Submissions to the network now require a fee to be paid to the network (mining fee) using a special transaction with a OP_RETURN && ProposalHash in one of the outputs. This allows the network to filter spam quickly, while also allowing anyone to submit a proposal to the network.
To implement these changes we've introduced a few new commands:
mnbudget prepare PROPOSAL-NAME URL PAYMENT_COUNT BLOCK_START DASH_ADDRESS DASH_AMOUNT YES|NO|ABSTAIN [USE_IX(TRUE|FALSE)]
- To create the special transaction
mnbudget submit PROPOSAL-NAME URL PAYMENT_COUNT BLOCK_START DASH_ADDRESS DASH_AMOUNT YES|NO|ABSTAIN FEE_TX
- After the transaction is accepted by the network and has 3 confirmations, you can submit the transaction to the network here
mnbudget show
- Get the proposal hash from here
mnbudget vote PROPOSAL-HASH YES|NO|ABSTAIN
- You can now simply vote by hash using this command
- With nodes coming and going on the network, the network could come to different opinions about who should get paid next in line due to some nodes being flagged as failing a PoSe check. This will have to be fixed by introducing a blockchain based PoSe system, but that's out of the scope of this release. To fix the issues in the interrim, I'm removing PoSe checks for the time being.
- Ensures ports remain open and client are responsive to IX requests.
- Completely 100% decentralized. This farms out the work of checking the masternode network to the masternode network. 1% of the network is determistically selected to check another 1% of the network each block. It takes six separate checks to deactivate a node, thus making it tamper proof.
- Nodes are kept in the masternode list if they fail enough PoSe checks to deactivate. They will continue to be checked until the operator fixes them. However they will not be paid while they're failing checks.
- call ProcessMessageMasternodePayments on ProcessBlock (lost after moving mnodeman functionality)
- do not process extra functionality messages (DS, IX, spork) on initial download / reindex
- Scan IX locks on new blocks to make sure no conflicting txes are present
- Upon completion of a IX lock, check for conflicts and remove blocks if needed
