    MEGA-"HELP! WALLET NOT SYNCING"-THREAD

    I'm having a problem with my QT wallet synchronizing after the superblock yesterday. When I checked it this morning, there were no error messages, but it was stuck on block 448631 (the one right before the superblock). So first I just restarted the wallet - no luck, just stuck on that block...

    Poll: What is DASH's governance model?

    I think you raise some legitimate points, TroyDASH, but at the same time I think you are not trusting the Masternode owners enough. For example, regarding the multi-month irrecovable contracts in 12.1, I agree with you that they are a bad idea, but at the same time it was put up to a vote that...

    Should budgets allow for irrevocable contracts?

    Perhaps you are right, but I think it would have been appropriate to address it publicly when the concerns were raised, to let us know the concern was at least noted (of course, he was not obligated to, since the vote passed anyway). Further, in one way I hope it is NOT included in 12.1, since...

    Proposal: Reimbursements For Acquisition And Setup Of Dashtalk

    I tell you what, voting this month is difficult! I found myself voting "No" on proposals I might support in other months, just because I support others even more. I just wanted to note that this is one of those proposals I support "even more." A solid, long-running forum is essential at this...

    Should budgets allow for irrevocable contracts?

    I have a big issue with truly irrevocable contracts, but it looks like 12.1 will go forward with them (and it was voted in fairly). I do wish that some of the developers had addressed this concern when it was first raised, but obviously most MNs didn't mind the concern being ignored. That being...

    iPhone DashWallet Release

    The temporary profile used to install expires after a few months. You need to do a rebuild to get it back working (no funds are lost, of course). Can't wait until this is added to the Apple Store!

    Budget Proposal “electrum_maintenance“

    I'm about 99% sure that this is a legitimate proposal, and that the funds would be used properly, but there is no way I would vote "Yes" on a proposal that had no description other than a title, no matter who submitted it. A main criticism the Dash community faces related to the Budget Proposal...

    Proposal: Dash debit card

    Okay, I've updated dashvotetracker.com to make this a bit more clear. If a proposal is set to a superblock beyond the next one, I have moved it to the bottom of the list and made it blue (you might have to refresh to get the blue style). This will allow us to see the progress of the vote, but...

    Proposal: Dash debit card

    I need to check to be sure, but I think it is simply because the initial payment date is not until June. Anything in red means it is not included in the next budget (for whatever reason).

    Lingering Budget Proposal - Dash.org

    I've updated dashvotetracker.com so that expired proposals (i.e., ones with "RemainingPaymentCount" equal to 0), no longer show on the page, even if they haven't dropped out of the budget list.

    Follow-up: If you run the command to see the projected proposals that will be paid next cycle, the dash.org Proposal is NOT included: $ dash-cli mnbudget projection { "lamassu-integration" : { "URL" : "www.dashwhale.org/p/lamassu-integration", "Hash" ...

    Lingering Budget Proposal - Dash.org

    Hello, Since the new Budget System cycle that started on Sunday, the Proposal "Dash.org domain name" still appears on my votetracker (dashvotetracker.com) even though it has expired: As you can see, the vote tracker picks it up as an existing Proposal, but at the same time, it marks it as...

    Masternode Owners need to think like VCs

    The debates surrounding the past couple of Budget Proposal cycles have got me thinking about how Masternode owners should approach new proposals for funding. In a very real sense, MN owners are venture capitalists, deciding how to spend "their" money. If they spend it wisely, their investment...

    Budget System v2 - Irrevocable multi-month contracts

    Not exactly. In an ideal world, all agreements would be directly between the vendor and the network, and all payments would go directly from the block reward to the vendor. However, this might not always be possible, due to regulations, legal structures, or just the preference of the vendor. In...

    Budget System v2 - Irrevocable multi-month contracts

    Then obviously the MN owners would have to activate SkyNet and destroy them. :) But seriously, that is a good point. I would think that is another argument for a cancellation mechanism in the protocol itself. If it was announced that a vendor cancelled their contract, then the MN owners could...

    Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

    Budget System v2 - Irrevocable multi-month contracts

    You might be right, Solarminer. I'm not hung up on the exact percentages, but I think the following should be true: It should be harder to approve a multi-month contract than a month-to-month proposal. (Which is true with Evan's proposal). It should relatively difficult to approve a...

    Budget System v2 - Irrevocable multi-month contracts

    That's what I'm thinking too, Solarminer. Evan proposed the following for approving multi-month contracts: I think these thresholds for passage are very reasonable. But I would propose something very similar to cancel a multi-month contract, perhaps like the following: If less than 3 months...
