I think I could probably drive a bus through that chip on your shoulder by now. If it gets any bigger your arm will fall off.

Is this FUD/trolling or are you giving investment advice?

Lets do the math. Currently there are 3300 masternodes in total. If Otoh wants to attack instant x with his 500 masternodes. The chance that all of the 10 random choosen instant x masternodes are from Otoh are 0.000000590407831743% or am I wrong? With your proposed 50 masternodes 0.0000000000000000246727918068%. Good luck. (My numbers may be wrong, please correct me in that case)

It is more personal vendetta now and this make him look even "better".
I will not criticise him for doing this because he could develop some kind of inteligence as a result.
Let him be like this. It hurts already.

...because 'some' knows better   

great pic !

Afaik, 4 out of the 9 in the quorum can vote "no" and if the rest 5 vote "yes" the IX lock is on.

Really interesting article, and my response to it:

This is an excellent, well-reasoned, and insightful piece. It would be better, however, without the obvious bias you have against the bitcoin community. Terms like "hypocrisy" don't add much to the discourse, and make it seem like you have a bone to pick rather than an objective, rational argument.

I do particularly like how you pointed out that the actual cost of money transfer using "traditional" methods is in fact quite low, and that much of the cost of using these services is in ordinary overhead, such as commissions, that would be present in any formal business that was based on bitcoin transfer.

I think the ultimate goal for bitcoin and other digital currencies is to make things so simple to use that people can send value from one person to another directly, without ever interacting with a middleman. Circle is one company that is working hard on that; it is now possible to send money with low or no fees directly to other people using Circle Pay. They use the Bitcoin network to send the transaction, but Bitcoin is never actually mentioned in the marketing. It's merely a back-office function.

Theoretically, if the Bitcoin software was more user-friendly and currency conversion was easier or a non-issue (due to a universal, stable bitcoin value), then Bitcoin could be used to transfer value from one wallet directly to another without relying on third-party companies.

In short, your arguments are valid if you are comparing for-profit "traditional" remittance companies with for-profit Bitcoin-based remittance companies. I think the ultimate goal of the Bitcoin community, however, is to cut all companies out of the equation and send money directly peer-to-peer for virtually free. The rub, of course, is that a rural Bolivian farmer can't do a damn thing with a bitcoin. IMO, that's the problem to solve.

There you go! Another problem completely solved. Even problems I believed to be insoluble fall when Evan tackles them.

(Somebody asked a few weeks ago how you could prevent an insanely-funded organization, such as a nation state, from attacking Dash. I said I thought it would be impossible, as it would be with Bitcoin or virtually any corporation. Now we can see that even if the NSA or GCHQ bought millions of DASH and set up thousands of additional masternodes, at best they would only get a 25% vote in the quorum pool, because masternode quorums are now determined partially by age. Brilliant.)

Is there a recent guide that is up to date for multiple masternode setups? I have one running already, I would just like to add another to the same wallet.

Thank you.

Russian Central-Bank reports: 78.6% of money in Russian economy are circulating in form of CASH (it is only about Russian Rubles. And no statistic knows how many USD/EUR CASH is circulating here...).

"Let's make it with DASH, baby!"
