Any community members running their MNs on IP6? What are your experiences? I'm looking into moving my MNs to another datacentre (and beefing them up a bit) and figured I could save a few bucks opting for IP6 if it's working for people. I also want to reduce the amount of times my MNs crash as it seems to be happening every other week now, I can only put this down to performance issues on the current platform... Not so expensive a couple of years ago but at $20 a missed payment lost earnings are starting to rack up! Walter Not sure about IPv6, I didn't even know it worked in the current stable release. However, I am using OVH lowest tier VPS at only $3.49 a month. Crazy cheap, and my nodes have been up for months without any missed payments (only using cron job to monitor dashd, and to startup on reboot in case of unforeseen maintenance). 10gig SSD, 2GB ram, and ddos protection.

Thanks for the info Spatula Does your OVH VPS instance have /64 IP6 thrown in at that price? Most vendors are giving them away, which is why I'm interested in finding out people experiences. Might as well future-proof my setup if I'm changing it anyway. Cheers Walter

Yes, you can run your nodes with IPV6. You may have trouble starting your nodes if your internet service is only IPV4 or doesn't tunnel properly. Put your IP in [] in the config files and start with a windows machine and you will probably have no issues. If you are trying to start from linux you may need to make a tunnel. https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/ipv6-addresses.6061/ As for keeping your nodes running, dashwhale.org has a notifier with a remote connection that can restart if stalled or node crashes. Biggest thing is to make sure you have 750MB of RAM or more per node and to zero the debug log every few days.

Ok great, I actually haven't logged into my OVH hosted masternodes in like 4 months and I don't have any process set to clear debug logs so that's probably not good lol. I guess I'm just lucky none have went offline. Do you happen to have a good example of a line I could add to my cron job that clears the debug log?

My bank has apparently sent me a letter warning that they may be about to start "charging" negative rates on deposits.
What are the implications of this ?
Need to think.

then you need to borrow money from them instead and ask for those negative interest rate LOL

...but what are the implications of negative interest rates ? To me it's that the price of money has gone negative - that is that nobody wants it and money is now toxic. The reason banks want you to borrow is so they can swap their toxic liquidity for your secure assets (like your house) when you default, which is what they will make sure you do in the event of a banking collapse. Free money = Honey pot.

Amazing history. So amazing that hey, maybe they should Hardfork Bitcoin into 2 chains. lol

Nor is there any injustice about it. All thats happening is that assets are passing into the hands of holders who value them on fundamentals. The same happened with Dash - it rolled out of the hands of speculators and into the hands of those who understood and valued it as a monetary asset.

Generally, it's more compatible to be explicit than to rely on shell expansion of the $HOME environment variable using ~ thanks for the reply, i removed the ~ question : i noticed dashwhale use a cron job as follows : */2 * * * * root /opt/dashwhale-updater/dwupdater why is root used in there ? and should root be used in the above mentioned cron job code to clear de debug.log ? sidenote : i tried to get their Dashwhale remote monitoring part to work this morning, but i have dashd running from my home/user directory and it just wouldn't monitor it correctly. Problem was that i seem to have no rights to move files in the "opt" folder through WINSCP, so i ended up trying to adjust their code to home/user settings (which didnt work as i hoped). So now i'm just using their cron job code and files to restart my masternodes if necessary and disabled remote monitoring for now. I'm aware of your own monitoring software by the way Moocowmoo, but i was hoping to get something working in windows as i'm more comfortable in there. If you some day could make your own monitoring software ready for windows use, that would be great.

Great point...I hadn't considered it that way. Essentially they are trading liquid but toxic assets (money) for illiquid but secure assets (real estate, other collateral). That has huge implications...

She chose her criteria in a way that would yield the same result for all non-State-issued offerings. For example, "Is it issued by a government?... if not, it is not money".
