    stop dash from getting burned

    yes, you are right that burning is better to burn it than to give it away to any random person. The question is: Is it better to burn it than giving it future masternode operators (to spend on future proposals)? It might matter less if we constantly will have more budget than we have proposals...

    stop dash from getting burned

    1. The only way to access the funds should be through masternode voting. No person should be in possession of a key that could spend the funds. One would have to steal a majority of the masternodes to get the funds, in case we have bigger issues at hand. 2. With all due respect, I choose to not...

    stop dash from getting burned

    Pinging @babygiraffe Are there reasons for not saving unspent budget funds for future proposals? Is it perhaps already on the roadmap through sentinel? Thanks

    stop dash from getting burned

    I rather put the funds in a pile than 'burn' them on 'stupid' things. I don't see why the funds can't go into a fund, which can be used for later budgets should they exceed the monthly fresh set of dash. So still controlled by the masternodes voting on proposals. I see many benefits of having...

    March 2017 Budget Report

    This would get my vote any day of the week. Bitcoin had the benefit of "slow" roll-out in the beginning. Serious issues could be fixed before the stakes were too high. I'm afraid Dash are trying to pull off just as much, or even more, new code and innovation in a much shorter time span and when...

    What is Sentinel? (Masternodes)

    @TanteStefana I agree that practically speaking there is no need to trust anyone in dash. As you say the system is built such that an adversary must own a ridiculous number of MNs to be able to do an attack in practice. However, the introduction of masternodes took one step away from a...

    What is Sentinel? (Masternodes)

    I think camosoul raises a valid point. Masternodes now with Sentinel seem very flexible and powerful. The flip side is increased attack surface. I'm quite surprised that bigger holes hasn't been found in Bitcoin. I guess one strength is the homogeneous structure and 100% focus on trust less...

    12.1 Testnet Testing Phase Two Ignition

    Yup. Maybe if you own a huge amount of MNs. We can be pretty sure there will be a few hundred MNs that will upgrade within an hour. In one hour there are only about 24 blocks. So unless you have a significant portion of those early upgraders, you are not likely to get that many extra payments...

    12.1 Testnet Testing Phase Two Ignition

    Just to clarify; this refers to the data on memory consumption and not the data in ~/.dash/ vs ~/.dashcore/ From what I understand you may very well keed the blockchain files from 12.0. No need to re-download the whole thing. Considering how many will update in a short period of time we might...

    12.1 Testnet Testing Phase Two Ignition

    @qwizzie Related to your third question, https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/details-on-the-feb-5th-update.12874/ There will be a grace period where both 12.0 and 12.1 are allowed. Maximizing masternode payment is a bit tricky. On one hand you want to upgrade when the majority of the miners...

    February 2017 Budget Report

    As can be seen here http://dashvotetracker.com/ there has been more proposals, but they have been rejected by the voting masternode operators. There's a number of mechanisms that prevent singlehandedly pushed through last minute proposals. The proposal must have been active for at least...

    @moocowmoo Excellent! Thanks for the elaborate response!

    Details on the Feb 5th update

    We are all excited about the upcoming release of 12.1. I have a number of points I'd like some clarification on regarding the upgrade process, specifically for a masternode: Will there be a simle "one-click-upgrade" like moomoocow's "dashman update"? If not 1), will sentinel be integrated...

    Evolution 2fa login

    I've heard in a number of presentations on Evolution how simple it will be to use: Just type in your username and password and magic happens. I'm as excited as the rest of you, but I can't help to wonder if there will be more secure options available. Like u2f or other secure 2fa. In one...

    dashman - linux masternode mangement made mootastic

    I'm seeing some strange masternode queue positions being reported by dashman. When a masternode has been really unlucky and not been paid in the last 1.2*number_of_masternodes the lastPaid is set to zero. See: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/master/src/masternode.cpp#L255-L260 This causes...

    Move masternode to new IP

    Hi, The official guide for migrating a masternode is here: https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/Migrate+Server It suggests that you need to stop the masternode and let it drop off the payment-list, before starting it with a new IP. Now, I'm sure I've read a MN operator post...
