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

[aleix]

A sign of success. New regs in Europe coming to clamp down on bitcoin anonymous gateways. You're going to have to give a scan of your passport to the exchange to buy bitcoin.

Decentralised exchanges here we come.

Inching closer. BitSquare in pre-release on Github now: https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/releases/tag/v0.3.6

It's one I have not been following. Anyone trying it? Is it DASH-friendly?

Yes, Bitsquare is a full decentralized exchange and accepts DASH.

I understand it more as just a semi-automated OTC escrow service and it uses trusted arbitrators to escrow the deal. They way it works is the crypto seller sends the coins to escrow and then he waits for the FIAT wire after a few days if he receives the money OK the coins are released to the buyer.  I dont think we can really call that a decentralized exchange, at least not one that can replace a traditional exchange service, the process is just too slow for proper price discovery.

I don't really think FIAT exchanges can be truly decentralized other than face to face OTC trades.  I think we need to make them more secure and trust-less but FIAT  would be hard to decentralize completely as it relates to banking institutions.

you are correct, Bitsquare is a multisig exchange with a scrow system. Is perfect? Of course not. Is this better than cryptsy or mintpal? I think so. 

And yes, with FIAT involved in any step of the exchange the system is almost impossible to fully decentralize.

Dash 1-Week candle.

The thing I notice about this revaluation is that it's hundreds of 2 and 3 figure buys. Unlike the last two where buying was more frantic - I remember in 2014 and 2015, 50 and 100 BTC shots being thrown into the market, then much of it came back out during the profit take, albeit leaving behind a higher floor.

This is a much more sedate revaluation. High volume but moving up on granular Dash.

That is also consistent with the longer term charts which were showing that this was on the cards for a while. (i.e. the reval was already latent in the last few months trading, indicated by a shift in volume centre of gravity to the upside).

Dash markets will now be liquid again because (thanks to the higher price) we now have twice the BTC and $USD liquidity for the same Dash volume that there was a few months ago.

On top of all that, it's coming at no expense in terms of nodecount. The network is slowly heading towards 4000 nodes. Even if there's a retrace in the market, that will only push more of the supply into reserve. (Speaking of which, I'll need to update my graphic. It's already out of date   )

All round a very healthy outlook.



P.S. One more thing: The bitcoin-$USD price is holding up. This is good ! It indicates that it's a Dash strength rather than a Bitcoin weakness - i.e. the gain in the DASH/BTC market is not offset by a loss in the BTC/$USD market.

Dash up, Bitcoin up, Ethereum up, MAID up, XMR up, EVERYTHING UP !! (Oops Factom down... )

Must be new money flowing into crypto.

This may be the year that people start raising an eyebrow. "Wait a minute, there's something brewing over there...panic".

P.S. When the full explosion happens and we burst out of this little incestuous cave known as bitcointalk, expect massive diversification. We will no longer be able to identify "the one". There will be loads of projects making money and we won't be able to ride all of them.

Take positions. Looks like everyone will be a winner as long as your in something reasonable - not mooncoin. Personally, I think Dash is now looking superb and haven't sold a single coin (except to fix my ceiling which I regard as a "proper" use of money anyway  ).  

[TaoOfSaatoshi]

Looks like we'll be flipping back and forth with MaidSafeCoin for the time being.

When 12.1 comes out, with all the news and awareness we should start to pull away with an eye on Litecoin.

It can, but... it's a very dangerous possibility!

You see... you can't restore any imported private key with your Electrum "seed phrase".
So that means you will lose all your funds those you stored on those imported private keys - in case of problems...

And your "seed phrase" won't help you to restore them (so you need to keep separate backup for imported private keys and not all general users can understand how to manage it... So it is dangerous option IMO)

Those are my compatriots as it happens and I'm very happy to have them as marketcap bedfellows.  They've got their office in a sleepy little golfing town that you would not believe if you saw it. It's about as far away from a Manhattan skyscraper as you could imagine and about the most exciting thing that happens is a new ice cream flavour turning up at the local seaside cafe.

I doubt that the locals have a clue as to the mini revolution thats brewing on their doorstep.

I lived across the road from and attended the University where that project was hatched and have been quite astounded by the success they've had - though I'm not invested (should have obviously).

All in all, good company for Dash I reckon    !

Hmm... I don't have "Wallet > Private Keys > Import" in Electrum-Dash, only "Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep" which is not the same - "sweep" sends your funds to some electrum (seed generated) address. This might be even better option actually because it can be recovered later, it just depends on what do you really want - to import this exact privkey or just get the funds out of paper wallet.

I had great experiences with them too. During the ICO, I purchased coins from a BTC wallet that I later discovered was compromised (freaking Counterparty incompetence...their web wallet screwed up the R-value). I immediately emailed the lead devs and they responded right away and sent my coins to a new wallet after I signed a message with the old one. I was really impressed at how accessible they were and responsive they were.

I can see the discussion regarding ASICS is still being debated here. The subject came up for a PoW change of Bitcoin, I have argued against this change in defense of ASICS. I did some writing on the subject and I figured it was also pretty relevant to the discussion in here.

+1 MaidSafe. A class act, and the one good thing to come out of MasterCoin.
Sorry about your Counterparty experience. I always thought they had the coolest, most noble launch ever by using proof of burn. They have had some security issues, but I've stuck with counterparty-cli + Bitcoin Core and not had any problems. Web wallets just scare me.
Maybe when the Counterparty devs get sick of dealing with taunts from Luke-Jr they will port everything over to DashParty!
