+---
+
+Digital currency and mixed martial arts are not two topics that naturally go together, but Firas Zahabi doesn’t see why they shouldn’t. Zahabi is the head coach of Tristar Gym and the trainer of MMA champion Georges St-Pierre. He’s also a digital currency enthusiast.
+
+Zahabi grabbed a great deal of attention last week when he offered $10,000 of the digital currency Dash to whoever predicted the precise outcome of the Mayweather-McGregor match. The winner, Mantas Šerpytis, was just announced this week, having predicted a Mayweather win in the 10th by TKO.
+
+As a bonus prize, Zahabi offered $100 in Dash to 100 random people who signed up for the contest. Cointelegraph had an opportunity to speak with Firas Zahabi and ask him about his interest in digital currency, and Dash in particular. The following transcript is lightly edited for clarity.
+
+Interview
+Cointelegraph: Firas, MMA and digital currency seem to be strange bedfellows. Most people think of digital currency in relation to finance and commerce. How is cryptocurrency relevant to your world?
+
+Firas Zahabi: Cryptocurrency is great for us because our viewers can send money very easily, especially with the new Dash app. It's really too easy. Also cryptocurrency is on the rise so when we receive cryptocurrency we are optimistic that the value will keep rising.
+
+CT: There are thousands of digital currencies, with heavyweights such as Bitcoin and Ethereum dominating the scene. Why choose Dash?
+
+FZ: We love Dash because of the new app. The transactions are instant and the fees are minimal. What more can you ask for? Many of us also still love Bitcoin and other crypto's, but Dash is the first to have such a great app.
+
+CT: I'm told you encourage your fighters to get paid in Dash. Can you talk a little more about that?
+
+FZ: We get paid in cryptocurrency, and especially Dash, because Dash and other cryptocurrencies are considered an asset and not a currency here in Canada. This allows us to compete and not fall under the category of prize fighting. Most important of all, cryptocurrency makes it really easy for our viewers to send the competitors money. Viewers can show their appreciation and reward competitors for their effort by simply scanning the competitors QR code on screen.
+
+Keep it simple
+According to Mark Mason, Director of Media & PR of Dash Force News:
+
+“What really impresses me about Firas is that he admits openly he is not great with technology, but due to the ease of use of Dash in comparison to Bitcoin he is introducing Dash Digital Cash to a whole new audience.”
+
+Zahabi actually takes the time to educate his viewers on how to use digital currency. Unlike others who just show a QR code and hope for the best, Zahabi takes things a step further. He actually does live demonstrations on his shows, teaching viewers how to use the Dash wallet app to send and receive money.
+
+Firas Zahabi has been interested in Dash since a random connection caused him to meet Jeff Smith, who works for the Dash Core Team. The two communicated for awhile, and the idea of a Dash giveaway was born.

+title: "Bitcoin and Dash Serve Victims of Hurricane Harvey"
+original-author: Liam Kelly

+---
+
+Danny Sessoms, host of an Austin-based cryptocurrency radio broadcast, announced on August 27 that he would be accepting cryptocurrency to help victims of Hurricane Harvey. Sessoms has typically partnered with Unsung.org to deliver food to the homeless, but this time he charged his RV with relief stocks and drove to Port Aransas, Texas. He bought hygiene packs, dry towels and other supplies at regional Walmarts using the donations he received since making the announcement.
+Less than two days later, a listener to The Crypto Show and AnthemGold Founder investor, stated publicly that he would, “match up to 10 BTC donated to help…[and]…This will go straight to the people in need”. Shortly thereafter, Bill Kline followed up his own promise by giving over $42,000 in bitcoin directly to the radio program.
+Kline told BTCManager that, “the reason [he] donated right away [was] because [Sessoms] was already on his way…[and Kline] figured [Sessoms] needed supplies right away.” Thus, with aid pressed for time, Kline concluded that if he, “was willing to match 10 btc, [he] better put [his] money where [his] mouth is.”
+The relief efforts continued to mount as Kline also reported that Sessoms has reached nearly $60,000 since August 30.
+Bitcoin in Crises
+This relief effort may seem anecdotal and peripheral to the surge of interest in cryptocurrencies over the past decade, but there have been a number of cases that would prove otherwise. In fact, cryptocurrencies may become the ideal solution for disaster situations in the future.
+On his blog blog.veritythink.com, information management officer for UN-OCHA, Andre J. Verity speculates on the efficacy of a cryptocurrency in a crisis situation. He draws from a particular experience in the Philippines in which the Cash-Working-Group was facing problems with how to monitor the ways in which unconditional cash transfers were being spent. Once money passed hands, the transparency ended and recipients were left to use these monies as they wished. This blinded relief efforts as aid groups were less able to determine exactly what recipients most needed.
+Verity concludes his piece with, “As a comparison, between 2008 and 2011, the number of [World Food Programme] cash and voucher projects increased from five in 2008 to 51 in 2011. In that year WFP set aside $208 million for distributions using cash or vouchers, but still spent over one billion dollars on food.”
+Thus with the greater transparency that a cryptocurrency can provide, aid programs will have a better means of monitoring points of sale. This would ultimately make aid more efficient and better targeted, whilst potentially saving millions.
+
+The two cases that follow explore the reasons why cryptocurrencies could be a more efficient alternative to relief efforts. The first will examine the side effects of the Venezuelan Oil Crisis, of which has appeared at BTCManager in 2016. The second case analyzes the way in which the United Nations used ethereum to distribute funds to Jordanian refugees on May 1 of this year.  Each layout the advantages to using cryptocurrencies in humanitarian projects.
+Venezuelan Oil Crisis
+As with many financial crises in recent times, Venezuela is facing problems related to oil exportation. The country is one of the richest in the world when it comes to the resource, but poor leadership from Hugo Chavez and the staggering inflation rate of the bolivar have hit the country hard.
+From 1999 to 2002, President Chavez sought to empower his nation by leveraging the world’s need for the country’s number one resource; oil. Everything was imported, no matter the price tag. Soon things like hospital provisions, food, and clothes were being bought with the money earned from oil exports. Even after Chavez was sacked, the system worked well and the country was profitable; the price for a barrel of oil in June of 2008 was $156.
+Today, however, the price is $46.16 and the country is in the midst of yet another nation-wide violent protest.
+Venezuelan workers have responded by finding different ways to navigate around the government and banks. Naturally, Bitcoin has become very popular for these exact reasons. As the Bolivar stands nearly valueless in the world market and citizens weighing instead of counting their currency, the ease and stability of Bitcoin is very appealing. Moreover, as long as a worker has access to a smartphone, he or she can be paid in cryptocurrency and doesn’t need access to a bank account.
+Refugee Crisis
+In May 2016, the United Nations opened a blockchain project that would use Ethereum to distribute unconditional funds to refugees in Jordan. The UN evaded banks and central governments by donating, “cryptographically unique coupons representing a certain amount of Jordanian dinars to various shops across five refugee camps in Jordan, where they will be distributed among the people” writes BTCManager. In this way, refugees would not need internet access, thus streamlining the dissemination of funds to recipients.
+Bitcoin and Humanitarian Aid
+Despite the reputation that cryptocurrencies have for stimulating illegal transactions, the aforementioned cases represent an alternative possibility for the monies. As the world becomes more connected via technology, it seems only natural that the way in which we pay for goods and services should mimic these developments. Moreover, the stability that cryptocurrencies can provide during times of crises is irrevocable. Whether it be due to natural disasters, economic malpractice, or individuals fleeing warzones, cryptocurrencies are providing a solution that local currencies cannot.

+
+Fans of privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Dash are sponsoring a road trip across the U.S. by Max Keiser and Stephen Baldwin. The celebrity pair will produce a 16-episode reality show to record their journey.
+
+Also read: Hackers Still Targeting Hal Finney’s Family Over Satoshi Nakamoto
+
+The Dash network raised $500,000 worth of donations to sponsor Keiser’s show “The GAP: Great American Pilgrimage”, which will air on the RT network worldwide.
+
+It should be a great promotional opportunity for the coin — RT claims to have hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide, and reaches a predominantly younger audience.
+
+Dash forum member Mark Mason announced a formal proposal (submitted by Jeff Smith) to sponsor the show in August. “With the recent price rise in Dash increasing the available treasury budget. It feels now would be the optimal time to pursue this,” he said.
+
+
+For its money, the Dash community gets branding wrap on Keiser and Baldwin’s RV, and the hosts will wear branded merchandise. They will mention Dash on the episodes, possibly interview a Core developer, and plug the cryptocurrency on other media appearances and publicity material.
+
+The “GAP” program itself isn’t explicitly about cryptocurrencies, but will likely contain economic themes. Keiser has also promised to “preach cryptocurrencies” along the way.
+
+He and Baldwin plan to travel across the United States in a bus, stopping in ordinary towns to “ask everyday Americans: what do you think America’s about?”
+
+Keiser Likes Dash Structure, Got Turned Down by Monero
+
+Dash logoKeiser reportedly said he was approached by several blockchain-related projects to sponsor the show. He eventually chose Dash, he said, due to its enthusiastic community. He also liked the “Masternode” mining reward/voting model that allows the decentralized network to also make decisions like a large corporation.
+
+In fact, he first offered a sponsorship deal to Riccardo Spagni (a.k.a. “FluffyPony”), project leader of rival coin Monero, during a TV interview. However the ever non-commercial Spagni wasn’t interested.
+
+“It’s an open source project, we have no money,” he replied, as Keiser appeared flabbergasted.
+
+About Keiser and Baldwin
+
+Keiser is an economic iconoclast and entrepreneur who has hosted his show “The Keiser Report” on RT since 2009. He has also been associated with a number of cryptocurrency projects, most famously “Maxcoin” and the ill-fated Startcoin.
+
+Stephen Baldwin
+Baldwin is a Hollywood actor most famous for his 80s and 90s movies like The Usual Suspects, Threesome and Bio-Dome. He is the youngest of the four “Baldwin brothers”, all of whom are actors.
+
+In July, Baldwin appeared on FOX business show “Varney & Co.” to talk about his interest in Bitcoin, and friendship with Keiser. He referred to cryptocurrencies as “kinda like stocks… a little bit,” and “a great way to make money from home”.
+
+In that interview, he also added the Great American Pilgrimage show would “most likely be funded by one of these Bitcoin companies”.
+
+In the end, it wasn’t a Bitcoin company but Dash itself that won out. Other communities will likely be interested to see what the exposure brings.

+original-author: Joshua Althauser 
+original-link: https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptocurrency-dash-team-schedules-free-conferences-in-venezuela
+---
+
+The Dash network is sponsoring twelve free conferences in Venezuela from September through the end of the year. The goal of these events is to increase Venezuelans’ knowledge of virtual currencies in general, and Dash in particular. The nation’s worsening hyperinflation has caused the popularity of Bitcoin and Ethereum to soar as people turn to these currencies as a more effective store of value than the Venezuelan Bolivar.
+
+The Dash plan
+Representatives of the Dash team have been regulars at a number of key Bitcoin conferences around the world. Recently, Dash announced that it is hosting an entire conference dedicated to the virtual currency. The Dash Conference 2017 will be held in London this September, and the team has promised some major announcements.
+
+Meanwhile, in Venezuela, each of the twelve free conferences is intended to introduce Venezuelans to the concept of Dash and familiarize them with its use. The Dash team hopes that the currency’s advanced features, such as instant transactions, will woo people away from Bitcoin’s slower network.
+
+So far, about 200 people have signed up to attend the inaugural conference being held in Caracas on September 19. The Dash team will be fighting an uphill battle, because Venezuelans are largely unfamiliar with digital currencies other than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
+
+State of cryptocurrencies in the country
+The Venezuelan government has yet to impose laws to regulate the digital currency market in the country. The absence of such regulations makes the use of cryptocurrencies considerably easier as individuals and businesses need not worry about onerous anti-money laundering laws. While the government has not been keen to regulate the buying and selling of digital currencies, there has been some pushback concerning virtual currency mining.

+original-author: Brian Patrick Eha 
+original-link: https://www.americanbanker.com/news/what-banks-can-learn-from-a-cryptocurrencys-bug-bounty-program
+---
+
+Financial institutions are prime targets for hackers, but there may be one species of prey even more appealing: digital currencies.
+
+The value not only of bitcoin but of the entire market for blockchain assets has exploded in the past six months, and one of the upstarts is taking no chances that its system can be compromised.
+
+The creators of Dash, a bitcoin rival, have hired the San Francisco-based security company Bugcrowd to run a "bug bounty" program on its behalf, enticing independent security researchers to pore over the cryptocurrency's code and paying them for every flaw they find.
+
+"As an open-source project, all of our code is available to be audited by anyone. But this will really bring a set of highly professional eyes to the code and make sure that it is as robust as possible," said Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash's core team, which is run like a for-profit startup.
+
+Talk to cryptocurrency insiders like Taylor—individuals who have helped create and secure these unique pieces of software—and they will tell you that banks could learn a lot from open-source projects like Dash about how to build applications and secure their networks.
+
+After all, the time for pretending that it is possible to make an app or network impregnable from the get-go—if it ever existed—is long gone. The new security paradigm is one of "persistent threats," in which the safest assumption is that a malicious actor has already penetrated your system.
+
+Ryan Taylor, CEO of the core team behind the cryptocurrency Dash
+Have at it
+"Rather than trying to hide the flaws," says Ryan Taylor of the Dash project, "we try to give as many people as possible the opportunity to find them and then fix them."
+Whether the code underlies a bank system or an internet currency, "vulnerabilities are inherent in how software is created," said Casey Ellis, chairman and chief technology officer of Bugcrowd. "They're a fact of life."
+
+This is so because people design things to do what they're meant to do, he said. Software developers aren't necessarily thinking about how to make their applications secure, merely effective.
+
+What Bugcrowd wants to do for the Dash team, as for all of its clients, Ellis said, is to "create a feedback loop between people who think like builders and people who think like breakers." From this process arises a resilient product.
+
+That resiliency has become ever more essential as Dash's value has skyrocketed. On Aug. 26 it set a record high of about $400 per coin, an increase of some 3,384% since Jan. 1. Dash's market capitalization briefly touched $3 billion over the weekend before settling back to about $2.8 billion in the early morning hours of Sunday.
+
+"Given that this is a financial product, it's extremely important that we explore all avenues possible in order to make the network as secure as possible," Taylor said.
+
+Dash is self-funded: The Dash community finances ongoing software and business development for the cryptocurrency with a portion of the new coins that are created at regular intervals through "block rewards." Dozens of developers and support staff are now on the team's payroll.
+
+As the cryptocurrency's value mounts, the block rewards become more lucrative. That made it easy to set aside $200,000 for the bug bounty pool. The money will be shared among any researchers who detect and report a bug. The more severe the impact of that vulnerability, the higher the reward—up to $10,000 for the most critical flaws.
+
+Bugcrowd plans to start small with the bounty program, initially revealing Dash's code only to a few dozen highly skilled security experts, before ramping it up over time. Ultimately, all of the 60,000 researchers in Bugcrowd's network will have a chance to participate.
+
+To bankers, accustomed to the demands of proprietary software, the approach can only seem a radical one.
+
+"Rather than trying to hide the flaws," Taylor said, "we try to give as many people as possible the opportunity to find them and then fix them."
+
+Lessons for banks
+
+This radical transparency has worked wonders for bitcoin.
+
+Although the digital currency's network hasn't been compromised in years, says Taylor, in August 2010 there was an incident in which a hacker exploited a flaw in the code to create 92 billion bitcoins out of thin air—massively inflating the supply of a currency that was supposed to have a hard cap of 21 million. Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was forced to do an emergency "fork" of the code to fix the issue.
+
+Since then, dozens of developers have improved upon and countless outsiders have examined the code. For a long time, Ellis himself was skeptical regarding bitcoin's security. He figured that a catastrophic exploit would be found sooner or later, and the cryptocurrency's value would drop to zero. But that never happened.
+
+"The result is pretty astounding when you think about it. Bitcoin is completely open-source, yet the last significant hack of it took place [seven] years ago," Taylor said. "You end up with a highly secure system despite not funding any firewalls, not funding any security staff to try to prevent people from accessing it, not funding any detection systems. None of that is necessary if you design it in a way where it's essentially hack-proof."
+
+While bitcoin wallets and bitcoin exchanges have been compromised many times, the network itself has proven to be a model of what the author Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls antifragility—it has become more resilient by withstanding attacks.
+
+This sort of design ethos is anathema to banks, which have traditionally relied on secrecy—keeping their code private, whether it was developed in-house or written by vendors such as Fiserv, FIS or Jack Henry—and trying to deny access to hackers in order to keep their systems secure.
+
+To be fair, this has been slowly changing in recent years as a number of banks, including Citigroup, BBVA, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Capital One have opened up developer hubs that give third parties access to some of their code and data. Some large banks use bug bounty programs, though they don't like talking about them, and some are seriously testing and considering open-source blockchain technologies, including Hyperledger and Quorum, for certain purposes such as derivatives clearing. And there are a few open-source core banking initiatives, such as the Open Bank Project and Apache Fineract, though they haven't been widely adopted in the United States.
+
+Yet even if they can't, or won't, fully adopt the open-source mindset of security through transparency, financial institutions can learn from its best practices. One step might be to embrace wholeheartedly the practice of rewarding coders for finding and patching bugs.
+
+"Programmers like creating stuff," Taylor said. "It's far less sexy to comb through legacy code that has existed for years and attempt to find vulnerabilities in it. And it's unlikely that their bosses are going to pat them on the back for spending a chunk of time looking for bugs and not finding them. And if they do find them, [their managers] generally say, 'OK, great, good for you.' But there's no incentive there. If they fail to find anything, they're scolded; and if they do find something, it's viewed as luck."
+
+Building bug-hunting bonuses into the pay structure of engineers, for instance, would send the message that software quality is more important than quantity.
+
+"If you incentivize programmers to find and resolve bugs, it will change behavior," Taylor said.
+
+Banks could also start open-sourcing certain parts of their systems, suggested Alex Waters, a former bitcoin quality assurance engineer and the chief technology officer of the stealth startup GetKelvin.
+
+"There are aspects of their applications that probably should be open-source—things like authentication and communication," said Waters. "Which is not to say that they'd be open-sourcing the underlying data. Of course not. It's just they'd be making available for public review the methodology for authentication, for example."
+
+Taylor agrees, with the caveat that any software providing a true competitive advantage should be kept under wraps. But for commoditized functions and services, banks could actually reduce their security risks by using open-source software, he said. "And I don't think that is ever really a consideration for them. I think they blindly use closed-source, or commercial, software for everything."
+
+Nothing banks can't handle
+
+Waters, who has consulted for banks, is convinced of the open-source approach's benefits.
+
+"Generally speaking, large open-source projects are far more secure than in-house, private software," he said. "And within the realm of large open-source projects, cryptocurrencies—because of their inherent nature as being based on cryptography—tend to be the most secure, and security-conscious, groups."
+
+What, then, of banks working with cryptocurrencies themselves? Asked whether financial institutions are right to be wary of these new technologies, since by and large they can't be centrally controlled, Bugcrowd's Ellis says no.
+
+"I don't consider crypto to be a unique or a special case from a vulnerability standpoint," he said.
+
+You can count on any software being attacked at some point, he clarified. What does make digital currency unique is that "the [monetary] value is inherent in the code," so major flaws in the code can be financially catastrophic. Extra care and attention is required, and that is where his company's crowdsourced security comes in.
+
+"You don't build a three-foot fence to defend against a 10-foot attacker, because that would be ineffective," he said. "But you also don't build a 10-foot fence to defend against a three-foot attacker, because that would be economically irrational."
+
+Ultimately, the security challenges posed by cryptocurrencies are nothing banks can't handle, Waters said, provided that they "apply everything they already know. What better industry to work on custody, settlement and clearing for cryptocurrencies than the banking industry, which has been doing [these things] for years? They're totally equipped to understand all of the various risks and how to mitigate them."

+original-author: Jordi Carrera 
+original-link: https://bitcoiner.today/en/dash-and-decentralized-governance-by-block-chain/
+---
+
+Decentralized governance: the consensus of blocks
+Dash is the first decentralized autonomous organization operating with a Sybil-tested decentralized governance and funding system. Decentralized governance by Blockchain (DGBB), referred to simply as the “treasury system”, is a means of reaching consensus on the proposed changes to the network and the development of Dash ecosystem finance. Ten percent of the block awards go to this “treasury” to pay for projects that benefit Dash. Treasury funding has been used to hire additional developers and other employees to fund conference attendance and to fund integrations with major exchanges and API providers.
+
+This is how Dash stands, without the need for external funds, everything is created in the DASH network.
+
+Each masternode operator receives one vote. Proposals are eligible for funding according to the following formula: (YES VOTES – NO VOTES)> (TOTAL NUMBER OF MASTERNODES * 0.1). If there are more proposals that meet this criterion than budget funds for the month, proposals with the highest net votes will be paid. Community interaction with proposal submitters is done through dash.org forums, or through community-driven websites such as DashCentral. These websites allow proposal submitters to submit several drafts and then press for community support before finally submitting their project to the network for a vote. After the sender has sufficient support, the network will automatically pay the necessary funds in the next super block, which occurs monthly.
+
+Each operator masternode obtains a vote, by each masternode that they operate. Some get 1 vote (1 masternode), some get 70 votes (one operator, 70 masternodes). Dash works well with nodes. Responsibilities are attributed to the people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials. People who greatly help the Dash network get more rewards.
+“do-ocray” individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities are attributed to the people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials.
+
+Governance and Financing
+The funding system has experienced revenue growth. In September 2015, the treasury system provided $ 14,000 in funds per month. Due to increases in the value of Dash, as of May 2017 the treasury system provides more than $ 650,000 per month in financing. An example of decentralized government, which also has the treasury system that has created a positive feedback loop, through which additional development increases the value of Dash, which increases the amount of funding provided by the budget system.
+
+It is impressive to see that the DASH network and the trust in a decentralized digital government are increasingly being strengthened, and it can be a milestone in the world of crypto-metadata of finance and sustainable economy totally consensuated without the need for totalitarian or authoritarian central governments.
+
+Masternodes: The Governance of Dash
+With increased confidence and consensus through network voting, many are already thinking of creating more master nodes to earn a percentage of all the mined blocks. If more nodes are created, the distribution must be fair and equal for all. Being more to share of the global percentage, it might be that it was not so interesting to disburse important capital for the creation of new nodes. Of course, everything depends on the supply-demand, leaving in the future a fixed percentage for all.
+
+What is expected in the future is a balance of nodes that support and is the basis of the Dash network, adding nodes when power grows and is necessary, creating a sustainable economy that would pay the expenses of the servers and have net benefits.
+
+Another novelty that is expected to be implemented in the portfolios of our computers is that each can deposit a certain amount of DASH, 10-20-30 … .etc .., same as a bank account, to encompass a complete node, that yes , they will not be able to touch if we want to receive a percentage of the reward, equal to the saved for the node. Removing the DASH can be done at any time. In this way many users of DASH portfolios will collaborate in the creation of these important nodes for the DASH cryptometric ecosystem and make it decentralized.
+
+Undoubtedly, it is a clear example and a huge open governance project, a decentralized “new way of governing” that is possible and real in a digital world.

+title: "Warning! Dash-Coin.net Wallet Attempts to Scam Users"

+
+A new fraudulent wallet service, Dash-Coin.net, is attempting to scam users.
+
+Billed as a web wallet, the site attempts to gain users while maintaining access to their private keys, and therefore any funds sent to the wallet. The Dash Core team sent out a warning via Reddit:
+
+Several users already scammed
+
+Unfortunately, the fraudulent wallet succeeded in acquiring several users already. According to Edward Stoever, who runs the online game site Dash.Red, several users signing up to the site had the same address, which was linked to the fraudulent wallet service:
+
+“The Dash.red website has many security settings, one of which is to block transactions to the same Dash Address from different users. A member contacted me, the dash.red administrator, complaining that his transaction was blocked. In that communication, the member revealed that he got the Dash Public address from the “web wallet service” dash-coin.net. That is when I realized why different users were using the same Dash address. It is a simple yet effective fraud.”
+Users should be careful to only trust officially vetted wallets
+
+As the cryptocurrency space is still relatively experimental, users need to be aware of potential threats from fraudulent services, especially unproven wallet providers, which can potentially control users’ private keys and steal their funds. As a best practice, it’s safest to only use wallets included on the official list at Dash.org. Beyond that list, users should do their due diligence in vetting services that have access to their funds.

+title: "Copay Wallet going into closed Alpha Testing"

+
+The Dash version of the Copay wallet, the base for the Evolution wallet, has entered its alpha testings phase.
+
+Copay is a multisignature (multisig) Bitcoin wallet designed by BitPay that allows users to set up joint accounts and put funds in control of multiple parties. The Dash Evolution team is working on a Dash version of this wallet, titled Dashpay, as a base for the Evolution upgrade, which will give a clean user-friendly experience and allow some advanced functions such as joint accounts, savings accounts, private cash accounts, recurring payments, and more.
+
+Joshua Seigler, Evolution frontend developer for Dash Core, is pleased with the experience so far:
+
+“Copay has a good reputation as a Bitcoin wallet, none of that solid feeling or great UX has been lost from what I’ve seen.”
+
+The wallet will undergo rigorous testing to support a large user base
+
+The wallet is undergoing rigorous alpha testing in order to be ready to easily support a large amount of users later this year and beyond. According to Chuck Williams, head of UI/UX development for Dash Core, the experience inherited from Copay has been stellar:
+
+“Implementing the Copay wallet for the Dash network has been a tremendous learning experience for our team. While there is some obvious technical debt in the inherited codebase provided by Bitpay, the functionality provided for multiplatform HD and multisignature wallets is probably one of the most user friendly experiences available from an open source bitcoin wallet.”
+
+Williams projects that by the end of the year, as many as 15,000 could be using the Dashpay wallet:
+
+“Our next steps is to harden the interface with some user testing while we prepare production environments for public launch. Currently it looks like mid-to-late October, or possibly early November before we’re production ready. Based on current estimates, we’re preparing to onboard 10-15 thousand users on this release before end of Q4, 2017.”
+Initial milestones for Evolution have begun to be hit
+
+With the initial testing of the Dashpay wallet, the first stages of Evolution’s are starting to see the light. Over the course of the rest of the year, the alpha of Evolution will be released to partners for additional testing. According to the roadmap, Evolution will see a livenet release in February, with a mainnet public release in June. The Evolution upgrade will be a multi-stage, multi-year process to support millions of users around the world.
