Summary & Context

This PR directly builds upon PR #2982 (@Liquid369's Testnet6 genesis and LLMQ quorum staging) to introduce an Adaptive Masternode Fallback & Economic Self-Healing Mechanism for Version 6 (UPGRADE_V6_0).

Key Features & Modifications

1. Dynamic Masternode Incentive Boost (1,200 MN Threshold)

  • Problem: If active Masternodes fall below 1,200 nodes, 400-member LLMQ quorums (LLMQ_400_60) risk formation failure, preventing exchanges from offering 1-confirmation instant ChainLock settlements.
  • Solution: In src/validation.cpp (GetMasternodePayment), when active valid Masternodes drop below 1,200, the consensus engine dynamically scales the Masternode block reward by +25% (from 40% up to 50% per block).
  • Economic Impact: This temporary APY surge incentivizes PIVX holders to immediately launch new Masternodes, self-healing the network count back above 1,200 nodes.

2. Enhanced Real-Time PoSe Status Telemetry

  • File: src/evo/deterministicmns.cpp (CDeterministicMNState::ToJson)
  • Adds explicit "PoSeStatus" string output (OK_HEALTHY, WARNING_PENALIZED, BANNED) to protx info and getmasternodestatus RPC endpoints, giving node operators clear visibility before silent node bans occur.

3. Space-Path Build Compatibility Fix

  • File: contrib/devtools/hexdump_util.sh
  • Quotes shell variable expansion ("$INFILE" and "$OUTFILE") to ensure builds succeed when workspace paths contain spaces.

Relationship to PR #2982


Testing & Verification

  • Build: Built successfully (libCOMMON_A, libSERVER_A, libWALLET_A).
  • Unit Tests: Passed evo_deterministicmns_tests.

Old nonce never met the target for the April 30 timestamp so the
genesis assert aborted on startup, remined with the same timestamp.
hashTarget held a reference to a temporary, so the miner ended up
comparing the hash against itself and instantly submitting invalid
blocks in a loop. Take it by value.
All at 201 meant the chain never crossed an upgrade boundary. Block
version is gated per upgrade and the stake modifier changes at POS_V2,
so none of it got exercised. Spread from 201 to 700.
Testnet was still on LLMQ_400_60, which needs 300 masternodes before a
quorum forms. Testnet has nowhere near that so chainlocks could never
form at all. LLMQ_50_60 needs 40, which a testnet fleet can actually
reach.
