The fact that we as a community are not flipping out with rollercaoster gifs and partying in the streets is a sign just how much we "get it" and how much more we believe in the DASH system. The system that pays nodes, the system that funds itself, the system that has governance. The way a...
Hi Guys
Not sure if this is related to the DDOS attack, but my wallet shows a rough estimation of 20% of masternodes with "NEW_START_REQUIRED" as their status.
There's an increase in "WATCHDOG_EXPIRED" status as well.
Just thought I should post something in case someone isn't monitoring their...
@Sapereaude yea I saw that. You actually posted as I was writing the reply.
For those of you who are not technically inclined, take note that my firewall script also filters out a few ip addresses that takes part in the DDOS, which should help keep your masternode ports open for real Dash...
HI Guys
Attached a very nice firewall script that will help you out. It already blocks a few bad behaving IP addresses (I got those bad behaving ip's from Dash's debug log). It limits connections to your SSH and Dash ports (allows only 2 per second). It looks out for bad SYN packets (only some...
I'm just had to make progress on this and I sent the email exactly like you had it InTheWoods . If this goes forward they can talk to someone there about the finer details, for now we just need a short answer.
I'll report back the moment I hear from them.
Perfect! Thank you for taking the time InTheWoods
Guys I'm more than happy to send the email but from many dealings with American companies before, the timezone is an issue here (there's usually a 24 hour delay between replies).
Anyone here willing to liaise with them? If not I'll take care...
Hey Guys
I was about to just jump in and take action and mail that address InTheWoods posted (thank you), but decided since this is all official I'd ask you to please check my grammar and sentence structure. English is not my first language and I constantly make grammar mistakes.
So please...
Guys, so I wake up this morning, make some coffee, do my ritual reading of "recent posts" on the dash forum.... and.... Goosebumps! (I would not lie about that).
THIS. PLACE. IS. AWESOME!
Thank you to everyone! You guys ROCK! We are truly becoming a worldwide "Decentralized Company" in every...
HI Guys

If we can just get someone in there and explain to them why Dash Evolution will be easier for the community to use...
This is far from desirable. We screwed-up... myself included.
I'm sorry Kot. I'm sorry for complaining. I'm sorry for voting "No". And thank you for what you did. I just didn't know.
Please consider that people in the community have seen scams before, and for this reason they will be cautious...
I heard Evan say somewhere in a podcast (I think it was the one-on-one interview with Amanda from Daily Decrypt) that they made some calculations and the optimum size of the network should be around 3000 masternodes. We're already past that, which might explain why it isn't marketed that...
OK this is news. I would never cast a vote that will land Evan in trouble, and was quite shocked when you said that. I immediately went to dashwhale.org to look at the original proposal. And sadly, there wasn't a single mention of any contracts being signed. This should have been clearly...
Also, TIL from flare that coins aren't "burnt", they just never come into existence. I also agree with you David, as a young currency we should maximize what we have.
It's like my grandfather said: "Let's count ever penny". Let's make every penny work for us.
Thank you for clearing that up flare. My apologies for using that word ("burnt" sounds like such a strong word).
The fact that the coins never comes into existence seems to be good, sound, level-headed monetary policy. Again, the whole Dash system did not fail to impress me.
Thank you to...
Thank you lynx
That seems perfectly fine. I'm sure masternode owners would vote a proposal "back in" if nothing else is available and wouldn't just let coins burn.
I just realised, we have our own little "reddit for money" here. Again thank you to ericsammons for the tool he created.
I hope a lot of people don't do this, because the whole point of running a masternode is to make the network stronger. Each 1000 dash pays more than enough to cover a full VPS. I therefore run VPSs in separate countries. I have one node in London, and another in Switzerland. Running a whole...
