Dash Talk Discord Server Launches

In order to improve the Dash community’s cohesion and discourse experience, and to preserve its decentralization and freedom of speech, several prominent community moderators have created a new Discord chat server, Dash Talk. This server was created and fine-tuned privately, but is now open for use by the general public, and features a few improvements over previous iterations including:

Public Moderation Logs: All moderator actions are logged in a publicly viewable channel. This is to ensure maximum transparency and prevent abuses of authority, as well as keep a record in case of honest mistakes.

Moderation Consensus: No major moderation issue is engaged in unilaterally, but instead through a consensus of moderators. This is to prevent abuse and preserve decentralization of the community.

Moderator Coverage Hours: To avoid situations where moderators are unavailable during certain hours and disruptive members are able to deteriorate the community experience, explicit moderator coverage is listed so users know exactly who will be available to help. The eventual goal is to expand explicit coverage 24/7, but the community will be well-moderated in the meantime.

Streamlined Rule Set: Dash Talk has a simple, streamlined rule set rather than a long list of bureaucratic regulations that can harm user experience or police communication styles. In short, be respectful and not disruptive.

Additionally, the Dash Force 3 Amigos “Afterparty” following each week’s podcast will now take place in Dash Talk.

Feel free to invite anyone and everyone to join who you feel would benefit from free, open, friendly discourse about all things Dash by using this link, or going to StayDashy.com. See you there!

New Cryptocurrency Exchange Furthers Dash Integration in Venezuela

CoinCola, the Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange, will be entering Venezuela as a new market and will simultaneously integrate Dash.

The exchange features over-the-counter trades (OTC) and coin-to-coin trades and now Dash trades, but their Dash services will be limited to Venezuelans. The press release cited how Venezuelan hyperinflation is creating a shortage of basic food and amenities, which has created a demand for cryptocurrencies as a more stable option and as a way to get around capital controls. The press release also cited how Dash has surged recently in Venezuela making it one of the top cryptocurrency choices in the country.

Burying The Hatchet: Let's Move On For Dash

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-bug-exploited-on-crypto-fork-as-attacker-prints-235-million-pigeoncoins/

A severe bug discovered just weeks ago in bitcoin's code has been exploited – albeit on a lesser-known cryptocurrency.

The developers behind the pigeoncoin cryptocurrency confirmed the exploit to CoinDesk on Tuesday, reporting that an unknown miner successfully took advantage of the bug on September 26th,
showcasing in the wild how it could have been used on bitcoin by printing 235 million coins worth about $15,000.

That's because while the severe inflation bug was patched on bitcoin, other coins that have borrowed bitcoin's public code over the years are still vulnerable (if they haven't corrected their code).
If exploited, the bug gives an attacker the ability to print as many coins as they want, going even above the hard-coded limitations on supply cryptocurrencies often have and decreasing the value
of all the other coins investors hold.

I guess I'm a neutral on this as I've never yet frequented the places where Tao is a moderator. I am a fan of the work the Dash Force guys do. For my part I hope it blows over smoothly which is what Tao seems to now be trying to do. In his own words, choice is good.

Banning trolls is one thing, but this seems to be a different scale. Perhaps in hindsight Tao's expansion into Dash Forums (and other places) is or was getting a tad monopolistic. So now there is a new channel. Maybe demo will find a voice there?

I have stated on here that I view Tao as a respected member of the community and I stand by that. I particularly remember his welcoming help when I was very new to Dash myself. Which I am still appreciative of.

However perhaps I prefer unmoderated environments afterall, which is why I hang out here?

Dash Talk Discord Server Launches

~

Thank you very much for launching the DASH Talk Discord Server.
I waited for it for too long.
For now, I can join the channel and enjoy valuable real-time communication there from DASH team and others in the community.
It is much helpful for DASH community.

Note:
The server should state clearly about potential scammers who always try to fake the account names of admins/ mods, etc.
Users should pay their attention on user IDs at first and should not allow anyone connections to their wallets/ computers, even someone who has account names of devs/ admins/ mods, etc.

I am already in the new Dash Discord Channel, and I enjoy the freedom of talk there.

Dash Discord has been liberated.

I hope that the official Dashtalk.org forum will also be liberated soon from the harsh and non-voted rule of Tao.

Stop the cancer of censorship. Death is a form of censorship, and censorship is a form of death.



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

Indian Cryptocurrency Exchange Shuts Down, Highlights Importance of Censorship Resistant Money

ZebPay, one of India’s oldest and largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has shut down its operations from the Indian government’s indecisiveness on cryptocurrencies.

The Indian government has not made official laws with regards to trading cryptocurrencies, but back in April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India issued a notice to banks that prohibited them from dealing in cryptocurrencies. Thus, ZebPay’s blog post cited “[t]he curb on bank accounts has crippled our, and our customer’s, ability to transact business meaningfully” as reasons for them shutting down. The post added that “[a]t this point, we are unable to find a reasonable way to conduct the cryptocurrency exchange business”.

Cryptocurrencies Can Solve the Triffin Dilemma, Argues St. Louis Fed Economist

I wonder if he still feels sufficient incentive to return and keep working on this. I mean seriously, he is probably sitting on a huge load of money. Maybe hard to motivate yourself again then.

Even our "duffs" (see Amount) got copy pasted, poor duffs

First other cryptoprojects copied Dash
Then a whole country copied Dash
Then the whole world ends up copying Dash

Hmm, on second thought i can live with that, lets make those duffs famous !!

Personally, I simply call the Whitepaper of Petro is a totally plagiarised Whitepaper with original ideas / contents come from DASH Whitepaper.
It simply demonstrated that DASH project has big things behinds, so others have willings to use ideas, words, and contents from DASH Whitepaper.

It certainly is good advertising for Dash, i agree.

Major New Hampshire Auto Dealership Accepts Dash, Sells First Car for Dash

A major auto dealership in New Hampshire has begun to accept Dash for payments, has sold its first Dash car, and is running a Dash-exclusive promotion.

AutoFair in Merrimack, New Hampshire recently began accepting Dash payments, one of the first major retailers in the region to do so. The first vehicle sold for Dash, a 2012 Ford Fusion, was paid for up front entirely in Dash. The purchase was made in person via mobile wallet to the merchant’s tablet, which was running the Anypay cryptocurrency point-of-sale app. Additionally, the dealership is running a promotion through the Anypay system to provide “Dash-back” to the next four car purchases, giving an extra 5% of the purchase price to the merchant and 5% to the customer, for a total of 10% of the car’s value capped at $1,000. This initiative was funded by the Dash treasury and is intended to incentivize retail Dash purchases.

In the document, the government explains the cryptocurrency will use the X11 mining algorithm, just like Dash does, and will include an “Instant Send” feature that, per the whitepaper, is active by default.

While the Instant Send feature is present in Dash, Venezuela touts it’s one of Petro’s “most important characteristics.”

Very interesting. I was wondering how they can handle it when their country currency suddently takes minutes for each transfer.

Takeing the InstantSend feature form DASH and makeing it a default on is a very logical choose. You can't have a real country currency when it is not instant transferable.

That InstantSend feature is why DASH has very good cards for global adaptions.

I just hope they dont run into limitations with making everything InstantSend by default. For example i seem to remember with Dash that you need at least one proof of work confirmation when you receive an InstantSend transaction
and you want to send the (still locked) input amount further through another InstantSend transaction.

Dash Adoption Pushes Forward in Africa

Dash Hub Africa and Dash Africa have been spearheading Dash adoption in Africa despite inconsistent funding for their projects.

Ghana and Nigeria continue to top the charts of countries that use Dash to purchase mobile airtime through Bitrefill, according to stats shared with Dash Force News by both organizations. Dash Hub Africa has been pursuing merchant and consumer adoption via their ambassador program. When they visited the Ivory Coast, their ambassadors were able to get 25 merchants to accept Dash and listed on DiscoverDash.com. Dash Hub Africa told Dash Force News that “consumers are willing to spend Dash on basic utilities like bills, airtime, subscription and vouchers”, which makes the “5 of the 8 countries from Dash Hub Africa be ranked on Bitrefill metrics as some of the highest in the world (Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Togo)”. Dash Hub Africa also discussed the overall advantages they see for Africans to adopt Dash.
