Don't get me wrong, it's not bad to have emotions. But emotions will more often than not lead you to bad financial decisions.

Unless you, afbit and tok are the 3 Wise Men, your shared opinion is just that, an opinion.

The reason I find the 3 of your responses here so emotional is that I could probably chart your negative (and positive or no) posts to the price of DASH. When DASH was $120+ it was eerily quiet in here... when DASH dipped below $110, panic troll posts started to appear and within the hour of DASH falling below $100, toknormal revisited after a 2 week hiatus. Then you guys quickly piled on with the same negative rant.

You supported DASH with positive posts so faithfully years ago when the price looked better by the day and now that you deem it to be in freefall you only post negative things about DASH. That seems emotional to me. Price is dictating your mood. Of course you say you have reasons. But that's been discussed ad nauseum now. Nothing substantially has changed with DASH's economic model since masternodes were introduced. So either the problem has always existed and no one was smart enough last bull run or you are exaggerating the significance of the reward change. Generally speaking I don't think people are smart enough when it comes to money. They let their emotions drive their decisions (hidden behind "reasons"). Selling low and buying high is an emotional outcome.

Is DASH's economic model perfect? Nope, never said that. Can it be improved? Perhaps, but not by berating people that disagree with you.


Did you sell at those times? If you sold at 0.005 BTC it seems that you did not. But I do agree that the masternodes voting themselves a higher reward is a bad look and not worth it especially when it amounts to 0.04 DASH or something so negligible.


Now that one makes more sense in when you actually did sell. XMR sits on it's important support and looks likely that it won't fall below it. However, I invite you to look more closely at the LTC/BTC chart and see how LTC breached a very important support in it's first bear market vs BTC. Many thought it was to be left for dead too. Then within a week or so, LTC went up 7x and was only down 50% from its ATH vs USD. Funnily enough if DASH does something similar in its first bear market against BTC, it will also be at about 50% of its ATH vs USD.

Note that the alt season has not started yet. Only minor rumblings... last time BTC went about 15% above its previous ATH before diving 30%. On the recovery alt season started. This time BTC went over 100% over its previous ATH to about $41K and it just recently touched about $28K (30% down). Seems some alts are recovering faster than BTC now. Are we only weeks from altseason?


Yeah, I think that's inevitable. If DASH had fallen off page 1 of CMC or even out of the top 50 you would have a stronger case. But the fact that it's still in the 30's despite CMC now double counting BTC (by including WBTC) and there being about 5 stablecoins ahead of DASH means that DASH is still a top altcoin. It's not like it fell to $6 like someone else predicted.

But why so emotional? Why do you get mad when someone disagrees with you?

You say you made a great move for selling at 0.005 BTC and I say so far it seems that way... but in the life of DASH, relatively speaking, you did sell at the bottom. And I would guess, that the odds are, that DASH will revisit 0.01 BTC this year and likely even much higher. Do I know for sure? No, but don't get mad at me. Perhaps what you bought with the DASH you sold will perform better or just as well anyway.

But it's the high emotions and the supposed 'reasons' people have that make many cryptos so profitable. If you can keep your emotions in check and buy when people are so negative and sell when people are so positive, you'll do much better than most.

I get what you are saying but to me its all about the reward allocation.

 

You said it was the bottom, Dash was above 0.005bitcoin when i sold. It was not the bottom. Dash is now 0.0032. I could have half a masternode extra now for every masternode sold then

I don't know why anyone would listen to you. You give worst ever advice

We had a big whale named otoh hodling about 500BTC worth of DASH, but it was manoy years ago.
I think I should get the clue and sold when otoh left.

Same problem, delete all and paste what you write and same vram problem, today was working fine, i did not update nothing and stop mining

Well I could of worded it better but no, they were not actually all mined already :-p I meant to say, there is no proof of stake thing going on here. Nakamoto consensus is the baseline, masternodes don't mint coins out of thin air and the mining schedule is fully known. Bitcoin has nodes, dash has nodes, distribution is better in dash.

As for dictate, I have no idea what you're talking about. F?ck the reward, I'd be here if it was 25% or less. A lot of MNOs are still here even when they took a 95% hit. You might want to say thank you for supporting the network when end users were free to sell at any price without penalty. Masternodes are not some magical entity, they are the same as bitcoin nodes except they are collateralized to build a reputation network.

Hi ! same here... My Sapphire RX470 8GB suddenly stop mining.

hi what is the best way to increase performance on 1080 TI's,

are people still downloading ETHlargement pill and similar, or is putting  -straps to 3 or 6 sufficient ?

Would be great if someone can post their stable settings with 1080 TI, do you also use nvmem <n> ?.. Thanks

Nobody outside of masternode holders has any difficulty with understanding this and it has therefore exposed a major flaw in the governance system. Turkeys & Christmas.


Indeed. Since there's no point in being a means of exchange without being a store of value first.

Wake up, difficulty increased by 33%

Im mining etherium with rx 480 4GB with 5.2e , today the hasrate go down so bad, is there any other way to keep my 4gb to still mining ETH? Thanks

this is the config

-cclock 1130,1130,1130
-mclock 2100,2100,2100
-daglim 4078
-dagrestart 1

Give 1000 Dash tomorrow to random wallets in South America, and I guarantee that all Dash holders, as soon as they know how to convert it into dollars, will do it quickly.

They won't even wonder what Dash is, if it's a coin, a reward for being smart, or a McDonald's promotion.

And this I tell you because I know it, and I have seen it.

Not only happens with Dash, the same happens with LTC, BTC ...


Countries with significant needs for essential consumer goods do not think of investing or maintaining a long-term investment when they can convert it into dollars that they need for yesterday.

Masternodes do not vote in a coherent way, after long years of throwing money into a bottomless pit, we can openly say that masternodes vote without thinking or evaluating the project.

I have always said that if there is no good project, it is better to burn the dash in an address without a private key than to deliver it to a bad investment.

Imagine if all the Dash thrown in bad projects had been invested in gold for example on behalf of the holders.

For each Dash to have, for example, 1/20 part of an ounce assigned ... wouldn't this have been better?

My whole life has been dedicated to investment, and venture capital, and I have seen enormous stupidity here when it comes to distributing the budget.

I still remember Ryan spending thousands of dollars to change the Dash logo when a 14-year-old photoshopped it just as well.

Then people like F. Gutierrez who passed through the Dash Core Group with hardly any noise.

Years ago I asked please to hire a global marketing company, and they told me no, it was better to wait for the product to be finished.

While the product is being finished, the price drops from $ 500 to $ 60.

Good product, bad management, that's Dash.

OK. 4 x RX 580 8 GB Sapphire Nitro, Windows 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, hdd 320 GB, virtual memory 40 GB, blockchain driver (Robin Hood). I have several same rigs as above, only MB and cpu are different, but everywhere is the same problem, around 50% of incorrect shares. It works like charm for several years, but problem starts before one month. Only lol miner 1.16 work well, Claymore don't, Phoenix don't (all versions, but I used Phoenix 5.0 and everything was good until November). I guess Windows 7 is problem now, but I don't want to change to Windows 10 until I am forced to do that, because lol miner works, even with 2 MH less per card.
I'm asking developer to tell us if he/they will solve this problem, or?
Thank you.

Hi!
 I want to buy ASIC under Ethereum.
 I only mined on the GPU.
 Question does ASIC already have the program sewn in?
Or will Phoenix need to be specially configured for ASIC?
 Thanks!

Dear all,
I changed the drivers, but there is no change in power consumption?
If you have other suggestions, the cards consume over 110 watts

I really hope Claymore issues an update soon. 

I'm getting far less shares with the same hashrate using Phoenix Miner than I was with Claymore's legendary v15 - Something around 15 percent less shares. 

Sad times at the ol' rig farm.
