Dash Transactions on the rise again : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.html (Block/Trx Info)
I've been hearing about another platform similar to Dash called Elixxir but with its own unique consensus mechanism. Anyone else think they might be a strong competitor?
https://elixxir.io/
https://elixxir.io/
I'm not sure i totally understand Elixxir yet, i have read up on it here : https://cryptocalibur.com/elixxir-ico-review/ but the whole "single honest node protects team consensus" seems a bit strange. I guess we just need to wait and see if this will work as promised.
There are however huge differences with Dash :
* Elixxir seem to be lacking a clear governance system (with Dash the masternodes vote over budget proposals and can poll the network on direction, not so with Elixxir and its nodes) and a clear budget system (with Dash 10% of each blockreward goes to a decentralized budget,
while Elixxir just seems to be getting launched as an ICO)
* Elixxir just needs 1 honest node to protect its network, Dash philosophy is that a majority of honest miners / masternodes will protect the network
* Elixxir so far i can tell has no compatability with Bitcoin, they will need to build and integrate from scratch and are at the moment in Alpha state, Dash has Bitcoin compatability to a degree which makes integration far more easy and Dash has a working product for 5 years already giving it a major headstart
* Elixxir seems focussed only on the payment industry, while Dash focusses also on additional services on its tiered network like decentralized datatype apps (Dapps), a decentralized API (DAPI) and making sure its software will be user friendly by using blockchain useraccounts and friend lists
* Elixxir seems super secretive at this moment and its unclear how much of its technology will be open-sourced, Dash has its current crypto project already opensourced and plans the same for future updates
If Elixxir turns out to be needing a launch as an ICO, i think they will have a hard time raising funds now that all the ICO hype has faded and investors in current market conditions will be extremely carefull what to invest in.

With cryptocurrency it is difficult to get specific sales numbers with regards to online goods or services because transactions dont classify themself like that on the blockchain.
What i can show you are two seperate sets of statistics, one about merchant adoption and one about number of transactions & payments :

Thank you for your kind words, and i will do my best to keep you all informed about latest developments and / or latest information about Dash.

DASH provides the users with high security as it has over 4500 servers which are hosted all over the world, that enables you to conduct the transaction instantly, from anywhere around the world. This feature gave DASH an edge over other cryptocurrencies. The launch of DASH evolution has made a huge difference, which is a mobile app designed to be user-friendly and has a scalable digital currency platform perfectly suitable for mass adoption. This will allow any user to set up an account on the blockchain, then eventually add contacts and pay them by name, even make one-click purchases through websites or mobile apps.
Dash Evolution has not been launched yet, its scheduled for later this year.
Two Dash versions will provide a base for Dash Evolution : Dash Core v0.13 (already on mainnet, a few sporks are waiting to get activated in early april) & Dash Core v0.14 (currently on testnet)
Once these two Dash versions are completely operational on mainnet, Dash Core v1.0 (Dash Evolution) can be launched, which will have :
Username based payments
Decentralized API (DAPI)
Decentralized Storage (Drive)
Development libraries and SDKs
Also a new wallet should be released simultaneously or shortly after Dash Core v1.0 release, called the DashPay Wallet MVP, which will provide Dash Evolution support on both Android phones and the Iphone.
The already existing wallets should also get an update by then.

You provide a very detailed explanation and how DASH develops thoroughly, I really need information like this, and I'm getting interested. I haven't seen or I'm left behind by news about online goods sales with Dash? please give me information about that.

Unfortunetely we can not directly connect these two sets of statistics because either the information linking both statistics sets (Merchant Adoption Info & Transaction and Payment Info) does not exist yet or i have not come across it yet.
This goes for all cryptocurrencies, not just Dash. Just try googling "online goods sales with Bitcoin" and you get hit with the same problem.

WinstantPay will be harnessing the power of Dash InstantSend to instantly lock-in transactions in under two seconds at a fiat exchange rate at the time of the transaction.
This amount will then be exchanged by WinstantPay and deposited into the merchants’ linked bank account for around a 1% transaction and conversion fee. This helps solve the
key barrier to adoption that many merchants are afraid to get into cryptocurrencies because of the exchange rate risk, as highlighted by Rob Grantham,
Chief Executive Officer of WinstantPay.

Possible U.S. Sanctions on Visa and Mastercard in Venezuela Highlight Need for Decentralized Money

The United States government is considering the option to put sanctions on Visa, Mastercard, and other financial institutions to curtail the power of the Maduro regime.
The intended goal of the potential policy is “to deprive the illegitimate Maduro regime of access to funds and deny their ability to continue stealing from the Venezuelan people”.
This would add to the previous sanctions on state-owned oil company PDVS that were instituted after the U.S. and other countries recognized the opposition leader, Juan Guaido,
as the country’s interim president.

This is just the latest desire by U.S. officials to curtail other individuals’ actions by leveraging the financial system oligopoly. The most famous previous example was when the U.S. government
cutout Wikileaks from the financial system by sending a letter, which some considered blackmail, to different payment processors that made it was a “straightforward” decision. This action ultimately led
Wikileaks to use cryptocurrencies. These financial blockades usually end up hurting average individuals since wealthy individuals usually have the means to evade the common financial transaction methods,
such as physically delivering payments. Even though the U.S. wants to spare the average Venezuelan, they will mostly feel the affects as many state-owned and connected businesses that still provide a minor
amount of liquidity would now be disconnected from the world. Thus, average Venezuelans have a high probability of being hurt the most as they will have an even harder time purchasing vital goods and services.
Cryptocurrencies provide an alternative for these individuals escaping the intentional and unintentional effects of governments no matter how good the policies’ initial intentions.

Dash has been working hard to get significant direct merchant adoption to empower individuals by no longer needing to rely on the banking system that can be controlled by foreign powers with alternative interests.

Dash Text has rolled out a new charity system which promises to be the world’s first distributed charity model.
The SMS-based Dash wallet service debuted the pilot of its charity service this week, offering an automated and distributed form of processing charitable donations.
A donor can send Dash to the specified donation address, which is then instantly and evenly distributed among the pool of end recipients. The recipients have Dash Text wallets,
meaning that they are able to send an receive via SMS message without an internet connection, and receive donations quickly and directly without having to wait or trust a
nonprofit worker to take the requisite action.
