I usually get MN payments like clockwork. But I'm at 5d7h without payments on my MNs. PoSe score of "0" so everything is working okay. I know the reference node was restarted a week ago, but with approx 4 days between payments I should have seen something by now, yes?

Can you PM me your masternode info? I'll check them out, everything seems fine

Paypal now, then Ebay and Amazon, it's only a matter of time.
Paypal now - but it is still impossible to send money using btc there.... anyone knows when it will start?

Ok so that's accepting payment via crypto. Which is cool. But  BUYING crypto without an exchange/bank transfer and all the crazy crap that entails is what's really needed. Sending a scanned copy of a passport/etcetc is such a clusterfuck hampering wider adoption of cryptos.

Yup...and in there lies the problem.  I've always said that....and let it be known, that while everyone is shooting the mouth off about coin features and all the bullshit the guys from Monero are screaming about to try and drive the price up....that none 0f that is even important.  Its to difficult to get in and out of crypto, to exchange one coin for another and for fiat.  People are not interested in something thats more challenging then what they have now...no matter how secure or how many features there is!!!!  Until this ever gets addressed...all of crypto world is a play ground for circle jerkers!

Hello toknormal, I would like to understand, what are you saying/writing in your post. I`m just...too lama for short/long, MACD terms.
What does it mean to regular user ? Not really a trader guy, but I`m interested in... Is there a short explanation, what does those trends means, to regular lama like me ? I read about candles, green/red and what they mean. But need to translate to human speech Smiley

Hi JasonB

A quick tour:

Chart Ranges

Exhibit A Cryptsy: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/drkbtc
Exhibit B Bitfinex: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitfinex/drkbtc

Markets don't move in straight lines. They move in cycles.  Think of a cyclist peddling up a hill and focus your attention the peddle. Even though the bike is steadily going up, the peddle moves down briefly before moving up again. If were an ant stuck to the peddle there would be times when you thought you were moving down when in fact - overall - you were actually ascending. To see that you'd need to zoom out a bit to see the whole bike.

But now imagine your living geological time and the entire hill is in fact sinking. If you zoomed out this far you'd see that the bike was in fact descending relative to the earth's crust, even though the guy is peddling 'uphill'.

Markets are like this. If you just watch a price and see it going down, you can't know if your seeing an "ant cycle" a "bike cycle", or a "geological cycle".

Charts are named after the amount of time it takes for 1 candle to complete. So a 15 minute chart means that it each candle on that chart represents a 15 minute time period. That would probably be considered an "ant cycle".

Traders can pick "which chart" they are trading. For example, if I'm a relaxed family guy with a day job who wants to trade over the period of a week or two and can only afford the time to check the markets once a day, then I'd probably use the 4-hour or 6-hour charts to plan entry and exit points but then use other charts to monitor progress.

On the other hand, if I'm a manic, chain-smoking, 15 double-espresso-a-day cryptomarket addict that needs to scrape every satoshi of the smallest swings in existence  like these people, then I'd be glued to the 5-minute, 15-minute and 1-hour charts for 12 hours a day with a bottle of blood pressure pills on standby at all times.

In the longer range trade, you would not mind of the price went down temporarily during the week as long as it was within a detectable cycle on one of the shorter range charts. (i.e. you're trading "bike time" but you may notice temporary price decays in "ant time"). But the trollbox guys would have to respond to such a movement in order to not loose money.

Candles
The chart candles are simply an encapsulation of whether the price went up or down during the chart interval. It is green if the entry price was higher than the exit price and red if exit is lower than entry. The "body" of the candle is defined by those two prices (entry and exit). The "wicks" (little thin lines that poke up and down out of the candle) indicate the maximum and minimum prices that were reached during the interval. So lets say, at 3 O'Clock, the Dash price was 0.0152 and at 3:15 it was 0.0148.  You'd then have red a candle who's top and bottom was defined by those price levels.

EMAs, MAs
The main chart area usually displays moving averages of the price - in fact 2 or more are usually displayed. One is slow, the other is fast which means that one line is averaged over a longer time period than the short one. Moving averages are used to generate sell signals and buy signals. Basically, when one crosses over the other, that's an indication of a short term trend change, but you need to use other indicators to decide how significant it is. The "EMA" is an exponential moving average which uses some fancy maths to accent the trends - i.e. bring out movements that may appear only subtly on the regular moving average.

MACD
Imagine your in a car. The car is moving at a steady speed. In that case your speed is non zero but your acceleration is zero. By knowing the speed of the car we can know we're moving forward, but we can't know if we're speeding up or slowing down. To know that we need to measure the "acceleration". If the acceleration is negatice, we're slowing down. If it's positive, we're speeding up.

The MACD is the acceleration of the acceleration of the acceleration of the acceleration (or thereabouts !  Cheesy  ). It's basically a readout of the "momentum" of the market and helps to anticipate in advance when the trend is going to turnaround. The indicator has 2-lines (just like the MAs and EMAs above) and similar to those, when they crossover signify a reversal in the momentum. This doesn't mean the price has turned around yet, it just means that either the selling/buying is slowing down or speeding up.

The acronym stands for Moving Average Convergeance Divergeance.

MACD Histogram
This is a measure of the distance that separates the slow and fast moving averages of the MACD chart value. This is a powerful indicator because it gives a visual display of how fast one is closing on the other. A significant use of the MACD histogram is for detecting the length of correction cycles. For example, after a big rise, the market usually "corrects" or nosedives for a while as people take profits (short term traders who are only in the market while it's rising and who will then leave). This indicator helps to monitor the correction cycle and anticipate its closure.

Note: All these indications are only relative to the chart range we're operating in a a given time. The correction cycle in the 4 hour chart may not complete for days after the first correction in the 1-hour and so on.

OBV
This indicator brings trading volume (the amount of money that was spent) into the picture. It's calculated by adding the trading volume for the time interval to a running total if the candle was green and subtracting it if the candle was read. The idea of this one is that the trading volume "drives" the market and can give advanced warning of a rally or a selloff. The way I usually read these is: if the slope of the OBV is equal to or more pronounced than that or the price signal then we can anticipate a market move in the equivalent direction (i.e. OBV slopes up and price is either horizontal or exactly same slope as OBV, then possible rally in the offing). If the OBV and price signal are in opposite trends the it's possibly ***Amber Alert*** (if other indicators are consistent).

OBV is a bit meaningless in the shorter range charts but becomes more significant at longer ranges.

h.t.h.  !!!!

i thought evan said we had a week before v17 stopped getting paid. also we are only at 35% and i thought we needed 80-90% before enforcement kicked out old versions.
http://178.254.18.153/~pub/Darkcoin/masternode_payments_stats.html
shows enforcement has been 'On' since 2015-04-04-02:35:02.
it's all very confusing and needs to be clarified.

The page above is correct because it asks the Dash-Daemon, and the network should know  Smiley

BTW, the second enforcement is switched OFF some people start cheating and don't pay Masternodes any more.

So, as long as everything's green here: https://dashninja.pl/blocks.html#blocksdetail you can be 100% sure that it's ON.

Ok, since people seem to be getting depressed about the price I thought I'd provide the "inside view" from traders who are shorting this market - e.g. me. (On purely a "know your enemy basis of course"  Wink  ).

Dash market performing exactly to expectations now.

My short's still open from weeks ago and now in the black, however indicators are beginning to signal closure-time on the horizon. 1 of 3 of mine already in (the 4-hour RSI now indicating market in oversold condition).

If only I had gone "all-in", but unfortunately I don't do "all-in"  Cheesy

Still, just shows you that if you follow the rules with military discipline at least you can get on the right side of the trend.

1-hour MACD is level but 4-hour MACD and 4-hour volume trends indicate there's still a bit of mileage in my short.

I'll probably start placing orders starting around the 0.01 mark upwards to catch any panikers.

EDIT: oops ! Didn't notice those walls on craptsy. So looks like it's going to have to be in the 13 range then.

Even, we don't need bank cards if Dash available on iOS and Android.

Well you need people to accept it! Its not enough to have a wallet...
Like if i could go to my local coop store and get milk with DASH...
and a way to buy it at the market price with as little fee as possible

Yes, but it is about time.

If you read what PayPal have said and read it carefully, they are not just limiting themselves to Bitcoin - digital currencies, like Bitcoin

Create a compelling reason and there is the option to be onboarded by PayPal. Once they do that, the brand gets value and after 5 years (took PayPal 10-15 years) DASH becomes a self sustaining mass market brand.

now with Masternode POS, my nodes with version 17 should be updated to 22?

Considering it's a protocol bump, you're going to need to anyway or not get paid when enforcement kicks back on.

Enforcement is ON.


How the hell does that work on a protocol update?

Crypto Card - https://platinum.crypto.com/r/28cz7d

It's probably pretty handy if you want to buy/sell something on eBay. I don't know of any Bitcoin (or Dash) online marketplace that has so many users.

Exactly, i was selling some PS3 games and would have preferred to exchange it to DASH or BTC, but instead got £...  so how do i convert 50£ to DASH for the market price...? There is no way, unless i want to pay extra 20% with weselldash ...
