A new survey by Humans.net reveals that 29% of freelance workers prefer to get paid in cryptocurrency over traditional payment methods.

The survey covered 1,100 freelancers in the United States and revealed that 18% would prefer all of their payment in cryptocurrency, while the other 11% preferred only some of their fees paid in cryptocurrency. The internet opened up the freelance industry to be done digitally across boarders, however, this means payment can no longer be made safely or practically in cash. The first solution was mainstream bank wire transfers, which carried excessive fees. Then the app age brought innovations like PayPal, but the fees did not improve significantly enough for independent workers.

November was another great month for Dash meetup’s with 955 wallets set up across 11 meet ups.

We had Meetups in Russia, Venezuela and Africa this month and all were added to meetup.com, Facebook, Twitter, and Evernote. Without further ado, here are this month’s winners…

I have been confident in this currency for a long time, and I think I will continue doing it, because it is the little in the market that really serves what it says.

I really feel bad for those who invested their money with prices above $ 500 or $ 1000, such as Neptune Dash, which may take years to recover the investment.

As it was crazy the rise to $ 1600 in a few months, now that the currency is more functional, it is absurd to lower to $ 80, but the market is like that ... and in the case of Dash, compared to other currencies, we have an advantage that becomes a handicap.

That handicap is having to finance the DAO every month, something that if we see much lower prices for a long time, we will pass an important bill slowing down the progress. forced to sell in the exchanger for money a good heap of Dash, it is noted, and other currencies for example the preminated ones, do not need to sell, since there is no mining to finance, nor the DAO, for that reason they fall much less ( XRP, XLM, EOS, ADA ...) can better speculate with the prices.

Hard times come, and the good thing that I see is that the master nodes hold this great descent, just as the big Dash portfolios of the top 50 accumulate.

I have never changed one of my Dash for Fiat, nor will I, I have always used them in merchants, and among private individuals who accepted, that is my philosophy.

Thank you Dash for existing and give us a great opportunity to be part of something that I hope will survive us.

The founder and CEO of Overstock.com, Patrick Byrne, spoke about his enthusiastic support of blockchains and its revolutionary potential that rivals the invention of the internet.

“The blockchain revolution has a greater potential than anything we’ve seen in history. … It’s bigger than the Internet revolution, how it’s going to restructure society.”

Thanks qwizzie to answer and to have useful info about Dash stuff.

You can read up (or back) about it here : https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/51-attack-costs-on-cryptocurrencies-looking-for-feedback-on-article.38356/
I never did get a clear answer if Dash is really that cheap to attack..... i suspect it is not, specially now with the new ASIC miner out (the one with the very high price tag).
But on the other hand the price of Dash has dropped considerably.

Since the success of a 51% attack depends for a part on a weak hashrate, Dash seems less likely to get hit by 51% attacks thanks to Dash (still) relatively high hashrate and costly hardware.
And with regards to InstantSend possibly forming a protection against 51% attacks :

Chainlocks obviously provides far better protection against these kind of malicious attacks, then just having high hashrate and high hardware costs.
 

I was looking at the classifications of coinmarketcap.com and it is sad that, even doing today Dash 100% would be out of the top 10, since we capitalize now 725K (15th) and for example Bitcoin SV 1.6M (9th)

I do not know what Dash has done wrong to be dragged so low, and evidently this black hole has a very negative effect on DAO funding.

If this spiral continues it seems clear that we will end up falling very low on this list, which for many is not important, but that really is the benchmark for most new investors who come to this exciting world.

To think that not so long ago we were in the top 5, and analyzing it now we see that it would be an impossible task to return there, even being a brilliant coin.

The market may be illogical, but it is not a consolation  .

a greeting

Dash is preparing to activate InstantSend transactions by default, laying an important foundation for mass merchant adoption.

As part of the upcoming 0.13 release, regular transactions will be made InstantSend by default. At present, regular transactions work like those of most other cryptocurrencies, with a payment being broadcast instantly but its security not to be trusted until several on-blockchain confirmations, while the InstantSend option uses the masternode network to lock transaction inputs for an additional fee, resulting in a transaction that is secure instantly. With the implementation of InstantSend by default, all simple Dash transactions (four inputs or fewer) will automatically be locked by the masternodes, without incurring an additional cost or requiring that the software explicitly support the InstantSend option.

Hi,
Apart the Chainlocks implementation, could someone explain what this data about Dash mean? Is it really so cheap (6349$) attack the network during an hour? Is Dash well positioned respect others coins?
I'm just curious because it's a retweet of Szabo.

Thanks in advanced.

Quite the contrary indeed.

This shows exactly why privacy coins are needed.

Financial privacy is a fundamental right of everyone doing commerce.  A concept that the control addicts in human society have a hard time understanding.

Can this news negatively impact Dash??

Dash Embassy D-A-CH recently visited Ankara, Turkey for the Blockchain TR Summit to discuss the advantages of Dash and solutions Dash can provide to the Turkish people.

Dash Embassy D-A-CH highlighted that most of the audience were either members of the Turkish business community or government, but there were also representatives from cryptocurrency exchanges such as Turkish-based Paribu and Swiss-based Lykke. Jan Heinrich Meyer (essra in the Dash community) discussed how they pitched Dash to entry-level individuals that wanted to get involved in cryptocurrency.
