Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend

We're at 86% RC5 compliance Cool

plus Master Node count went over 1,000. Just noticed today.

Can you explain how you count nodes, I see in the third graph labeled Darkcoin Masternode Count and Payment (http://drk.poolhash.org/mnode.html), that there was a drop in masternodes on october 2nd from 886 to 832 and that now it is back up to 839. Actually i sold some of DRK because I assumed this graph was correct and it meant that a drop of 54 nodes would provide more lilquidity than what the market can handle. Apparently this has not happened and the price has gone up but the number of masternodes has not gone back up above 886.

Am I right assuming that 54 nodes dropped out? Is there a correct way to count active nodes and to monitor when nodes drop out?
Sorry for these questions but I need to know.

If you go to drk.mn check:

Total Masternodes: 1017 = 840 actives + 177 inactive

Whether they are active or inactive it means the network sees the nodes and the daemons are running, although moving the coins and leaving the servers running would make your node show inactive there are many other reasons for this like ports being closed etc. Also someone who sells his masternode coins is unlikely to keep the server running just because. If a vps is completely terminated it wont show active or inactive, so dont assume inactive nodes are directly related to selling the coins, seeing a growing count active + inactive is always a good indicator and we havent been above 1000 ever before.
