I guess the next step is to see if one can create a DIP3 masternode on the mainnet but I am unable to help with that as I do not have the required collateral...
Yes, the collateral is going up to 4,500,001, so its quite a risky thing to tie up 3* the amount currently LOL.
Well this is actually a very critical issue and relies on something that isn't readily apparent in the code that sort of drives our decision to do this a certain way.
The new Dash non-financial transactions require the pro-reg-tx payload to be stored in a certain way that starts storing data in the prod chain in an extended place, that I really don't want to be intermingled with biblepay-classic nodes. Another words, we must ensure the dip15 cutover is on a height well after our mandatory upgrade height to evo - we will have to phase Evo in at a certain height, and run legacy sancs first:
For example:
Height 135,000 - Cutover to Evolution - convert sancs from 1.55m to 4.5MM
Height 145,000 - Upgrade to Deterministic sancs (between 135K-145K)
Height 145,001 - Mandatory upgrade to deterministic non-financial txes (dip15 is enabled)
Its a shame that we have to do this in two steps, but its really the only way I can see doing this - if we go directly to deterministic sancs, we would break the biblepay classic nodes (as the extra non-financial data would not be parseable).
But yes, we will talk more about this soon, and I will act as a sacrificial lamb with one of my sancs and create it in Prod through evo as a 4.5MM and ensure it starts.
I think we will need to organize this endeavor in a way where we ask our Prod sancs to upgrade 7 days before the mandatory cutover height (IE before the exchanges even upgrade), because moving to evo requires all sancs to re-organize into a 4.5MM farm.
(If we asked them to upgrade after the height prod would have no sancs at the cutover height). We also have to take into consideration the monthly budget height.
It would be good to frame this upgrade right after either May 30ths block, or June 30th's block.
At that point Sancs in prod would download Evo, upgrade to 4.5 MM in classic mode, then around the 7th, the mandatory height passes, the exchanges upgrade and then we have a certain buffer (say 25 more days) to upgrade to deterministic.
