is binance a good excahne that we can trust a bit?

I used cryptsy before and after that I used poloniex and I was the lucky ones that hear problems about cryptsy from this forum and transfered my dash over poloniex in time.
Now I had to spend most of my dash, I have a nice motorbike and a nice laptop and other stuff, now I have only 5 dash left and I hodl them since 2014. I keep them on dash liux desktop wallet but if 5 dash is enogh for staking it's better than sitting on my computer.

Before, I used moocowmoo's shared masternode services with 25 dash and it was good and when I needed tsome money it was just an automatic with only a mail that time.

Bitcoin broke $20,000. Lift off.

Dash has a node network that eats nearly $100,000 per day of blockchain revenue which would otherwise have gone to upwards difficulty adjustments to keep pace with price rises across the chain. To add to the pain, only around $4000 of that is to cover actual operating costs. The rest is just wasted on pure operator profit.

Dash back in the $100 price range and 1 billion dollar marketcap today. Dash is also keeping up rather nicely with Bitcoin and other altcoins today.

Now it is just waiting on Bitcoin's blow-off-top with its price and the diversification into Altcoins that should follow after that (this is my personal assumption, the market could react in a totally different way as well).

Edit : Wow, we actually have a Trump fan Ryan Taylor hater in here.. that is unexspected and a bit disappointing. There goes any respect i had for that person. Definitely no more merit points for you mister !
I guess certain people really do live in an alternative reality where everything gets twisted, the truth gets cut into little pieces and lies get spread through twitter on a hourly basis by Trump and people just accept that,
believe it and support it, even on a crypto-focused forum like this one through two separate posts. Please do not promote Dash through Trump, last thing Dash needs is association with Trump and his bad rep.

So Ryan Taylor should be fired huh ? Maybe we should fire the whole Dash Core Group as well ? Maybe we should do this in the coming months ? Just before Dash Platform & DashPay gets released ?
If this is how discussions about the masternodes miners rewards are done these days (this low level), i don't want any part in it.

Any more of those kind of posts and it will be instant ignore from me. I have no time or intention to read that kind of crap on this forum, Nthelight.

of course he is the one twisted and he lives in an alternate reality, we all know this by now. if 100 people tell you to go to sleep....go to sleep you idiot quizzie! this is not your forum here, we don't care what do you want to read or not. go in your cave if you don't want to read, we don't care!  you think that you and your 3-4 friends can argue with hundreds? you don't mean anything to this public forum and you are just a paid troll here and everyone knows this.

Intention process. It's just a meme. I figured it was kind of funny, but I guess it triggers some people.

I couldn't care less about merit points. That system is completely flawed.
 - Old accounts received merit according to their status, not because of high quality posts they made.
 - People with merit only give merit to posts they like. Quality criticism will receive no merit.
 - It creates an echo chamber where people say what they think people want to hear. Reddit has exactly the same problem.

So after one meme, you decide that I hate Ryan Taylor? I don't.


I don't do Twitter. My other post has nothing to do with Trump. There is a reason why people are shifting capital into the crypto space and it's not because governments and financial institutions are doing such a great job. If they were, Satoshi would never have created Bitcoin. My country now has 120% debt versus GDP and zero interest rates on savings accounts. People's savings are being wrecked and there is no real escape for ordinary people other than considering a risky move into crypto. Most people are completely clueless as to how the world works or what goes on.


If Ryan Taylor's store of value analysis is wrong, he may have made things worse. Any CEO who makes a capital mistake should be fired.

I'm worried that our 'base economics layer' is parameterized in a way that provides continuous down pressure on price. There is no serious influx of money to set up new masternodes, but masternodes continue to have a high return no matter what happens.

We have a design that deviates strongly from Bitcoin. Our design is unique and provides undeniable benefits, but we should not pretend it is perfect.

There are clear indications in my opinion (and others) that the recent change will make things worse. My initial assessment of Ryan's tokenomics in 2019 was that it was flawed.
I was very worried about the intent to move away from the oldskool way of thinking, which is that a (100%) Proof of Work mining model (and the cost involved) pushes price upwards.

I countered toknormal's statements and point of view here on bitcointalk, so he could give a more convincing explanation. With the insight into 'total network cost' which translates into a 'hidden transaction cost' it has become more clear that it's likely true that high masternode revenues actually provide continuous downward pressure on the price.

Masternode revenue can be dumped at any price. Miners need a high price.

There is probably truth in the statement that "price finds an equilibrium around its production cost (with a slight margin)".

I love Dash, but I'm very open to criticism. Blind faith will not get us to where we want to go.


You don't really discuss any of the points that are brought up. You make attempts to counter some elements and ignore everything else.


Ignoring people is a sign of weakness.

The Dash community should welcome diversity of opinion and not always be so defensive when someone deviates from the "consensus".

There was a time i thought Trump was funny, now i just think he is dangerous, extremely dangerous. So yes, promoting Dash through using Trump memes is something i think we should try to avoid in here.
And yes, i may have mistaken your two trump memes in twose two seperate posts, as a sign of a you being a firm Trump supporter, with a drive to extend that Trump support to this forum.
Which means i may have overreacted in my previous post.  

I and many others have countered toknormal so many times this year that i lost count, so i am no longer interested in countering any blockreward allocation change discussion point.
Frankly that ship has long sailed.

If people like you and toknormal can not come to terms with the blockreward reallocation change being massively supported by masternode operators and feel that by
keeping a laserfocus attention on this specific topic in here will somehow make a difference, by all means please continue. And if you want to keep it as low level as you
recentely started to, by focussing on one specific person (Ryan Taylor), then by all means continue.

I will just ignore your posts then, no big deal. In the end i want to read something interesting and new on this forum, not a constant rehashing of old arguments on one specific topic.
It gets boring after awhile. It does not mean i necessarily put you on ignore, just that i will stop paying attention to your posts.
Same as with posts of toknormal on that specific topic. I am pretty done with the whole blockreward allocation change topic by now.

Little bird up there i do have on ignore, just to protect my ears (little bird sings some pretty ugly songs).

@toknormal.

Aside from the MINER/MN/DCG/OTHER split...

Just for discussion purposes. Can I pick your brain on the following points?

1. What do you think about the yearly -7% miner reduction scheme? Bitcoin uses a halving (-50%) scheme every 4 years and there seems to be a general consensus that it creates strong upwards pressure on the price. Some time after the halving, price seems to strongly push higher. It almost confirms that the pure PoW mining model pushes price higher as inflation decreases and mining competition increases. Also, it leads to a reduced emission rate which is significantly slower than Bitcoin and other coins. How would you assess the impact of increasing the miner reduction scheme (possibly in combination with increased miner share)?

2. How would you feel if Dash reduces the capital requirement for setting up a masternode, in the absence of protocol level shared masternodes? Clearly, this forms a high barrier to enter our service provisioning market (masternode network) and not everyone wants to use 3rd party shared masternode services (they should only do that if they are willing to take on the risk). Would you agree that reducing the capital requirement for masternodes should lead to an increased influx of investment? Seems like a no brainer to be honest if we want to see more "investment" into masternodes. With people like birdonthewire going mental about not being able to enter the 'centralized scam' masternode network, I think it would be time to consider it. I believe there is also no longer any technical constraint to manage a much larger masternode list (since DIP003), but the devs would need to confirm that again.

3. What do you think about the previously discussed idea to move the decimal backwards which would lower price per coin with a factor 100 for example? So if 1 Dash equals $100, it would become 100 Dash equals $100 or 1 Dash equals $1. It is not my personal preference, but during the 2017 pump to +$1500 it became quite clear that it provides a psychological barrier for potential investors who really want to own full units and simply don't understand the relation of our price with our extremely scarce supply. We simply don't have the recognition that Bitcoin has and some people erroneously feel like the price is high without understanding the mechanism behind it. Price is actually very cheap, given our total supply is going to be one of the lowest of the entire crypto space, but new investors don't see or understand it.
