Too bad the miners can't be so giddy about the reduction in their mining profits.
Realistically, all you see posted from masternode operators is profit profit profit. This comes at the expense of the miners. If the masternode operators can be so focused on profit then why shouldn't the miners? It would be foolish to mine on a pool taking 20% of your profits when you can mine on a pool that doesn't. In case anyone missed it, here is the list of pools where you'll earn 20% more for your mining efforts.
Again, having fun with your FUD, until I ignore you. But I like having pet trolls.
You're being totally ludicrous. Masternodes were set up to serve many purposes.
Lets talk money, which is what you're clearly solely about.
The more MN there are up, the better the decentralised anonymous transactions. This requires servers up, why wouldnt these server operators be rewarded by their services? Like pool operaters, or p2pool ops, doctor or and electrician... you spend time offering a service, and get payed for it, if and only, the job is well done.
Darkcoin's anonymity is yet to be debunked! It is fully functioning NOW ! despite the 10 DRK limit until the end of this month. Unlike all other anon-coins that got bitten by roadblock problems. Blockchain bloating, denomination crossing, yadda yadda yadda...
MN require 1k DRK depoist. This is Proof of Stake theory, with added Proof of Service, because you're NOT ONLY STATIONING COINS... ug, sorry for the caps. MN's also provide a service, and get payed for it.
The more nodes are up, the more secure the network, the broader the potential menu for services in the future (light weight clients, anon-communication, etc etc). The more 1k deposits out there, the more scarcity it promotes, driving the price up, called a positive feedback loop. So when prices go up, miners will get PAYED MORE FIAT MONEY when insta-cashing-out. DUH!
-20% now mining at 0.013, is nothing compaired to mining 80% at 0.0027 ... previous all time high right before the second "bad" fork"... which was not bad at all... Evan responsibly reverted back because bad actors created mini-forks that simply took over the 2.5 minute to be orphaned by network confirmation consensus on each block. It would have eventually found consensus, but way too many people would have had orphaned blocks, getting their mining balance DEDUCTED. So thinking about the MINERS, Darkcoin was reverted back, to deal with bad actors and innocent unaware non-compliance miners.
And there started my endeavour of the Pool Police.
It was one of the most responsible and respectable things any dev has done, ever, in my book. My hat off to Evan. He could have cared less.
With that, we discovered some shortcomings, and these are being addressed... in fact already are, with the "spork" solution.
Absolutely NOTHING in DRK is foul play. Quite on the contrary. It is the first coin to fully fulfil "money for internet", ergo, fungibility... Bitcoin's major "flaw" if you'd like to think of it that way. Non fungilbility is also heaven sent for some financial applications, and DRK can do that as well... but it can also be fungible, unlike BTC.
Now please, without being a troll, refute this.
Everytime, when i come back to community, there is always some good post for quoting~
