"Yeah that would be the Dash Wallet for iOS. Username support is coming soon but it's live in the Android version (key iOS dev left and his replacement is being trained). But the iOS version currently out should have privacy features as well as a great spending tool try those out"

"Bitcoin's mempool (queue of transactions waiting to be processed) is almost completely empty. The percentage of miner revenue coming from fees (instead of inflation) is down to a fraction of a percent. 😱 Simply put almost all of Bitcoin's actual users have gone away. At all-time price highs too We're facing a major crisis. Either the Bitcoin network goes bankrupt undergoes major changes or the asset becomes a completely custodial asset run by governments and institutions"

"It's a good question to ask yourself. My answer: I don't think so. Because: 1) I don't really think any project I'm actively involved in is really in a bad spot/failing right now (so therefore no scapegoat needed) 2) All my reasons for things I'm not satisfied with aren't very "excuse-y": it's stuff like "the tech needs overhauling in these key areas" and "we failed at getting across our message to enough people" and "these people (including me) didn't work hard enough" I may have had some BDS about Dash from 2020-2022 or so but after facing some real problems and especially after actually"

"Well I mentioned the first five. In the latest five the Evolution chain with novel data contracts and decentralized indexed data where you don't need to run or trust a node or an indexer to use. Another first (or very early implementation). Even with that the Dash DAO fired a previous team in 2022 for slow/under-performance. I get the feeling that eCash could probably do the same. No project has it all and I'm sure every one would want more dev capacity but if I held significant XEC I would be asking tough questions right now"

"There's this phenomenon in crypto I call Bagholder Derangement Syndrome (BDS). Basically an investor buys a heavy bag of a crypto based on a set of assumptions: XYZ attributes are the future and any crypto with them will do amazingly. Things don't work out. Either the price stagnates adoption doesn't happen hype does whatever. Over time they don't challenge their base assumptions or reevaluate why those assumptions may not have applied to their investment. Instead they develop BDS. With BDS they fixate on a single tiny largely irrelevant factor and make it out in their mind to be the one"

"One of my biggest "side quests" over the past couple years is finally in motion I got into crypto in 2012/2013 for radical financial sovereignty and privacy is an essential part of this. Dash is the best shot at mass adoption of something actually decentralized but its first feature privacy needed a tune-up. The first of many tune-ups is incoming now"
