It's not like you lose your 1k Dash... you can sell them at anytime. Further, if you don't want to commit to buying 1k coins, buy what you feel comfortable with and look into a node share with others with less than the 1k amount.

Again, this requirement for a masternode isn't going anywhere. You're not magically going to be able to setup one without holding some coins and in total, summing to the 1k needed to qualify (be it all your coins or pooling with other fractional owners).

try looking for some Dash faucets (sites that give some free dash away) and also download a Dash wallet and put yr Dash Address in your signature.
If you also put a nice slogan there why you think Dash is a good coin to follow you may find yrself with some Dash one day... maybe faster then you think 

So you weren't planning on buying any Dash anyway? If you were planning on buying some coins, then whatever amount you ended up buying could be put toward a partial share in a masternode with others in a similar situation (restating). You could setup a node without any dash just by leaving an unfunded wallet open, but you certainly aren't going to get paid for it.

GODLIKE, If you just want to help the network, running a full node, or a wallet with the full blockchain will always be helpful.  Also, like alex-ru was trying to say, it will soon be possible to earn coins by making a proposal and getting paid directly from the blockchain.  10% of the blockchain rewards are going to pay for development, marketing, or whatever brilliant idea people come up with.  The only trick is to get enough people to vote for your idea that it gets approved.  If you get enough votes to win a spot, you will get payments directly to your wallet.

The way this will work is that after a proposal is made, it will have a forum where the entire community can discuss it, refine it, and the proposer will adjust his specifications until he gets the required votes.  Those specifications are the contract and if the proposer doesn't meet the mile stones, the voters can vote down the project and stop the funding.

It is desireable for everyone in the community to get involved, but only masternodes can vote for security reasons.

Anyway, it's a great way to earn coins if you have an idea and talent, especially in marketing or developing.

I don't have much funds... I plan to buy a few, like 30-50.
Not enough to get into funding anything

You can't say that any more, haha 

Was well worth it to get a laugh out of you, hehe

Must be tiring to be an idiot, and tell a tale full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing.

First you try to say that we will never eliminate the reference node, then that gets done. Now, you are saying that we will not implement Masternode Blinding, when we are clearly waiting for iPhone and Android implementation.

Don't you ever get tired of being owned?

You are wasting your time. Whether you like it or not, Evan is an award-winning developer creating a fantastic product. Quick, look for another straw to turn into a sideshow clown show! No one here cares...[/yawn]
