We’re happy to highlight yet another addition to the <a href="http://about.bitwa.la/bitwala-accepting-all-major-cryptocurrencies/" target="_blank">list of accepted Altcoins and Cryptocurrencies</a>: Dash! Welcome to the family! You can now use Dash to pay for your bills, send out international bank transfers and use it to top up your <a href="http://about.bitwa.la/get-the-bitwala-bitcoin-debit-card/" target="_blank">Bitwala Debit Card</a>. It’s fast, cheap and convenient.
<h2>Dash? What's that?</h2>
Dash is a cryptocurrency much like Bitcoin. It is in fact based on the Bitcoin software, but has tweaked it a little. The major change is an improvement of privacy when making transactions. Transactions on the Dash network are not traceable, completely maintaining the privacy of the parties involved. It comes with a mixing protocol that is using so-called Masternodes that replace the need for a trusted third party. The Masternodes also confirm transactions instantly, thus reducing the risk of double-spending attacks.

<h2>Dash has never been more successful!</h2>

Especially the announcement of major wallet providers <a href="https://wallet.mycelium.com/" target="_blank">Mycelium</a> and <a href="https://jaxx.io/" target="_blank">Jaxx</a> to include Dash into their Bitcoin wallets has given the project some fresh attention, driving the<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/" target="_blank"> marketcap to an all-time high</a>.
