I got Byteballs, but not any blackballs. Are they sent at the same time?
Same here. Transition bot said yesterday: "You also receive 0.21111 blackbytes for each 1 byte of your balance on the linked Byteball address, which currently is: ***: 2.**** GB." but there're no any blackbytes now.

It's all clear about variance.
The weird thing is incremented "lastpayment" entry in the list without real payment occured. I believe updated "lastpayment" (from ./dash-cli masternodelist full, I observe it from 3 of mine vps) means that consensus decided some mn must be paid - and there're no ways to avoid that since the enforcement is active. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It's not about bugs in the monitoring scripts. Looks like dashninja.pl calculates "Last Paid=1d8h37m20s" based on "masternodelist full" output and dashwhale shows "Lastpay=6 days ago" based on the real payment transactions in the blockchain.
Anyway I'll inform about next payment. Wink

One of my masternodes must be paid during last day. Here I can see "Last paid=12h3m54s", but there was no any payments. The "nextpay" counter at dashwhale started to count from start. What happened?

I didn't see the payment that you mentioned on dashninja, last payment was
Code:
2015-11-09 08:27:39 366803 coinmine.pl 2.08929 50.0%/50.0% Xccqh1yAg2HBNrn9ENdPu9RiREiH65ggCk Xccqh1yAg2HBNrn9ENdPu9RiREiH65ggCk

Has your masternode been restarted, or has the network been offline for more than an hour?
No.
The problem is that dashninja as well as dashwhale and, hm, the network (see below) are said there is a payment.
Code:
./dash-cli masternodelist full | grep "Xccqh1yAg2HBNrn9ENdPu9RiREiH65ggCk"
"2c677386a815d70b73f1b519921f24daebec74933f8bf5f0a2f08a9a60796518-0" : "  ENABLED 70103 Xccqh1yAg2HBNrn9ENdPu9RiREiH65ggCk   108.61.199.180:9999 1447605630  2182103 1447538740",
1447538740 is the last paid timestamp and it decodes as "Sat, 14 Nov 2015 22:05:40 GMT" (it's block 369877 or something like that) but there're no any payments for Xccqh1yAg2HBNrn9ENdPu9RiREiH65ggCk. The last payment is 2015-11-09 08:27:39 as you noticed. WTF?

UPD
TanteStefana2, thanks. I don't see any budget blocks in the last 24h on dashninja.pl.

main.cpp
Code:
       nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
        if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 25;
        if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5;
Code:
       // yearly decline of production by 7.1% per year, projected 21.3M coins max by year 2050.
        for(int i = 210240; i <= nHeight; i += 210240) nSubsidy -= nSubsidy/14;
The min reward is 5, annual decline is by 1/14 (mult. by 13/14) and we have 210240 blocks / year.
The current supply is 6kk and we had one annual decline so the min reward is 5*13/14 atm.
That gives 5*13/14 * 210240 = 976114 new coins per year. Annual decline yields infinite geometric serie and we got approx 976114 * 1/(1-13/14) = 13.6kk additional coins. Add the current supply = 6kk and that result in ~20kk total coins.
That's about minimum possible supply that doesn't depend on hashrate (I believe the maximum is five times more). There are super blocks now but it was said that they fit in supply, right?

What did I miss? How do the total supply can be less than 20kk?

Well, at least you've counted the emission from launch until now twice. 13.6 is the total for the entire series, so the 6.6 (or at least the part of it that was created according to the current formula) is already included
No, I didn't.
13.6 is the total for the serie from the first decline (when reward become 5*13/14) till infinity (not till 2050 because we used to say "total supply").
I can't count the emission when there were bugs. That's why I counted total supply as current emission (6kk) + supply from the first decline till infinity. So only the part of this year from decline till now was counted twice and that's 0.7kk approx (min).

P.S. "// yearly decline of production by 7.1% per year, projected 21.3M coins max by year 2050." - here goes "max" Huh

Currently the true ROI is about 14%:

(blocks per day * avg reward * mn share / masternodes * days) = (reward at the end of the year)
576*6*.5/3270*365  = 192.88 DASH (19.2% of 1000 DASH)

Let's say a server costs $10 a month, so true ROI is about 144 DASH per year (14.4% of 1000 DASH).

---

What happens if we cut it in half?

The collateral gets halved
The reward gets halved
Expenses remain the same
Overall return goes down
Node count should nearly double (slightly lower because of the reduced reward)

(blocks per day * avg reward * mn share / masternodes * days) = (reward at the end of the year)
576*6*.5/6490*365  = 97 DASH  (19.6% of 500 DASH)
 ( notice it's not double 3270, that would be 6540... it's lower)

Let's say a server costs $10 a month, so true ROI is about 49.18 DASH per year (14.6% of 500 DASH)

All things being equal, it's just supply and demand working themselves out in something like a bond market. The market demands a return on average currently of about 14% after expenses, the idea is it carries over no matter what collateral is required. Nodes that are allocated before should be allocated after, even if the user decides he doesn't want to do it, that would raise the ROI on the market, which would drive people to setup more nodes, getting us back to where we're at now.

That help? It's a tad confusing

Thread looks like not all agree.
Why not to use decentralised voting to figure out the opinion of the community at this time?

in last version, my 4 MN didnt had any problems with crashing or stopping

my servers have 768 MB of RAM, is it possible that you guys using less RAM for MN, and that could cause problem?
I have 512mb on one of my hdd server with full bitcoin-core running beside and 10gb swap and surprisingly it works well and payments are stable.

Ooh, that was the very date when I first bought DRKs. And that spike to 20ksats was caused partially (or mainly) by my impatient order.

- When you restart your masternode with either "masternode start" or "masternode start-many" or "masternode start-alias" command, you are forced to the back of the queue.
Please remind, what for?
Let me correct this ^^^^^ Smiley
Daemon restart is ok.
Ok, I meant it. The question is still actual. Is there any kind of exploit that fixed with that measure?

If a restart put you in front or even the middle of the line, then someone could just restart constantly to get extra payments.
I believe on v11 it puts me exactly in the same place in queue as before and the only way to miss the payment is to be offline just when the payment occurs.
For now, if there're paymets every 5 days and you run your node for 4d 22h and then go offline for an hour and restart, you'll miss your payment and will wait another 5 days.
So the original question was - has it technical background or is it a trying to achieve 100% uptime of mn network?

One of my buddies just told me he got 2 MN payments in one day Smiley

He is on v11

3,2 and 2,5 DASH
Two payments within 5 hours - 4,17 and 4,64. Remembered me about old times without enforcement. One day I got 5 payments in a row.

I played with my vps two days ago and my mn was offline for an hour and dropped from the list - I started it again. Then my hoster rebooted my vps and my mn was offline for 10 hours last night. Surprisingly I got a payment today when it was expected (without taking offline periods in account). I thought I will stand in a queue from the end, isn't it?
