Yes, the older coin design is prettier, but the proposed new one would fit with the website 1000% better and would look way more professional.  Other sites can use the old color, and perhaps other pages - maybe the old one is best for press releases. But I like the current official page colors, and this proposed update to the coin.  Thanks raze, it's been bothering me too!

Did you finish syncing?  I'm sorry but I'm going to bed right now.  But unless you used up over 100 addresses, it should be there.  Make sure you finished syncing, make sure you're on the right fork?  Gosh, if you haven't paid attention to the hard forks of the past, it's possible you were mining on the wrong fork?  I sure hope not!

Ugh, this will be a very anxious week!

- RC3 (1000 DRK limit and denominated change) : May 21st
Or possibly a change of plans as InternetApe alluded to a new realization from Evan.  Might be built on denominated change or something entirely different?

Yaaay, page 1000

Well, I'm back to mining, computers upgraded (Ubuntu 14.04, hated 13.10, so I hope this will be better?)  Windows updated (been putting that off).  So now I'm at Darkcointalk.org mining. 

Anyways, I was wondering if there is anyway to test our masternodes to see if they're functioning correctly?

Obviously, there is a lot of support for P2pool bounties, we really need someone to help us out!  We don't want to lose P2pool for any length of time (though I know Evan will eventually get around to it)  It'd be great if we could get some help??

To be sure, i'll be crying my eyes out if I lose my coins, lol.  But a lady's gotta do what she's gotta do, LOL

Well, I honestly hope, for myself as well, that keeping my coins off line and all the other safety measures i took will make it pretty darn safe, but you never know?

Unless there is a hole somewhere, and there always are holes, it should be pretty safe.  There is risk in everything we do.

Yes, use the above version, as it was just posted by Evan today as a bug fix, and the guide should be the same.

Both of you should make sure you do this with a remote wallet so you can keep your coins safely in "cold storage" (save the .dat file with the coins in it on a jump drive off line.  Keep it safe!)

Hey everyone!  Hope ya'all had a great day!

Daddeo, RC2 is both on testnet and live.  Going through the thread just now, I see we had an update with RC2, so make sure you get the latest here:.... Ok, I see you found it, LOL

I don't think you can use windows yet, though you could try it???  Make sure you take steps to secure everything!

no worries, I learned my lesson the hard way!  LOL

chaeplin, you should see how crazy your pie charts look like on my touchpad, LOL.  No worries, though, my beloved touchpad is super obsolete, though I love it.  Lots of power no software :-(

AlexGR, the cool thing about Evan is he doesn't seem to care about dropping his previous work!  The second he sees a better way to do something, he just does it!  Old code out the window, on to better things.  There is a bit of danger in that we've bought into Evan as much as we have Darkcoin!. I'm counting on the masternode setup becoming attractive to other talented developers so Darkcoin can develop a pool of talent so we don't have to kidnap Evan and chain him to Darkcoin code the rest of his life, LOL

Please clarify for me:  Did you mean a feature where you could load different wallet accounts from an open wallet?  Or did you mean to merge two accounts?  I assumed you meant to switch wallet accounts on the fly in an open wallet.

I think he means it would be cool to switch wallets on the fly, instead of always switching out the .dat files manually.  I keep several wallets because I figure it might be safer.  If one wallet is cracked, it's only some of my coins i loose.  I keep my "current" wallet with a low number of coins because it's online most of the time, the others are in cold storage, except when i'm testing darksends or something

That would be a very cool feature!  I'm going to add it to the list of things to (maybe) do on our darkcointalk.org forum!  Thanks for that great idea!

done!

It may be actually better if Darkcoin implements things differently, and we get a successful CryptoNote coin as well because choices and competition are healthy, and there is an inherent level of safety in numbers if coins function differently, in that if one is somehow cracked, the other could continue on, keeping the private crypto currency goals going.

So which version of monero has the best developers and momentum now?  It's unfortunate they fell apart like that.  

I am really excited for the possibilities the infrastructure of Darkcoin's masternodes hold.  Because it's not just about having privacy, but being able to do things with your coin.  Waiting for a few stores to adopt the coins is going to take a long time, but a decentralized, secure auction site, or consignment site would be beyond awesome!  And I can see that happening in the not too distant future. I've got stuff I'd like to sell, but ebay and paypal take so much of your funds, it's highway robbery!  Even if there were a 1% charge for the use of the service that went to the masternodes, I wouldn't mind... heck, ebay charges insertion fees and almost 10 freakin percent!

Another cool thing is the possibilities should bring in new developers who could implement these new ideas for the masternodes as personal projects, and in so doing, will hopefully become familiar with Darkcoind and DarkSend, and getting a feeling of ownership and kudos, and possibly income from their creations (why not?  Like P2pool)  And having a stake in the continued success of Darkcoin, these developers would presumably become part of the team that continues to develop Darkcoin.

I just see an incredibly healthy ecosystem that could seriously go on into the deep future with this coin.  i'm super excited about it!

That'd be me!  I'm really good at losing coins!

I have to admit, it seems more decentralized than I thought it would

In case you didn't see it, I do want to apologize, I mixed you up with ac2 even so you look nothing alike!  LOL

Nah, I have no real idea, but I certainly let myself get infected.  My computer was not mining this morning and it was acting like I had both cpu and gpu running at max, and knowing the type of sites I've been going to lately, I figured I became a member of a botnet or something, LOL.  My computer is still scanning, I took it off line, not going to let them have access to whatever work my computer was doing, buggers! LOL

thought I was answering ac2, I think i quoted wrong thing, i'm not quick and am clumsy.  Please accept my appologies, eizh
