PrivateSend Transaction Fee in USD    : 0.022508039344206733  

The total fees for mixing coins with 4 rounds are not expensive, and it bring more privacy. I use DASH for my transactions some times but I don't care too much on privacy because I am not manage to mix coins. After reading your given mixing fees on test net, I plan to learn more technical mixing steps with DASH, for future usages.

0.00331614 for total 31.25 DASH, 4 mixing rounds. Looks very good fee.

Thank you.

I also have the PrivateSend mixing fees for 16 Rounds :

Dash amount : 31.31
Number of Rounds : 16

PrivateSend Mixing Fees on Testnet with version v0.16.0.0

Balance of Financial Power in Venezuela (w/ Ernesto Contreras)

Digital currency was born in 2009, and has been facing an uphill battle around the world even though in many ways it offers a superior product than fiat systems. In Venezuela, Dash has found a place where the legacy system's defences appear to be weaker than most countries. Smelling blood, Dash has used the power of its decentralized autonomous organization to fund groups that are building legit crypto ecosystems and educating Venezuelans on the unique benefits of Dash. They often have to re-educate those who have tried Bitcoin and weren't impressed. Ernesto Contreras regales us on the balance of financial power in Venezuela on this episode of CATV.

Thank you for your post.

From my perspective just because serious allegations might not have been specifically made against Whitebit exchange in this forum by a user claiming to be a victim, it does not negate the issues surrounding the same team that operate and control several exchanges.

For argument sake, if the same team operate 10 exchanges of which 9 are scams and 1 has no allegations against - what is the correct thing to do? Likewise for argument sake, if the same team operate 10 exchanges of which 1 is a scam and 9 are not - what would be the correct thing to do with regards to warning users?

I sent out a warning but leave it to others to conclude whether it was appropriate for me to do so.

So why is exchange WhiteBit not mentioned in here ? -->  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 ? (Scam Accusations)
And where are the actual cases of users having lost funds on this specific exchange ? This exchange has been operating since 2018,
surely if they are scammers they would have left a bunch of scam cases by now ?

If there is real evidence of scam cases then Dash Help needs to distance itself from that exchange.
So far i have not seen any tangible evidence.

I created a separate thread on dash.org/forum to gather more feedback : https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/whitebit-exchange-scam-accusations.50323/

Since the beginning of Dash master nodes, a fairly stable progression has been followed.

Occasionally there were sharp drops, but in a short time it returned to the normal line.

Now, we've been off the benchmark for a year.

Is profitability likely to cast doubt on future node progression?

  Does the bearish price make the investment and its return not compensate the volatility to the downside, and the owners sell their nodes in the market?

Any opinion about it?

IF the progression is broken, would it be possible that in one year we lose the 4000 nodes?

China’s Center for Information and Industry Development has revised its cryptocurrency project rankings. Thirty-seven crypto projects were evaluated
overall and in three sub-categories. Bitcoin has risen while the top three spots remained occupied by EOS, Tron, and Ethereum.

Guess who is still above Bitcoin ?

Craig Wright in Hot Water, XRP Not a Security?, DashPay Username Demo...and more! | CATV LIVE

Craig Wright may have incriminated himself while trying to confirm ownership of certain private keys. A powerful financial player declared he doesn't feel that XRP is a security. Wirecard is missing 2 billion in cash, possibly indicating trouble for Crypto.com debit cards issued by Wirecard. A much-anticipated DashPay wallet username demonstration video has been released, and we'll check it out today. All that and more on this weekend's CATV LIVE!

What Is Dash Digital Cash and Why Do We Need It?

There is a wealth of information on Dash out there. A lot of it is featured on Dash's various advertisements over the years. In this amalgamation of Dash promotional videos, a strong case is made for why we need to start a new economy with digital currency, and why Dash should be at the forefront of this financial revolution. A lot of thought went into this one! Hope you enjoy and share.

If the masternodos fall as we are seeing, we can assume that those Dash come to the market to exchange for other crypto currencies, or to be exchanged for stable coins.

Could it be that Dash suffered a deterioration in the price for triple play?

1- Mining that only seeks to amortize equipment and obtain profitability in fiat

2- Master node owners who sell their profits to the market, and maintain 1000 Dash to continue in the master node market.

3- Liquidation of Master Nodes due to the poor performance of Dash in the market ... we lost the top 10 now the top 20 and at this rate possibly the top 30.

It's like a death spiral just based on price and not Dash's use value and chances.

Is there a price equilibrium where the risk ensures the entry of funds to create new master nodes ... $ 70 ... $ 50 ... $ 10 ... would be a fundamental minimum value?

What do you consider the best investment to obtain passive returns in the crypto world? ...

I am very clear, but the market tells me that I am wrong

Dash ... Atom ... PIVX ... Zcoin

Kraken introduces off-chain staking with BTC, USD and EURO

Off-chain staking is currently available for Bitcoin (XBT), Euro (EUR), and US Dollar (USD) balances in your Kraken account.
If we add new assets, we will update the available asset list here.

Read more here : https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044886311-Overview-of-Off-Chain-Staking-on-Kraken



Still no information about Cosmos and Dash on-chain staking actually getting implemented on Kraken.
I created a topic on Kraken's Reddit page, hoping to get some kind of response from Kraken --> https://www.reddit.com/r/Kraken/comments/hf13z0/dash_staking_implementation/


Meanwhile Ledger just implemented Cosmos (ATOM) staking on its latest Ledger Live version. Hopefully Dash staking on Ledger will be next



I created a topic on Ledger's Reddit page to ask them if they have any plans to introduce Dash staking on Ledger Live -> https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/heic2m/ledger_staking/

The cost of the maintaining the emission schedule is still 100% borne by miners, regardless of what reward they receive. That should have formed the starting point for any "economic analysis" because it's the only quantitively known factor in Dash's economics. If it costs them $100k to mine X days of Dash's emission curve, they still have to dump $100k of Dash on markets to pay for it. (Before MN's even sell 1 single Duff)

Hey Tok, nice to see you're still round here. We are many to miss your provoking thoughts.

Xkcd has read your post above, and here are his interesting remarks posted on one of the too numerous Discords:

Well I read Tok's post on the ANN thread and the guy is a good magician tricking you into somehow thinking the more the miner wastes on Electricity to mint a block the more valuable those coins will be.  He is wrong with that.  The miners serve to secure the chain and once it is secured sufficiently any more mining does not add value to the chain, but instead wastes money, we are effectively paying for all those gigawatts of electricity! :weary:
Tok likes to play dumb and miss the point that if we juice up the MN ROI more money will flow into making new MNs thus reducing the ROI and soaking up the DASH in the circulating supply as Ryan calls it, this has in the past been shown to raise price and we expect it will do so again, at least in the short term.

We can easily discount Tok's hypothesis with a simple mental masturbation.  Suppose GOLD miner A is able to dig up the yellow metal for $600/Oz, but says Oh Fuck it!  I want to be able to sell it for higher prices (currently $1750) so he says I will waste money and raise my costs to $800/Oz.  Will he be more profitable?  Will the gold price rise?
Tok's line of thinking is the tail wags the dog, however, anyone familiar with the animal would observe the dog wags his tail.  Tok believes price chases hash rate, but hash rate chances price.  We see that on the Bitcoin chain where if there is significant movement in price, the hashrate moves to adjust, in general.
Tok fails to notice though that the Bitcoin hashrate is at a ATH, yet there is a bearish divergence with BTC price, which is one half the ATH.
If Tok were right, then it stands to reason that the BTC price must already be over $100k due to miner hash rate, but that is not the case, so he must be wrong.
