Topic: [Dash] Dash prepares to release its Dash Evolution features on testnet (Read 147 times)

Q : Can we also create usernames on exchange wallets?
A : I think it will only work in the Dash environment, unless exchanges start supporting it in time. The ideal situation would be to one day have a Dash blockchain identify / username that can also be used to log in to
other non-Dash related sites. Kinda like how today you can login on certain websites through Facebook or Google or other accounts.

Q : Is this Dash's version of Ethereum's DEFI?
A : In a way Dash is indeed moving towards an Ethereum platform model, but there are some large differences here and i think Andy Freer (who worked on Dash Platform) explains this very well :



Dash Platform will work on a separate Platform Chain by the way (also known as a side chain)

This is going to be convenient and that's what most people want today. Stellar introduced a similar system before but payments are done thru emails if I am not mistaken. Can we also create usernames on exchange wallets?

Is this Dash's version of Ethereum's DEFI?

Maybe this will change your mind : https://www.cryptonewsz.com/dash-core-group-announces-a-comprehensive-strategy-to-improve-dashs-divergent-market-performance/54269/




This is just the start of some time consuming discussions on how to address Dash current (and rather high) annual inflation rate of 7.5% and improve Dash store of value.
I think we will be looking at either a protocol-driven Masternode Shares solution or a Deterministic Holders List solution as a way to introduce a form of staking to users without a need
to have 1000 Dash as collateral. Basically this means a part of the miners blockrewards (currently 45%) will be redirected towards a form of users staking.
 
In the mean time Dash will further roll out its Dash Platform and provide interested developers with the tools to start making their own Dapps and possibly store the output of those Dapps on the Dash blockchain.
This is a major and instrumental update for Dash and changes everything. Dash will have the ability to offer data-type contracts and through its DAPI (decentralized API) can integrate merchants much
faster and much more easy.      

As long as DASH doesn't move away from the single minded community behind it, there won't be any improvement that will take it to anything further. It is already one of the most liked coins considering there are thousands of other smaller coins behind it, it has a market place of 26th biggest coin and it will probably in top 20 one day and stay there unless some major problem occurs but that's about it, I doubt it can ever break into top 10 unless they move away from "the coin that you buy to make a masternode and profit in passive income" that is all people know it for, it is a good passive income thing.

If you own one DASH masternode all by yourself, it means you have a lot of money, it means you are in crypto for long term and you will make passive income, there is nothing new about this new version that will change that.

This is like more familiarizing that long address of dash to a simple username, like Paypal (e-mail). So no more long ares to keep it, just your user & good to go. Sooner or later after Dash doing this, i'm sure w'll see more Blockchains copying this feature because it make it more user friendly / trusted.

Dash Evolution will introduce blockchain usernames, where users can simply create an username for themselves that will be stored on the Dash blockchain and can then make payments to other
users by adding them to a friends list and sending payments to their usernames. The whole awkward dealing with long Dash public addresses will be over, it will just be interactions from one user
to another and their usernames can be used across Dash different platforms (Mobile Android / Ios apps / Windows / Linux / MAC / Internet).

This is great for people who have little technical background on crypto, they should get a similar experience as with making traditional payments through payment apps like Venmo.
DashPay (Dash first dApp) is largely inspired by Venmo and will also be introduced to the Dash community. Dash advantages with DashPay : decentralized, ease of use, low costs, instant payment confirmation,
instant re spendable, familiar look.

This is a time where Dash will slowly transform from just a (payment-focussed) cryptocurrency to a crypto platform, where developers and merchants can test and implement all kinds of decentralized services
for Dash and have their data output stored on the Dash blockchain. All the while maintaining a strong focus on payments and making Dash more accessible to mainstream users.

Hopefully more developers will create their own dApps, store their data on the Dash blockchain and thereby create more use cases for Dash.

How does this Dash Evolution helps common Dash users? When I say common, I mean those users who are not knowledgeable on the technical aspects.

Nice to see you post a Dash update again.

Was waiting for this from a long time and we may see some stronger support and investments coming with this announcement. The alt market has been hitting rocks with BTC fluctuations, Dash may start the upward trend here on. Averaging my buys. Thank you for the update.
