Most if not all masternodes are hosted on centralized servers, therefore making them easy to take down or get controlled by the government without the masternode owners ever knowing. It's as simple as that.

You're a troll. You've already lied once and said a ton of plain wrong comments showing your misunderstanding of basic concepts. Please just stop. Masternodes and Regular Nodes are much different(Masternodes for Dash provide much functions than a regular node, and thus centralization or hosting it on a centralized server is much more "dangerous" than for a regular node)

we covered this already too didn't we?

even if you gained control of 51% of masternodes, you would have:

1) 0.000000000000000000000403286875% probability of deanonymizing a transaction

2) 0.0% of making any money

so 'hosting it on a centralized server is much more "dangerous" than for a regular node' is just a crock and you know it because we already talked about it right? Huh

Hey, all I said was it's more dangerous to host a masternode than a regular node, for fear of centralization, getting compromised by gov or other authority, having large amounts of nodes shut down by an attacker which would "end" the anonymity, etc and yes I've seen this conversation before, I simply responded to what you said earlier. I wasn't talking about the chance of deanonymizing anything.
