"Up until early 2019 the plan was to use the Core chain for DashPay, however, this approach did not provide all necessary features and basically just did not work. Our choices at that point were to build something from scratch or take an existing open source project that best fit our requirements and modify it."

In the fourth year of "alleged" development work, two years after announcing evolution at a planetary event in London with media abuse ... they knew full well they had little more than shit stuck on a stick. However, their commercial communications in the meantime continued to expose scenarios of great prospects.

All this band of insiders, any element within the DASH organization chart, those who when some Mnodes they go to visit offices rented for $ 55,000 are not there, enter the SIXTH YEAR next week of knowledge of a precariousness that would breach any announced delivery, all of them destined to be displeased with the market and of course, to send the price directly to shit. Encouraging the public , meanwhile, to buy + keep their token-garbage (and this includes their network of complicit Mnodes, always ready to expand that reprehensible attitude, even at the risk of sinking the price of their assets and corrupting the ecosystem by extracting resources for other ways, such as the abuse in the proportions of the distributions - to get even minimal alms of their disastrous investment -. The truth is that the meekness of the "modest Mnodes" aligning themselves with this wealth-destroying charade is worthy of study on a global level. ... what a band!   ).

The knowledge of the situation, the deception of potential buyers and the scam are simply colossal.

Right now ... well, photographs of bucolic sunsets, "great achievements" potential and "imminent", possibly masking the errors they have by launching a testnet whose partiality no one can verify from the outside ... and continue sucking, dumping on the peaks and loading at a discounted price.

Useless scammers prove my words every day. Bastards, when the dash is already starting to be removed from the stock exchanges!

Not a week have taken the forecasts to be fulfilled, and that when we discussed it, Dash was at $ 115.

Dash is a project with a few years behind it, and in all this time many things have happened, however, after so many years, any investor has placed their trust here since March 2017 has barely obtained a positive return.

Does this mean that Dash hasn't evolved since March 2017?

Economically no, it has hardly been a good investment for a long-term holder.

At the protocol level, it has evolved, but it seems that not enough.

where is the problem?

Is it a general problem of all crypto?

It seems that no, many crypto have gained value as they implemented improvements ... even our "partner" Monero, has given us a pat on the back and has given us so far behind that we don't even see it anymore.

I personally accept that we have entered an event horizon that cannot be left.

The evidence is what we see, we can paint it the color we want, but having a currency like Dash for fast and cheap payments does not attract anyone anymore. There are other methods that people prefer.

Who wants to use Dash if they can use a credit card?

The population does not care if it is centralized like XRP, or XLM ... they only look for what is known and everyone talks about it.


One day, years ago, I said, with Dash at $ 1,300, that we could, with the budget at the time, hire an ad to show Dash to the world during the super bowl ... no one will remember anymore, but hardly any attention was paid .

If that, or something similar, had been tested that day, I'm sure Dash wouldn't be lower in the market ranking today.

Now on a lame budget, and without too many glances from investors, I take it for granted that this investment will be forgotten here for a long time, until some brilliant mind takes over, as long as the masternodes understand that they will lose everything if they don't.

Good luck and health

Right now a master node hardly contributes anything to receive 6%. Nothing apart from the invested capital, and a server.

I agree with you in part.

But remember that the most affected of all this are the nodes themselves that lose value in their investment despite receiving 6% per year.

Are masternode holders idiots?

And if tomorrow dash palttform demands more from the master nodes such as the use of a lot of memory, a specific computer with high characteristics ... a kind of "mining" based on computing power at the service of the Dash network to store data and similar things.


Would the master nodes become a kind of miners?


Would this 6% return for owning a master node make more sense to the ecosystem?

The ball is on the court, but remember that other currencies do not have master nodes and it can not be said that they have done better than us.

Let's contribute ideas, and maybe the nodes will value it in some way.

Are masternode holders idiots?

Yes, they are! all beside one (toknormal).  
dash will be $30- $40 soon in January and their masternodes will be worth nothing! mark my words....will happen in January

Hmmm... misery loves company. Whine, whine, whine...

What was the state of Dash a year ago, end of December 2019? It had hit a new ATL vs BTC, was lower than LTC... sound familiar? What happened last January?

Remember that emotion kills money...

Uhm... yeah... I mean ATL means all time low... so it can't be an ATL now if was higher than last year, right? And a pump and dump which ended up in a higher USD value? I guess I'd take those kind of pumps and dumps any day.

I know you are the only masternode owner who has been deemed not an idiot but with all the negativity and panic about the price and taking no action to mitigate your fears just doesn't seem so smart.

You should look at the bright side... DASH is still way above your doom prediction of $6 and is still more than double from a year ago...

So a warning... still some room to go down some (I did predict about 0.00375 BTC btw). Capitulation typically happens first before any real alt season can start. Lemmings always follow each other even if over the cliff...

How many capitulations would suit you ? Looks like you've got your 0.00375 incoming and plenty more.

If you say so.

My recollection was that bitcoin was getting a baptism of fire at that time due to forking for the first time ever and there was massive hedging into alts.
