Looking into a possible bullish scenario into Dash I found a possible Cup and Handle that could drive the price to roughly $120 per coin.

Hi all,

I've been playing with crypto since 2012, having mined BTC back in the day on graphics cards (& how I wish I kept more) and have been using Dash in one for or another since 2015. In the spirit of "What's old is new again" I decided to try my hand at running a DASH node once I could afford the 1k DASH.

I decided to run it on an old laptop I have. That kept getting POSE_BANNED. Okay, fine, it's a Macbook Pro running T2 Linux, only has as much redundancy as I can provide at my house, etc. So I decided I would re-do it, using a VPS as was recommended in the original guide.

I'm now running a VPS - in Vultr - and I followed the instructions to the letter on how to set it up. It's got enough disk space, RAM, etc. It was running fine for about a month. Now that one is POSE_BANNED. The problem is that:

- you get don't get any notice in any fashion
- you don't know why it's POSE_BANNED
- setting up a node is really complicated (& I've also been in computers for 40+ years and playing with Linux since 1998 at least)
- trying to fix a POSE_BANNED node - when you don't know why it happened in the first place - is quite tedious

It's apparently not just me, either; the Dash client lists 16 nodes without scrolling and 5 of those - just out of the first 16 - are POSE_BANNED.

I appreciate that we don't want unhealthy nodes on the network - we want the network to be robust, resilient, and efficient. However, the "user experience" for starting and running a node needs a lot of work in my opinion. As much as I want to contribute, I don't have as much time as I might like to be re-doing my node every month - nor should I have to do that. Given the price of DASH - and the value of my time - it's actually likely MORE cost efficient for me to just buy 1 DASH every five days rather than contribute to the network. The incentives are skewed in that sense - and not only do I think that shouldn't be the case, I don't want it to be, as I want DASH to succeed.

Thoughts? How can I figure out what is going on and how to correct it?

Thanks.

Merry Christmas

I am just wondering when the Wallet on the iPhone will be upgraded so one can apply for names.
I see it is out on Android already.
Is there a link where I can learn more about the naming system and how it works,

Can't wait to see where we go, but I like it over LTC. The developers are working hard and this project isn't just being put to the side. BTC as a project failed. P2P electronic cash sounds more like Dash to me.

I'm trying to figure in Dash right now. For example, BTC is obviously something to have as a way to keep a steady line and even assured long term gain. If you don't mind risk play around with some shit coins and take your short term gains from the dip buys etc but question is, where does that put Dash? In my opinion (which is as much shit as anyone else's) Dash obviously rides the BTC rails which makes it another solid option for guaranteed long term gain. It's not one you can dump a grand in and expect to double your money in a day, ever. It is one that you should put what you can afford (not have to take back out again cuz you can't budget between paychecks for shit) 10-20-30 bucks a week into and be assured long term gain but what makes it even nicer is you'll get some nice spikes here and there for profit taking. This is a rant and I'm just getting into this stuff so feel free to elaborate on my homegrown analysis.

Saylor will get the world to move massive amounts of financial value into Bitcoin. That's the harder part. 👏👍 Then, from there it will be much easier to get that financial value to move (using Maya) from Bitcoin into the best cryptocurrency money: Dash.

Saylor is assuring everyone that they are buying a "digital capital asset" to store value, which is not a threat to the government's control of currency. 😇 We'll just let him keep saying that, and watch all the value flow into the crypto ecosystem; meanwhile will be ready to compete for that value. It will become a competition to be useable currency that eventually subverts and replaces fiat as the world's money. 🌎

Bitcoin blazes our trail, while (lucky for us?) compromising its own worthiness. The more it grows, the more shitty it has to be to appeal to authorities and the people and entities who comply with them. But, once enough value moves into crypto, then that value can move. Public confidence in what is valuable can change quickly, especially if it's liquid. 💥

I'm invested in Dash through ups and downs because I think Dash is the actual most worthy thing of being valuable, and as a DAO Dash can continually optimize to be best. 🍻

Titles are in Finnish, but from 2016 to this day in whole world search statistics from google with terms \"how to buy dash\" and \"dash coin\"

I live for days like today. Scoop up some cheap Dash!

For years, Dash has tried to become a payment coin, but it just doesn’t work because clearly people prefer to use stable currencies, such as USDC, USDT, or cash.

I’ve spoken with several merchants and they all said they will not except cryptocurrencies that are not stable due to volatility and potential losses.

Why doesn’t Dash pivot to store of value as selling point instead? It has an even lower limited supply than bitcoin.

I remember time when I first got into crypto somewhere in late 2017 and made nice gains with dash when it was I think n.02 or n.03 in market cap. Since then I have had love hate relationship with this project.

I remember seeing MMA fighter Rory Macdonald wearing dash cap in the post fight interviews and was pumped to see marketing for this project, but that is the only time outside crypto scene I have ever seen this thing anywhere. It was for many years I thought this thing was totally dead, but for some reason I stumbled again back to this project recently.

This time something feels different and I don't really know why. I have feeling that we are about to have a major wave coming towards this thing and hopefully it is happening in the near future. Now I own 50 dash, but if this tanks hard I will increase my ownings towards 100 and try to actually have "diamond hands" and hold for the long game!

We need marketing for this thing to blow up, many still remember dash and I believe if we get to the top 100 it will open doors to many new investors!

Sorry if bad English somewhere, it is my 3rd language

Look who made the cut, getting the attention Dash truly deserves.

Dash lovers, which brands of digital gift cards would you like to see more discounts? We are preparing our Xmas deals to help your holiday shopping. Please tell us! Thanks.

Does anyone know why the interest rate came down from 7.5% to 5.5%?

Dash will surprise a lot of people in 2025 in my opinion

Should be first to reach $100! 🥳
