My participation in this weeks Self-custody challenge

You might have read my latest blog post on the importance of self-custody. If you haven't, you can check it out here:

Well, the concept of self-custody is one of the core philosophies of Dash, so they decided to put together a little contest incentivizing folks to practice using self-custody and privacy tools such as DashPay Mobile wallet.

There's a full-length blog post written right here on HIVE: https://peakd.com/dash/@dashpay/join-us-for-selfcustody-september-7pt

But if you want the TL/DR, these are the instructions:

1. Buy Dash anywhere
2. Withdraw to a self-custody wallet
3. Post screenshots (personal info redacted of course) to X of both the withdrawal and the received coins in your wallet
4. Tag @Dashpay

For this first week, they'll be giving away 10 Dash to randomly-selected users who follow the above instructions. Not bad, right?

This is my proof of purchase and withdrawal to my DashPay mobile wallet:

The transaction can be verified on-chain of course:

I hope you'll join the contest!

Requiring proof of both the exchange send and the wallet receive is a smart way to get people actually using self custody. Ten Dash this week is plenty of motivation. Does it have to be DashPay for the entry, or would a hardware wallet receive work too? Either way, nice excuse to check those seed backups still make sense.

Did it motivate you to participate?

Does it have to be DashPay for the entry?

No. But DashPay is awesome.
