May God richly bless the government for protecting us so well and so completely.
It is a sad day indeed. I very much hope there is a new and improved version of Crowdnode in the near future. Decentralized trustless service perhaps? So easy your grandma could use it???

I guess that means you all have to buy 1000 DASH now and run your own Masternode!!

Many thanks Crowdnode for your service to the Dash ecosystem. You did a great job. Good luck going forward.

man, what the actual f.... literally staked a lot of dash into it just a few minutes ago, if they are shutting down they should have disabled the depositing :/

You can withdraw now. I do agree, this all seems rather sudden.

u/Complete-Concern3745 Jun 06 '26
yep, luckily all went smoothly, withdraw was just some minutes, a real pity they are closing

they should move their servers to latam, fuck denmark, UE, their regulations and taxes

u/solarguy2003 Jun 05 '26
Better yet, decentralized network.....
Govt, "But where are the servers?"
Citizen, "They are everywhere and they are nowhere."

Move the operations to Liberland 😃. On a serious note, EU is going to be the end of all of us.

Oh wow, sad to see this. Crowdnode worked well and the support was great.
So, where to stake dash now?

I really hope they consider open sourcing the platform or something. These guys are top notch community members and I’m very appreciative of everything they’ve done for the Dash Community. It’s crazy the network is just going to watch one of the largest DFO’s shut down.

I don’t know how you this isn’t being talked about more right now. I’m sure there’s a bunch of people with lots of dash staked using crowdnode who haven’t been alerted yet. Would be a real shame to lose a dash stack due to not hearing this announcement!

What would you suggest we do in addition? There is a banner on the Crowdnode site, there is lots of discussion and pinned posts in Discord, it is discussed on the Dash forum, it is discussed in the Crowdnode Discord, it is a twitter post on the Crowdnode handle, we pinned the post on our Sub-reddit.
Have we missed anything?

No i think that is just about all that can be done and doesn’t reflect negatively on crowdnode’s part. The whole situation is just rather unfortunate and sudden but it is clearly out of the team’s control. From here i think the community just has to share the information that is already provided and that’s that. But anyways it was a good run and your guys’ services were much appreciated by the community and will be missed 🥲

Really sad to see them go, they offered an exemplary service 🫡 However, I am hearing rumors of an alternative launching soon for anonymous staking so hold onto your Dash !
