Hi

I'm new here, this is my first post!

I was interested in cryptocurrencies, but when I looked into it back in 2012, I came across some article that explained it on a semi-technical level.
I realized that bitcoin was too transparent. I didn't want others to see my transactions, so I dismissed it. I saw in 2013 on the news that if I got in, I could have made a lot of money. But I figured I was a bit late to the party so I still didn't invest.

When I met an old friend a few weeks ago, he told me he did buy BTC in 2012. Then I told him about my concerns (the fact that BTC isn't private). Then he told me maybe I would like DASH. So I checked the dash technology and I liked what I saw. Darksend can make my transactions private!
There was more: InstantX has very fast transactions, compared to bitcoin.

I now bought 20 DASH. I want to start small, but maybe I'll buy a full masternode in the future. I was just checking this thread and saw something about evolution in another topic:

May I ask if there is already more information about this?

I specifically want to know when will it go live?
Also, I wonder how you can have so much transactions per second? (the slide shows 500-1500) I read that bitcoin is limited to 7 transactions per second.
My last question for now is that I don't really understand how InstantX works. I mean... with bitcoin you have your transactions included in a block. I liked that part of the bitcoin technology when I checked it in 2012. Once a ransaction is included, it is considered "safe". How does InstantX work?

Anyway, I hope to get in early now, because I feel that DASH could maybe become big, certainly if "Evolution" becomes the new reality.

Hi cryptonewb, welcome to our forum.

There is no ETA known yet and the details are also unknown.

The latest was from Evan and can be read here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12638189#msg12638189  

I either read or heard somewhere that v13 (codename Evolution) is planned to be released in 3 versions (v1, v2, v3) and that only the last version will have the full scalability implemented.
Evan has mentioned he will bring out video's to prepare us for Evolution (i remember hearing him say that 10 video's will come out to deal with it all in detail)

Also what stan.distortion already mentioned in the previous page, its a good idea to watch the introduction video's on page 1
