'Pathological liar' is absolutely the toughest individual to deal with as a psychiatrist. Because you can't take anything they say at face value. And you can't, you know, fill in their personality.
You don't know what's real and what's not.
- Dale Archer

We sure have met some truly pathological liars in here ..

question : what do you get when you mix an obssessive troll with a pathological liar ?
answer : one post up

[ArpFlush]

Hm, after checking dashwale.org I see my masternode last pay was 10 days ago! Is this normal nowadays?  

With these higher active masternode numbers we are moving to 6 or 7 days before MN payment,
thats excluding variation... so my guess is that either you are getting acquainted with Miss Variance
(who can be a bitch sometimes) or perhaps you did something* that sent your masternode back in the waiting line ?

* for example updating your cold wallet with masternode=1 in your dash.conf ? best to set masternode=0 in there if you are still using dash.conf
and want to update your cold MN wallet. To avoid this alltogether it is probly best to use masternode.conf .. that has not this specific "bug".
    

Thanks for your quick reply qwizzie.
Hm, my dash.conf is empty. Could this be??? I don't remember editing this file in a long long time.
Another question: when I open the Dash client to synchronize with the blockchain will this have effect on the masternode?

check your masternode.conf, if that has your masternode info it is safe to sync the blockchain, you will not run the risk of getting set back in line...

for those of you masternode operators still using only the dash.conf make sure you put masternode=0 in there during sync of the cold wallet blockchain and change it to masternode =1 when a
protocol-change update comes out...

 times and times again...  yes, you got that right. The rest though, is just weak trolling.

Funny how the trolls run and hide when Evan shows up

Really? Evan is a liar and a failure. He's proven that time and again. Evan can't even get the information on the Dash ANN page right. Good luck with your Social Experiment Token. The last coin that called themselves a social experiment was the igotspots scam BALLS. I'm sure DASH is headed in the same direction. Complete failure.

You need to get laid dude...smh

Hey I was just checking on what kind of profit my miners would make if I switched them to Dash and it was extremely low currently, what is going on to make this happen? Even maxwell cards aren't really making anything with it.

high mining difficulty ?
lower block rewards in about a month ? (see prevous post of Evan --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg13185719#msg13185719)

I get the high mining difficulty but I don't understand why? Why are people mining on something that is not that profitable instead of alternatives and buying dash instead for more maximum dash?

i guess that depends on your mining equipment (i think wolf said something similiar recentely) and if you have perhaps certain exspectations about this specific cryptocurrency...

To be on the safe side I added masternode=0 in the dash conf. My masternode conf just contains the genkey (I think it was)...

To neckbeards trolling in here is sex. Believe me. (Or should I say "the closest thing they will ever experience" )
Btw, where's da-failor? I need his opinion on my new avatar

Well what cards are the ones for x11 currently? I have 8 maxwell cards and 7 7900 series, are these no longer the x11 standard?

to be honest i havent mined in awhile .. so i'm hoping someone will reply to you that is still mining or know more about it.

Some interesting data : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/extraction.dws?5.htm



Looks like coinmine.pl is (as usual) responsible for the high network difficulty. I guess they like mining Dash  

edit : looks like they are throttling back a bit .. mining difficulty is getting lower these last few blocks. It seems to be a constant process with them : full power mining --> reaching high mining difficulty --> throttling back --> reaching lower mining difficulty --> full power mining etc

My AMD 270X's work just fine :-D

Where are you mining and what throughput are you seeing?  I have 2x of these mining p2pool im only getting .1 dash/day for both.  4.2 mh/s each

A newly introduced proposal for how the bitcoin network can be scaled to handle greater transaction volumes is gaining traction in its once divided development community.

Called segregated witness, the proposal was debuted by Blockstream co-founder Pieter Wuille at Scaling Bitcoin Hong Kong on 7th December. Arriving to general acclaim, it has already been hailed as a "turning point" by technologist Andreas Antonopoulos and positioned by Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell as a solution that could provide a fourfold increase in capacity to the network in a "short time frame".

Most notable about segregated witness is that, unlike other proposed bitcoin improvements, it can be introduced to the network as a soft fork, meaning that it would avoid forcing all those running the bitcoin software to upgrade their clients in near-unison, thereby reducing the risk an upgrade splits the bitcoin blockchain.

Segregated witness is perhaps best described as a novel workaround to the block size issue that affects how certain network variables are counted toward block size.

In bitcoin, transactions include one or more input fields showing where the funds come from, one or more output fields indicating where they’re going and a signature that validates that the owner had the ability to execute the transaction.

"Now signatures go into the 'from' field," Lightning Network developer Tadge Dryja explained. "[In segregated witness] the signature is separate."

More specifically, segregated witness takes the signature out of the transaction and puts the data into a Merkle tree in the coinbase component of the transaction, or the input of a generated transaction. This change would make transactions appear smaller to current nodes on the network, so that more could be included in a bitcoin block, even if blocks are still limited to 1MB by protocol rules.

“If the signatures would add 0.75MB [of capacity] to a block to a 1MB block, it would now be equivalent to 4MB,” developer Doug Roark said, echoing the description put forth by Maxwell and Wuille.

The appears to be an eloquent Band-Aid
Is ED planning on getting our DEV's to tweak it?
...into some kinda of multi-layered wonder?


hummm


very interesting to say the least - repackaging the data

Yah, unless you have a powerful gpu on a low power system or an asic or something, this is becoming pretty unprofitable.  The way mining rewards work is through a formula.  If hash power is really high, your rewards are minimal (currently 4.2 dash, and that goes down 7% each year, so soon 3.9 dash)  If the hash power drops, the mining rewards will increase via the formula on the first page of this thread.  This way, if mining slacks off, there will be an incentive for people to come back and mine again.  Very soon, with Evolution, the miners will have no say over what is included in the blockchain, so having more miners or having someone with more than 50% if the hash will no longer matter.  However the hash that they come up with will be used to determine how the quorums are grouped, so they will still be an active participant on the network that is very much needed, just not needed in the same way.
