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

[tbct_mt2]

Advantages over Bitcoin : fast, low transaction fees, secure (locked against double spending)

Yeah, I love all of those advantages of DASH.
Bitcoin, in any scenario will always be the King, the backbone of crypto world.
Something like Gold that is used as storage asset globally for centuries.
However, DASH can demonstrate its high value and will be accepted more widely over the globe months or years later.

Hmm i thought you want to make DASH simpler to use not more complicated. :/

Could use some help understanding that.

So from that masternode registration description page:

collateralHash: The txid of the 1000 Dash collateral funding transaction
collateralIndex: The output index of the 1000 Dash funding transaction
ipAndPort: Masternode IP address and port, in the format x.x.x.x:yyyy
ownerKeyAddr: The new Dash address generated above for the owner/voting address
operatorPubKey: The BLS public key generated above (or provided by your hosting service)
votingKeyAddr: The new Dash address generated above, or the address of a delegate, used for proposal voting
operatorReward: The percentage of the block reward allocated to the operator as payment
payoutAddress: A new or existing Dash address to receive the owner’s masternode rewards
feeSourceAddress: An (optional) address used to fund ProTx fee. payoutAddress will be used if not specified.

https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/masternodes/dip3-upgrade.html


Using a Masternode Host service I understand that I have to wait first for the BLS operatorPubKey send from the hoster bevor I can start with that registration.
Let's say I have it.

Then there are 3 Wallets in play
Wallet (A) Masternode Host on the Host Service
Wallet (B) The 1000DASH Collateral Wallet
Wallet (C) My General Operation Wallet I want to use for everything (getting the fees, voteing etc)

Best case I will never ever have to open Wallet B after. So for this case I asume I have to do this:


* ownerKeyAddr I create on B
Question 1) could I create one on C instead?

* votingKeyAddr I create on C

* payoutAddress I create on C

* feeSourceAddress an Address with DASH on it from where I send the transaction..so if I do it from B one from B if I do it from C one from C

Question 2) Can I prepare and send the transaction entierly from wallet C or is it recommended to do it from B?

Question 3) After all this can I restart the masternode if required in the future from my C Wallet? I guess not or is this depending on the ownerKeyAddr if this one is form C or B?

Edit: Question 4) instead waiting on the host service for sending the BLS pup key..can I generate the BLS key pair on my C Wallet and give that info to the host service? So I could start without haveing to wait first.

Thanks for the help

I have a question about voting myself and i dont know enough about the hosting services and how this update impact that to give you a clear answer.
In my case i'm both masternode owner and operator (operatorReward: 0) and voter and the new address i created from my collateral wallet (your wallet B) is the same address for both ownerKeyAddr & votingKeyAddr.

If you dont get an answer maybe you can create a post here : https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/dash-core-v0-13-on-mainnet.43130/page-2#post-207294

simpler to use for normal users. masternode operators on the other hand have to step up and upgrade Dash's tier 2 network  
It will be worth it. Biggest gain for me is intstantsend by default, coming very soon

Bitcoin always being king is debatable. Personally I am not a fan of the approach bitcoin has taken which is to offload majority of payments off chain into lightning networks. Wether that approach will win out ultimately remains to be seen. I prefer the approach of Dash above all other. Dash day may come. Bitcoin is my Dash hedge.

I've seen it all now, Icey shilling bcash. omg! the depths Icey will stoop to know no bounds. Remember how he shilled ETC at one point, because it had a lovely roadmap page on its website.

Yeah, i fear Icey somewhere on his long troll journey just lost his way. I remember him shilling Bitcoin, Monero and now Bitcoin Cash.      
Poor Bitcoin Cash community, to have someone like Icey shill for them gotta suck, specially since Icey kinda suck at shilling.

I'm a user of Herosphere.gg platform and I'm glad with DASH integration into them, making both platforms have benefits with each other. Good job!

Dash Services - are you updated ver 13 ?!
DIP3 activation coming in under 500 blocks (~20h) from now. Please update to follow the majority chain and stay operational.
(If you upgrade after DIP3 activation, you have to reindex which will add extra time to your downtime.)

New month = New longterm price chart from Dash on Poloniex through tradingview.com
It has two MACD's (1 default, 1 popular on tradingview) + RSI
Disregard volume on this chart as most Dash trades takes place on other exchanges. It does provide the longest interval (1 month), which gives a better longterm overview

Probably all of the users are wanting this kind of feature a friendly user approach so as to establish with the community in using the product. Anyway, so far with dash with the good team behind which made this project reach this far had made a positive impact and definitely continues to grow in the near future.

Well yeah. I wasn't serious with my complain here. Just wanted to poke a little. I am not that afraid of more complicated commandos for MN owners (although I will have to explain it to someone with no knowledge soon) however I would welcome if it is explained better what new elements like new invented addresses are for. What is capable to do with them. What is the mechanic behind it. Hence my questions. It shouldn't be that only the one that programmed it knows what it is good for or we miss out new features that became possible with them.

Yes DASH is on the right way to make things simpler for the User with ideas like Evolution. And InstantSend is key for mass adoption.
I still remember bitcoin core developer declaring InstantSend as snake oil after reading the WhitePaper and not understanding it.
What does that tell you about those developers? Was very shamefull to witness. And then ppl rely on autority...really..

As i hear a few month ago KFC stores in Venezuela were going to accept Dash as payment (this was in autumn last year). But I don’t see any news after this... So what happened? Are they still going to works with Dash or something was changed?
Which other companies accepting Dash right now?

It's Church's Chicken, probably somebody mistakenly thought that is Kentucky. It is big chain in VE, you can find posts here or @ Dash Discord

See following article : https://cointelegraph.com/news/kfc-venezuela-denies-accepting-dash-payments

Ok, thanks for clarification. But as I understood from this article, they just said that this partnership in negotiation right now and they can't provide any details, but they didn't said that this impossible. So we still have chances for this? 
The one thing, that I can't understand is in - is this possible to accept anonymous currencies in such big company?

That is a good question, i think only Dash Team Venezuela has an answer on that one as they are (or were) in direct negotiation with KFC Venezuela.
Its certainly possible for large corporations to integrate Dash (see : https://dashnews.org/churchs-chicken-venezuela-offers-special-promotion-for-paying-with-dash/).  
This is because Dash has fully traceable transactions just like Bitcoin as default (but then instantenuous, with very low transaction fees and more secure with regards to doublespending).
If users want their transaction anonymized / private they first need to mix coins, build up an anonymized amount and click on option PrivateSend to send it.
In other words : privacy on transactions is optional with Dash.

Thats why Dash can offer traceable transactions to those companies that want it and private transactions to those users that need it (best of both worlds).
In my opinion that is an advantage over cryptocurrencies that have privacy on their transaction enabled by default (we call those cryptocurrencies privacy-centric cryptocurrencies).

Also since Dash originally forked from Litecoin and then made the decision to re-fork directly from Bitcoin while integrating all of Bitcoin's relevant updates, its just easier for merchants / large corporations
to integrate Dash as additional payment option next to Bitcoin (because Dash code is similiar to Bitcoin at base level).

[tbct_mt2]

No matter which exchanges for DASH, the coin generally has nearly accumulated enough to take off.
It is my standpoint on DASH, for now.
I finished my accumulation, already, and have waited patiently to see the coin rising.
