Kraken adding Dash staking (soon) can be pretty interesting for Dash, specially if Kraken start to promote it as well.
Interesting. Does that mean they're doing a masternode sharing thing? Dash isn't proof of stake, so I can only assume that's what they're doing. I also think that's very cool, as owning your own dash masternode is out of reach for a lot of people including myself.
What I'm not comfortable with is keeping coins on *any* exchange, no matter how trusted. It might be convenient to stake this way, but it sorta makes my skin crawl a little bit.
I don't think this is related to Dash discussions about Masternode sharing or Dash discussions on providing some form of staking through protocol, or even as a way for Kraken to
get a few masternodes for themself (in theory they could, but it seems a bit unpractical to me), i rather see this as a way for exchanges to attract more customers
and also get more liquidity of certain tokensand a convenient way for Dash to grow their store of value. It seems to evolve around storing certain cryptocurrencies (Tezos, Cosmos and Dash so far) on some sort of separate internal Kraken staking
wallet (spot wallet ?), which then adds staking rewards to it.
I do agree with you with not feeling comfortable keeping funds on any exchange, or on any centralized entity. But getting staking rewards twice a week on some smaller Dash amounts
(for example on masternode rewards that are sent to that exchange anyways for payout in Euro's) does sound tempting, although i'm not sure what the staking percentage for Dash will be.
DASH is masternode but this must be a pool to join masternod, a chance after al for those who can't afford the 10k dash collateral.
Not 10k --> 1k
