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

[pille]

Can you tell me if there is currently a way to monitor MNs with uptimerobot.com please? It doesn't work for me since https://drk.mn/api/masternodes isn't available anymore.

https://dashninja.pl/api/masternodes

You're welcome.

Awesome, thank you!

To hammer his bandwidth/system less, add arguments:

for instance, two masternodes:

Code:

https://dashninja.pl/api/masternodes?pubkeys=["XiQG7Hrahe55gkioPaQFjhGsFRVfxtFjZH","XnZ81EMpvYzRGUQRBdBZhkKLy4pxAp5dMG"]

or, a bit quicker, less info:

Code:

https://dashninja.pl/api/masternodes?pubkeys=["XiQG7Hrahe55gkioPaQFjhGsFRVfxtFjZH","XnZ81EMpvYzRGUQRBdBZhkKLy4pxAp5dMG"]&balance=0

the available parameters:

Code:

HTTP GET Parameters:
testnet (mandatory) = 0 for mainnet or 1 for testnet
portcheck = 0 if you don't need/want the portcheck information (faster) or 1 if you do (slower)
balance = 0 if you don't need/want the balance information of the pubkey (faster) or 1 of you do (slower)
ips = JSON list of ip:port masternode info to retrieve, ex: ips=["ip1:port1","ip2:port2"]
pubkeys = JSON list of pubkeys masternode info to retrieve, ex: pubkeys=["pubkey1","pubkey2"]
vins = JSON list of vins masternode info to retrieve, ex: vins=["outputhash1-outputindex1","outputhash2-outputindex2"]
protocol = Don't specify it to use latest (that's usually what you want). Add it if you wish to check old versions (as long as monitoring nodes are still running with this protocol version, ex: 70076 for v0.11.2.23)

That helped a lot! So I think it's woth a bump, always good to help elbereth saving some traffic.

PS: unfortunately uptime robot is not cool with that kind of URL. " char is the problem.

Thats me screwed for charts now.

No Bitcoinwisdom support for Cryptsy and no Bitfinex at all.

I suppose I can read the order book and imagine the charts. I've looked at them often enough  

http://dc-charts.com/chart_dash.php?ex=2&cu=0

Not exactly bitcoinwisdom quality but it will perhaps do for now.

PS: unfortunately uptime robot is not cool with that kind of URL. " char is the problem.

for uptimerobot, urlencode the quotes to %22

For my previous example,

Code:

https://dashninja.pl/api/masternodes?pubkeys=["XiQG7Hrahe55gkioPaQFjhGsFRVfxtFjZH","XnZ81EMpvYzRGUQRBdBZhkKLy4pxAp5dMG"]

it'll look like this:

Code:

https://dashninja.pl/api/masternodes?pubkeys=[%22XiQG7Hrahe55gkioPaQFjhGsFRVfxtFjZH%22,%22XnZ81EMpvYzRGUQRBdBZhkKLy4pxAp5dMG%22]

(you can paste above into your browser to verify)

silly robot, hacks are for urls!

There actually is support, but it's "blocked" in some countries. If you are from the USA you should be able to see it with a normal browser. Otherwise, you could use https://www.4proxy.us/ with the bitcoinwisdom link (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/drkbtc) to properly see the chart. Make sure you opt-out "[Default] Include mini URL-form on every page", because it will screw up the view. Full credits go to one of your community members, who "invented" this method.

Thanks for posting nice to have cryptsy back in bitcoinwisdom

[dazbarlby]

I think we should ask these guys if they will add DASH.

Their charts look very nice.

That works nice - thanks ! Also to the contributors of other suggestions.

If you're in chrome you can use the javascript console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and run the following code to remove the 4proxy.us bar and the advert.

$('body div').first().hide(); $('#leftbar').hide()

Ctrl+Shift+J will close the Javascript console again

Edit: changed the code slightly

enforcement off? Got nice payment, two in 10 hrs according to ninja. Nothing in wallet...

Check out the latest Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast "EB94 Gavin Andersen".  It talks about the block size debate and details about the little bit of bitcoin governance.   
https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/epicenter-bitcoin-94-gavin-andresen-on-the-blocksize-and-bitcoins-governance

Couple quotes. (paraphrasing)
Gavin: There are currently no systems of decentralized governance.
     Ah, I know of one....

Gavin: There are 3 full time developers getting paid to work on Bitcoin. 
     Crazy to see only 3 people maintaining a 3.3 million dollar marketcap coin.  DASH with only 1/235th of that size has a blockchain that can pay about 1 full time developer directly.  If DASH were at Bitcoin's size it could fund 235 full time people. Now that is progress!

Gavin: I don't think it is a good idea to change to a variable block size vs a halving every 4 years.
    Hmm. I guess we will see the pain with this next year during the Bitcoin block halving.  Half the miners will need to stop, or the Bitcoin price will need to double overnight.  Glad DASH changes with a minor 7% change every year.

I dont think so, i think dashninja.pl is still sometimes showing incorrect last paid info.
To be sure check your wallet with one of the official blockchain explorers from page 1

Does anybody know how to contact LTB and correct that misconception?

You can also just right-click on element's background, select "Inspect Element" and then press backspace. No need for custom Javascript

Edit: ...and here's the bikeshedded JS for good measure :-)

$('body > div:first-of-type, #leftbar').remove();

Talking about masternode payments, is it me or do the MN payments seem to have like a 3 day period these days ?

Really? Really?  Kind thoughtful words from a BTC developer?  My heart melts!  Thanks Mr. Anderson for finally looking at this project with an open mind!

Same for me for a while.

I guess the previously used reference node just wasnt as efficient as this decentralised method of processing mn payments

There is a fix in github for having wallets hang at 75% during sync of masternode winners, wait for next update or remove all .dat files except your wallet.dat and start yr wallet. It may take awhile but it will get there.
Did you do any cold wallet "masternode start passphrase" in those 6 days ? Because that would put you back behind in the line again.
