This is also why you should be open sourced from the beginning

darkcoin is JUST open sourcing.  god only knows what else they're going to find.

xc doesn't really even deserve a mention.

anonymity should always be trusted to open sourced solutions

This is exactly what's going to happen when you have a centralized network of nodes and a bunch of convoluted spaghetti code keeping everything running.  The darkcoin masternode network is nothing but an overcomplicated clusterfuck of a mess.  darkcoin is already outdated.  Anonymity on the blockchain is the path forward.  Not a screwed up centralized masternode network which is nothing more than a way for the drk instaminers and other large holders to continue to generate income. 

It won't be long before another exploit is discovered in the darkcoin code.  It's not a matter of if but when.

darkcoins time has come and gone.  This pump and dump scam is running out of gas.

I thought that they paid for a code review?  It is now blatantly obvious that the purpose of the code review was nothing more than a way to try and hype the coin so that people could dump their coins while they claimed they were buying and were working feverishly to get others to buy while at the same time they were dumping what they could.

darkcoin isn't a coin.  darkcoin is a cult.  Just look through the darkcoin thread.  One guy even goes as far as to give the hacker kudos for exposing the bug that allowed him to hack the masternode network and get free drk. 

They don't have a big enough rug to sweep all this shit under.

Spaghetti code

I don't know much about NEOS but it's obvious that darkcoin is a failure and more and more people are realizing that everyday.

It's pathetic isn't it?  They are actually thanking the hacker for finding an exploit that took him two hours to find.  Some even gave him kudos and said he deserved the drk he hacked.  They are working overtime to sweep this under the rug and forget about it but the fact remains that an amateur coder found an exploit in darksend in 2 hours.

What I don't understand is what the code review they paid for accomplished other than a way to try and hype the price of drk.  It's obvious that things were missed in the code review.  I wonder what else is waiting to be exploited.

no actually that is EXACTLY the attitude that should be had.

Code reviews are useless (except to pump the price).  I don't know why everybody doesn't get it - Microsoft has been hacked thousands of times with hundreds and hundreds of developers pouring over their code.  Whereas linux is much more secure because you have unlimited number of eyes on it via opensource.

Dark should have been opensourced from the beginning.

How did that bogus block injection hack work out a month ago? Don't lie about things. Transaction fee is still 0.1xmr.

You're right.  They should have skipped the review of their closed source code, open sourced  and offered bounties for anyone finding an exploit.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that thought the code review was nothing more than a way to pump the price.  Too bad for them it failed.  Now all the drk cult wants to do is forget about being hacked and continue talking about the moon and replacing bitcoin.  It's quite hilarious to watch.

dude stfu.

hackers are welcome to any cryptocurrency.  the sooner they destroy it / hurt it / find bugs the better.

even in monero (which i support - BRING IT ON BCX!)

I would suggest you invest in XC.  You would do well there.

And again you're showing your ignorance.

Read this clueless troll: I have come to the conclusion that "on chain anon" defeats the purpose. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=806378)
And especially read what user TheFascistMind (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=375762) (= AnonyMint) has to say about it.

lies...more lies...

the bad part is i like monero (and bbr) in SPITE of the idiot nekomata shill and IN SPITE of shill in chief rptellia.

And for those who don't already know, shojayxt is known to troll who got busted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg8916412#msg8916412) using sock puppet accounts in order to lower the price so he could finally get in with his 0.5 BTC roll.


This is his ad I found on craigslist while randomly searching for troll spray:

https://i.imgflip.com/b9lz5.jpg

Please, go spread your Shitcoin somewhere else.

I'm flattered that you feel inclined to follow me around like you do.  But you've just proven yourself to be nothing more than a follower.  You copy and paste someone else's post to reply to me.  Can't you think for yourself?

Anyone who thinks that off chain anon is better than on chain anon doesn't understand cryptography.

I'll leave it at that because if I post a detailed explanation, I'll only be vehemently rebutted by people who don't know what they are talking about.

Instead, I'll invest in ring signature coins and my holdings will validate my understanding over time. I feel no need to convince a bunch of dufuses.

Look like the DRK spaghetti code has already made one victim
 ;D

#shitcoin

#SCAM

So you're methodology is to attack me personally rather than address the serious issues that have come to light regarding darkcoin being hacked.

You darkcoin cult members never address the real issue of darkcoin being a clusterfuck of spaghetti code and a centralized masternode network.  You're only response to anything is to make personal attacks and sweep everything under the rug hoping it will go away.  Well it's not going to work this time.  DARKCOIN WAS HACKED.  That's a fact.  AN EXPLOIT WAS FOUND AND USED THAT COMPROMISED THE MASTERNODE NETWORK AND ALLOWED AN ATTACKER TO GET FREE DRK.  

Now continue on with your "To The Moon" and "We'll Replace Bitcoin" chants.

And for the record, I have a better picture than what you're posting.  I had a nose job, a chin tuck, I curled my hair and have blonde highlights.  PM me and I'll send you an updated picture.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you're delusional - I'm not following you around. I thought you really were gone like you said you'd be until you posted in DRK related threads. I guess you were so embarrassed getting caught using the sock puppet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg8916412#msg8916412) that you stayed away from DRK until now.



I feel fine quoting people to you who are much smarter than me and much more knowledgeable than I am, I don't like to make a fool out of myself by "thinking for myself" and spouting clueless crap I've randomly just thought of. Just looking at you doing it should be a prime example of what not to do.

DRK has opened source its code !!!

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/4809641_700b.jpg

tx42 vs AnonyMint, would like to see that.

I'll have him calling me names out of frustration in 4 exchanges.

In case you didn't notice, this is a DRK thread, not that I care. Nobody gives two shits about Monero now that your community of shills has spammed the altcoin boards into oblivion.

If you post in a way that's designed to piss off people, and if they actually respond, don't start crying. You're just trying to create drama where none exist.

Serious issue? Someone managed to game the block reward payments so his masternode got paid more often than it should have. Bug was fixed in 10 minutes. Boohoo.



And how would you know? I bet you haven't even looked at the code, and probably wouldn't even know where to find it. Your credibility is zero.



Yes, ~1000 masternodes is very centralized. I believe the target is 3000-4000 nodes eventually. Do you know what centralized means?

The forum is alternate cryptocurrencies. The dark thread is elsewhere.

Yeh well... A coin is a coin no matter which people support it. The technology of the coin is all that matters. Wisdom is found in he that picks the coin in deference to the madness of the people that surround it. Darkcoin just doesn't have the technical credibility for the kind of market it's touting itself too, unfortunately. This is not new news, it's just that some people are incredibly incredibly thick.

Nice he didnt use it against drk

Master nodes are not scalable. In a real P2P network (not centralized), you can add peers without limit. The more peers, the better.

A master node needs 1000 DRK to be eligible and as DRK are limited, the number of master nodes is limite as well.

And as master nodes implements major functionality for DRK coin, the whole DRK architecture limits the scalability of the coin.

THAT'S WHY DRK WILL NEVER BREAK THROUGH. NO ONE WILL EVER BE CONVINCED BY SUCH A FLAWED DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE.


It's dead, man. Dead from the beginning...

there are only 7000 bitcoin nodes.  so dark is probably more decentralized than many / most alts.

at least they are open sourced.  XC started by naming their coin after the algorithm darkcoin invented, (x11coin) - then did an instamine (100 days) - then still hasn't opensourced.  In fact I think the same guy who MISSED the problem in dark found problems in XC and the dev went back to work.

if darkcoin is dead - then xc is simply joke that isn't all that funny.

Actually, that's not entirely true.



Actually, Darkcoin has the technical credibility. What is not news though, is that clueless bagholders of other coins will try to talk it down - but I guess that comes with the territory of being the first mover and market leader.

Hu... technical credibility ? Are you smoking, man ?

DRK is not credible at all from the beginning:

- INSTAMINED BY DEV

- pump and dumped like never seen on any crypto coin

- shitty master node architecture

- Constant price decline after the pump and dump

DRK is a (very bad) joke and give a very bad image of the crypto scene.

And now that the code is open sourced, there will be episode like this one more and more often. Prepare for the big slide ;-)

You have no idea of the variables in play. You don't have a faintest idea how many transactions 1000 nodes can handle. Or 2000. Or 4000. You're just blowing hot air. Your credibility is zero.

It's not like this you'll convince people that DRK is well designed.

As soon as you have the concept of master nodes, you are not in a P2P network anymore.

You have a bunch of centralized servers with some nodes connected to it.

Saying that DRK is peer to peer and not centralized is just like saying Google is P2P.

#DRK Fail

XC named their coin after algorithm invented by DRK

XC was ALL MINED in 100 days (at least dark is minable still)

XC has their dev "review" other shitcoins to pump them.  it's openly discussed in the XC thread so the XC buyers can "get in the action of the coin the dev is about to pump"

who the hell knows what XC does?  it hasn't been opensourced since the rev 1.  for all anyone knows it could be exactly the same as rev 1.  which did have vulnerabilities from the prof review (not even opensourced - as seen with dark a "review" is worthless).



No.  dark is a failure.  Possibly a little scammy. 

XC is a joke.

You should probably just start a new "Shojayxt is a Troll" thread instead of stalking me and spamming every thread I post in with your personal attacks.  But that would require you to do something for yourself and since your just a follower that isn't likely to happen.  

I'm sorry you missed the lunch. I really am. Pay attention next time. I'm not the dev, but I managed to mine just fine.



You haven't seen much then I suppose.



Says who? You? LOL
Masternode architecture is awesome, it enables decentralized trustless offchain mixing, and a whole plethora of other features, like instant transaction confirmations.



And this has to do with technical credibility, exactly what? Usually after a bubble forms, it has to come down to reasonable levels.



Again, says who? You? LOL
Try harder, troll.



Episode "like this one" is nothing, someone manages to get higher percentage of rewards for a while, so what? Bugs are found, bugs are getting fixed. I am sure more bugs will be found, no doubt. All crypto is still basically beta software (and a lot of it is alpha, and a lot of it is vaporware). Only ones getting a hard-on out of this are trolls who think they missed the train and are just jelly people aren't buying into their shitcoin.

Ha ha.

How many darkcoin bagholders are there?  

Weren't you one of the guys claiming to be buying more cheap drk all the way down from $12?  

Are you buying more drk now whil;e the price is just over $2?

Do you still think that you'll replace bitcoin?

What does the moon look like up close?

  

Could not agree more. This is the first post that explains how I feel about the whole darkcoin premise.

The system itself could drop the whole master node base and just add an extra layer e.g. Proof of funds which really is nothing more than proof of stake in essence.

So why adding the whole masternodes was to add anonymity and reward investors, the same could have been achieved in a far more streamlined result.

Something good must be coming soon to DRK to warrant this kind of attention.

Darkcoin is the worst form of anonymous coin we've tried yet... except for all of the others.

XC named their coin after algorithm invented by DRK

XC was ALL MINED in 100 days (at least dark is minable still)

XC has their dev "review" other shitcoins to pump them.  it's openly discussed in the XC thread so the XC buyers can "get in the action of the coin the dev is about to pump"

No.  dark is a failure.  Possibly a little scammy. 

XC is a joke.

No.



You think I would tell you?



Never did.



Dunno, ask your momma.


Any other questions?

Didn't last long until the arguments ran out. Oh well. :)

Same with the gasoline in the darkcoin car.  Running on fumes now

I'm sorry for your loss and future loss, dude. Anyway, I still wish you good luck with DRK.

DRK is the highway to hell...

https://i.imgur.com/a2sZCor.png

At least, you know where you're going to !  ;D



https://i.imgur.com/HJi6QC7.png

It's always interesting to read about potential improvements.

Assume there is a proof of funds, i.e. you have an address with let's say 1000 DRK in it. How to streamline it from there?

Has this exploit been fixed yet?

the nodes were more a way to drive demand for the coin up on the exchange.

XC recently did the same thing to drive prices up ... suprise suprise  ::)

So drk wasnt open source from beginning?

Why?

it's the same with XC.

Because of the fact that they are trying to monopolize their market niche and know it's somewhat of a scam (instamine, premine, etc) they know that if they DO have good tech - it will be cloned to a fair release fork (IE - Monero vs Bytecoin).  So they keep it closed sourced.

Also their code probably sucks and they don't want it to be public ... selling the coin on what they think they'll have by the time they release vs release it and then try to sell it.

Yes: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commit/fe9fddb292a8505a8f915708d87ef27a1ddd6060

But what do you want to protect in the case of DRK ?

Why would someone copy it ?!? There are tons of far more better solutions available.

Just poke us whenever a darkshit clone is created...

DRK is the best solution available! See, my argument is as good as yours!

The reason I don't think many will copy DRK, is that its masternode network is not easy to copy. You'd start your coin, then after a month you'd have enough coins to run 10 masternodes or w/e depending on your parameters, each generating an income of $0.0001 / day. No one would host a masternode with a loss.

It would take at least 6-12 months until you'd have a credible masternode network each node valuable enough you couldn't easily just buy off the majority of them. Far too long term of a plan for your standard pump & dump clone project. It's just simpler to clone a PoS coin with 1 week PoW period and put random features into the roadmap.

My bad :)

Much better, indeed :-)

And thank you for this funny site. I had a good laugh  ;D

What do we know about "XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ"? Very little really, but it's not somebody who is willing to take credit for finding the exploit. Do we assume that finding this exploit is this person's first encounter with the cryptocurrency world?

Would it be reasonable to suggest that most people would be happy to take credit for finding the exploit? Perhaps somebody who might benefit from Darkcoin being damaged would be interested in finding a bug and reporting it anonymously, somebody invested in another anonymous cryptocurrency, for example. We know very well from one of the posters in this thread that it's not difficult to create sock-puppet accounts to support your case.

One thing we do know, is that "XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ" does not have a reputation to uphold here on bitcointalk. As a result this person can post things which nobody can confirm or deny. For example:

Throw in a condescending remark about someone who does have a reputation in the crypto community:

And of course a parting jab, but with a "nice guy" remark for good measure:

Based on what we actually know about this character, the thread title "darkcoin exploit found in 2 hours by amateur" is impossible to verify and seems sensationalist.

DRK is the future of crypto so don't listen to the trolls.

robinwilliams was banned from the XC thread today.

372 total posts and over 70 dedicated to XC.

Darkcoin has an exploit but he swings the topic back to XC.

mr williams... if XC is such a joke, then why do you make it the subject of over 20% of your posts?

No need to answer. The facts of your actions over the past month are ample evidence of your true intentions.



mr williams... the grand puppetmaster! :P
 

 lol because I like to laugh.

also hate seeing people get swindled by closed sourced "privacy" code.

it was an xc puppet that came in here talking about how dark is bad (which it is) - but XC is like dark's retarted brother that just follows in his footsteps (or tries)

wasn't the code called into question by a hero member way back on page 60 something of the darkcoin thread? it was around the time they were rolling out the masternodes and selling them.

This thread is just LOL with all the trolling.

Shoyaxt and robinwilliams are very special individuals that's for sure... (I don't mean this in a good way)

Darkcoin is open source. The only part which wasn't was DarkSend but the source code was released last week: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/ (https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/)

How many times have you been told it is being open sourced in the next 2 months?

Darkcoin was closed source for over 8 months? Not one post on their thread about closed source? Yes... you are so unbiased.

Lol! If you are going to snipe... conceal your identity better. Its too easy to see where the muzzle flash is coming from with you. :-*

dude - xc was closed source for six months ... so by the time it comes out = 8 months.  just like big bro darkcoin

and I'm not the individual you claim  ::)

my opinion is dark sucks, xc sucks more.

Darkcoin will still past LTC & all the other shit coins for the #2 market cap spot!

haha - darkcoins time to shine (no pun intended) is over

lol many people claim they are next in line for litecoins spot.  none are.  they just like to dream

just realized - the hacker\attacker guy writes like jl777 & he would have the motivation (maybe?) o.O

dude... you obviously missed my point. I am asking why you posted over 70X that XC is blah, blah, blah... when you didn't post one comment on the Darkcoin thread about their project? Where are all the posts about Darkcoin? They are the top Anon coin as far as market cap is concerned, and not one post about their closed source? Lol!

XC sucks? Then explain why you have dedicated 20% of your posts to it?

XC doesnt spam the forum like Monero... your invesntment btw. So why the hate?

Right... you are just concerned for your fellow cryptobros. How original. Appeal to sympathy has to be the most overused fallacy on this forum.







I just love how you always say... "I'm not trying to start any drama here guys, but..."

Now its JL777 fault? Curious... how do really feel? Lmao!

I"M NOT MONEROMAN88 ... moneroman88 is that NXT thief who killed somebody and is trying to find jl777's identity  

I don't like nxt or jl777 or the supernet or theifs or people who kill people.

His posts are fairly basic with not a huge amount of cognitive thought, he's just a bottom feeding kid on his Uncles laptop trolling for steam credit...

https://i.imgur.com/75oV4ZU.jpg


Ok... whatever you say Dick. You are not a crook.

This is all true.  To be on my Legitimate Altcoin Whitelist, a coin must follow Bitcoin's example and be 100% open source.  Not some half-assed delayed version.

All the nooblings losing their shitcoins to Madoff Node exploits are being taught a valuable (and therefore expensive) lesson: DON'T TRUST CLOSED SOURCE!

The good intentions of the devs aren't the point and don't matter; the of point open source is to verify the code's security with as many eyes and brains as possible.

The good intentions of the dev? the intentions were probably not good at this point. If they were, they would have hired a professional. instead they created hype they couldn't live up to and probably profited nicely in doing so.

WOW -11 trade trust what did you do?  :D

It's you who's trying to convince people (and yourself) it can't scale enough to BREAK THROUGH. I'm just saying you have no idea.



By your logic, as soon as you have people running their clients behind firewalls blocking incoming ports, you are not in a P2P network anymore.

#TROLL Fail

Is it true?

this is why although i have *some coding skill i never made a coin.
and why i encouraged people to try and avoid anon devs who are often kids buying pre-made coins etc.
or younger people who are dumb and shouldn't be making coins because they are over their head skill wise.

this shows you all why picking what coin to invest in is important.

I refused to bow down to the posters who control the default trust. and use their position to create arbitrary pseudo rules. they spent the last two days trying to convince me i was wrong and was trying to "buy trust". you should see the threads, i totally own them time and time again intellectually, the whole time pointing out the fact that they are behaving like holier than thou faggots. it was hilarious.

I was alluding to the fact that given the salubrious effect of many eyes/brains on FOSS, we may assume a dev has good intentions regardless of their actual motivation.

It works in reverse too; if a dev refuses to release the code, we may (IE must) assume he has bad intentions.

did you get dropped on your head as a child?  

i posted in the MAIN FORUM about darkcoins problems.  with you guys i just posted in your chat thread vs humiliating you in public - however now that you wanna cry about it.  i will spend some time coming up with an APPORPRIATE response for this wanna be copy cat of a near scam closed source anonominity, web 3.0 "solution" who has copied the original algo name, the masternode idea, the closed source route ... ALL from darkcoin (except with a 100 day premine i would say XC is more of a scam)

i actually have some inside information that one of your devs is about to get his ass sued off in court.  trust me - there is more dirt on XC than even that dude who posted all that shit about the ex dev and was crying his ass off brought up.

To be clear = I came to YOU GUYS with my issues etc etc and explained things and got kicked out of your thread.  I made a DARKCOIN THREAD outlining some issues and now you are saying "wa wa ... you aren't as mean to darkcoin as you are XC"

Boy you are a special one aren't you HAHA  :D

http://www.dumpaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/funny-quotes-i-just-rolled-my-eyes.jpg

True, but i think the combination of our posts shows the whole picture. We can't prove for certain whether the dev had good intentions, but lets face it. if you're releasing coins you're probably trying to make money, gain notoriety, or in very rare cases, you did for the challenge of pushing the envelope. we don't really know the motivational factor(s) for this dev, but we do know that in terms of C++ coding, the developer is an amateur. It's not much of  a stretch to speculate either way on his intentions at this point.

PS: you have a salubrious vocabulary. learned a new word :P

First, define amateur, and then, how do we know exactly that he is one?

assume


"bro we need a prng for darksend. any ideas? i don't know much about RNG's admittedly"

"fuck it, just use std::rand()"


coins are lost if main() terminates unexpectedly before lockedCoins.clear(), which should have a reference in the main scope so it can be called referenced during shutdown.


we know that session ids are used to identify with the network because of the following code. maybe this should be examine the protocol for this connection more closely.

This doesn't mean he is an amateur. judging by the coding style, and what i've seen through half tired eyes its a group.

I don't see the logic .... why are you talking about firewall and incoming ports ?

Have you any network knowledge ? I mean, strong one, not like just configuring an adsl router...

In a bitcoin network, there are two types of citizens: full nodes with the whole blockchain and with open incoming ports to which other nodes can connect to, and nodes behind a firewall which you can't connect to or without the whole blockchain.

Compare this to darkcoin network, where you could think of existing also two types of citizens: masternodes and nodes.

You can't say the other isn't P2P while the other is.

Just like that!

Yes. It is

AMEN.

It has nothing to do with anon or not, on or off chain.

It has nothing to do with centralized or decentralized or anything in-between.

It has nothing to do with paid code reviews, marketing shill hype, or mudslinging between coin cult fanbois.

It has everything to do with the fact that these are "proof coordination networks" and without open source you have no reasonable way to know the structure of the proofs, or what they prove over, and in turn have no way to verify the usefulness of the proofs and function of the network as being sound, let alone altruistic.  As such, you can have no alternative but to assume the coin does not function.

The whole "big idea" of crypto-currency is that, by the combination of the details of the implementation of proof coordination and Satoshi's social contract, no-one need explicitly trust any other singular entity.  These closed source coins not only break the assumed social contract, but also explicitly obscure the implementation detail in doing so.

A closed source coin requests of you nothing short of 100% blind faith in the developers.  In this case this is not just faith that their implementation is both as they claim and free of defect, but also faith that they will not malware your computer, steal all of your coins, monitor all of your activities, spam your address book with v1agra ads, impersonate your mother on facebook, etc.

We have to assume that any breach of the social contract is done explicitly to break the trust-free function of the network, as it accomplishes no other thing. The assumptions that have to be drawn in turn, as following from this, are all not very pretty.  In other words, *any* reason to break the social contract is inherently a scary bad reason.

If a crypto coin does not offer up it's proof structures for review then it cannot be said to function correctly as a proof coordination network, and as such it must be assumed not to function correctly as a crypto coin.

If a crypto coin violates Satoshi's social contract then it cannot be said to function correctly as a trust-free network, and as such it must be assumed not to function correctly as a crypto coin.

Closed source coins are just simply not able to be rationally considered coins at all, no two ways about it.

You'd unquestionably be better off with Paypal, WoW gold, or the U.S. Fed minting your coins as at least then you have another open code and social contract to fall back on, called tort law.

Closed source coins are downright dangerous.  You have no way to know what they can/will do, and no recourse if what they end up doing is harmful to you.

YES!  THANK YOU!

closed source "cryptocurrency" is worse than nothing at all

None of these coins would have existed without the great work of Satoshi and his willingness to keep the entire project open source. I find it weird that some developers use that very technology and somehow think their work is too important to be open source. If you cannot keep the moral code of what allowed you to even have a coin then please find another approach that keeps this integrity in place.

Oops.

A thread full of squabbling rats in a sewer.

I must've dropped through an undocumented manhole on bitcointalk  :o

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg9116360#msg9116360 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg9116360#msg9116360)
Crypto community are cockroaches and rats because they dont buy into that instamine crap as they would wish. Now they want to try to sell it to some uninformed granny's instead.

First the Linux guys slave away for over a decade to have a open project going then Satoshi does his bit, than this scam of the earth comes along and things he can fuck everyone.
I'm so glad there are real anon coins about.

what about SSD coin? do you think it is legitimate? I went into their thread ragging them but they almost have me sold they are legit. i still not buy into it though until they deliver on all promises.

I think if a cryptocoin had knocked my nose out of joint as far as it seems to have done yours I'd try a less stressful pastime.

At least you're stuffed in the same clueless thread with some of the all star charlatans of Bitcointalk. Enjoy the company  ;)

Operation ShitCODE Cleanout.

Enough of these C++ coins.

All coins not coded in Brainfuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck#Examples) are hereby on notice of their imminent demise.

This is really clutching at straws here.

I condone using open-source software as much as possible. I would be lying if I said that I would have been interested in Bitcoin initally if it were not open source. But the cryptocurrency landscape is very different now to Bitcoin's early days. Manipulation is rife. Crypto traders are fickle. Coin cloning with a changed parameter or two and a different name is the norm. A clone coin offering no technical innovation but some tiresome catchphrases and marketing tactics once made it to 3rd place in terms of market cap. It's back in the top 5 again now.

I initially dismissed Darkcoin's chances of success because of the name but after reading some of Evan's posts I became interested in the project. I didn't like the idea of closed source at all, but it was always said that the DarkSend source code would eventually be released. I weighed up risk vs. reward and put my trust In Evan and his claim that the source code would be released further ahead. This trust was due to my assessment of his character based on reading his posts. It turns out the character assessment was quite good - he kept his word and the DarkSend source was released last Monday :https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/ (https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/).

The code's security can now be verified with as many eyes and brains as possible. Evan does not hide behind a handle - his reputation is on the line if anything nefarious is found in the code.

I'm going to write this in a larger, more colourful font, because it seems that some posting in this thread are mere shills or for some reason haven't realised this yet:
 Darkcoin is 100% open source

learn the difference between c and c++ buddy LOL
then your comment might have some credence ahhaha
like omg i am soooper coderzxz in javascipt and PHP !!!

i think you mean "NOW" is open source after a recent announcement stating this by the devs ;)

how's reality treating ya these days bud ?

the Majority of bitcoin is in C++ i think the only parts that are C is the hashing algorithms which all come from an open source library. Open something, can't rember what its called.

What part of "is" means "has always been"? Should I have written the whole post in large colourful letters for you?

How's reading comprehension treating you these days bud?

Fikst.

SSD is the only one with Stenography. Not much of a market for it now but if it is stout and continues along then there might be.

It's been out for awhile and I haven't seen any copycats.  Kind of a relevant indicator to me.

Is Supercoin the real deal? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736705.msg8324932#msg8324932

ouch.  that sucks for Darkcoin.  I wouldn't want to hold Dark right now. 

If the code isn't open sourced, nobody really knows.

It seems to !!! :o :o :o

What sucks? That the bug was fixed (https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commit/fe9fddb292a8505a8f915708d87ef27a1ddd6060) within minutes and the coin is stronger by it?



It is open sourced, go check it out: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin

Funny, I found this thread again by googling darkcoin + spaghetti  :D.

ouch. lets see how xc gonna perform now dark is out.

Not out by a long shot, where did you get that idea?

The bug was fixed (https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commit/fe9fddb292a8505a8f915708d87ef27a1ddd6060) within minutes and the coin is stronger because of it.

If you're interested in DRK, did you read these btw?
https://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/InstantTX.pdf
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/paper-transaction-locking-and-masternode-consensus.2418/

Some preliminary first ideas of how DRK's instant transactions could be useful:
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/instantx-micropayments-unlocking-the-potential-for-real-push-mechanism-in-cryptocurrencies.2642/

lol. Not a good thread to shill your favourite copycoin. XC is still closed source.

Where can I read about SSD's steganographic features?  I didn't see it mentioned in the ANN thread's OP.

I can easily retrieve this thread by googling "darkcoin exploit amateur" :D

:P Guess what thread you get by googling: clueless troll sock puppet lies stfu

I tell you what's not a lie...
Basically 5 people own almost ALL the litecoin ever mined

http://www.litecoinrichlist.com/ (http://www.litecoinrichlist.com/)

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with cryptocurrency exchanges - bitfinex, cryptsy, etc.?

Is this exploit still possible ? That would be a real shame for DRK holders who are already very stupid to follow a shitcoin like sheeps in my opinion but anyway...

cool resurrection of a long dead thread. And with regards to your question, if you really need to ask if this exploit is still possible i doubt i can explain to you the answer,
in any language.
