Thanks for your quick reply qwizzie.
Hm, my dash.conf is empty. Could this be??? I don't remember editing this file in a long long time.
Another question: when I open the Dash client to synchronize with the blockchain will this have effect on the masternode?

With these higher active masternode numbers we are moving to 6 or 7 days before MN payment,
thats excluding variation... so my guess is that either you are getting acquainted with Miss Variance
(who can be a bitch sometimes) or perhaps you did something* that sent your masternode back in the waiting line ?

* for example updating your cold wallet with masternode=1 in your dash.conf ? best to set masternode=0 in there if you are still using dash.conf
and want to update your cold MN wallet. To avoid this alltogether it is probly best to use masternode.conf .. that has not this specific "bug".
    

Funny how the trolls run and hide when Evan shows up

 In a nutshell, that is the definition of a light wallet. Segregated witnesses are something else. Still wrapping my head around the concept, haven't looked much into it to be honest.

Hm, after checking dashwale.org I see my masternode last pay was 10 days ago! Is this normal nowadays?  

Looks like we broke above our 3000 difficulty ceiling finally. If so that means, we should stop paying the higher block rewards from here on out (capped at ~4.20DASH, 3.90DASH in about a month).

On the 26th Nov I got 100 + 20 DASH out, but since then only 10 DASH in the last 12 days, my withdrawal limit was zero instead of $2,000 per day, recently it has reappeared and I have a few W/D pending but the 10 DASH one is the only one to have been processed, they still have 2,970 DASH & 16.9 BTC of mine frozen for over two months now and continue to ignore my support ticket and emails, I would not advise anyone to try and arbitrage there.

my take is that lite node hold pruned data, while full node hold data unpruned

 Nope. That would be good old full nodes vs light nodes (SPV clients, electrum, multibit, hive, mycelium, breadwallet, etc)

With segwitness you can prune signatures that don't need to be kept, resulting in a much smaller data storage requirement.

i read this explanation, it seem they will include some sort of masternode in bitcoin

Am I missing something about segregated witness? I've been looking at presentations, looking at the code and it seems to have the exact same validation model as the existing signature scheme. The only thing I can figure out that it helps with is propagation speed (which is nice), SPV validation and a requirement for BTC Lightning. However, people seem to think it gives 2-8x capacity on the Bitcoin reddit:

Andreas A. seems to think it's something special:

What am I missing?

Segregated Witness is super useful for Dash Evolution, we can use it to make decentralized SPV more efficient.

An Airline only allows you to bring a limited amount of weight and bags onboard a plane for your luggage. They have to be fair and have a consistent policy for their passengers while at the same time recognize real life physical limitations and risks. There is a careful balance to be made where they make their clients happy with allowing them more luggage but at the same time keep the weight considerations reasonable for speed , limiting fuel costs and safety.
They previously had a policy of allowing 2 carry on bags weighing 10 Kg in total, but overtime with a growing economy their clients grew more wealthy and needed to travel with more bags because they were flying to Aruba for 2 week vacations, instead of 1 week. The clients were demanding more bags and up to 40 Kg of luggage weight. They had a choice to increase the size of the plane but the accountants and engineers were concerned because the fuel costs would increase and the safety of the planes may be compromised as well with so much weight. The sales department also voiced an objection that larger planes would cut down on their flying routes leading to less possible destinations clients could visit.
It was known since 2011 a safe and effective solution would be to separate the less critical luggage on a train or boat and the important luggage could go with the client to solve these problems but the airline kept delaying these changes because of distribution and contract problems with the railroad/shipyard companies. Redirecting every railroad or shipping route would be a logistical nightmare. Another concern is passengers didn't want their luggage being mixed or misplaced within the trains/boats as they were keen on some of the new quick luggage check-in and fraud protection processes the airlines were developing and there is no way they could get any of that with dumping their luggage on a train or boat.
One day a bright young engineer recommended a novel approach to solve these concerns. He indicated, "Look, we already have shipping agreements with Fedex/DHL and lease out a certain amount of space on their cargo planes that flyout from the same airports. We would have to increase capacity on them but they are efficient and we won't have to reroute all the trains or deal with the nasty railroad companies and our passengers could still bring their important luggage through our new fraud protection and quick check-in processes. Our passengers won't have to pay more and get everything they want. We will have to secure larger contracts with the airfreight companies but ultimately they will benefit from more business and we will benefit from more flight routes and clients." ... followed by an applause from the board of directors and some quick recommendations to roll out the long awaited changes immediately.

Who or what is FedEx/DHL in this example?
Full nodes who still have to process the higher capacity but due to be sourced from the same "airport" can conveniently handle the extra less necessary luggage (signatures) as opposed to using full node trains/boats processing the segregated data (signatures) which represent the complexity and difficulty in rolling out these important changes with a hard fork.
The data is essentially segregated between full nodes(freight airlines) and lite nodes(passenger airlines)

 Love your rhetoric. You're a brilliant individual.
