You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. The sad reality is that if there is no will from DCG then the network won't consider it important. @Pete - DashCrypto, @amanda_b_johnson, and I are trying to plan something, but nobody in DCG seems interested to attend, or even...

This is a good idea for payments in general. Time-locked instruments are used extensively in proper economic systems. Optional time-locking for superblock payments, masternode collateral, or even mining block rewards (beyond 100 blocks) should all be explored more, but doing that is a matter...

Nice review. @DashMoney has done great work here.

What you're describing seem to be reasons to not fund DCG more than we already are. DCG has dominated the superblock allocation for a long time, so it's reasonable (though not provable) to assume that doing more of that would only compound the problem, but what's the alternative? Really, what...

DCG will run out of funds in a few months, even if funds are diverted from Incubator. Increasing the superblock needs to be seriously (re)considered, not just for DCG, Incubator, and others, but for Dash as a whole.

I support increasing fees by 10x.

Thanks @splawik21 and @GiMa-Maya. Voted.

We discussed last week's network halt in today's Incubator Weekly show: . (several comments from this thread were referenced)

I first heard about Bitcoin through these guys on this very show. Then I heard about Dash through @amanda_b_johnson. I would love to see this 100 DASH/month proposal funded. If we have any soul left in Dash we will seriously consider it.. These guys have already given us 100 DASH worth of...

How are we supposed to evaluate this without at least a ballpark funding request?

Dash is an economy. That implies both social and financial issues. You're both right.

Right. That's why I said "At least not if we're considering just the basic economic incentives." If we're considering scenarios where 3rd party custodian humpbacks (like Binance) are lying to their customers, propping up yield from non-native sources, and in general acting maliciously then all...

Just an FYI, DCG and I are both assuming there is risk when any single entity controls 33%+ of a quorum. At 60% (or is it 66%) there is risk of more serious problems (like funds at risk). According to the statistical calculations being able to control 33% of a 100-node quorum starts happening...

it's pretty unlikely that there will be "too many HPMNs platform nodes and not enough MNs" if the allocation is thought out well. The roughly 650 nodes my model predicts is based on a 20% allocation. DCG's proposals all allocate 50% to platform nodes. Either way, you're not going to have a...

Yes, platform nodes will have higher performance requirements. My point was just that having a higher collateral has nothing to do with node performance. You can get higher performing nodes with any collateral (1k, 4k, 10k, etc). Yes, that's why I'm going through the trouble of proposing an...

That sounds like what's now called "Local" is the *global* version. Not confusing at all :) - glad they will be renaming that.

I'm not familiar enough with what you're calling the "Visa Rewards Local" program (and others) to know what exactly this all means. I like the Dash Back (not the real name) feature, and that much is new to me, but could you please give us the "diff" (to use a coding term) between what is...

Are you using “HPMN” (high performance masternode) as synonymous with high collateral masternode? “High performance masternode” is a misnomer. I’ve heard no evidence or even theory why high collateral nodes would be more “performant” than a 1,000 DASH collateralized node. In practice nodes...
