Oh Mangled, that's why I don't hang out here too much anymore.  It got to you I see.  Hope you'll be over at Darkcointalk though?  It gets to me too.  When it does, I just kinda go away for a while.  On top of that, I've said stupid things too on the forum, usually not making my point correctly, (especially when I've had some wine with dinner, I'm such a lightweight, LOL.)  So you also have to remember communication is pretty craptastic even in the best circumstances   Hope you'll feel better soon   ::hugs::

lets stop the bickering, since we are all here to support this awesome project. Obviously, not everyone will get along, but as long as people respect one another, everything is good.

DRK team are the guys for anonymity coins!
they dont talk trash. they just deliver nice results!

Mate, I am running at a considerable loss as it is. I only speak for myself, you may not believe it but I only own 75% of 1 MN. My other 2 are from private investors. You have no idea what I went through after the last fork and the price plummeted.\\

I'm self employed freelancer with barely any real work, in a country that was financially raped to the ground by the European Central Bank, the IMF and f*cking Moody's and Standard's & Poors

You are right. This IS a revolution I am proud to be part of, where you do not need to be rich to have an impact. I dont bitch about my financial situation, I stand up and do something about it, every single day.. and absolutely every single euro does add up to help me pay for next months rent. So that I dont need to CASH OUT DRKs to make end's meet.

And I DO NOT promote Amazon. To each, his own. Why dont you go bitch to chaeplin about his extensive use of Amazon and tutorials? Or even Evan, as he uses it too, extensively.

So go facepalm yourself all day long, you arrogant prick.

Great! its just what happens

Looks like a bot trying to keep the price down, but without knowing how it's programmed and why, who knows?

A lot of people will just check the latest price at the top of the exchange page, or use coinmarketcap or coinwarz or something which just reports the last trade price, so constantly buying the lowest ask or whatever can influence goldfish brained ADD crypto types.

And two bots working together, one selling and the other buying, can move the price anywhere they like if the bots have access to enough funds and the overall market volume is low enough.

Maybe he didn't go about in the most diplomatic fashion but I think he is absolutely right.

Advising that everyone should set up MNs according to their own priorities is ok to a certain extent but it's not necessarily in the best interests of darkcoin for everyone to do that. Hypothetically, if a hosting provider offered 5 years of free unlimited hosting surely it would be in the best interests of most masternode holders to sign for a service which costs nothing. Would it be in the best interests of darkcoin for every maternode to be hosted with the same provider? Absolutely not.

A look at http://drk.poolhash.org/mnode.html shows that close to 44% of masternodes are hosted with Amazon. Sure they're in different locations but they still belong to the same entity. 20% belonging to Choopa (Vultr) is quite a lot too. Are Darkcoin's masternodes truly decentralised? Perhaps, but if everone signed up to a service just because it were free, the masternode network would be basically centralised, regardless of whether the nodes are hosted by the same entity in one country, or different countries. Because while network issues could be technical, there could also be legal or political issues.

I put it to you that not everyone is acting purely out of self interest when they select their masternode host. No doubt there are those who are struggling to pay the bills but I seriously doubt that is most people who own masternodes. Each one is currently valued at about $5 500.

The Masternode network should be more decentralised and that is the responsibilty of the Masternode owners.

Hello ....>
 

yeah, thats quite enough (as masternodes currently function now).

come on and relax
you really think amazon is gonna go through their whole world wide servers to 'hunt' down MN's !?!
You are watching too many movies !
