You should get a job with a central bank. With your propensity for double accounting you're eminently qualified.

It's free if it's obtained at a 100% profit margin.

What's not out of circulation unfortunately is the 340,000 "free" Dash per year from those nodes, that's never been subjected to competitive mining, raining down on markets.

Because Iam carefully analizing moves in blockchains of few biggest and some smaller coins for years,I noticed shift during and after last big bull market in 2017.Every single coin was controlled by no more than few people/groups. By control of coins, I mean these people has enough coins in theirs possesion to do what they want on the market.Some of them are connected via different coins,some are not.During and after last bull market,I called them "superwhales" started to dilute theirs coins more and more.One particular "hyperwhale" sent 10000s of BTCs on exchanges 1-2 days before major ETH moves.One reason for that is that they noticed that theirs transactions is not even close so stealthy as they thought,the other is connected with security reasons - that was the time when more and more KYC and AML regulations started and different governments agencies started to show more and more interest in tracking transactions.So,when Iam talking that you cant talk about wealth distribution of coin via how much coins are concentrated in few biggest addresses  is not some mine subjective thinking based on thin air , it is just empirical result of mine experience of tracking coins through blockchains for years.You can find some articles about it on Internet from the people who do same thing as I. Today wealth distribution through addresses gives people only false impression about major decentralization.Nothing more.Iam not thinking that major wealth centralization is valid only for DASH,but more or less for all coins.

Though "superwhales" diluted theirs coins,their market behaviour stay the same.They are playing on market on the same way as before,one twist here and there,but one thing never changed - the more coin wealth distribution is centralized the harder pump/dump occure.Today, only way to know about real wealth distribution of coin is its market behaviour.When some coin supply is significantly decentralized, it is extremely hard to make some quick pump/dump.Without enough supply in the hands it is suicidal.Price rise or fall looks more like streched out sine wave.Good and bad news and coin developpment progress also had influence.

But,when the coin is heavily centralized,level of centralization is correlated with the speed of price rise or fall.More centralization, bigger the speed of rise or fall,because there are much less pressure from other traders.They simply have not enough power even to slow down superwhales.Also ,news and coin developpment has no influence on price at all which is impossible if the coin distribution is truly decentralized. When the coin goes down there are no good news or developpment progress which can stop it.  Also when it goes up,only some major exchange massive theft can make influence on price.We all saw many times crazy volatility in crypto world on a scale unbeliveable to ever happen on Forex or even stock market,except in the case of penny stocks.Massive volatilty on crypto market means that market is very shallow,so that only one big whale in such shallow sea can make tsunami waves.Dash market is very ,very shallow,just look at buy/sell orders which are so thin even with 10x leverage.

About ETH - congestion is result of coin major sucess and every coin with such level of growth would face probably even worse congestion.BTC had it also,but ETH has much more tools to solve it.DeFi bubble is ready to burst soon and though some people are talking about these tokens as altcoins,I dont think the same.It looks more like ICO 2.0 version.As I said before,I think that Dash has more potential than ETH which was really messy(and still is),but problem is that major DASH holders does not know/want to play on long shot,but just to make quick buck through pump/dump coin trashing.Such behaviour can destroy even the best project.

 

The more coin wealth distribution is centralized, the more it is pumped-dumped with huge amplitudes.DASH is just one of these coins. It is mercilessly trashed to oblivion,
because it is in hands of just few people

There is a lot of information on the Internet that in Venezuela Dash is the most popular cryptocurrency among the population. There even a service worked to transfer coins via SMS. I'm right?

I've been enjoying cryptocurrencies with zero transaction fees like Nano and EOS, as they prove to be economically feasible for cross-border payments. While their level of adoption is not as comparable as Bitcoin or Ethereum, they're still a great option for digital payments. Zero fees and near-instant transaction confirmation times, seem to be the way of the future. Or is it? I mean, what's the catch with cryptocurrencies that don't charge fees to their users? Will they be able to survive for a very long time? Or will they turn into an idea that will fade into oblivion?

Whatever the case may be, cryptocurrencies with zero fees could eventually replace DASH or Bitcoin Cash's place as "digital cash". This greatly contributes towards the adoption of crypto and Blockchain technology in general. The only limitation would be price volatility. But imagine a stablecoin built on a Blockchain network with zero fees. It will be completely revolutionary, in my own opinion. Thoughts

I hope ETH 2.0 will be released soon and transaction fee issue will be solved. We can't switch to another coin because most of altcoins now are based on ETH blockchain network.

What is the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap? What are the phases of Ethereum 2.0?

Ethereum 2.0 is planned to be rolled out in at least three phases: Phase 0, 1, and 2. Phase 0 is planned to launch in 2020, with Phases 1 and 2 to be released in following years.

Phase 0: In the first phase of Ethereum 2.0, the “Beacon Chain” will be implemented. The Beacon Chain stores and manages the registry of validators, and will implement the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for Ethereum 2.0. The original Ethereum PoW chain will continue to run alongside the new Ethereum PoS chain, ensuring there is no break in data continuity.

Phase 1: The second phase of Ethereum 2.0 will likely roll out in 2021. The primary improvement of Phase 1 is the integration of shard chains. Shard chains are a scalability mechanism in which the Ethereum blockchain is “split” into 64 different chains, which allows for parallel transaction, storing,  processing of information. At its most conservative estimate it will enable 64 times more throughput than Ethereum 1.0, but it is designed to be able to handle several hundred times more data than Ethereum 1.0.

Phase 2: The third phase of Ethereum 2.0 will likely be launched in 2021 or 2022. This phase is currently less clearly defined than the above two phases, but will involve adding ether accounts and enabling transfers and withdrawals, implementing cross-shard transfers and contract calls, building execution environments so that scalable applications can be built on top of Ethereum 2.0, and bringing the Ethereum 1.0 chain into Ethereum 2.0 so that Proof of Work can finally be turned off.

Many further improvements are planned for research and development after Phase 2 is complete. Vitalik provides insight into some of these improvements in this easy-to-digest diagram.

Does anybody have a graph showing statistics about at which point these masternodes were created? I mean in month/year or at which price each Dash was when the 1000 were purchased?

To my knowledge there are also official/registered and not registered masternodes operating so will those statistics be current?

In March 2016 Dash was trading at under $5 each so it is all about timing and maximising the opportunities at the right time.

DO YOU PLAN AT DASH TO REDUCE THE COLLATERAL TO CREATE A MASTERNODE? 1000 COINS IS VERY EXPENSIVE

Nice to see some Shakespeare being quoted in this otherwise informative thread:

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

"To delete or not to delete.... that is the question" more like?
