cool, first trades!
Haha, all me.. I sold 0.00001 DRK @ 0.003 HI AlexGR!! Lol, we made the first tx  |

cool, first trades!
I bought a fraction of a DRK for 0.003  |

I just logged in to mintpal. The leftover dark that I had left is still there. But can't place order or withdraw yet  I did click on withdrawing DRKs but it shows "awaiting confirmation" because it never sent the email. And there is no button to resend the email (or I'm not seeing it). |

my only problem with that rocket ship is that it should be pointed east at a 45 degree angle for the gravity burn to get into orbit or it will loose all its delta V and just fall back to earth.
Maybe i play to much Kerbal Space Program though
Shouldn't the problem be that Space Shuttles weren't intended to go to the moon?  |

I don't want to troll but X11 is really raped by FPGAs now. Small frys like us don't have chance to be profit @ X11 anymore.
Raped? Block reward is up to 7 and 8 right now instead of 5 due to low diff (2k). 148135 < 1 second 6 491.34467274 DRK 2073.4 Mining Pool Hub 148134 4 minutes 2 44.39215212 DRK 2034.8 WafflePool 148133 4 minutes 6 117.50248769 DRK 2138.4 Such Pool 148132 9 minutes 2 15.776 DRK 2186.8 Unknown 148131 13 minutes 4 58.34790826 DRK 2439.0 Mining Pool Hub 148130 20 minutes 5 114.21186935 DRK 2392.5 Such Pool 148129 25 minutes 1 7.0 DRK 2379.3 Such Pool 148128 25 minutes 2 26.447 DRK 2177.8 Mining Pool Hub 148127 25 minutes 3 13.68497229 DRK 2237.4 Unknown 148126 29 minutes 1 8.0 DRK 2076.6 Unknown Think this is mostly enforcement related? From what I see, four hours ago (pre-enforcement) it was still giving 7's & 8's. 148053 3 hours 58 minutes 1 7.0 DRK 2448.6 Multipool.us 148052 3 hours 59 minutes 2 12.43679671 DRK 2429.9 Such Pool 148051 4 hours 1 8.0 DRK 2438.4 Such Pool 148050 4 hours 1 minute 1 7.0 DRK 2139.0 Unknown It's probably related to power costs and BTC prices (which affect DRK/$ ratio to some degree) that forced some miners with high electric costs to switch off. |

Everybody is assuming a rational market, with rational players, that value actual costs and ROIs, when in reality there are hundreds of thousands of BTCs hacked and on the loose with zero cost of acquiring them - thus liquidation is not an issue @ $300 or below. It's not like the hackers are selling "below mining cost" or something. |

X11 Mining Optimisation ProjectHi all, I've been in discussions with a couple of very talented OpenCL (AMD) and Cuda (Nvidia) developers who both think there are decent optimisations to be had from spending some time on existing mining software. Both have done similar projects for other coins, and, lets just say there was a large gap in the reward vs effort spent on these optimisations. There was a bit of reluctance from both developers to spend huge amounts of time on this. So I thought about a crowd funding exercise, similar to the way we've funded other projects which have been of benefit to the DRK community. How many of you would be interested in showing a little support with some DRK, along side myself, to give a nice boost to both AMD and Nvidia mining for x11? In a similar fashion to the Kristov Atlas review, the more we can raise, the more time can be spent on this exercise. Nothing formal has been set-up at this stage, I'm really just gauging people's appetites for improvements on the mining software, if we all think this is a good idea I'll set-up an address and we can get the ball rolling.  Perhaps CPU optimization should also be allocated some funds. I remember there were significant gains from version to version until the GPU client came out and CPU work essentially stopped. |

Enforce p2pool. With Masternodes as p2pool nodes. No more bad pools, no more 51% attack, guaranteed decentralisation.
Can I make an ordinary pool and then forward my hashrate to p2pool masquarading as an individual? If yes, it can be bypassed. |

My 2 duffs for development priorities:
1. Leave the MN payment formula as it is right now. No need for tampering it...
2. Provide strong IP obfuscation - or TOR-merging, so that DRK is usable for "fund Snowden" type of stuff. If DRK doesn't do it, clones will. "We have DarkSend plus IP obf".
3. Find a way (or outsource) a solution to get back to MN payments at a protocol level, without workarounds and without forking.
4. Wallet stuff / visual improvements.
5. Instant TXs
(some could be worked in parallel)

You're only half right - it's unavoidable that some people will get an unfair advantage. What is CERTAINLY not unavoidable is them getting a MASSIVE unfair advantage.
Massive is like 300-500-1000%+. Getting double digit % is not massive. When DRK was started (after two weeks or so), a very large cpu farm started mining with tons of hashpower creating suspicions for GPU mining on the loose. That's when a bounty of 3000 DRKs was issued to create a GPU miner which then got gradually improved as time went on. The first software step was ~50% IIRC and then it got less. The same happened with the first NVIDIA miners which came out slower and then got faster. The code is open so anyone who wants to improve it and has the necessary skills, can. And those who have money can also invest in FPGA programming and then invest more money into FPGA optimization. And those who have even more money, like government agencies for example with unlimited budgets, can create ASICs. Mining isn't fair, not in the real world regarding gold mining (some are mining by weight separation of gold/dirt, others are mining with cyanide etc), not in the virtual world where the capabilities of each one are different. |

Mindfox. I have stood behind you from day 1. Respond. Period. I have always been told "never trust a greek". My current greek girlfriend even says it jokingly. Please don't give me reason to actually believe this. Now is the time to step up and talk. I don't care if you are not going to be part of this coin. Just be a man/woman and be honest with us. We have put our hard earned dollars into this. We aren't all crypt coin traders who were lucky with bitcoin. So let's hear it. I won't hate you and the community won't hate you if this project is something you are no longer involved in. Just please settle my soul and don't let my GF be right on this one. I ALWAYS tell her it's nonsense.
waiting....
edit: also realize your response may have ramifications on how I view my current SO!
Given that he was quite talkative in the past, I tried to understand his position and I think I may have a glimpse on it: He is probably locked in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation: - if he responds and says he quit due to X reasons, then he'll be blamed for people responding like "oh no the coin is dead" and the price crashing to zero. - if he doesn't respond, he'll still be blamed for not responding. |

The way this is traded makes me fucking sick. You dumpers are fucking scum.
DRK liquidity is shit-tier. 7000-8000 coins knocks the price of the coin 5%! What kind of weak investors/traders/liquidity providers do you have here? Eh? BTC has 3x coin supply yet if you dump 21.000-24.000 BTC the effect on price will be "somewhat" larger. We also saw what happened after the FBI announced the 30k auction (mere announcement = -7.15%). |

I'm confident the entire reason BCX wants to "bet" is to pay for the hash power required to attack the coin. The reason he hasn't (seemingly) tried is probably because he doesn't want to expense it.
So no, Risto's refusal of the bet would have little to do with his confidence in Monero and everything to do with him not wanting to directly fund its attack.
Couldn't he fund the attack with the mined (&dumped) XMRs that he is mining or does the TW attack require him to waste the mining power? |

Sorry guys for the stupid question but what is the advantage of knowing the source code  So millions of shitcoin clones can be created Seriously though, it provides huge confidence since everyone can review the code. I think it is important to point out that the majority of the Darkcoin code has been open source for some time. Today is significant because Darksend is being open sourced (the primary mechanism for handling anonymity). I stand to be corrected but everything else, including masternode code has been open source for months. Today is about gaining the trust of those who could benefit from Darkcoin payment systems by revealing to them how it works. The other significance about today is that today is the day that the dev team are confident to say that Darkcoin and Darksend have been tested and thoroughly bug squashed and are no longer release candidates. After today's announcement, Darkcoin can be considered freely available consumer technology for adoption by those who choose to adopt it I believe there are few pending issues, like the MN payment protocol which can be improved upon and we'll also have to see how the DarkSend operation withstands tampering attacks of the software, which will now be open-source. This could uncover a few bugs down the line. |

Cryptocurrencies are weird animals, as far as markets are concerned. There is a great degree of anomalous behavior that allow the markets to behave in a less "rational" and predictable manner.
With hundreds of thousands of BTCs hacked and on the loose, a single hacker can crash the price for the lulz by dumping a small percentage of his holdings, and make everyone wonder "is it the Alibaba? Is it price stagnation? Is it something else? Why is someone selling below mining costs?" when the accrual of hacked BTCs might have come at zero cost for him - so he can dump at will, without much price consideration... any price is good as far as he's concerned.
Most analyses overlook that aspect, expecting the market to be 100% "rational", which it would be if every player had a normal accumulation cost and a normal exit strategy / trading strategy.
This was further highlighted with the altcoin exodus a few weeks back when -what I suspect were hacked BTCs- were pulled out of altcoin investments with totally irrational liquidation prices.

What the holy funk just happened?
THAR BE WHALES IN DEM DARK WATERS!!! What am I missing? Price just rocketed but only 10BTC buy? Strangely massive candle of cryptsy too... 10k DRK buy... |

1. The investment crowd now knows that devs without their own anon solution = incompetent. Clonecoins do not have traction these days. Innovation is rewarded more by the markets, compared to clonecoins with* or without tweaks. 2. The masternode network of DRK has significant value invested on it and it can't be easily replicated. A cheap clone cannot offer sockpuppet resistance as well as the expensive DRK network. If you can buy hundreds of masternodes for peanuts, their network would almost be DOA for anonymity. 3. The faster a clone coin arrives at the scene, or adopts DarkSend, the bigger the indication that the clonecoin dev is some kind of incompetent dev & scammer (he wouldn't even have time to examine the code for how it works). * Possible DarkSend tweaks: Increasing mixing rounds to 10, peers to 5 from 3, integrating TOR out of the box etc etc. This is definitely going to provide positive stimulation for Darkcoin as well by seeing various parameters related to anonymity getting tweaked. |

The best "crowd" to "train" are young tech-savy people (teenagers+). They'll need ...zero training as they figure out everything, just as they did with dogecoin. We need to merge BTC with the millions of online gamers. Games where people can win BTC through their gameplay or pay with BTC for advanced game priviledges, or transact with BTC between each other for exchanging items, accounts etc. These young people also tend to have GPUs and thus can become indirect BTC miners through GPU multipools.
