Just saw the news from Directbet, good job guys! Have a new article Wink

Nice work!  Thanks for that.

I'm sure the other sites will follow soon enough.

Just imagine what InstantTX is going to do to the gambling market appeal of Darkcoin.

Oh god I think I have hit rock bottom  Grin

I'm actually solo CPU mining Bitcoin in the hope that I'll "win the lottery" and make up for my losses this week.

Better than throwing money at gambling sites...  Smiley

Lol.  That depends on whether you win or not.  


We need that you lose, so that businesses that trust darkcoin thrive, and the ecosystem grows. Next time that you lose a bet think that your are helping a lot Smiley

That's a good point Fernando.  In that case....

Roll up roll up!  Play Stonehedge's provably unfair dice game!

Send 1,000 DRK the address below and think of a number between 1 and 6.  If its the number that I am thinking of, I'll send you 1,001DRK back.

Come one, come all...the more you wager the better it is for Darkcoin  Cheesy

SPR will grow bigger than bigger in the coming months. Grin
I believe much bigger than most people think to be honest
My exepected price of SPR is higher than DRK.
a lightweight whitepaper from somebody who is clearly a very talented developer.
How is the whitepaper lightweight???

did you read it? Tongue

I've just read it again and it says Spreadcoin  is a currency with no mining pools that has a smoother block reward decrease and a marginally streamlined transaction format.

What about this part? Does not sound lightweight to me, but I am not a programmer.

<cut from whitepaper>
To prove knowledge of the private key and whole block there are two new fields in the block header:
MinerSignature and hashWholeBlock.
MinerSignature is a digital signature of all fields of the block header except for the
hashWholeBlock. Changing any information in the block requires regeneration of this signature which
means that it is necessary to recalculate it during each iteration of the mining process. This implies that
miner must be able to sign any arbitrary data.
hashWholeBlock is a SHA-256 hash of the block data arranged as follows:
Padding ensures that there is no incentive to mine empty blocks without transactions. Padding values
are computed using simple algorithm which initializes last 32 bytes (8 uint32) with hashPrevBlock
and then goes backward and computes remaining uint32 values using the following recursive formula:
𝐼𝑖 = 𝐼𝑖+3 ∙ 𝐼𝑖+7. This algorithm ensures that there is no efficient way to compute padding values on the
fly during hash computation which otherwise could potentially give some advantage to mine empty
blocks in certain computing environments.
It is important that block is hashed twice. If it was hashed only once then pool could hash the beginning
of the block and send resulting hash state to the miners. Each miner would then modify some
information in the end of the block and recalculate the hash based on the known state without actual
knowledge about what is contained in the beginning of the block. Appending block data to itself make it
necessary to know the whole block to recalculate hashWholeBlock.
</cut from whitepaper>


That's a description of how one of the features is going to work.

Who knows. 

However the dev needs to come up with a clear development plan including future features and how he wants it to work.

Also, it probably wise at some point to have a independent person review the health of the mining environment and whether the decentralised approach has strengthened or weakened the coin in reality.

Finally, if the plan still is to implement masternodes and darksend then that infrastructure will need to be in place.

Once there is some substance to this thread who knows how high this coin could go?  Mr Spread has been quick to come to the DRK thread and point out coding inconsistencies and bugs but doesn't seem to be talking too much about plans and development on this thread.

I'm not trying to troll here.  I read this thread because I'm interested in the development of this coin but so far I have seen nothing that makes me want to buy in.  Nothing but vague statements and a lightweight whitepaper from somebody who is clearly a very talented developer.

Thank you Mr. Just Registered His Bitcointalk Account Today for your inciteful opinion.

However I don't think many people here give much credence to faggots who made their account today

So why don't you please fuck off back to reddit you fucking faggot

I've always wondered what gets you Hero Status.

Turns out that you must have to use homophobic language 9 times in one page.

Did your mother teach you to speak like that?

EDIT:  Or were you describing the term for a bungle of firewood?  Apologies if so, I'd hate it if I accidentally accused you of being a hate filled homophobe.

Do you think there could be some interest in these?

http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/flash-padlock-2-8gb-usb-flash-drive

I've bought several hundred of them (earlier versions) before through the same supplier and I wonder whether I'd be able to get a good bulk deal for Darkcoiners.

Guys I have great info Smiley
I`ve contacted Michelle from DirectBet about the drk volume.
Here is what they responded to me Smiley
------------------
Hi splawik21,

Greetings from DirectBet.

In regards to your question on DRK volume, it's too early to make a conclusion but so far this month Darckoin betting volume passed Dogecoin and Litecoin and is second to Bitcoin !

I'm sure the Darkcoin community will love to hear that so feel free to spread the word.

By the way, we are nominated for the 2014 Bitcoin Gambling Awards.

Please take a moment to vote for us :

Fernando:  In light of our earlier email conversation...this could be interesting news.

I'll vote for them if they give me some of my DRK back Wink

Guys for future reference, Terzo2 and yeXIABC are bots programmed to spam different threads automatically, they just use a dictionary with crypto like phrases and post randomly.

I only wished they would do some sort of AI. It would be funny as hell to reverse social engineer them.

Whats in it for the bot operators?   I don't get how mildly antagonistic nonsense benefits anybody....

Mature accounts with a high activity level can be valuable for people wanting to launch things and I guess it costs almost nothing...

I guess its the same principle as spam.  Spam enough people, the tiny percentage who are influenced make it worthwhile.

 WOW !!

 Congratulation to all our Cuban friends for this historic day!



Similarly, congratulations to our American friends for the same reasons!

1,529 Masternodes, looks like Otoh is not having much difficulty.

50 out of 100 up, the rest tomorrow Cool

if those 2 to 3k asks under 0.006 are still there, then I'll see about adding them too maybe Tongue


No wonder why my 2nd mn did not get paid over 3 days yet.

Don't forget how having Otoh on board is good for Darkcoin.  The more masternodes we have the more robust our anon is and the quicker ITX will run!  Smiley

Oh ffs :*(

I just got home to find that ~1000DRK is missing from one of my mac wallets with very strong passcode.

I lost ~6BTC by what I thought was a trojan recently too (windows PC).

I'm starting to freak out that my wifi has been compromised.  This is just fucking shit.  I've invested right up to the limit of what I can afford in Darkcoin and the last thing I need right now is to lose investments.  

Fuck this.  Fuck this.  Fuck this.

EDIT:  Removed tipping address through paranoia and revised lost amount down as realised that one of the wallets is in tact still.

Sorry to hear that, man. I hope that your experience will be a learning opportunity for you and other Darkcoiners that may not have the most secure set-ups on their computers..

EDIT: I'm not saying that YOU didn't have a secure set-up, BTW!  Wink

Thanks mate.  Although I obviously didn't have a secure set up.  

I'm just piecing things together but I think I just fell prey to a fairly simple trojan/keylogger.  The only reason I didn't lose the contents of all of my wallets is the fact that I had unique passphrases for all but the two that shared the same passphrase.  My AV says that it quarantined the file but that wasn't until after my BTC were stolen.

I'm not going to go into details on here but I'll be relocating my masternode wallets to an alternative and more appropriate location than a windows PC and insisting on using a unique passphrase for each one.

I'm licking my wounds but I'll be back.  I have an expensive few months coming up so I doubt I'll be able to spend any FIAT on darkcoin for a while but I'm going to see if I can earn as many bounties as possible and sell some "spare possessions" to see if I can make up for the loss.

5700 buywall on cryptsy

edit: otoh, can't you get enough drk?

Not me, though I was hoping to top up some under 0.006, seems will just have to earn them with MNs, back now at location 1 and about to fire a few up...

I  was hoping to be firing up two myself tonight Sad

Good luck with your masternodering!

I shit you not.  Bitcoin stealer.exe!!!

EDIT:  It was in temp internet files in IE.  I had literally never used Internet Explorer on this PC until last week when I had to because something I was using in Sharepoint for work wouldn't work in Chrome.
2218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX on: December 17, 2014, 06:09:24 PM
Was the PC on Windows?
Yes, soon to be resolved.  Well, I need to have windows for work but I'll work something out.

Try https://www.virtualbox.org/ on your linux pc.  You can create a small windows setup for work stuff.

Cheers, hadn't thought about doing it that way round. 

Having said that, I've got vmplayer installed with a few linux distros for testing purposes so probably not a huge leap in imagination required!

Eset has a file called "Bitcoin Stealer" in quarantine.  It was quarantined not long after I had my Bitcoins stolen.  Threat is called MSIL/TrojanDownloader.Agent.ZU

I thought it was a Mac... you said ±1k from Mac ??

You freaking me out bro.

No, lost 6BTC from Windows PC and DRK from Mac.

Cant you trace the payment trail?
[/quote]

What good does it do once the funds are darksended? Sure, you get the initial throw away addy, but after done 8 rounds, it's as good as gone.
[/quote]

If the coins aren't in my wallet and the transaction has been broadcast, they are gone.  That doesn't mean I'm not looking though.
