This potential problem assumes that the vast majority of masternode owners just sit around and do nothing. Let's think about it: a) Proposals have to be submitted about 96 hours before superblocks are created. It takes 72 hours for a proposal to "mature" and become valid, and then budget...

The proposal fee in 12.1 was originally slated to be reduced to 0.33 DASH. Unfortunately, this change was reversed and the fee remains 5 DASH. At the present exchange rate, creating a proposal costs about $110. Hello all! Most of you know me, but for those who don't, I'm David Dinkins. I do...

Agreed. It's like the "major exchange" proposal: we could sit around and w I think we do things this way to get our foot in the door, then once our basic functionality is integrated, we start trying to convince partners to integrate InstantSend as well. I definitely agree with you--we can't...

Maybe they are busy? Or maybe it isn't possible at all, for some reason that would only become clear if you started coding it? It's easy to say "do things this way!" It's much harder to do them.

If you have found a way to do that, you could always code it up and submit a pull request?

It's not impossible, but consider: a) If Bitcoin is really to the point where they're falling behind and the only salvation is Dash's technology, then that implies that Dash is already ahead of Bitcoin in terms of marketcap, adoption, etc. b) Most users, investors, and business partners would...

Back in 2014 there was a vocal group of Bitcoin maximalists decrying altcoins as "scams." The argument was that altcoins would never have any value, since even if they did come up with something innovative, that innovation would just be copied by Bitcoin. If for some reason Bitcoin couldn't (or...

Then for a whopping two weeks every 18 months, masternodes wouldn't get paid. Two weeks out of 18 months is 2.6%, so in that case, 97.4% of all blocks over that 18 month period would be paid correctly. Given that many miners are also masternode owners, you could expect them to move their...

As usual, you are absolutely right -- we definitely shouldn't make any effort to reach out to businesses unless they immediately support ALL of our features. Forget incremental growth--it's all or nothing, baby! P.S. Did you ever get around to refunding the network all that money that we paid...

91.76% of blocks are paid correctly, which I think is pretty impressive without enforcement. It's just a natural consequence of upgrading the network (turning enforcement off) combined with human nature (revenue maximization even if through dishonest means). In the long run, it's not even a...

That's awesome @kot! I definitely agree on meal expense reimbursement, per diem, or something. Some places are *crazy* expensive!

Shapeshift is great for smallish amounts

I just learned that apparently there is a way to do it using the script here: https://github.com/chaeplin/dashmnb#1-move-dashlibconfigsamplemainnettestnetpy-to-dashlibconfigpy-and-edit-parameters That's the "hard" way...an "easy" way is in the works but probably not ready for another month.

I'm also eagerly waiting for a guide...hopefully soon!

Flare said it will be possible to send masternode start from the trezor web wallet...it just has to be done "manually" at present.

The idea is that masternodes can charge for services they provide to the network. We hope that by the time the block reward has dropped significantly, the userbase will have increased to the point where small fees paid by the users will sustain the network. By that time, masternodes will provide...

You mean that after all this time, there are still people who don't have camo on ignore?

OK, if you say so. I know that Evan said something completely different, but maybe that's changed. Cheers!

@eduffield has said there will be a significant financial incentive to upgrading MNs ASAP.

Roughly 3-4 days. It takes 72 hours (I think...might be 48) for a proposal to be "mature" and then budget finalization happens about 24 hours before the superblocks.
