When accepting DASH as payment, what are the main advantages, in your opinion? Have you faced any difficulties?

Share your DASH-related experience here!

I'm considering taking a loan with the Celsius Network and pledging some Dash as collateral. I'm based in the UK and apparently they work under a "sale and repurchase" agreement where I can buy back my Dash at the exact price I sold it at.

Any advice appreciated as to what the downsides could be? Or with the Celsius Network in general.

I know the whole "not your keys, not your coins" and am taking a risk trusting a 3rd party with my coins, but they seem to be a reputable company.... and I'd rather borrow against the Dash instead of selling it to get some much needed cash.

Plus, it'll only be about 10% of my total coins.

From what I can see it looks like Moo's masternodes that he is hosting for others are slowly getting kicked off the network. I hope he is doing ok and looking after himself. All the best Moo but I gotta leave ya, take care.

and in the DashCore transaction tab, it took 2 mins for a confirmation to show up (it was saying '0 confirmations, verified by instantsend' for the first 2 mins)

Some people have asked about the equity that is received in exchange for a quadency investment. I've learned that often Venture Capital is not that simple.

I understand this question, and will answer it below. However I would like to first say that I believe one of the main benefits of this proposal is the building out of a FastPass partner. This proposal helps round out the partnership and allows the Dash Network to support the FastPass network in a holistic way.

As is often the case it is very difficult to value private equity. As a result many investments utilize SAFE agreements. SAFE agreements are tied to a future funding round where a valuation is established. As an early investor takes more risk, the early investor gets the equity at a discount.

For the Quadency proposal, there is a SAFE agreement that the DIF is a party to if the proposal passes. This SAFE agreement would provide a 20% discount to a future valuation. 20% is fairly standard.

Also, by supporting Quadency with this proposal, the Dash Network is provided $20,000 of advertising building out the FastPass Network and branding. So the math is:

$100,000 goes in

and

equity and advertising comes out.

If Quadency has a second successful round then the equity would be worth $125,000 at the new valuation, and the network would have also received the $20,000 of advertising.

With best wishes,
