Actually, I can confirm now that with the 4 vCPU and 16gb of ram, the blockchain finally fully synced. 2 VCPU and 8GB was not enough. Even now with the 16gb, dashd is using 65% of the memory on average and still peaking at 100% CPU usage from time to time, but this upgrade seems to have done...

Nothing seems to be working. I bought a 4 core VCPU with 16gb of ram. It is 2 days now and the blockchain has not been fully synced and the CPU usage is still consuming 150%. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I keep having an issue with 18.01 causing the complete consumption of CPU greater than 99% and then crashing. I have done everything including a complete reinstall, different versions of Ubuntu on Vultr and using 2 virtual CPUs even and still getting the high CPU consumption followed by a...

Thanks! and what's the command to upgrade sentinel again?

I agree with everyone here. I've been with Dash since the beginning. Execution and delivery is key in the crypto world and the Core team has been quite slow at this. Each week in crypto is like 1 year. The landscape of 2018 is drastically different than that of 2017 and for that matter...

The point isn't that we should dumb things down because many people are ignorant. The point here has to do with adopting characteristics of a usable currency. Dash is being positioned to function like a transactable currency not gold or silver or any other complex financial asset. It...

Yup, go buy Litecoin. The coin whose founder publicly tweeted about cashing out right at the top of the last bull run.

Just on a side note, I am meeting with a developer tomorrow who works on Bitcoin ATMs to discuss the feasibility of adding Dash. I will keep you guys posted and if all goes well, I will be putting together a proposal for funding through the DAO.

From skimming through this thread, I think that the biggest issue seems to be communication and project management. But to be fair, this seems to be a common issue across the vast majority of Crypto projects I've seen. I've also had exposure to technology/development teams within the finance...

All projects have setbacks, delays, hurdles and failures. This is how companies adapt and evolve. Go look at the histories of Apple and Amazon. The team also doesn't make announcements to pump the price of Dash. Look at the market right now, if anything, the exact opposite is happening due...

I don't think implementing smart contracts and side chains is a bad idea (if that is feasible). Anything can be put up for a proposal and proposed funding. With that said, people are not looking at this the right way. Dash not being on the top 10 right now just means that it is currently...

Can someone ban this clown already? Do you realize that no one here (on the OFFICIAL Dash forum which is filled with LONG TERM Dash supporters) cares about what you have to say? It's like going into the Republican HQ and telling everyone there that the Republican idealogy is crap. Seriously...

I think Troydash captured what I meant to say perfectly. In that we need to treat Dash just like a currency and not as an investment. These are 2 different concepts as I keep saying over and over. If we are positioning Dash as a currency, then it needs to adopt the characteristics of...

Nice!

Yocko, thank you for your comment. I do apologize as there seems to be a misunderstanding. When we are advocating for a redenomination, we are not doing so in order to convince people to buy DASH because it is cheap. Obviously not. When I talk about DASH to people, I discuss the potential...
