Yeah, price dampening is a nice side benefit. I'm not sure what you meant.by "I would still prefer 1K HPMNs though". Keeping all masternodes at 1,000 DASH is what I'm proposing.

It's not a fix in the sense that it guarantees no risk (it just mitigates, not eliminates). The degree of mitigation would depend on the implementation. My original thought with timelocks is simply that whales (especially 3rd party custodians) would not want to lock up all their nodes at the...

@DASHvestor, I think what may not have been explained well enough to you is the source of platform "credits". Platform "credits" are just units of account on the platform (Proof of Stake - PoS) chain. These units of account are only increased when units of account on the payment (Proof of Work...

Agreed. I'm planning to submit an alternative proposal that's very similar to what you described; the only caveat is that it would be coupled with timelocking the 1,000 DASH stake, for various reasons that I will expound upon if I formalize the proposal. That post was preliminary. I've...

Those of you who really value "decentralization", do you value that primarily as a means to: a) "fairness" (participation accessibility, not changing the rules as much, etc) b) security (censorship resistance, attack resistance, etc) c) some combination of both of the above. d) some other...

@amanda_b_johnson is exactly right. That's why I say the main purpose of platform is to acquire Dash users (not sell storage, computation, etc). Dash platform is a user-acquisition tool. It's a means, not an end. The purpose is to get people using Dash as money/currency (let's not lose...

I agree with what @dashfriend_ said about keys. As for this: How do 4k or 10k nodes fix this in a way that locked 1k nodes don't?

An alternative to consider: 1. Make running platform services optional 2. Require collateral lockup to run a platform masternode. 3. Maintain 1,000 DASH collateral requirement for all masternodes: - 1,000 DASH for core masternodes (as current/normal) - 1,000 DASH locked for platform...

Yes, it's in the model as well, and will change automatically.

Yes, and no. Yes in the sense that the yield calculations use current metrics, which includes the reallocation: - the miner/masternode allocation right now (39.4% to miners, 50.6% to masternodes, and up to 10% to superblock) - the number of masternodes right now (3,717 at the time of writing...

I was afraid this would happen after Ryan left. Respect to Glenn for waiting for a new CEO to get up and running to provide a smooth transition before moving on. Glenn was one of those guys who probably did a lot behind the scenes without anyone knowing. His experience and hard work will be...

Is it possible that they are both? That particular part of the rules seemed pretty clear to me though. I think some of Incubator's major decisions might need to be done in the DAO where negative votes will count. More about this in my proposal update coming in the next day or two.

Andy appointed me as PO. He is neither the PO, nor an admin in the Incubator, though at one point I did offer to him to be a Strategist. As mentioned in my replies to others, I see decentralization as a means to an end. It is necessary at the root, but it can actually be harmful at the...

This sounds more like populist rhetoric than an attempt to come to mutual understanding. I’m happy to continue the conversations when emotions have calmed (one of the reasons I’ve waited a bit to reply). I will say that I’m committed to serving Dash in general and MNOs in particular more than...

As I’m responding to all these posts it’s clear that (de)centralization is your (the YES group’s) main objective. Please see my prior replies above about that and about what was agreed and what wasn’t. You’ll see my plan in this quarter’s proposal text. I’d like to see admins happy, but all...

No such agreement was made. We agreed to work towards specifying the details, which got mired in disagreements. The timing of the change was never indicated or agreed. There were prerequisites. The Dash Incubator is governed by our Rules, and I, as PO, follow the PO specification, which...

Indeed. That’s one nice thing that has come out of this, though it didn’t have to take this form (a surprise vote to replace the PO).

A sensational characterization to say the least. I never claimed that I must attain total control of the incubator and single handedly control every admin and the incubator budget. I wonder if anyone can take this claim seriously. I’m trying to do the exact opposite for the wider Dash...

According to our rules, the proposal owner is a role, not a task. (https://rules.dashincubator.app/#1-dash-incubator) Andy clarified (expanded?) the proposal owner responsibilities with the Proposal Owner Spec document to include proposal management, service management, and strategic...

Just to clarify the proposal posting and editing timeline: I originally posted the proposal on my normal schedule (with the intention to post a fairly typical proposal since the structural upgrades I’ve been proposing for multiple quarters continued to be blocked internally). I quickly uploaded...
