A quick headsup with regards to update progress v0.14

Masternodes

Goal is for v0.14.0.1 to reach at least 50% and for v0.14.0.+v0.14.0.1 to reach at least 80%, after which the DKG spork can be activated.

Quote

DKG Spork Activation Criteria
Once at least 50% of masternode owners have updated to Dash Core v0.14.0.1 and 80% of masternode owners have updated to at least the Dash Core v0.14.0.0 version,
we plan to activate the DKG spork. At that time, LLMQs will begin forming and PoSe scoring will occur.

Miners

Goal is to get miners to signal support for v0.14 blocks and get that support to 80%, after which DIP8 gets locked-in. That support in the form of a stable 80% did not materialize in the first window of 4032 blocks,
so we now entered the second window of 4032 blocks / 7 days. Lets see if miners can get support to a stable 80% in this second window of 4032 blocks (which will end with block 1,084,608).

The one-week chart of DASH in BTC pair discloses that the coin has strong support in that pair at current price. DASH/BTC chart is here. It is cleary to see that the coin has been in bottom, and might bounce back when it officially wake up from its double bottoms. When it happens, the coming point of DASH should be 0.032 BTC. In another pair, DASH/USD, the coin has moved up well, and next price range if DASH remains moving up in coming months might be around $250. It means if bitcoin remains its price stable and DASH rises in btc pair to nearly 0.032 BTC, the price of DASH might hit the range from $250 to $260. Why not?

There is a saying from Baron Rothschild, an 18th century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family who issued the now famous sentence : "The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."
Most people are familiar with it, but very few people dare to actually act on it.

Dash Core v0.14.0.1 Release

A community member (thank you, demo, for calling this to our attention) recently identified an issue with the current Dash Core v0.14 version that could have impacted
governance votes after the activation of DKG (Distributed Key Generation) and PoSe (Proof of Service). Basically, an attack vector was found wherein votes could be removed by
performing a DoS attack on nodes. Please note that the current voting cycle is not susceptible to this issue since the DKG spork has not yet been activated.

The team has released a new version to address this issue. We ask all network operators to please update to Dash Core v0.14.0.1 as soon as possible. While this upgrade is not
mandatory for non-masternode owners, it is still recommended as nodes might otherwise observe local discrepancies in governance vote outcomes.

I dont do this often to people wearing the name "demo" (a certain multi-useraccount by the name of demo1 to demo17 has a bit of a history on dash.org/forum), but in this case he deserves it :

The Voyager integration will enable trading of Dash against the USD, as well as commission free. In the announcement, Voyager discusses the many physical and online locations that accept Dash
as payments due to its lightning fast speeds and super low transaction costs.

Voyager currently offers retail and institutional trading, but is planning to enhance its institutional trading features with a partnership with Sterling Trading Tech. Voyager also recently announced a partnership
with Ledger, the hardware wallet company, to launch a custodial service.

Good to have them aboard, specially with their institutional trading connections

Neptune Dash Announces Intent To Launch Cosmos Validator and Corporate Update

Quote

"We see substantial revenue opportunity through the setting up of a Cosmos Validator and the acquisition of Atoms within our wholly owned entity, Neptune Stake. This is exciting as it
enables us to earn roughly 15% rewards on unutilized Dash crypto assets, as well as a portion of the transaction fees and block rewards on the Cosmos network, stated Cale Moodie,
Neptune Dash CEO. This is in line with our objective of rapidly growing our Cryptocurrency assets while maintaining existing Dash Masternodes and the associated underlying asset base, all with
the transparency and security protocols of a public entity."

I read news some months ago, maybe in the early weeks of 2019, that DASH and Litecoin have partnered (I could be wrong), and been on the race to increase better private transactions.

I have heard nothing about a possible partnership and frankly it would surprise me as Dash and Litecoin are (to a degree) competing crypto projects with regards to payments.
What i could see happening is that Litecoin at some point introduce a form of privacy on their blockchain, but that could take awhile as from a development
point of view Litecoin became rather stagnant (not much happening code-wise and no major changes after Lightning Network got implemented on their blockchain awhile back).

Here is a link i found, which shows that they have an interest in the Confidential Transactions tech (which could possibly change their blockchain from an open blockchain like Dash & Bitcoin to a closed blockchain
like Monero and Zcash, depending on what kind of implementation they want) : https://cryptobriefing.com/litecoin-become-privacy-coin/

Also it will be interesting to see if more people get drawn to privacy-centric (only focussed on privacy) cryptocurrencies or if they discover Dash which optionally provide this for them on a decentralized level.
Or will new (centralized or decentralized) Mixer Services emerge and take-over ?

You are actually a precious asset of DASH community, whom have made loads of meaningful things for the community and the project, including this topic). I agreed with you on the perspective that DASH provides good feature to optional personalized DASH transactions, so DASH users can use such option for their own interests with each or every transactions they broadcast on DASH network. I read news some months ago, maybe in the early weeks of 2019, that DASH and Litecoin have partnered (I could be wrong), and been on the race to increase better private transactions.

With the latest wave of shutdowns on Mixer services, from Best Mixer (already seized), to Bit Blender (is shutting down after official announcement from their team), I am curious on the way DASH can take advantage of it and become bigger as one of the best altcoins. I meant the coming improvements on DASH Private Send and deals with harsh managenements from governments globally. I don't think all people whom want to have anonymous transactions are all criminals.

At the one side you have people's right on privacy both on internet and on their financial transactions, which i think is regnoniced and acknowledged by most countries and which has become a hot topic lately
due to huge customer data leakages by major tech companies, creditcard companies and by government institutions themself due to weak security.
On the other side you have governments that want to prioritize fighting illegal money streams or simply seek more control or insight.
Those two sides have been clashing with each other for a long time and this clashing will not end anytime soon.

With cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and even Bitcoin actively researching their options to include some form of privacy on their specific blockchain, it will be interesting to see how this clash further develops.

Edit : https://www.coindesk.com/jpmorgan-adds-new-privacy-features-to-its-ethereum-based-quorum-blockchain Grin

Quote

JPMorgan Chase’s blockchain team has developed a privacy feature for ethereum-based blockchains, obscuring not only how much money is being sent but who is sending it.

Quote

Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, JPMorgan has built an extension to the Zether protocol, a fully decentralized, cryptographic protocol for confidential payments, compatible with ethereum and other smart contract platforms
and designed to add a further layer of anonymity to transactions. The New York-based financial institution will open-source the extension Tuesday, and is likely to use it with Quorum, the bank’s homegrown, private version of ethereum.

Also it will be interesting to see if more people get drawn to privacy-centric (only focussed on privacy) cryptocurrencies or if they discover Dash which optionally provide this for them on a decentralized level.
Or will new (centralized or decentralized) Mixer Services emerge and take-over ?

Time will tell.

Miners signal sufficient support for v0.14.0 on the hourly graph today, making it more likely that DIP8 can be locked-in
at the end of the current 4032 block / 7 days window (which will be ending with block 1,080,576).

Number of blocks to go before possible DIP8 lock-in : 3,028

Note : hourly graph still subject to strong fluctuations, but things should clear up in a few days

Masternodes should have sufficient support for v0.14.0 by the time DIP8 activates to enable Dash to also activate some v0.14.0
related sporks. Masternodes are currently at 75,8% and still have time to upgrade as another 4032 block / 7 days window
comes into play after DIP8 gets locked-in.

Dash Trading Volume 24H on the rise : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (24H Volume)

The volume rise seems to be connected to exchange B2BX (registered in Estonia), where Dash currently leads over Bitcoin and Litecoin : https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/b2bx/

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/#markets

Note : there will be some wash trading going on in general (not necessarily on B2BX), which will artificially inflate trading volumes. Dash will not be an exception to this as this happens on
many exchanges with many cryptocurrencies. But the general trend on the Dash trading volume is definetely moving upwards.

In order to prevent any kind of FUDs and shitshows from trollers, I suggest people whom joined the topic and have intention to leave replies to notice on topic title; and avoid quoting trolling posts with rewritten topic title. The official topic title is:

Quote

DASH : News, Information and Discussion

So, if whenever you see a post inside the thread with different title, please ignore such posts or you can move further by ignoring authors of such posts.
There is another way by editing incorrect topic title to correct one, but I don't think you should spend time to do it. Simply ignore trolling posts is better.

Dash update v0.14.0 has entered its first 7 days window / 4032-block window to get miners to signal for v0.14.0
Which means we now have 7 days for miners to reach 80% and lock-in DIP8.

Quote

The next 4032-block window will begin sometime this coming weekend, at block 1,076,544.

Current block : 1,076,681

Then another 7 days / 4032 blocks to activate DIP8.
After that ChainLocks will get enforced.
