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

[wozzek23]

I traveled for about a week only to see BitShares, Stellar and Dogecoin all (significantly) surpassing (in market cap) this sadly mis-branded coin of ours. Would someone bother to kindly summarize what has happened with BTS, STR and DOGE, why such a big spike in prices?

To me it is hard to understand too. I think it was Minotaur who said that it was a Chinese pump and that most volume was over there. Really weird.

It is specifically a BTC38 pump with nearly 80% of the volume since the beginning of the pump, for those three assets  STR, BTS and DOGE there was no fundamental change. Ask yourself why exclusively BTC38 as a common denominator and not other exchanges? They must be in on it.

 This has nothing to do with Dash, it has preserved its price range, it is actually quite impressive the stability Dash shows,  this has happened at different stages like when when we where at the 600K satoshis range. We just need to keep working like Evan is doing.

It is hard to say what will happen, but honestly with these pumps if you are not part of it from the beginning you should stay out, if not you are the one giving liquidity for others to exit.

Thank you guys. I personally could not care less for any of these coins - I have 100% of my crypto assets in the most idiotically mis-branded asset in the history of the world (f.k.a. the best fucking name ever, Darkcoin), a grave mistake that does not let me sleep for I fear it might kill the best technology in this space.

Yes, the world is that stupid and I am a part of that stupidity as well.

I am a huge part of that stupidity as well. Ever since the name change I have been able to speak with the other retards on Twitter much easier. Our asinine name has opened the door for more misguided marketing attempts than our previous perfect moniker.

When this idiocy came about, I was happier than a pig in shit. I still have a crazy smile on my face, and I will keep having it when our tech led by its ludicrous name slowly starts to become a dominant means of exchange for all of the simpletons everywhere. 

Cheers,

Most of the transactions are CNY - someone please explain how that is possible - I thought there was a big crackdown on fiat / crypto use in China?

Very good, so this thingy (name) is aimed at the idiots and simpletons. (I get the irony, but simpletons who are the target of the detergent name might not)

Now I wonder, who of all these simpletons (in brokerage houses, big retailers, all of which "might adopt Dash for Darkcoin was ah so dark and so dangerous and so fill in the blanks once the name is changed" for it was the main mantra leading to the said change) have actually adopted it and are now accepting it? The name change had happened on March 12th I think, two and a half months ago.

The advocated for the name change MUST, IMHO, show who, among those that previously were rejecting Darkcoin, ONLY because of its name, had accepted DASH since the name has changed. Otherwise, their argument was a shitty one as it was a shitty one when it was a leading force behind the change.

Categorically disagree. There's a wide range between outright rejection and complete acceptance.

Agreed.

As long as Scarlett Johansson is not fucking me I'm in the wide range between her outright rejection and her complete acceptance. (in my own deranged mind; and even if we move on from our dear Scarlett fantasies to my next door neighbor, "no" usually really means no, even though it all depends on the meaning of the word "no")

I mean, fucking fuck - who is accepting Dash after the name has changed, among those that were not going to accept Darkcoin SOLELY because of its name?? None thus far. Therefore, the name argument was the shitty one as much as the current name is the shitty one - and as such - a very dangerous for its future.

Looks like there were 2 meetings this week in Barcelona,
http://bitcoinagile.com/2BDB86/new-frontier-of-bitcoin-cybercrime-explored-at-barcelona-event_stream

''Haslhofer, who presented findings from the Bitcrime project, suggested that there were several methods available to "deanonymise" users of bitcoin, a subject that has been hotly debated by the cryptocurrency's community.''

[Sub-Ether]

Hasn't Evan and the team already done this?

Wozzek23 I have to respectfully disagree with your view. And I say this respectfully.  Prior to this name change...NOT A SINGLE member of our chamber of commerce and rotary club was even remotely interested in even hearing about a money medium called called Darkcoin...NOT ONE....since the name change...I have 3 brick in mortar business in our area ready to take on both Dash and BTC once we get a package to them on how it all works(people, unlike us do not want to read forums and nerd out figuring out how to download a wallet etc etc, they want it to be as easy as debt/credit card for setup).  This has taken a vast amount of work from myself and others.  Unless our target demographic is "head" shops and comic book stores or fringe type business like maybe sex shops or something...there would be no chance of adoption by mainstream brick and mortar business.

Dash maybe associated in the US to a soap brand...but no where else have I've ever heard of it till I saw that reference made here...in this forum.

Not saying this was the BEST choice....but from a business owner and someone on the front lines of trying to get this mainstream....the name Darkcoin was and IS a dead horse.  I'm on the record over a year and a half ago saying this...and finally the core Dev's got the closed door I got when talking about this.  I think there has been alot of banter about this...but this dialogue does not help our cause. I hope you can respect People such as myself self have spent thousands of dollars or more out of our own pockets to help promote this forward.

My jaw is on the floor.

Looks like Ross Ulbricht is the new Nelson Mandela. All we need now is a new Jerry Dammer to start the 30 year campaign to get him out.

Not at all. Evan did a decentralized 2nd tier network. BTC's lightning network is utterly centralized.

I don't remember Ross Ulbricht illegally drone bombing entire countries on a daily basis,stealing the worlds fiat savings via Libor/HFT(AKA the Fed/Wall street), couping over 60 countries(most democratically elected), irradiating Iraq with millions of years of fallout from over 1 million DU shells causing thousands of deformed births, forced vaccines that don't work and cause autism, forced Monsanto seeds onto farmers or pumping the fossil water table with a secret fracking fluid that melts rock (hydrofluoric acid) and causes multiple health problems for people nearby.

Its odd that an encyption company would jump out of the frying pan into the fire,

+1 Great list. (In fact so great I need to bookmark his page).

I don't know what the thinking is behind this. They obviously know he'll be made a martyr. Either it's been planned this way (in which case the subsequent agenda is unclear) or they're just plain thick.

I've no idea which it is.

[TanteStefana2]

Shouldn't we invite Gregory Maxwell and SF Devs to give up attempts of improving Bitcoin and work on Dash a little bit?

Having G Maxwell would be super cool, I am going to make this chart of the day , thanks

I don't think that would ever happen, he's a bitcoin snob

Do you think people who have the power to force down the Bolivian version of Air Force One because they think Snowden is hiding under the seats give a shit what anyone thinks or are even mentally sane ?
