We're almost at 80% masternode payments compliance!! I'll admit I didn't think we could do so well without enforcement, but I didn't knew people like GhostPlayer were going to work so hard on this Smiley



Yeah, the masternode compliance police have been out in full force making sure people are paying their masternode tax.  Will there be penalties going forward  for not paying the masternode tax?  Will a non-compliant pool operator be charged late fee's once they do become compliant?  You could probably get a lot of good ideas from the United States Internal Revenue Service about collecting the masternode tax and what to do to those pool operators that are non-compliant.  Maybe you could put a lien on their server or take them to court.  There has to be some way to punish these individuals for tax evasion.  Darkcoin is starting to resemble a government entity or corporation.  It even has has it's own compliance officers and tax collectors.  Enjoy your new image.  It's amazing that you have confessed anarchists embracing a coin that is doing the same things that people complain about governments doing.  I would imagine that if it was possible, some on this thread would condone incarceration and/or fines handed out to those non-compliant pool operators.  Hang em High!

Just dumped the last of my DRK holdings.  I can't get away from this stench fast enough.  I'm obviously not alone either.  Enjoy your centralized masternode solution and compliance officers.  Big Brother will make sure that the masternode operators get every last dime of taxes levied on the miners.  It seems that entire purpose of this coin is to provide income for masternode operators and that the entire masternode concept was designed to take DRK's off the market thereby causing the value to go up.  Anonymity is obviously no longer the driving force behind this coin.  It's all about masternode payments to a few large holders and nothing more.  Enjoy your slow but steady decline towards the bottom.  I just noticed Ripple passed DRK on Coinmarketcap and Peercoin is right behind. The writing is on the wall for everyone to see.



To your questions in sentence 2 and 3, I would say "most definitely not". You make reasonably valid points, at least from my perspective. The payment is literally optional at this moment. (sure, the network/community/whatever *wants* the payments to go out, but by definition they are not currently required to) Hopefully the new code for election and payments will take care of this anyway. There's nothing that needs to be done to "punish" bad actors, as their blocks will simply be rejected. They'll fix themselves.

As to the second paragraph, that is your perception I guess. I think you couldn't be further from reality, but that's just me.

Peace.
