Whew! Bitfinex found my coins, which I sent to an old deposit address, and returned them! YAAAY! I'm so relieved! I must never do that again, but with my memory, ugh! I must make a new wallet that doesn't have that address saved! LOL. Now I have to go donate some coins to tungfa's write fundraiser: https://dashtalk.org/threads/writer-fundraise.5622/#post-59280. I don't have much to give, but if we all give a little, it turns into a lot  (don't look for it right away, sorry, have to open other computer, and the chickens need feeding and my new plants out front need watering ;P But I'll get to it, promise!) Wow! Congrats! I guess they have really good backups  |

.....Long post here......
I assumed that toknormal was talking about Dash having spam attacks. It wasn't clear. I thought I'd alert the developers to the Bitcoin fork problem anyway and how it affected other altcoins based on Bitcoin, as reported in cointelegraph. I saw it just after it came out. Thanks for the compliment and the reassurance. Yep, spam attacks are not related to this blockchain split, it's just soft-fork wasn't going the way it was designed because half of bitcoin miners effectively ignored it and basically "lied" to the network telling that they are capable of mining (and verifying) v3 blocks while they were not. But that's an interesting coincidence for sure. PS. Btw we had many forks back in old days so Dash miners are used to forks and they upgrade quite fast now to stay on the right chain as much as possible. And that's also why even if I can't say it for sure I still hardly believe most of them are using the latest source/binaries available. |

Joining chat rooms is not my scene but I read this article in cointelegraph after reading your spam attack theory. It says that Bitcoin has forked two ways each 50% in both directions. It also says that all altcoins based on Bitcoin are at risk because of this. I read somewhere that Dash is a Bitcoin based altcoin. The article says :- Bitcoin-based currencies
All cryptocurrencies, which have Bitcoin codebase in its core, have the same issue with transaction signature verification by OpenSSL libraries. That means that potentially every altcoin network might have problems with block rejection due to different signature encoding by different clients. http://cointelegraph.com/news/114794/miners-lost-over-50000-from-the-bitcoin-hardfork-last-weekendCould this be the reason why things are going wrong with Dash as you suggest? This is something the Dash developers could reassure Dash investors about. How about it you guys? Things are not going wrong with Dash, not sure where you got this info from Below is a lightly modified/combined X-post from https://dashtalk.org/threads/no-dash-mentioned-miners-lost-over-50-000-from-the-bitcoin-hardfork-last-weekend.5620/We merged BIP66 a long time ago https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/178 so there should be no OpenSSL issues that could affect consensus on Dash network since most miners are using version 0.11.2.x I believe and this means that consensus is not affected by any changes in openssl so no forks should happen even if large miners would compile daemon with some different version of openssl (if some of them decide to upgrade openssl and recompile for example). Also you can check for yourself that all blocks are v3 now: #!/bin/bash
BLOCK=`dashd getinfo | grep blocks | awk '{print $3}' | sed -e 's/[",]//g'`
BLOCKHASH=`dashd getblockhash $BLOCK`
BLOCKSTOTAL=1000
V3COUNT=0
echo "Checking versions for $BLOCKSTOTAL blocks back from block $BLOCK $BLOCKHASH"
for(( i=1; i<= $BLOCKSTOTAL; i++)); do
BLOCKHASH=`dashd getblockhash $BLOCK`
VERSION=`dashd getblock $BLOCKHASH | grep version | awk '{print $3}' | sed -e 's/[",]//g'`
#echo "$i Block $BLOCK $BLOCKHASH $VERSION"
printf "."
if [[ $VERSION -eq 3 ]]; then
V3COUNT=$((V3COUNT+1))
fi
BLOCK=$((BLOCK-1))
done
echo "
V3 blocks $V3COUNT/$BLOCKSTOTAL" Checking versions for 1000 blocks back from block 299678 00000000002027f6cabeaddd3111bd6c72f3c856e814940b7c0d074a8c9d75e4
...
V3 blocks 1000/1000 SPV-minig problem shouldn't be the case also simply because our blockchain/tx rate is still quite small and there are no benefits in implementing SPV-mining imo. PS. Great first post btw  |

pic with the moon Nice photo The position of the moon corrisponds ~11:36 p.m. @ 3:00 a.m. the moon is in the top of the sky  Well... It's 3:15 a.m. here, I'm looking at the (full?) moon and you know.... it looks pretty much the same PS. damn it's moving so fast, I never really noticed....  EDIT: to make it more related to this thread - I'm also looking through code and debugging some stuff but no big progress here, small fixes only It`s almost 3am here and the moon is on the top as I said yesterday.... not looking at debug.log but some service duties edit: saw a good film right now - Survivor - with Pierce Brosnan & Milla Jovovich Well, that means we leave in different places PS. Hmm.. The man from "The Thomas Crown Affair" & the woman from "Resident Evil" ?? I need to find a copy PPS. Looks like Evan found and squashed the bug https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/a89b0e705fa8fac24c7cfcde52e517ca15246905Yay! |

Through this https://bitinfocharts.com/darkcoin/ I found that the rewards per block was increased up to 8.38 Dash. Anyone please explain me: Does it means the fewer miners the higher rewards per block? And how about max coins? Will the max coins can be much more higher than 22 millions Dashs? Thank you, Yes - less miners = more reward Does not affect max coins Actually, it does effect the max coins. However, we're WAY below the required rewards to get to 22 million coins. The way we've been going, it's more like the max # of coins to be produced will be closer to 16 million according to an estimate I did for myself a while back. This is from memory, but I doubt we'll hit 19 million in 100 years. And that doesn't include 10% coins that may never be created due to no approved projects being started later on, as it may become unnecessary to spend the money. My only point being that it does effect the max number of coins, but even if mining is light, we'll probably never hit that 22 million coin mark. Emission chart with the lowest reward possible (tnx poiuty!): https://dash.org.ru/pages/stats.php#emission~18.6M with the lowest reward, so ~22M is actually quite possible because on average it's a bit higher Thanks for your answer. But what would happen if the Difficulty still low year after year? Would the Emission reduce? Thanks, It works the other way around - when diff goes down reward/emission goes up. So we are almost always on the lowest reward because miners are trying to get more. And to do so they have to balance right on the edge of it - they don't want to throw more hashes when reward is already the lowest one but they don't want to miss a block when reward gone even slightly up. |

it there a command I can use to paginate : netstat -an | grep 9999  netstat -an | grep 9999 | more Right than - that did work but not working with in combination with --color=always netstat -an | grep 9999 | more --color=always or any variation that I try I really want paginate and color always on : netstat -an | grep 9999 so far it one or the other - lol and the other option is to limit the number of connections within the .conf = maxconnections=XX of which - the more the better Right now I have 31 and it "over-flows" the page ugh - - -paginate and colors lol OR add this line to your .bashrc file alias grep='grep --color=always'then run source .bashrcand you'll be able to run netstat -an | grep 9999 | moreand always get colored output  |

Hit "Enter" @UdjinM6 - I love your work - but - that was just a smart-ass remark. Of course I hit the 'ENTER' key - =plam to face - ugh Sorry, but even when you insert "daemon=1" in you dash.conf config file (I wonder how are you able to run daemon without it) you'll still need to hit "Enter"  Please be more familiar with this command "dash-cli masternode start". "dashd" might not be able to do what you want in near future. @TheLazieR - Please explain what you mean - Gonna need more than that from a "Newbie" and possibly a "Sock-puppet" Troll acct. but - I'm to damn lazy to go look at your post history - ugh Migrating to 0.10 bitcoin will split "old" dashd to 1) dashd - daemon 2) dash-cli - lightweight cli program to run rpc commands EDIT: and "dashd some_command" will not be available anymore |
