Great work by @lkngtn formalizing my initial proposal to start decentralizing @AragonProject. It's now an AGP!
Pappi @Petts5
Interesting proposals. I agree a temporary ability to override veto results if felt being manipulated for short term gains, but obviously would have to be reviewed in the future as the project becomes more decentralised

Thank you CT & @WilliamSuberg for reporting on #Dash. We're now close to 1000 @Dashpay accepting merchants in #Venezuela on http://DiscoverDash.com . The rapid rise in adoption particularly from merchants is remarkable. For more details please see - …
#Dash is seeing a surge in new merchants & @Dashpay wallet downloads in #Venezuela as hyperinflation runs wild. "We are seeing tens of thousands of wallet downloads from the country each month," Ryan Taylor, Dash Core Group CEO via @businessinsider
#Dash ambassador @rambrissi was interviewed yesterday by the largest investment bank in Latin America via @infomoney to talk about @Dashpay documentary & the important role of #cryptocurrencies in unstable countries such as #Venezuela & #Turkey .
Good news #Dash fans! @CoinCards are now accepting @Dashpay as a form of payment. http://Coincards.ca is a service that allows Canadians to purchase gift cards from hundreds of retailers in #Canada using $Dash.

As a follow up on my previous $HXX post, and to show some of the things I'm looking at, are the very low circulating supply (around 1.7 million) and the upcoming 10:1 fork of $BZX to $HXX holders and 1:1 for $BTC holders on Aug 31st. $HXX is also launching their own Dex pre-fork
Crypto Lemma [REKT] @crypto_lemma
Oh man there’s far too much for Twitter. You’ve only scratched the surface. I can DM you if you like but you should definitely also go and hear the other side. The people still in Hexx think all critics are part of some conspiracy to hold the coin back.
In reality most of us just don’t think it’s fair that people like you only get to hear the positivity they put out on twitter and discord. All questions and negativity has been surpressed. One of the main reasons they closed their telegram.
CryptoMan @E709Man
HEXX is it will have its own DEX very soon which is fantastic. I am a holder of HEXX and will keep hold of them for some time, its an interesting project. The price is so low right now and has been just of $16 before. You are also right, it has a real low circulating supply...
Dan Hedl @danheld
1/ Most people have misconceptions about PoW being "wasteful." Because this narrative is so popular, I've spent some time collecting my thoughts on its utility, efficiency, and morality. A thread:
Ryan Selkis @twobitidiot
Imagine a future where:
+ Bitcoin miners push the clean energy frontier
+ BTC becomes big enough to justify international mining treaties
+ Ultimately leads to a switch to proof-of-stake and low inflation
+ All that clean energy capacity gets repurposed
Not that far-fetched.
Dan Hedl @danheld
“that in order to make a man/woman covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.” - Mark Twain
A ledger can only be immutable if and only if it is costly to produce. The fact that PoW is “costly” is a feature, not a bug.
Until very recently, securing something meant building a thick wall around whatever is deemed valuable. The new world of cryptocurrencies is unintuitive and weird - there are no physical walls to protect our money, no doors to access our vaults.
Bitcoin’s public ledger is secured by its collective hashing power: the sum of all energy expended to do the work in its proof-of-work chain.
When Satoshi wrote “One CPU one vote” he was fundamentally changing how consensus is formed from political votes to apolitical hashes via the conversion of energy. PoW is proof of burn, or the validation that energy was burnt. Why is that important?
It's the most simplistic and fair way for the physical world to validate something in the digital world. PoW is about physics, not code. Bitcoin is a real asset, minted from energy, the fundamental commodity of the universe
The rate of ASIC efficiency improvement is slowing. As efficiency gains slow we can expect an increase in manufacturer competition as margins narrow. All-in mining will shift from the upfront accessibility cost of ASIC hardware to the ongoing energy costs to operate
Mining then moves directly to where electricity is being produced. Any application that is willing to pay higher than the rate of return on Bitcoin mining will be prioritized, which is a majority of processes (ex: your dishwasher is willing to pay more for the electricity)
The cost of Bitcoin mining becomes the lowest (excess) value of electricity. This will solve a major problem with renewable energy - variable output. Now energy producers can plug in miners, and store the excess power as bitcoin.
In thermodynamics, the universe is the ultimate closed system. Bitcoin’s utilization of the excess electrical capacity consumes magnitudes less electricity than existing fiat systems which need to power banking infrastructure, and the military/political machina
The energy tradeoff for the utilization of that electricity to secure the financial system backbone is a “net positive” outcome from an environmentally conscious perspective
Some complain that Bitcoin mining doesn’t accomplish “anything useful” like finding prime numbers. While introducing a secondary reward for doing the work might seem like a good idea, it actually introduces a security risk
Splitting the reward can lead to a situation where “it’s more worthwhile to do the secondary function that it is to do the primary function”. Bitcoin will never have this problem. Specialization (ASICs) provides a clear cost of capital calculations for attacks

Philip Lavergne
market update,
I broke this situation down to 2 most likely scenarios (in my opinion)
we retrace with the ETF rejection but hold support in low 6s once again, leads to a very strong bullish momentum, shorts closing and we will blast through (because the reason why no one is buying or even selling / shorting = ETF denied)
we fully retrace, break support (with ETF) and expand to downside to test year lows and even pretty likely break it. Then this was all a fakeout before the real move
Read it, try to understand it and act accordingly

I don't think the market will even react, nobody is expecting this etf to get approved

Bitmex had the highest pump, it touched $7100
This $700 candle was an internal profit for Bitmex..
- they announced maintenance, making sure guys CLOSE their active orders
- they now had the exact math, how high to liquidate all
- on bitmex it pumped more than anywhere else..
It is a clear sign of manipulation.
Omer Adel
It was obvious from the beginning cause a few hours before the short squeeze occurred the whales were busy accumulating buy positions on hidden but what gave it away was the massive tether orders right before bitmex went down. Fortunately i longed at 50x right before the shutdown
Sean Davies
Bitmex pumped more due to liquidating. Maintenance was already known, shorts at ath was already known. If seeings shorts at ath didn’t tell you we were going to pump at some point, then there is nothing that would have helped you.
Logan Roy
Looks like we broke the ceiling again folks!!
BUY rec: #OmiseGo / #Cardano / #IOTA / #SALT (my current portfolio) all tokens that have bottomed and are due for a surge soon. Also keep an eye out on #ETH (which may fall down to $240 range before consolidating; otherwise it will moon to $700+ (LONG) which is a smart bet to double your ROI for a mid-long term two or three month max safe HODL.
For all you swing-traders (myself included) set your alert(s) & sell-limits/stop-loss...es @ $7200 (resistance) $6700 (stop) as we fluctuate between support lines.
Safe Trading all! History does repeat itself.
Kris Bee
Any thoughts on DeepBrainChain?
Logan Roy
I don't like the term "shitcoin" so I'll refer to that as a "lower-market cap coin/token" & on that note I'm sorry. I don't bother conducting TA on any coin or token below top 100 market cap unless the whitepaper is intriguing to me.
Nick Vanduric
Why do you think it’s at bottom. They all break resistance , and the only trend is down until clear signs of reversal ...
Btw you already broke your stop loss on bitcoin ....
Eth has head and shoulder and the neckline @285 is now resistance …
Omer Adel
you do realize the market is being heavily manipulated right?
Sean Ryan
Like clockwork, whales accumulated on finex and gdax the past 3 days, shorts piled into them. Wait until mex goes down for scheduled maintenance and then unleash the beast. Great to be long, but this is why we can’t have nice things (yet).
Ryan Gooding
More like last 2-3 weeks but yeah we knew something was brewing. Great to be long indeed...
Sean Ryan
Yea, I just particularly noticed it between 6300-6450. Never know which way they will take it, but waiting for mex to be down is the type of manipulation nobody wants. If one exchange can have that much effect there is a problem. Baakt will hopefully solve this in the near future.
Ryan Gooding
We’re all just early to the party
Chris Simms
BTC Update!
Jumping off chart from last Friday. We were range bound between $6200-low $6600's. I was personally taking the weekend off and really didn't miss a thing with just a bunch of sideways action.
I was watching ideally for a bull break and short squeeze up towards $6800-7000 area to play or at least to daily 26 EMA and we finally got it yesterday. We topped out at $6890 so right in middle of range. I personally had entered majority of my position at $6480 playing off ...a change of the 4 hour lower highs and when we broke that pattern, I entered. I then scaled out low $6800's and stopped out on remainder in high $6600's just to lock in/protect those profits. So I am personally back to cash as we got the setup I was waiting for.
It played out slightly different on daily chart in we had a small bear break the other day to form a higher low at $6228 (but still held our range bound area). This is now a key low for me to watch and bulls will want to hold above that. I continue to believe they will fail on it and we fall back under $6k but that is level I am watching now.
The bull break last night was played from a couple of different angles. On 4 hour chart we had a nice downward trend line to watch due to the lower highs we were seeing. A break above trend line or above the most recent lower high, which is how I chose to play it, but it was also conveniently timed with BitMex going down for maintenance. This no doubt in my mind fueled the bulls to take up long positions knowing BitMex is the largest exchange for shorting. Shorts are now trapped if they have no stops set and bulls can force shorts to liquidate and create a short squeeze which is what we saw.
I am not impressed with the consolidation we are seeing other than bulls are just barely hanging on to our prior resistance (low $6600's) as support currently. But daily looks more of a reversal candlestick if we don't close up higher towards $6700+ today so need to see bulls bring price back up a bit. Certainly could happen but I'm perfectly happy and comfortable already back to cash with profits locked up. I'll again be away for the weekend and into early next week so likely just relaxing and away from any trades. We have another ETF tomorrow to likely be denied so perhaps we see a bear break on that news and can catch an oversold bounce play if so.
Just My 2 Sats!
Update: and down we come back below my entry. Exactly why I continue to lock those profits in and just move on to the next trade setup. Zero confidence in the bulls or in working around manipulation within the market. Just take the pumps, exit, and wait for the next low risk entry
Jacob Bush
This article makes the argument that today’s privacy coins only give us privacy in a very limited sense because through transaction pattern analysis and social engineering it is possible to deduce some information about the participants. For that reason, privacy coins must extend beyond transactions. A great read on some of the implications crypto projects of today could influence the world of tomorrow.

How to sustainably grow Dash´s Ecosystem?
by DashEmbassyD-A-CH
Dash Infrastructure Program
First concept draft to be discussed in the community
Problems and pains in the current Dash Ecosystem
In our opinion one of the biggest problems in the current Dash Ecosystem is that the Dash DAO spends huge amounts of money on infrastructure projects to integrate Dash as a means of payment in several services without getting any benefits except for the integration itself. Meanwhile other Cryptocurrencies don´t pay a single Cent for those integrations.
We spend a lot of money in projects which might turn their back on us after receiving a funding or use their developments and services for other currencies.
Past voting cycles showed that those infrastructure and integration proposals are still popular, which we guess is because of the impact people believe they will have for future mass adoption.

Where is the best place to buy Dash (lowest commission)? Thinking of investing $10 000...
by JeNeSaisPasDeux
I just read about Dash's takeover in Venezuela and considering investing $10 000 CAD, is that too risky of a move?
ThisMustBeTrue
There's a huge potential upside and also downside. If losing $10 000 CAD won't damage your financial security too significantly, then the possible upside is worth the risk.
https://uphold.com/ would probably be the easiest place for you to buy Dash, but I doubt it's the lowest commission.
Maybe https://www.kraken.com/ would be lowest commission?
Here's a list of places that trade Dash. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/#markets
Nunoyabiznes
Well, looking at a price chart of Dash might put some reality into your choices. I don’t think DASH has taken over anything or shown any upside yet. It’s a good coin with a strong team but please read more than one article about Venezuela before you invest money.

200 merchants per month are signing up to accept Dash in Venezuela, according to the Dash Core Group, and the rate of adoption is accelerating.
"We are seeing tens of thousands of wallet downloads from the country each month," said Ryan Taylor, the CEO of the Dash Core Group. "Earlier this year, Venezuela became our number two market even ahead of China and Russia, which are of course huge into cryptocurrency right now."

iRespo ICO failed. We will return the gathered funds today.
by iRespo
Our ICO has ended.
Unfortunately we did not manage to gather enough funds to continue the project in the shape presented in the whitepaper.Therefore we decided to return all the funds gathered during ICO.
The transactions - both PayPal returns and EOS returns will be done today.
People that took part in the ICO may keep their IRESPO tokens.
However, we decided to withdraw our exchange listing applications as the project cannot be developed at the moment.
UPDATE: both PayPal and EOS returns have been made

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER
by worbli
The WORBLI Billion Token Airdrop will be taking place after our network launch on the 14th September to all EOS mainnet token holders.
EOS Token holders will receive 1 WORBLI (WBI token for every EOS token they hold (1000 EOS = 1000 WBI).
To claim their airdrop, the token holder will enter their public key through our portal to access their WORBLI Portal, and the AirDropped tokens!
We're taking a mainnet snapshot on the 7th of September and the WORBLI Portal will be live on the 14th September for users to claim their tokens!
Fortunately, and because token and account creation happens on the WORBLI Network, it means account creation costs a tiny amount, and we're aiming for less than $0.01!

Why Everipedia will fail
by puma2311
Everipedia will fail to acquire traffic from search engines such as Google (SEO). People visit wiki sites from search engines. Everipedia has zero SEO presence on Google. They don't rank for anything except their own name. This is because they copied all their content from Wikipedia and Google's algorithm has already deemed them as a spam website. Their potential for SEO traffic is near zero.
Everipedia does not actually provide intrinsic value for their coin. You can't use their coin for anything except to trade it on the exchange. No one has a demand for the coin except people who want to manipulate a page for their own agenda. However, because they don't get any SEO traffic (see above), not even those people will care.
Their curation system is based on who has more IQ tokens - not by who is actually right. If you want to mess up a page or change the content, all you need is to acquire lots of IQ. People will lose trust in their content. Conversely, Wikipedia is supported by a community of volunteers.

EOS: AirDrop vs. ICO
by curiosityhover1
Why does it seem that there are hardly any ICO for EOS projects? But there are many AirDrops on EOS?
Is this just a general trend of the entire blockchain industry? Or is it only peculiar for EOS blockchain? And why?
BluaBaleno
There are several reasons, for one, since transactions are basically free on the EOS blockchain, it is much easier to do airdrop on EOS.
Second is that airdrops skirts around security laws thereby making it much easier to conduct versus ICOs.
And most EOS projects that do airdrops don't have anything to show yet, making it much harder to raise funds. As they show progress on their project, people start buying up the tokens.
Thirdly, I think people are pretty tired of ICOs. Most of these projects have raked in millions of dollars with nothing to show for. Airdrops provides an alternative, holding the developers accountable rather than trusting them outright with a large sum of money and hoping they won't run away.

Does paying back dai or locking more peth up lower your liquidation point more or does it make any difference?
by sargontheforgotten
So if I have some eth and want to lower my liquidation threshold which is better, locking or reducing debt?
Rich_at_makerdao
The best way to lower your risk of liquidation is to repay DAI, which also has the added benefit of reducing the amount of fees you accrue on your position.
Assuming:
The value of one ETH is 350USD
The total staked PETH is 12
The ratio of PETH/ETH is 1.012
The Liquidation Ratio is 150%
The Stability Debt is 1000 DAI
Current Liquidation Price:
(1000 × 1.5 ) ÷ (12 × 1.012) = 123.51 USD
Liquidation Price change by adding 700 USD worth of collateral:
(1000 × 1.5 ) ÷ (14 × 1.012) = 105.87 USD
Liquidation Price change by removing 700 USD worth of debt:
(300 × 1.5 ) ÷ (12 × 1.012) = 37.05 USD
We can see that the Liquidation Price is significantly reduced by returning DAI as opposed to adding more collateral.

by wilsoncusack
giltotherescue
At Gilded we competed in a hackathon last weekend where we used the Wyre API to create a simple tool that helps you purchase DAI with USD and have it deposited straight into your MetaMask account. It will take us a few weeks to clean it up and make sure it is extremely secure and ready for production. Look for a post from Maker soon where they may post some details about this and other projects from the hackathon.

QuadrigaCX Randomly suspended my account with 700k in it, with no email no nothing.
by eitherproduce
I have a quadrigacx account with 108 BTC (719K USD) and randomly for literally no reason my account has been "suspended". I sent them a ticket 24 hours ago and no response. If I don't have access to my account within 48 hours I will file a lawsuit against Quadriga, it's unbelievable how these people can hold your funds hostage with the click of a button. I am removing all of my money from this scam service as soon as I get it back, (if I do).
My client ID is : 37207
Just so you know, when you have money on Quadriga, the money doesn't belong to you, it belongs to them.
Upvotes for visibility greatly appreciated. If they can randomly suspend an account with 700k in it without sending a single email explaining what's going on, and ghosting me for over 24 hours, it really shows what kind of scummy bullshit business they are running.
B00j
Chances are your account is under investigation for laundering or something else. They're not required to inform you in this situation and if I'm not mistaken I don't think they're actually allowed to tell you if they're working with a federal investigation.
Do your due diligence in any situation, reach out on social media, start a ticket, file a claim etc. Just cover your bases so when the time comes you can show you are entitled to the assets.

Quorums in Dash
Alexander Block
In this post, I’d like to describe what quorums in Dash are and what they solve. I’d also like to explain the problems with these and why we can’t easily scale these or use them for new use cases. Initially, this was part of another post that I’m writing at the same time and which I’m going to release sometime after this one. Basically, in this post I will try to describe what Quorums are, what they are currently used for and what their current limitations are. The next post will then give an answer on how we plan to solve these issues once and for all.
What are Quorums?
A quorum is a collection of entities that are able to vote on something. Every member is generally allowed to vote only once. If >= 51% vote for the same thing, majority is reached. Something either got the majority of votes or not, there should be nothing in between.
This is useful if the likelihood of disagreement is too high, which for example is the case when it comes to propagation of transactions and handling of conflicts if they arise. Bitcoin introduced a policy to handle this, which is the first-seen policy. Dash inherited this policy. It basically means that if a conflict arises (e.g. a double spending transaction) the first seen transaction is the only one a node should accept and propagate while ignoring all others.

MyWish Creates the First Smart Contracts Supported By EOS Blockchain.
Vladimir Tikhomirov
What is the Token Smart Contract?
The Token Smart Contract is supposed to be used for creating a personalized cryptocurrency. This, in turn, is used for running your own ICO or any other blockchain project. Personalized cryptocurrency could also be used for sale, distribution or crowdsale programs. The platform gives you a huge opportunity and all the rest is just a matter of your crypto potential. The ball is in your court.
Real talk. Why should you choose to create Tokens on EOS over any other blockchain?
Right after you create the Token Smart Contract on EOS Blockchain, you need to be prepared for the fastest possible speed of the transactions’ execution. That has a potential to scale to millions of transactions per second. DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) modification is responsible for the instant transfer of your cryptocurrency.
Whatever the reason for you creating your own Token Smart Contract hosted on EOS, you will definitely save money. EOS requests no gas for your transactions.
You don’t have to know any programming skills to write a complex code for your Smart Contract to automate and secure your activities on the EOS Blockchain. The MyWish Smart Contract Platform has your back!

What the Ram!?
LiquidEOS
EOS Mainnet launched just over two months ago and it’s fair to say that it has been an exhilarating time as well as a tremendous learning curve. As a community, we have come together to launch what is arguably the most promising blockchain entity to date. Being the first experiment of its kind in decentralized governance, we have achieved some major milestones thus far- a record breaking 3700 TPS and over 10 million blocks produced. However, nothing of this magnitude or transformative potential comes easily or kink-free.
It’s been a great pleasure working alongside the other BPs and EOS community members to brainstorm and solve a series of issues that have arisen; from RAM prices, to fine-tuning and working out the details of arbitration, BP compliance and responsibilities, to scaling and achieving wide scale adoption — there is never a dull moment.
One topic that has constantly been at the forefront of discussion has been the issue of RAM. So what the RAM is going on!?

Cryptocurrencies is one of the most important inventions since the inception of the web. They are ushering in a new era of decentralization, privacy, and control of one’s own data that has the potential to revolutionize many parts of society. There are currently over one thousand cryptocurrencies in use, with hundreds more being released each year. Their combined market cap has grown from $10 billion in 2016, to over $400 billion at the time of writing, having previously been much higher. Only 1% of the world’s population own cryptocurrency. Companies involved with blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies and altcoins are expected to experience significant growth over the coming years. Blockchain technology can solve dozens of previously intractable problems, like digital identities, supply chain integrity, data breaches and many, many more.

Blockchain is the fastest growing market in the world and Aligatocoin token offers investors an opportunity to benefit from the growth in value. The age of blockchain technology is just beginning.
