What determines for a proposal to pass or not.

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

For a proposal to be 'passing' the Net Yes votes (So, Yes votes - No votes = Net Yes votes) needs to be greater than 10% of the total Masternode count.

Currently, that is approx 533 Masternodes, so the Net Yes must be greater than 53.

How to get the number of total Masternodes:

Command:

getmasternodecount

--

Passing proposals are ordered from highest to lowest Net Yes votes, and those votes are locked randomly during the 2 days prior to the Superblock.

At Superblock, they are paid in order until there is not enough $Maria left to pay, or until there are no more passing proposals.

Note:  A superblock is a special block that occurs every 30 days (Every 43,200 blocks to be precise)

The needed amount of $Maria is created only if they are to be paid out.

Any unspent balance is not created and is not carried forward to the next month.

Hi, now you need to wait for the Status "Enabled"

Computer must be on all the time?

Hi, let me break my answer in 3 parts:

1) your PC does NOT have to be online (or the wallet switched on) if you use the Maria Core wallet for holding $Maria only
2) your PC does HAVE to be online (and the wallet switched on all the time) if you staking
3) your PC does NOT have to be online (or the wallet switched on) if you run masternodes - it can go offline. Still you need to connect the wallet to internet times by times to make sure the masternode is running (this last 3rd part answer is based on my personal experience).

Does this help?
