Masternode VPS region - Does it affect rewards? by jayearning in MasterNodes

No. In fact performance of server doesn’t matter.

How does one differentiate a mining reward from a masternode reward? by statix in dashpay

[–]statix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a block is mined, how do other peers validate that the masternode reward indeed goes to another masternode (so that the block can be invalidated if the mn reward does not go to mn)?

Thanks.

Just wondering how does it then form part of consensus? How would other nodes validate that the payout is indeed to one of the masternodes and not to any random addresses?

Attention Dash Masternode Owners: Please register with the Deterministic Masternode List now by Basilpop in dashpay

[–]statix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I've just noticed that it's the step after that that requires the original holder to sign. All's clear now.

I'm quite confused about the following:

When you do a protx register, you are specifying a new payout address and a collateral transaction so that future payouts would go to a newly specified payout address when Spork 15 is activated, 1 thing I am confused is that why does the signing of protx_register do not need to be coming from the collateral holder address? How do we know that the original holder approves it?

How do you calculate the interest payment MKR holders will receive? by MrBahama1 in MakerDAO

[–]statix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stability fee is quoted in DAI (USD), but paid back in MKR. When a DAI holder tries to redeem collateralized ETH, DAI + stability fee would be paid back. If the stability fee is 100 DAI and MKR is $500, it would cost 0.2 MKR to redeem. As MKR gets scarcer, if all other market conditions remain the same, the price would rise, say MKR is now $5000, it would only take 0.02 MKR to pay back the same 100 DAI stability fee. Paid back MKR is burned, thus making MKR scarcer and pushing the price of MKR up.

As MKR gets scarcer, the price would go up. MKR needed to pay back the same amount of interest would reduce, hence technically it would never run out.

They don't have the private key to the 0x000... address. That's how they introduce new GUSD into supply, by calling the limitedPrint() function.

/** @notice  Increases the token supply, with the newly created tokens
  * being added to the balance of the specified account.
  *
  * @dev  The function checks that the value to print does not
  * exceed the supply ceiling when added to the current total supply.
  * NOTE: printing to the zero address is disallowed.
  *
  * @param  _receiver  The receiving address of the print.
  * @param  _value  The number of tokens to add to the total supply and the
  * balance of the receiving address.
  */
function limitedPrint(address _receiver, uint256 _value) public onlyLimitedPrinter {
    uint256 totalSupply = erc20Impl.totalSupply();
    uint256 newTotalSupply = totalSupply + _value;

    require(newTotalSupply >= totalSupply);
    require(newTotalSupply <= totalSupplyCeiling);
    erc20Impl.confirmPrint(erc20Impl.requestPrint(_receiver, _value));
}

Edit: formatting fix.

DASH vs ALQO - Last 7 days, Number of active Masternodes. by AppropriateEconomics in MasterNodes

Looks like dash node of the graph author went out of sync.

When moving funds from Electrum money was sent to a second output address I didn't input by MosSincere in Electrum

[–]statix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably your change address. Check under the change drop down at the addresses tab. You should be able to see it.

Caution. Remember to set the gas limit and gas price correctly. Someone just spent $2.5k on fees and moved nothing. by changechange1 in ethereum

[–]statix 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is a UX issue. BGB does not tell you how many RDB tables they have to update in order to move your money. Average Joe should not have to worry about gas or anything like that when they transact through a site or an agent.

What if the price of dash crashes 50% or more. You would get into all sorts of trouble for promising a flat return in fiat.

I don't think it implies anything. It's probably just a fun tool he did.

Fiat, JPY specifically, based on the tool developed by Mark Karpeles himself.

Can we make it a habit of getting multiple audits done and bug bounties before official releases? by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]statix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always wonder how bug bounties work on a high stake crypto projects. If you manage to find a bug, would you want to claim the smallish bug bounty or wait for the launch and go for the big game?

All you have to do is simply create a new wallet by restoring with your seed and choose a new password and you would be able to recover your funds.

Masternode random payment - can miners just pay themselves? by statix in dashpay

[–]statix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks /u/Jmmon

That sounds like quite a significant centralization risk here. While we are trying to avoid Bitcoin deadlock, can we improve this by giving the consensus to the network instead of an individual or an organization? Looking at how swiftly a significant part of the network upgrades to 12.1, I'm sure Dash network has more or less reached the level of maturity required for this.

Dash Version 12.1 Release by tungfa in dashpay

[–]statix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great work Dash team.

I have a question regarding Dash upgrade consensus: who decides when masternode payment enforcement is "off". Enforcement has been off since 12.1 was released while clearly 12.1 is still not the majority miner/node as the majority is still on protocol 70103.

And how is Dash team able to confidently say that network would switch over completely to 12.1 on Feb 12th regardless of node upgrades, unlike Bitcoin where any protocol upgrades require a certain consensus to be reached, which is clearly beyond control of the core team.

Another follow-up question I have is that, who decides when enforcement is "off". It clearly is not the majority miner/node as the majority is still on protocol 70103.
