[ANN][DRIP][POS][MN] Now offering masternode monitoring and hosting services

[drip]

All payouts are fully up to date. The next DRIP payout will be in approximately 12 hours time.

The rate of DRIP given for LUX mining has been increased to 125 DRIP for every 1 LUX (in light of the recent RVN mining pool attacks and price fluctuations in RVN and LUX since the original rates were set).

what if i do mining RVN from suprnova, and do setting payout for given drip address, is that possible?

No, you cannot use your DRIP address when mining to the pools. You must contact us with your DRIP address and we'll send you a linked RVN address to use on the pools.

yes it is done according to the instructions and I get some drip from my RVN mining on the mining pool. this is a good job, and waiting for news for the next exchange

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

As mentioned last Sunday, our expectation was to hit the CryptoBridge listing fee by tomorrow and we've currently raised 0.985662303 BTC - so we're on track.

It's a little over 13 days until we hit the next phase in our rewards structure. As some may be aware, CryptoBridge offer fast and slow listings and we're going for the slower, 1 BTC, version. We will engage in initial discussions with CryptoBridge throughout next week with a view to paying the listing fee by end of week or early next week. That should see us listed at around the same time as rewards increase.

It'll also give us time to raise further listing fees - we'll surpass the CryptoBridge listing fee tomorrow and continue onward on our journey towards masternodes website listing fees and the fee for a backup exchange.

[drip]

For those of you unfamiliar with DRIP, we are using an alternative approach to the 'masternode sale' approach used by many coins.

A typical 'masternode sale' coin has an early sale of masternodes and, as a result, 85%+ of the coins remain in the hands of masternode investors from day 1. This is usually around 6 people and, in a lot of cases, the developers run off with funds raised before even paying for an exchange listing - or resort to listing on very poor quality exchanges where they, together with masternode investors, proceed with a co-ordinated dump of the coin before moving onto the next.

DRIP is different. We are not looking to raise as much bitcoin as possible as quickly as possible. We are looking to be truly decentralized and this requires a fair distribution of coins. The DRIP approach is to raise enough for listing fees needed to start off our coin - and no more. It is done using an approach that fairly distributes the coins among a wider audience. Instead of potential coin owners paying us bitcoin or mining our coins directly, they mine LUX or RVN and this, instead of masternode investors, funds our listing fees.

Our intention is to end up with approximately 200 miners mining RVN or LUX to DRIP-owned addresses by the time our funding round ends in a little under 2 weeks. These miners are currently receiving DRIP on a daily basis at a rate of 1.7 RVN = 1 DRIP or 1 LUX = 125 DRIP. They are also staking the coins and earning significant rewards.

If you'd like to join in, contact us privately with a DRIP address and we'll provide you with a linked RVN or LUX address to which you can mine using a pool of your choice.

As per the subject of this topic, our exchange listing fee is within hours of being fully funded (we're avoiding smaller exchanges and intend to start with CryptoBridge). The risk faced by our earliest miners of this goal not being achieved is a distant memory. When we're exchange listed, our miner funding program will stop. At that point, DRIP will be available on the exchange and Proof of Stake rewards will be increasing (at block 43,200).

Current funding via mining stands at 1.051403823 Bitcoin. In other words, we're done with CryptoBridge funding and just over 25% of the way through masternodes.online funding. I expect masternodes.online to be fully funded towards the middle of next week.

Thanks Maverik93, some interesting times ahead 

CryptoBridge listing should be complete by next week (as we're not using their triple-priced fasttrack service). The masternodes listings websites should have us shortly after that - we'll be paying their fees very shortly after we've been listed on CryptoBridge.

Some great news let do it! I like this project.

A forum has been added to https://www.dripcoin.tech/ under the resources tab. There's no real need to join just yet as the primary purpose that the forum will serve is discussion of proposals put forward for masternode voting. With this in mind, forum activity will be low to start with and will grow as the masternode count grows.

Here is the new wallet look-and-feel that has just been posted on Discord for some community discussion. The overall theme has been changed from green to blue and the logo has been changed to that provided by coinwiz, one of our community members. The design has not been finalized as the community can still opt for one of the alternative designs.

We are down to the final 10 days of mining. There's still plenty time to request a RVN or LUX address from the DRIP team so that you can mine and earn some DRIP to use for staking - with modest returns on staking for the next 10 days and significant returns for the following months.

We are down to the final 9 days of mining. There's still plenty time to request a RVN or LUX address from the DRIP team so that you can mine and earn some DRIP to use for staking - with modest returns on staking for the next 9 days and significant returns for the following months.

Discussions have been initiated with CryptoBridge and a listing is imminent.

For those of you querying input sizes for staking, the ideal size constantly evolves. However, if you look at the block explorer within the wallet, you'll see what size of input won each blocks staking reward.

Just select 'Tools > Blockchain Explorer'. For each block, you will see a transaction that has a certain sized input with an output that is equal to that amount plus 9 extra DRIP. This is the input that won the staking reward for that block.

For example, I can see that the size of the inputs for the last 15 blocks' stake reward winners was 418/905/779/363/644/409/445/1068/445/754/914/126/90/463/1068. With this information, personally, I'd probably choose an input size of 400-450.
