Dash News

1st) We sent an InstantSend transaction to the machine, because the article I read this morning said that CoinFlip is now supporting Dash InstantSend. However, when we went to withdraw the dollars after making the Dash deposit, the machine said that it was still waiting for confirmations. So has InstantSend support not been rolled out yet, even though the Dash integration has?

2nd) We tried another transaction, and this time, my Android (Hash Engineering) Dash wallet said there weren't enough funds to pay the InstantSend fee. Which is crazy -- there was more than enough Dash on there to cover the fee. Tried sending again with a lesser amount of Dash this time -- same error. Has anyone else had this problem trying to use InstantSend with the Android Dash wallet?

Thanks.

Just wondering when this spork will be turned on, as it looks like nearly 80% of the masternodes have upgraded. Will the spork be turned on automatically when we reach 80%, or will one of the dev's turn it on manually?

South Korea has long been know as an early adopter for new technology. They represent less than 1% of the world's population, but various estimates suggest that 30% of all the crypto investing and trading in the world happens in S. Korea.

They were quick to adopt camera phones and smart phones. Koreans created the first online microtransactions and MMORPG's (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games).

" South Korea has also been the worldwide leader in broadband technologies and adoption since the late ‘90s and the leader in wireless technologies and adoption. "

S. Korea is a pretty good leading indicator of what the next big thing is going to be. Dash in particular and crypto in general are going to do well. Buy the dips.
