Evan, you want the debug.log? (even if I don't see anything "special")
Is there a way to increase trace level?
Naw, the debug I need would be on your peers. I'm compiling a new version, we'll see if that works. On drk.mn the whole hour it was up, my MN had 'active duration' 1s - but I don't know if that's an issue with the site scripting or with the MN pinging the network when launched then not talking anymore? |

Do you pay for most of your food and other essential goods and services in BTC or fiat?
Garbage fiat obviously, I'm keeping my DRK, BTC, and shiny metal as long as I can.  |

Deleted peers dat local and remote, installed 16.7 local and remote, started MN from local qt, fine, ran masternode start on remote, got 'masternode started remotely' - so far so good... |

Updated my MNs yesterday night, stopped and restarted masternodes from local wallet, checked they were online, all good. Wake up to see they are all not showing up in any list whatsoever, have to restart from local wallet. Kind of annoying, wish there was a way to know how to prevent this or automate them restarting correctly.
Can you do a "getpeerinfo" and send me the results (from the hot node)? evan@darkcoin.ioSent. |

I'm still waiting for Tesco to get with the times. They practically have their own whole financial ecosystem already, Tescocoin is all but a formality. |

For anyone who wants a simple MN (or any wallet for that matter) monitoring tool, SMUT does the job, as well as updates / helps install your MN(s). https://darkcointalk.org/threads/free-smut-simple-masternode-update-tool.2700/ - latest version is v44, link at end of thread. It's basic but I find it useful. You'll need python installed. I think the output formatting is a bit wonky on Windows, I don't use Windows so don't really know, but it might be of use to you. Also if someone could send me a screenshot of what it looks like on Win I might be able to fix it. |

I just bought 1.8 BTC on Coinbase, I hope DRK stays low enough until Thursday so I can get the last 250 I need for a MN! Stupid Coinbase wait times  Do you need 205 drk??? I have  You mean to sell?
I see an emerging futures market here. If only DRK had the ability to lock transactions for an arbitrary amount of time, eh? Oh wait- --instantxdepth=n // where n=as-many-or-as-few-blocks-as-you-like

If I could pick a coin thats out today that might be worth $50 in the future I would pick Dark coin. Just because its been added to those underground drug market sites. One of those sites that takes Dark is now Silk road 3. So all those n00bs that found out about the Darknet from the news last week might say "hmm I better buy some of that dark coin for an extra layer of security".
When the first Silk Road was busted the escrow wallet had 30,000 BTC, thats only a weeks worth of sales, and that was a year ago. More and more people are finding out there's an Amazon for illegal goods and they are signing up. If DRK can cut into 5%-10% of that or more it could go to da moon.
Its the only coin other than BTC that I hold and put away.
My sig gives away my position... but I hold that position in part for the above reasons. (The other part is the open and transparent nature of Darkcoin's development, and the obvious talent of the dev, who also, amazingly, is a real person, not just some internet twerp with a silly username.) Sooner or later the BTC zealots are going to get the message that BTC and whichever crappy mixing-service-that-hasn't-run-off-with-the-money-yet this week just doesn't cut it for dark markets. De-pseuodnonymising BTC addresses is getting easier all the time. There's a place in the world for the transparency of Bitcoin, and a place for the opacity of Darkcoin. Public and Private. And built on the same API. I don't see a lot of use for anything else. |

That's bogus, Disney is going with Rainbowcoin. |
|
|

First time I've ever thought of leaving DRK.
Really? I would have sold my remaining rigs and bought more DRK right away. |
|
|
|
Ahaha, for just a moment... |

masternode count 1. only me. have to wait some time I guess?
On what version? the latest 0.10.16.6 85.14 - that you pille? Tell you MN to push out the goddamn blockchain a bit faster eh?  |
|
|
|
Well initial impressions on new version - no signs of being a CPU or RAM hog. Yet.  |

BTC and most PoW alts have blockchains that are effectively controlled by 3,4, maybe 5 people. Calling this 'decentralised' is a joke.
Centralised mining pools are a complete perversion of Satoshi's vision. They do not 'secure the network' they just provide convenient points of failure for attackers to exploit.
Anyone so inclined could destroy BTC by the simple coercion of 3 individuals whose identity is widely known. This is not security, it's a liability. BTC could be completely tanked for under $10000, depending on how many plane tickets the bad guy had to buy to kidnap the children of those 3 people.
Mention this fact to miners though and you just get a froth of entitled rage, and nonsense about 'biting the hand that feeds you.' You don't need petaflops of compute power to process a few transactions per second and write them to the distributed ledger.
Distributed PoW has value, centralised pools provide none.
If a coin uses PoW, p2pool should be mandatory.

Lol you're talking as if I could just decided and start forking the network..
You could, or you could be coerced into doing so, or for example some employee at the datacentre could be bribed into restarting your pool servers with malicious code replacing your existing code, etc. Are you aware you need at LEAST 51% to do that? Are you aware that i'm nowhere near that 50%?
You are wrong. Less that 51% still causes problems, >51% just guarantees success. If anything, we help the darkcoin blockchain stay strong against 40gh/s hammers moving around such as waffle and god knows what other pools (the unknowns). I doubt its the p2pool at 1% of the hash who will protect it from any fork.
As of right now, we have a use wether you like it or not.
I have never questioned your personal integrity, I am merely pointing out your vulnerability, which is a vulnerability to everyone who owns DRK. You can keep whining, this won't make us go away nor help your cause. In society, you sometimes have to work with other peoples towards greater good, which you're not.
You and moli can keep bitching about me all day long on IRC, ditto. You're biting the hand that feeds you at the moment, yet again.
You don't feed anyone but yourself. If you cared about the security of the blockchain, you wouldn't be running a centralised pool. None of your points stands yet because since the beginning we have been supportive and complying with the darkcoin community to all extents. If you are to pick a target, at LEAST pick up some that is not trustworthy or not cooperating as much as they should be. We're always one of the fastest, if not the fastest pool to upgrade it's daemons at every update.
I don't think my point has been understood by you, much less addressed. You are in denial about the basic risk that you pose to the network. Edit; crouton you the almighty, why don't you just come up with the code to make the standard pools p2pool? I'm all ears, bring it we'll try it Here you go: https://bitbucket.org/dstorm/p2pool-drk.git - let me know when you're done, I'll point my rigs your way. |

|

And singling out suchpool when they updated quickly a few times now doesn't help anything.
The fact that they can be singled out is kind of the point. |

Stop thinking in what ifs... see this as I am a town mayor, citizens elected me (by coming into our pool) to represent them. Our track record is mint, so why are you wasting your time bothering us when there is bigger and potentially harming fish to fry? Spare your time, leave us the fuck alone Why would I be intentionally killing the blockchain? Are you retarded? Probably an unstable individual like you, in my position, would do so. I just won't. Are you trying to push me to do so? Won't work. Either way, you're the kind of guy that will ever be complaining about something or another, so I'm getting used to your whining. Sure, wishful thinking is a great way to implement security! Bad things never happen, why worry about it? Anyone who thinks having their finances completely at the mercy of a few people on the intertubes is a problem must be unstable! |

@lonecrouton, having only masternodes will highly centralize dark. There is thousands of miners, vs a thousand and some masternodes. Centralisation.
 You are a fucking moron. (In case anyone is unaware, louiseth1 is one of those 3 people, running suchpool.) Yes with 1000's of miners behind it.. it's not ME mining all those blocks myself, you seem to forget that with your closed vision. I just help all those miners to get together and enjoy a smooth platform. There were a lot of organic pools before, but most of the big ones have fell off, and the users came to ours. We've been honest with the community and true supporters of darkcoin since its early days. Your point is just not constructive and plainly stupid. At least on my darkcoin pool, the miners WANT to mine darkcoin. I deliver straight to the darkcoin community. In the case of waffle, its just rape n dump as the miners don't care about anything else than bitcoin. That's what should be avoided. It doesn't matter how many miners are 'behind it' - they are all under your control, and you could either choose or be coerced into vandalising the blockchain, forking the network, crashing the price of DRK, basically killing the coin. Such an event would fuck all of us up, and pools like yours make it a dirt cheap possibility for any attacker. They don't need to spend millions on hardware to screw the newtwork, they just have to find you. Look outside, it's an ugly world and people get killed every day for far less than the matket cap of DRK. Hoping that it will never happen is not a plan. I have nothing against mining, I mine on p2pool, always have, but centralised pools are a huge liability. Could you not make suchpool a p2pool node instead? Most of your miners would never know the difference and you would actually be helping to secure the network. At the moment, you're not, you're just a centralised point of failure. Darkcoin right now (most cryptocurrencies right now) is NOT decentralised, we and other currencies have no right to call ourselves decentralised when a handful of people are in control of the blockchain, it's a complete lie. Everyone panics about small theoretical flaws in the Darksend protocol while ignoring the giant security flaw with centralised PoW...  |

If DRK had a counterparty component, we would have the grounding for anonymous DRK contracts - the price of each DRK would go to $30 in about 2 weeks.
Counterparty is open source and as far as I can tell kinda justa an extension of the Bitcoin API. I am thus wondering how hard a port would really be...? Hell we could use a Counterparty wotsit like SWARM to manage the fundraiser... I dont really get what Counterparty is all about... well, I do in basic terms, but not entirely. Like I get one can create a layer over the BTC blockchain, much like colored coins... but I dont get all the hype or the real value to it. Even though its been pitched a half dozen times per show. As far as I can tell, Counterparty is a decentralised gambling "financial asset" exchange/platform that stores records of users bets "investments" on the BTC blockchain. In order to generate the XCP tokens used, BTC was burned. And beyond that it's voodoo to me too...  |
