Decrease the master node limit from 1000 dash to 200 dash

[lynx]

Are you kidding me? It was a DDOS of 2000 static IP nodes against 4000 static IP nodes. What if a new DDOS occurs, from 8000 dynamic IP nodes?

What if a state decides to ban the whole dash network, or to DDOS it? Having static IPV4 means that you have no chance at all to survive in that case. You are 100% vulnerable to whoever central authority wishes to ban you. And I wonder, did you designed that way your network on purpose, in order NOT to survive in that case?

Why did you implemented such an awfully insecure network design, and why do you still refuse to secure your network by increasing the number of nodes?

Because this problem is not solved by increasing the number of nodes.

Please explain why DASH would need 500% more masternodes?

The level of service provided is at leas 12x more than any other coin's so-called "full nodes."

Even if we treat DASH like a bitclone, it still has over 4000 dedicated "full nodes" hosted in major datacenters with unlimited pipe. Bitcoin doesn't even have that.

Lets ignore mixing or IX (because it's broken).

2MB block size and 4x as many blocks in the same timeframe. That's 8x the TX capacity with over 4000 nodes dedicated to doing nothing but. While BTC is still running on home computers with residential broadband, arguing about forking for block size...

Bitclones are generating drama over issues that DASH has already made obsolete.

So is the OP.

Keeping the master nodes at 1000 dash is good i think, then only the serous dash supporters can be involved with voting and make good votes for the rest of the community.

Right thought

...serous dash supporters....

Those people who did not succumb to the screams of the trolls for 2 years and believed in the uniqueness of the project
Now everyone can buy the right to vote but for serious money now
This is life and it's fair

For beginners option to buy 250 coins and wait for a good price to have a vote with masternode

The Dash project will deflate like a bubble, together with bitcoin, if you do not respect the future generations.
At that time, the advertisers who are spreading your lies across the ignorants, wont help you.

Because this problem is not solved by increasing the number of nodes.

If you increase the number of nodes, and at the same time you introduce dynamic IPs and/or Tor gateways in order to hide in case of an DDOS attack or a state ban, then the problem may be solved.

If you implement Tor, the problem may be solved without increasing the number of nodes.

As much as I love tor and would push for it's use, it is not a true transport layer and is problematically high latency.

In some ways it imitates a transport layer, but it's function is still dependent upon TCP. Protocol overhead on top of protocol overhead on top of protocol overhead...

Never underestimate the democrats... Just when you think they can't stoop any lower, they find a way... Oh, wait, wrong forum. ...or is it?

Yes of course. In order to have a truly secure and independant transport layer, you shouldnt rely at the state's backbone. You should use your own private backbones implemented (at least in the urban areas) with optical wireless mesh networks. In that case you really need a lot of nodes! 4000 nodes are not enough even for a single (big) town.

But of course Dash is designed to be a state dependant currency and to be easily banned by the state in case of emergency, because those were the imposed requirements. Dash may be temporarily used as a Troyan horse in order to attack foreign countries economies, but it shouldnt hurt the monetary system of the primary state which controls Dash. This is the underlying reason why the maximum number of the masternodes has been set to 10000 static IPs. Everything should be under control, and in case of emergency the total ban of the Dash network should be three clicks away.

The problem is not solved, because tor is not a real transport layer, you still rely at the backbone of the state. If you want to be really free, you need to implement your own private transport layer, and in that case you need millions of nodes wordwide.

This is how the cryptocurrency mesh network of the future should look like.

Fon's network (which is used of course for a different purpose) teaches us that we need at least 20000000 nodes to only cover europe. And of course if we want to be really state intependant we should not even rely on the commercial network providers (like Fon is doing). We should expect for every masternode to have at least two private wireless optical connections with nearby masternodes.
