If this was anything to do with anything then Dash would be at the top of the "mined coins" league, not the bottom because only half of its supply is exposed to competitive mining compared to the others.

So this is just another bogus narrative which deflects from the elephant in the room - that giving away free coins to existing holders beyond the point of diminishing returns has a chronic and corrosive effect on marketcap.

Masternodes are simply overpaid in terms of Dash-denominated rewards so the free market revalues the marketcap downwards to make the dollar value of the reward viable. If we want the dollar value of masternodes to be sustainable then we need to throttle them back in terms of Dash and allow the market to revalue them back upwards in terms of dollars. This will of course have a far greater benefit in terms of capital gain on the collateral but at least it will make the rewards worth something again in terms of income.

I didn't "ignore everything else". I addressed your point that POW was harming Dash's marketcap by pointing out that it wasn't supported by observations. We have half the mining of our competitors and they have from 2 to 10 times our marketcap.

I've also addressed other points that we are simply the "victims of a trend" by indicating the divergence of Dash's trend from our mined peers.

This "pony" remember happens to be Dash's USP - the one thing that it claims to give it a competitive edge over other coins so don't you think it's reasonable to hold that claim to account if it is not reflected in the market position and perhaps ask if it needs refined ?

Hi guys!

what happened with dash Electrum wallet? I was hold some dash in my dash electrum wallet about a year ago. Recently I can not find the dash electrum wallet in my desktop. Lately I can know that dash electrum is no longer connected. I have the seed phrase. How can I recover my wallet now? Can any expert please help me in this case?

Use the old version of Dash electrum, no need to download updated one.

I see we can no longer renew Nord VPN subscriptions with Dash as they've switched from Coinpayments to Coingate which supports just about everything except Dash.

Had to pay with Litecoin instead.

Nice. At least the MN's are still receiving their (diminishing) rewards which are useful for cashing out to USD !  

****** HOW SHOULD WE FIX THIS **********

1. Acknowledge that capital flows invoked by the Dash protocol are sub-optimal because they divert all the capital out of the eco-system (m=MN count has been descending or stable while MN rewards relentlessly get dumped on markets without any countering buy side in the primary market as happens with mining rewards)

2. Acknowledge that Dash is not a stablecoin. It is a digital commodity (the opposite of a stable coin) and that to be competitive it needs to optimise that aspect for external investors. (At the moment Dash is only optimised to firehose half of all new supply to masternodes. But nobody wants to buy masternodes anymore because they know that anywhere above $90 the capital loss on their collateral blows their rewards to Kingdom Come)

3. Compete with bitcoin.

This is Dash's one and only strength. Bitcoin relies on mining so Dash must rely on mining, otherwise it dies. If Dash, as a protocol, can sustain almost as much mining as bitcoin while supporting services (which bitcoin can't) then it will be more competitive and store value. If it stores value it can get used for payments. If it gets used for payments it will rise in ranking. If it rises in ranking it will store value --> and so on, a virtuous cycle is set up instead of the vicious one we have now.

 On January 1st 2018 Bitcoin was $15,000 and DASH was $1100.  Today June 11'th 2022 Bitcoin is $28,500 and Dash is less than $50.  I might not have gotten out at the top but I was close and I'm sure glad I dumped those MN's when I did.

Anyone that thinks this garbage coin has a future is mistaken.  DASH = GARBAGE

DASH has no future.

We ARE in the future. You are seeing the fruits of policy right now.

This is the past:

Dash is in deep value here, the strong accumulation of Masternodes continues, you are doing yourself a disservice by being constantly bearish, why not deploy capital and grow your position?
