Wtf? This is just a start ;)

I don't see how this would be possible. Also, I don't understand why would you even want to do such a thing.

Yup.

If you consider the rise in Dash price and adoption during this year, I would say that governance works just fine. Also, who are you to say that there are no bonds in the community? I'm actually seeing first hand the forming of a local community in my city right now, with meetups that will...

There is no deadlock. While there is still at least one honest miner on the network, blocks will flow.

I don't host any other services at the moment. I could set up a VPN at my router, but I don't have the use for it at the moment. I bring up an FTP server from time to time, when I need it for work.

You can always use Instant send and there is no possibility of double spending because MNs confirm the transaction before it gets to miners. Also, MNs reject improperly formed blocks from miners.

When you buy shares of a company, is that not an investment? With the Dash governing system, it is a lot like a company. The machine for a masternode cost me about 1200€, I think. Gigabit network will probably be about 70€ a month. I don't pretend that cost of the masternode is comparable to...

Because I put money that I saved for the previous 20 years in a Dash project that could've just as easily failed and I would be left with 1000 pieces of nothing. So I AM an investor and I risked a lot of money. It's easy to see that Dash has great potential now, but it wasn't really that obvious...

We can argue about this without end... Dash is made this way, you knew this when you bought the miners. Nobody forced you to do it. Live with your decision and stop trying to put the responsibility on someone else. Also, I don't think Dash price will increase fourfold in the next two years. I...

Well, that's why I bought a masternode ;) In any case, even with the miners you've got at the moment, I think if you calculate the ROI, you'll get more than 8% back on your investment per year.

Masternode would generate about 80 Dash in that time, so your 970 doesn't sound so bad.

Return is 8% per year for a MN and it will only go down year to year, so check your math. Market IS deciding the actual price. MNs can't create Dash out of thin air.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see the problem. The miners produced the problem by overbuying the mining rigs at the current level of Dash price. I agree that it was hard to predict this kind of difficulty spike, but it wasn't completely unexpected. Also, there is no link between aggregate mining...

Of course, there is a correlation, but it's because hashrate follows the profitability, not the other way around. Also, I AM an investor and I didn't buy enough Dash for a masternode because of it's hashrate. I bought it because I like its technology, its potential, how it's structured and also...

You forget that MNs are also the investors and they have more skin in the game than most of the miners. I personally invested a lot of my life savings into buying a masternode and it's definitely in my best interest to make decisions that will benefit the network in the long run. How much did...

I don't have a direct relation to any of the core team, I'm just a masternode owner that follows all of the updates and tries to stay informed. This issue has been raised a number of times before and the core team is aware of it. I don't remember their response about the issue word for word...

Not really. But it's actually about trust and I currently trust the dev team, as they did deliver everything they set out to do until now and I don't have any valid reason that they won't do it this time also. I understand the irony in this statement as cryptocurrencies themselves are set up to...

Yes. It was said from the beginning that it would be done that way and I understand the reasoning behind it and agree with that decision.
