i have a dream !! and it involves that ship, and the smaller one too  
talking about ships, anyone noticed The Last Ship (tv show) has started again with its second season?
was a rather good episode.

Thanks for the heads up on the new episodes.
I like the premise and enjoyed the 1st season, but the show did seem like an ad for the Navy at times.
The Underworld chick is good and Adam Baldwin is funny even though it's supposed to be a serious role (he was awesome in Firefly).

F'king amazing 

All the more reason to use an external device to store your private key/seed and sign transactions (or start masternodes  ).  With something like the Ledger/HW.1 or Trezor, the attacker would only be able to do this kind of power analysis from direct USB port contact.

Hi !

Can someone tell me how much a masternode earns per month?

They get 20% of the block reward right? Where can I find the number of masternodes? then I can calculate it myself

Have some dash in my wallet for some time now, I think I should really set up some masternodes ..

thanks

Estimated Payment per Masternode: 0.59 DASH / day x 30 = 17.7 per Month
Current Number of Masternodes: 2622 (unique IPs: 2454)

They get 45%. The amount varies, but I've built a spreadsheet for calculating the minimums you might expect:

also, this page stays up to date with the network and calcs against his rewards:

The first project Self-sustainable Decentralized Governance by Blockchain funds should be implementing Compact Confidential Transactions into DASH.

EDIT: if the CCT is fixable that is.

..."There seems no point of adding more altcoins to the table, the opinion has been shared widely before Maxwell demonstrated his opinions. However, there are still many who are actually working towards the overall development of the cryptocurrency sector. For instance: Dash, aka Darkcoin, has literally improved privacy quo by introducing transaction obfuscation features, a thing that Maxwell himself discussed during his Sidechain Elements presentation."

Not replace, but to complement it, and make it stronger. CT and CCT hides the transaction amounts, so you could mix without uniform denominations. It would also help dealing with change. I'm sure Evan, Udjin, et al would come up with clever ways to use it in the mixing.

With the expression of this view, Maxwell appears to be at once a cryptographical genius and a philosophical illiterate.

And most of all, [it has confused] our message to the public (regarding bitcoin’s ability to store value, as the unique Internet money).

It doesn't appear to occur to him that it is the very same public he's trying to convince that has created the altcoin environment. There is no confusion. The "message" has been received loud and clear.

It's just that the message of "bitcoin the technology" is not necessarily the same as the message of "bitcoin, the core developer".

"Peter Wuille, one of the Bitcoin Core Developers, also proposed the idea to combine Confidential Transaction feature with CoinJoin, an anonymization method that combines two payment transactions and making it a one Bitcoin transaction. The method obfuscates the direction, as there is no way to relate the input and output of a transaction. Dash’s DarkPay also uses a similar method".
