Hey newbie....your not going to get alot of love here starting out like that.  LOL.  There are hundreds of us masternode owners running Masternodes all over the world, I'm one of them.  There are links to where those IP's and where they are located.  Ask around...This software is still in beta, please refer to OP on this thread or  visit DashTalk or DASH.org.  

We as a community have been working on this project for over 2 years...there are several develpment maps available and charts showing milestones reached.  

Oh...by the way, Welcome.

My guess is - to get more people interested and maybe some of them will contribute to development too.

One person can control many IPs. It is very likely that a few instaminers own and operate many hundreds (and possibly several thousand) of masternodes.  Look at the funding proposal voting. It should be obvious that a small number of parties control most of the votes.

OH REALLY?!?    I was head of several large investors that bought loads of those initial coins, well over 150k+ DASH over the first 3 months as cheap as $0.21/DASH, in 2014, along with many others.  Sold a majority of those coins June 2014. Since then DASH has been spread around...ALOT.  There are hunderds of masternode operators...visit dashwhale for further information.    There are several informational charts showing coin distribution.  Please don't turn into another DASH Troll.   We've heard it all....from so called coin historians.  

Well, you asked about IPs and I gave you the answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Want to count the real entities on a pseudo-anonymous network? You are welcome to use any tools like http://dashvotetracker.com to find a large voter or to do your own investigation with your own tool - all data is open. I'd be very pleased if you succeed, your results probably will give us some ideas how to improve privacy in that part too, who knows.

Well...It feels good to have made a couple of Masternode's worth of DASH off the "trolleros".   There are some nice peeps over there...but still after all the trolling their reps did here, it feels good 

Looks like a couple of peeps here got spooked and sold 5 or 6 Masternodes worth of DASH.   I think there is going to be some more sell offs on all alt coins for the next few days.

No backdoor is built unless publicly denied it has been.

Liquidity is quite tight on Dash.

You don't notice it till you're on the outside trying to get back in  

I was about to attempt to grab some at 88 but some guy on poloniex trollbox told me it was a "clear head and shoulders" and I should wait cos it was going down. Just looked like a spike to me. All the same, never like to go against seasoned trading advice from the most authoritative source on the planet do we.

Could do with one of those 2k dumps right now but look at the masternode count....3537. It keeps filling up. That means the liquidity's going to keep getting tighter and tighter.
