Last edit: February 21, 2018, 02:29:05 PM by NibiruHybrid #130722 Dash and the Crypto Confidence Gap



The Motley Fool recently published, Which Cryptocurrencies Have the Fastest Transaction Speeds?. It focuses on the raw transactional volume capacity of various payment technologies, then uses it as a baseline metric for casting shade on the ability for cryptocurrencies to compete with existing transport layers. In particular, Visa. Articles like this one do a disservice by oversimplifying the situation. Ultimately, ability to push massive amounts of parallel transaction, though important, is hardly the most critical metric when comparing the technologies. This is largely a response to the article linked above and those with similar arguments.



Cryptocurrencies are forever being compared to other payment rails, and rightly so. Visa, Paypal, Venmo, etc. Some broad functional elements of these popular technologies are commonly compared: Usability, Suitability to use case, Integrability, Scalability, Speed.



Usability, as in simplicity of use and well rounded features, is an ongoing effort. Similarly with Integrability. There are countless efforts, but in the case of Dash, the Dash Evolution effort wants to address both of these with a significantly better user experience and a really well designed decentralized API (DAPI) that is well documented and includes a Software Development Kit (SDK).

In October, point-of-sale and business solution Alt Thirty Six announced their exclusive partnership with Dash. This partnership has been used as the poster child for Dashs use case as a payments system without the limitations of the banking world, particularly since the platforms first target market is the legal cannabis industry, which has traditionally been plagued by banking problems.



Dash Force News had the pleasure of speaking with Alt Thirty Six CEO Ken Ramirez on the details of what the platform aims to offer, as well as release dates and projected 2018 usage scope. Additionally, as a Dash Force News exclusive, Alt Thirty Six released one of their merchant promotional videos ahead of schedule.

We have ~50% MNs running on the latest version (0.12.2.3), good job everyone who updated! However, 12.5% are still running on 0.12.2.2 and 21.5%(!) are still on 0.12.2.1



Not to add any drama but 0.12.2.2 fixed pretty critical Corebleed vulnerability which could crash your node by a specifically crafted set of transactions. While we don't see any evidence of a preparation of such an attack on the network, there is really no reason risking and running 0.12.2.1. 0.12.2.3 also fixed few stability issues and an issue with MN behavior which could lead to a situation where your MN could be banned in some (very rare) edge cases, so it worth updating from 0.12.2.2 as well IMO. Note, that NO start from your local wallet is required for this kind of update, all you need is to stop the daemon, replace dashd/dash-cli with a newer version and start the daemon again. Doing so in a timely manner (< 3h), you will NOT lose your place in the payment queue.



Speaking of the payment queue though, there are 185 masternodes that are NOT being paid atm (probably due to some mis-configuration), see the list



And finally, there are also 31 MNs still running on 0.12.1.x.... Not really sure what to say to these people, probably just WAKE UP!!

Note, that starting your 0.12.2.x masternode using 0.12.1.x wallet will NOT work, you MUST have 0.12.2.x local wallet for "start" command to work properly with 0.12.2.x node.

Thank Joel....great article. It encapsulates everything I've thought...and the reason why I've backed DASH this whole time. OG crypto ecosystem just doesn't get it. That is why Bitcoin adoption has stopped growing and is in fact shrinking. It is why all these other "crypto" projects wont succeed either. They are built and run by fringe members of society like cyber punks and crypto anarchists that don't value the rest of society. And thus will always fail in mass adoption because they can't relate.

It would be sad if dash gave up on anonymity and would allow mass surveilance on its users.

But that is what it has to do if it wants to get positive reviews from the western fake news media in the future.

However we already have such a coin its called "Ripple" thus theres no need for another one.

There are plenty coins with transparent blockchain, mainly bitcoin clones that get absolutely no attention at all.

Dash would not privacy would be Dash without fungibility, I am sure no one in the community can seriously consider that as a viable option.

Ben Swann has resurrected Truth in Media, announcing the projects return with a viral video about Dash.



Former news anchor and independent investigative journalist Ben Swann rose to fame through his hard-hitting Reality Check news segments, which covered often underreported or controversial topics from an alternative perspective to that of major news organizations and pundits. The segment was taken down a year ago, along with all Swanns social media accounts, following controversy surrounding some of his reporting. Now, thanks to an exclusive sponsorship by the Dash network through a treasury proposal, Reality Check will be returning. The redesigned Truth in Media website was taken back online yesterday, as well as all of Swanns social media accounts, showcasing the new sponsorship.
