Dash Activates Sporks 15 and 16, Deterministic Masternodes and InstantSend By Default

Dash has activated two sporks finalizing the 0.13 upgrade, locking in deterministic masternodes and activating InstantSend transactions by default.
Finally, what expected from DASH community have finished, with deterministic masternodes that operate through three different keys, including collateral key, voting key, and operator key.
Additionally, the instant sent will be automatic applied for transactions with 4 inputs or lower as the team described in their reports below.

Quote
The system will attempt to “lock” any transaction with 4 or less inputs by default, and remove the additional fee that historically was needed for instant transactions.”

I finished my newest topic on intra-day merits
Observation on interquartile range of intra-day merits with time series plot
As you can see in the time series plot, the medians of intra-day merits have been very stable over time, it has fluctuated in a very narrow range.
The range from q1 (p25) to q3 (p75) represents for 50 percent of intra-day merits. Days have intra-day merits below q1 (p25) or q3 (p75) considered as potential or extremely potential outliers
7746  Other / Meta / Re: Observation on interquartile range of intra-day merits with time series plot on: April 08, 2019, 06:58:50 AM
For the start and end days of each week, you can get them in the quoted post below.
The converted datasets in the quote including two parts, one part for 2018, and another part for 2019.
Enjoy!
Update:

Converted intra-day merits for days in 2019.

INTERQUARTILE RANGE OF INTRA-DAY MERITS WITH TIME SERIES PLOT






(1) Updates will be published on weekly basis.
(2) Updates will be posted in the last thread of the topic (not in the OP) at specific point of time.






Will edit this part later
In short, again, interquartile range represents for 50% of observed data points.
For instance, if you have 100 data points (100 days over weeks), the interquartile range will represents for 50 datapoints in the 'middle range', that ranges from the 25th quartile to the 75th quartile. Interquartile range has its role to exclude outliers, such as maximum, minimum and some extreme large and small data points closely with max and min.
In the same way, median represents nearly the true mean (average) of observed data. It is better than what we usually use, mean or average.
Both median and interquartile range exclude effects from outliers.

Time series plot of median and interquartile range

Notes:
- p25 ~q1;
- p75 ~ q3.
The interquartile range (IQR) ranges from p25 (q1) to p75 (q3), and the IQR represents 50% of observed days.
For example, with the week #2019w13, 50% of of days observed till the end of #2019w13 have their total intra-day merits change from 522 (p25 ~ q1) to 764 (p75 ~ q3).
The median of the same period is 626, it means that there are 50% of observed days have intra-day merits below 626, while the rest 50% of observed days have intra-day merits above 626.

7748  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are any of the top managers involved in any running bounties? on: April 08, 2019, 03:39:03 AM
It is better to get $10 per week instead of waiting months just to get $40 worth of tokens.
It is good and acceptable if eventually participants can get payments at promised payment rates.
However, for month-lasting bounties, there are risks to join bad projects, that might end with ICO fails or scam exits. When such bad cases occur, participants won't get anything for all their works, and their time over months. That's one of the most terrible scenario for bounty participants.
Since the day I joined the forum, I have never joined campaigns of ICOs, because I don't want to waste my time in worst cases.

It is also a recommendation, from my experience, for bounty hunters, and for newbies:
If you can not find campaigns to join or get acceptance from campaigns' managers to join, you should forget about bounties, campaigns.
Instead of spending your time on shit campaigns, you should spend your time to read forum rules, structures, and fundamental topics about the forum, blockchain that will help you become more comprehensively knowledgable; then try to help others if you can help them to solve their questions. This is the way you build up your knowledge, skills, and your account. Then, some day, you will have better chance to join better quality (non-scam, better payment rates) for sure. Believe me!

TryNinja gave a topic that might help you, but I suggest you to give the name or link to the profile of your locked account, so someone might help you with more details, such as potential reasons of the account lock. You should make should that your account got locked or got banned.
Furthermore, for any cases, when you logged in your account, you will see message that shows potential reasons, that you also should post it here.

If you need help, you should show proof here, there is no reason to hide them all when you need help from others.

There is abstract of my last week analyses, on both intraday and intraweek merits.
ABSTRACT


Intra-day merits:
Notes:
- The part of the asbstract describes figures of intraday merits over the period from 19/2/2018 to 01/4/2019 (truncated dataset);
- Days from 24/1/2018 to 18/2/2018 truncated due to highly potential outliers; and days after 01/4/2019 truncated as well due to incomplete week (the 2019w14);
- Statistics presented in the post are for truncated dataset

(1) Potential outliers are days that have intraday total merits beyond 159 or 1127;
(2) Median of intraday merits over the period is 626;
(3) 50% of observed days have their intra-day merits range from 522 to 764 (the interquartile range);
(4) Friday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has lowest intraday merits in terms of both median and mean, at 569, and 616, respectively.
(5) Monday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has highest intraday merits in terms of mean, at 742.
(6) There is a flippening between Wednesday and Monday in terms of highest intra-day merits, with figures for Wednesday and Monday are 660 and 658, respectively;
(7) There are 26 potential outliers in total, and there is only three potential outlier days happened in early weeks of 2019, on 09/01/2019, 14/01/2019, and 27/3/2019, at 1161, 1127, and 1249, respectively.
<8> Minimum and maximum of intraday merits (full dataset) are 312 and 13018, on 11/2/2019 and 24/1/2018 respectively.


Intra-week merits:
Notes:
The part of the abstract use full dataset, only dropped last two days due to incomple week (2019w10).

(1)   The median of intra-week merits is 4510;
(2)   50% of observed weeks (62 weeeks in total), have total merits in the range from 3854 to 5487 (the interquaritle range of intra-week merits);
(3)   Minimum and maximum of intraweek merits are 3065 and 30949, in 2018w35, and 2018w4, respectively;
(4)   Seven potential outliers [beyond 1405 or 7937], all of them occurred in the year 2018.

More details can be found there: Time Series Analysis on Distributed Merits in the forum (daily, weekly, monthly)
As we can see in the abstract, with truncated dataset, there are only three extremely potential outliers, that happened on 09/1/2019, 14/1/2019, and 27/3/2019, range from 1161 to 1249.

Time series plot

Basic statistics:
- 50% of observed weeks (62 weeks) have total intra-week merits above 4510, whilst the rest 50% of them have total intra-week merits below 4510. 4510 is the median - p50.
- 50% of observed weeks have total intra-week merits fluctuated in the range from 3854 to 5487 (the interquartile range, from p25 to p75, in raw statistics below).

Medians and means of intra-day merits over days of weeks.
Colors:
- Green: highest.
- Red: Lowest.

It is unnecessary to know exactly they exchanged merits and money for those merits.
Simply looking at post history, if the post history shows one user always post trash posts and another plus point is those merited posts are shitty ones too.
If the phenomeno occur from time to time, or one or two posts received 20 or 50 merits with one-line posts, trash contents, it is enough to say about merit abusements.
How can you report to moderator of the Merit is being sold outside the forum? I have seen this kind of offers as well in Facebook groups that is related in cryptocurrencies. Its hard to catch them because if its being sold outside the forum, you can't tell what username is being used by the seller unless someone is willing to go undercover and play as a buyer.
However, admin (theymos) even don't think people should tag merit abusers with red (negative trust) because admin think that they will run out of sMerits soon. It is obviously that the opinion of admin applied for small abusements only.

But I think if there would be a penalty to merit seller, merit buyer should be treated the same way too.
Yes, reputable users or user who have ability to earn significant amount of merits won't sell their sMerits for such $15 earnings because they can earn much more without such risk of merit abusements.
most of those who get them in large amounts are members with a good reputation which they can not risk.
7757  Other / Meta / Re: Merits getting abused like this? What can be done? on: April 06, 2019, 03:31:01 PM
With the cost of $15 per merit, it means that a Member need to spend $1350 for more 90 merits to become a Full Member.
The cost, in my opinion, is to expensive. Additionally, how long the buyers (of Full Member, for example) can get their money back?
Years, maybe, and there are some other risks such as being discovered as merit abusers, and got red trust then don't have chance to join good campaign.
Moreover, even they buy 90 merits to be promoted to Full Members, if their post histories contain mostly shitshows, they won't have chance to get acceptance, too. Because managers do not only care about merits, they also care more about post quality.
7758  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0 on: April 06, 2019, 02:37:32 PM
To be honest, no crypto currency could ever survive long term if it doesn't have a solid community and I think DOGE clearly demonstrate this strength which is rarely seen among other crypto projects. Smiley
It seems that what Dogecoin need to survive is its community, it does not need to have developers behind. Over years, without or very limited updated of Source codes, Dogecoin has still get strong support from its community, and the coin has gradually but solidly built up its very good use cases around so many aspects, on global scale.
I have never seen any coin like Dogecoin, surived and grown well nearly without developers, without source code's updates.
