Dashcentral down?

@qwizzie no problem Smiley But JFI what command do you use to mass-restart disabled nodes?

Cheers Wink

i still do it the hard way, one by one  Sad

I think that it's better. I just lost a lot of queues due to mass restart Sad

Hope to get some feedbacks

masternode start-missing
^^ Will only remote-start masternodes where the status is MISSING.

lol @ the insane NEM pump thats going on.

Imagine if Dash was getting those kinds of volumes again - we would be seeing $30-40+ a coin

I suspect the rise is due in part to news of real-world use of the NEM blockchain. http://www.econotimes.com/Metro-Money-Exchange-selects-Dragonfly-Fintech-for-blockchain-based-payment-solution-224511

When Dash gets used to solve real-world problems, the volume changes will be fun to watch.

I need some help voting. I unlocked my wallet, then voted on an initiative using the debug console, but it says it did not vote succesfully:

Quote
18:27:34  mnbudget vote-many c80cec05f8100a9a2fc808c22b0d464fafd32cc27f35a5ffe61c395b701b92a3 yes


18:27:34 {
    "overall" : "Voted successfully 0 time(s) and failed 0 time(s).",
    "detail" : {
    }
}

I voted directly from my master node. What am I doing wrong?


Try closing your wallet and delete budget.dat. Open the wallet and let it fully synch with the network.

Is it me or is Node 40 down?

https://node40.com/

It's been down for at least 4 hours, maybe more like 6, I've just emailed Perry but it's Saturday night 1 AM in NY.

Edit: & Holger has now pinged him on Slack as well.

Sorry for the service interruption. We were tightening security policies on the network segment that hosts the public facing site and locked things down too much. Masternodes were never affected.

Anyone else experiencing stability issues with their masternodes at the moment? Mine have been bulletproof for months but the last couple of weeks I'm constantly restarting them etc. I haven't made any changes to the underlying system. Has something on the network changed?

Walter
Quite possibly. I had a reliable masternode (16+ weeks of uptime) go down twice in one day, which is very unusual. I reviewed my firewall settings and realized I was not filtering some incoming traffic properly. There could be malicious users out there trying to bang on masternode IPs, looking for exploits. So I would recommend closing all the ports you don't need.  

That's a good point...

It's quite likely that someone is scanning masternode IP's, then searching each server for open ports.

If someone found open ports, they might be trying to brute force crack your password, which could look like a DDOS attack, slowing your server, possibly crashing the masternode...

How much ram does your masternode have available? The budget system is being used pretty actively, that could possibly be taking up more memory.

I'll check on the ram thing. I created a large 2Gb swap file around 10 months ago on my servers as I only had around 768Mb RAM and running 3 MNs on each server. Might be causing the problem..

Walter

Thanks for your help guys. Masternodes are stable now apart from one last issue... One of them keeps going offline but the daemon continues to run fine, I do a remote masternode start-alias from my cold wallet and that fixes it for a couple of hours (don't need to do anything with the daemon on the server). Then it drops off again an hour or two later. It's persistantly happening with one masternode. All others are running fine now. Any ideas?


Cheers

Walter

What does the daemon report when you run
Code:
dash-cli masternode status

I'm guessing it is waiting for a remote start. If you do not see "status" : "Masternode successfully started" then you should connect directly to your masternode from your local wallet and issue start-alias.

Yesterday Cryptsy processed two of my withdrawals, for 0.77805570 BTC & 100 Dash  Shocked  there are other older ones still pending and I've no idea what they are doing, I doubt that they do either, but anyway a few more hundred dollars out is good and helps to confirm that they are trying to return funds rather than just run with everything Undecided

They continue to ignore my support emails Sad

Cryptsy refuses to release my Dash. My withdrawl has been pending for 48 days and I haven't had a response from support in over 8 days. Nice to see that others are getting their assets out, but I'm having zero luck with them.

You have any thoughts on the massive volume on the none commission chinese exchanges, fake liquidity- little/some/alot ?!

Haven't seen that. When I watch the trading it seems genuine - lots of trades rather than just a few very big ones, but I didn't know anything about this "no-fees" stuff.

btw, anyone knows why DASH isn't mentioned at bitcoinwisdom?  Huh

Yeah, I just clocked that yesterday. Strange.

I emailed bitcoinwisdom and posted in their thread asking for them to at least add the cryptsy link or create a poloniex chart after bitfinex Dash went away. I never heard anything back unfortunately.

I gave up on bitcoinwisdom a while back and have been happy with Cryptowatch. https://cryptowat.ch/poloniex/dashbtc

...

The whole idea behind the Virtual Corporation is that anyone can step up to the plate and work for it, if accepted by the voters.

And I must suggest strongly, that anyone wanting to do a proposal, think months in advance, start a discussion on it (preferably on Dashwhale).  You need time to gain the approval of such a diverse group of voters.  The community needs time to digest your proposal, make suggestions, and for you to implement those suggestions.  In a very real way, the forum thread that contains your proposal is your contract with the Dash Virtual Corporation.  These proposals have been coming out so loosely, mostly things that Evan says he'd like us to do, and we just do it.  Eventually, proposals should come from anyone, and they should be formalized in a thread, with final specifications and a time table.  The community should keep them honest and raise the red flag if something is going wrong, so the MN can vote down the proposal and stop the funding on solid grounds.  

Don't get me wrong, we Know our current core team are keeping tight watch on all funds they spend, and they're a small group doing so many things, but plan on putting that ledger out for public view.  But that's not how a decentralized system should work, (relying on one person to tell us what to fund and do) and we need to start setting up some rules/traditions.  IMO Smiley

Look what happened to DashWhale's proposal.  The implimented Evan's vision of a place where we can manage Dash voting, and a forum for proposals.  However, Evan never formally Green lighted the project, I suspect because he doesn't want to be the almighty dictator and to let MN voters do the right thing.  And MN voters won't support it, with many saying the reason was that Evan didn't say they should.  We all (community and MN voters) need to grow up and make the decisions that are right for Dash.  Will others that start projects, hoping to show they can do it prior to asking for funding, now stop because it looks very much like they can't win approval?  A project that's already obviously had a TON of work put into it for the benefit of the Dash Virtual Corporation, can't even get funding boggles my mind.

Otherwise it's been going very well Smiley

This hits the nail on the head, TanteStefana2.  Wink

Fully agree astonished to see the  dashwale proposal not getting enough yes votes

Nothing astonishing about that. People vote what they think is good for DASH as a currency. Whoever is using dashwhale can donate money if they want. So if we support dashwhale and next day node40 implements excatly same features, will we fund node40 as well?  I am actually happy, dashwhale proposal was not passed. While it may seem donations is the only way to generate money, but its not true. Dashwhale stands at a unique oppurtinity to broaden service and become like a dash hub. The design is perfect and simple, hence it can expand. Perhaps a) Link dash price graphs b) Dash price graph linked with an exchange which in fact would promote people using that exchange (share fee, referral bonus?) c) add a proper merchant directory (referal bonus?) d) Collaborate with Node40 e) Be a node40 competition and if connected with an exchange just transfer MN earnings straight to the exchange account f) Add a news tab for all the relevant articles g) Perhaps online wallet... ETC... dashwhale can be a dash hub. With all do respect, the dashtalk design is not nice, while Dashwhale is sexy...

Funny you should mention us (Node40) in regards to budget proposals. We just released a first iteration of our Budget Proposals page. We don't currently support push-button voting for people who aren't hosting with Node40, but it is in the works.

Yes I will wait that stuff is beyond me right now.  I am going to focus on acquiring 10k DASH before year end. Then I will dive into masternodes. I know a good vision when I see one. This coin is gold IMO.

If you want to get your first 1,000 Dash into a masternode in a matter of minutes, check out https://node40.com

The Dash stays in your wallet. We commission, manage and monitor the masternode server for you. You sit back and watch the rewards come directly to your wallet.

ok. Time to upgrade. Unfortunately I have spent too much time on monetary topics on these forums and none on technical ones but I kind of noticed some posts flying past about v12 stuff which made me think that this upgrade might have banana skins.

Is there anything different from what I usually do ?

[1] - DOWNLOAD:

wget  https://www.dashpay.io/binaries/dash-0.12.0.47-linux64.tar.gz

[2] - EXPAND:

tar xfvz dash-0.12.0.47-linux64.tar.gz

[3] - GRAVITATE

cd dash-0.12.0.47-linux64/bin/64

[4] - OWN

chmod +x dashd

[5] - MOVE

mv -i dashd /usr/bin/dashd

[6] - LAUNCH

dashd

Is that it ? Do I need to change any of this ?

EDIT 1: Well I already noticed 1 difference. The "Gravitate" phase is now "cd dash-0.12.0/bin" since each client now has its own unique package so we don't need the /64 anymore. Is that it ?



If you are moving from v11 to v12, don't forget to reindex.

dashd --reindex

You should also install the dash-cli.

How do I get reward for running a node?
It goes to your masternode address as a default OR if forwarded as a donation goes to the address you point.

Hey, I watched your link... can't understand what exactly is.
And... where do I find the software to set up a node?

If you have 1,000 Dash, the easiest way to setup a node is through Node40. https://node40.com

After logging in select Masternodes => Setup Wizard. There are a few videos on the site that will show you how it works. And if you have any questions, there are real people behind Node40 who can help you out.

Well, yes, it is very easy to do, but some people are really afraid of computers, and don't find anything about it easy....

However, there are MN management services.  The biggest one now is Node40, but also some of the developers and forum members like flair provide services.  You don't even have to risk your coins if you have the entire 1000 coins available....

Thanks for the plug Tante. Some of our customers actually have the technical knowledge, but they have 5+ masternodes and don't want to manage them. It can take some time (a commodity).

It's like this. I have a house that needs a new roof. I did some roofing back in college, so I know how to do it myself. But, there are professional roofers out there who can get the job done leaving me to concentrate on what I'm good at... typing away on a computer to produce applications. It's not that I'm lazy, it just makes more sense for me to concentrate on my core competencies.

Today I Interview the team behind automated Dash Masternode setup service Node40.

At the moment there are about 2600 Active Masternodes. The goal is to make it to 3000 to secure the network even further. But there's a learning curve when setting up a Masternode for the first time. There's a lot of money involved so one little thing goes wrong and your kind of screwed. In addition to that it takes a lot of effort to ensure your Masternode stays online and operational.

That's where Node40 comes in. They make the process simple, secure, and easy for customers to monitor the status of their Masternodes.

is the dashninja site offline ?
also crowning's Masternode Payments site shows Payment Enforcement Status: 'On' since 2015-05-19-01:35:01 .. appearently MN payment enforcement was off and put back on today ?  

Yes, dashninja appears to be having a server issue, he posted about it on DashTalk https://dashtalk.org/threads/dashninja-pl-dash-masternode-ninja-free-masternode-monitoring.2722/page-6#post-54416

Is anybody looking for a MN Partner ?  Huh

 Splawik21 is always looking. He's the rock 'n roll star of pooled MN's. You can also check out Node40.com - great hosting service, but have no clue if their pooled node is already working or not.

We (Node40.com) almost always have space available in a pool. We run a number of Node40 MNs that we can turn into a pool at a moments notice.

Splawik21 is awesome, so no hard feelings if you go there instead.  Grin

I'm sure we'll be making a lot of history along our journey!

Glad to see the DGBB's been passed. Now to see how it works in practice, and make adjustments if need be.

What about starting off with 100% Yea? giving people 2 weeks to vote Nay and if its still over 51% at end,then the vote passes.
This would do away with some of the apathy and inspire people to turn up for the ballet.
(even organ donation in some countries is presumed yes unless you have a card saying keep off)


''Distributed systems is kind of like economics: everyone thinks they are qualified because they once ran a remote process.''
~~Emin Gün Sirer~~ (Cornell University, Professor of computing)

I think that would be onerous once we've got multiple projects to vote for. I really only want to vote for projects that I think will benefit DASH. I don't want the burden of voting NAY for projects that either a) don't benefit DASH, or b) I can't understand.

I get this from a daemon updated an synced for a couple of hours:

NAY - 1
YEA - 47
ABSTAIN - 2452

I'm on v23 but it's a normal daemon. Does it need to be a masternode (hot/cold) wallet to get the correct results?

I was getting weird results on one of my daemons, then I restarted it and get:

./dashd masternode list votes YEA | wc -l
664

./dashd masternode list votes NAY | wc -l
16

./dashd masternode list votes ABS | wc -l
1834

Maybe there's a bug? Try restarting your client and see if it shows the correct votes

My YEA count is at 660 and ABSTAIN is at 1831 at block 264992.

I have also noticed that the YEA count will occasionally decrease. Why would that happen? I've seen it a few times now.
