-----------------------------

In Dash we have used lower thresholds (80% vs 95% in BTC) to activate upgrades

upgrades occurring too quickly and potentially introducing network instability. This version
|

implements BIP9-like dynamic activation thresholds which drop from some initial

level to a minimally acceptable one over time at an increasing rate. This provides
|
||||
a safe non-blocking way of activating proposals.
|
||||
|
||||
This mechanism applies to the Block Reward Reallocation proposal mentioned above
|

for which the threshold will begin at an 80% level and decay down to 60% over the

Concentrated Recovery
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
In the current system, signature shares are propagated to all LLMQ members
|
||||
until one of them has collected enough shares to recover the signature. Until
|
||||
this recovered signature is propagated in the LLMQ, all members will keep
|
||||
propagating shares and verifying each one. This causes significant load on the
|
||||
LLMQ, resulting in decreased throughput, which will be avoided with the new system.

members keep propagating and verifying each share until this recovered signature

is propagated in the LLMQ. This causes significant load on the LLMQ and results
|

in decreased throughput.
|
||||
|
||||
This new system initially sends all shares to a single deterministically selected node,
|
||||
so that this node can recover the signature and propagate the recovered signature.
|
||||
This way only the recovered signature needs to be propagated and verified by all
|
||||
members. Each member, after sending their share to this node, waits for some
|
||||
members. After sending their share to this node, each member waits for a
|
||||
timeout and then sends their share to another deterministically selected member.
|
||||
This process is repeated until a recovered signature is finally created and propagated.
|
||||
|
||||
This timeout begins at two seconds and increases exponentially up to ten seconds
|
||||
(ie. `2,4,8,10,10`) for each node that times out. This is in order to minimize the time

taken to generate a signature in the case that the recovery node is down, while also

(i.e. `2,4,8,10,10`) for each node that times out. This is to minimize the time

taken to generate a signature if the recovery node is down, while also
|

minimizing the traffic generated when the network is under stress.

Increased number of masternode connections
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
To implement "Concentrated Recovery", it is now required that all members of a LLMQ
|
||||
connect to all other members of the same LLMQ. This significantly increases general
|
||||
connection count for masternodes. These intra-quorum connections are less resource
|
||||
demanding than normal p2p connections as they only exchange LLMQ/masternode related
|
||||
messages, but the hardware and network requirements will still be higher than before.
