Please stop with these threats, Dash is not a security and any final decision on how the network re-configures to support Platform will be down to a network vote.

I agree, there can be no censorship in Platform, if the devs don't have the stones to code an open system that can be used in anyway possible, then they better code it up so it is impossible to store large amounts of arbitrary data.

Calculations were already given to us by virgile and QE, but you can imagine how it would work if you have a network of say 1000 1k nodes and one whale with say 100 nodes and everyone else is much smaller, if then you wish to create a new pool of evo nodes also at 1k Dash and that pool size will...

I agree. It looks like a single entity to me too and as yet an unidentified one. We are, I plan to analyse the data and identify this cluster.

You're wrong. We've already shown you how requiring a large collateral size makes it impossible for large stake holders in Dash to form a majority in the Platform pool which would be bad the very definition of centralised. Yes, we can. The power of the nodes will always be dictated by what...

I asked about in the DCG discord channel. https://discord.com/channels/484546513507188745/855521238814687232/1035080626849722378

MNOwatch has a page that lists every OP_RETURN ever created, what can you find in the data, anything illegal? :p https://mnowatch.org/history/

Another factor I did not mention is that we need to think about how much value is to be secured in Platform. I did the calculation somewhere else, but the payment cycle on Platform is every 18 days and every MN gets paid at the same time, so just before payment Platform will hold almost 7k Dash...

Sporks are being slowly removed and DCG is working on code that will allow us to hard fork in the future without the need for the sporks, so they are working towards that goal, there's just so much other work to do and constraints on what can be done.

I will be voting on the 10k option as it poses the best outcome for us from a poor set of alternatives. Some people on this forum seem to think that the 4k and 10k solutions would be more centralised and I must admit I thought the same at first until I really thought about it. The reason why...

haha! Of course you do, because you run a hosting service, so you are the one that will get the most profits when every MNO has to carry the burden of higher hosting costs and lower ROI with the 1K solution, meanwhile nothing but premium vacations for you in the south of France!

Easier said than done, bruz.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here? Is it that you don't believe a secondary market will emerge between the two pools and MNOs will move between them in order to maximise their returns? Because if so, this would be the first time time someone that saw free money on the table and did...

Firstly, the low fees charged by AllNodes is due to the fact they only store one or few copies of the blockchain and run the nodes on individual clusters that host many nodes on the same hardware, ie centralised. The price can therefore be driven down and just $4.5/month hosting fees is...

I didn't provide the numbers because they have already been quoted by QE elsewhere, but suffice to say the storage costs of data on Evo are directly proportional to the number of nodes on the network. If we look at the entire masternode network as a system where the baseline is what we have...

You're being paranoid, following a hard fork such as the one we've just had, it is fairly typically to see some of the forked off nodes get back on the right chain following their belated upgrades. That said, we are still nowhere near where we ought to be and hopefully we see more nodes come...

This is the main reason the High Performance Masternodes was introduced to the network, the cost of replicating the data across 4000 nodes is way too high to make Platform economical to use, only running it on fewer nodes makes sense. There are no further optimizations that can be done to...

As many of you may know, recently there has been some talk https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/should-platform-run-on-all-nodes-or-should-platform-run-only-on-high-performance-nodes.53374/ and of running Dash Platform aka Evolution on a subset of masternodes. On the table are three options...

How much security do we actually need for our usernames and contact lists? That is going to depend on what we do with Platform, if it is nothing interesting then why bring out the Rolls Royce of secuirty? Heck a few Postgre SQL databases and we're fine.

While I echo this sentiment, I think we all do, I would caution to rush Evo to the main chain, it is not stable and even as of right now it is down on testnet and has spent most of the past month offline, it's not ready for even testnet let alone mainnet. I would like to see Platform running...
