People here really don't get it crypto-currency one bit.
Crypto-currency are about being useful as a currency, what makes a currency useful ?
High fee's, slow transaction times, hard to use and impossible to remember public-keys ?

I don't think so, people that are in real need of a functioning crypto are chosing for Dash,
KuvaCash, ALT36, the people in Venezuela to name a few are moving towards Dash, because you know it gives them the functionally they require.

The project started long before that. The started before ico platforms where a thing, the ERC20 token option just gave them away for proper funding.
I think you miss read my post, I already sold my EDG (with a profit)

I really like the idea of EDG, and I still do. I much more the profit model any day of the week over that of Funfair.
That being said They are not delivering, with 2weeks left still no updates on licences and the amount of bugs in just a single game is really high.
Personally I don't think the team can get the job done.  I am looking for an EDG clone that can deliver. If anybody can point me to it I do appreciate it.
If I was wrong please enjoy my cheap coins

PTOY, has said they already ran a pilot, is there any I try out the pilot software myself ?

Where is the rest off the 1000 dash going to ?

Actually there is, you should take a good look at DASH and DASH evoultion roadmap, it's planning to go up to 400mb block per 2,5minutes.

How come this project has such high marketcap ? Seems to me that only on dev can not compete with, the Golum team or SONM team.
What am I missing ? thx in advance

Some nice  FUD aka Slandering of DASH is going on again.

Great you post a pro Monero bias article in favor of Monero that incorrectly states facts about other coins than Monero.
My info are facts, about all the coins. You can choose to believe what you want, but I take a trust-less coin any day of the week over need to trust code and devs.


How can you say not true ? I provided you with an actually proof, the proof  is from the Monero team them-self. If you can't see it for what is, I don't know what will.

BTC dev's ? which ones ? the ones that are from blockstream ? sure they seem to have the best interest in bitcoin  at heart or crypto in general. Or maybe you talk about the guy that actually invented coinjoin, lol he is calling is own invention snake-oil  ?!?, sounds legit.  

At any rate DASH it's privacy has never been broken, the same can not be said about Monero's (older) version's all the while claiming that it was superior to DASH, and trolling and FUDDING at full speed. Honestly for me that is quit telling.
An Empirical Analysis of Linkability in the Monero Blockchain:
http://monerolink.com/monerolink.pdf

https://steemit.com/cryptonote/@macrochip/warning-every-cryptonote-monero-transaction-in-history-will-be-retroactively-exposed (writen by a pro-dasher )

Simpley switching to another crypto-currency is easier said than done, for starters the company or person your transacting with needs to accept that same currency as well.

That being say, if one would move towards DASH you'll get the following benifits
DASH
- easy to use private functions
- instant private sent (if you pre-mixed)
- Allot cheaper than bitcoin, and most privacy coins ( transaction costs will be 10x cheaper in the near future)
- An improved decentralized coinjoin, giving added privacy. Coinjoin has been tried and true for many years now, unlike other privacy technics

Do allot of positive things can be said about the competion:

Monero
- 26x blockchain bloat +high transaction fee's for that reason
- Wallet not that easy to use
- Most importantly off all, coins (could) be printed out of thin air without you know it, has been possible before !
https://getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html

Zcash
- They admitted in using a trusted setup, this means you have to trust that they have trown away the key's when they setup the coin, if not all transaction can be made transparant, and unlimited hidden printing
 

I think your talking about segwit and all the features it will bring ? segwit itself will not deliver any of these feature, future development will have to take place and than you will have to trust 3th party's to provide you with those services. For optimal use the company's and or people your doing transactions with most likely will have to trust the same or other 3th party's as well ( I for one am not going to be one of them), aka it's only a solution if wish to offer up the decentralized trust-less part of using bitcoin. Also it will take quite some time for any of this will be setup, and even than it's not sure if everything will pan out.

That being said the segwit2x is good for business, at least the 2mb part (as I personally only accept non-segwit transaction, because I want my transactions to be fully registered on the blockchain).

Thanks TanteStefana2,

I agree with you on that on, the witness data is an important part of bitcoin.
This video explains it very well:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO176mdSTG0&t=01 Peter Rizun

I understand allot of technics have both negative and positives, and allot of them that get immense praise (including segwit), break the most fundamental rule of remaining a trust-less network.
None the less, there are some idea's that do not take away from that at all.  Thin-blocks properly implemented is one of them

I am aware of dash it's recent (evolution) roadmap update, and it's plan to do on-chain scaling and I am all for that, but there are also technics such as thin-blocks, that seem to have no down-side for on-chain scaling.
There are multiple good idea's/technics that add benifits to a crypto that wishes to have a fully transparent blockchain. Yet I never really hear the dash team say, anything about it, I would have expected to hear things like: "We know that thin blocks work great for bitcoin, and because they here are only upsides we will implement it, or something like that". It sometimes seems to me like the DASH core team is only busy with there own vision, and do not take the input of other great idea's even do they are available in open-source code. I know the dash team is very busy and is keeping the white-paper of dash evolution internal for the time being.

My question is simple is DASH keeping it's ear to the ground, and picking up these low-hangfruits, or do they (currently) have their blinders on focusing on evolution?

Dash has suffer allot of damage thanks trolling and the stick they swing with is instamine issue which in fact is  already a thing of the past , all  the while that a great many coins have had or still have issues  and they are getting a free pass in comparison to dash ! For instance even bitcoin own creator still has 1milion bitcoin in one bitcoin address.
Dash in fact has one of the best distrubitions out there:
https://bitinfocharts.com/

PIVX has been brought up many times now, and is directly compared to dash in a marketing fashion, which i believe makes PIVX look very dishonest.
So I want to make up a own comparison for:
To sum it up:
-DASH is only a 10% instamine of the totall coin supply  vs 100% fastmine with masternodes earning straight from the start with PIVX
- PIVX had only a mining periode of 181 day's, 70% minined out in less than 100 days
- PIVx two anonymous creators did burn their pre-mine of 6 masternodes, but kept the rewards (anyways it worked out well from a markting perspective, my compliments )
- PIVX masternodes earned straight from the start, the rewards where so large that early holders, never had to sell their mn
- PIVX hash-rate has been very low during the POW mining fase, aka few people where mining it
- PIVX its coin distribution especially during and just after the POW fase was very concentrated, still close to 250 addresses held during this quick rise in marketcap (the smart owners either sold off allot or at the very least divided their holdings of multiple addresses
http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/richlist.php?count=250

Very little info to clear up the 100% fastmine of PIVX but plenty of good information on DASH it's 10% instamine:

Thanks, I overlooked the fact that, the data is displayed per date, instead keep track as one long list.
Is there any easy way to check how much they lost or made on those trades ? What investment strategy did they use ? I at the very least does not seem to be strategy based on fundamentals of the coins they investing just by looking at what kind of coins they invested in.

As the Taas team even started active(daytrading/swing/trend etc) trading ?

Good point, but in time I would expect this to run on a side-chain like the lighting network, or simply move the whole project to the stratis or lisk blockchain where it can run on its very own sidechain.

It's still does not answer my question, its just allot of opinions. I don't mean any disrespect here, and I am not troll, I believe right now is the best choice in crypto for daily use as a crypto. Once Evolution will come out it it can be just that first time premium for mainstream adoption and we should get as many people on board with that as possible.

Personally I a have little bit of education and experience with marketing(perhaps allot more than most looking the reply's), and one thing that sticks out from my point of view, with marketing of financial products is the goal is to make it very generic in good way, to speak to as broad amount of people as possible. Seeing Dash is a decentralized currency, which aims to by every one, this should the main goal as well.

How ever this video's exactly the opposite of that, it very off putting, and their is no need to pull in negative attention to dash.

But most importantly of all the video is on " Dash - Digital Cash"  and this is sort of DASH it's official YouTube channel. Put it on a fan made link and I would have been find with it.


That in fact made it that much worst, well at-least for does that disliked 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY11UJEeDuI

Jupp that decent video, nothing wrong with this one, very few people will be off put by it (other than trolls).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVzggP7k3fo

Totally disagree, this marketing gone bad, looking from all the down votes many people agree.
This video should also not have been posted on Dash digital as well.
The music is just terrible and it sticks in my mind to (yes music is quite personal, but is way to far of base)

If I am missing something here please tell.  Otherwise please take it down

You did close to 1400 posts  maybe you should do some time reading as well ? and maybe come back with some proper feedback, non- of my claims here as have been refuted.
