No growth? Seems before the 2017 bull run DASH was around $8 - $10.
Satoshi prices are all that matter for assets that claim to be more investible than bitcoin.
No wonder you wallow in your misery. I purchased DASH with fiat... it seems you sold BTC for DASH at an unfavorable ratio.
We're headed into the bottom half of the top 100 now when we could be competing with Litecoin very easily if the community became more aware about which of Dash's features contributed to capital gain. (Hint: Mining is the engine, features is the steering wheel)
Well, we were headed towards 50, but over the last week we've clearly reversed that trend. Do you think it's already over?
Tok, would you agree that one thing we could do that would improve the situation slightly is to reduce the collateral requirement for running a masternode to 250 DASH, which essentially quadruples the hosting fee, puts more nodes on the network and makes running masternodes more accessible for average people which should improve the decentralisation of the network and reduce the constant outcry for shared masternodes to be built into the protcol? I do not subscribe to the argument that too many nodes would congest the network, Bitcoin has more nodes than we do and TXes propoagate through it within a second or too, ofcourse they then take days to get mined. I would support reducing the collateral requirements.
Although I prefer implementing shared masternodes where each masternode is either made up of 10 100 DASH collateral addresses, 5 200 DASH collateral addresses or even 4 250 DASH collateral addresses, I'd be ok with lowering the collateral to 250 as well for similar reasons as you state.
