I am not sure on this but do we need to make network hierachy (or bueracracy) more complex just to add voting ability to every user? I rember Evan said that current number of masternodes is redundant for the network load of now.

Yes. I imagine checkbox in the wallet like 'I want my funds be pegged to USD'))

Yep) But we have chosen not a good time though with TNABC going on right now. Hope to see here more people soon.

raganius I understand your concerns about getting 'a mess' instead of 'well-functioning' system but you have to keep in mind that each successful company gets its success via supplying good services to its users. So, I think that DASH should serve its users first but not its masternodes). So...

Masternodes also have pump and dump power. If they want they can sell their coins and sell their equipment or use it for being nodes of other cryptocurrency, right? So this doesnt seems like equal powers, users (+)have ability to pump and dump, (+)have no equipment costs, but (-)have not ability...

raganius I think that if I buy about 5 DASH, then voting for me will be something simillar to playing online game. And my influence on the whole network will be about 0.005 of 1 voice of a masternode. But if I buy 50 000 DASH then voting with my 50 masternodes will be more serious for me and...

a little off-topic article here: http://theshapeofthings.org/2016/01/18/field-interview-wmatan-field-ethereum-devcon-1/

lynx Don't you think that with new investors DASH cap will go up and so will go budget money per month? This could help in hiring new developers and maybe split some tasks between them in order to make them faster and better?

So which time would be perfect for it in your opinion? Maybe we need to calculate approximate efforts of developers to implement that feature via time and money they would spend on it? Do we have some features-request-list of the community to developers?

The easiest way to implement shared voting right now is through service like Splawik21 has. This way has its weak points: centralization, trust to Splawik, vote rounding and others, but advantage of it is that it doesn't require to change the protocol.

Yes, because it gets people feel as they do something important when they voting on a proposal or vote against it. They feel that they can actually influence on the development process unlike in bitcoin community. Moreover it is very funny, its like online game, and it is very naturally attracts...

After we will come up with some idea shouldn't it be posted as a proposal?)

Yes, this is exactly what I am talking about.

Maybe VNs should send money to some account that will automatically lock their money for some period. And among that period they will have an ability to take part in voting. I do not know how to implement this technically. And I am curious about is it even possible and how hard it would take to...

Ok, but don't Voting Nodes give resistance against sybil attacks too? I assume that if each 1 Voting node have collateral of 100 DASH (I would prefer smaller amount, though), than it should have 0,1 or something like 0,075 of voice weight in voting compared to MN's one. Aren't this voting nodes...

Yes, that's true. But participating in voting doesn't include getting profit. Actually it includes paying for voting and getting by this an ability to influence on the network development and to propose new features.

I don't propose cheaper MNs. I propose that more users would get ability to participate in voting even though they haven't enough money for running their own MNs. Of course it may cost higher for them to vote (higher then for MN hosters) because they do not do anything useful for the Dash...

I think that MN collateral doesn't get smaller in terms of USD with the network growth. 1000 * 10 = 10000 USD 500 * 100 = 50000 USD 250 * 1000 = 250000 USD Also, I think that participating in the governance process via voting is very interesting and attracting feature for new users. And...

I mean subcurrency of the Dash that is pegged to 1 USD like NuBits or BitUSD. This innovation could atract more investors to Dash and rise its capitalization. The same goes for phisical goods traiders and buisnesses who don't like high volatilty. Maybe this service could be maintained by some...
