Is there an historical tracker for USD price of Dash?
Also, a deflationated one considering mining?

Yes

Evan,

We are already at the next stage with the elected board.  The board members are the masternodes.  They have a stake in the company(investment in Dash) so they make the best decision for Dash.  I see the only way this works efficiently is to keep the masternodes in control of voting for how funds are allocated to which projects, which is really the only driver to make people work anyway.

There is no need to worry about expansion.  We pay a company/person directly to do a job - they internally manage themselves.  They know that if they are not productive they will not be paid.  And if any of their employees fail they can be replaced as an internal decision.  I suggested that we could add the option to split this payment up into several dash addresses with a ratio determined by the proposal owner.   This would allow the funds to go directly to all company personnel at once without needing additional involvement from the proposal owner.

A typical company will have a board of directors, but many are inside directors with stock options or a share in the company. This encourages them to act in the best interest of the company.  If we have the employers/project managers/elected board the only worry they have is not getting their salary.  If there are 10 members of this proxy voting party, each one would have the equivalent to the vote of 360 masternodes(total risk of $2.3 Million) - their risk is only losing future income.

I also see an issue with the concept of a consensus with a management decision to determine if an expense is covered.  The entire premise of this cool voting system that we have now is that the masternodes vote on what we fund.  If managers start making decisions, no doubt the 'budget' they need to pay these expenses will keep increasing and expenses will always be paid...because managers don't have any collateral on the line.  And who would make the decision to buy something in advance if the expense could be rejected.  All potential expenses and projects should be voted in upfront so there is no question about if they will be paid or not.  The entire reason we vote is because some projects or expenses will not be paid.

And the last point, if you have set of managers/employers hiring all the 'employees' what traits do we look for in these people?  Isn't this a total guess?  If we fund a solar farm powering X11 ASICs to donate to the foundation, would any of them have a clue where to start.  Do we now need to hire a manager expert to manage that project?  It seems crazy right?  It would make more sense to take bids from several companies - they all submit projects to the budget system.  Look at the past history, pricing, and products they propose installing.  Then masternodes vote on the best option and leave the micromanaging to the company experts that are paid for doing the work.

I have to agree with everything above.  I feel like any contracted work should be treated like an independent contractor, and judged on whether or not their work was satisfactory by the MNs.

I can see, however, this working for our core team.

Well, you better get used to him, he's been a popular & well-known part of internet culture for 5 years now:

Thanks again to all Dash Nation members who contribute regularly to the progress thread. Having Dash information front and centre on the Altcoin Discussion Board is a great counter to the false narrative of the detractors. Please continue to help me keep this thread visible.

The statement I like the most from dashroundtable:

Evan is optimistic that we can have 5 second mixing sessions, when there are more users. Also it could be possible to swap your non-private balance with someone else private balance (for a small fee), resulting in the possibility to send private and instantaneously.

Good talk on the Roundtable going on  futuristic stuff in the pipelines 

Im having trouble with one of my nodes. It keeps falling offline 
Is there some troubleshooting guide out there

I believe the #1 reason that happens to people is insufficient specifications.  I have gotten a VPS where I guess the people sharing the specs with me aren't hogs and I've run my masternodes on them with no problems.  However, I bought the same type of server space from another company where everything should be exactly the same, however, I believe my co-inhabitants of the server are hogging resources, and I can't keep the same MNs on the network when I use them.  Everything is exactly the same otherwise.

Really, you need at a minimum right now 384 mb ram, preferably 512 mb, but if it's shared and your partners are consistently peeking in a way that takes what you need, it's going to fall off the network.

OK, after that, it could be your bandwidth (make sure you limit connections in your dash.conf file if you have a small pipe)

finally, I dunno, if your MN keeps crashing, you could use a cron job to see if your MN is running, and if it isn't, have a script trigger to restart it?

make sure block count is up to date, nodes stuck sometimes when they can't resolve some conflicts

Thanks, but it is not that the node crashes but it I need to go back in my wallet and do the "masternode start" command

The node is running fine I think, at least the block count is up to date and no error messages from the cli getinfo

any Ideas ?
Also thanks Tante for your input, im running a 768mb VPS so I think that would be ok

I'm sorry but I have no ideas why that would be.  The only time you should ever have to issue the start command is if it's dropped off the network and hasn't been seen in more than 70 or so minutes.  What could be happening, is that the wallet loses internet connection and drops off the network, then comes back on line, then you notice it dropped but by the time you check your node, it's back up to date?  That's the only explanation I can think of


Only other thing is something is buggy in the wallet?

Interesting talk about sentinels, mixing and masternode voting. Thanks for sharing Fernando!
Lots of good stuff and a good listening for everyone involved in Dash one way or another.
