Dash Discussion Thread

DASH looks very promising now. After the recent growth, the coin entered the consolidation and forms a pennant, which indicates further growth. But the most interesting thing is that the volumes have decreased. I advise everyone to stock up on coin pending orders.

Dash Core v0.14 Planned Upgrade Phases : https://blog.dash.org/product-brief-dash-core-release-v0-14-0-now-on-testnet-8f5f4ad45c96

[qwizzie]

How to monitor the update progress of v0.14.0 ?


Update Progress Miners : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (V14.0 Adoption)
Current status of v0.14.0 : 0.36% (this will need to hit 80% before DIP8 can be locked-in and later on activated)

Update Progress Masternodes : https://www.dashninja.pl/deterministic-masternodes.html
Current status of v0.14.0 : 11.4% (this will need to grow into a considerable majority / considerable support, before any sporks can be activated)

Sporks Active : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (SPORKS)
Current status of v0.14.0 sporks (spork 17,19, 20) :

It seems to me that Dash has not yet fully opened.  Because I'm sure that it can be much more than it shows now.

Give Dash some time and i'm sure it will shock the cryptoscene to its core.
Dash so far has been a crypto project that essentially has been :

* Misunderstood
* Underestimated
* Ignored

The road has been long and tough for Dash but we are getting closer and closer to achieving the goals that were set for Dash so many years ago,
to become mainstream adoptable, easy to use by both consumers and merchants and to become a network that is fully on-chain scalable.

VegaWallet and Covault Partner to Bring Dash Payments to Cannabis Dispensaries



VegaWallet, the comprehensive cryptocurrency wallet and merchant solution that recently integrated Dash via BitGo, will now be partnering with CoVault crypto ATMs
to provide additional fiat on-ramps, as well as launch a new PoS solution specifically geared towards cannabis companies.

VegaWallet partnering with Dash to utilize some of the first Evolution integrations

Both consumers and merchants are ideally looking to make their transactions as quickly as possible while also saving money and still getting what they want. Thus, it makes sense
to use Dash to be able to quickly convert cash into Dash, in-store at the CoVault ATM, and then quickly turn around and spend that Dash at the VegaWallet PoS device, all while having
each transaction being fully recognized as valid. Dash’s latest upgrade with automatic InstantSend makes this quick and inexpensive secure transaction possible. VegaWallet CEO, Tarek Hajri,
explains the benefits of this feature.

“We are excited to work with Covault on increasing the presence of cryptocurrency remittance for businesses that need it the most. We feel the partnership will open new avenues for greater transaction liquidity.
Payments with Dash and other supported assets are the future of business.”

The DASH core v0.14 is the one that claims to be 51%-attack-resistant is amazing version, but it is just on theory and it takes time for DASH to demonstrates its power to fight against 51 % attacks. I believe in DASH and this version, but it takes time for us to see failures of coming 51%-attack-efforts on DASH network. The above article also presents that DASH has been the most widely accepted in Venezuela, beside other Latin American nations; and the expansions on merchant ecosystem of DASH recent months.

I think a lot of attack vectors have been tried out on ChainLocks on Testnet, to battle-harden it. But the conditions between Testnet and Mainnet are different, as are the number of users.
So i agree with you that it could take some time to see if ChainLocks has found and closed any attack vector. Also it will take time to get ChainLocks activated, as it involves getting 80%
of the miners support and a large percentage of the masternode owners support.

Update Progress v0.14.0 for Masternodes and Miners



Masternodes : https://www.dashninja.pl/deterministic-masternodes.html




Miners : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (V14 Adoption)



Note : 80% needed in a 7 days window (starting this weekend) to lock-in DIP8 and then another 7 days to activate DIP8

[qwizzie]

Dash update v0.14.0 has entered its first 7 days window / 4032-block window to get miners to signal for v0.14.0
Which means we now have 7 days for miners to reach 80% and lock-in DIP8.

The next 4032-block window will begin sometime this coming weekend, at block 1,076,544.

Current block : 1,076,681

Then another 7 days / 4032 blocks to activate DIP8.
After that ChainLocks will get enforced.

In order to prevent any kind of FUDs and shitshows from trollers, I suggest people whom joined the topic and have intention to leave replies to notice on topic title; and avoid quoting trolling posts with rewritten topic title. The official topic title is:

DASH : News, Information and Discussion

So, if whenever you see a post inside the thread with different title, please ignore such posts or you can move further by ignoring authors of such posts.
There is another way by editing incorrect topic title to correct one, but I don't think you should spend time to do it. Simply ignore trolling posts is better.

Dash Trading Volume 24H on the rise : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (24H Volume)



The volume rise seems to be connected to exchange B2BX (registered in Estonia), where Dash currently leads over Bitcoin and Litecoin : https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/b2bx/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/#markets



Note : there will be some wash trading going on in general (not necessarily on B2BX), which will artificially inflate trading volumes. Dash will not be an exception to this as this happens on
many exchanges with many cryptocurrencies. But the general trend on the Dash trading volume is definetely moving upwards.

Dash v0.14.0 Update Progress Miners and Masternodes :

Miners :


Note : The hourly graph will most likely fluctuate a lot the next few days

Masternodes :

[qwizzie]

Miners signal sufficient support for v0.14.0 on the hourly graph today, making it more likely that DIP8 can be locked-in
at the end of the current 4032 block / 7 days window (which will be ending with block 1,080,576).

Number of blocks to go before possible DIP8 lock-in : 3,028


Note : hourly graph still subject to strong fluctuations, but things should clear up in a few days

Masternodes should have sufficient support for v0.14.0 by the time DIP8 activates to enable Dash to also activate some v0.14.0
related sporks. Masternodes are currently at 75,8% and still have time to upgrade as another 4032 block / 7 days window
comes into play after DIP8 gets locked-in.

With the latest wave of shutdowns on Mixer services, from Best Mixer (already seized), to Bit Blender (is shutting down after official announcement from their team), I am curious on the way DASH can take advantage of it and become bigger as one of the best altcoins. I meant the coming improvements on DASH Private Send and deals with harsh managenements from governments globally. I don't think all people whom want to have anonymous transactions are all criminals.

At the one side you have people's right on privacy both on internet and on their financial transactions, which i think is regnoniced and acknowledged by most countries and which has become a hot topic lately
due to huge customer data leakages by major tech companies, creditcard companies and by government institutions themself due to weak security.
On the other side you have governments that want to prioritize fighting illegal money streams or simply seek more control or insight.
Those two sides have been clashing with each other for a long time and this clashing will not end anytime soon.

With cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and even Bitcoin actively researching their options to include some form of privacy on their specific blockchain, it will be interesting to see how this clash further develops.

Edit : https://www.coindesk.com/jpmorgan-adds-new-privacy-features-to-its-ethereum-based-quorum-blockchain  
 

JPMorgan Chase’s blockchain team has developed a privacy feature for ethereum-based blockchains, obscuring not only how much money is being sent but who is sending it.

Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, JPMorgan has built an extension to the Zether protocol, a fully decentralized, cryptographic protocol for confidential payments, compatible with ethereum and other smart contract platforms
and designed to add a further layer of anonymity to transactions. The New York-based financial institution will open-source the extension Tuesday, and is likely to use it with Quorum, the bank’s homegrown, private version of ethereum.

 
Also it will be interesting to see if more people get drawn to privacy-centric (only focussed on privacy) cryptocurrencies or if they discover Dash which optionally provide this for them on a decentralized level.
Or will new (centralized or decentralized) Mixer Services emerge and take-over ?

Time will tell.

You are actually a precious asset of DASH community, whom have made loads of meaningful things for the community and the project, including this topic). I agreed with you on the perspective that DASH provides good feature to optional personalized DASH transactions, so DASH users can use such option for their own interests with each or every transactions they broadcast on DASH network. I read news some months ago, maybe in the early weeks of 2019, that DASH and Litecoin have partnered (I could be wrong), and been on the race to increase better private transactions.
