[ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN

[bathrobehero]

WTS several masternodes worth of coins, pm if interested.

[waffles99]

No need to change the amount of coins. People suggesting that just want to dump at a higher price.

No, relative to the distribution schedule of other coins it seems high for that period of time, so it's about competition.

"we may see different cryptocurrencies choosing different points in political tradeoff space, including adjusting the governance model, consensus algorithm, money supply, fee policy, etc, and this may end up making consumers happier as their individual preferences can be better satisfied. If we want to maintain maximum network effects in this environment, then the best choice is to let the cities bloom separately and simply build fast planes and trains - ie. optimally efficient cross-chain transaction infrastructure such as btcrelay, shapeshift, etc."

With another 49M coins to be distributed over the next 5 months is going to see the price of this coin at 200 sat.

By cutting the total to around 20M it would relieve the mining dumps and give this coin a chance to fly as it rightly deserves so.

By cutting the supply we all benefit.

I would also support a cut in supply although by reduction in PoW.

I could not agree more!

Request for reducing of PoW block reward and/or max supply always comes up during PoW phase for so many coins when it starts to do well.
But reducing max coin supply doesn't miraculously make every coin be worth more without an increase in distribution and userbase.
Also, having some mining (including auto-sell) actually allows for a constant flow of new coin sales that new investors can buy.

Personally, I think reducing the block reward to reduce daily sell pressure is okay though but not compulsory. (e.g. maybe from 250 to 50)
Then just increase PoW period by same factor. So 50 million extra coins minted over the next 25 months not 5 months. (just an example)

[kokokoin]

Ok, now we have two opposing opinions. Only way to find which one is supported more is to vote.
I think we should vote in two rounds:
1. Community votes for decreasing of supply generally.
2. If majority says "yes" in first round we chose which specific plan of decreasing supply we want.

Our community is not so big right now so voting for 1 week per round is enough.

I'm not speaking english good enough to write all advantages of reward decreasing to make a post, which will be linked in proposal. I'm asking somebody to write this post. And i can't find info in this thread and on DASH forum how to make a proposal. Could anyone give link to this info?

Devs - Maybe we should have "How to create MN proposals & vote" section on the OP?

[kokokoin]

Now is block 44 444. Total coins supply is 11 111k + 60k premine (which will be destroyed).
Last block of POW is 259200, when supply will be 64 800k.
I suggest to cut POW rewards by half at block 59 200, then at blocks 109 200, 159 200, 209 200 (every 50k blocks or 34-35 days).

Blocks 1 - 59 200:
POW reward: 250 DNET
Total supply: 14 800 000

Blocks 59 201 - 109 200:
POW reward: 125 DNET
Total supply: 21 050 000

Blocks 109 201 - 159 200
POW reward: 62.5 DNET
Total supply: 24 175 000

Blocks 159 201 - 209 200:
POW reward: 31.25 DNET
Total supply: 25 735 500

Blocks 209 201 - 259 200
POW reward: 15.625 DNET
Total supply: 26 518 750

Maybe we can even start POS phase at block 209 200.

lo guys,
i have set up 3 masternodes, "overall" : "Successfully started 3 masternodes, failed to start 0, total 3",

Im not seeing any rewards from running them though. How can i test they are working ok?
How often to rewards come in on average?

After starting them for the first time, it could take 12 to 24 hours for first payments to come through.
Then it'll be more frequent and at a more steady rate depending on how many MN you have running.

Ok cool, i have 3 up so hopefully will see something nice soon

i last question...

Number of connections 8 (In: 0 / Out: 8 )

Does this indicate my port closed for incoming? Or is this because they are new nodes?

Type "masternode list-conf" in console.

We have spoken with a VPS Hosting company to come up with a Low Cost Masternode Option for Darknet. When you Purchase your Node Hosting, it will come with Darknet Daemons pre-installed so all you have to do is configure your darknet.conf file with your random rpcuser/rpcpassword and your masternode key..

$1.50 a month is an Excellent deal

Never set up a masternode before.  Will my coins be secure if I run MNs on a service like this?

[jakiman]

Okay. To get the balls rolling for the reduced max coin supply and/or decreasing, here are the proposals that can be voted by masternode owners.
Thanks to kokokoin for providing a template to go by. So first proposal is what kokokoin proposed. Second is a less aggressive model for variety.

Both provide at least 2.5x or 3.5x the current coin supply (respectively) at end of PoW. So it still increases by a fair bit.
Still keeping 4 more months of PoW while generating less auto-sell pressure & lessen daily inflation during PoW phase.

Feel free to vote, provide feedback and/or make proposals of your own.
They are my first attempt at proposal creation. Was a good practice.
