Dash closing in on new ATH with regards to number of active masternodes

It is very reasonable to see the growth of DASH masternodes. With very cheap price of DASH, smart investors will accumulate more cheap DASH coins, and some of them will use their coins to run DASH masternodes. I know that not all investors will have enough funds and hardware infracstructure to do this. Since the latest upgrade of DASH, total active masternodes dropped deeply (as the chart shows), but finally total active nodes have recovered impressively and nearly reached its all time high. I believe that in next one or two months (or sooner) we will witness new all time high of total DASH active masternodes.

Bitcoin Lightning Network Security Vulnerabilities Exposed, Profitability Struggles



The Lightning Network, the off-chain cryptocurrency scaling solution purposed for Bitcoin, has struggled to live up to expectations within the crypto community. It has suffered from stalling and security vulnerabilities which have become more pronounced in recent times, as well as challenges to node operator profitability.

What most Bitcoin fans dont realize about the Lightning Network is that its still in Alpha phase, unsupported (not actually suppose to be on Mainnet already)
and that it opens a lot of additional attack vectors that you dont find with on-chain upscaling. Because its still in Alpha phase it could take a number of years before
it gets either the support from the core developers of Bitcoin or the overall rollout on Bitcoin's Mainnet by the core developers of Bitcoin.

Then there is the question of how centralized Bitcoin will become because of this off-chain direction. Bitcoin is already centralized through its mining pools of which
a majority is located in China, increasing the risk of a 51% attack from a China controlled combined mining pools attack under direct orders of the Chinese government.
With going the off-chain route Bitcoin further risks centralization when the rerouting of the payment channels leads to the creation of centralized Lightning Hubs keeping funds mandatory online, vulnerable to hacking / ddos attacks and where those funds could end up getting trapped inside their Lightning channel.

Dash is being restricted on exchanges!

Dash has a wealth of innovation, leading to a top-flight currency usage experience. Old-school confirmations, while still used for an extra layer of security,
are no longer needed due to Dash's Chainlocks innovation. Exchanges refuse to recognize this, and make Dash play by the old-school rules when it clearly
does not need to anymore.

Enough is enough. Exchanges, enable Instantsend deposits and withdrawals for your customers! You wouldn't put a speed limiter on a Lambo, would you?

Pornhub, what? I only knew that Verge accepted on porn-sites, now it's the turn of DASH. The second one accepted on pornhub, or did I miss other crypto currencies that are accepted on porn-sites? Anyway, such expansion to a very promising adult industry will bring crypto currency in general, and DASH in particular to more adults, and more people globally.
This thing might have bigger effects in long term, rather than any kind of promotions because porn-fans will fall in love with that kind of fast, cheap, and private payments through crypto currency.

Looks like Pornhub is one of many clients of PumaPay, which by the way is traded on exchanges with handle PMA (see coinmarketcap) and provides a cryptowallet
where you can pay with a number of cryptocurrencies : https://pumapay.io/crypto-wallets/

Mobile Wallet App
Available for iOS and Android. You can store, send, receive exchange PMA, BTC, LTC, ETH and all ERC20 tokens. Manage all aspects of your subscription payments.

This will also inlude Dash now (looks like they have not updated their site yet to reflect this)

Good thing about Dash integration to PumaPay is that it not only offer access to those clients, but also that according to Dash News article

PumaPay reportedly sees adding Dash support as going beyond an integration, and will seek an ongoing collaborative partnership.

Which means you can also view this integration as two cryptoprojects (each with their own token), forming a strategic partnership with mutual benefits
to strengthen their role in the crypto payments industry.

Months ago, when Coinbase released the news that they narrowed down lists of their targeted coins for coming listings, includes DASH. I believed DASH will be one of listed coins after their technical investigation and preparation finish, that what we have now.
It is easy to predict because how Coinbase can ignore such a coin with huge global communities behind, like DASH. The coin has longer history, better reputation, and has lots of more powerful technical features than lots of other coins in list of Coinbase.

Anyway, congratulate DASH community for this great news.

After visiting the Coinbase's blog site to read the news, I saw another article on phishing attacks, that is helpful for DASH enthusiasts if they want to create accounts on Coinbase.
Note that there are some types of phishing attacks, that will be listed below (for more details, please read full article on Coinbase's blog)

• New Device Confirmation Phishing
• Email Password Phishing
• Phishing via Text Message

In the mean time articles from Coindesk about Dash getting listed on Coinbase Pro are conspicuously missing,
further strenghtening claims of biased reporting on Dash.

See : https://www.dash.org/2019/08/17/cryptoviser-dash-core/

Will Coindesk report on Dash listed on Coinbase Pro or choose to ignore it ? Stay tuned.......
