The new $350,000 Dash-ASU agreement announced today includes:

The Dash Scholars Program, which provides $100,000 in scholarships for undergraduate and graduate research fellowships;
Research lab and Industry open source projects, providing an additional $100,000 in funding for ASU’s Blockchain Research Lab (BRL) and $50,000 in new funding for the Luminosity Lab, and
Blockchain course development, with $100,000 for creating an online graduate course expected to be offered at ASU this fall.
The partnership comes after Dash contributed $50,000 USD in Blockchain Research Laboratory startup funding in August 2017. In November, Dash and ASU announced the creation of the BRL at ASU, the first in academia.

With regards to the Dash Scholars Program, i'm not sure it got renewed for 2019

Dash has dedicated developers who get compensated, a marketing department and great leadership. I think this coin deserves to back in the top 10.

Positive news always released at the right time, and play important roles in significant rises in crypto market.
DASH has a big, really big and solid community, and has been added on exchanges as basic trading pair.
Consequently, I strongly believe in the recovery of DASH in the future.

Yeah I agree. DASH along with top 10 in Coinmarketcap's top crypto's have a bigger chance for price rebound. Moreover, DASH enjoys a fully develop platform and a huge community, so there should be no worries in the long term.

Spondoolies New Miner Signals Rising Confidence in Dash Longevity


A couple months ago, Spondoolies released their new SPx36 ASIC miner for Dash’s X11 algorithm, which its sheer power of 540 GH/s at 4400Watts per Miner and cost of $15,500.00 USD signals rising consumer and investor confidence in Dash.

Dash Force News chatted with Dash community member @DarkWater who did some very in-depth analysis of the new miner, its power, and what it means for the Dash network. Overall, the new miner creates a higher probability of Dash exchange price appreciation as miners will want to sell at a higher price to remain profitable and the already seen increase in hashrate creates a more secure network for consumers. @DarkWater conducted the following analysis to illustrate how the power of the SPx36 compares to top miners on other networks and how this translates to profitability based on current exchange prices.


very interesting .... +1 for private pool/company for fair play game

Analysts: Crypto Set to Take Off, But Not Because of Bitcoin


Cryptocurrency has been caught in a bear market for a few months, but many predict adoption and price appreciation to soon take off due to a multitude of reason.

Recently, Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock and cryptocurrency advocate, was interviewed by Naomi Brockwell at Porcfest to discuss Bitcoin and it’s future growth.

Study: Shorting Difficulties and Heterogeneous Beliefs Drive Speculative Cryptocurrency Prices


Wang Chun Wei, Ph.D. and a finance lecturer at the University of Queensland in Australia, argues in a new working paper that a significant portion of cryptocurrency values come from the heterogeneous belief that investors can sell a coin to another individual at a higher price.

Wei describes the ability to sell to another party at a higher price as the resell option hypothesis and describes how this could lead to mispricing of cryptocurrencies. To better discern between intrinsic and speculative value, Wei focuses on ‘joke’ and ‘scam’ coins as a natural experiment since they “cannot be directly used as a medium of exchange, and nor do they provide the holder with any claims to future cashflows”. He then examined the “empirical relationship between turnover, mispricing and volatility” for mainstream, joke, and scam coins.

Personally, I really hate ASICs, because they partially contribute to force the price of DASH downwards.
It's not really fair to blame all reasons of DASH drops due to ASICs, but those sort of rigs and dominant mining farms play important roles in the year downward movements of DASH.  Smiley

@xkcd also added that this “means the pools operators are not malicious in intent and wish to play fairly and abide by the network consensus”. @xkcd also detailed how “Xhus4Yv5kAyj2JwwL1EZmmSHfoRKR2yRCD started mining on the 19th of September”, but “after reaching just over 50% of the DASH hashrate, the hashrate quickly fell and on Nov 1st these new mining pools appeared; XakyHr1BMvijuN3yMK9Zzj6d8eEKxqzUTk and XrLG7YxovHbWv2atsyWovotiMyN2Rbio2u“. @xkcd also analyzed that “the mined coins in pool Xhus4Yv5kAyj2JwwL1EZmmSHfoRKR2yRCD are sent to XtQrVu9AJWBdk7PAGYEYekwRwCzVNQVcLM and as of yet not spent”, along with the other two addresses.

Here you have a private miningpool thats spread itself over three private miningpools to avoid getting labeled malicious due to its high hashrate and its mining rewards are not getting spent so far (just transferring to one end address), this new mining entity seems to just be accumulating Dash for now.
With Dash low circulating supply (further lowered by Dash masternodes combined collateral amount of -4.9 millions Dash) and Dash yearly reduction in blockreward (-7.1%) and with a large mining entity apparently on hoarding mode, this could provide some interesting price movements for Dash
in the nearby future.

Geopolitical Tensions Create Demand for Systems to Replace SWIFT


US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin recently threatened SWIFT, the global financial messaging service, with penalties if it does not comply with new US sanctions and cut off entities doing business with Iran, which has created a demand for alternatives to SWIFT.

The Belgium-based institution, SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), supports over 11,000 financial institutions in over 200 countries and territories with messaging services to facilitate interbank transfers. The action would inhibit Iranian businesses from receiving funds for its exports and paying for imports. This occurred previously in 2012 when the US and EU pressured SWIFT to “cut financial transactions with at least 30 of Iran’s financial institutions, including the central bank”. The financial blockade was lifted in 2016 with the Iranian nuclear deal, but that has since fallen apart under the current US presidential administration.


Swift is an outdated money transfer system and now there are many alternatives.I think Dash can be an alternative payment service for individuals and merchants.

Taiwan to Crack Down on Anonymous Cryptocurrency Transactions


Taiwan has reportedly enacted increased regulations on the anonymous use of cryptocurrency.

As reported by Focus Taiwan, the national legislature passed amendments last week to the Money Laundering Control Act and the Terrorism Financing Prevention Act regarding cryptocurrency transactions without identified users. The new changes would give the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) authority to crack down on activity not associated with a real name:

We are getting closer and closer to a new ATH of active masternodes on our network :

http://178.254.23.111/~pub/masternode_count.png

Now remember that each masternode has a collateral of 1000 Dash, which means Dash combined MN collateral amount = 4,9 million Dash (sitting in cold wallets / hardware wallets, not circulating)
Dash circulating supply according coinmarketcap = 8,4 million Dash - 4,9 million Dash = 3,5 million Dash effectively in circulation (circulating freely in markets / exchanges).

Done! 4909  Cool

Forward and onward. Next goal : 5000

Maybe at the end of the year?

4932 now.  Cool
