Very interesting. I was wondering how they can handle it when their country currency suddently takes minutes for each transfer.

Takeing the InstantSend feature form DASH and makeing it a default on is a very logical choose. You can't have a real country currency when it is not instant transferable.

That InstantSend feature is why DASH has very good cards for global adaptions.

A major auto dealership in New Hampshire has begun to accept Dash for payments, has sold its first Dash car, and is running a Dash-exclusive promotion.

AutoFair in Merrimack, New Hampshire recently began accepting Dash payments, one of the first major retailers in the region to do so. The first vehicle sold for Dash, a 2012 Ford Fusion, was paid for up front entirely in Dash. The purchase was made in person via mobile wallet to the merchant’s tablet, which was running the Anypay cryptocurrency point-of-sale app. Additionally, the dealership is running a promotion through the Anypay system to provide “Dash-back” to the next four car purchases, giving an extra 5% of the purchase price to the merchant and 5% to the customer, for a total of 10% of the car’s value capped at $1,000. This initiative was funded by the Dash treasury and is intended to incentivize retail Dash purchases.

It certainly is good advertising for Dash, i agree.

Even our "duffs" (see Amount) got copy pasted, poor duffs

First other cryptoprojects copied Dash
Then a whole country copied Dash
Then the whole world ends up copying Dash

Hmm, on second thought i can live with that, lets make those duffs famous !!  

I wonder if he still feels sufficient incentive to return and keep working on this. I mean seriously, he is probably sitting on a huge load of money. Maybe hard to motivate yourself again then.

David Andolfatto, an economist with the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank hosted a Twitter Q&A where he answered affirmatively to a user’s question as to if cryptocurrencies could solve the 50-year old Triffin Dilemma.

The Triffin Dilemma refers to the problem where a currencies’ global reserve status causes a natural conflict between national and global monetary interests. Andolfatto went on to describe the difficulties of the Triffin Dilemma and how cryptocurrencies can help solve it.

ZebPay, one of India’s oldest and largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has shut down its operations from the Indian government’s indecisiveness on cryptocurrencies.

The Indian government has not made official laws with regards to trading cryptocurrencies, but back in April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India issued a notice to banks that prohibited them from dealing in cryptocurrencies. Thus, ZebPay’s blog post cited “[t]he curb on bank accounts has crippled our, and our customer’s, ability to transact business meaningfully” as reasons for them shutting down. The post added that “[a]t this point, we are unable to find a reasonable way to conduct the cryptocurrency exchange business”.

Are we ever going to hear from Evan again?

I am already in the new Dash Discord Channel, and I enjoy the freedom of talk there.

Dash Discord has been liberated.

I hope that the official Dashtalk.org forum will also be liberated soon from the harsh and non-voted rule of Tao.

Stop the cancer of censorship. Death is a form of censorship, and censorship is a form of death.



Spit the cancer of censorship and of spamming out of the dash forums.
Let's LIBERATE the users/readers of the dash forums, NOW!

Thank you very much for launching the DASH Talk Discord Server.
I waited for it for too long.
For now, I can join the channel and enjoy valuable real-time communication there from DASH team and others in the community.
It is much helpful for DASH community.

Note:
The server should state clearly about potential scammers who always try to fake the account names of admins/ mods, etc.
Users should pay their attention on user IDs at first and should not allow anyone connections to their wallets/ computers, even someone who has account names of devs/ admins/ mods, etc.

I guess I'm a neutral on this as I've never yet frequented the places where Tao is a moderator. I am a fan of the work the Dash Force guys do. For my part I hope it blows over smoothly which is what Tao seems to now be trying to do. In his own words, choice is good.

Banning trolls is one thing, but this seems to be a different scale. Perhaps in hindsight Tao's expansion into Dash Forums (and other places) is or was getting a tad monopolistic. So now there is a new channel. Maybe demo will find a voice there?

I have stated on here that I view Tao as a respected member of the community and I stand by that. I particularly remember his welcoming help when I was very new to Dash myself. Which I am still appreciative of.

However perhaps I prefer unmoderated environments afterall, which is why I hang out here?

Burying The Hatchet: Let's Move On For Dash

CoinCola, the Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange, will be entering Venezuela as a new market and will simultaneously integrate Dash.

The exchange features over-the-counter trades (OTC) and coin-to-coin trades and now Dash trades, but their Dash services will be limited to Venezuelans. The press release cited how Venezuelan hyperinflation is creating a shortage of basic food and amenities, which has created a demand for cryptocurrencies as a more stable option and as a way to get around capital controls. The press release also cited how Dash has surged recently in Venezuela making it one of the top cryptocurrency choices in the country.

In order to improve the Dash community’s cohesion and discourse experience, and to preserve its decentralization and freedom of speech, several prominent community moderators have created a new Discord chat server, Dash Talk. This server was created and fine-tuned privately, but is now open for use by the general public, and features a few improvements over previous iterations including:

Public Moderation Logs: All moderator actions are logged in a publicly viewable channel. This is to ensure maximum transparency and prevent abuses of authority, as well as keep a record in case of honest mistakes.

Moderation Consensus: No major moderation issue is engaged in unilaterally, but instead through a consensus of moderators. This is to prevent abuse and preserve decentralization of the community.

Moderator Coverage Hours: To avoid situations where moderators are unavailable during certain hours and disruptive members are able to deteriorate the community experience, explicit moderator coverage is listed so users know exactly who will be available to help. The eventual goal is to expand explicit coverage 24/7, but the community will be well-moderated in the meantime.

Streamlined Rule Set: Dash Talk has a simple, streamlined rule set rather than a long list of bureaucratic regulations that can harm user experience or police communication styles. In short, be respectful and not disruptive.

Additionally, the Dash Force 3 Amigos “Afterparty” following each week’s podcast will now take place in Dash Talk.

Feel free to invite anyone and everyone to join who you feel would benefit from free, open, friendly discourse about all things Dash by using this link, or going to StayDashy.com. See you there!

To check while Dash is running :

- check if your Windows wallet (monitor) has the same block as latest block on this block explorer : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/
- check if your Windows wallet has the same balance as this block explorer : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/  (fill in your Dash receive address and then press enter, if you have multiple Dash receive addresses then check them all)
- check if you have encrypted your wallet (i assume you did as you are talking about unlocking your wallet)

To check after Dash has been stopped by you :

- download your Windows wallet from official source again here : https://www.dash.org/wallets/ (make sure you download Dash Core Win/64 as a ZIP file)
- extract the dash-qt.exe located in the "bin" folder of that ZIP file and replace your older dash-qt.exe on your pc with this new one (use Winrar if necessary to extract)
- start wallet again and try a new transaction

If all above does not help then : contact the Dash Service Desk (https://support.dash.org/en/support/home) by creating a new support ticket there.
You can also create a new thread about your problem here : https://www.dash.org/forum/topic/daemon-and-qt-wallet-support.64/

Or you can follow this guide to force a wallet recovery, which hopefully also fixes your transaction problem : https://docs.dash.org/en/latest/wallets/recovery.html#dashcore-restore (just make sure you create a backup of your wallet first).
If you end up installing the whole blockchain from scratch for some reason, then be informed that Dash also has a bootstrap that helps with downloading the whole blockchain : https://github.com/UdjinM6/dash-bootstrap

Not using PrivateSend. I did try via coin control. Have tried with wallet locked & unlocked; made no difference.

Visa CEO, Alfred F. Kelly Jr, recently claimed that blockchains and cryptocurrencies will not be useful to the credit card company and Visa is already a great fintech accomplishment.

Kelly added during his speech at Boston College Executives’ Club in the United States that blockchains and cryptocurrencies were designed to handle low-volume and high-value transactions. Kelly then argued that Visa provides the exact opposite of these types of transactions and said that cryptocurrencies and blockchains are “an interesting technology…[but] t isn’t really at its core, for us, a good technology.” He also added that he believed that cryptocurrencies could never reach the level of transactions that Visa currently handles.

No, none of that is mandatory, we don't need to know who you are at all.
