Moreover, Evan announced a fix for the masternode payment issue around that time too.

a big assumption, but IMO there is currently less day trading going on with Darkcoin than with other alt coins. Moreover, with the last "dump" there are now more investors who are in for the long term, and less weak hands. Therefore, a rise is not necessarily followed by a correction, at least not for those values.

That's pessimistic and I don't see why a correction was due. Never know with Darkcoin.

It has to blast through the 22 now, otherwise we have a "problem".

I can't find the exact post, but I remembering Evan saying there would be a limit of 5.

Thanks for the questions. It does seem like you're missing something. Although, it might not be your fault. The whitepaper is definitely out of date. We've done a lot of work at tweaking the trust model so that it can't be exploited. I'll try to explain how it works briefly, then hopefully if I get time I can revisit the whitepaper soon.

- Masternodes don't have any power over the transactions. They just coordinate the signing. All parties must sign in order for the transaction to be valid. So there's no way to cheat and take the money.
- Users submit collateral. At a later phase if a user doesn't provide the signature as agreed, the transaction will fail. Without colateral this could be done over and over bringing the system to a halt.
- Masternodes have the ability to take the collateral transaction if they wish, but it's paid to the bounty fund. So it doesn't benefit them, it just benefits the community. This removed the incentive to cheat and take the money.

There's no relying on pools at all anymore. Payments to masternodes are done with a voting system embedded into the blockchain. It would take 51% of the mining power to pay the wrong masternode, or another party (because the last few miners to solve blocks must agree on who should be paid)

Transaction currently require 3 parties to be created, so there's a short wait. There are no fake transactions to make that quicker, although this could be done. There's usually 5 or so transaction per 2.5 minutes, so the network should be able to function pretty efficiently under these requirements.

Hoping that helps . Thanks,

Evan

It wasn't so much that, it was a moderator giving technical opinions, in public, on traded currencies on their own exchange

That could be seen as influencing the market...good or bad impact on a traded asset, that sort of thing shouldn't happen. Need mods, to mod the mods.
