I feel like this wasn't read?

You mean that they're forced to divulge the names and addresses of account holders who run nodes in order to prosecute them ? (In the event that blockchains are made illegal)

Well, first I'd say we have to note that decentralised logic and decentralised hosting are two concepts which have nothing to do with each other.

I agree that - from a network redundancy point of view - a greater level of hosting redundancy is achieved if there are fewer co-hosted clusters. For example if half the nodes in the world are hosted on Amazon and the Amazon's entire service goes down across the board, then that will take out half the nodes until such time as their holders get them back up somewhere else.

But remember the masternode's existence is not particularly dependent on the host, it is dependent on the collateral address. A 'downed' host cannot knock out a masternode for any significant length of time because it only hosts an "instance" of the masternode and it can be "re-instanciated" anywhere, anytime.

Apart from that, it's just a consequence of decentralisation and something that affects all nodes in all currencies. There's also an ongoing debate about mining centralisation to boot. I'd say that the fact that this project has managed to meet the challenge of decentralising an articulated protocol logic in the first place far outweighs any host clustering issues which we would have had anyway with so called 'full nodes'.


I'm not saying it's "ok" or "not ok", it's just a fact of life that most assets can be bought and the more money a purchaser has the more they can buy of it. It's not a democracy.

I always speculated that if I had limitless funds and wanted to destroy bitcoin, I would do this:

[1] - periodically start massive bull runs that push the price up to kingdom come over a period of a few weeks

[2] - start dumping and scare the hell out of the traders, collecting everything that gets dumped on the way down

[3] - allow the asset to continue to loose value on very low volume until it had 'washed out' all the sellers

[4] - start selling on larger volume to cause another 'scare' at the bottom

[5] - repeat from [1]

Various questions arise from that scenario which I haven't really answered like can you destroy the market when only a tiny portion of the entire coin supply is ever on exchanges, can you acquire a majority of the coin supply by doing this, what would be the use of doing that, etc etc.

Exactly it is not good idea to run MN from house...And again spread is pretty nice. And yes many are on Vultr and amazon but that is just part of them, we can discuss is it glass half empty or half full

Not sure it matters atm because the network is somewhat under used in my opinion, so we have capacity to spare.

And almost perfect english for someone speaking a second language 

Not everyone Wolf, I have a windows remote machine physically located at a business address that has a 1 gigabit connection speed.

Smooth I don`t quote you almost never but I did some maths yesterday.
What I did is simply got the sum of last 365 days of MN earnings which brought me ~ 17,5% of ROI.
I did the maths for a nodes which were funded at the beggining of MN existence and they got ~ 22% of ROI
I agree and true is that the early nodes got a bit more, consider that there was lower security of the 1000s, as they only got paid when the coins were exposed on the network on the HOT wallet (we had an exaple people loosing their coins by not knowing "how to", but they were more centralised too IMO, after a year and a half of changing hands the coins are more decentralised and the network is healthier now.
I wish I was there mining Xcoin in early days, was only following a bit the thread but each of us had the same chances, the difference is that we choose something else instead of actual DASH.
I mined LTB and AIR and earned some btc too which is already in a MNs
Who knew about the masternode network will be created, who knew IX would be created, who knew darksend would be created and you know what, the Evolution with DAPI will be live too.
If you knew all that thing I bet you`d be buying as creazy, so would I no?
The priorities drive our lives and we choose which way to go...
Have a nice weekend guys!
Time to open a beer   or two...

I'm pretty sure the masternode PoS rewards rate is higher than 6% and certainly was much higher when the number of masternodes was lower.

Hmmm...yes, I think Blackcoin did something similarly dodgy as well

lol, boy you're wasting lots of time and digging deep aren't you. i made pretty good call on avoiding cloak yes i know thank you. i warned people about xc too and now monero these days.

my problem with the cloak instamine was that they mined the total initial coin supply (4.5m) in 7 days and went to a highly inflationary 6% POS reward. this unfairly gave all the coins that could ever be mined to a very small group of people who then staked it @ a whooping 6% and controlled the supply. i knew that type of distribution model was doomed to fail.

 i feel the same way about the highly inflationary monero emission curve where ~ half the coins were mined in the first year and will have "Roughly 86% mined in 4 years".
bitcoin is almost 7 years old and only has 75% mined. and the btc block reward is fixin to half and it will take them another 4+ years to get to monero's 86%.
so it will take btc (& ltc) ~11+ years to get to ~86% and monero only 4 years. it will probably take dash another 20 years to get to 86%.

here's more of what i said about cloak around that time...
"Cloakcoin had a failed Ninja launch with a 7 day pow 4.5 million coin instamine that has a 6% pos inflation issue. it's also a self-moderated thread that has been censored to cover up launch issues."

reminds me of the monero launch issues and purposely confusing multiple threads started in the wrong place by a admitted scam dev pushing a crippled miner. a dev that is probably still involved but with a new anon nick like smooth or smothie or fluffy, who knows.

As far as I know Breadwallet is iPhone only, it'd be nice to have a glitsy Android wallet too but hashengineerings one works well. Both might be old-hat soon enough anyway. DAPI, No need to download an app, just browse and go

raico the liar lying about being chinese again lol.. you must be one of the core team puppets

"maybe if they think china is buying it will save our dying scam"

Darkcoin Price Skyrockets on Eve of Masternode Launch
As long as the rate is continually increasing, people are typically content to preserve their holdings as well as view the appreciate of their financial investments rise. When the cost quits increasing, people end up being anxious and also market their holdings to make certain they gather a …

It is possible to use search phrase "dash wallet" in any market.

This is what I found: http://m.greenraccoon23.store.aptoide.com/app/market/hashengineering.darkcoin.wallet/40021/10562492/Dash+Wallet

But I don know if it's original or fake...

DASH will not be destroyed by mere trolling or negative comments. I think and I believe that DASH has genuine innovations unparalleled in the crypto world; coupled with an active DEV who knows what he is doing. DASH does promote insecurities to other alt coins.IMHO

The wallet is available on another market like aptoïde ?
