Time to update and fully sync = 10 minutes and 32.74 seconds = 632.74 seconds (additional 16.12 seconds startup time)

CryptoGames now accepts Dash!

http://crypto-games.net/

They offer Dice and Slot games. They've been interested in Dash for a few months and they have finished our integration just now.

As usual, they are not affiliated with the team in any way, please use your own judgement when using third party services.

I'm gonna leave you guys with a colourful chart on scalability  
(Note this is a log scale)

I have NO Tok abilities of TA but for me it looks like the end of correction and the completion of a diagonal triangle... Toknormal correct me if I`m wrong ....

Tok's abilities are genetic and passed down on the female side, he is the seventh son of the seventh generation born on the seventh day.
There can only be one and he is the last of his kind

I'm currently going through a change in gender, and I find this deeply offensive to my future self.

FYI: I am a Monero proponent, so I will probably be seen as a troll, but I could still shine some light on your question.

The current pattern in the DASH chart is a descending triangle, which is a bearish pattern. See -> http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/descendingtriangle.asp
This means it will most likely break to the downside, it already broke somewhat yesterday when it went below 0.0011.

The current situation:


We saw something similair on the XMR chart, the result:


The bigger picture:

Where is the rule
"ABSTAIN do not have a vote"
Why we need to count on them?

You, a troll? Absolutely not. Thanks for the comparison!

Downtrend is a fact in most currencies. Dash is no exception.

The good news is that devs and all the team are working hard to reverse it:   

State of the Union

There are many things happening at the same time, I guess Dash is finally growing in a way were different groups of people are working on independent projects that together will help realize our vision. These are just a few examples of things Dash is working on:

1. Implementing project management processes based on Scrum for communication, development, quality control, etc.
2. New partnerships with recognized companies in the crypto sphere.
3. Decentralized governance mechanism and first provable blockchain based voting system.First to encourage participation by stake holders in development and promotion projects for Dash.  But this mechanism has a lot of potential to help establish structures for management of any decentralized organization.
4. Animated introductory video about Dash to be distributed to publications outside of the crypto forums.
5. Preparing a potential online media campaign to be presented to the community assembly once the governance project is in place.
6. Mobile wallets with InstantX and Darksend support in both Android and iOs
7. Bitcore multisig library support, important for many projects and partnerships that are on the works.
8. Video guides to help people do many things, setting up wallets, encrypting, keeping your coins safe, etc. And soon setting up masternodes and other more advanced things. All to be found on Dash youtube channel.
9. Updating and building the new official wiki with Jira and Confluence.
10. Development of v12 with many improvements in efficiency and removing the reference node.
11. New official Chinese mandarin www.dashpay.io site to be launching soon after the russian and spanish versions were a success.


This is not an official list, just the things that come to my mind right now, that we are working on. There are more things to come this year but this is more or less the state of the union right now. Although like I said I may be missing some things as there are many smaller groups working on things now and is getting harder to keep up with everything that is happening at the same time. Anyway I think that my list covers a good percentage of what is going on.

Where is the rule
"ABSTAIN do not have a vote"
Why we need to count on them?

I think, to be nimble, in the future, votes will work on a quorum or something.  But for this first vote, we want it to be a popular vote (meaning, a majority of all the Masternode owners need to feel good about this idea).  Frankly, I'm shocked that it's taking so long to get half the MNds to vote. Where is everyone?  Is it too hard to do?  Perhaps there are that many people on the fence, but I can't imagine there are so many out there without an opinion!

[TanteStefana2]

is there no way to vote directly from the masternode wallet?

my folder config:
drkmn01/dash.conf
drkmnNN/dash.conf

dash-qt.exe - Masternode1
dash-qt.exe - MasternodeNN

dash-qt.exe

i have to copy the dash.conf file to the main folder, then rename it to masternode.conf and then execute dash-qt.exe to vote?

Try on the remote (if that's available to you) and say "dashd masternode vote yea"

Or open any wallet (preferably empty) with your dash.conf or your dash.conf + you masternode.conf in the .dash file, then vote (first, same as above. second, masternode start-many)

Check your vote via:  masternodelist votes | grep (your remote IP) to check what was entered and if it took.

If all that fails, which it shouldn't, then load your actual masternode, I guess.

It seems some 1,395 MN did not vote. Otoh himself has about 50% of these MNs so if he did not vote yet, herein you have a half of your answer, And there are other big holders, one with more MNs than Otoh...
