Looks like the Greeks have submitted a proposal that might get accepted.

Phew.

Well that lasted 5 minutes.

Phew.

Today I Interview the team behind automated Dash Masternode setup service Node40.

At the moment there are about 2600 Active Masternodes. The goal is to make it to 3000 to secure the network even further. But there's a learning curve when setting up a Masternode for the first time. There's a lot of money involved so one little thing goes wrong and your kind of screwed. In addition to that it takes a lot of effort to ensure your Masternode stays online and operational.

That's where Node40 comes in. They make the process simple, secure, and easy for customers to monitor the status of their Masternodes.

Thank you!

Hi Guys,

What would you recommend to be the best charting site for hte DASH/BTC pair?

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/drkbtc (with US ip)

And the poloniex one is pretty good to historical data (zoom...).

That was an excellent interview.

I put it on in the background, but after 10 minutes I put everything else into the background.

lowest price since March any predictions?

That's not true.    Please refer to the USD price and not the BTC ratio.     We are still around $2.83.    BTC ratio goes down when BTC rises faster than DASH but in many cases when the ratio goes down,  the DASH USD price still creeps higher.

DASH historic prices, for the sake of accuracy:

$3.60 on March 4th (as Darkcoin)
$3.02 on March 12th (DASH announced)
$3.11 on March 19th
$4.16 on March 21st
$4.98 on March 24th
$5.30 on March 25th
$4.60 on March 29th
$2.86 on June 30th

all prices are from Cryptsy

As Darkcoin...in Feburary, month prior....i bought a boat load @ $1.65 USD...

So that's why it went to $3.60

(Come on chaps, you were thinking it too  )

I think a dash move up is coming.... Very soon...

We live in interesting times.

EDIT: Greece has defaulted to the IMF, thereby, from now and forever more demonstrating that sovereign debt is and will always be WORTHLESS until paid.

Expect major liquidity crunch over the next 2 years as historical wealth (that already exists) starts to be seen as slightly more valuable than future wealth (which doesn't)

Well, since most of us bought DASH with BTC, we measure price in BTC...

That's silly.  How do you buy the BTC?    You shouldn't measure it with BTC but if you do, you'll probably feel quite a bit of hurt if you haven't already.  Good luck with that.

It's not silly. For example, I measure my funds only in BTC with no relation to USD, that's why I don't care DASH/USD rate, but only DASH/BTC.

I'd have to agree with CODERsp. Whether we like it or not, all of crypto is tethered to BTC and a particular crypto's performance, perceived or otherwise, is its price against BTC. The DASH/USD market is tiny by comparison to the DASH/BTC market (which, of course is still tiny too).

As much as I'd like to believe "all is well/it's all going great" the fact is DASH has been losing its value and all of us have to take that into account against our own personal criteria on investing, our understanding of what's happening and where things are at. The ongoing rise of BTC and the dramatic recovery/re-rally of LTC just HAVE TO be taken into account to protect one's position so considering DASH against the BTC price isn't just valid I think it's fundamental.

This is very old news, but daesh is what resistance members call ISIS as a derogatory term. ISIS hates it and promised to cut the tongue of anyone who calls them that.  It is really not an issue for us in any way,  we also checked with middle east community members back in the day and reality is they feel is completely unrelated.

Our Prime Minister down here in Australia, Tony Abbott, often refers to the "Daesh death cult" and how "they're coming after us" (I think he's decided to incite fear and loathing about something across the other side of the world as a mechanism to cover up the fact the local economy's tanking and he'd promised us all his side of politics were the ONLY ones that could manage the economy properly). The first time I heard it I thought "Geez, I know we get our share of trolls in this thread but I didn't expect my PM to characterise us as a death cult!"

How do you propose we take these into account ? - i.e. what significance should we draw from these trends ?

(Not a jibe b.t.w. just curious what you make of it).

(i.e. what significance should we draw from these trends).

Well (at risk of having my DASH loyalty questioned; but I'm trying to stop 'confirmation bias' in its tracks) I think we're a very technical project. By that I mean I think we focus on the technology and how the technology at a deep architectural level is being formulated, designed and implemented as the primary activity we're all here for. Now, that's to be admired in many ways because if you're going to build a new currency and revolutionary financial system, you'd want to get the fundamentals right. We've all seen too many examples of poorly thought through platforms/systems where fundamental flaws that weren't addressed at the beginning end up causing major difficulties down the track.

However it's also very apparent (and you would articulate this concept more powerfully than I can Tok) getting a tech into the market and getting it accepted is often even more important than getting everything about its development and architectural substance perfect or close to perfect. There's this fine line to be followed between 'getting it right' and 'getting it out there'.

I think we're suffering from perhaps too heavy focus on 'getting it right' and not enough 'getting it out there' and we've become a little insular in our discussion and activities.

That we're now coming up to 18 months of DRK/DASH and we still don't have a proper marketing video out there is testament to what I'm talking about. I don't want to take away from the good work that many are doing (and I've hardly had anything much to do with it, so I'm conscious of how easily my comments could be characterised as hypocritical) but the reality is that DASH means something to people within crypto (and they're either lovers or haters) but is virtually completely invisible outside of that and has no hooks/links into other realms. The trading of DASH that's going on is limited to a small community for the most part, until something major is released, then the crypto speculators jump in too....but none of that is external money from people that have bought into the DASH story, can see what's being built here and want to be involved for the longer term. (Well this is my perception, rightly or wrongly, and I'd hazard to guess it's many other people's perception too).

To summarise, I think we're a project with a stunningly sound architectural development that's as close to crypto nirvana in terms of its fundamental properties around the 2-tiered network, fungibility, and (the potential for) liquidibility, but I think we've put nowhere near enough effort into getting the message out and the price going down slowly like a leaking balloon is indicative of that. The stunning resurgence of LTC (which has not a single advanced property like DASH does) is simply because of the network effect of so many major exchanges (especially Chinese) being so enamoured with it as an alternative to BTC. With the upcoming halving (and with BTC block size change controversy) I think people are seeing LTC as a genuine alternative. That's almost incomprehensible to us here....but it's what's happening and our story just isn't out there even remotely enough to pull some of that activity away from LTC to DASH.
