Let's assume for the moment that you are intelligent enough, knowledgeable enough, and wise enough to have good ideas about where Dash should go from here. What about all the other masternode owners? They have a vote too, and they might be swayed by people who are stupid or malevolent.

Dash is a complex, innovative software product in early stage development. The roadmap for that development cannot be formulated democratically by the potentially thousands of people who own masternodes. That would be a disaster.

Bwah ha ha -- there are forces out there that are quite terrified of Dash. We're winning!

I was thinking you could send the 5 Dash balance back to yourself as change, but maybe that would defeat the purpose of PS!?

The algo actually would work best first examining the hundreds, then the tens, and then the ones, and any case where there is not enough bills, you simply bump up the next highest denomination, and then stop.

Let's imagine you have monopoly money in denominations of ones, tens, and hundreds, and you need to pay someone 705. I think that is analogous. Your goal is to send bills such that you receive the least change (zero change is best -- i.e, exact amount). So you start looking for ones to fulfill...

The algorithm that selects PS inputs needs to be tweaked. IDK if that's a showstopper. Are we on track for Jan 1 release?

We need to wait and see. Coinmine.pl is mining 60% of the blocks. Maybe ASICs will change that.

Mon′day morn′ing quar′terback n. a person who offers hindsight solutions to problems already faced by others. [1940–45] If proposals pass and they don't work out so well, so be it. We learn by failures -- not successes. To have people second-guessing every passed proposal in real-time is a...

So here is how they did direct democracy in ancient Greece: A subset of the citizens were selected to be "legislators," and a proposal was put before them. One eloquent person was selected to argue the FOR and one eloquent person was select to argue the AGAINST. At the end of the speeches the...

So you want a thousand masternode owners to try to evaluate whether the PR company is doing a good enough job and come to a consensus? That can't work. Also, you must remember what Voltaire said... The best is the enemy of the good. Dash is succeeding because it's providing "good enough"...

At this point, we have to trust Evan's judgement. He's in the best position to know what needs to be done, what is working and what needs to be changed. If you don't trust his judgement, why are you holding Dash?

I have been wondering about this. What is Dash plan for mitigating this kind of attack?

Thirteen is an unlucky number in the West, and fourteen is unlucky in the East, and therefore, the next Dash release should be fifteen.

If Dash appreciates till it's worth as much as BTC, and people clue into the fact that they can run several masternodes and live comfortably off the proceeds, masternodes may eat up most of the available Dash. Also, if there are too many masternodes, will that hamper the network's ability to...

Will there ever come a time when there are no more masternodes allowed? Has anyone put any thought into this?

Thank you for responding! First off, dashninja is a little wonky lately -- I usually have to load the page that details the MN, and then refresh the page to get it to display anything. Dashnodes works better... I'm using a hosting service, so I am at their mercy if my MN goes offline and I have...

My masternode's run-time is 6 days and has not been paid for 11 days. I keep seeing masternodes that have run-times of like 14 days being chosen for payment (having been paid only 4 days ago) instead of my MN. For instance this one... XnG1dkS8EV2pMPTk6JDE4AvTesQa4a3FjT How is it possible that...

Hi, I have two questions... 1. When you boot up the wallet the "synchronizing masternode winners" seems to take a long time. Kind of a black eye. Will that get faster? 2. Is it possible to incorporate electrum server into the masternodes, or is that a bad idea? - G
