The chance to be able to stop a quorum is 0.13% for the top MNO with 40% more Dash with the 1K solution. It's at 0.03% for the 4K solution and 0% with the 10k solution. So if you are interesting in decentralization for a security reason then you should prefer 10k over 4k over 1k. While this is...

@qwizzie but what are the upsides... it's 30 times less secure... In fact the security level would make this non viable.

If people want to look at numbers themselves. Here is the spreadsheet used for calculations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i0NDJYkDDpwjCjOW7gyr8CL2zSJwSmcic0NzIw8X-74/edit#gid=1292702073

Okay, @qwizzie I was able to quickly get some numbers for the 1K solution. It's 30 times less secure than the 4k Solution, while bringing down average rewards from 7% (4k Solution) to around 6.6% (because of the additional burden of higher hardware costs for the network on so many nodes - even...

I do not think I talked about the price... Analyses shows that we currently have the ability on our network for much more than the required 450 4K nodes. (450 is around where the equilibrium with the 1k nodes hits). To be clear I am not proposing this 4K solution because I believe it will raise...

The reason why I haven't answered on the 1K solution proposed is that I don't just answer something quickly, it will take me hours to analyze this solution to be able to a good answer. When I say I don't have time... I think people are not realizing that all my days are just...

Can you elaborate how this is happening? Why does it matter if someone who has 4K Dash votes with 1 vote worth 4 = 1x4 points, or 4 votes worth 4 = 4x1 point? I also don't see how this would be hijacking the treasury. Proof of Service is not robust right now. I went over the fact that getting a...

Well I really do feel like the rewards will even out, as there is a bridge (by nodes changing their type) between the two system pushing things to equilibrium. Qwizzie could you link me to the 1k masternode solution? or repost it here so people can easily follow what I'm responding to?

Let me say that if I only had 1 Masternode I would still be more in favor of the 4K/10K solution. First because I care about the network, but also even if I was only thinking in my own self interest. I am currently paying about 25$/node (yes it's more than the average - but I run mine a little...

You are completely right. The thing that we also need to realize is that in the situation of "every" node runs platform, we choose a random 100 nodes for consensus at a time. At the moment on our network I would say that a very large percentage of our nodes are trying to cut corners, running on...

Could you please explain a way that DCG itself would benefit from the 4K Masternodes? We have different ways we can roll out platform and are presenting the pros and cons of each way forward so that the network can vote. Would you prefer that DCG makes these calls without network buy in? I...

There are a few misconceptions that need to be addressed. Anyone can run a platform node, though you would only get *direct* rewards from Platform if you have the collateral of 4k Dash. The second misconception is that going with the 4k solution would deprive normal masternodes of higher...

I am not taking away any options. I am proposing to the network various solutions to vote on. When I get some time I will analyze what was requested of me, but right now I am sadly very busy.

To dispel rumors that this was going to take a while I asked Ody to write it up, in less than an hour he did most of the work, still needs review and some minor adjustments (maybe). But yeah, this wouldn't cause ANY delay, and might even speed things up as testnet and mainnet would be more...

Sorry, really very busy today. I will do my best to answer either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Exactly what xkcd said. He's finding bugs/issues because he cares. While you might fall on an external auditor that really cares, most of the time it is a task for them, maybe they will do good because it is their professional duty, but it's not fueled by passion like it is for many long timers...

And the latter for me as well. Need to point this out so people know that our incentives should be aligned.

DCG doesn't choose nodes for platform, they are selected randomly. It would be very bad for security if DCG were to select nodes. And there's no way to prove nodes are running platform before the whole system starts.

HPNS do run indeed run Core. The choice if from running Core, or Core and Platform.

While I was telling infrastructure team to not take down more than 10% at a time, I was oversimplifying something more complicated and making sure the probability of something going wrong was close to 0%. This is more because if you actually had taken down 20% per day, but done so 23 hours after...
