I am sure this scheme would win a lot of legitimacy should DRK join... which in turn would make DRK lose ALL of its own completely.  

Or how does the saying go: It's dangerous to swim near a drowning person!

Indeed, a conf file is not needed then.

Highly interesting.
I was thinking about the spork earlier today... it there a tech paper that explains what a spork is and does on a technical level? Pros + cons?
I mean I believe I know what it general does and how it works, but am missing a tech paper about it. (can somebody point me to it if it exists?)

Don't bother talking to him like he's a normal person.
He came here, bragging that he dumped because of a completely ridiculous reason, and now he is threatening (lol) us with even more dumps, ... he is obviously an attention whore like any other troll we have seen here.
If you see someone expressing all the traits of an obvious troll there is only one thing to do.  

lol..., I wonder who gave them the idea?  
He is called DARKMAN to be specific...

That is so nice of you to say.... please if you have a cryptsy account use my trade key to send me any crypto of your choice:
846487fe403416dd3bbf917637e676d9bd4ec8ff

I really appreciate it.

As the recent hacker demonstrated so well...  

Would be great if we had someone join the team (and holding DRK) instead of exploitative hackers who just want to see how much damage they can cause...

Well, it came out when he recently addressed the hacker...


I am a programmer myself, and I say from experience that 4 eyes see more than 2 eyes, 2 brains try more things out and anticipate more things than just 1 brain...
That's just the way it is.

Also, please understand that I do not care what eduffield "wants" at this point. I don't even understand why you have to ask this question.
Even if evan were AGAINST new core devs coming to darkcoin (which ofcourse he isn't ) we would want other people to join nonetheless.
This is the open source collaboration era, you don't ask for permission, you just contribute or not.
And if the new code is valuable it will be added to the next version.

I truly hope we will soon have additional core devs, this will push darkcoin to the next level.
The whole point of going open source was to attract more core devs, that's ultimately what's needed to build confidence.
What good is open source code when there are no OTHER qualified code devs taking the time to actually look at the code?

who do I have to thank for the 500 WKC donation? 

I really enjoy creating GIFS for wankcoin:

So please donate: 184ACvxFodZatrAvQFJHyUpGFZAg5MGviH

Thanks in advance.

Also: I created a slightly updated version of the GIF, where you see the wankcoin logo travel further into space once it has destroyed the moon:



Because in the previous GIF it looks like the fist destroys the moon but disappears in the explosion...  

Absolutely. (your long list is mainly not about core devs, but rather python, java, ruby, php etc ports and extensions)

As far as I know, eduffield is the only programmer working on the most important part (everything else is derived from): the darkcoin-core (C++, Qt).

What I am missing is evan duffield listing all technical skills necessary to do his job, sort of like a recommendation so that other programmers know what is needed to accomplish the task.

Everybody.

Eduffield needs help. We can't continue having him as the one central guy who has to fix and update the code all the time.

We need to attract more programmers, possibly even better more experienced programmers than eduffield himself.

Therefor I was thinking about what a job announcement would look like if we wanted to attract more programmers who could work on the darkcoin-core (C++, Qt).

What skills are we talking about here.

1) Well versed in C/C++
2) Ability to understand and program in concurrency ways.
3) Understanding old and new principles of cryptography
4) Experience in multiclient network programming (this includes multiplayer games, etc...)

what else is needed, or better yet, what would I (as an average programmer) need to learn to be able to help the darkcoin network get better?

What would you add, evan?


Also, don't feed the trolls evan! Feed the hackers!

Yes, but Darkcoin Darkhydrogen works for me. (remember, no space between dark and hydrogen, it's DARKHYDROGEN)
Much like Darkcoin DarkVertoe works for me... but Darkcoin Vertoe is just wrong... because we are not talking about the user.

Alice: What kind of Version have you installed?
Bob: DarkHelium. And you?
Alice: I still have DarkHydrogen... shit...

Confusion would arise if we kept the Dark-prefix away. As can be easily demonstrated by using the first proposal (Versions should be named after members of the Darkcoin community)

Alice: What kind of Version have you installed?
Bob: Vertoe. And you?
Vertoe: What? I haven't done anything wrong...
Alice: I told you we shouldn't get rid of the prefix... the version is called DarkVertoe.

Darkcoin is the name of the currency, of the network, of the system itself.
Much like Mac is considered the name of the computer, but the system Versions are called MacOsX Tiger, or MacOsX Leopard.
Nobody says: do you have Mac MacOsX Leopard installed?

True, ... who knows... in 1 year maybe it's not even called Darkcoin anymore, lol... it started with XCoin, remember?
Though it gets more complicated the more adoption a name gets to suddenly change it.

Not sure who would like to squeeze Cam's left nut so much, his enemies or his friends?

Good idea, which gives myself an idea.
I wonder what timezones the most darkcoiners live in... I will create a graph distribution based on all posts ever made (and their UTC times)

so far, the second best idea. 

Please create a poll, coins101, you are good at it.

We have quite a few ideas already. Let the people vote.

Might work, but might also cause disputes and hurt feelings, lol...
When I created the top 50 list I remember receiving a few emails asking me "why, oh why didn't you put my name on the list???" HAHAHA,
