Dash Bug Bounty Program by BugCrowd Proposal Update


As a successful open source digital currency project Dash has the responsibility to be very secure.  While perfection is impossible trying very hard is important.  There are a number of high profile “bugs” that have impacted investors in crypto – from the “August 2010 – Bitcoin protocol hack, 184 billion Bitcoins created” to “smart contract” bugs in ETH that involved many millions of dollars.

One very useful proposal funded by the Dash Treasury is a contract with Bugcrowd to point their “researchers” at Dash for the next year.  This program funds a large crowd of white hat hackers to review the Dash codebase for any bugs. You can visit the bugcrowd website and get involved.

Thanks for sharing tungfa, a good way to recap on what took place during the Dash conference and, like myself, a chance to see the talks and what was presented.  Cool

What's this Icey?  Poacher turned gamekeeper?  Cheesy

yeah, he seems a bit upset... i just hope its not about something i said Undecided

Also to those interested : i decided to lock my Dash price and discussion thread in the speculation section of the bitcointalk forum indefinetely,
as Dash channels exist now that do the job far better (Slack / Reddit).

So in a way i give the torch over to those channels, keep that torch burning guys  Grin

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
[low quality, zero information price speculation]

This thread is for discussions related to the Dash protocol, network, community, Instamine, ATM/debit card fiascos, Howey-test triggering centralization, Evan's secret transaction-reversing "spork" backdoor, InstandSend failure/coverup, etc. but it is explicitly *not* for worthless, generic Price Update and Moon/Doom posts that would get you Banhammered from the Polo trollbox.

Per the mods,

Quote from: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
Altcoin Discussion - "Discussion of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. Note that discussion of how these currencies *relate to* Bitcoin may fit in other categories. ". Generic coin discussion threads or discussion about altcoin prices do not belong here.

Quote from: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
Speculation (Altcoins) - Discussion about altcoin prices. This includes discussion about portfolios ("what altcoins are you holding?"), price predictions ("is coin X going to reach 10$ next week?" or "why is this coin's price so low?") and general speculation ("are the altcoin markets crashing?").

Please post about price speculation in an appropriate Speculation (Altcoins) sub-forum.

There are already at least two threads about Dash there, and you may make another if neither of these is to your liking.

[DASH] Dash Price and Trade Discussion Thread [UNMODERATED] - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dash-dash-price-and-trade-discussion-thread-unmoderated-1736249

Thank you for respecting the community and mods by helping keep [ANN] threads free from the annoying clutter of incessant price chatter and TA charts. Cool

Looks like the Dash price is about to make a new longterm uptrend at last, specially when you compare it with previous longterm downtrends and uptrends :

Next couple of weeks should be very interesting...

 Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I've already asked you to keep price speculation in the proper sub.

Do you understand that this [ANN] thread and the wider Announcement sub are *NOT* for price speculation and troll box chatter?


Looks like Dash has started its price recovery mode  Grin

1 Dash is currently :

$307
0.05540

Just STFU about what the price is RIGHT MEOW.  Your idiotic opinion and pumping belong in the Price Speculation sub, OK?

If you don't stop spamming the thread with off-topic price update/speculation you may be reported to the mods.

Last warning.

Despite Setbacks, Dash Morocco Team Pushes on With Dash Education in Arabic

Dash has funded a promotional team in Morocco to educate the Arabic-speaking world, which will continue on despite an early setback.

The Dash Morocco team, run by members Ilyass and Osama, was created with treasury funding to spread awareness and adoption of Dash in the Arabic world, starting with Morocco. This is to be achieved through hosting meetups and swag giveaways, as well as creating an Arabic-language video series similar to Dash School created by Amanda B. Johnson. According to Ilyass, Arabic countries have a high interest in cryptocurrencies, though most remain only aware of Bitcoin:

BitCart to Limit Orders Amid Overwhelming Demand


BitCart has decided to limit the amount of orders it takes on in an effort to improve its service.

The online service allows users to purchase Amazon.com gift cards with Dash at a 15% discount, providing a solution for Dash users to use their funds for a wide variety of purchases. BitCart’s service, however, has experienced issues recently, with delays fulfilling orders and difficulties establishing solid communication channels. Customer complaints built up on private channels and eventually spilled over publicly to forums like Reddit:

Craig Wright: Dash and Bitcoin Cash Compete for the Same Vision


Craig Wright indicated a friendly competition between Dash and Bitcoin Cash as both seek to replace Bitcoin’s vacant throne as king of digital cash payments.

In a debate on Twitter over scaling Bitcoin for fast and cheap everyday commerce transactions, Wright, the chief scientist at nChain, maintained the need for instant and cheap transactions in order for it to be useful for point-of-sale transactions:

The method for this result preferred by Wright was reliable zero-confirmation transactions, which may not settle on the blockchain immediately, but still are reliable to be trusted when broadcast for smaller amounts. Dash can be used in this manner as well, except has an added benefit of the InstantSend functionality, which uses masternodes to lock in a transaction until it has been confirmed by miners, ensuring that the transaction will definitely settle.

Bitcoin, Dash Can Now Be Spent at 40 Million Stores Worldwide, Thanks to Wirex Debit Card
 Attempts to integrate Dash
While many digital currencies focus on more arcane areas such as smart contracts, tokenization, or the like, the digital currency Dash has always focused on payments. The name Dash is itself a portmanteau of the words “digital cash.” Founded by Evan Duffield in 2014, Dash aims to promote faster transactions with its InstantSend technology.

Quote from: Stealth923 on October 05, 2017
So, here we are in October with silence from the Core team. The roadmap was only just updated with dates, which I was holding the team to and thought to be accurate...why is communication and holding to a timeline so difficult for the core team? I am not just talking about this instance, I have been around since 2014.....

Anyone have any updates to where each of the deliverable's below are, there was no information from the conference about any of the below?? did I miss some delay communication?? Should I just reset my expectations that this will be delivered sometime 2018?

Edit: And before people start with the "I would rather have it done properly and wait longer" message, we are paying the Core team to run a multi billion dollar organisation...if you release dates stick to them or communicate accordingly with your board(MNs)/investors.


Quote from: GrandMasterDash
I am okay with delays but I am not okay with the lack of updates / feedback. I get the whole secrecy / first-mover-advantage thing, but the prolonged absence of news is very disconcerting. In fact, I was thinking, maybe we should designate a day in October where we de-fund Core for 24 hours, just to send them a message.


Quote from: Stealth923
I agree with @GrandMasterDash - a classic example, the wording of the conference was "major integrations announcements"....there wasn't a single announcement, rather vague and ambiguous talk for literally 15 seconds about whats in the pipeline which is signed, but could finish implementation in 6+ months time/be cancelled for all we know. I get the lack of hype, but there needs to be a happy medium rather than just silence and acting like you work for the CIA....

I really hope that a communication coordinator is hired and or Ogilvy sorts their shit out with brand communication, messaging and learning how to professionally SET EXPECTATIONS, because after 3 years it hasnt gotten any better, despite multiple promises from @Ryan Taylor and team. Learn to under promise and over deliver, not the other way around.

Based on this delay as @UdjinM6 has stated, has this also delayed the remainder of the roadmap?Huh because if so, I am going to write off Evolution V1 until 2020+ in which we will most likely be surpassed by another competitor.


Tell us something whe didn't know yet.

Nothing can go up forever. Dash is having a healthy correction. Not worried at all.

Dash still has some great tech. Fast and cheap transactions is what I care about. Paypal 2 not so much. More people taking Dash as payment is great

A common lament in the Dash community is that, compared to some other cryptocurrency communities, it appears to be underrepresented in many online outlets such as Reddit and the Bitcointalk forums. For example, recently there was what appeared to be a coordinated effort in the /r/cryptocurrency subreddit to attack Dash, which garnered many updates and anti-Dash comments. The number of anti-Dash folks (mostly Monero supporters) appeared to far outnumber the Dash supporters. Further, Twitter polls asking for a vote on which cryptocurrency to support next usually show Dash significantly outvoted by other cryptos.

Trolls are an essential part of a healthy community.

They stimulate properly informative argument because : Either the replies are usually very cogent and well reasoned, or the Trolls are correct.

Either way, the truth is brought to the surface.

Fanboy threads and communities provide no useful truths.

It is important to remember that Trolls are by definition, all talk. The people getting on with the actual work are often too busy to engage regularly in online arguments.
