MooCowMoo, is that all that is required for the mastwernodes to update to 12.1 or are there configuration changes needed as well?
Just update the clients and issue the
Code:
masternode start-missing
command?

Hi 110110101,

For the local side, yes. That's all it'll take.

For the remote side, it'll be *slightly* more involved.  Instructions being written/dashman being patched right now..

Solar, I don't mind you having an opinion, but I do take issue when you post assumptions as fact.

If blocks do get full, InstantX transactions will start to be unlocked.

100% completely and utterly false. IX locks are mempool entries same as transactions.  They don't get flushed until the transaction gets written into a block, regardless of how many blocks that takes.

And, your disappointment is simply impatience.  The very last sentence of the proposal states:

If approved, a proper development, testing and deployment process would start before it reaches production. Let’s give Dash room to grow.

The process is already happening, there's just no need to implement it anytime soon.

i would like to set up a mosternode too. i almost started. but then i read that you need 1000 dash. we do you need 1000 dash to have a masternode? can somebody explain this to me in plain english. thank you.

Calculating the chances of successfully spying on private send mixing, you would need far more than 50% of masternodes to hope to follow anything, especially at 8 rounds.  I don't believe any one entity has more than 400 masternodes, but I can't prove anything.  Even they can't follow 4-8 rounds of mixing (probably have no chance of following 2 rounds).

There is a chart somewhere that shows the % of Masternodes you would need to control to get a % chance at deanonymizing a private send.  It's a bit old, it stops at 4000 masternodes, LOL, which we now have 4200+ but still, it shows how fruitless it is to try, and it would be a waste of money and resources for any large nefarious group to try.


now we can build new charts. Smiley

thanks for the answer. and yes i can't afford 1000 dash at the current price..... so i have to find an other coin to play with.

You can always put your dash to work earning about 8% per year.

Can I have a masternode with a dynamic ip address?

No. The network start signal binds the masternode to an ip address. 

Moving your ip, would require re-announcing (start) your new ip to the network, which would reset your place in the payment queue.

Static ip is really the only way to go.

Hello people,

I am studying to put online 1 or 2 masternode in VPS server with Windows s.o.

I have looked at this link:
http://Https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/Simple+MN+on+a+Windows+machine

Can this configuration work well?


Yes. At least until the next version is released.

And after that this version be released?
It's in February, right?
What do we have to do?


Simply update the wallets on both sides (local/remote. service providers do the remote side for you), launch, wait for blockchain reindex. (an hour or three depending on hardware)

Once both wallets are up-to-date ('getinfo' will show the same block height), issue 'masternode start-missing' from the funded, local wallet.

Check the remote masternode(s) have started with (on the remote machine(s)) 'masternode debug'

Have a beer.

Yes. At least until the next version is released.

Can I have 2 masternodes with a single wallet?   Huh
I guess 2 address with 1000 dash,
Is that correct?

Yes. Correct  Wink

No, that's not correct.

The tutorial referenced is for a hot-masternode, local configuration, which would only have one ip address.

Each masternode needs its own ip address, so you're limited to one /for that setup/.

If you want to set up two masternodes, your second one will have to be on another ip address.

You can either setup your own remote vps instance:

https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/taos-masternode-setup-guide-for-dummies-updated.2680/

Or pay a masternode provider to do it for you:

Since we're cross-posting from slack...

This scammer warning I posted in slack applies less to forums, but may teach a newcomer a thing or two.

What I do want to share is how easy keybase.io makes verifying the authenticity of a message.

If you need to verify the identity of any Dash team member, just ask for a signature of some text and check it with keybase.

https://keybase.io is an awesome service!

the site dash.org does not work... pending to icann verification .
reason ?

Nothing evil.

Evan didn't see/click the contact validation email so the registrar automatically suspended the domain.

We'll get it back online once we get in touch with Evan, but it may be in the morning.

anyone using this service?
https://masternode.me/

is it trustable? i'm thinking about send 2 shares to test it.
i've started to buy some dash since the price droped from 0.02(because i believe it will go back) and maybe i should put my dash's to work Cheesy
It is 100% trustable. The admin is the core team member since very early begginings and is giving a lot of input in the project.

That's very nice of you to say, splawik21!  Thank you!

raphma, I do my best to keep everything transparent:


for more info, see: https://masternode.me/#shares

Email me at moocowmoo@masternode.me if you have any questions!

Can someone please explain what sporks are? Not just the soft-fork but how it relates to the masternodes. There seems to be no real information on the website?

https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=19169298



Interesting way of update, but wouldn't be better to try with the testnet first ?


The purpose of the spork is to be able to quickly roll back if something appears on mainnet we didn't find on testnet.

Total fud. I keep our software up to date.

Does anyone invest dash in a gambling site? I can't run a computer all day so can't do my own master node. Any other suggestions to grow my dash?
Forget gambling sites. You need a real game plan. A trustless game plan. Bite the bullet, get the remaining Dash, and then check out https://node40.com . It's a turnkey masternode service. Yes, it's getting serious up in here.

I hear there's another good service for masternode hosting.  https://masternode.me Wink

why can't I get my wallet to synch?

Dash Core version v0.12.0.58 (64-bit)

been stuck for 2 days now

stuck on 515095 and 11 days behind

Just under 1% of the time, wallets get stuck on superblocks (budget payouts).

Try:  Tools -> Wallet Repair -> Rebuild index

DASHtalk is down?





Network Error (tcp_error)

 
 A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"   
 The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.   

 For assistance, contact your network support team


Yeah, both our hosting and dns providers decided to have issues.  I'm on it, just stuck waiting for them to get their shit together.

Next month this won't be an issue.

Thank you. I was able to login now, only not to post (try later error).

Do your best Smiley

Fixed. The qhoster image restore left some corrupted tables.

Hey, there.

Is dash.org down? Or is it only for me?

Thanks

It is down here too.

There are some server issues at the moment, MooCowMoo is working on it.

I'm fighting with incompetence at the moment.  Took them 4.5 hours to get back to me with this:

Hello,
Seems the VPS was not migrated to our new servers. We are checking this for you.

Expect a few (hopefully less) more hours...

As John McAfee said during D10E - keyloggers are the achillies heel of current Crypto security. I'd put money on it being something along those lines...

&/or an insider, they used to boast about front running orders there ffs

True, good point. Getting close enough to the keys either virtually or in the physical world isn't going to be easy. An inside job would at least explain how somebody could get into a position where they can compromise the system.


I'm just guessing here, but best I can gather about the BitFinex attack:

- The multisig they used is 2 out of 3 -- one key in cold storage, one key in bitfinex exchange, one key in bitgo via api.
- The attacker apparently forged withdrawal requests through bitfinex, which were signed by bitgo automatically (as an authenticated request.)
- Supposedly there were limits in place on the bitgo side, but they either didn't work or were bypassed.

anybody ever see this error message on their masternodes

res_query.c:262: __libc_res_nquery: Assertion `(hp != ((void *)0)) && (hp2 != ((void *)0))' failed.

Tried updating node and still no success.

It's a dns lookup failure.
