I last heard from him 30th June I think, he didn't say that he'd be out of communication, but had earlier sent this:

"Late July works for me. I wasn't able to travel this year, but some of the family is heading this way. I have a mini-family reunion but they all leave by the middle of the month."

Thanks for this - reassuring, to say the least.

However, this brings up the issue of a backup - what if there was a REAL emergency or for whatever reason, DZ was unable to perform?
Shouldn't we have a contingency plan in place?
Verified and tested - not just someone saying, "thomas_s has all the details" or whatever.

I know there are other larger players here that would - or should - be interested in a "plan B".

Maybe we can take this incident as a "wake up call"?

"I do want to believe in DZ. I do hope I am wrong. And I already apologise if I have been unjust. But the moment thomas_s said he has nothing to do with it, while DZ said, many times, that thomas_s is his partner, and responsible for part of the works, I can hardly have any hopes any more.

"Thank you for your post. I agree with you, Let's wait and see."

Tomorrow is July 16 - the deadline for me would be midnight Saturday, July 19.
Posts in the scammer section would be next.

Agreed. I would actually give him till Sunday the 20th though just in case he was on vacation for an extended time.

Okay, till 23:59:59 Sunday, July 20, 2014 HST.

DZ, please check in - let us know you are still alive and well.

At the beginning (6/16), when DZ was setting this up and (to me) appeared overwhelmed, I asked DZ if I could help with some of the admin stuff, like spreadsheets.
He responded in this PM:

Quote

Oh thank you, thank you for the offer. It's much appreciated.

I will def. keep you in mind should this become a big hit and/or should thomas_s choose to no longer do it.

Cheers

I respected that, and took it as someone who gets things done by doing everything himself, instead of delegating - maybe too much, perhaps?

This is starting to smell, but I'm willing to give DZ a few more days to show up.

I truly hope DZ didn't have some emergency, and that he is okay.
Maybe it's just a matter of bad communication - we'll see.

I am calm ... my sense for scammers always alarms me in advance...
think logically, why he should loose great income stream from managing MNs for one rape shot, loosing all of his credibility in community!
It is simply not logical...

Lets calm down and wait for an update from DZ.

Too early. DZ's communication sucks and he should have told Thomas what's up but this is not criminal yet by any means.

I haven't been following this thread at all, but he (DZ) just disappeared? Sad

The next payout was scheduled for tomorrow, right? I'd probably not do anything until then?

Also, are the involved Masternodes known? As in, are they all still there, etc.? If so, he hasn't really done anything wrong yet, just disappeared (I agree, disappearing is "bad", but I don't think there's anything illegal about it?).

Yes, you're right, luigi1111. Let's wait. It's too early.

Is it clear that DZ is a scammer and not just dead or in hospital or something?

FWIW, I sent DZ 750 DRK and then decided to increase my DRK holdings and set up my own masternode myself. I requested a refund of the 750 DRK stake and received it within 48 hours. Maybe I was just lucky, I don't know. Just feel like I should post that here.

Yes, ddink7 is right. It's early to make assumptions: It would make no sense that DZ acted dishonestly, he had a lot to earn as MasterNode admin, and he has shared so much of his personal info.

I am sure something unexpected happened to DZ and everything will be fine in the end.

UPDATE:

I have just received a reply from DZ's partner as follows:

Quote from: thomas_s on July 15, 2014, 02:20:41 PM

Hi CripLib,

I was never fully brought on board for the darkcoin masternodes and don't actively participate in it / have never, while I was planning on it I was never contacted with what I needed to do.

Thank you, Thomas, for your reply. I am so sorry that it took so long for you to clarify it. I'll let the community know it.

Can you please help us get in touch with DZ, or at least understand what is going on with him. as he has been your partner for such a long time, as it seems, it is natural that you are possible to help as here.

Thnak you.

What we can do now:

(inappropriate reactions deleted. excuse me)

Let's exchange PMs. let's act.

The service idea is good, and important. It is not a matter of quitting it. It just needs to become "trustless" in order to be "riskless".

This is starting to be in discussion here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/2aopdl/trustless_coin_leasing_system_that_would_allow

If this feature is implemented, it will be a wonderful achievement to the Darkcoin Community.

But while this trustless coin leasing system is not available, maybe it is possible to use something like a "Split Wallet" (see how bitaddress.org does it) or "Shamir's Secret Sharing" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing )

Very quiet - no news is good news? Undecided

It's not good news at all. It's a community project, such lack of communication should not happen. I'm sorry to say, it's not correct.

DyslexicZombei has never connected again since July 06, but even DZ's partner, "thomas_s", who whenever I check is always online, has NEVER replied to my PMs.

The idea for this service is great, but there seems to be nothing good coming from here, and (even if they reappear tomorrow, and even bring us payouts) I do not want to continue.

I do not believe they are going to run away, because there's not this much money involved: reputation value still matters, but unfortunately things went the way they are until now.

That's why I used the question mark.
I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, until evidence shows otherwise.
What if DZ got in an accident, was in the hospital, or had a family emergency?
That tumblr link/road trip - I don't know what to think.
If he's so busy, why would he go on an unannounced vacation?
Not sure if it even belongs to him.

thomas_s not replying to PMs is disconcerting, agree.

Hello, my friends, according to the people at the Darkcoin Talk, it is possible that DZ is in a holiday trip.

Please, have a look at the Darkcoin Talk discussion thread here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/dyslexiczombeis-darkcoin-community-masternode-services.1780

Lets all calm down and wait for DZ.
I m confident that he ll explain in detail how this lack of communication / TOR link not working, happen.

Little patience... but I can agree that it is weird for over a week not having any feedback.
