collection between online and offline commerce. At present, Google tracks users’ online shopping activity, using the data to focus its extensive advertising platform to more precisely target shoppers based on their other purchases. Without direct access to consumer credit card data, this introduces a data gap when in-store purchases are made. However, the new deal with Mastercard would share the missing data to complete the advertising picture, using information gleaned from offline card purchases to supplement online data. Mastercard reportedly denied that this data would be used to identify precise purchases.

Who's going to be the guy to make a fortune and start up an all Dash sports betting site ?

A sport betting site with Dash as a payment would be very amazing. I think this will come in the future for sure, because Dash is growing day by day and a lot of new people are coming in.

Watch the numbers, watch the statistics, observe when this money was cached out, before expressing your opinion about it.

Here is the list of the 104219 addresses/cell phones that received the getfreedash dividend in venezuela:

And here is the transaction history of some randomly picked addresses (you may try to randomly pick other addresses and confirm or deny my conclusion):

The venezuela people cashed out their getfreedash divident, but most of them certainly did not do it immediatly.

Spit the cancer of censorship and of spamming out of the dash forums.
Let's LIBERATE the users/readers of the dash forums, NOW!

Some interesting and encouraging news here about Venezuela and its love afair with cryptocurrency, especially Dash.

In August 2016, Dash was added as a tradable cryptocurrency to the Caracas-based Cryptobuyer exchange, which was reporting "soaring demand" for cryptocurrencies at the time. "Our partnership with Dash is valuable," explained Cryptobuyer CEO Jorge Farias in a press release, "especially for customers using unstable fiat currencies, and the perfect example can be found in Venezuela right now. Alternatives for accessing money without traditional banks are gaining traction fast, and we are incredibly confident that Dash will flourish in this economy."

If we could only get them to mention Dash on there website, or commercials that would be great.  They should also have a link to a website where people can learn more about DASH.

Due to Spork 10 the MN count dropped, as "old Versions" are being kicked from Payment and listing !
Make sure your MN is on the latest version (12.3) and nothing to worry about ; )

It's possible SOME MNs are being taken off line as the collateral is getting dumped in the market after a 36% pump in price.

doubt it
why would u sell an MN now with these "low prices"
look at the chart , each Version update we are 'losing a couple MN's" - going offline
they will be back when they figure out they did not receive payments due to wrong version they are running
+
200 MNs dumped on the markets would "look' very different (charts)

"Low prices" is a relative term. These same dash were going for $135 a few days ago. I agree, most of this is due to people not upgrading, but that doesn't mean all of it.

This is purely a technical drop in the chart, excluding 12.2 nodes from one minute to the other.

Bitcoin-based projects, Dash aims to become a payment system easy to use and capable of expanding in the world. I find this project with the goal of completely can be achieved in the near future.

Dont mind billyboy, he likes to keep things negative for Dash.
Also he thinks masternode owners are consumers who sell at first opportunity, instead of longterm investors who have a completely different strategy.

Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Why Gift Cards Became a Game Changer for Cryptocurrency

For those trying to spend Dash on a regular basis, gift card services are a must. Services like Bitrefill, the Bitcoin Superstore, Coincards.ca, and GiftOff give the option to purchase from thousands of major retailers around the world with Dash, without the necessary step of onboarding the retailer to accept Dash payments directly.

Why gift cards and cryptocurrency go together

Gift cards are featured more prominently in the cryptocurrency world than in regular commerce, and this is not a coincidence. A key challenge to reselling gift cards online is the limitation of the available payment systems. Credit cards, PayPal, and other methods used in online commerce have reversible transactions. Because of this, it’s inherently risky to sell a gift card that can be spent instantly while the payment used to purchase it can be reversed later. Most major cryptocurrencies have irreversible transactions once confirmed on the network, at which point nothing short of a major network attack can roll them back. This makes the online purchase of gift cards for cryptocurrency a much more secure trade.
