Hey guys ... Im running Dash node on testnet and it takes ages to synchronize for some reason .... it doesnt stop but it downloads 1 block per hour or so...what could be a problem ?

I agree, most of this is due to people not upgrading, but that doesn't mean all of it.

1. I'm not Joel.
2. I have only posted news articles and upates.
3. Having trolls send you private messages to gloat sums up the true motivation behind this.

It's a sad day when moderators take the side of trolls.

I would like to refer mprep to *Rule 3* of the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

3. No trolling.

If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited.

Dash is based on an outdated fork that is several years behind the current Bitcoin 14.x release.

Dash [...] has managed to break IPv6 functionality.

I hope that price of DASH will go to 0.0001 BTC, so I can buy myself a masternode or two just for fun, to play around with the software and setting it up.  

Hey,

I can't download CPU miner from the main page of that thread. Can anyone help me pls?

Thx!

Current approximate numbers were given some weeks ago by Otoh himself and Babygiraffe in the Dash Nation Slack. They were clearly lower than TheTrollGuy's made-up allegations, notably Otoh's: 100 to 130 MNs if I remember correctly.

Otoh sold a lot of MNs lately, OTC of course. And no price crash, because “Every MN sold is an MN bought” (avidly).

Anyway, personally I would not give a flying fuck if Otoh had 400+ masternodes. Wishing the best for him and other whales who were smart enough to invest early in Dash. The results are here.

I used to own 420 masternodes but that was ages ago, it is super easy to track and I am totally open about it as well, I now own just 76 masternodes which is 1.72% of them or 1.069% of all DASH, plus 9 masternodes that I hold for friends (soon to be 10). I am not part of some cabal, I voted against some of Evan´s proposals when I had more masternodes and hardy voted for or against anything as ppl can see, anyway they have now been mostly distributed to a much wider ownership base, all of whom are vastly in profit btw, do try and get your facts right, check here to see how many I have anytime in future: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/wallet.dws?188207.htm (my previous #1 addie). I have had overwhelming requests recently for OTC sales, but now being very well hedged I rejected them, I imagine they are now going to buy on the exchanges, some are wanting up to $12k per week, others straight in with $0.5MM & a regular buyer wants $1MM plus again, maybe I sold a few too many but if DASH does as I expect it will then I will be perfectly all right with my present holdings and rewards.

AikaPool updated to v12.1!  https://aikapool.com/dash

Thats what I did, I have deleted ALL the .dat files (except wallet.dat) and I still get the same error again and again.
"Failed to load masternode cache from mncache.dat"

Friendly reminder for newcomers:

Icy is our pet troll. He is noisy and he shits around here all the time, but he is absolutely harmless (and he keeps the thread bumped).

So please be kind and respectful with our local wildlife.  

thank you very much for your explanation! so basically the hardware wallet works in the same way for Dash as it works for Btc?

How many masternodes are active atm?

[...]

qwizzie.  forget it.  wasting your time.  lets get on to discussing budget proposals...

[...]
Bitcoin is undergoing rapid evolution and Dash isn't keeping up, as it lacks nifty modern features like CLTV/CTV, RBF/CPFP, SEGWIT, etc.

This is very cool, and I just installed it on my laptop as I always launch it via terminal normally, but I thought I'd get with the program (and try the PPA out).  I'm wondering if this is in fact a safer way to install the Dash wallet?  Or can this PPA be hacked easier than the git or website download?  Just wondering, as we can't check the hash this way??

So from root you just use those commands and the wallet will build?
I'll give it a go!   Thanks

Edit: Tried your command and i seem to be getting much more compiled then with the previous commands used, but still doesn't work
