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

[TaoOfSaatoshi]

Some comparisons of DASH vs Bitcoin metrics for those interested.  Thanks to Sub-Ether for the TAO ratios.  Note that the two most meaningful numbers here are the blockchain growth and TAO as these affect usability and bandwidth.

I would bet the TAO ratio is more dependent on internet speed.  The blockchain download speed of 1MB/S is about 8Mbps.  That approaches the entry level 8Mbps or 10Mbps speed offered by ISPs and could be the limiting factor in updating.

DASH Metrics                                           DASH      Bitcoin
Average Transaction Size                              1           0.85   KB
Average Transactions per Day                    1500       110000  Transactions/Day
Blockchain Size                                          1.4          47     GB
Blockchain Growth                                      1.5         93.5   MB/Day
Blockchain Update Speed/hr blocktime(TAO)  0.15         4.14    Sec/Hr
Blockchain Download Speed                        0.417       0.941   MB/Sec

I agree there is a cut off point 'entry level' for ISP speed, the bitcoin one is much higher than Dash of course, but instantX negates a high bandwidth requirement altogether, as proved by me doing instantX transactions on an android phone that has a bandwidth of a dial up network equivalent (not a full client of course, but at ~1.2 gigabyte, it is still possible on a mobile)

Actually whether you are using a solid state drive or magnetic makes quite a difference for bitcoin (not much for lightweight Dash, btw) as there is a hell a lot of data to be processed with big blocks and 47 gig total, and my HDD reference machine is down atm unfortunately to cross reference it (worn it out, mining, going to try some new capacitors on mobo, lol).

For updating, I barely use 5% of a 100 meg bandwidth connection even for bitcoin, what is more likely the network and the seed nodes are too slow to keep up with the client, this is the reaction time and quality factor that I was trying to model with Tao.

The usability and Tao ratio upto the maximum of 1 megabyte full blocks could be something like this,
doesn't matter if its a 8 megabyte block either, as a full block always means a flat line, no more transactions can be sent!

 y = tanh(x)

My ratio gets more impressive by the day...

Fine, I don't know which comment was yours, but I just barked.  Doubt it helps.

I don't see myself as a hero because what I'm doing is self-interested: I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.

 Anyone suggest a chart analysis webby that has Cryptsy Dash/BTC API ?  Bitcoinswisdom is "dead"

 Unfortunately Tranding View doesnt, and all Bitconwisdom seems "dead"

[WastedLTC]

Talking about masternode payments, is it me or do the MN payments seem to have like a 3 day period these days ?

Same for me for a while.

I guess the previously used reference node just wasnt as efficient as this decentralised method of processing mn payments

Many of my nodes have 6 day periods between payments and others have payments within 3-4 days....    its all over the place right now.

that one is as official on Android as we have it
hashengineering is involved in the community
but works on 20 (or something crazy) other coins/wallets too

Oh, if devs approved this developer I don't think I had any problems with it. Thanks for the info. I'll try it when my new Android phone comes from postage.

I don't think you can say these guys are developer approved.  Though I did get the feeling they're well respected.  Still, please do your due diligence.

OUCH !! ... gonna have a loot at the charts.

 And with absolutely ZERO delivery on super-duper scrypt miners since more than a year... GPU miners will need to go somewhere. I see a solid profitable future for ye old GPU miner on a dashingly cool algo (double pun intended)

To be fair, it's currently 100% up on it's April value which was a multi-year low, so it's back to where it was around June 2014. However, now that that massive pump has left such a huge wall of resistance I doubt there's much room for manoeuvre except down.

Big picture since 2013:


P.S. As an interesting point of trivia (for me at least), event [2] was the second and last time I ever bought any cryptocurrency with fiat  

Should be interesting to monitor Dash's hashrate and multipools %
