+title: "Dash Reaches Dizzying Highs As Enthusiasm for Number 3 Crypto Grows"
+---
+Privacy-centric altcoin Dash has continued expanding to unforeseen highs, now testing the $50 barrier per single coin.
+
+The asset’s exponential short-term rise has delighted investors and partners alike, with so far little speculation as to what could happen next.
+
+Dash has grown from 0.005 BTC to 0.03 BTC in just three months - a rise of around 500 percent in Bitcoin terms.
+
+Despite being available since March 2014, it is only recently that mainstream interest in the currency has picked up, with the deals accelerating as trading activity gains momentum.
+
+Dash’s most recent 24-hour trade volumes now rival Ethereum’s, with Coinmarketcap data show it has the third-highest market capitalization in cryptocurrency.
+
+
+
+In February Dash debuted on the BitMEX exchange, while this week Wall of Coins released over-the-counter purchases for cash.
+
+Criticism over the rapid price increase is notably absent, with commentators continuing to extole Dash’s virtues and ability to usurp Bitcoin in terms of consumer convenience.
+
+Commenting on his decision to add Dash, BlockPay payment system CEO Christoph Hering described Bitcoin as “unsexy.”
+
+“I think that the Dash Network is different because it has a strong and active community, a great worker system funding growth and marketing plus an active development team that is building the right tools for mass adoption,” he said.

+title: "This bitcoin rival nearly doubled in value in one week"
+---
+The price of a single Dash token has doubled in the span of a week as traders attempt to front-run a major exchange’s decision to initiate trading in the digital currency.
+
+Dash, shorthand for digital cash, saw its price rise as high as $57.75 a coin on Thursday, up from $24.20 a week ago, according to data provided by CryptoCompare. That is more than Litecoin’s November 2013 peak of $53, thought to be the highest-ever valuation attained by an alternative to bitcoin.
+
+With a total value of $329 million, Dash is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, behind only bitcoin and ethereum.
+
+In a business-development proposal published on the official Dash forum back in January, the Dash team solicited funding to help “cover costs of integrating Dash into a major cryptocurrency exchange…” with the launch expected around the end of the first quarter.
+
+Like other bitcoin alternatives, known collectively as alt-coins, Dash has benefited from a recent run-up in bitcoin, which reached a record high north of $1,250 US:BTCUSD on Thursday. Trades from bitcoin to Dash account for the overwhelming majority of its trading volume, though recently trading in U.S. dollars has increased to around 10% of its average daily volume, according to CryptoCompare data.
+
+Ryan Taylor, director of finance at Dash, said the digital currency has experienced steady growth as an increasing number of exchanges and digital-currency payment providers have embraced the digital currency. Average daily trading volume increased by 1,700% in the fourth quarter, from the same period in 2015.
+
+Thirty-one exchanges presently allow clients to trade in Dash in 42 distinct currency pairs, Taylor said. No exchanges have adopted trading in Dash so far this year, though Blockcypher, a payments platform, did recently enable Dash payments, he said.
+
+Chris Burniske, blockchain analyst and products lead at ARK Invest, said on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/arkblockchain?lang=en) that Dash’s relative illiquidity has led to exaggerated price moves.
+
+Dash is one of a handful of alt-coins that has enhanced privacy features. Other examples include Zcash and Monero. Dash also differs from bitcoin in several other notable ways, including how governance issues are decided by the network.

+title: "Dash now added to crypto exchange Bitfinex"
+---
+Dash, a cryptocurrency alternative to bitcoin, is being added to the world’s largest digital asset exchange in USD terms, Bitfinex. The platform addition came into effect at 1pm EST today, allowing traders to make online buys and sells between the third most valuable cryptocurrency, USD, and bitcoin (DASH/BTC & DASH/USD).
+
+This news comes in the wake of popular derivatives trading platform [BitMEX](http://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/02/14/dash-added-to-cryptocurrency-derivative-trading-platform-bitmex/) adding Dash last month.
+
+Dash is currently undergoing a historic rise in value. Previously one of the most stable coins, Dash began the year at $11 per and is now trading at $44 per coin. From January 1st to today, trading volume is up by a staggering 22x, and [Dash’s market cap has zoomed to over $320 million USD](http://www.cryptoninjas.net/cryptocurrencymarketcap/), more than double that of every digital currency except Bitcoin and Ethereum.
+
+Dash VP of Business Development, Daniel Diaz said:
+
+“The partnership is recognition of the way the market has been responding to Dash’s vision and roadmap. I am a firm believer that the free market will always recognize true value when growth and performance is sustained over long periods of time. Partnering with Bitfinex is a very important step for Dash as we look to provide good, regulated on and off ramps to the network that really make user applications easier. Dash is in a transition towards the regulated fiat exchanges that will make it a lot easier for users and investors to move in and out of the Dash economy, which will reduce friction and allow Dash to trade directly for fiat currencies in the more popular exchanges in the blockchain industry.”
+
+While the entire industry has continued on an upward trajectory this year, Dash is growing at a much faster rate than any other digital currency. In 2017, Bitcoin’s price is up 22% and Ethereum’s is 57%; however, Dash has experienced the strongest growth by far, up 295% and peaking at $60 USD per coin on March 2. [Driving Dash’s phenomenal surge is the implementation of its large-scale software upgrade](http://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/02/06/bitcoin-alternative-dash-releases-largest-most-significant-upgrade-since-inception/), several strategic business partnerships and the impending rollout of an industry-first decentralized payments system called Evolution.
+
+Diaz continued:
+
+“The Dash project has shown focus in what is most important for the users; fast, reliable and cost-effective transactions. Dash also has a well-defined software development roadmap and a strong business development pipeline; the combination of these things has led to a surge in popularity and has naturally attracted the attention of the largest exchanges in the blockchain industry.”
+
+Bitfinex, headquartered out of Hong Kong, has the most liquid order book in the world and is one of the most popular marketplaces for altcoin trading, moving over $50 million USD every 24 hours. Founded in 2012, Bitfinex also offers leveraged margin trading through a peer-to-peer funding market.
+
+Bitfinex CSO, Phil Potter
+Bitfinex Chief Strategy Officer Phil Potter said:
+
+“Bitfinex is extremely excited to be adding Dash to our exchange. Dash is currently experiencing its breakout moment right now and we want to be able to provide our growing customer base with seamless access to one of the rising stars in our space. Bitfinex prides itself on being the world’s largest digital asset exchange by USD. We expect an incredibly strong market for Dash and we look forward to a tremendous partnership with their team.”
+
+
+Dash is currently the third most traded coin. Until now, most of its 24-hour trading volumes, averaging around $50 million USD, occurred across Poloniex and BTC-E.
+
+Diaz concluded his statement:
+
+“Anyone that has been in the digital currency space long enough knows that one of the most difficult things in crypto still today is getting access to coins. Our users will be thrilled to have more options to buy Dash directly without having to go through other digital currencies, making interaction with our blockchain even more friendly.”

+title: "Dash: A Viable Bitcoin Alternative?"
+---
+The Cryptocurrency world is growing and the number of Cryptocurrency users is increasing as each day passes. Most of the digital currencies users seem to be on a spending spree, with coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum increasing in value since the beginning of the year. Not only Bitcoin and Ethereum have been growing this year, Dash is another altcoin that has grown tremendously over the past few months. Looking at the numbers, which we will see later, it is arguably the biggest beneficiary of this spending spree by Cryptocurrency users.
+
+Dash is currently enjoying a very good run, which might not be over anytime soon. This is because according to CoinMarketCap, yesterday (Mar. 1) its price reached an all time high of about $46.75. Just seven days ago, it was trading at $22, this represents a gain of more than 40 percent in its value. The reason why I said it’s arguably the biggest beneficiary of this spending spree by Cryptocurrency users is because it started the year trading at around $11. Looking at these numbers, it has gone up by over 300 percent so far in 2017. With this growth, it has set a new market Capitalization high of over $300 million. It gained over $70 million yesterday alone, which is quite impressive. This was a day after Amanda B. Johnson, through YouTube, characterized Tuesday as its [biggest day ever](https://youtu.be/FYvuOYz9fuM) due to factors such as it passing Litecoin and Ripple to become the industry’s number three in market cap.
+
+One question that must be in almost everyone’s mind is what’s the reason for yesterday’s huge increase. Yesterday’s boost is attributed mainly to news that Dash had entered into an agreement with Walls of Coins. Walls of Coins is an online platform that is expected to allow users to buy or sell Dash for cash in a peer-to-peer manner. This agreement is expected to make buying and selling of it is more convenient than it was before. It’s quite easy because Dash users are only required to deposit cash at a local financial institution and to have a software wallet of their own choice. Within minutes users then receive Dash directly to their software wallets. Users can also sell their Dash to Walls of Coins and collect them later at the nearest financial institution.
+
+Ryan Taylor, Dash’s director of finance, is quoted by The Dash Times as saying that with Walls of Coins users can purchase the coin at tens of thousands of physical locations in twelve different countries. He proceeds to say that Walls of Coins supports their InstantSend feature making transactions to be amazingly fast. This provides the community with another way to sell Dash at a premium to the rates charged on traditional exchanges. From this new development it’s fair to say that it is determined to give their users what they truly want that is privacy, ability to fix problems quickly and of course instantly settled payments.
+
+Bitcoin has for a long time been serviced by Walls of Coin and it’s nice to see another Cryptocurrency using his platform. Dash is definitely on the right path to being Bitcoin’s viable alternative.

+
+VC for payment compliance: Deutsche Bourse's new financial technology venture fund is looking to make as many as five new investments of up to $20 million each this year, with attention to startups that use blockchain and artificial intelligence to aid compliance with new payment rules in Europe such as PSD2, a digital commerce-driven directive that's also drawing attention from IBM and other providers of open development tools. Finextra reports Deutsche's venture fund, DB1, is focusing on how AI, machine learning and cloud delivered technology can improve security and compliance for a range of activities including payments, trades and other banking transactions. Last year, DB1 considered more than 250 startups and other ventures, investing in a handful of companies in the API, virtual gaming and B-to-B software industries.
+
+
+
+A quick trade for Dash: Fresh off of its collaboration with the online marketplace Wall of Coins, Dash has begun trading on Bitfinex, the largest digital asset exchange by U.S. dollars. Dash has grown nearly 300% in 2017, and has become the world's third most valuable cryptocurrency, peaking at nearly $60 per coin. Other virtual currencies have done well so far in 2017. Bitcoin's price was up 22% as of Friday, reaching a level comparable to precious metals, and Ethereum is up nearly 60%.
+
+Reach them where they live: Mobile payments technology is starting to show signs of life, but thus far has mostly lagged industry expectations. A new trend may change that. The amount of time people spend using mobile devices is growing quickly, and has now passed five hours per day as of the fourth quarter of 2016, according to TechCrunch. That's a 20% increase over the fourth quarter of 2015, when mobile usage passed television for the first time. Users spend 19% of their mobile time on Facebook, the highest category of usage, confirming the payments industry's interest in engaging parts of the social network. Users also spend 15% of their mobile time on entertainment and 11% on gaming. Users spend 5% of their mobile time on shopping.
+
+A threat to health care credit cards in Canada: LendingArch is offering what amounts to installment payments for Canadian health care expenses, hoping to take a bite of the credit card market for consumer-direct health care payments. LendingArch will offer point of sale lending at clinics in Canada to cover the portion of health care expense that's not covered by national systems or health insurance. In an email release, LendingArch said the product is designed to offer personalized credit and repayment plans of 12 months to three years for individual consumers, with online or onsite preapprovals before treatment or procedures. The company hopes to undercut the credit card market for health care services in the expanding out-of-pocket health care market in Canada.

+title: "Incident Report on DDoS attack against Dash’s Masternode P2P network"
+---
+A DDoS targetted the Dash network resulting in around 12% of Masternode's going offline but with most services unaffected. Read our analysis of the attack and learn how to protect your Masternode.
+
+## Overview
+
+Yesterday at 16:17PM UTC a DDoS attack against Masternodes in Dash’s P2P network began, originating from around 2,000 IPs based in Asia. The attack contained a mix of SYN-Flood, UDP floods (with empty payloads) and protocols like sFlow and GRE.
+
+During the initial wave of the attack most Masternodes experienced higher CPU and bandwidth usage which was enough to cause around 100 Masternodes to become unresponsive. It was originally thought that these nodes were the “weak” nodes among the network but further inspection proved that it wasn’t always the case. For example we had some stronger nodes go offline due to excessive logging of dropped packet data. This shows the importance of taking the proper steps required to secure and protect each and every Masternode which is part of the network.
+
+After the initial wave of the attack as Masternode owners started to deploy iptable rulesets to counteract the attacks we started noticing a second larger wave of traffic. The attackers were continuing with the SYN-Floods but also were attempting to exhaust the connection limits of the Dash Core daemon itself in hopes of crippling the software and it’s ability to process Dash protocol messages.
+
+During this larger second spike many Masternode owners started seeing enough malicious traffic that certain VPS providers automated DDoS protection started kicking in. The second wave of the attacks saw another set of 400 or so Masternodes drop off the network bringing the total number of affected nodes to around 500.
+
+Prior to the attack starting there were 4030 Masternodes available and at the peak of the second wave this number was reduced to 3550 Masternodes. This means the attacker(s) were able to bring 11.9% of the Masternode network offline.
+
+## Timeline
+
+The following is a timeline of the events as they unfolded as well as an overview of how the Masternode network was affected.
+
+
+
+Masternode count:
+
+
+
+## Masternode Availability
+
+Included below are two graphics that help illustrate visually what happened on the network. The graphic on the left shows the enabled Masternode counts during the attack. The number of nodes online before the attack (4030) and it’s low (3550) during the attack. The graphic on the right shows the number of connections that were being seen during the attack. Normally a node will see connection peers in the range of 8 - 25 peers per node. During the peak of the attack almost all connection slots were occupied even if node was configured to accept much more connections.

+
+## Service Disruption
+
+During the attack, two 3-rd party services put their Dash services on hold for a few hours due to “network issues” (reported by users of Poloniex and Exmo). However, other 3-rd party services as well as network operations such as mining, transaction processing, InstandSend and PrivateSend appeared to function without any issues. No user funds were affected.
+
+## Suggested IP Table rules
+
+One of the core devs (Chaeplin) has created a suggested iptables ruleset for Masternode operators based on data gained from the attack.
+
+We recommend that **all Masternode operators configure [this firewall ruleset](https://gist.github.com/chaeplin/5dabcef736f599f3bc64bdce7b62b817)** on their remote Masternode end points.
+
+## Dash Core Improvements
+
+Dash Core is based on Bitcoin Core which has highly robust network code. However, we are investigating possible ways to improve it based on further analysis of the data collected during the attack.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+Things are never dull at Dash. In the last month we have successfully pushed a hard fork with major improvements to the protocol, seen our market cap double, and now our first DDoS attack. We encourage all Masternode owners whose nodes were affected to assess the reason of the node failure, moving to a more powerful VPS or upgrading the hosting plan if necessary to ensure that your Masternode doesn't fall out of payment queue during such events.
+
+That being said even some more powerful nodes were affected. This should be a reminder to all Masternode owners that doing their due diligence in terms of setting up **correct iptable protection, DDoS protection and regular monitoring** will start to become the norm in the future. At the current USD/DASH exchange rate the approximate return is around $350 a month per Masternode. This means there is still room left to protect your node and we encourage users to look into this further.
+
+We would like to thank the Dash Nation community for all their help during this attack. This could be the first probe before a larger attack so everyone should be extra diligent over the next few days getting the proper protections in place for their nodes. If you or someone you know is having problems we urge you to join the [Dash Forum](https://www.dash.org/forum/) or the [Dash Nation Slack](https://dash-nation-invite.herokuapp.com/) where lots of people are willing to help you configure your Masternode correctly.

+title: "PR Decentralized: How Dash Succeeded in DAO-Powered Public Outreach"
+---
+Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies functioning off Blockchain distributed ledger technology operate in an open-source environment without centralized ownership or command structure.
+
+Under this model, only miners, those who mint new coins and process network transactions, receive funding directly from the cryptocurrency itself in the form of the block reward, or all new coins created.
+
+[Dash](https://cointelegraph.com/tags/dash), a cryptocurrency emphasizing mass adoption and usability, breaks from this model by offering only 45 percent of the block reward to miners and reserving 10 percent of new coins minted to fund development and other projects.
+
+Community projects
+Reddit user Tigerix, when [contrasting the approaches](https://cointelegraph.com/news/dash-passes-litecoin-and-monero-to-claim-number-4-cryptocurrency-status) and relative successes of Dash and Monero, notes the organization and funding employed by Dash:
+
+“Because Dash is [great in marketing](https://cointelegraph.com/news/which-marketing-strategy-is-best-for-blockchain-bitcoin-companies) and has big plans in terms of usability and mass adoption. While Monero is like Linux, Dash is like Microsoft. They have the power of a wealthy company.”
+
+Unlike a corporation, however, Dash is not owned or controlled by a specific group or certain individuals. Instead, the 10 percent treasury budget reserved for development is controlled by masternodes, stakeholders (and recipients of the final 45 percent of Dash’s block reward) who can vote for or against any budget proposal brought before them.
+
+Any request for funding must make it past a masternode vote, even those requested by the core development team and the coin’s founder. In this regard, Dash can be considered the first decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO.
+
+This DAO has enabled a variety of community projects to spring forth organically and receive funding in the same way as the core team, including far-reaching public relations initiatives.
+
+Amanda B. Johnson’s Dash Detailed video show
+Amanda B. Johnson, who wrote for Cointelegraph and ran a general cryptocurrency show called The Daily Decrypt, saw a gap in the Dash ecosystem’s educational media offerings. She took the opportunity to submit a proposal to the masternodes to produce a video series to educate the general public about the inner workings of Dash, as well as to highlight news and developments in the community.
+
+According to Johnson, the availability of treasury funds for community projects provides the necessary incentives for such projects to flourish, performing well and with consistency:
+
+“Production follows incentives. Without the availability of treasury funds, I'd likely never have expended the immense time, effort and labor it's taken to produce “DASH: Detailed.” Proper economic incentives cause solutions to arise naturally - in the case of “DASH: Detailed,” we're a solution for the mass communication of Dash developments.”
+
+While Johnson still feels a great deal of accountability for her work, working for a DAO provides an increased amount of operational freedom:
+
+“I only have as much freedom as the masternodes (my employers) allow me, naturally. You can't make money without one or more bosses -- your customers are your ultimate bosses, really. But it's magical not to deal with the hassles of traditional, bank-run payroll!”
+
+The Dash Nation community initiative
+In order to grow a positive community environment to welcome new users and build a platform for positive collaboration and discussion, Dash Twitter activist Tao of Satoshi launched the Dash Nation channel on Slack after a previous Dash-centered Slack community collapsed amid infighting and negativity:
+
+“I felt that there was a void that needed to be filled in the community with the implosion of the previous Slack. A place where respect and professionalism ruled the day, and people could hang out and collaborate on projects in real-time would only be a benefit.”
+
+Observing Johnson’s success in running a YouTube show, but sensing a gap in education about Dash, Tao launched his own show, Cash Alternative TV, and [submitted a proposal](https://www.dashcentral.org/p/CATV_Equipment) to the masternodes to fund equipment to produce the show:
+
+“Cash Alternative TV was created because adding another voice to YouTube after Amanda B. Johnson was a priority for me, and I feel strongly about fighting the war on cash.”
+
+According to Tao, both community projects of his have been successful in growing Dash’s community and public face:
+
+“They are both very successful, with Dash Nation Slack becoming a great place to come and be among like-minded people in a positive environment. I may be biased, but I feel it has had a tremendous impact on morale and productivity in the community. CATV is newer, so I am still evaluating the results. It did provide me with the opportunity to debunk a hit job performed by a leading member of a competitor, filled with mistruths. So, that was also positive.”
+
+The Dash Force online activism project
+In addition to Tao’s initiative to improve Dash’s messaging and counter negative press and commentary, Dash Nation Slack community member Mastermined saw a void in Dash’s online activism. After witnessing prolific, coordinated and ultimately successful online activism from another cryptocurrency, he took it upon himself to submit a proposal to fund incentives to similarly engage in the online discussion of cryptocurrencies and advocate for Dash:
+
+“It was something that I had been thinking about for a while. A few community members had tried similar projects in the past but they all failed to get funded for one reason or another. After a similarly named project failed due to leadership issues I decided I needed to take over and make it happen.”
+
+According to Mastermined, the Dash Force has had the desired effect in energizing the community to advocate for Dash and respond to questions and criticisms:
+
+“So far we have been very successful by all metrics. Participation is up across the board and the community has really come back together after a rough split from our old Slack channel.
+
+(Marketing and public relations in the field of cryptocurrency are) just as important as any other business. Coins who fail to address this issues will fall to their competitors.”
+
+Mastermined also sees the advantage a DAO organizational and funding system provides over a traditional centralized corporate structure:
+
+“The Decentralized Governance By Blockchain (DGBB) is the key to our marketing success. It has allowed us to fund traditional PR firms as well as community-based grassroots marketing. You really need both to be effective and Dash leads most if not all cryptocurrency teams in that respect.”
+
+The DAO model promotes a decentralized ecosystem
+The decentralized model for distributing treasury funds encourages development for the Dash ecosystem at a community level. This differs from a traditional centralized model where all initiatives are first funneled through the core team, and from an open-source model where community efforts to grow the ecosystem must be self-organized and self-funded.
+
+According to Ryan Taylor, the Dash core team’s director of finance, this model allows funding to reach projects well outside of the core team’s scope or control, creating multiple projects under Dash’s greater DAO:
+
+“People often refer to Dash as a company, and it’s easy to see why. The network funds a highly cohesive core team with a clear strategy and direction. But in reality, our Blockchain funds many different DAOs that each pursue various opportunities to further the coin, and these entities and projects live alongside one another. Unlike a traditional company, this approach ensures the best ideas can flourish, regardless of their source.”
+
+Tao sees Dash’s DAO as an opportunity to fund a top-tier public relations initiative much more efficiently than a centralized model:
+
+“I feel that the way Dash goes about its PR through community channels is great, giving a personalized touch to outreach. It probably doesn't reach as many people as organized campaigns with deep pockets, but for the money put into it, Dash's system is doing great. The excitement is palpable. Over time, you will see Dash's PR supplemented with proposals from the Core Team, and then we will have a well-oiled machine bringing the news of digital cash to the world.”
