Didn't they try to ban it in Australia, too?  Last I heard, the ban failed. Drivers apparently used Uber's passenger rating system to simply blacklist all undercover cops who attempted sting operations against them.  Anybody down under have an update on that situation?  It is pretty interesting when you consider that Uber is effectively a multinational, self governed entity that has no particular jurisdiction.  Uber and crypto will make great bedfellows, methinks.   Probably the only thing keeping services like Uber tied down to any physical jurisdiction is the link to the fiat banking system.

It depends on which state you live in, NSW has incorporate Taxi's into the Uber. Queensland on the other hand has a strong taxi lobby so it is still illegal, but Uber pay the fine($5000) if any of their drivers gets caught so its business as usual.

I disagree with how you express the % decline.
Monero for example has declined to 27% of it's all time high, (saying 73% is misleading)
And it has reduced to 3.7 times its peak value

I got a bigger one for you: Quarkcoin :

This hit an ATH of 0.0003 btc and now is 0.0000027 btc
So quarkcoin has declined to only 0.9 % of it's all time high.
And it has reduced a staggering 111 times it's peak price !!

And everybody's all round favourite, none other than our volcano loving auroracoin.
This hit an ATH of .12 btc and is now 0.0002 btc
so auroracoin has declined to only 0.17% of it's all time high.
And it has reduced to a record 600 times less than its peak value!!!

As you point out, Dash has only reduced to roughly half its all time high measured in bitcoins and measured in dollars its about 20% of the peak of $15 (when bitcoin itself was much higher so weighting it up more of course)

Ah good old Auroracoin. I remember that mania vividly. How about Qora? That's an oldie but a goodie.

It's hard to pick a favorite. Auroracoin which is 1/600th of its former price, or Paycoin which was supposed to trade for $20 each (although they never did) and is now worth fifteen cents. That was insanity!

(P.S. I'm not reveling in anyone's misfortunes...I'm considering the failure of the coins themselves. I do honestly feel for those who were sucked in by the hype. For what it's worth, I bought most of my DASH not much below the ATH, so trust me, I feel the pain of paper losses.)

Looks good.
Can you explain how gourl bridges a bank account and Dash please? (noob version for someone who doesnt know much about payment processors)

Very interesting!

But does it support InstantX?

Yes, It's support.


I agree.
As additional security we do not keep any user's money (bitcoin, altcoins) on our servers.
All received payments are automatically forwarded to user's external wallet addresses within the next 30 minutes.
We use industry-leading technology (such as SSL encryption) to keep transaction information safe.
This gives additional protection to our customers against hackers, etc.

BF is not stupid and understands perfectly well the implication of ninja/insta/fastmines.

But he's also dishonest and holding a bag of D_igitaltrASH, which is why he devotes so many words and posts to pushing back against well-founded criticisms of Dash's problematic first 24 hrs, unproven privacy, questionable security, centralization, and HYIP-like attributes.

It would crash the price.  Automatic rules simply do what they are told.  Better to Hodl the DASH, obviously.

Think beyond the "gather and dump to fiat" mentality.  Help DASH gain true adoption.
