[ANN] [PRX] [Masternode] [Staking] ProxyNode Network - The Rebirth

[sizzlephizzle]

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 16TH:

Dear all,

Please find below your weekly announcement.

From the PRX Team
Prepare for 50k collat!
Masternode Count: 2535
508.88 hours until block 500000
Predicted date of 500000: 2019-11-06 19:21:14 (GMT)
Crex Price: 0.00000008

We expect demand to increase to keep as many masternodes going as possible which should hopefully involve the exchanges getting all their supply bought up! If this does not happen, the masternodes half at the same time as the rewards, so the output of coins will be the same (Due to reward frequency being doubled).
Mathematically, we are in a really good position going forward. Then we have a period of 6 months without any changes and can really drive the project during this time.

Exchanges:
Graviex has received overwhelming support. We will begin the listing process and then start to raise the GIO required to list. If you have some GIO and would like to contribute this we will organise a donation address in the near future.

Sizzle:
Sizzle has secured a proper position. This will ease the financial burdens he faces and it will mean he is working 8-9 hours per day. This will afford him weekends and "after hours" to work on Proxynode as well as regular hours of availability for scheduled maintenance etc. He also won't be exhausted when he gets home! All in all, this is a very positive move.

MASC:
Been a problematic week with one of the key servers having issues, causing the bootstrap to be faulty, suspension of new nodes etc. We believe these are resolved and that the Proxynode bootstrap will be backed up correctly tonight.

Hope you all have a very prosperous weekend and don't forget, when bitcoin recovers, PRX recovers it's fiat value. If we can get back out of the sub-10-sat window, we're going to get the benefits of the upcoming bitcoin revival and get our PRX gains multiplied!

Peace and love to all!
#WeBuildToSucceed

The PRX Team

[sizzlephizzle]

Last ANN of 24k collateral.

The PRX team would like to take this opportunity to thank @everyone who has invested. Everyone who stood by us when we were falling. Prior to the take over, prior to the exploit, prior to everything. It's been a truly troubled journey with a trouble-free recent history.

Outlook:
So 24k is almost exhausted and next week's ann will be fully focussed on 50k so this is really the only time we can explain the future that we see happening.
The current make up of the sell walls on crex, is 12 nodes available (at 50k per node) once they're clear.......there is only 2 nodes available before 25k (Sizzle's Crex marker).
2 nodes is two new investors......After that, to buy two nodes........you have to go to 300 SATS!

I mean, That's a pretty decent jump and people will put sales in between that, but wouldn't it be amazing :wink:

Donation Update!
We got 0.027 btc and 3.56 LTC. Combined they're roughly the right amount, but I still have to exchange the LTC and cover the fees. A great achievement by everyone involved.

Now, Whilst we have pretty much reached our goal, if you 'were going to' donate but haven't yet donated, please continue to do so. The accounts are proxynode accounts and I do not tamper with them in between funding rounds. This can help to pay for wallet improvements where necessary and also spend a little on marketing.

That being said, Sizzle has been out and about and now spends 2 days a week out-of-town which makes support on those days quite difficult however financial needs leave me with little choice. When BTC moons and PRX is worth 10k sats, I won't need to work haha.

Best Wishes to all and sorry for the delay. Huitemae asked me for any special words for the ANN and I said i'd already written most of it......but forgot to press enter and wasn't able to remote to my PC. ANYWAY! Here's the ann. Next week : 50K ann!!!

[sizzlephizzle]

Dear @everyone


Announcement for the Week of November 20th

From the Team:
You will have noticed that we did not post an announcement last week. Wires got crossed, folk dropped offline. Our apologies.

We have completed the transition to a 50K PRX collateral requirement. Also, rewards have halved (80 per MN per block, staking: 20 PRX /block). At the time of writing, 1500 nodes are up and running. "First" rewards take about 3.2 days to materialise with reoccurring rewards every 1.2 days.

We are pleased to see that MASC hosts 1,000 of all PRX masternodes, a testament to the excellent and affordable services offered to the community. The PRX team will continue to work with MASC to bring more coins to the platform to incentivise PRX ownership.

State of the ecosystem:
With the lower block rewards, 130K PRX is produced every day. This equates to a supply increase of about  24M PRX over the next six months. We do not know how this will impact price growth. What we can do, however, is to bring solutions that will spur growth and increase PRX demand. Our work towards possible solutions, along with some bottlenecks, are listed below.
@everyone continued

Possible Solutions:
We are heavily investigating what options MASC can host for PRX payment and build a structure around that. Masternode collaterals and hosting fees are useful for keeping PRX away from the markets, but we need more services (use cases) to ensure healthy growth in the future.

KYC:
Crex has blocked UK IP-addresses connecting to their site. KYC is a serious issue that will not go away but yet, impedes progress. The net closes more and more each day. To protect itself has just banned the UK from accessing their site, irrespective of customer KYC compliance. The ban took immediate effect without warning and serves as a reminder that this could happen to anyone. Be cautious and never keep (too many) coins on an exchange.

MASC:
We will add new coins! We will offer our services to MCPC and Jackpot 777 in due course. As always, fees will be due in PRX. Birake has had some issues on our platform. New bootstrap methodologies have resolved most issues. Currently, we are struggling to get the connections we need (much like PRX had after the last wallet swap). We anticipate that this problem is soon resolved.

Siz availability:
For the next five weeks, Siz will be at (Proxynode) HQ from Thursday - Monday. He is Out of town on Monday night until Thursday morning. There will be Limited Sizzle-on-PRX action during this time.

TipCat-bot:
A few good ideas (e.g. auto-rain on Active Discord members) are floating around at the moment with regards to the TipCat. We require a substantial collaborative effort to flesh these ideas out (and test implementations). It may take a little while, but keep your eyes open for Discord Contests/Lotteries that may appear. Transparency and accountability are critical to resolving possible disputes. We ask for patience to ensure fairness.

Onwards we go!

Announcement for the Week of November 29th (Sorry it's a day late).

From the Team:
We are pleased to say that the PRX lottery, organised by Clapidos was a great success. We warmly congratulate Hap for winning the lottery this time and hope he will enjoy his 50K PRX (and uses it wisely!).

Given the encouraging response to the PRX lottery, Clapidos is working to present you with another game called "Trivia". Watch this space for further updates and information (we are!). Word on the street is that the game will be launched this Sunday at 17:00 GMT!

Snode will be shutting down there services in a week or so. Please ensure you withdraw any coins you have to ensure you do not lose any!

Gin has also decided to close it's doors so the same applies there.

MASC has the option to migrate nodes, so anything that is hosted on MASC can be brought over without losing rewards.

Siz availability for the week:
Siz is at the (Proxynode) HQ from Thursday - Monday. Out of town on Monday night - Thursday morning. Limited activity from Siz during this time.

Onwards we go!

Announcement for the Week of December 5th (#LateAgain)
@everyone
Siz being on the road on a Monday-Thursday is affecting the weekly announcements and I find us apologising week on week. Instead of this, we will now have Friday announcements going forward. With the first being.........Friday the 13th #Superstitious?

State of the EcoSystem:
- CB Is going down - Get your funds OUT ASAP! They could sell all the PRX when they shut down, so get your money asap or they might tank us!.
- Crex is also hit with KYC regulation and enforcing a ban to the UK/US/Canada/Somewhere else too. Crypto Crackdown is hitting us hard but let's be brutally honest here. We only object to KYC because the websites are shady as hell. No-one complains about doing KYC for Coinbase / Binance because we're all acting within the law.
-Graviex : Weak support levels/sell points etc, shifting from CB to Graviex is going to be beneficial and make it much more useful. Also no KYC, based in Moscow so should be safe to trade there for as long as we need to.

So what's been happening this week?
Snode decided to shutdown and said they could be looking to sell. On behalf of MASC, I approached them for pricing. They went on to discuss all the packages available which included everything, SND coin, explorer, website, dashboard, api, bots etc.
Sadly, they took forever coming back to me with actual prices.
When they did, they were VERY unrealistic and not financially viable. It is with regret that we will not be buying Snode's pretty interface.

Without going into too much detail, their top tier offering is equal to 96,997,293 PRX.

Cookie:
Cookie has almost finished his business trip and will be back to his usual activity levels over the next couple of weeks (Baring Christmas).
#WelcomeBack

In other news,
- Today I had a phone call with an old Sales Director that I used to work with. He's not familiar with the service so he's going to need a few days to process the info, do some research and come back to me. If I can bag him, he could really help MASC launch a second attack and try to take a bigger share of the market.
- I have also contracted in a web developer via a friend of a friend. He's a proper paid web dev and took a look at snodes website, and at MASC and said "Yeah, I can do something with this". This is literally hot off the press and I only spoke with him 4/5 hours ago.
His availability is not 24/7 so, be patient! Hopefully we will have a new look MASC front end soon. If he does a good job, the members area will be worked on. If both are good, maybe i'll get him to revamp proxynode.network too

#WeBuildToSucceed!

[sizzlephizzle]

Announcement of Friday the 13th Dec.
**Web Dev:**
Sadly, the person who was supposed to redesign the MASC website spent his time redesigning the logo (which was never requested). Web dev has then asked to be paid for his logo (after I said "I don't want any of these logos, happy with the existing one") before he will work on the site......which is just stupid. You don't take your car to be resprayed and then pay them to change the badge on the front of the car, without agreement.

Will work out a better way forward.
-----
**Exchange Lockdown**
I reached out to CB to ask what would be done with the unclaimed PRX on their system (If they would burn it for example). They said "our liquidators will decide" what to do......

I asked Lobashka to track the volume. Almost 3 mill.
Withdrawals have happened so this keeps lowering but last check, it was still over 2m.

If that dumps, we and many others coins, are at 0 sat.
**We estimate 130 BTC's worth of unclaimed coins on CB at the time of writing.**

How can we prevent CB from dumping all PRX on the other exchanges? Well, Lobashka said "ask them to freeze deposits". So it is all organised. Crex and Graviex will lock deposits as soon as we announce that we've requested it. They are all prepared.

We are now announcing that as of tomorrow (Saturday 14th December), Deposits at BiH, Crex and Graviex are suspended. There is no timeframe on this as we need to use this period to observe the behaviour of CB and see what type of impact they are going to have. How they handle other coins, and whether they start dumping coins individually and cause chaos. You can still trade & withdraw Prx.

**Trivia quiz**
Trivia has been a great success and we are doing it weekly however this is reliant on TipCat being alive at the time of the contest. It's run by Clapidos and when TipCat is online, be sure to !register before the trivia.
DateTime: Sunday 15/Dec/2019 GMT 15:00

Hope you all have a great weekend and, as always,
#WeBuildToSucceed!!!

[sizzlephizzle]

Happy weekend to @everyone!
Announcemnt for Firday the 20th Dec.
**MASC work**
Many little improvements have been added to the system, including a self healing bot that detects any badly made nodes and rebuilds them. Currently automating the github download of all wallets' most recent versions. It's going well! This will enable MASC to update to the latest wallet without constantly having to be told "Hey, X has updated their wallet and my nodes are offline". Every automation and efficiency allows more time to invest in adding new coins that are then self-managed/self updated and self repaired.

**PRX Wallet**
Some improvements are going to be coming to PRX's wallet. Dev work is underway to get this updated and will be released probably in the new year. Not many visual changes in the QT wallet, but some better error handling.

**Trivia Quiz**
Big shout out to Lobashka for winning the top prize at Trivia : 2500 PRX credit at MASC. Honourable mentions go to MrBruut, Massague and particularly Katarina for answering "The most ancient computer in the world" with "Antikythera Mechanism". Trivia is great as it taught me something I never knew Hope to see you guys on the next round, Sunday at 15:00 GMT seems to be the new time for it.

@Katarina#5147 also deserves a huge thank you for her animation skills! Type !snow to check it out!

**MASC Fees**
Due to a drop in MN count, Rewards are now every 19 hours occasionally, this will mean you get 160 prx from a node within one billing cycle. Current daily price is 119 prx (at the time of checking) and there are still MANY debtors at MASC partly due to the email issue and partly due to people not setting up new nodes (which would help them see their balance). I'm going to reach out 1 more time to those in debt and if there is no reply, I will be disabling nodes which will increase the coins for those who do pay.

Also, my car broke so I'm spending today fixing it

What a great day to be doing an Announcement

@everyone WHAT A 24 HOURS IT HAS BEEN!!!!

Proxynode appears to have attracted some well funded investors who have bought in and caused some phenomenal growth in just a short period of time.

We hit 20 sats. Remember those days? Well, we need buywalls and we need them asap. The http://proxynode.network/ main page video demonstrates (in a fun way) how building a tower with no support, falls hard. We must fortify our investments by building prevention. 13 sat wall, 15 sat wall, 17 sat wall. If you can sell some other coins to build the walls without negatively affecting other projects, this would be an ideal way to recycle coins in crypto and make PRX as stable as possible.

It was a solid swing in the right direction. MASC node hosting costs dropped from 74 prx to 27 prx due to this activity. The more we pump, the cheaper it gets!

Tech updates:
MASC is building dip3 node automated setup for coins.
Lots of research about pivx/phantoms and if there is any solution away from paying for a wallet conversion.
Functions added to 24Sizzle(Discord Bot): using ! as the trigger:
!price will give you the price in btc/gbp/eur/rub and btc.
!masc gives you the daily rate for node hosting at MASC per node. (Thanks to @Clapidos for this idea).

A final reminder:
If we do not build walls, we fall back down. BUILD

[Larz952002]

Good afternoon everyone

I won't lie, this weekend has been maintenance, not progress, so this update may be uninspiring to many.

The bootstrap server at MASC has been doing it's thing, closing wallets, performing a backup and then it should reopen the wallet. This has failed for multiple wallets, but not all. Plenty of investigation later and there was no cause. The only solution was to try and add delays. These also didn't help as hoped. New script written to check if they were online or offline and attempt to wake them back up. This worked for one, but not for others. It's also 9pm here and I've not really had enough time to myself to get onto discord this weekend.

Short summary, MASC is currently running 650 nodes, most are PRX followed by Securus. There's an agreement in place for a new coin to use MASC as their chosen partner but that project is taking time to get launched etc.
MASC is also in discussions about hosting multiple block explorers for a community. Heap of work to get them all online, but it should be worth it when the time comes. It should also keep MASC afloat during this bitcoin stagnation.

Kids have broken up for "summer holiday" here, and I expect that's a global thing, so best wishes to your kids/grandkids/brothers and sisters for their vacation. It's a strange time where kids have been off for so long already that they haven't got a clue what to do with themselves anyway.....so this is a very trying time for parents.

Hope you all stay well and healthy

 MASC issue.

Sadly, there seems to have been a fault on MASC on July 10th which has meant everyone has been credited with hundreds of thousands of free PRX that didn't actually exist.

I've therefore deleted all payments during that period and have gone through the painful task of validating all legitimate payments made, manually.

Sorry for any confusion but you may need to check your balance tomorrow as you could find yourself in a deficit.

I will also kill all nodes on accounts with negative balances this weekend.

[Larz952002]

Happy August @everyone

I'd love to give you good news, but right now, I'm just doing all I can to keep everything going when something breaks. New job is ten hours a day including travel, then eating, family duties and getting ready for the day after has absolutely wiped out every hour of every day.

The weekend is my one chance, but of course, that's when the family wants to "do stuff" and of course, that means I have to be there. This weekend we saw both sides of the family as the UK approaches a second lockdown. It's also my daughter's birthday today so have had to plan the celebration and help make her day awesome.

In the background there have been conversations around beginning a partnership with Vault, performing a swap and locking coins in Cryo. At this time, it's in the "idea" phase and until we work out some sort of plan around how to achieve what we need to, it won't become an official presentation. Didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you all, but this is an idea brought to me by community members and I've encouraged them to gather more info. It's everyone's community and all ideas will be considered.

Hope you're all well and I'll try to be more active. Doesn't help that the internet at work is terrible and there's no mobile data signal. I don't even have phone reception for 90% of the day.

Take Care
Siz

[Larz952002]

Dear @everyone

Someone tried to inject some SQL code into the MASC databases. They failed, but they were able to wipe all the transactions from the table from the beginning of time. This causes a pretty big issue for the billing side of things and I've had to remove the point of exploit which was "Paying the old way". There is no plan to return this feature at this time. If you use the old way, please go to the new way and perform a test payment of 50 prx to ensure your account is credited with the funds before sending "large amounts".

I fired my PC up yesterday ready to do some MASC and PRX maintenance. Got taken away to do "1 thing" and I finished it today at 2pm haha. Everytime I try to put time aside for building/fixing, something gets in the way and then I see the price has circled 2/3 sats for weeks.

Why is the price low? Well, the MASC model was built to ensure our survival as a coin, here's where the biggest fault lies in my opinion.
The price per node should be 122 prx per node per day. Nodes were generating 40 prx per day.......node owners should have been "forced" to buy more PRX to pay their bill and this in turn raises the sat price, making the payments lower at MASC. The reduction in rate has caused this to become completely untenable.

The node price at MASC will increase today, to one dollar per month. If this is unacceptable for you to continue hosting your nodes with MASC, I understand and accept. MASC cannot continue to operate at these losses and sustain the hodl of coins, MASC has not sold coins but it is now functioning at a significant loss and unsustainable for the future. Servers will be discontinued as the capacity is much greater than the demand and the service will be fine-tuned to prevent mass setups. Anyone wishing to support MASC during this time, please credit your account using the LTC method. Anyone wishing to support Proxynode, topup with PRX.

Also:
Along with the SQL issue, I now have to try and recover the DB's values and correct everyone's balances which is a mammoth task to complete and I have to do all of this on my wife's birthday, she's less than impressed :smile:  I'm not letting PRX go down without a fight and not all customers have PRX nodes. Many will buy the coins in and that will increase our sats & Popularity. The old model wasn't working to increase our sat count, but it didn't let us fall this far either.

#WeBuildAndBuildAndBuildToSucceed

[Larz952002]

Happy Sunday @everyone
Spent some time this week trying to get some alliances with other coins to see if we can help each other out etc. I managed to come across a marketing guy and had a good conversation. May have to do some service exchanges to get some help, but with a good marketing plan, we should be able to get a wider audience for PRX and get moving in the right direction.

BIG THANKS! MASC has acquired an additional 100+ nodes this week after I said it would be unsustainable to continue. The additional income from this will absolutely help keep things going and the inbound PRX should be enough to turn the price around.
Sadly, during the night, someone sold millions of PRX and burned through the 2 sat wall, leaving very little behind. It's definitely a struggle to help the community when no-one tells us why they're selling their stash. I agree, it's crypto and no-one has to justify their behaviour and the whole point of a decentralised currency is to "not be traced", but if the people who are selling at such low prices could let me know why, I'd really appreciate it. I will not share your names, just your reasons for exiting. With that info, PRX can work to recover and prevent others from leaving and hopefully regain you as an investor.

I appreciate movement is slow at the moment but PRX has not been forgotten about, it's still very much a priority and remember, selling your coins for these sat prices doesn't bring you a great return, but if you're invested in other projects, you can still use the PRX to host your nodes at MASC, even if you don't have a PRX node running! You can stake with PRX and use the gains to pay your bill for running any other MN coin hosted at MASC. This is how we get PRX out of circulation and make the price climb. You can also buy $1's worth of PRX at the exchanges and help out. Or $10

Hope you all had/have a great weekend. I've been back to the new look site today and still have lots to do there.

[Larz952002]

MASC LTC Customers - good news.

It took a while finding data for the price of PRX every day for the year to date and LTC for the year to date, then cross referencing the two, multiplying them by the rate at the time and the ltc amount, converting it to PRX and yeah, well, enough about all that.

ALL LTC deposits (Jan-Now) have been corrected in MASC to the true corrected value of PRX on that day.

Volumes may be different as I have the average price of LTC on the day you paid, not the spot price. Hopefully this will be enough that we can all agree that you're balance is acceptably accurate.

Sadly, the commission payments for PRX referrals is not salvagable. I cannot restore this.
To those who referred, all balances were zero'd to remove any debt that you had wrongly accrued due to the fault and you are welcome to rebuild your referral bonuses, however these cannot be recovered by me as I have no way to track it all.

It would appear, MASC is back to full strength again!
Time to take a backup :smile:

Thanks for your patience @everyone

[Larz952002]

Heads up only (no tag).
I've updated the SSL certificate for MASCSolutions but will need to restart the webserver to do so. Also going to do some installs this weekend. This weekend may have a little downtime for MASC's frontend, but the backend will continue to host your nodes safely, without interruption. If you're wanting any new nodes, set them up prior to Saturday.

[Larz952002]

Sunday announcements have been forgotten about recently, so here's a Sunday one (UK Time: 3am)

PRX price is held strong with 2 sat wall and 3 sat wall. There won't be a break until we buy through the 3/4 sats and people stop selling their coins.

BTC/ETH/LTC/Everything has dumped this week. Brutal crypto week, but as most of us know, with big gains comes bit losses. This is ALWAYS temporary. I'm going to move some RL funds around and plan to buy some BTC to reinforce the walls.

I've spent like 8 hours trying to fix a server at masc and it's much calmer now, but this has made me think alot about "refreshing" the backend. Hopefully @everyone has experienced MASC and they're happy with the uptime provided and the tech support whenever there are any issues etc, but I think with a new interface and a "more improved" backend, everything will work better.

I've also got to reduce costs. Currently the domains are hosted on a mini vps (MASC and Proxynode) and it's costing me too much. Going to redirect name servers etc and have everything hosted more feasibly.

With more financial savings, I'll have more money to pump into BTC and then into PRX. I'm just lucky that the price is low so I can buy an even bigger bag

Hope you're all having a great weekend wherever you are and remember to wear your masks!

#WeBuildToSucceed

[Larz952002]

@everyone Did you see the explorer change last week?
I added a label to clearly indicate the MASC account so that it was visible. I'm thinking if your account is in the top 100 on http://explorer.proxynode.network/richlist and you fancy being "slightly less anonymous", I can add a "Safe Hands" label to your address. This would show potential buyers which wallets are safely with hardcore, dedicated investors who will not be selling their bag in a heartbeat.
This could inspire people to buy in, if we can show 30% of the funds in safe hands, along with 24% locked in MNs.

Happy to hear your thoughts in #general

[sizzlephizzle]

This year has been absolutely horrific for me personally and crypto in general.
We've also had the Covid pandemic making waves throughout every community.

I just wanted to keep this open and remind everyone that Proxynode is still here, still working and still trying to repair our price.
The community run coin has lost some members, which means some of our comms channels aren't up to date, there was no central owner of twitter/facebook etc so these do not receive updates often. The best place to see us is in Discord and we monitor the Telegram channels too.

Weekly Ann : 13/09/2020

It's been a pretty good week for MASC with no errors reported, but sadly one of the new coins seems to have exited (Thanks to Bullau for catching this). There may be a takeover and the coin could keep running, but we will have to see what happens. Sadly it does mean that 60+ nodes have been taken down.

I figure this bit of information may be useful to you all going forward so here's the income for MASC this week:
22300 PRX /  $6.91 (US).

As you can see, MASC isn't making a ton of money and it's not absorbing PRX from the marketplace as much as we need it to. If you host masternodes with other providers and they're costing you cash/btc/ltc etc, please talk to me and we'll organize a move over.If you're not happy with the service, talk to me and we'll make it better.

In addition to this, PRX has 818 MNs online at the moment and I've today decided to ping them all for fun!
563 of these IPs don't reply to pings (Including the ipv6 nodes at MASC) and this got me thinking......
Perhaps the best way to stop phantoms is to enforce the listen switch on masternodes.

If a MN doesn't listen, we could then flag it as a phantom and then send out a "Ban" command. This would get the phantoms cut off and hopefully bring nodes back to MASC and promote paid MNs again (or take these nodes offline so that only people investing in PRX will get the rewards and benefits).

Feel free to discuss here but I think this will be a workable solution going forward, just need some preparation and announcements before it happens to give everyone a few days to migrate any phantoms to real nodes.

On top of that, I'm going to make a list of the wallet addresses of each of the IP's that don't ping and if needs be, we can ban these addresses.

Been an entereing day to theorize solutions!

Have a great weekend @everyone !

Just spotted that I've missed the Sunday ANN.
Sorry @everyone
On the bright side, operational update regarding MASC: Going to lease some new servers to replace the existing ones as they're not performing to the best of their abilities and it's causing me considerable hours of effort/late nights.

This will involve a migration of nodes over to the new servers but for the majority of nodes, there will be no changes required, a seemless transition.

Some nodes (Mainly IPv4) may have issues migrating but I will be reaching out to make people aware if this is the case.

I'm genuinely too tired to do this change today as I only had 4 hours sleep last night, but I'll be commissioning the servers this week and doing the migration at the weekend.

All the best folks,

Stock up on toilet paper, Lockdown 2 is almost here.

Sizzzzzzzzz
