As an attempt to update the update about the update. I think I have now finally figured out how it is all going to work when the 0.12.x code gets dropped and Decentralized Governance By Blockchain actually kicks into effect (affect?).

Here is my best attempt to give it in Layman's terms: https://dashdot.io/alpha/?page_id=94

Edit: I understand the links are shitty and non descriptive once all the content gets fixed up and correct i'll make them perty and pull out the /alpha/

You could have some of your articles as references on the DASH wiki page, might get you some extra website traffic

LMFAO - nice - lol

hey - answer me this - where did I just send the dash-cli to???

I can't find dash-cli in the .dash dir - ugh

sudo cp dash-cli /home/.dashd

I did this from the darkcoin/src DIR

I'm not all that Linux savvy but I'm trying - lol

sudo cp dash-cli /home/.dashd

This says take the dash-cli file in the current working directory you are in with your shell and copy it to /home/.dashd so you should probably be able to still run it via:

MangledBox#> /home/.dashd getinfo

[BrainShutdown]

it there a command I can use to

paginate : netstat -an | grep 9999

netstat -an | grep 9999 | more

"The removal of the reference node – The reference node is something that came about to attempt to normalize the payment distribution of the masternode network. In the early beginning there became an issue of choosing which masternode should be used to sign each block. Since Dash utilizes a unique Two Tier system to extend the ability of the blockchain network. The reference node filled the void during the development of the new masternode consensus system. Was it centralized? Yes. Did it do the job to normalize masternode payment’s throughout the network? Yes. Was it the best solution? No. In my opinion it was a means to an end. We are now at that end so I’ll leave you to judge whether it was worth it or not.
A new quorum based masternode payment consensus system. This means masternodes will be elected each block to “vote” on who gets paid."

Very nice, the reference node was always a sticky issue for me    , glad its being resolved and even happier to have my traps filled over the past week and a few more have been set   lets see what happens over the summer 

[iCEBREAKER]

"The reference node is something that came about to attempt to normalize the payment distribution of the masternode network."

Very nice, the reference node was always a sticky issue for me

Sounds like something that qualifies as a unregistered security or other investment product, and an equally illegal unlicensed money services business.

The reference node should have never been there in the first place.

That kind of lazy reliance on trusted third parties (which are security holes) is exactly the kind of shady, sloppy thing DASH has been doing since the pre/insta/dev-mine on Day 1.

Where is the masternode blinding?  Are people actually using this expecting privacy, when the masternodes track everything?

[UdjinM6]

it there a command I can use to

paginate : netstat -an | grep 9999

netstat -an | grep 9999 | more

Right than - that did work
but not working with in combination with --color=always



netstat -an | grep 9999 | more --color=always

or any variation that I try

I really want paginate and color always on : netstat -an | grep 9999

so far it one or the other - lol

and the other option is to limit the number of connections within the .conf  = maxconnections=XX
of which - the more the better
Right now I have 31 and it "over-flows" the page
ugh - - -paginate and colors


lol

netstat -an | grep 9999 --color=always | more

OR

add this line to your .bashrc file
alias grep='grep --color=always'

then run
source .bashrc

and you'll be able to run
netstat -an | grep 9999 | more
and always get colored output

guys if you dont already know the direction btc is now heading listen up...check out circle, create account if you can, you will notice its not an exchange!  , its a bank! your amount of btc is automatically converted into dollars and offered or you take the btc.
Now think of your wifes bank account,lol if it says she has $1500 available , it will also say she has 5btc(or equiv value at the time) if she takes 0.2btc out, it automatically deducts the amount from her dollars balance   Wink  or she could choose to ignore the btc option and resume normal banking. Circle is already offering free insurance on stored btc and other perks, oneday they or another bank will add interest payments on your stored btc.  This is only possible through regulation, which has now happened.  Grin

Adapting muscle memory (and path-aware bash scripts) to version 12's dash-cli can be as simple as adding a path and symlink.

Code:

# in ~/.bashrc
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

then

Code:

mkdir ~/bin
cd bin
ln -s ~/.dash/dash-cli ./dashd
# assuming that's where you put it

on your next login you can now do

Code:

dashd getinfo

(from anywhere) because it's actually running dashd-cli


On a sadder note, minimum masternode block rewards are as large as they ever will be.

Version 12 changes the schedule.

Code:

date          |  event           | masternode minimum payout
now           |                  | 2.089
v12 deploy    | 2.5% reduction   | 2.037
August 2015   | 2.5% reduction   | 1.9848
October 2015  | 2.5% reduction   | 1.932589
December 2015 | 2.5% reduction   | 1.88
February 2016 | mn 2.5% increase | 1.98482
February 2016 | 7% reduction     | 1.83214
April 2016    | mn 2.5% increase | 1.92857

Can one Raspberry Pi run multiple masternodes or only 1?

Hooked up to 1 unique static IP address, so just 1 MN

I'm thinking about getting a Raspberry Pi to play around and get comfortable with it. Only $35 for just the board. Should I get a kit: http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Original-Preloaded/dp/B008XVAVAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433362739&sr=8-1&keywords=RASPBERRY+PI

before I go run out buy something I don't need. What do I need to run a masternode with raspberry pi?

This is what the CanaKit includes

Kit Includes:

- New Raspberry Pi 2 (RPi2) Quad-Core 900 MHz 1GB RAM (As of Feb, 17 2015)
- Quick-Start Guide
- CanaKit WiFi Adapter / Dongle (Ralink RT5370 chipset)
- 8 GB MicroSD Card - Raspberry Pi Recommended MicroSD Card with NOOBS
- High Quality Raspberry Pi 2 Case
- CanaKit 2.5A Micro USB Power Supply (UL Listed) specially designed for the Raspberry Pi 2 (5-foot cable)
- Premium Quality HDMI Cable (6-foot)
- Heat Sink
- A handy GPIO Quick Reference Card
- CanaKit General Assembly Guide for Beginners to Electronics

Read through my tutorial @ https://dashtalk.org/threads/masternode-on-raspberry-pi-2-model-b.4083/ for what you need. Basics is just the pi2 and a ppower supply. I'm only using 1,5A cut I don't have aany USB devices attached.

While this = 1 (true)
You will still need to use an HDMI for the initial setup (in my opinion)
Once that's completed - you just: ssh pi@[YOUR-IP] to login remotely from another computer on your network
Best to Ethernet, hardwire, at this point and if your lucky,  your modem/router will have a built in USB for power

 I'm not gonna try to compete with fuzzyduck because I do have a lot of respect for the guy but - I'll write a guide of my own, soon, for the PI

I'll probably plagiarize some of his guide - not hard to do on some parts - lol - but - I feel that some things should be added to make some things easier - - like, how to make nano the default editor and what not - nano is just easy to use but others might like a different editor

Now if fuzzyduck want's to consider some of my alterations - maybe we can work together and just have one AWESOME, do everything Pi Guide

Let me know fuzzyduck if you're up to adding a few of my ideas :-P


I'd also like to know where/who I could talk to about getting the compiled copies of Pi-DASH submitted for NOOB download.
I have NO CLUE how to alter the code so my Pi-complied-DASH software will be straight from the Github binaries and delivered to whoever runs the dashpay.io website


Let me know..... PM me

I would love to update the PI2 tutorial, unfortunately im in a busy period atm. Busy at work, busy atm home with a rebuild of my bathroom and 2nd floor. So time to start up the computer in the evening isnt part of my daily routine im afraid. I think in July i got more time to get involved. By that time V12 is running so i(we can) redo the tutorial to make it a bit more efficient.

[UdjinM6]

Is there a cmd-line for dash-cli and/or dashd to list the HELP?

Hit me up again my Russo DEV - lol

LOL

to get cmd-line options
dashd --help

to get list of rpc commands
dash-cli help

to get help on some specific rpc command
dash-cli help some_command

As this work was financed, all I can do is provide a sanitized screenshot.  This is a simulation of the FPGA version of the design using a UART interface:

Also note that my design has a number of compile time parameters/constants which affect the performance/throughput.  The above simulation is for a design with basic settings only and a nominal clock rate, so the time intervals shown do not reflect expected performance.

Thank you very much for your professional input (reminds me of my student days on the altera test boards, lol),
Am wishing you all the luck with your project and perhaps it will be brought to fruition one day in the future if the price goes way up and this becomes a viable project to manufacture and sell.
Small tiny last question please, am wondering roughly how many man hours or months of work it has taken to get this far?
(btw, 'beefdead' is a funny hex number, is kind of like 'boobless' in decimal)

ASIC X11 miner simulation for a FPGA

Well I started almost a year ago, litecoin took me about a month or so, the x11 hash functions about 6 months (maybe 2 weeks per module, some a bit less, some a bit more), and then a few months to do integration, handling multiple cores etc.  I am still finishing off protocol to handle comms between SPI master (ie rPI) and a chain of chips.

I don´t understand nothing of the last 20 or 30 posts but I´m very happy this thread is evolving in a real Tech conversation about DASH.

A year really?! Thats quite a bit of work involved in a number of specialist areas,
Its useful to know, thanks for grounding me with solid facts to work with !
One of our ex Dev's Vertoe was very accurate about it taking 1 year to develop then, how did he know  
https://dashtalk.org/threads/x11-pro-miner.3880/#post-41591

If you ever want to chip in some comments and help stop us misunderstanding, you would be most welcome  
https://dashtalk.org/threads/x11-mining-optimisation-project.2584/
and
https://dashtalk.org/threads/asic-coming-for-x11.3816

A company has appeared in the last few months which is promising deliverance from the CPU-only paradigm. Cleverhash promises three models of miner by the end of the year. However, in the legalese of its documentation, it’s making no firm commitments. The three models range in price from $900 to $7500. For their business model to work, they reportedly have to sell 4,000 units before they produce one.

Edit: If this is you, can I have 5 small ones please and can I have them 1 week before anyone else ?

I just need to know where to send my Pi-compiled-DASH files to help other's ease the pain of a 2 hour compile but nobody is hitting me back to get the Pi compiles listed on the Main Dash website

I think the funniest part is you didn't build a reference machine capable of building code for a pi2 you actually let the pi2 build the code...That must have taken forever!

- I don't need access, just tell me where to send them....

Kinda feeling like a black sheep orphan on the level of helping the community that wants to be Pi smart but is either NOOB or even lazy to compile - I'd like to be lazy - lol
Maybe I'm just too proud to have compiled my first code with the Pi - so fuck me - lol

Send me a copy I can put it up somewhere for you till things get sorted out.
