When you run the update your MN will go to the back of the queue.  That's why the advice is to update only after your masternode has been paid:

I'm only still here because Icey makes me laugh  . Dash Nation is much better!

Really?  Yet Dash has the lowest circulating supply of any coin in the top 15, with the exception of Bitconnect.  So what you're saying is that the instamine artificially inflated the value of Dash?  That's funny because three years later I'd have expected the markets to determine the value of Dash.  Oh wait, they do

What's this Icey?  Poacher turned gamekeeper? 

I have the same question.  Posting so I'll see replies.

Why the fuck would Dash want Segwit?  Dash is implementing on-chain scaling, in line with Satoshi's original vision.  With on-chain scaling there's no need for some crappy half-assed fudge like Segwit.

I find it rather amusing how Icey keeps deleting his post to post it at the top of the next page.  We have to give him points for creativity.  Not many points though because he clearly lacks the creativity to create a new post each time 


Oh look, I can do it too 

Coins with no long-term development roadmap, no self-funding, no governance and no real scaling solution have "a bit more of a success rate in the long term" than a coin that has all of that, including some 50 developers on payroll and $2.5 million monthly budget?  Hmm, if you think so.... but it might be helpful if you'd explain why you think that?

I foresee some excitement and a strong rise to coincide with the Alt36 launch event next month, if not sooner.  I still think $500 is in the bag and $1000 more than possible before the end of this year 

A masternode requires 1,000 Dash collateral.  With Dash currently at $336 USD that would indeed cost you around $336,000.

This time last year it would have cost around $9,000 at $9 per Dash.  You snooze, you lose.


LOL iCEBREAKER 

There isn't going to be a fork.  The screenshot shows that testnet is being forked, which is the testing environment only.  What's more it explains that the purpose of forking testnet is to test the next release of the Dash Core wallet, v.12.2.  Once the testing is complete, the network will simply upgrade, which is really easy and can now be done very smoothly thanks to sporks and Sentinel.

So hopefully you can understand why your post appeared alarmist.  Dash is not forking, there will not be two chains, there will not be any such thing as "classic dash".  Indeed Dash's governance model enables any disagreements to be resolved quickly and peacefully, eliminating any likelihood of a Bitcoin Cash type fork in the future.  Dash is unified and will remain so.  The screenshot simply shows progress towards the next Dash upgrade and the first step on the Evolution roadmap.

Yeah, most of the discussion happens on the Dash slack, not here.

It's only Monero people who ever bring up Monero in this thread, and then claim there's some kind of competition.  Comparing Dash and Monero nowadays is like comparing an iPhone and a paperclip.  Sure, if you want to hold documents together you're better choosing the paperclip, but then declaring the iPhone inferior because your papers fell on the floor just makes you look stupid.

Oh that's so cute!!  Look, Dash was only $25 at the time of that little thread of yours    Perhaps we should all be thanking you for the part you played in Dash's meteoric rise (currently $340).  Your linking to that thread again now seems like a very bullish indicator.  Thanks Arielbit, things are about to get very exciting for Dash!!

I really don't understand why people keep claiming that Dash isn't private or "isn't as private as XY coin".  Dash's privacy so far has not been broken.  What better can you ask for??  No, PrivateSend isn't compulsory and, quite frankly, if it were, Dash would suddenly render itself useless to many real world transactions where users actually want or need to prove their transactions.  Fully private/hidden/buried/appearing only as a dream is great for some users, but that's one use-case that only appeals to one subset of users.  By having optional privacy, Dash is useful for SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!  Not to mention that the Dash blockchain is fully auditable, which is essential for long term value and large scale adoption.  A currency built on a non-transparent blockchain is, in monetary terms, equivalent to magic beans.

Maybe some people don't like how Dash does privacy.  That's fine, go use some other coin.  Choice is a wonderful thing.  But please stop saying Dash isn't private or has weak privacy, unless you can fucking prove it.  Mathematically and empirically, not anecdotally or hypothetically.

I don't know whether I can explain it on the level that you're looking for, but I'll share what I know.  The miners and masternodes each get their 45% of the block reward with the creation of each block, as you'd expect, but the 10% for the treasury is not created at that time.  Meanwhile, proposals for funding are submitted, as can be seen at http://dashcentral.org/ and are voted on by the masternodes.  Everything that requires funding, including proposals by the core team and developers salaries, must be submitted before the end of the cycle so that the masternodes can vote.  Then, approximately once every 28 days (there is a formula for the periodicity but it's quite complex), a superblock is mined with the sole purpose of paying out the funds to those proposals which passed the MN vote, from the 10% share of block rewards that was withheld for the treasury.  The winning proposals are funded directly and automatically from the superblock, so they receive freshly minted coins and there is no middle-man trusted to hand out the funds.  Any unallocated part of the treasury funds is just not created.

It was the Beijing conference that was cancelled due to the China stuff but that has now been rescheduled and will take place in Hong Kong.

September 24th is the first ever dedicated Dash conference in London, and this one has never been in jeopardy.  It's going to be good!  You can see the agenda here https://dash.keynote.ae/agenda/

LOL Icey, yes, it's true!  Dash is fixing a bug while LTC is deliberately installing bugs 

It got DDOS'ed and is having to change provider.  It will be back 

That is correct, of course, but you should credit the article you've copied and pasted that from:
