Dear viewer, with last week having been a tutorial,
it has been two weeks since you have received your news update from DASH: Detailed,
and I intend to catch you up on everything that you need to know.
The past two weeks have been an absolute boon of businesses adding Dash.
In fact, I have eight to tell you about, and four for them are exchanges.
So to start, in the Business [& Headlines] category,
let me tell you about Bitcart.io,
who is launching their Dash integration in mere hours from right now.
Bitcart is an Ireland-based Amazon gift card reseller, who routinely offers 15-20% off
discounts for Amazon gift cards with Bitcoin.
And today, Dash becomes their third added cryptocurrency, after Ethereum.
So to learn more about what it is that they do, I reached out to their founder,
Graham de Barra.
So essentially, when someone comes with their Dash
and they go onto Bitcart and they make an order,
they can make an order anywhere between $50 to $1,000.
Denominations of usually $50.
They then send the Dash and within 24 hours they receive their Amazon gift card.
We can always guarantee between 15-20% of a discount for consumers.
We verify that the gift card is authentic
because there's a lot of risk of fraud and fraud management
and so we take on that risk and the management for that risk as well.
We've been looking at Dash for about 16-20 months and so this move was just natural.
It really, really was.
And I think that's going to bring a lot of new customers
and a lot more scalability to our business and we're very excited to have Dash on board.
The next business was submitted to me by a viewer — thank you —
that an airport parking company, aptly called "Airport Parking"
accepts Dash, as well as other cryptocurrencies,
for parking at the US cities of
Boston, Los Angeles, Newark, Providence, New York, and Denver.
Third is the photography service of a Dash community member you may well know —
Dave Bazzel.
You can find his work and the Dash-acceptance option at DaveBazzel.com.
And fourthly is LaciCloud, which is a brand-new, open-source, and FTP-based cloud storage company.
And, they're currently in private beta but you can request access to get started,
if you are interested.
Now moving into the exchange portion of our new businesses accepting Dash.
Dash has been added to Cryptobuyer.
Now, Cryptobuyer is based in Venezuela
and is now selling Dash for both debit and credit card purchases,
as well as accepting it for things like mobile phone top-ups.
And as you may know, the national currency in Venezuela is doing,
what some might call, "poorly."
To learn more about how Dash may be of use to customers in the area,
I reached out to Jorge Farias, who is the CEO and Founder of Cryptobuyer.
He says, The situation with the Bolivar has only worsened.
This week we've reached the highest point of devaluation of the currency,
with the official exchange rate being 10 Bs per USD,
but the black market reached 5,000 Bs per USD.
This gives you an idea of the lifeguards that are represented by the digital coins
Bitcoin and Dash,
not only as a method to transfer value, but to safeguard savings.
Jorge also reports that he believes that they are the first platform in Latin America
to add a second cryptocurrency after Bitcoin to their service offerings,
and that Dash was the most requested by their users.
In an effort to bolster Dash as a remittance tool on their platform,
the company released a new video — here's a short clip.
My name is Gleidys, I'm rom Venezuela.
Some months ago I moved to Panama.
Today, I'll transfer money to my dad through a system called Dash.
I already made the transfer, dad.
Excellent!
I just received 2 Dash.
Now, I'll exchange them into Venezuelan bolivars through Cryptobuyer.
And after Cryptobuyer there were three more exchanges to add Dash these past two weeks.
First is Tokyo-based CoinCheck.
Second is London-based SpaceBTC.
And the third is located in Thailand, called BX.in.
Perhaps a fitting way to wrap up this longest-ever Business & Headlines section of DASH: Detailed
would be to cite an article found on Entrepreneur.com this past week by Matthew Toren who said,
"Think of Dash as a replacement for PayPal."
Moving on to Network Statistics.
Today's masternode count is 4,417.
If you'll look at that on this lifetime chart, you will see that that is the highest
it's been since we made the switch to 12.1.
And it's quite very near the all-time high that was reached just prior to the switch.
In mining, today's hashrate is 3.35 Th/s.
And this also is an all-time high, which was actually first reached in the middle of March.
You can see that on our three month hashrate chart here.
Our one year hashrate chart.
And here's the lifetime.
And finally in Network Statistics,
allow me to remind you that the deadline for both submitting a new proposal to the network
as well as voting upon it,
is in five days from today, on or around Monday, May 1st.
Now moving to Development Updates.
12.1.5 has been released and it's not a mandatory update but rather is of course suggested
as they always are.
And it fixed only minor bugs — the primary one being that there were rare spikes of
the status of what's called "Watchdog expired" on some masternodes,
which basically meant that the masternode owner thought that they had to restart their
masternode when they didn't.
And that is the bug that was fixed in 12.1.5.
And as you'll see in this pie chart about 82% of the masternode network has indeed updated.
Next in Development Updates, the Dash integration into CryptoWoo is complete.
And our plugin is even featured in the CryptoWoo store!
In case you don't know what this plugin does,
it allows a merchant to basically place a "Pay with Dash here" onto their website,
and the payments then go directly to the merchant's own hierarchical deterministic wallet.
You don't need to know what that means.
All you need to know is that you can get one.
CryptoWoo then is available for any website that uses Wordpress and has installed the
WooCommerce plugin.
Elsewhere in Development Updates,
the Dash Core team published an update about a sort of reassignment of titles within their
particular organization.
Big news there is that Ryan Taylor is now CEO,
Evan Duffield is Strategy Advisor,
and Andy Freer is CTO.
Next, the treasury-funded effort from TenX
— the Singapore-based company TenX —
has launched their Dash debit card.
And at this time it only works in Singapore.
But it does work, and it looks lovely.
And in other Development Updates, there's not one,
but two, handy-dandy web conversion tools.
For anyone who is looking to convert a Dash to US dollars
or US dollars to Dash on the fly
— and actually British pounds and euros are supported on at least one of these sites.
But one is CoinRates, or I guess if I were to spell out the URL it would be CoinRat.es.
And the other is Dash.Price.Exchange.
And finally, some new guides have been released.
One is the creation of a Dash paper wallet
— how do I create a Dash paper wallet for cold storage?
And the other is both launching a Dash-supporting hardware wallet,
as well as if you hold a masternod within a hardware wallet — like a Trezor —
how to withdraw rewards that you have earned
without having to unlock your masternode's 1,000 Dash.
Moving to Price Movement.
Today's Dash-to-US dollar rate is roughly $72 — $72.19 to be exact.
Our trade volume for the last 24 hours is $8.7 million worth of Dash.
The coin supply as of today is just under 7.3 million coins.
Seven point three million Dash.
And our market cap then is roughly $524 million US dollars.
Let's look at our three month market cap chart then.
Our one year.
And our lifetime.
Our available funds from our treasury this month then are worth roughly $521,000 dollars,
of which $208,000 have been allocated thus far.
With the payout — the superblock — happening in eight days,
on or around Thursday, May the 4th.
And finally, lets just go ahead and combine Social Happenings and Current Opportunities.
Why?
Because it all has to do with Dash Force.
A lot of things have happened with the treasury-funded effort Dash Force
over the past couple of weeks.
First was that they launched their own news site found at DashForceNews.com,
where they've been publishing at least one, often more pieces every day.
Of special interest was a profile piece that was done on
the MMA Brazilian fighter Davis Dos Santos,
who's next Dash-sponsored fight is set to take place on June 16th.
And as far as opportunities, there are not one, not two, but three contests —
Dash Force contests — going on at this time,
which anyone can enter to earn Dash potentially.
The first is called the MVP Contest, and this will pay out $100 worth of Dash to five people
who have made the most valuable
and frequent contributions on sites like BTCTalk, the Dash Forum, the Dashpay subreddit, the
Dash Nation Slack, etc.
The second contest is a Video Contest, where the topic of a video that you would upload
to Youtube
— should you want to enter —
is, "Why I Believe Dash is the Best Cryptocurrency."
First prize is one Dash, second prize is 0.75 Dash, and third prize is half a Dash.
And then the third contest is for a meetup and/or a presentation —
something that you yourself would put on in the city, or village, or field where you live.
And as long as five or more people attend, and you've met various parameters as outlined
in this post,
you can win two or more Dash to reimburse you for your efforts.
Details about these contests are listed in the links in the description section below,
as with all of today's show links.
And that's it for DASH: Detailed today.
Before I let you go, may I please remind you, that it may not be apparent to every new Dash user,
that for example, our privacy offering — PrivateSend — is at this time, only available from the
Dash Core wallet.
They may think that if they just use any sort of mobile wallet
that all of their transactions are private.
And just to make sure there aren't any misunderstandings,
I would encourage you — anytime you show Dash to a new person — to mention to them,
"Why yes, we do offer privacy, however, at this time,
it's only available in this particular wallet"
to make sure there are no unmet expectations.
Alright, and that is it.
Come back this Friday for a Spotlight interview with Martijn Wismeijer
of the company General Bytes,
which is the competitively-priced Dash and fiat ATM.
See you then.
