Hi All,
Not exactly new but a lot has changed in 3+ years! I was active in altcoins and altcoin mining back in 2014. I was one of the moderators for Auroracoin's Reddit sub and had a great time even if I was 3000 miles from Iceland. In that time, I've met many Icelanders however. I even got to speak with Rekjavik's former anarchist mayor, Jon Gnarr, about Auroracoin and Bitcoin at a dinner party once. Unfortunately (not for me but for AUR), AUR was a victim of too much press too early. A very favorable article about AUR was published on CryptoDesk on the VERY SAME DAY AUR went live on Cryptsy. I made a good deal of money (consider: I was mining on an ATI 6970 at $1/day and overnight my month's worth of mining ($30) turned into $1500. I got mine but I think a lot of people chased it all the way back to the bottom. That's when the FUD arrived and never went away. People still call it a scamcoin if they've heard of it at all. It's not, but it doesn't have nearly the features or amount of dev energy Dash does. Since that time it looks like A LOT of alts have changed, many for the better. Shoulda kept those DRK all those years back...
Then baby and house and I was out of the game for quite a while.
Now I'm back. I wanted to get into this space for a while, got lucky and paid $1500 for a D3 (november batch), and now have devised my plan to become a longstanding member of Dash. Basically, my plan is to sit on all the Dash I mine for 6 months. Then I'll split it: 25% to the wife on either a sexy Dash app on her phone or a Shake card, 25% for me (probably bills/debt), and the other 50% will go to helping acquire Dash MN shares. My wife and I will keep our 25% share of the miner in perpetuity, meant to be spent and facilitate 'circulation'. I think once my wife gets 'the bug' (i.e. her share), she'll become much more interested in Dash (and especially it's governance structure). FYI, I also purchased a SIA Obelisk and will be mining that as well, to reinvest in SiaFund shares, as well as will be hosting my NAS on Sia's cloud storage network.
I'm excited about Evolution as its roadmap lays over my own quite nicely: my miner will be coming up to its 6 mo mark about the time Ev. is meant to drop. I do have a few questions however...
How will Evolution affect Masternode Shares? And can a MN share's payout automatically invest into more MN shares or do we have to buy in 25D quantities?
