http://cryptomining-blog.com/ is pretty good.

It doesn't matter if one DNET is worth 100 sats or 18k. Regardless of the price masternodes are very profitable because they earn their investment back in 44 days.


Unless of course people succeed to reduce the supply. In that case masternodes wouldn't be near that profitable anymore which means people would not start new masternodes causing worse decentralization/distribution and eventual price decline.

But if the masternode reward won't be cut then their profitability will cause people to buy into the coin to run their own masternodes increasing the price naturally while also helping distribution and decentralization.

12-15% per annum in crypto is just awful. There are so many ways to reach ROI within a year.

I'm sorry but cutting PoW rewards from 250 to 50 and masternode rewards to 10 all of a sudden is simply retarded.

People invested in this coin based on the specs that were given at the time. You can't just push significant changes like that driven by greed while ignoring investors and causing poor distribution in the process.

As great this little community started it's not blinded by greed and stupidity.


On another note, do yourselves a favor and ignore equinoxdev.

DASH - 77% volume on Poloniex
XMR - 92% volume on Poloniex
BTS - 47% volume on Poloniex

How anonymous those coins really are when people are trading them on an exchange that requires your name, address and ID to do so, and its existence solely depends on the US government?
Not to mention the centralization involved.

Free transfer means a shitload of spam. No ty.

WTS several masternodes worth of coins, pm if interested.

Number of your masternodes / masternode count * 1440 * 50

Current masternode count is 308. That's 233 coins per day per masternode. ROI is 43 days.

I'm not a huge fan of Eth. I admit its potential and I invested in it but I certainly don't praise it, I just think Monero is snakeoil in its current state.

Privacy is important, no doubt about that and it's sad that so many people don't care about it.
But privacy is non-existent when the exchange of coins happens on a centralized platform which is under the control of another centralized entity that is the US government that has detailed info about you. And they could shatter the exchange anytime they wanted but that's another topic.

Pseudoanonimity like Bitcoin or any other coin has, combined with either a decentralized exchange or multiple traditional exchanges (with even volume) that doesn't depend on a single centralized entity is not even comparable privacy-wise to a coin with privacy while 88% of said coin's volume is traded on one centralized exchange by people whose names and IDs are shared with the US government.

There's no cap on the amount of money that's being pushed around between various currencies in crypto. Eth brought quite a lot of new money into crypto.

That was fast. 

Seriously, the greedy-miners stereotype is getting old; stakers, masternode owners, ICO participants, etc are just as greedy as miners.

In fact, the suggestion of reducing the total coins is nothing but an effort to pump the price so people can dump while probably crippling if not killing the coin in the process. I'm heavily invested in this coin, I have over 25 masternodes but I'll be voting no.

Do you realize how silly you look pushing Monero because of its privacy while you're trading it on an exchange that requires your ID to do so because said exchange bent over to the US government?

Following your analogy, a few limp inches at best. Litecoin is more like the 70+ year-old dude in the gym changing room with his balls hanging lower than his actual dick.

I'm not a huge fan of Ethereum but it achieved more in a few months than Litecoin ever did.

You do realize you ended your post with a dick measuring contest right? I mean if only looking at confirmation times is not a silly dick measuring contest then I don't know what is.

Monero shills.

I don't store historical data. It just compares the balances of the selected coins either by reading the balance of an address from a block explorer API or with a quantity I manually enter. And it also reads the prices from APIs.

It refreshes the data every few seconds so it's not taxing on the API server and I get fresh information.

It tracks the changes compared to the last time the program was launched. The amounts/addresses and other data I enter is written to, and loaded from a simple .ini file which is really easy to use so I don't have to keep entering the same stuff. And I'm not really interested in long term historical data so there's no need for a database.

I can barely code so it's pretty much just a duct taped solution but I have yet to see a better solution and CBA to learn code better.


I also have another software that keeps track of masternodes; how long since the last payment, how many payments were made in the last X period, prjoected earning, etc. This is so masternodes that stopped for some reason are easily identified.

I swear Monero supporters are like Jehovah's witnesses. We all know about XMR at this point, it's been explained to us about a 100 times. Chances are, the 101th time isn't going to change our minds.



I guess it takes one to know one.

Please. If BTC is Coca-Cola then Litecoin is bottled muddy water at best.

Both Lite and Doge are a joke for today's standards as they doesn't offer anything extra at all. I think they should have been dead a long time ago.

Monero is more like bacon flavoured soda; very few people like it and the ones who do can't shut up about it making it that much more unattractive for everyone else.

I have 7 connections but I'm finding a stupid amount of orphans. Anyone else have this issue?
