At Bitfiniex a defense against the failure of the course is built, and in dollars, this means that the dependencies of bitcoin are small, and against the problematic Poloniex too

6 Ways Dash Uses Economics to Solve Technical Problems - Dash Force News

Cryptocurrency, Dash included, is the technological marvel of the modern age, employing innovative approaches to build distributed, peer-to-peer, robust, efficient networks for the transmission of value. However, Dash has a particular advantage over many projects: its tech is balanced by using economic principles to maximize efficiency, not just technological improvements. Here are six ways Dash leverages economics to solve problems that would otherwise be technical.

Hong Kong | Dash Research and Planning
by Evan "The Instaminer" Duffield

https://medium.com/@eduffield222/hong-kong-research-and-planning-4206e065aa9c

LMAO is this the final shark jump for Dash The Instamined Shitcoin?

Just look at this lulzy garbage and ask yourself "Where is the code?  Where are the github pull requests and merges?"

Masterblocks : Moving from soft consensus to hard consensus of masternode list

  That's an admission the current Masternode scheme is flawed.  It also emphasizes the idiocy of piling on additional trusted 3rd party layers to fix underlying issues.  What's next, MasterMasterBlocks to ensure the MasterBlocks aren't corrupted?  Where is the research/whitepaper/peer review supporting this overcomplicated nonsense?

Masternode shares : Allowing depositors to earn returns and vote from partial masternodes

  HYIP Ponzi scheme confirmed.  The SEC and FTC will want a word with Dash's (now exorbitantly compensated) lawyer, who almost certainly advised Evan The Instaminer to flee to Hong Kong (a State with no extradition treaty with the USA) before he's frogmarched into court/prison.

Scaling to ultra large blocks : All-inclusive plan for building hardware and software to move from 2MB blocks through 400MB blocks

I myself will be heading up the new office in Hong Kong, called “Dash Labs.” We will immediately begin building proof-of-concepts of custom masternode hardware.

Just in case we had any lingering doubts that Dash really and truly doesn't give even the tiniest little shit about decentralization as measured by CONOP!  Charging users $150,000 to rise above SlaveNode level wasn't enough; now Evan wants to force users to also purchase from him and host in colo CPU and bandwidth gobbling CancerNodes, all because he doesn't have the skills to scale Dash using Layer 2 solutions like segwit and Lightning.

State transitions : Tracking changes to DashDrive

WTF does this even mean?  Where is the DashDrive whitepaper/peer review validating whatever the fuck this marketing babble represents?  Is Evan just going to steal SIA's code and rebrand it as his own broken knock-off version, as he did with DarkSend and gmax's Coinjoin?

Network maintenance functions : Using quorum technology to build administrative functions, akin to a decentralized crontab which updates DashDrive.

  More grandiose claims to have solved longstanding computer science problems using the power of Vaporware; again presented without supporting research or code.

Governance objects : All objects required for initial launch are determined and working theoretically to store user information securely and efficiently

  WTF I can't even...!  Is this Evan's attempt to glom onto the present smart contract and distributed identity hype?  Or just more gobbledegook to lure in new bagholders?

Credit system : A credit/debit system for incremental value charges related to the storage of data and user processing power.

So now Evan wants Dash to also compete with Golem?  Does he just pull up Coinmarketcap every day and add the latest pump coin's sci-fi alien tech to Dash's roadmap?


Underrated post:

The only way to get rid of DASH is by petitioning all cryptocurrency related businesses to drop support for DASH

https://www.change.org/p/the-bitcoin-community-dash-is-a-scam-we-demand-all-cryptocurrency-businesses-to-remove-support-for-dash

Because it was forked years ago from an obsolete version of Bitcoin, Dash is tens of thousands of lines of code behind the latest releases and missing 100s of bugfixes, patches, optimizations, etc.

Why should anyone believe Evan The Instaminer will deliver on his latest list of blue-sky goals, when he's promised yet not delivered on so many previous announcements?

EG, Dash still has no Masternode blinding and the latest release managed to *BREAK* IPv6 functionality.  That demonstrates incompetence, not ability to compete effectively against Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero.

[bigrcanada1]

wow...so original. The new "Cut'n Paste" BREAKER LOL

How is your accumulating of DASH going there Icey?   

Remember....we are now all on to you.  We know you are a DASH whale trying to pretend to be a troll and fuddster...when in fact you are one of us and are accumulating DASH. 
Keep cutting and pasting your old material....what I'd like to know is how many masternodes you actually have...   shhhhhhh.

Your secret is safe with all of us.  LOL

[iCEBREAKER]

Whether people like it or not the name change is the trigger for this... Whatever the tech, its all wrapped up in the brand, tech and community.. If google suddenly changed their name to wobble then it would cause some consternation, we are seeing the same...

If the new name does not work out, like other coins Dark will die.. I dont think that will happen, I subscribe to the more positive view, but the risks did just get greater and for some people those risks may not be ones they can tolerate.....

I dont think this is all down to traders....

Lets see what happens..

Oh I am loving this,  at these prices more people have access to creating masternodes. Below 3,000 dollars is great pricing I am getting ready to get a couple more MNs.  This way new interested investors can create their nodes and no one can say it was too expensive to invest, this is the chance for Average Joe to invest in nodes.

How much revenue does a masternode generate a month approx.?

I will answer you in terms of DASH ROI, the value in FIAT will of course depend on the price.

Requirements

In order to run a Masternode, an investor needs to buy 1000 DRK/DASH as collateral. These coins remain in control of the investor, but he needs to put them into one of his addresses and associate that address with the node.  The network checks that the node is running and that the funds are not moved, this classifies as a valid Masternode and then it is eligible to get paid.  With each mined block on the network a Masternode from the active Masternode list is selected and gets a payment, when all masternodes on the list are paid, the payment cycle starts again.
When there are updates in the software the Masternode operators have 7 days to update to the latest version, after that, they are dropped from the active Masternode list and stop getting paid until they update.

DASH ROI

You can estimate like this:

- Currently Masternodes get 40% of the block reward.

- The minimum block reward in DASH(DRK) is 4.65 DASH at this moment. I will assume difficulty is high enough so that we are dealing with the minimum reward for a worst case scenario situation, sometimes there are blocks with higher rewards. The minimum DASH block reward decreases by 7% annually to avoid abrupt block halvings, that already happened earlier this year so 4.65 DASH will be valid until next year.

- Average block-time in DASH is 2.5 min, so there are ~576 blocks per day. So 576*4.65DASH*40% = 1071.36 DASH alloted for the whole masternode network currently, we need to divide this by the 2300MN active masternodes. This gives us

 ~Monthly masternode income = 13.97 DASH
 ~Current Minimum DASH Annual ROI = 17%*

*This will change and go up throughout this year as the masternode network reward share will continue to increase each month to incentivize node creation following this schedule:



IMPORTANT:

-So in the end it will really be more than my estimation above as the reward share will continue to increase each month until it reaches 60% March 2016.  

-Having said that the number of Masternodes will also likely increase so I think it is safe to say tha the minimum annual return for a node in DASH should be around 20-25 %

-Now the return in FIAT could be a lot more if the coins appreciate in value year to year.

- Finally, and very important you always retain control of your 1000DASH and are able to liquidate them at any point you wish, you would then obviously just stop getting paid.

I really hopes this helps.

 

When advertising and soliciting sales for a HYIP, it is proper to disclose risks along with the potential rewards.

If you're going to offer financial advice at least try to be even-handed about it.  The pumper/shill/cheerleader thing isn't a good look.

A Ponzi Scheme is a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.  All Ponzi Schemes are destined to collapse.  Ponzi schemes and other financial crimes in Phoenix, Arizona can carry serious consequences. If you have been arrested for suspected involvement in an Arizona Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme, you need a rigorous defense of your rights by a widely-recognized Phoenix law firm.  Similarly, if you believe you have been victimized by a Ponzi Scheme we are uniquely equipped to help.

We have a long history of success that has earned us a well-deserved reputation.

 

A pyramid scheme is also known as an "endless chain." It works like this. Someone offers you a quick way to "strike it rich" through their fraudulent business. You invest a certain amount of cash and get others (friends, relatives) to do the same. Your recruits get more people to join, and it continues like a chain letter. The problem is it can't really be "endless" because at some point you won't be able to find anyone else to join. The chain ends. The money stops coming in.

A Ponzi scheme is a variation of a Pyramid scam, but the difference is Frank Fraudster is only asking you to invest your money-not recruit anyone else.

But instead of paying investors with profits from actual investments, Frank Fraudster pays them with the cash given to him from new investors. When he runs out of new investors, again, everyone loses.

Why isn't this a Pyramid scheme? Because investors are unaware of what's happening and don't need to recruit new investors themselves. However, a Ponzi Scheme will fail for the same reason as a Pyramid Scheme.

Code Section    Penal Code §319-329, specifically §327 (California's Endless Chain Scheme)
What is Prohibited?    Contriving, preparing, setting up, proposing, or operating any endless chain scheme.
Type of Crime    Felony or Misdemeanor -- varies on nature of the crime.
Punishment    State Prison for 16 months, two or three years or up to one year in county jail, probation, fines, restitution, community service.

Impressive cut n paste skilz LOL

Hey...whatever it takes for you to justify your buying strategy...we're ok with that. 

[iCEBREAKER]

Isn't the first public beta of Evolution scheduled for summer of 2018?

https://github.com/evan82/dash-roadmap

That was written before the core team decided they could break up the pieces and send some out for bit.  There has already been money set aside in the budget system to hire C++ programmers, as well as Java, I think, etc...

and they hope to speed up that schedule a lot.

How's that "hope" working out for you? 

Not very well, since DashDrive is now 4 months past its original "March 2017" deadline AND STILL 100% VAPORWARE.

Even worse, the MIA "June 2016" vaporware of brain.py and classes.py are nowhere to be found.

I bet Duffield is going to steal SIA or STORJ's code, rebrand it to DuffDrive, then attack the original devs when they criticize his shitty broken implementation (because that is EXACTLY what happened with CoinJoin, PrivateSend, and gmax).

Interesting.I will watch.

I'm waiting to see what Icey can cut and paste next. Usually its just a post from two pages back, but sometimes a whole year back. Lets see...

[bigrcanada1]

And our Masternode count keeps climbing.   

[alevlaslo]

Growing trends at the moment have only been ltc, dash and monero, everything else has long unfolded

[iCEBREAKER]

What the hell? I just got this from one of my masternodes on Vultr:

Abuse Team  Vultr Staff
2016-04-20 15:13:42
We have suspended your VPS due to information we have received indicating that your account is in violation of our Terms of Service/Acceptable Use Policies, the full text of which is available online at the following URLs for your convenience:

Monitoring showed a large amount of outbound traffic matching an attack profile which triggered suspension.

Our services are self-managed and we do not provide assistance for analyzing your traffic. You can use utilities such as tcpdump to investigate traffic patterns/data.

Please respond as soon as possible with as much detail as you can provide regarding the activity in question and what you intend to do to ensure it does not occur in the future. If the VPS in question is compromised, you may launch a new one at any time.

Instance destruction may occur if we have not heard from you within the next 18 hours.

Thank you for your cooperation.

-- Complaint Response Team --

What the hell are they talking about?

Sorry, NOW YOU FUCKED UP  

set limitation for connections

configure a firewall and set 2 ruls

open dash used ports
close all port

I did all that! The crappy thing is I can't log in, since it's suspended, so I can't even try to check the debug.log or anything. Nor can I see my usage graph.

Qwizzie: 1000 GB per month. I've been running MNs for almost two years now with zero problems...it's really bizarre. Plus Vultr basically accuses me of launching an attack? WTF?

Running a Dash Masternode is a financial attack on unsophisticated investors (aka Ponzi scheme victims) and violates multiple laws and regulations.

Vultr is doing the legally and ethically responsible thing; they do not need/want the legal and PR liability of having illegal Money Service Businesses (including Money Laundering) running on their hardware.

All responsible VPS and colo providers should actively monitor their networks for (and ruthlessly suppress) Dash HYIP activity.

"Crypto Bloodbath" Erases Over $10 Billion In a Day - Dash Force News

The cryptocurrency markets have taken a large hit, dropping over $10 billion at the beginning of the week, lead by Ethereum’s decline.

On Monday, the combined market cap of all cryptocurrencies was worth about $92 billion. Within a day, that number had dropped to about $77 billion, a $15 billion loss, now down to a “mere” $10 billion decline. The markets currently stand at around $84 billion, down from an all-time high last month of about $116 billion. Nearly every single major cryptocurrency shows significant 24-hour losses.
