I'm new. I downloaded MinersGate with a grain of salt and it would seem that Dash is profitable for me to mine based on how much I can earn and what the value is.
I did not notice anything in the OP post indicating the last date it was edited. If I did, I missed it. I would just like to know if there are better Dash miners than what is listed in the OP post as well as wallets, or is that still considered the go to since it is from Dash?
There is also something I would like to understand a bit more. This is from a Monero thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15266797I just realized DASH does not have an anonymizing layer for its MN owners...from what I understand XMR uses i2p to protect miners running nodes ? Also allows us to connect to i2p/tor from wallet?
That is DASH killer IMO....as a new comer to your community I see this as very valuable. The DASH team cant even get the MN owners to vote on implementing an anonymizing layer.
Dash offers an anonymous service to it's end users yet with very little protection to the identity and location of MN operators themselves. Because MNs operate over public IPs, they are potentially exposing themselves to complicity in any illegal activity occurring over the network. Very few MNs run through VPNs. In fact, more than 52% of MNs are operating on just four centralised cloud services. This creates potential liabilities that could stunt end user adoption.
What about this, is this really a problem? (Let's avoid a dash vs. monero debate)
Masternode geographical and hosting distribution is very healthy
Also, in the services masternodes secure for the network like instant transaction locking or mixing, the 51% mining issue does not exist. You would need a much higher threshold of control to affect those services around 80% plus depending on the service. 51% in masternodes means nothing and even if it did distribution is way better than that.
You can follow the statistics here
http://178.254.23.111/~pub/Dash/Dash_Info.htmlI wont get into comparisons but you need to understand that Dash is a project that is working on improving the whole cryptocurrency experience and this includes, instantly secure transactions, better governance, self funding, better fungibility and privacy, a more friendly user experience, market ramps and it will continue to evolve. Typically other projects that are working on a specific item of that list try to frame the conversation over that specific aspect disregarding everything else. When in reality Dash is creating an overall better digital currency experience.
About the issue of legality Dash nodes are no different than Bitcoin full nodes or miners, they have no responsibility over transactions that go through the nodes as long as they have no knowledge of the content of the transactions transiting through their nodes.
I have personally being told by legal advisers that this is not different than the regulation of Tor nodes. But crypto is a new field and I am sure crypto regulation will continue to evolve and become more clear. My understanding is that there is no difference between Dash regulation and Bitcoin regulation, but still each user should look into their local laws so dont take this as legal advice is just my view on the matter and it does not constitute investment advice either.
. Just saying.
