Somewhat OT but there's a whole lot of very under-utilised MN hardware out there... What about an option for distributed MN cloud backup of your wallet as long as it has a decently complex passphrase and isn't enormous? I'd never keep my main stash online, though this might be irrational of me...

100% agreed: https://dashtalk.org/threads/croutonrant-331-marketing-a-waste-of-time-money-currently-also-pow-is-an-exclusionary-dead-end.4735/ :smile:

I don't think I was clear either. :) Removing self-interest from the electorate makes the whole process a sham and will lead to the railroading of useless crap, as the only people who will be bothered to vote are the barrel plunderers. Nothing is really filtered out if there isn't an option...

It wouldn't go forward: Agreed. And maybe it's better to start with a higher bar and see how that works out before trying anything else. Let me try and lay out how I envision this working in pseudo code. I am not a coder, this is barebones rough draft 0.0.0.1-pre-alpha, try not to laugh too...

I have proposed before that MNs be identified on the network by a masternodepubkey instead of an IP address, which isn't actually needed for anything. No technical reason why not as it's the same tech that the masternodeprivkey system uses, but Evan seems set on the fixed-IP model. Anyway, OT...

Personally I'm happy with a higher voting threshold, 40% seemed like a sensible minimum. In the event of a perfectly tied vote I think the default behaviour should be a Not Passed? I don't see a 'No' threshold being needed as surely this would already be taken care of by the participation...

Up to you, the more vanity characters in the address you want, the exponentially longer it's going to take. eg. 'abcde' is going to need twice as long as 'abcd'

If the software can use the GPUs then sure, it will should things up - same principle as CPU vs GPU mining. No idea how much by though.

It's going to run real slow on anything, you're basically going through the same process as brute forcing encryption.

I don't like the 'bundling' of projects in the example you have given. Maybe I like one aspect but not another? The 'only 1 funded initiative at a time' also seems very restrictive. I think it an be simpler while also being more flexible. eg. Proposer A wants $X to pay to develop feature P...

Said every warmongering banker, politician and priest ever, as they took our money and lined their own pockets with it. I wonder if porktalk.org and porkpay.io have been registered yet? Your logic here is broken, because your assertion that mandatory taxation eliminates greed and self...

Oblox found Mr 380 I think a while back: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg11090498#msg11090498 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg11099327#msg11099327 Definitely looks like a hell of a Masternode factory. :eek:

I applaud your detective work, I had guessed that half the MNs were owned by about 6 people. Changing the MN DASH requirement will not help the current or future distribution though. The rich will just add more MNs at a proportional rate. It would however cost Mr 806 and Mr 380 (and everyone...

They should be paid, in the same way that miners and MNs are paid - as they go and upon service provided, not upfront. Given the piss-poor job miners as a whole do of securing the blockchain, with 90% of the lazy sods mining on the same 3 pools, I think 40% to the miners is generous. Blockchain...

Both the Solarminer and Camosoul variants of the funding proposal can accommodate such requirements. Remember that it's up to the proposer to lay out their proposal and specify what they need in terms of funding, and when they need it. Not all proposals are going to be the same or have identical...

This is a false comparison. The Great Satoshi Stash is not acting as a pork barrel that's ripe for plundering by people who have direct financial motivation to grind any opposition to their spending down, because they will get the $$$ and the opposors have already had that $$$ taken from them...

I like the way Solarminer presented it much better. Time scales in months or years are useless, you might as well go join the Bitcoiners. :grin:

I completely disagree. Mandatory taxation is theft. Whether it's daylight robbery down the barrel of a gun, at threat of being locked in a concrete box, or being told "If you don't like it you can sell your DASH and bugger off," it's theft. Were the US founding fathers (who I'm certain had most...

Thanks for just reading. Thread certainly deviated a bit from intent... but I think lots of good ideas have been posted by various people and theloneneuron has some cogitating to do. :smile: There's already a perfectly working solution to MN payment variance that's blockchain based, needs no...

It isn't PoStake. Users aren't staking anything, they're contributing a few CPU cycles now and again and getting a little in return. Earnings, not interest, how much DASH you have in your wallet makes no difference. Provide service, get paid, same as MNs. And we'll have to disagree about where...
