So, will there be a fork that has the proposed 80/20 split in rewards for miners/masternode owners? Or is this just all talk?
Regarding trustless shared masternodes, I hope this is up next on the roadmap after the release of Dash Platform (DashPay). It seems to me this one thing would alleviate many of the concerns certain people have here. Having said that, StakeHound is a good first step and should help in the interim. Anyone know how that is progressing?
Stakehound, as far as I know, allows you to receive rewards from Mnode with the DASH you deliver ... and also receive rewards for the services generated by the token replicated in ETH (wrapped-wrapped DASH).
This, in addition to being the umpteenth attempt by Ryan Taylor and other artists for DASH holders to be treated like shit and take on KYC, hand over their tokens in custody, etc., that is, some fucking puppets unrelated to any elemental crypto operation that of course, DAO hijackers DO enjoy ... creating a BASIC USE gap, which is what the non-compliance with the Shared Mnodes offered in the DASH protocol has degenerated into, which already affects those "future beneficiaries" at any level.
This further accentuates the problem of concentrating DASH in fewer and fewer hands ... it is literally "a game of chairs". Having owners of hundreds of Mnodes, just by converting their returns to "wrapped DASH", they would continue to expand Mnodes ... and also, increasing their returns with the ETH token in defined services ... added returns to load even more DASH (Logically from those who constantly undo their positions by having less financial capacity to support them or dedicate DASH hypes to vital objectives of greater economic demand than their current level, which will be a constant bait for owners of few Mnodes, which with their sales, will reduce also, the level of vote in front of the whales) . Obviously, Mnodes owners would assume a minimal risk due to custody, public identification, etc. with respect to micro-holders, but, and this is the most serious thing and that affects the centralization of the project ... the modest owners , gambling for a few crumbs, frequently 100% of its assets in DASH ... while the whales would simply gamble on their returns, never exposing their main base of DASH savings and influence on the ecosystem. For some clueless to get an idea, a whale with a hundred Mnodes could, through this system, receive returns on a basis of 7 Mnodes more per year ... and their respective ETH tokens, with which possibly, double that 6 -7% (and also, now, have these prepared for any convenient speculative movement ... not to mention the easily appreciable trend that micro-holders will spend their returns taking their tokens to market, due to their infinitely lower purchasing power) . The tendency to concentrate power, EVEN WITHOUT REDUCING OWNERS, is enormous. And Mnodes with few devices will only benefit until the proportion turns their voting power into irrelevant shit.
Let's remember: There are 4000 Mnodes that NEVER vote ... UNTIL THE DAY THEY DO, of course. In the most capricious and selfish sense that you can think of. They may be expanding their positions by two percentage figures OF INFLUENCE IN THE CHAIN every year: Decentralization "Made in DASH" ... which will probably soon the cheaters who today marginalize microholders or miners ... and assault the Treasury "formerly collective" while They are looking for 5-figure investors whose vote - and by extension, reward - is totally, utterly vulnerable to these shenanigans.
To those close to Duffield in his day, quite possibly generously graced by the enormous heritage in Tokens of the founder ... surely that doesn't hurt them too much, right? Some with lack of enough shame to also become the victims defending that they "work hard" - in crypto, when you hear "work hard" or "soon", you can start to tremble - DASH for their "idealism" and the minimum wage ( in dollars, of course).
