Like othe said, someone checked the IP's that were provided and it were mainly AWS and Azure cloudhosting IPs.

I was mining before the node list was posted, but my miner's IP wasn't on the list. Someone else in this thread stated the same. Maxconnections issue?

Damn - who cares about market-cap? It's like Saudi Arabia saying "But we've got loads of money!!?!"

I dunno, maybe people who are trying to use it as currency? All the functionality in the world doesn't mean much if you can't transfer 1000 bucks worth without massive slippage

You Dash kids need to wise up, stop smoking the herb, and start engaing in proper cryptography.

It's an embarrassment to the entire cryptocurrency space.

Like you wrote, it's cryptoCURRENCY. If all you're interested in are the intricacies of the algorithms, you might be better off in academia. But thanks anyways for providing a perfect illustration for the "Math-fueled superiority complex" I mentioned earlier :-)

You're right. The things that really matter is stuff like a vocal community, attracting the support of  payment processors, mobile solutions and quality independent blockchain services, having a solid network of full nodes, a viable front-loaded adoption model, an uncompromised approach to privacy and performance and an inspired  roadmap that does justice to the one thats just been delivered upon.

Marketcap was just icing on the cake  Wink

Man how many times do I have to say this...for the millionth time DASH is not the reason why MONERO is so down on the marketcap...

Stop the hate and go back to ur dead ANN THREAD!

Smooth needs to go back to work he nor the other developers didn't do crap besides cry*p*to here.

You're like the 10th Monero person who posts here 2day...are you all in one room using the same computer? can you go back to where u come from plz? *Monero dead ANN thread?*

I made a small overview. Dark vs Bitcoin. I already included InstantX!

Let me know what you think.

It was instamined with AWS and Azure Cloudhosting mashines you can spin up within a few minutes after you cloned the first machine; Also you have no idea how the difficulty calculation (read -> ESTIMATION) works or you woulnd´t make such dumb arguments.

It's pretty simple, you just can't make the argument that there were hunderds of miners with the evidence currently provided. Different IP's doesn't necessarily mean different people and different bitcointalk accounts could simply be sockpuppets. However, you also can't make the assumption that Evan (and friends) were the only miners on aformentioned evidence. It's just a situation where it's kind of difficult to obtain the truth. Like othe said, someone checked the IP's that were provided and it were mainly AWS and Azure cloudhosting IPs.

You'll probably never know how many hashrate Evan (and friends) had, only if he honestly states it publicly (e.g. signing his addresses from back in the day).

@stan.distortion: I'll comment later on your comment, got to go now.

Is there an Evan Dufflebag post for how the new Dash, which I assume is some kind of deterministic node conversion is supposed to work...

It's just because XMR has a large vocal community.

I don't know where you get that idea from.

Sure, they are vocal in terms of spiteful rebutals and petty technical factoid wars while never addressing the fundamental priorities of money.

Apart from that. the XMR [ANN] thread and speculation threads combined don't even have a couple of thousand posts between them over the space of a year and a half.

The entire getmonero community section has 1200 odd posts across all subjects. Dash's community pages have upwards of 64000. Based on those statistics, nobody is interested in that currency. Nobody's even talking about it with any serious aspiration to adoption. You're lucky if you can find 20 reachable nodes up at any given time in the whole of north America. It's a hobby pastime for a few coders.

Despite that its proponents pop up here there and everywhere righteously lecturing people on everything from crypto-ethics to community policing. That's the 'omni-prescence' your noticing - not any kind of industrial dialog.


The real truth is that both coins have strong communities and equally strong prospects. Unfortunately, they are both unncessarily paranoid of one another, thus causing conflict.

Exept Monero comunity is posting HERE all day long and visiting ( ugly way ) DASH conferencies...

Also, the no GUI is merely because the devs choose for a different path

It's more relevantly because Cryptonote tech is not compatible with the bitcoin-ecosystem. They devs didn't "choose for a different path" out of its relevant merit, they were forced down that path due to lack of technical resources.

That may have seemed a sensible decision back when the alt-wars were still attempting to challenge bitcoin's crown, but we're a world away from that today. The technical landscape and commercial interface has been established for the seeable future and cryptonote isn't it. Thats the real reason for the dearth of progress in that sector.


You're kind of distorting the purpose of my comment here. My comment was pointed at that the devs were actually on track to release a GUI somewhere in September/October 2014, but changed their path due to the attack and realized a different path would probably be more beneficial in the long run. Anyway, I agree with you that a few disadvantages are inherent to the different codebase. However, inherent to the different codebase also come a few advantages. It's probably too difficult to determine currently if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but I guess we'll observe that in the future. In addition, devs are actually planning to make Monero somewhat compatible with Bitcoin, see design goals -> https://getmonero.org/design-goals/ (merchant additions).

Perhaps the purpose of Monero isn't even to challange bitcoin's crown?

We know, we know... It is presented HERE all days all the time... Even our pets know everything about MONERO :-(

Automatic restart of crashed or hung masternodes

Dashwhale updater is a script, you install on the server you run your masternode. It collects the version and the blockheight of your masternode and checks, if your masternode is operating correctly. The data is pushed to the Dashwhale server, so you have comfortable access to your masternode data via the Dashwhale website and mobile apps.

All data is interpretated and in case your masternode is determined to be unfunctional for at least 10 minutes, it is automatically restarted. In addition, you are notified by email, mobile push notification or slack. Automatic restart makes sure your masternode does not drop of the payment list and you don't miss payments.

Download lastest Dashwhale updater supporting automatic restarts here:

https://www.dashwhale.org/downloads/dashwhale-updater-v4.tgz


Best,
Rango

P.S. Dashwhale updater supports multiple masternodes. Check out the example config:

Code:
our %masternodes = (
   'Xuia3V5v51AFTjYNtz6tpu9YrKYoWc9Ruz' => {
     'rpc_host'         => 'localhost',
     'rpc_port'         => 9998,
     'rpc_user'         => 'masternode1',
     'rpc_password'       => '123password',
     'daemon_autorestart'   => 'disabled',
     'daemon_binary'       => '/usr/bin/dashd',
     'daemon_datadir'     => '/root/.dash'
   },
   'Xo1cwpFNHff5Nj12qWWXhCDyv5fPCdGZNR' => {
     'rpc_host'         => 'localhost',
     'rpc_port'         => 9998,
     'rpc_user'         => 'masternode2',
     'rpc_password'       => '123password',
     'daemon_autorestart'   => 'disabled',
     'daemon_binary'       => '/usr/bin/dashd',
     'daemon_datadir'     => '/root/.dash'
   }
);

DASH is the future of crypto payments!
hey folks,

i download 12.55 from dashpay.io and after dashd -getinfo it says i have got 12.45

wtf is wrong?!
I can almost bet that you had old tar of v45 which you didn'r removed. Now after downloading v55 your old tar is not overwriten and has name*.1 so you extract the deamon from the old tar.
ls first and see if you do not have already tar in existence Wink

bovine quadruped, professional loafer, dash dev
?? This one:
https://www.dashpay.io/binaries/dash-0.12.0.55-linux64.tar.gz

Will give it a try and see what I get, downloading it now.

yeah this one

Idk, tried extracting it somewhere else? I know it overwrites the directory so maybe there's something in there with permissions changed but never had any issue before here :/

yes i tried. same outcome.

i usually just switch dashd and dash-cli, but that shouldnt cause an issue, right?

Not as far as I know, I used to do the same but usually just extract it and let it overwrite the existing folder since about when v12 came in. Tried moo on dashtalk? Think he's on at the mo.

no, not yet. its late and i will have to try further tomorrow. let me know if you had any issues.

what udjinm6 said.

First, check your binaries:

Code:
$ ./dashd --version
Dash Core Daemon version v0.12.0.55-c30a0aa
Copyright (C) 2009-2015 The Bitcoin Core Developers

Copyright (C) 2014-2015 The Dash Core Developers

This is experimental software.

Distributed under the MIT software license, see the accompanying file COPYING
or .

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the
OpenSSL Toolkit and cryptographic software written
by Eric Young and UPnP software written by Thomas Bernard.
Code:
$ ./dash-cli --version
Dash Core RPC client version v0.12.0.55-c30a0aa


Next, scan your harddrive for any lingering old versions:
(you could combine these, but is easier to follow if you do one at a time)

scan for all the dash-cli's
(first line will be the path to the executable
next  line will be that executable's version)
Code:
$ find / -name dash-cli -print -exec {} --version \; 2>/dev/null
/home/ubuntu/.dash/dash-cli
Dash Core RPC client version v0.12.0.55-c30a0aa

scan for all the dashd's
Code:
$ find / -name dashd -print -exec {} --version \; 2>/dev/null
/home/ubuntu/.dash/dashd
Dash Core Daemon version v0.12.0.55-c30a0aa

(remove any old versions you find)


Third, stop/kill the running process that is the old version (now that you've made sure that all the old versions are no longer on disk.)

Code:
$ dash-cli stop ; sleep 10 ; killall -9 dashd dash-shutoff


Finally, start up your newest version.

Code:
$ ./dashd





shameless plug:
I highly recommend using my utility dashman, it'll save you lots of time and headaches.
Just put your dashd and dash-cli in your .dash folder then do:

Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/moocowmoo/dashman.git
$ cd dashman
$ ./dashman update
(you only have to do the clone once)

Then you'll see something like this: (old screencap, but you get the point)







Once you've placed dashd and dash-cli in ~/.dash, run this command once to allow you to type 'dash-cli' from any folder:

Code:
echo 'export PATH=~/.dash:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

(logout/login for the above to take effect)

HTH!

There are a few threads going on over at r/Bitcoin about incentivizing nodes that might be of interest to people here.  Dash has been mentioned in both of them.
Thanks for the info.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3p84us/to_node_or_not_to_node_exploring_incentives_to/
and
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3p5n9c/number_of_bitcoin_nodes_is_at_a_6_year_low_if_you/

'The other problem is that it's not easy to set a bandwidth rate limit.
I believe that more people would run nodes if the Bitcoin client just ran unobtrusively and reliably in the background, consuming no more than about 100GB of bandwidth per month by default. '



Thanks for linking.  This one is on the front page of r/Bitcoin as well.  People are trying to figure out answers to problems that Dash has already solved.

The tar by default don't overwrite.
As the directory name don't change anymore...

You should have Some directories with .1, .2, ..., at the end.. No? And the .55 should be there.

Edit : Hmmm not so sure finally.

Show us all the steps you are doing. With some ls -ltr whrer you are downloading and detaring it.
