[rentahash]

Guys, me and rentahash have 400 DASH ...

As some of you know, i also have Masternode service like splawik and rest of the guys!

Currently i have 2 MN active, and so close to third!

we are short 600 DASH for Masternode, is anyone interested to pinch in with us? OTOH? anyone?

I have server ready, synced, just waiting for dash.conf to be configured and masternode could be active!



EDIT

i just got 300 DASH more, so thats 700 DASH for masternode ready!

300 SHORT, cmmon who's with us?? 

Yeah it would be great if some of you guys join forces with us

It is also good for decentralization, spreading MNs all around the globe

thnx in advance !

My unofficial Dash VIDEO №2 «Dash is the best alternative to Cash»

Hi everybody, I decided to improve the success of my first video «Dash is the best alternative to Bitcoin» (it got more than 2300 views in 2 weeks and became most popular DASH video on youtube channel) and made this second video.

It is only on Russian yet (voice is not mine, but professional narrator). I hope you will enjoy it, will help me to produce it for other languages and will use it to spread the word!



You can view and download it in several resolutions, up to full-HD (1920*1080).


Here is English translation-transcript (needs to be corrected by native speaker):

New electronic money of "Dash" combined in itself advantages of cash and electronic payments, having provided new level of financial freedom.

Despite growth of information and bank technology, paper currency is still popular because it allows to protect ones finances against total control on the part of banks and governments.

The cash payments can't be tracked or blocked, but for money transfer for distance, for all that, one has to use electronic payments systems.

But, as soon as you give your cash to a bank, it ceases to be yours! Access to resources in bank accounts can be limited or blocked at any time.

But even cash can't save one from actions of the Central Banks capable to make at any time a devaluation, redenomination, a forcible exchange, et cetera.

Earlier we had to put up with these risks because of alternatives absence, but now there is an independent cryptocurrency of "Dash", allowing to use all benefits of electronic payments, retaining at the same time full control over our money.

Did you already hear about «Bitcoin» what is the first cryptocurrency with capitalization of billions? Time to learn even of the first really anonymous electronic money "Dash" has come.

"Dash" is stored at the place of the owners themselves under protection of the bank level cryptography, and reliability of transactions is guaranteed by distributed network excluding any intervention in its work. The payments for any distances are occurring without intermediaries and commissions in a few seconds, at the same time they can't be tracked or blocked.

"Dash" has its own monetary unit and is exchanged for the major currencies via Internet exchanges and exchange services. The issue of "Dash" is fixed in for tens of the next years and rid of inflation risks.

"Dash" isn't only a means of payment, but a promising project with high investment potential. Precisely the advanced technologies and dynamic development provide the attractive exchange rate of this cryptocurrency.

One can store the "Dash" money in a computer, in a flash drive, or even on the sheet of a paper, keeping high security level at the same time. It's easy to protect "Dash"  from losing via proof encoding, from stealing via strong encryption, from spying via effective cryptography.

Simply install a wallet program and complete freedom of personal finance will become available to you: you will be able to receive or to send anonymous payments without registrations, coordinations and disclosure of identity.

On the official website you can learn details about "Dash" and how it can be useful just for you.

Did information of Dash interest you? Share the link to this video with your company!

Thanks to Otoh for financing big part of this video production.
Thanks to poiuty for helping me with text.

Production of this video spent not only my time, I also had direct fiat expenses, so any donations
(DASH: XxG6WRPA5ef767m37eEbGjK8T1UPAVGdCq) are appreciated.
This will allow me to compensate expenses and to proceed with further videos.

I will also appreciate if you help me to produce native sound-overs for other languages (you can use my transcript or fill this video with your own completely different ideas). Send me a message - I will tell you what to do exactly to make it real.

The task and best reward for me - thousands of views to PR Dash proper way.

Is there a plan for English version?

BTW, great vid

BTW, great vid 

Thanks.

I can quickly produce ANY LANGUAGE VERSIONS in 1-2 hours.

But... I need other-language-sountrack for it. 

To produce soundtrack we need:
1. Native speaker to correct my basic (so with mistakes) transcript translation.
2. Voice talent to make soundtrack from this corrected transcript.

So... If there anybody except Russians in this topic - just contact Tugnfa to make it real. Easy!

when I type: cp /home/Desktop/dash-0.12.0/bin/dash-qt /home/Desktop/
it says:  cp: cannot stat ‘/home/Desktop/dash-0.12.0/bin/dash-qt’: No such file or directory

Totally frustrating. I absolutely appreciate all the assistance though.

You might want to try this instead:

cp ~/Desktop/dash-0.12.0/bin/dash-qt ~/Desktop/

The tilde replaces your home folder with the current user's home folder ;-)

Alright. When I type what you suggest.... I get no errors. wouldn't typing: ./dash-qt --reindex    be what follows next? If it does... I get the: No such file or directory error still.

So close. Type:
cd ~/
cd Desktop
./dash-qt --reindex

YES !!    Each command worked. The core wallet launched. It says I have zero dash.... but also says that it is 1 year and 16 weeks behind. So thankful for the help. Going to see where I end up after the sync.

Grapevine, it looks like SirHikmat figured out that the file type is reported as a shared library and it should be an executable.

Hopefully, the next update will fix this and you will just be able to double click on the dash-qt.

Initially we were forked from litecoin, and I assume we used to had this patch (that was on LTC): https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1536

Do we have it now that we are forked from BTC?

There is a small issue with the way the masternode payment cycle is being calculated, which we've fixed in v47. This will fix the payment cycle so that it doesn't have issues during a network upgrades. Please update if you're running a masternode (end users and pools can stay on v46)

And Crowning posted a few posts later ( https://dashtalk.org/threads/v12-release.5888/page-27#post-64331 ) How to fix it for yourself.  I can't figure out how to grab the URL that lands you on the post, sorry!  Thank you so much, SirHikmat and Crowning!!!

Whats the difference between Master Nodes and Lightning network nodes?

lol, true true.
is the Lightning network decentralized? i thought it was centralized.

One exists, one doesn't.

Lightning is centralized by design. It's something like a centralized ledger that is capable of pushing out finalized transaction states to the real ledger at anytime.

Drawbacks:
- It screws with the UTXO set, because you can't tell where the money actually is in the system
- It's 100% centralized and could be prone to regulation. I've seen them talk about this and they say if the centralized node starts to whitelist addresses or something to that effect, they'll just start another one.
- It's incredibly complicated and will be prone to errors for the first year or two
- It's not really that useful if you're paying different people with every transaction you do. It's more useful for subscriptions or companies that are paying each other all of the time.
- There's probably more, but I lost interest 

The masternode network is decentralized by design and can pretty much do anything a centralized system can do but in a completely decentralized and stable way, including fixing all of these issues with scalability they're having in a much more elegant way.

Me:  OK, I'll take this 6 pack of tasty beverage.  How much?
Merchant:  That'll be $5.99 USD
Me:  Can I pay in Bitcoin?
Merchant:  I'm sorry, you're not on my Lightening chain.
Me:  OK, DASH it is then!
Merchant:  Great, that way I don't have to pay extra fees to 3rd parties all over the place.

LOL.

Isn't the big problem that lightning depends on this coin that uses a monster 45GB blockchain(and that could grow 8x faster) that has no paid support or fair way to decide on any changes.
