Nothing.

You are asking blockcypher company to offer their uptime services and substitute the InstantSend service of the masternodes network with blockcypher's proprietary service, and you are saying that there is no technical reason for the masternodes number to increase?
As long as you need blockcypher's uptime services, It is obvious that you consider that the masternodes are not enough in order to serve the numerous of merhants and clients that you expect them to arrive.

It's not a substitute, it's an option businesses will have, should they adopt Dash. Our DAPI isn't ready yet.
 
Be honest. If you vote for blockcypher , and the DAPI is ready, then how many people do you think they will use InstantSend?
Let me see if I understood your question: When blockcypher integration is complete, and our DAPI is also functional, how many dash users will use native instantsend instead of blockcypher's implementation. Is that correct?

As long as they are using Dash, I don't care if they prefer to use a third party. Personally, I would go the decentralized route.

correct.

You should care, because if 99% will chose to use the third party service, then the masternodes will become useless.
And if the masternodes become useless, then why the Dash community to pay them and to give them voting rights?
Masternodes are shooting their own foot, dont you see that?

They transform themseves from service providers to voting holders. And this is bad, because nobody respects someone who only votes and does not work (not to mention that most of the masternodes neither vote nor work, and this is even worse)

I don't feel the need to justify the existence of masternodes. I vote for what adds value to Dash.

(and no, even if 99% of users use blockcypher, the masternodes won't become useless)
 
People will get fed up of elitist MNOs just like they do with elitist bankers, I fail to see the difference. When MNOs are being paid God knows how much each month with the sole purpose of keeping a server running and making a few dumb decisions, people will just ask why and walk away.. I mean, it will be just another Paypal. For even if that was profitable, imo it's a bit dull and short-sighted. And besides, what sane business person would hire one person per server when one person can manage tens or hundreds? ... oh wait a minute, that's already the case...

If you vote to outsource to centralized companies most of the services that the masternodes are offering , you do not add real value to dash. You are temprorarily pleasant to the spies and to the agents, and thats the reason why your dollar price (and not your value) temprorarily increases. They are paying you, in order to destroy you.

Instead of becoming the independant digital cash that will change the world, you become dollar's whore.

Yes, there are bad apples. I named two of them. Right along with dipshits who want 50DASH MNs...

The whole point of the big chunk, and not making it more granular... Oh forget it. You only see your snowflake demands.

The homeless drunk in front of of the building doesn't get to be on the board of directors. He can throw a tantrum about it if he wants, but that attitude is why he's a homeless drunk.

@moocowmoo is a kickass dude. If you haven't applied yourself to winning in a sufficient manner to hodl a whole MN, he is one of a handful of people who will help you out. That's the option you've got for the choices you've made, and he is under no obligation to help an assclown. It's charity. You aren't owed anything. You are not entitled.

If you adjust your attitude, you could afford an MN. Or 10... Or... You don't get to stomp your foot like an angry bitch until some weak pansy gives you free stuff. You're not even wearing a push-up bra; what's in it for us even if were were dumb enough to consider it?

It's not supposed to be fractional. For a reason. Get the fuck over it.

Step the fuck up instead of demanding that others lower the bar to your level.
 
Sodl when should hodl. Hodl when should sodl
It's a DASH meme. I created it. Had you paid any attention at all for the last 3 years, you'd know that. But you didn't. So you don't. Which is why you lose, and why you're here acting like an entitled brat.

Why not call me out for beginning a sentence with a conjunction, dangling a participle, or ending a sentence with a preposition? Because I did all of those things.

Because you can't even pick the correct "their" before trying to name-call over something you should have known had you done even a tiny bit of research or paid attention to anything at all in the cryptosphere for the last 3 years...

You lost out because you're a stereotypical millennial snowflake cryptotard. You can be offended, or you can stop being 2 of those things. This is your lesson. Learn it, or "be offended" and keep losing.

Welcome to adulthood. Nobody gives a shit.

We are not outsourcing anything. We are subsidizing a firm that already provides crypto-related services to integrate Dash so it becomes available to their userbase. It will be a nudge towards solving the chicken-and-egg adoption problem. Most businesses don't want to deal with maintaining full nodes or developing software just so they can accept Dash.

Of course this is what you are doing.
But by deciding that way, this causes the casualities and the collateral damages I mentioned.
Your frivolous actions will have consequences, not necessarily to your (always perishable and temporary) wealth, but certainly to your honor.

Clearly you haven't read anything I've written. So here I go again if you can get it through your thick skull. Masternode shares- It's a great service, sure. But who is Moocowmoo, who is Splowiks? And what happens to my Dash if these 2 people die in a car accident or anything similar? Do you see what I'm saying. Whatevs, I'm not arguing with you anymore, no need.

I'm the one with the thick skull?

What do you think happens? Duh. You'd lose them. Of course I know what you're saying. Why are you repeating a rhetorical question to which everyone already knows the answer while pretending I don't know?

That's why you should sack up and quit crying for everyone else to lower the bar for you. It's not gonna fuckin' happen. Hillary and Obama can't shut off gravity so you can flap your arms and fly away. No, gravity is not an evil republican conspiracy designed to keep a brotha' down. Gravity. It's not just the Law; it's a good idea!

I already tagged Moo', so I won't nag him again.

@splawik21

I'm glad you don't want to argue about it. I'll tell you the same thing I tell cops that try to start shit with me; "I'm not arguing, either. You're wrong. I'm right."

Who wants to put up with you after this? You're a snowflake spaz... Part of what makes them great guys is that they put up with me, so who knows... ;-)

You said "And masternode network not only used for InstantSend but for many services of Evolution." . This refers to the present and the past, and it is obviously a lie.

But lets suppose that you refer to the future.
So please name the future services of the upcoming evolution version, that will need exclusively the masternodes network (and not a centralized company like blockcypher, coinfirm e.t.c.)

In future we will have following services: Decentralized Oracle, Decentralized API, Decentralized web-based wallet,... and much more.
 
Large investors don't make prices more stable. You should have seen the Dash selloff yesterday. The chat in Poloniex was exploding with people saying "manipulation" and "whale games" because of the large candles of masternodes selling they're 1000 at a time.

Maybe, some short-term investors thought that enough for them and they sold their holding, and that is a good chance for new committing investors.

And in the long run, we will have better and better investors come and stay with us, and the coming years, many of short-term thinkings will regret about selling Dash with current price.
 
There`s always a second (safe) plan even if we get hit by bus ;)
Masternode Shares is only a temporary solution, accept it or reject it. Not obligatory at all right?

I'm just a python hacker that's studied a lot of crypto and likes to

build moderately useful software:

tinker with extrapolations:

write tech docs:

and wrangle servers:
https://masternode.me

My share disbursements and signed reports are fully automated:
https://masternode.me/downloads/payment_report.txt

And, if I don't log into my dev box for a month, all deposits get sent back to their origination addresses by that same system.
Each deposit is documented, an origination address is selected by majority contribution, and signed by my gpg key.
https://masternode.me/downloads/deposit_receipt.txt

I do everything I can to be transparent in communication and efforts.
I run shares as a community service, not a business. Is why I don't advertise.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

back to coding.... :)
