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

[qwizzie]

Not sure why people blame the messenger, theirs a big difference between fud and facts. The FACT is that dash is the weakest coin in the top 20 year over year. It’s gushing blood again today, much more than the rest.

Throughout much of 2017 Dash posted much bigger gains than bitcoin and most other coins. Which puts your comment in the category of FUD

Which makes the messenger a troll messenger.
Which brings us to the old saying : once a troll, always a troll.

To all the trolls out there : dont end up as a very dull troll like yonton, which everyone sees through immediately (those are the worse).
To yonton : if you want to be a troll, just put some real effort and heart into it, your current trolling efforts against Dash are subpar to say the least.

I know you like to attack me when Dash is plummeting but you’re attacking the wrong person. Its not my fault dash is down to .03 btc! It’s the devs you should be attacking. All gains from the past 2 years wiped out! Just like that.

Dash's Privacy Roadmap Through Evolution and Beyond - Dash Force News

Dash’s developmental roadmap, through its much-anticipated Evolution release and beyond, is set to continue improving privacy for the average user.

Formerly known as Darkcoin, Dash started out with a level of privacy above what Bitcoin offered. Since then, Dash has come to offer a variety of other features, including decentralized governance and instant transactions, expanding the main focus to usability as a payment system by the average consumer. However, according to Ryan Taylor, CEO for the Dash Core team, Dash’s future development still very much emphasizes private transactions:

This is FAKE NEWS.  There is no such thing as a Dash Privacy Roadmap.  Dash is running way from privacy as fast as possible.  The PAIDSHILL writers at DFN need to correct this FAKE NEWS and stop shilling for vaporware that will never exist.

How many times has Dash's "privacy roadmap" let us down?  Evan on numerous occasions promised new privacy features like Ring Sigs and I2P and masternode blinding.  NONE of that ever happened.

Shame on Evan for making EMPTY PROMISES and shame on Dash Spam Force for blindly swallowing Evan's load of malarky and reporting only on hype but never on the failure of that hype to materialize into anything real.

Firstly, this is not intended to be an act of trolling. I was quite heavily invested in Dark, and believed in it's cause.

However, I would like you to carefully consider your position.

The darksend option of anonymity could be smashed by the NSA quite easily.

The anonymity market share you own - on the assumption that darksend works flawlessly - is about to be overtaken by Monero, and similar clones.

Their anonymity solution is superior to yours, developed by hackers. A purely trustless solution.

Good luck to you all, but buyer beware.

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

While zeroknowledge proofs are neat just imagine the blockchain sitting there for 10 years accumulating your data, then one of a few things happen:

1.) The key used to start the system was never destroyed and was kept the entire time so a very powerful entity could see everything that goes on
2.) An exploit is found and suddenly the entire blockchain is cleartext

Darksend has no such vulnerabilities. The encryption we use could be completely broken and all of the transactions that have happened would still be anonymous.

Darksend relies on a collateral system - 1000drks per masternode, randomly selected masternodes, and these nodes sign off on the pooled transactions.

Sounds safe...how much money do you think the NSA has? How easy to simply stockpile virtually all the darks out there, and have the majority of masternodes running...

Sorry Evan but they are laughing at this solution...they will simply allow your network to grow, allow users to feel safe and protected, yet know the vast majority of transactions.

The only real solution to anonymity is encrypted packets of information, that are visible on the network by can only be decrypted by the intended recipient using their private key.

You are a smart, well intended dev. You have a loyal team, you have done well. But your solution is flawed.

This was solved by using multiple iterations through many masternodes. Users can pick how secure and private they want their transactions to be. To actually know who spent what, you would have to control every masternode from start to end.

Plus, I'm implementing I2P into the masternodes. We're going to have our own private network just for DarkSend.

What happened to Evan's May 2014 announcement about "implementing I2P into the masternodes?"  That was MORE THAN FOUR (4) YEARS AGO!

Is I2P implementation another abandoned vaporware feature that Dash Core will use the tired old 'just not a priority' excuse to hand-wave away?  Because funding crazy conspiracy theorists, MMA gladiators, Max Keiser RVs, ATM scams, and rain panchos are higher priorities?

Perhaps after Evolution is released (>2 years behind schedule), Dash will retake its "anonymity market share" from Monero.

But I doubt it.  Evan is gone.  Amanda is gone.  There is no sparkle left in the Dash community.  All that remains are overpaid middle-managers and second-rate developers dedicated to prioritizing marketing over technology.  

The issue Dash is having right now is that we were given a roadmap that said, Evolution wallet testnet Nov 2017, DashCore 12.3 Dec 2017, Evolution wallet livenet Feb 2018. None of those things have happened. Evolution was supposed to be released in June, but considering they haven't accomplished the shit they were supposed to accomplish in November, we're at least 3 months behind schedule. That means that we can at the earliest, expect evolution by September 2018, which is probably a pretty optimistic goal, and we could easily see this get pushed into next year.

In recent history, Dash's coin performance compared to other top 20 coins has been abysmal, almost certainly due to the missed deadlines, lack of communication, and completely out of date FAKE roadmaps.

If we end up seeing this FanDuel, KuvaCash, ALT36, and Festy stuff fall through or underachieve (as it already has because it too did not deliver in the time frame stated which would have seen a January release), it could be a pretty shitty coin to hold over the next 3-6 months. I do hope that Core has their shit together and just prefer to be rather mum about things, but confidence in a team that is constantly missing deadlines is confidence in the face of overwhelming evidence, also known as stupidity.

I wonder how many top 20 coins out there have roadmaps that are admittedly incorrect and out of date?

Compare DashRoadmap.com to a competitor like CardanoRoadmap.com.  The difference in the professionalism of development and transparency of management is like night and day.

For example, CardanoRoadmap.com tells us right at the top the next update will be in "9 days:8 hours:26 minutes:28 seconds" but Dash can't even get their story straight regarding an ETA for an ETA for their next roadmap update.

For the last 4+ years, Dash Clown Group is lost in the vaporware wilderness while the world moves on to better projects with more capable devs.

Dash, the friendly cryptocurrency

https://hackernoon.com/dash-the-friendly-cryptocurrency-3769c6bde9cb

Dash (AKA Amanda B Johnson coin) is a strong contender for my favourite cryptocurrency.
It’s been around since way back in 2014 and is, dare I say, a little bit boring. It has none of the the flash and fancy of Tron or NEO or EOS. It’s not a different beast altogether like IOTA or Stellar or Ripple,
and it doesn’t have the pipe and tweed jackets of Cardano. It’s just a cryptocurrency that wants to be very good at being a cryptocurrency.
And in this guy’s opinion (my thumbs are pointed at my face), they’re doing a pretty good job.

I agree, a pretty good job.

All gains from the past 2 years wiped out!

Why such FUD? Bags not filled yet?

DASH prices

yonton seems to have a problem stating simple facts instead of simple lies, which obviously undermine his trolling campaign against Dash.
Truth is yonton kinda sucks at trolling.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Dash Adoption in Venezuela Exceeds All Other Cryptocurrencies Combined

Dash adoption in Venezuela has grown to critical mass, exceeding that of all other cryptocurrencies in the region combined.

As is listed prominently on merchant directory DiscoverDash, Dash has reached 541 and counting merchants in the country, nearly one third of the global total. This stands in stark contrast to other cryptocurrencies, many of whom have struggled to achieve mainstream success as a method of retail payment. According to Dash Merchant Venezuela business development head Alejandro Echeverría, this is due to a comprehensive on-the-ground presence by various Dash teams providing support and technical assistance:

“In Venezuela we have over 500 merchants that are accepting Dash, with Dash Merchant Venezuela having onboarded up to 80% of them. We know from the developer of the point-of-sale system that we are promoting that there a lot of transactions happening daily right now. Currently, we are doing monitoring that aims to track all the activity from merchants: if they have doubts, any technical problem, and to make a more friendly relationship with the Dash brand.”

Dash Enables Cannabis Innovation to Benefit Consumers

In a new press release, Medicinal Genomics (MGC), “an innovative company developing DNA-based testing solutions to improve cannabis cultivation productivity, quality, and safety” outlines how their partnership with Dash will disrupt the genomics, cryptocurrency, and cannabis sectors.

“A new cannabis genome reference will greatly accelerate marker-assisted selection in cannabis, while providing the industry a much needed tool to track and identify different cannabis cultivars on the Dash blockchain.”

This will allow merchants and quality testers to “monitor plants from seed to consumer” since “[a] genetic fingerprint can be readily generated using the industry standard, StrainSeek Identification and Registration Service”. This will essentially allow “biological barcodes for products in the industry”, and allow “breeders [to] now use this information to generate more productive plants”. The press release added that “[c]urrently, all publicly available reference genomes for cannabis are incomplete, containing significant gaps in the overall genomic structure”. Kevin McKernan, the Chief Science Office of MGC, believes that “one third of the cannabis genome is still undiscovered or collapsed in assembly”, but believes that they can make the referencing “50 times better than the Chemdawg reference MGC generated in 2011”.

Blockchain speech at UK Houses of Parliament for Bahrain Opportunities Forum 2018

On Thursday 19th July I was a guest speaker at the UK Houses of Parliament for the Bahrain Opportunities Forum 2018.

I was invited by the Diplomat Business Club and Andrew Rosindell MP who is a Member of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee of the House of Commons of UK Parliament to give a short speech on Blockchain and Dash. The event was organised by the President of Diplomat Business Club, Javed Malik who previously served as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the Kingdom and now presides the UK-based Diplomat Business Club.

That post is from over a year ago, but we have seen nothing at all from Dash's supposed "privacy roadmap" despite your article setting very high expectations.

Is this story still true, or is Dash going to drop PrivateSend because Japan and other governments/exchanges/banks are cracking down on privacy coins?

According to the latest Dash Core posts, they've been paying Wachsman to help Dash run away from its Darkcoin heritage as fast as humanly possible:


https://www.dashcentral.org/p/core-pr-201807

Dash Force News, please do some investigating and reporting to clarify how privacy is (or more likely, isn't) going to play a significant role in Evolution's ambition to be Paypal 2: Blockchain Boogaloo.

[qwizzie]

Poor Icey, making such strive to keep Dash under constant trolling pressure but failing to notice
that his posts are either forgotten the very next page by those very very few readers of this forum
that do not have him on ignore or not read at all by the many many readers that do have him on ignore.

How does that make you feel Icey ? It kinda sucks huh ?

What's going on at Dash (11th July)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z3bib8ASQii0RSWJ5095wMbWHGzqFst6/view

The market's reaction to this update's Very Bad News (hidden in an invasive Google .pdf) speaks for itself.  Mr. Market is saying "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!"  

Another flash crash today! It’s not looking good for dash at all. I think big masternode owners are selling off too. This isn’t just about a bear market any more, there must be an underlying problem specifically with dash, it’s just plummeting hard

Masternode owners are not happy because for the last 3 years Dash Clown Group Inc has consistently over-promised and under-delivered on everything from Masternode blinding to Evolution.  They don't even have an ETA for the ETA for a roadmap update, despite Nathan Marley claiming one would be made by the end of June.

And now the SEC is sniffing around...



Dash

Great post. Dash is not only a shitcoin but the shittiest of shitcoins. I can't think of another coin with this many braindead degenerates posting fake news and hype in an attempt to get people to buy this instamined garbage. qwiztard, bigretardcanada, niburutard, afbittard - they're probably all the same asshole using different accounts. The desperation in here is palpable.

Dash literally started the rally last year and Dash is sometimes surging even with most other top coins are bloody red. Maybe there is just a different way of correlation to Bitcoin and the rest of the market.

Comon guys .029 btc now!?! If you can’t see we’ve been scammed I don’t know what to tell you. Dash is pure trash.

[qwizzie]

It is interesting how people / trolls accusing other cryptocurrencies of being a scam, are often
scammers themself. Best is to just stay clear of them.  

Now on a slightly different topic :

Regarding InstantSend, regardless of the number of transactions that occur on the network, if I make a transaction, will the confirmation be instantaneous?
