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

Enjoy the graph.



Yeah, the masternode compliance police have been out in full force making sure people are paying their masternode tax.  

You obviously didn't read the first 300 pages. Without master nodes there is no anonymity. Without payments to master nodes any dick with an internet connection could start hundreds of master nodes and there would be no anonymity. Without payments there is no incentive to buy 1000 DRK and tie them up in Master Nodes. Without Master Nodes there is no mining, because there would be no point.

Pointless.

Rather like you.

I guess you would rather user your internet connection to launch hundreds of free to use master nodes.



Without master nodes there is no anonymity.

Exactly!  Darkcoins anonymity exists only with a masternode cluster fuck.  There are better anonymity solutions being developed.


You actually confirm some of what I posted "buy 1000 DRK and tie them up in Master Nodes.".  Masternodes require people to invest in 1000 DRK and then keep them off the market therefore driving up the price.  How convenient.

Darkcoin was being mined for months without masternodes.


Bottom line is that other solutions already provide at least the same a level of anonymity as Darkcoin without the need to tax one user to pay another for running a masternode.  Everyone knows that Bitcoin isn't anonymous.  Darkcoin is a Bitcoin clone.  Darkcoin is trying to be something it was never intended to be.  A truly anonymous coin will be designed with anonymity from the beginning.  There are some right now.  The masternode network is basically a hack that will prove to be problematic and suffer from issue after issue due to the fact that it's trying to make something into something it was never intended to be.  Already two failed rollout attempts.  It also creates an image of unfairness by taxing miners to pay masternode operators.  A better solution would have been to charge enough of a fee from the users sending anonymously to pay masternode operators an amount that still made it profitable to run a masternode.  But then you wouldn't have people wanting to use the network.  

Darkcoin suffers from a bad methodology to achieve anonymity and it's put everything into this one basket.
