The Masternodes did reject a kickback from Charlie Shrem's original debit card proposal, so there is some degree of restraint at least. Speaking of which, what is even more concerning to me is: Budget for this proposal paid out 6 weeks 3 days ago @David Mason was last seen: 8w 2d ago Anyone...

@Syntheist *Really* appreciate these updates. I like way you are going about this with good information (even if it's just small things sometimes), making yourself highly available in multiple places for questions, and creating a schedule of next-check-in dates. You're setting the bar high and I...

Is there some way to verify this claim? Even if true, your company seems to be pretty much a one-man show, so it seems like you are majorly over-representing your company's status here. You said yourself in this interview that you are in a niche market and you aren't really aware of many/any...

I don't think this is a decision that the community should make as a whole. If somebody wanted to arrange a crowdfunding campaign for it then I would be more receptive to the idea I think

Keep in mind that Dash had a huge bull run that immediately preceded the larger crypto bull run, so if you extend it just a little further, Dash is up about 1500% in the last 6 months. It is true that most people have no idea how marketing is supposed to be done, but that also means that we...

"coin" does sound a little weird. Maybe just "send dash" ?

Is it even possible to do a comparison using only hashes? I don't know how facial recognition works, but the data from facial recognition software I would imagine doesn't need to match exactly with what is on file like a password does, but there are an infinite number of "very close"...

This sounds to me like an excellent opportunity. As I mentioned in the slack, I am on board with supporting this provided that you are able to work out with the core team on the escrow/contract and their availability to participate --

Specialized hardware might be an inevitability. You can't just throw more nodes at the scaling problem through lower collateral and call it solved. Node count helps more with decentralization/resilience than scaling, imo, although both are important. Higher node count may even be detrimental to...

Do clients seriously buy your services with that kind of pitch? o.O There's a missing connection here which is the added value that you would be bringing to the network. Do you have reputable clients that can vouch for you? Work samples or plans for how you will achieve those goals? Do you see...

Thanks @joezippy for taking the time on the Slack yesterday to help me understand more what you're aiming for. I have given this some thought and I agree with the reasons presented for why this should be brought up for public discussion. As I mentioned to joezippy, I think we really need to...

Yes I am absolutely OK with this. @martinf's idea about adding some competition (lowest return bids are given preference) would be a great improvement if possible, but I would support this even without it.

Crypto communities can be a bit territorial and loyalty is important; your switch from Dash to NEM on the other proposal struck me as a little odd. But I also recognize you are an accomplished businessperson with a reputation, and we know that with the Dash budget, Reputation is Everything...

That is an entirely reasonable prediction, IMO. A merger though would be so incredibly unprecedented and bold that I love the thought of it, but I can't imagine it getting widespread support among the communities and core teams. It would be really cool if it did happen though because it sounds...

Bitcoin cash seems to be the closest ideologically and seems to me to be a great match (once the price is more stable). Dash brings superior governance and scaling solution to the table, and BCC brings more network effects. But it would be such a massive undertaking and both the Dash and BCC...

I like the idea of having an open source version of DashCentral/DashTreasury hosted by the masternode network, but I wouldn't put it as a high priority issue. If it can be worked on without impacting our core development then that would be great...

It was proposed to merge with Shadowcash back in 2014 but it was ultimately rejected. https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/darkcoin-shadowcash-merger.2918/ I actually don't think the concept is inherently bad, but a lot of stars would need to align for it to be a good idea to merge with another...

It definitely breaks down when you compare individuals - one person HODLing a node since $2 had to spend way less than someone buying in now. But over time, Masternodes change hands eventually and if you take the *average* amount of capital that was spent to acquire each masternode, that number...

Not a chance P&G would ever sell it to us, nor do I think it's necessary. dash.org is sufficient

I am inclined to agree that Masternodes are overpaid, at least currently. What to do about it is another matter. The costs associated with running a MN are going to change in the future. Spending it on more budget doesn't make sense when we are not even at capacity currently. And messing with...
