DASH is the future of crypto payments!
I was going to just hack start-many and start-alias to have an option to dump encoded hex with the masternode broadcast. So your cold-wallet could be a non-internet connected computer, you would just boot it up and run "masternode start-many-offline "password", then you would just take the hex dump and paste it into the online computer, like "masternode broadcast-raw encoded-message".

So you'll still need physical access to the box, but it'll be a million times more secure  Smiley
THIS is the idea! one more move but for the higher security its worth everything!

I wish there was a way to use it in conjunction with starting masternodes from cold wallets for the ultimate protection.

I agree. Currently the "cold" wallet masternode start requires exposing a 1000DRK private key to an internet connected computer.

With Electrum, it is possible to use a computer with zero internet connectivity to sign transactions with a private key, then go to an online computer with a "private key-less" Electrum to broadcast them.  Once we have Electrum-DRK, it might be easy to implement a masternode start in a similar fashion (and for the extra-paranoid, use a hardware wallet like Trezor on the offline computer).  

Given the frequency of mandatory coldwallet starts and the ever-increasing $/BTC value of those 1000DRK private keys, offline masternode starting/signing (by means of a HW wallet or an offline computer) should be a high priority, IMO.

I agree too. I think this can be an important improvement to the system.

I think Evan posted something like that to be implemented in the next releases. Can you Evan or someone confirm this?  

tnks,

Confirmed. Offline starting of masternodes will be supported.

Thanks alot for the info.

This will be really useful for the community to maintain Masternodes when we are abroad, far away of our beloved cold wallets

 Indeed !! and keep them really cold, not semi-cold like many
Will be great!
Meaby simply using simple wallet we can do:
masternode start-many "darkcoin_conf_file" (which will contain privkey and tx:index with 1000 input, for the masternodes where 1000 wasn`t touched it will start just like that but for newly created MNs there have to be at least one start as before)
but knowing developers team they already know how to do it so I can stop sweating about the ide how-to Wink

How cold are we talking here? This place is the coldest in the universe and slows light down to a walking pace by causing a new state of matter called a bose Einstein condensate thats changes all the atoms so they act like a single super conducting giant atom.
To expect more than this would be unreasonable,

We put on goggles to protect ourselves from being blinded by infrared light from the laser beams that are used to slow down and thereby cool fast-moving atomic particles. We cross the hall from his sunny office into a dark room with an interconnected jumble of wires, small mirrors, vacuum tubes, laser sources and high-powered computer equipment. "Right here," he says, his voice rising with excitement as he points to a black box that has an aluminum-foil-wrapped tube leading into it. "This is where we made the coldest temperature."

Question

as we are at 2345 active MN's already
is there any prediction what will happen when we hit 3000 ?!
i know the security idea was always 2-3000 MNs

is there a cut off number for MN's
as of, too many coins off the market/deflation worries ?!
Any idea ?
(i think we will hit 3k or even 4 k faster than we know it !!)

By the way, we plan to clean reset the Darkcoin blockchain without instamine. Genesis launch is Jan/18/2015 ;-)

... no instamine, promised!!!!1 :-D

Please don't waste your time. Instead, put your focus on stabilize current features and innovates.

Jokes are similar to Schrödinger's cat: when you explain them you destroy them. It's all Heisenberg's fault.

(yes, vertoe's joke was a REALLY good one. Kudos to her...)



Heisenberg, Godel, and vertoe walk into a bar.

Heisenberg turns to the other two and says, “‘Clearly this Is a joke, but how can we figure out if It’s funny or not?”

Godel replies, “‘We can’t know that because we’re inside the joke …

vertoe says, “Of course it’s funny. You’re just telling It wrong.”
