Dash Masternode - when is the optimal timing for updating?
![Dash-global.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc8bXVyn7LCBazyVDohAYNxeEafyoCr3Eyhd9W99WRHwS/Dash-global.jpg)

Today Masternode version 12.2.3 came out - that quite shortly after 12.2.2 while 12.3 is already overdue (roadmap planned 12.3 for Dec.). So another update. 

Usually I like to update very quickly to support the newest version for the network. But today I started wondering. Does updating put me back to the beginning of the payout queue? 

I am updating with dashman so I am not 100% sure as I know there is a possibility to restart the masternode without loosing the place in queue (RPC). Does anybody know?

Than again I was wondering - am I legit to recieve masternode payment if I am not on the newest version?

With so many updates the right timing effects the return significantly. So I thought I put the knowledge of the steemit community together to assemble a timing guide for masternodes - coulnd't find anything alike.

@jawad09 · 
Due to the low rates of BTC almost every coin is at its lower side. This is happening temporarily and I believe market will respond normal and restrore its routine value. I don't know the technicalities so don't exactly know about masternode. Anyways Thanks @famunger for sharing some informative post.Hopefully someone gives the right Ans on it.

You do not get penalized in any way for updating your Masternode software, as long as you perform the update in a reasonable short down time.
With dashman is even easier and faster. 
Just execute:  
~/dashman/dashman update
and you are done

Here's an actual update I just did:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:~$ sudo dashman/dashman update

Thanks for the info. That would be great when you don't get penalized. Why I started to wonder is because my last block reward was on the 2nd of Jan. That is much longer than usual (around 8 days). Any idea if this is not caused by upgrading?

8 days is about right.
It usually takes from 7-10 days for the whole masternodes cycle to complete

"Does updating put me back to the beginning of the payout queue?"
I think that's only the case if the new version contains a protocol update. (At least from what I read here: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/version-12-2-release.17807/page-3#post-146156 )

"am I legit to recieve masternode payment if I am not on the newest version?"
If you're not waiting multiple payment rounds there shouldn't be a problem with the payment. :)

But I'm not a MN owner myself so maybe you should ask this questions on the Dash Nation Discord Server or at the forum. :)

Great - Yes I heared of the differences between minor updates and protocol updates. Need to check that and probably follow up on this.
