Bitcoin Forum

Okay so I'm totally new to this so please skip all negativity  ;D. Thought to try to make a new coin (for fun, learning, and if we're lucky maybe bring the altcoin community something new. Can also add that I am from Sweden so English is not my native language (using Google translate right now  ::) ). I do not know yet when Darkcoin will be finished so you can start mine it. Will update here when it is available. So you all get a fair start.

Do not know yet but soon I hope  :P

are you sure that this one is correct?   ===> "Total of 100.000.000.000.000.000 DRK will be mined."

Yes, I had thought that. But I'm open to suggestions ;D.

Good luck with the launch!

If you need a hand with anything, give me a shout.

Thanks ;D. Where in Norway are you from?


Thanks ;D.


Any help is welcome :D. What are you good at and willing to help with?

Quark clone part 27...
I would reduce the number of coins, it is pointless having trillions of coins, make it 1 million total so each coin has a worth.

Also most quark clones are mined out in no time, why not over several years...

12 years until full blockreward is reached. oO

Well then I'll have a mine of it when it's released then.

Yes I know but thought quark seem like a good basis to start with.

My thought with so much coin is that each coin will not be worth so much and the price should not increase or decrease as rapidly as for example Bitcoins do.
But as I wrote earlier, I'm open to suggestions.

FrozenCoin, MoleculeCoin, DimeCoin, AtomCoin, UnionCoin, SecondCoin, SecureCoin, RVDCoin.. all are born from Quark.. and now this one. What for? Here is no any new idea except copy-paste.

p.s. OMG just noticed:  "Total of 100.000.000.000.000.000 DRK will be mined.". Tell me now, how you suppose this coin to be traded on markets? Do you know that there is no lower prices than 1 satoshi (0.00000001 btc) ? So forget about trading pair DRK/BTC

But 100 quadrillion total coins? So if it reached bitcoins market cap it would still be 0.0000002 bitcoin per DRK?

way huge number of coins. You got to reduce. This will just die otherwise.

while you make your points about copy pastes, you're wrong about a coin being less than one satoshi. That's what LTC and XPM markets are for  ;)

Make sure you know C++ and how to mine  :D

Oh, this is my favorite part. Getting ready to see

Thanks for announcement and being honest that you don't know much and doing this for fun.
Refreshing to see it.

100 trillion coins.... Hmmmmm.

Good luck with this, I will definitely throw some hashes at this. I like your block rewards.

100 Quadrillion is a lot of coins.  Let me see:  to store that in a 64-bit integer, you'll need to have 5 places of divisibility or less.  IE, DRK can be no more than 100K of its smallest subdivision, where one Bitcoin is 100M Satoshi.  So for starters you'll need to set COIN (in util.h) to 100K instead of 100M, and right under it set CENT to 1K instead of 1M.  

Depending on whether other people have made this change and tested it before, you may have some bugs to hunt in parts of the code that aren't sensitive to those constants and ought to be.

But seriously, why the ever-larger numbers?  It's getting to be a cliche and it's been done so much now that it's become one of the hallmarks of a crapcoin.  Cut a factor of a million off of that and it won't change the way people use it at all.  

The reward halving time is much more important than the number of coins.  If it's more than four years, the coin may be a good long-term investment.  If it's less than half a year (like QRK) the coin may be good for a big pump and dump, but it will not be interesting or valuable after the first few months.

Heh.  Maybe I ought to make a boardgame about pump and dump scams.  It could be interesting...

wait.  40 second blocks, reward halving every ten million blocks.

equals 400 million seconds per halving time.

1 year ~= 365.25 days, 24 hours per day, 3600 seconds per hour.  total 31.5576 million seconds. 

400 million / 31.5576 million = 12.6752... years.

So, the reward on this would be halving every 12 years, 8 months, 3 days, 2 hours, 1 minute, and 53.35 seconds?  Approximately? 

Hoooly crap, that's a long distribution schedule. 

So, yes, definitely not a pump and dump.  But dude, are you seriously in this for the next fifty years of your life? 

make it 7 billion, like the number of all the human in the world

use a number that can impress

reserved

Fuck CPU only coins. Fresh meat to botnets. Insecure network.

Traded on markets, you mean, like when? There would be 'only' about 360 million coins in approx. 3 year of existing (haven't made accurate calculations yet), and only god knows when number of coins will reach 100 quadrillion. So trading shouldn't be a real problem in the nearest future.
And I actually see no reason why this coin limit should exist (except to astonish us).

upd: I made a mistake. It actually would be more like 4,5 trillion coins in 3 years. So yes, it would be unacceptable for btc market.

If you would like to pre-reg on a pool, I will have notnull.org up with one once I can compile the wallet. the plumbing is in place already for QRK, so this should be a simple implementation.

http://drk.notnull.org/ (http://drk.notnull.org/)

Please email me or PM me if you see the code become available: adam@notnull.org

Well, my Photoshop skills suck, this was the 2nd version i tried (believe me you don't want to see the first).

I urge you to revise the "no virus" feature of your coin.

100 trillion coins? Well... damn.

So are you going to go at this alone with no team? or do you have some support in place?

Join Darkcoin on Google+  ;)

Reserved

Imagine that your currency became popular. And how to sell it? BTC 0.00000001 per piece? Mined by 2`000`000 2 DRK immediately?
Do all 1`000`000 coins, then they will be the future

I'm afraid this might be worthless due to the ridiculous total supply 100.000.000.000.000.000 DRK ????

what does it mean when people say "reserved"

I just want to say good luck. Hope the darkcoin is really dark (horse).

Wohohoho https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i.imgur.com/jOVUUOz.jpg&fnr

Its even inflationary  ;D

But, but, but, can you be sure this is actually inflation (which I dislike although fb does not have a button for it)?


[I don't even know what that many zero's mean]

You can become a  Multibillionaire  ! ;D

Not with a descendant that halves rewards, bitcoin is able to cut into its rewards cause it is the initial genesis coin, and so will always bring miners, all the newbies will ultimately fail cause they cannot draw attention like their parent (maybe ltc), halving is BS, makes no economic sense outside  of the class room (this one), To become a Multibillionaire with cryptocurrency a person needs to know trading trends in depth, now I could be wrong, but I tempt you to put in layman's terms how bitcoin or any other coin that halves can sustain someone invested to mine the currency, does not make sense beyond a hypothetical situation.

Oh please don't change it! That would be just a wonderful experiment. It's very interesting how coin price and market cap would behave with such block reward. That's cool idea, I will surely watch your progress.

no exchage platform has so much 0.0 zero

Yes, cool idea. But 100.000.000.000.000.000 is tooooo manyyyyyy)

Check out Bernankoin  :D

Didn't infinitecoin or infinitycoin or something like that also have huge numbers of coins/minting?

-MarkM-

not, jus 100 billion, this is trillion lol

I don't undstand the reward schedule.
What's the real amonut of the reward?

Must reduce total coins!

Reduce the total coin

I was just watching http://www.darkcoin.info/Block+reward and found a typo after 6000000 block.
https://i.imgur.com/gGsbDKr.png

And why not 100 000 ...and so on?
There are already people thinking that bitcoin has stopped growing in price because it's huge value for 1 BTC.

With a few gazillions coins the coin might actually succeed since it's target would be 1$ per coin.
Interesting to watch.

Also , for the people concerned about the years... do you have a clue when will the last btc be mined?

This's basically a quark clone, but if you really want success do the following --

1) Extend mining time to a year to a maximum of 2 years.
2) Increase inflation to 0.7% to maybe 1% (better miner incentive).
3) Add transaction comments

And lastly (hard to implement) -- Encapsulate the Bitcoin protocol which Quark uses in TSL.

The no. of coins are good. If any crypto has to come close to the national currency (i.e. sum of all national currencies), it's number must be VERY large cause it's a HUGE economy. People don't like decimals.

Reason for 1) --

http://www.darkcoin.info/Block+reward

A shit coin.

If you launch a new altcoin and want to be taken seriously, then you should justify your design parameters. I cut and pasted this from your website, so I assume it's current:

    Darkcoin is based on Quark Code.
    Super secure hashing: 9 rounds of hashing from 6 hashing functions (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein). 3 rounds apply a random   hashing function.
    CPU mining
    Quick block generation: 40 seconds
    Block 1-10.000.000 will start from 1 to 1000 coins see Block reward for more information.
    1000 DRK per block (halving every 10.000.000 blocks)
    Block reward will never drop below 1 DRK
    Total of 100.000.000.000.000.000 DRK will be mined.
    Difficulty retargets every 20 blocks (maximum 10% up or 50% down)

What trades did you perform to arrive at these specs?

Why do people say "interesting" or "I will mine it"? This coin is just a QRK clone with ridiculous numbers. I don't think the creator though one second, what these numbers mean. "Hey, 100.000.000. öhm hm let's put another three 000. wow that is fun 000.000 coins".

It is interesting indeed because of you may know already btc has some kind of problem imaginary or not with it current  value per coin and many think we should start using mbtc in order for the coin to gain additional value.

A coin with such a ridiculous amount may be a solution to make the coin easier to use and more attractive.

So it is an interesting experiment , but nothing more than an experiment nevertheless :)

Right now I can nothing about c + + but I'm a quick learner :). Have looked through Quark code and my changes for Darkcoin is not that difficult to add. But there is still a lot to do myself so if anyone wants to help just let me know.


It's great to hear :). Hope we get the coin soon so you can get started.


Thank you mentioned it on COIN and CENT. Will check it out.

The large number I got from the theory that we do not get a higher population on Earth than 10 Billion and then I Multiply it with 1000.000.


Wonderful. Then we have a pool as soon as the code is getting ready.


It's better than nothing anyway :). Like to use the image if it is okay?


Okay take it off until you can scan through the code yourself.


One person has been in touch and offered assistance but other than that I'm completely self right now.

But as I said before, just let me know if you want to help.


Thanks, it is really appreciated.


Thank you mentioned it, now it's fixed.





Hope you got some answers to your questions :D.

to the watchlist >

- Gonna watch, don't fuck up OP.
- Why 40 sec blocks?
- Why so many coins? 100.000.000.000.000.000 WTF
- Not sure if success incoming. OP rethink your coin.

- I'll try to don't fuck up  ;)
- So it would go quickly for new blocks. Let me know if you have another suggestion and why.
- The large number I got from the theory that we do not get a higher population on Earth than 10 Billion and then I Multiply it with 1000.000.
-If Darkcoin succeed or not time will tell. If nothing else, it's fun and educational  8).

;D

Definitely decrease the total number of coins produced....

+1 for less coins

Here's another logo option for you  ;D

https://i.imgur.com/JtZ99gB.png

whats happening with this coin. ???

Will try to get it going in the next few days. Just have to learn how to get windows wallet to work.

^ o damn hes still alive rofl  ;D

Maybe 1k is a better number per person.

edit:  At first I thought your math was wrong but I guess you meant 1 mil per person.

I think it's cool that you tried to anticipate currency need for the entire planet but you should also bare in mind that by the time we have 10 billion people there will also be 10 billion alt coins lol.

 8)


Time will show how it goes.




If anyone wants to help with darkcoin let me know.

What do you need?

+1

Tell me what you can and/or want to help with. We'll arrange something.

2 things i don't understand...

• others are shouting for quadrillion amount of coins ?

At the same time they are ready to mine and trade coins which are infinity eg. Dogecoin , IFC , etc...

• They say they  already have mol,prt,frz,and etc which are quark clone

Btw have they ever seen the total number of scryptcoins and
have they ever realised all the cpu coins are mined ASAP and there block rewards will reduce to a significant amount  within months.
[/list]

i think its not that bad after all...

And people accusing its a scam , shit , bla bla....

Wonko86 just dont't care because they are always present at every ANN launch...and after a week they will be mining it...

Sounds like an interesting coin.  I'd be more than happy to help with a website, a logo, user assistance, compiling the linux side...

I've also been thinking about trying to set up a pool...maybe this is the kick in the arse to make me do it?  lol

when will this coin launch.  ???

When is the launch.

I can help with php/mysql if you need it.

Thank you. Trying to ignore all the negative comments. Have 3-4 other projects where I will use this coin, but first I need to create the coin.


It sounds great. Any help is welcome. The thread is already two proposals for the logo but i find none of them really good.


Will dedicate the entire next week for this. So hopefully sometime next week.


Sounds great, there's already a website but as I wrote earlier all help is welcome.[/list]

could you pm me if you get a launch date, i may attempt designing a logo if you want.

in my opinion people love a coin that has billions. who wants to mine 100 coins a day when you could mine 1,000,000.  8)

Here's my view of coin...

http://s28.postimg.org/vnb17i4l9/Untitled_1.jpg

And i think u definetly need a motto or a quote for your coin...
like Lottocoin's - A coin that games...
So...it will be easier to make a logo....

No offense , but it looks like somebody either puked or jizzed on that coin.

think i'll design a coin.  8)

So , another coin that died before being born?

dead and jizzed on lmao

It means they have nothing of value to say, and just want to be able to track the thread later.

This logo I like :) Thank you so much.

If anyone has a suggestion for the motto, I would be very grateful.


No darkcoin is not dead. It just takes a little longer. So be patient.

Is there any ETA yet?

100,000,000,000,000,000
This seems like alot?

My boyfriend always tells me how many coins there are. I thought the max was like 100,000,000,000?

okay, so we have merged XCoin and Darkcoin. You can find it here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0

we have not really mapped out the details yet but it will probably work out  ;D.

Interesting..

I'd like in.

I'm really digging this coin so far.  Difficulty seems to be about as consistent as a roller coaster, but it seems to adjust reasonably quickly in response to giant changes in net hashrate.

I did run into a problem with my pool of choice...  Does anyone happen to know how to contact the folks running the show over @ pool.darkcoin.io?  I've made quite a few attempts to contact them using the Contact tab of the pool website, but I haven't had any luck getting a reply.  >:(

what is wrong with the
http://cpu-pool.net/drk
???
I am mining there with 1mh for 5-6 hours and can see NOTHING on the balance :(
any ideas??

No darkcoin is not dead. It just takes a little longer. So be patient.
[/quote]

two weeks is another era in crypto times.
The little longer seems to be more like forever.

Hey guys I downloaded the Darkcoin GPU mining stuff from the announcement page.
Can someone write instructions or explain what I had to do to get it set up please!
I can't seem to figure it out.
 
Im running 5 280xs
 
Is the CPU miner the same as quarkcoin using minerd?
 
Thank you for any help!

Can anyone make a decentralized drugmarket/ exchange ?
Then Darkcoin will shoot up to 100m market cap.
I totally missed this boat :(. I'm now mining 50 coin per day.
