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

[Anduril_FotW]

My DASH installation suddenly disappeared from my laptop and I have a feeling it was because of a Windows 10 update.

I then re-downloaded the DASH wallet, but it doesn't run anymore on my laptop.
It starts, but then it only appears as an icon in my taskbar and nothing happens when I click on it.
It just displays as a gray field when I hover over it and the wallet doesn't pop up anymore.

Anyone else having this issue in Windows 10 ??

When I run the same software in a Windows XP VM I have no issues, so must be a Windows 10 thing.

Help would be really appreciated !

My guess is windows decided to move your program file directory.  Try running with a bat file and specifying the directories.
open notepad and copy and past this into it.  Save as dashstart.bat.  double click or right click and run.  Edit directories as needed.  Understand that c:\Program Files doesn't work since it has a space but Progra~1 should work(first 6 letters tilde 1, 2, 3 etc.).  I think you can also do spaces by adding quotes "C:Program Files\dash".  Capitals also matter, so check.  Better yet, move out of the program files, and put in c:\uniquename\ don't call it dash or make it obvious for someone looking.  Also rename your wallet so the .dat isn't there collecting another easy way to search for it.

Code:

C:\Progra~1\dash\dash-qt.exe -datadir=C:\Progra~1\dash\Data -wallet=wallet.dat -conf=C:\Progra~1\Config\dash.conf

bid orders 210 versus ask orders 221

We may have a full swing price reversal on our hands...

bid orders 210 versus ask orders 221

or 139BTC vs 100BTC

Deutche bank have just produced this document which is chock full of meaty stuff for Dash people including major vindication that this project being driven smack squarely on target from the point of view of monetary priorities. Instant payments, payment clearing systems, the potential for an electronic form of cash (which doesn't yet exist according to most of their definitions) grabbing large parts of the paper & coin cash economy - you name it, it's all here.

It's vindication for Dash's approach because it further crystallises the divergence and consolidation of the cash vs credit paradigms for electronic platforms as I've been alluding to here, here and here for example.

The meatiness of this document knows no bounds in the context of Dash's current roadmap IMO - I've tried to highlight a few of the best bits but I could have just lifted any chunk out at random. I urge people to read it through from start to finish. In particular it drives a wedge between Dash and bitcoin in monetary definition terms.

I've often thought that the people developing bitcoin's "scaffolding" (sidechains, payment channels), while being very clever programmers, are almost clueless as to what they're doing to bitcoin financially (for better or worse). They're wandering unconsciously into territory of which they appear to have very little understanding but which at the same time is becoming increasingly well defined by others that do, in a way that's going to leave bitcoin "boxed out" of the dominion that satoshi originally targeted: realtime, peer-to-peer payments.

As Coindesk puts it:



For example, note:

"instant” (also “immediate”, real-time”) means less than one minute, ideally only a few seconds"

and

"The ECB explicitly defines a real-time payment as a fund transfer whereby the funds are
immediately credited to the payee’s account."

Although this isn't necessarily an attack on bitcoin's potential for dominance, it's clear that it will not qualify as a realtime, instant payments network under the ECB's definition - in particular if it starts using payment channels as the predominant merchant facing technology layer because then bitcoin has just re-invented the wheel that already drives the current merchant clearing system.

If we translate the specifications in this document onto a cryptocurrency then what's needed is a natively instant blockchain confirmation mechanism that is also as natively scaleable as possible without recourse to payment channel meta layers. Add to that a fungible, fully transparent blockchain and you've got an incredibly tight compliance with both historical definitions of cash as well as emerging formulations for defining it on an electronic platform such as the ECB are busy producing now.

Here's the whole doc: http://www.scribd.com/doc/292980742/Instant-Revolution-of-Payments

Enjoy ! (and don't be put off by the fact that they cite Ripple as 'instant' - it's a bank remember   )

Doubtful.  Looks like someone is accumulating though.

I have my buys set around .0058 - .006.

We just touched 100 on fib lines (on my charts).  It will drop back down soon.


Might be a good idea to set some buys around .0057 too...keeping a keen eye on this.


Edit:  Looking overbought.  Tread carefully.

That's clear, no problem, but wasn't the Film Festival a while back?  Nobody saw, nobody told us?  Our spy network is definitely slacking!

Well at least Bitcoin Rush let us know what's up   Thanks Bitcoin Rush!
