[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[Kienbui]

I have a problem:
--> dashd running            : NO

congratulations! you found a bug! Sorta.

That test looks for a pidfile at ~/.dash/dashd.pid

Which the daemon doesn't create sometimes.

I'm guessing you haven't restarted that wallet in a while, or it'd be there.
(I'm pretty sure it creates it on exit, but I'm guessing.)

See if that file is there.  If not do:

Code:

./dash-cli stop ; sleep 10 ; ./dashd

or, even better:

Code:

./dashman restart now

and look again.

I tried, but that problem still persist.

if that file isn't being created, try:

Code:

touch ~/.dash/dashd.pid

then restart dashd and see if it's put it's pid in it by doing:

Code:

cat ~/.dash/dashd.pid

and see if it spits out a number.

I can still see that file ~/.dash/dashd.pid
and its content is "26097"

Is the problem still present?
Is your dashd pid 26097?

do ps 26097 and see if you get a dashd out

Code:

$ ps 26097
  PID  TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
26097  ?        SLsl   5:00 dashd

[110110101]

.....

My setup is this:

Code:

mkdir ~/bin
ln -s ~/.dash/dash-cli ~/bin
ln -s ~/.dash/dashd ~/bin
echo 'export PATH=~/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

With my single addition of ~/bin to PATH (the .bashrc addition), adding things to the search path (run anywhere) is just a matter of symlinking them into ~/bin
......

Thanks for the tip! So I decided to bite the bullet and use a local ~/bin and use symlinks from there. Apparently .bashrc and .bash_profile didn't exist for my user, but once these files where setup and paths added, everything seems to work as expected. Thank you once again for a great tool moocowmoo!

Yes,

26097 ?        SLsl   1:16 /root/dashd

I'll have to try a /root install (it's not typical, nor safe!) and see if I can reproduce the problem.
In the meantime, ignore the false result.

The funds available for self-sustainable decentralized governance by blockchain are made possible via superblocks. The funds available are not created in addition to the stated emission, block rewards are effectively split miners 45% / masternodes 45% / decentralized governance 10%, but allocation of decentralized governance funds are subject to approval. If not all funds set aside for decentralized governance are allocated, the funds are never created. The approval of projects (and the allocation of the funds) is decided by Dash masternode owners, stakeholders in this cryptocurrency project. It is not inconceivable that those who own smaller Dash holdings could pool their funds to create a masternode vote as individuals within the masternode to establish a single vote that will be cast by the masternode. The projects that are approved and therefore the allocation of funds and emission of the currency (to a certain extent) depend on the votes cast via the masternodes.

Just as voters democratically electing officials, or corporate shareholders voting on proposals may not always make the "right" decision, we may not necessarily either, but at least we can have our say and allocate funds in the way that we think will help Dash to grow and give us the best return on our investment. It certainly more than can be said about the decisions made by central bankers which deal with matters deemed to be too difficult to understand for the plebs (I must admit I don't understand the policy of governments promoting austerity and then central banks encouraging them to spend freely by buying their bonds on a massive scale), or other cryptocurrencies which rely on a whip-round. Good luck with that.

Interesting blogpost, thanks for sharing the link! ~50 Dash per day is some serious mining power. Unfortunate people who are running bad torrents on oversized gaming rigs...

Wheres a good place to find dash charts. I see its not on bitcoin wisdom anymore..

Hopefully we'll be able to stop this type of mining practice in the future (after a democratic vote of course)...

The goal is to make a confirmationless wallet, where all transactions are protected by IX. 51% attacks become much less powerful in that case, they can't really touch IX. That would protect our millions of users we're currently shooting for (valid / non-illegal users btw), which leaves an attacker one option... to buy masternodes to attack Dash. We know how that will go.

We really do have an end-to-end solution to all problems within crypto now. I'm working on a 50+ page whitepaper that details the rest of the solution, I'm quite excited about it  

Here's another one for good measure. We have sub-quorums for super secure tasks, but we could implement full-quorum based actions the masternode network can take as a whole. For example, banning attacking pools from the network, people, countries, etc.

Whatever happened to 2fa being implemented on the protocol level? I remember a nice little pump occurring on that news. And how did this 'decentralized' voting mechanism get a higher priority than masternode blinding? That's concerning for a couple reasons. The first being the horrendous and suspicious launch circumstances of the coin and the resulting awful coin distribution, limiting the privacy capabilities of the coin, but also that these large holders basically can change the path of the coin if just two or three of them decide to make a change using the voting system under the pretense of 'community consensus'. Also concerning is that the first couple initiatives passed are to put even more coins in the hands of the few, and then to create the OTC system allowing them to unload them without (hopefully) wrecking their sell price.

I happily donated 30 drk (around $90 usd at the time) towards the video initiative before the unilateral name change nonsense, when the coin was still privacy centric. But then the tiny group of decision makers decided to change the name and purpose of the coin shortly afterwards, as well as decide to completely change the goal of what the video was to accomplish. Anyways, I'd be curious to see where my money went to, even if I don't believe in this project anymore. Has vid been completed?

Thanks!!
Tomorrow will be a big day in cryptoworld, Maybe we could set a countdown, a "superblock countdown"  

I wonder how long until they dump them so they can get their cash.

I hope that they sell this dash offmarket, they trust on his project, if they dump... dash will die...

I just wanted to say I disagree.  Sure, at first the price will go down, but I'd like to see Dash trading a lot more, and see liquidity happening.  But either way it doesn't really matter at this time because Dash, and all cryptos, are hardly used in the wild.  When you can buy your gas, your cup of coffee, etc... with Dash, at least in a few places, things will quickly change.  And it will come.  These things can't happen overnight, there's an infrastructure that has to catch up.

In the meantime, well, the only action is from traders, and it's hard to care about how they're making out for me, 'cause the few times I've tried to make money trading, I lost, LOL.  So if traders are making a killing, I just get jealous, LOL.

Good questions!  The answer to all of them is 'Forget about it, DASH is obviously a scam.'

Superblocks...LOL... 

[dazbarlby]

We have our first Superblocks!!

All budgets payed!

 

[tungfa]

Congratulations all around,
we had just 3 Superblocks pass !
All budgets (as voted) got paid out,
MN payments were on hold while the Superblocks passed, we are back to normal !

This is the 1st time EVER in Blockchain history that Superblocks were introduced and moved across the blockchain !!
well done !

here was my donation....

I think you are right, maybe is time to bite the bullet and produce a good animated introductory video.  I use www.myevideo.com for my real life business. You can check examples of their work on the site. I paid 2,480.00 USD for a 2 minute video for my company and was very happy with the results.

They take care of the script, voice, animation, everything, but we approve each stage before they move to the next stage. I just set an appointment with them for Monday, will get a quote and then see if there are others willing to contribute towards this. Please check the site so you get an idea of their work.

I'll put atleast 30 drk towards it, if it looks like we are coming short I'll dig deeper.
