I haven't looked at Dash specifically, but it seems difficult. After all, it's not merely running full nodes that needs to happen, but using your own to verify payments to you. It's hard to prove this.

Having your own full node to verify payments received is incentive compatible *if* either you have frequent large payments incoming or you've already funded your node by other means (like Dash?), making the ability to .verify small or uncommon incoming payments icing on the cake.

That said, I don't know how (or if) Dash solves the problem of preventing Sybil attackers from claiming to run full nodes when they really aren't. #Bitcoin #Dash

I haven't seen anybody look into this particular Dash feature in any sufficient detail though.

No that doesn't do it.

Presenting Fluffypony as an authority on #Dash is as ridiculous as asking Mao Zedong to speak on the merits of democracy. He doesn't even know how PrivateSend works. You want to look at PRIMARY sources on the subject matter. We have metric tons of it. Never bothered to look?
