When the instant transaction go in place?
We are open sourcing Darksend next monday (US time), then the next project is instant transactions the dev team will be working on them and when they have a first version ready they will start a testing environment. So we don’t really know yet but I guess it will be at least a couple of months. A couple of months? I bet we'll have instant tx on testnet by mid October.  |

Not at all. I am not talking about RPC calls that need a specific port to be open or something.
I am talking about direct commandline communication between Frontend and darkcoind.
Frontend.exe and darkcoind.exe would best be in the same folder.
It's like when you type commandline commands by hand, but now the frontend.exe makes this for you (with the darkcoind running in the background invisible)
You still need to generate an RPC user/pwd and stick it in the conf file for that to work. At least I had to. |

That's basically what I did, but I used python to make the darkcoind calls:
Yes, I thought so.  The whole thing (including the toolchain) needs to be open source though for it to be trusted, not sure how Adobe stuff works on that front. And you'll need code of your own to keep the balance updated, load the transaction list etc. I've been tinkering with the Electrum-DRK client as it's in python (I can read c++ but I wouldn't trust myself to write it) but it uses a different backend (node.js or something I believe) so I'm kind of stuck between learning c++ properly to help with the official wallet, learning js from scratch to help with the electrum wallet, or doing my own thing...  |

There is QT Creator a similar thing to visual basic. You could definitely make the wallet look like those screen shots using it. Here's a link to a program written in QT. (just like the darkcoin wallet) https://amarok.kde.org/en/screenshotsEdit Edit: Here is the showcase for QT developed apps/gui's http://showroom.qt-project.org/Edit: Mmmm donuts... QT4 is going to struggle slightly with the some bits of the wallet design as it stands as posted above, but you could get pretty close. And QT designer is only like Visual Basic in that it produces truly horrible code - although actually it just produces XML, which when run through your UIC script produces truly horrible code. It's not the QT part that's difficult though, it's the C++ re-write of the existing wallet, which is going to be fairly major and needs someone pretty experienced. I'm actually hoping Evan and the team get stuck into Electrum-DRK first, it fits better with the whole MN system. I am an expert in creating Adobe Air/Actionscript Apps (also as standalone EXE/app that don't need to download any plugin) for windows and mac. (unfortunately not for linux (anymore) although there is a deprecated linux version for air available that is not being developped anymore: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/install-air-2-64-bit.html). I have 10 years experience. What I could do (although I don't know if this is reasonable security wise) is to create an app that communicates with the darkcoind (darkcoind runs in the background as service). So basically it will be like a frontend that when started, looks if the darkcoind is active, and if not starts it, and then makes API calls to it, and listens. That's why I asked for a client API call list yesterday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg8933337#msg8933337If the Darkcoin GUI is ready, I could create something like this pretty fast, I will probably not need more than a full weeks work for that. Should I give it a try? The awesome thing about that would be that I don't need to touch/change the darkcoind at all. It would do all darkcoin related things as it already does so well. So we don't have to debug two versions of the darkcoin software, just the darkcoind and the frontend separately. That's basically what I did, but I used python to make the darkcoind calls:  |

Actually I got confused between QT designer and QT creator, but the point stands...  |

Sh**t. Just read Paypal going full throttle into Bitcoin !!!!!!!!!! Perfect storm on the horizon: - Paypal - Winklevoss ETF completing regulatory transition towards or around the end of the year - Bitcoin has got through its "right-of-passage" phase (hammered by the media, hammered by hackers, hammered by competition - completely unscathed) - World Fiat currencies are reaching their sellby date due to massive debt overburdening = Japan, US, UK - Stockmarket 1-month MACD's crossing to the downside for the first time since 2012 - Spanish Government has just recognised Bitcoin as an electronic payment system - China-Russia axis getting ready to dump US TB's, all safety lights for them doing this now turning green due to them being bloated on Gold - Eurozone deflation: Mario Draghi says Eurozone recovery "run out of momentum" (if that's what he's saying in public then....  ) - Chinese Bitcoin ATM's commencing rollout with 2-way trading (fiat to BTC, BTC to fiat) Make no mistake: A few alts will benefit HUGELY from a major Bitcoin revaluation and DRK's got its act in gear timed to perfection in order to be one of them. Strap yersells in ! When paypal (and therefore ebay) start accepting BTC fully, Amazon will be next, and fast. Then the avalanche. I'm not sure Russia/China will be dumping $ bonds just yet though unless the Obama's warmongering puppet masters push them one step too far - they have the US by the balls and have only just started squeezing, when they've crushed 'em to paste, then it's going to rain screaming Western banksters. Scraping dead suits off the pavement will be a whole new job sector.  Ultimately, energy is king, and the Rockerfellers are getting out of oil - wonder why eh? Mind you, ebola could get us all first. Interesting times... |

As one of my first Darkcoin Foundation initiatives and in the spirit of RC5 (it sure is great to have anon coins at the ready to use whenever you want!) I want to announce the: Minotaur Labyrinth - Darkcoin Giveaway Contest. with a prize of 26DRK . Participants must be newcomers to Darkcoin, no known trolls, no known supporters or brand new accounts. All you have to do is answer two questions here in the forum: Why should someone invest in Darkcoin? How Darksend works? I will take known supporters opinion as to which is the best answer and pick a winner. Feel free to be creative but your answer must make sense, lets have some fun. Important: It is not officially open yet, at this point I would like some feedback from known supporters, what do you think of the idea and do you have any rule suggestions? If the idea has good acceptance we will officially open the contest in a couple of hours. You will know for how long it will be running and when the winner would be picked. Let me know what you guys think, is this something you would like to do? We could do more contests like this later for other things too. Edit: how about post a screenshot of your 1.1 dark anonymised and tells us what you think and get 1.1 drk payment. ie. double your money. bump Difficult to rule out known/supporter/trolls from puppet accounts. Hmm. Also for them to try it out would require at least 1.1 drk? Although i suppose people could try it on testnet. Nice idea but gets complicated. OK, my intention was to give away 26DRK to newcomers to help introduce new people to DRK and have them try Darksend. What do you suggest would be the best way to do that? Any ideas? Give it to redheads who take a selfie holding up a sign saying, "I love Darkcoin, and thelonecrouton is awesome!"  |

hey guys...
I am thinking about creating a mascot for darkcoin... sort of an animal like creature.
What are animals who are commonly associated with darkness or hiding, etc?
Bat.
Mole. (creates tunnels, etc..)
what other creatures can you think of?
Fuck bats and moles. Go with the hyena or the honeybadger. |

first I need to know if there is an update then download the binary. apt-get makes this automatic so I do not need to look for the updates of all my software on my computer. That's why I'm waiting for an official DRK wallet repo for ubuntu. I'm using linux mint but it uses ubuntu repos, an ubuntu package repo (They are know as PPA) will make it easier for a lot of users.
Many packages in official repos are often months out of date. I wouldn't count on the repo maintainers to give any priority to darkcoin builds. |

My 45 DRK sits on cryptsy. I'd like to have them on a local wallet but I need ubuntu .deb package to install the wallet. I think I'll wait for the open source full release version, after that there should be official packages for major linux distros. I can download the sources and compile myself but with those fast new releases it'll take too muck time updating wallets.
Another question for the devs: will there be official packages like ubuntu, debian, redhat etc..? We need an easy way to install wallets on linux.
No! I'll not touch anything money related on windows.
On the 29th you'll have the source, you can compile it on anything. In the meantime you can use the linux binaries here: https://www.darkcoin.io/getstarted.html ...or here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc5-testing.2245/page-48#post-21678I know there are linux binaries but updating will be time consuming. I'd like a official ubuntu repo for binaries that can be updated with a single apt-get update command. Now I have very little DRK, only 45 so I can leave them on exchange site. I'm a small miner and I'm mining on multipools and buy DRK with BTC. My rig makes about 0.003BTC a day. Time consuming? Download, make executable, run. Probably quicker than apt-getting. |

Next 5 unique posters with no quote block or quoted text of any kind, get 1 free DRK each. You'll have to PM me your receive address tho... Even if it's shojayxt.
shojaxt is back in the secure ward after cutting himself again yesterday. edit, Darksend fairly whizzes along on main-net. |

That link works, but the one I quoted above does not... Odd. Mangled Bleu didn't copy the link properly. |

It's kind of spooky... - no trolls - no fuss - no panic ... just doesn't feel right, far too quiet... |

Everybody should update their Wallet ?!
MN or not, correct ?
Yes, correct. darkcoin.io has the latest wallets, and the OP here points to them, but the red "latest..." bit in the OP needs updating, if anyone has Evan's ear. |
