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

[Solarminer]

I want to...tell a story of a couple of nights ago.  My hubby and kids were in Texas visiting family, and my sister came over.  We sat at the fireplace sipping wine and enjoying each other's company in a quiet way that almost never happens.  And she, who is completely skeptical, started asking questions about Dash.  But what about this?  How can you do that?  etc.... and by the end, when she went back home, she'd learned a lot more about Dash and crypto currency than I've ever been able to explain before.  It was very nice.  She's far from being converted but on the other hand, she's starting to mull it over.  Very exciting for me  If she ever converts, LOL, then the rest of the world would be a slam dunk!

Good story.  It is really difficult to explain Dash when you first have to explain the banking system.  Why is Dash worth anything?  Why is fiat worth anything?  Store of value is a tough sell.  Really, we should make Dash so easy to use it doesn't matter what the stuff behind the curtain is.  It just works.

When we have vending machines that take Dash (why would you carry change around) and department stores with quick Dash pay (pay through wifi - no register) All the adoption stuff will be easy.  The merchant side is what is going to make the difference.  Removing 100sq ft of registers, reducing wait time for customers, etc.  A lot can be improved with the buying experience both for merchant and for user.  Merchant adoption will lead to user adoption.

I guess I can remove them from my Authy app.  Just taking up space now. RIP.

Was it you that came up with the idea, or probably several people?, that we could just go into a grocery store, and scan items as we put them in our basket and walk right out?  That would be very cool, no?!

Anyone know what this is?  http://www.dash-wallet.com/  Is it a scam?  It sure looks like one!

Yep.  Scanner in the cart, double check with a scale in the cart.  Checkout by scanning with phone.  Done deal.  It will need to start with a 10 item or less thing with a checker with tablet at the door, but the speed is what will convince people.  No one will care how Dash works, just that it is faster.

Even if it wasn't a scam, the login and signup page aren't even HTTPS. Very sketchy.

They did register their domain until 2017, don't know why they would do more than a year if they were making a scam site.

I like this little ditty.  Makes me feel so secure to give them money with incorrect statements. 

Payments are received almost instantly by the other party thanks to faster block times.

faster blocktimes = instant.  Nope.  Try locking transactions.

This does bring up an idea for an alternative to a mobile wallet for iphone/windows phones ....

Nah, it's a scam, on the list at DashTalk.  I've asked Evan to update our front page, but frankly, I feel guilty because he is so dang busy right now

[iCEBREAKER]

actually just objectively reporting on the features of DASH without using a single hype-word

and why do you need to create a sock puppet account just to hype dash?

And what's it to you, ding-dong?

I enjoy jacking off to myself

I am aware of your autoerotic "investigation". I just couldn't bring myself do give a flying fuck about it due to the humongous amount of ridiculousness it provides. Whatever you think you're achieving with it, backstabbing loser, you're not.

Dash is winning and there's nothing you can do about it, backstabber:

Please stay on topic.  Your flame baiting is not relevant to the OP.

I suggest you fire up Photoshop and contribute to the community's mighty effort to design its potentially game-changing Dash-branded Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser.

This is very good!  Just a little more polishing and it's time to deploy them to the four corners of the world!

I saw that being worked on already.  Some grocery store documentary about efficiency and the modern markets.  The carts are semi smart and items are scanned/recorded as you leave.

 scan your phone at entrance, pick things and just go out.

This outcome has been obvious for more than a year and a half:

Cryptsy!!
USD Trading Starting Soon
USD Trading will start on July 1st in many locations around the world. If you haven't already, then now would be a good time to get your account verified.

and this one we are all interested in..
Market: DRK/USD

Ugg... personally, I avoid Crapsty like the plague!

Because it is a plague. I wouldn't put my bullshit guvpaper in their hands, and I sure as hell won't put real money like DRK or BTC in their hands.

Craptsy == MtGox 2.0

It's unforgivable that so many in the Dash community defended Cryptsy for so long, simply because it was the exchange with the most Dash volume.

How many people lost coins there, as the dozens of red flags were ignored or attacked as FUD?

Shame on all of the Cryptsy defenders around here.  You know who you are.

Invite them too to signup at bitcointalk and we will sip some instamine-x


@ icebreaker

not only these dash shills endorsed cryptsy back then, they mud sling poloniex too because XMR is the no. 1 coin with the highest volume there.

Anybody know if when you open the dash.conf file from the wallet to edit, if it's automatically loaded or if you still have to restart the wallet?  Thanks

Ah what gems of wisdom I most likely do miss

Yes they did.  And now their scam doesn't really trade anywhere but Poloniex.

I love the irony!
