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

[MadGamer]

Damn , this looks sick and awesome I wish Bitcoin was working on the same way . Thanks both Taylor05 & Solarminer .
last question , When you guys say that I need 1000 Dash which is basically equal to 10 BTC , does it mean that I need to spend them or something ? or I can keep those on my wallet and use them once I stop using Masternodes

Exactly, keep them. Your masternode is alive as long as you have 1000 in your wallet.you can spend them normally.

yep, keep them safe in a cold wallet.

Now another last question lol User above said :

Running a masternode is work... you have to keep it updated, monitor it, and pay to host it,

What does that means exactly (I get the hosting part), I mean it's not like Bitcoin node  ? just opening ports and running the wallet all the time ?

it means you will need to find änd hire a VPN server (some 5$ per month), install  firewall, install Dash software and upgrade the Dash software in case of new Dash versions (or in case of upgrades on your rented server) .
These VPN servers normally have a variety of OS to choose from, we normally choose Linux. There are some good manuals on Dashtalk which describes every step to take.

My advice, read through this manual to get a feeling whats needed  : TAO'S MASTERNODE SETUP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES  
https://dashtalk.org/threads/taos-masternode-setup-guide-for-dummies.2680/

And see my signature for some basic Linux commands to use in case of upgrading a masternode ...
  

Awesome stuff man , I really regret that I didn't go into Darkcoin when it first was released It's always like that .. I always see the potentional on something when it's too late . anyway thank you again

I'am not sure what's your definition of being late on the Cryptoo currency world but for what comes to mine then it's being late for being able to mine using your PC

Congratulations to all involved in that fantastic promotional video! It was well worth the wait. It is now being used in the Dash Twitter PR Initiative, with new followers given a link to check out the vid. It should keep a steady stream of eyeballs on it. LOVE the end, with the classic Dash to Cash flip! Beautiful.

Top job, all, really fantastic!

I want to say that I'm currently pretty happy with the masternode bandwith. After 14 days this month they have used 25GB, a little less, a little more, so my 100GB limit is not in danger. Thank you Evan and the Core Team for everything.

Well, if you wont get some penny with your PC there are a lot of joke coins out there to mine. But if you want invest in something serious, if not the best coin, Dash is that, with his enormous technical and economic potential... the begining of a new world.

Lucky SOB...my cost basis is $6.88 apiece!! I discovered Dash (aka Darkcoin) too early--wish I wouldn't have found it until now =) haha

I really liked the site's idea too, but the design is awful. If they fix that and make it look professional, I am sure the exchange will get a lot of volume. Also adding alt pairs would be cool too (if that is not the future development).

Bump... @eduffield can you please add this video to the OP.

Official Newcomer Introductory Video Release

One of our main objectives going forward is sharing the good work we are doing in Dash with the public. Part of our vision is to cultivate adoption of this ecosystem through education, promotion and engagement of potential users on the benefits of cryptocurrencies and the functionality our solutions enable. This is very important for the future of the Dash project.

New “Getting Started” Section for Newcomers

One of our main goals going forward is to raise awareness about the advantages of digital currencies and the Dash project. We felt our website dashpay.io was really missing a lot of information on the project, so that newcomers either to the world of crypto or to the community could easily understand what we are doing and what are the main advantages and differentiators of Dash.

What a great promotional video! Excellent work and it will surely help many new (and old!) users to cryptocurrencies in general and Dash in particular! With the promotion budget approved, I'd love to see more high quality pieces like this come out  

[italeffect]

I don't know about you all... but I'm getting excited.

[ImI]

why?

[stealth923]

Congrats to the Dash team, great video and excited about the amazing things to come!

Well done.

Edit: And we are at another Masternode record 3097!!

I agree with you. They have told me that they are working on the websites design. They have an opportunity here to win a lot of marketshare so they need to listen to those complaints. I'll keep on them.

Follow them on Twitter @Dashcurex for updates.

Awesome stuff man , I really regret that I didn't go into Darkcoin when it first was released It's always like that .. I always see the potentional on something when it's too late . anyway thank you again

I don't see why it's "too late"?  There has hardly been any attention given to Dash/Darkcoin.  The price is extremely low.  For most people in the world, a masternode is well within reach, but totally not required.  Hell, I'd buy $5 worth and tuck it away somewhere, you might have a leg up in a few years.  I bought a few, 10-20, and given them to my nephews.  Of course, we're stone cold broke, so that was all I could do, but I'm hoping that it will turn into something that might help them buy themselves something nice in a few years too  And, though everything I have is also the kid's, I've just made them wallets, each one, and am putting 10 coins in each so that they might have a nice chunk of money to pay back for never getting any allowance, LOL.  Only have one kid still in High School, none of them ever got allowance.  Poor things.  So here is my chance to make up for that

You have to understand, Dash intends to become the #1 currency in the world for everyone, EVERYONE to use.  Think on that.  Even if we only get 1/100th of the world's population to use Dash, that's 70 million people.  Using Dash for everyday expenses, because Dash is the only coin with instant transactions, and the only coin with such a mature network that you know your coins are safe.  There is no way anyone can catch up now.

So too late?  Ha!  It won't be too late for some time still   Because we're not going to stop growing and offering better and better services.  Because Dash has a way to raise funds, not through altruism but through the blockchain, reliably and consistantly to fund projects that improve and support the Dash network.

I'am not sure what's your definition of being late on the Cryptoo currency world but for what comes to mine then it's being late for being able to mine using your PC

Oh gosh, that was never a money maker.  That was pure luck for those who mined in the begining, and those people didn't know what they had, they all sold it.  And they had expensive equipment.  They already put a lot of money into it and didn't have the luxury to hold, most of them.  It wasn't their mindset anyway.  Evan bought up coins like crazy in the begining, I think because he couldn't mine up as much as he wanted to himself.  There was already competition with those people with the equipment.  That was their thing.  I was there from the begining, but my little PCs all trying to mine, LOL, I made a little over 1500 coins all together, then bought the rest to enable me to have 2 masternodes.  Then sold what I earned to pay back what I bought (thank god I was able to)  So no, mining wasn't the way in, but rather - those who heard Evan's vision, and followed, and bought coins - those are the ones who hold a lot of coins right now.  And many of them bought at a much higher price than it is right now.  But we're so enamored with the long term goal of this project that we don't even seem to care about price anymore.  We're not doing anything with the coins anyway, it's all about the end game for us.

Well, a lot of us, LOL, I'm sure not all of us ;P
