Any cool graphic designers here ? Like to put a cool Dash T-shirt design together to sell at my CryptoThreads.com store!

Hit me up if you are bored and wanted to put something together! You can have up $1-5 per sale in DASH!

l don't know iF any other coin have much master nodes like DASH?
Just thinking ,  more master nodes more anon it is?

The payment system is built on probabilities. 10-15 days is normal. Anything beyond 15 days probably means there's something wrong with your node (it's still possible, even for 20+ days, but it'll probably take us about 10 years to find 1 example of that)

One of mine took 10 days, I don't know if that's the new norm or if I skipped a payment.  There is a rare instance where if your masternode gets 2 votes but another gets more, they get paid and you both go to the back of the line.  But that should be super rare.  I think it's simply that we have so many Masternodes now.  We average about 550 (not 576) blocks per day, and that ends up being a payment every 6.2 days.  Add variance for the time you're up for payment, and it easily could be 4 days or 7+ days.  But it should all even out.

Is there a good reason for this? I imagine it's not because the Fed just refuses to work with chump change.

Ah - I missed that part. Got it now. Thanks!

Don't confuse fiat with precious metals.  Current US made currency is fiat - value is based on what the US says it is worth in dollars.  Sure 2 generations ago silver dollars used to be worth $1 in fiat and in silver content.  But for the point I am making coins are created by the US mint without a debt obligation to the fed.  Dollar bills are federal reserve notes that are loaned to the US gov't and so are debt.  Still both are "worth" nothing in tangible assets, but one is a debt of something with no worth and one is a credit.  Pooof....

US changed pennies from copper to zinc in 1982.  It looks like it still costs more to mint(1.67 cents) than they are worth.  You can cut our new pennies in half with a quality pair of scissors.  Looks like we maybe loosing our penny soon too.

Good thing Dash can replace all this inflexible valued fiat.

Don't go by a bootstrap compressed file.  The blockchain and chainstate directories are 1.44GB when running under in windows.  Of course, if you add a 2million key wallet that bumps it up another 1.18GB, but a standard wallet is negligible in size.

C'mon people. Troll in your own respective threads

A lot :

We just had the Mexico Bitcoin Conference where Dash setup a booth and also joined on stage
and at the same time Dash Evolution was revealed there too

https://dashtalk.org/threads/announcing-dash-evolution-open-sourcing-highlights-from-the-conference.7243/

We will have on 21 & 22 januari 2016 the North America Bitcoin Conference, where Dash will be holding a presentation

"See you in Miami"

I can confirm, it happened to me as well.  I have one going on 10 days now, right when the last payment was supposed to hit, my place in the queue reset.  The MN itself has been active for weeks.

All I can say is that sometimes it happens.

Yes, I also have that problem. My masternode is still not receive any payment in about 7 days.

I think last MN payment is missing. Does someone else has same problem? Or MN payment time has been changed? Does someone knows something about it?

High tech, low price

So is there a plan to try to move some volume to a different exchange?

So what's going on with dash (or darkcoin as I remember it) now a days?

Don't miss this great interview. Was recorded during laBITconf.

I don't think that is true in the present era. Pocket change has had no precious metal content since the 1960s. A quarter is just a steel placeholder for something of value historically, meaning they dealt with the issue of minting change without generating debt by debasing the value-content of the change. It looked the same on the surface but it was "almost free" to manufacture, much like paper notes.

In Canada, where I live, pennies are no longer "cash money" by government edict because copper had become relatively valuable and the government could no longer afford to use copper for placeholders. Every one they minted generated a debt of a few cents so in this case they solved the mint-without-debt challenge by no longer minting it at all. The lowest unit of cash commerce here is now the nickel - inflation watchers can of course imagine where this precedent will lead.

A "nickel" obviously is made of nickel, right? Wrong. For trivia buffs, from Wiki:

"The Canadian five-cent coin, commonly called a nickel, is a coin worth five cents or one-twentieth of a Canadian dollar. It was patterned on the corresponding coin in the neighbouring United States. Starting 4 February 2013, after the elimination of the penny, it became the smallest valued coin in the currency.

The denomination (i.e., the Canadian five-cent piece) had been introduced in 1858 as a small, thin sterling silver coin, that was colloquially known as a "fish scale," not a nickel. The larger base metal version made of nickel, and called a "nickel," was introduced as a Canadian coin in 1922, originally as 99.9% nickel metal. These coins were magnetic, due to the high nickel content. Versions during World War II were minted in copper-zinc, then chrome and nickel-plated steel, and finally returned again to nickel, at the end of the war. A plated steel version was again made 1951–54 during the Korean War. Rising nickel prices eventually caused another switch to cupronickel in 1982 (an alloy similar to the U.S. nickel), but more recently, Canadian nickels are minted in nickel-plated steel, containing a small amount of copper."

DASH relevance? - the old dispute about what "really" has value - mere invisible bits and bytes in anonymous computers dependent on the Net or shiny government-issued dross? Any version can be spun to make it sound good or bad. Choose wisely then dump fiat!              ;-)

Talk about stating the obvious I started watching markets in about 2007 from a combination of 'know your enemy' and a fascination with the apparent patterns, how they where formed, what they meant, what could be predicted by them etc. and either I should be wrapped from head to toe in several layers of tinfoil or major markets are a battleground for all-out economic warfare and almost entirely disconnected from the real world value they're supposed to represent. The forces behind that where dominant in the 2008-2010 period but they've grown in strength by orders of magnitude since but who's who and what are their aims seems impossible to get a grip on as there's just as much smoke and mirrors on the charts as in the media. Anything that could be used as a foundation to measure the value of currencies from (ie. a gold standard equivalent) is completely disconnected, the one that really mystifies me there is oil but I'll probably kick myself for not seeing the obvious when that one plays out... or add another few layers of tinfoil

EDIT: I'd kind of agree with the guy on most of his points but he discredits himself with "the end is night" preaching as its too black and white, the underlying issues aren't black and white, there are good and bad aspects to all of them and it also seriously underestimates the level of control of the forces involved. Imo all the major boom-busts in recent history have been engineered but regardless of how they happened the result is the same, real world value, land, resources etc. has been swept up into the hands of a small few in exchange for fiat, 'value' produced from nothing and as long as a majority have faith in that artificial value the cycle can continue.

Something Dash-related to that, the biggest threat to that isn't gold, silver, oil or anything along those lines because the majority of those resources are in hands supportive to those printing the value, if/when the gold vaults are found to be empty the gold industry will be boosted to re-stock them. The real threat is one that's happened before and it was the greatest achievement in the history of economics, the turnaround from a completely failed economy to the strongest economy in the world in the space of about 5 years and for the most part done by backing money with labour. Bitcoin does something similar with rewards for proof of work but the budgeting system re-targets 10% of that into work done by people, something much easier to relate to than work done by machines. The trouble is the last time real work as value challenged value backed by faith there was a world war not long after, apparently that was unrelated but I have my doubts.

EDIT2: Nearly forgot, his comments on the FED being targeted ring true here but imho the FED is the sacrificial lamb for the IMF to come in and "save us all" from the catastrophe with BRICS as a perceived opponent in just the same manner as the us "democratic" system. If the mainstream media get behind an end the FED campaign its time to panic imho.

the buying up of gold by central banks all over the world is telling here.
