over 35000 dash bought in massive buys in the last 2 hrs....hmmm looks like $15 is coming
Shocked Shocked Shocked   On poloniex or bitfinex or btc-e? There are so many major exchanges.

poloniex!

Nice, I will keep my 800 Dash for long term.   Cheesy Cheesy   Maybe 10X who knows. Dash will pump like in 2014.  Grin
If it were me, I'd buy 200 more Dash and start my own masternode. I think of masternodes as financial life rafts for the future. The price of a masternode is about $13k, and is starting to exceed the price of a good used car. The days of affordable masternodes may be drawing to a close. That's OK because masternode shares are available. It's just safer in the long run to manage your own.

Hello Price Speculators.  Please use the Dash Price Speculation Thread, in the Price Speculation Sub, and keep this thread available for technical discussion.

Speaking of technical discussion, Dash's privacy scheme is being (unfavorably) compared to Cryptonote.

The discussion is being held on Monero's StackExchange, because Dash by a wide margin failed to qualify for StackExchange.

Quote from: Alexde
PrivateSend does have a potentially serious flaw.

Each coinjoin requires a server to facilitate the mixing. This requires users to trust that the server is not recording details on where each user's outputs are ending up. Dash attempts to mitigate this risk by using what they call "masternodes". Masternodes are the servers which coordinate PrivateSend. These masternodes require a deposit of 1000 Dash to run. In theory, this collateral prevents someone from creating an arbitrary number of nodes for the purpose of recording coinjoin details.

Does this really mitigate the risk of coinjoin details being recorded, enabling transactions to be traced? Not reliably. The reality is that the majority of masternodes are hosted by a small number of VPS providers. These VPS providers could easily record the transactions being facilitated by any masternode that they host.

Please respond here or on SE if you have any substantive input to make on this important issue (price comparison/speculation does not count).
