Introduction to DASH, masternodes and DashCentral services

  1. What is DASH?
    • DASH is a digital currency comparable to Bitcoin
    • In digital currencies, coins can be transferred securely and irreversible from one digital wallet to annother wallet
    • There is no bank or other central authory involved in the transfer of coins. Therefore payments can not be stopped and coins can not be frozen.
    • DASH can be transferred anonymously. Payments are confirmed to the recipient within 1 minute. With Bitcoin, payments can be traced and it takes 30 minutes to confirm a payment.
    • The Bitcoin project has no funding. With DASH, 10% of the coins are directed to development, marketing and law. Currently 2722 masternode owners vote, to which project the funds should go each month. You see, the distribution of the funds is decentralized, so it can not be taken down.

    • The setup of one masternode requires the masternode owner to lock 1000 DASH within his own wallet (1000 DASH = 23764 USD)
    • Every 6-7 days the masternode operator earns about 1.6 DASH from the blockchain for running the service
