I would like to thank Evan personally for granting me the opportunity to retire at young age through his amazing work.

This is the email I sent to announce my retirement:
Hi guys,
Just a quick FYI: I'm leaving the company in 3 months (30 September final working day).

Reason is basically that I got very lucky with an investment I made in February this year which has taken away financial pressure and has given me the opportunity to try to follow my dreams.

I have mixed feelings as I love my job and I love working for this company, but it feels like it is something I have to do.

Until I leave, I will continue to give my best.

Thank you,
XXXXXX XXXXXXX

 PS I'm still holding my coins and will continue to do so until DRK has overtaken Litecoin.

LOL !!!  that's the point where I start dumping
(see sig)

I guess I should define "rich". I'm talking about parties that deal in Billions & have the power to write laws in their favor. Parties who tell governments what to do. Agencies that have literally unlimited money. Remember the 2 trillion that Mr. Cheyney announced was missing on sept 10th ? There is so much corruption in our global system & many want to keep it that way.

But I'm also not listed in Chaeplin's page under sv03 column   http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html

Is that his problem or mine ?

What do those sv03 columns mean anyway ? Is that each one of his daemon's looking for and detecting other masternodes ? Do we need green lights in each column ?

Hi

I'll ask this again and see if I get any more luck. Sorry if it's been discussed:

What do the "drkmn01... drkmn06 etc" columns mean in this page...  https://elbzo.net/masternodes.html

My masternode is going progressively unlisted and I don't know why. 2 days ago it was unlisted in one column, now it's unlisted in 7 and I haven't done anything. (Upgraded just before the weekend).

Thanks for any hints.

Darkcoin threatens many very wealthy & powerful parties who are used to quietly & efficiently eliminating threats against them. I'm sure there is more going beneath the surface that we can't see. I believe in the dev team & what they are doing so I'm holding. The price can't fall forever.

Sure, just the address you specify.
listaccounts
for each then
getaddressesbyaccount

and them dump the privkeys

also good as an offline backup

Just wondering after seeing rich list again
http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-darkcoin-addresses-2.html

1/ There are only 921 adresses with 1,000 DRK or more. Only 200 with 2,000 DRK or more.

An address can have many multiple of 1,000 DRKs, but we can expect that most of Darcoiners with more than 2K have already set up their Masternodes ! It would be interesting to know what kind of investors are contracting Ghostplayer or ozziecoin now to help them setting up a MN (1 MN max or still 5 MN in an row)

So can we conclude there will be no more than 1,000 Masternodes in 2 months, and will hardly increase now ?

Except if something like a pool exist. And not sure it will be really used, because only 14% of  DRKs left, and whales are still accumulating each day. 14% is something like 500 000 coins, and they are used for trading or speculating, so it will be unlikely to reach 100 MN more with a "pool" program.


2/ Is there a plan to consider MN like a "Token", an "asset" we could trade like Ghask on cex.io or in Nxt and Counterparty Assets Exchanges ?

My point is If MN are earning 25%/year (replace if incorrect), it could become one of the best investment outside cryptoland.
You can easilly beat 25%/year with trading, so we are not talking about cryptotraders rushing to acquire MN, but you can't either beat a 25%/year in a program, speculation apart.

You would argue that the variable is the volatility but with 86% of the coins owning to whales and little by little blocked in MN, i don't expect anything expect a steady rise.

There are hundreds of millions injected in online HYIP program, most of them still attracting people with other forms of "anon" payments (egopay...). The ROI from MN is better than HYIP programm ones. Most of them are although scam and ponzi, unlike DRK MN which are tangible assets ! Furthermore, it is not day-trading, you have nothing to do and you can easily pay someone to update - if needed.
You are not giving your money to someone else, you are not risking your capital. You are not buying miners instead which can be obsolete.

And we are sure there will be other uses and more earnings, like fees on a darkmarket, etc.
You even can mine with the VPS.

The only requisite to attract online investors inside and outside cryptoland would be to treat MN as an asset, with a very clear online program, like Cex.io with hashrates.

Evan has found the new way to incentive people to pay and set up servers, with unlimited opportunities and earnings.
The value of DRK is not in anon. features, neither in RC3-4-X news, but in this proof of service, and DRK is far ahead from clones on that point. No clone has seen this, they are still trying to find anon.features...

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised there are still 500 or so Masternodes online. 1 DRK per day is nothing -- NOTHING -- for having 1000 DRK tied up. And if you're paying for server fees and such, it's even worse. I don't know who would run a MN that costs probably $10-$20 per day in fees just to earn $10 per day in DRK. Some of them are likely IT professionals using company servers for their own gains; I can't think of any other way to make it truly worthwhile.

The only emotional reaction I had was anger directed at a couple shills.  Let me state this fact.  I have not lost a dime on DRK.  Maybe that's because I am one of those "Weak Hands" that you clowns keep referring to.  Well my weak hands have allowed me to sell high and buy back lower over and over again.  I've made quite a biyt of BTC by doing this.  What I was addressing are the people that bought into all this hype from fools like you and are now underwater.  Darkcoin has not delivered what was promised.  It's that simple.  But I never bought into the promises because this is crypto and I don't trust anyone or anything.  That's probably why I have been able to quit my day job.  But you keep all your eggs in one basket and think you're a big man with your piddly amount of DRK.


You are another fool that I will put on my "Do Not Reply" list.

See that's the problem.  You fools want to drive people away.  Well you're doing a good job at it.  Why would anyone want to invest in this coin when they get attacked for asking questions or stating the obvious?  My post wasn't attacking DRK and it wasn't fud.  Yet you felt the need to attack me and call me names.

Go to hell crouton.  You're a worthless piece of shit as far as I'm concerned and I will never respond to another one of your pathetic posts.  Have a crappy life.

I really could care less about you, your self interest, or why you bought this coin.  You are just another one of the jerks in this thread that do nothing more than drive away people.  People like you are one of the reasons that people are getting sick of DRK.  The arrogance and ignorance is getting old.  

Fascinating. Would you understand if I told you MY rational self interest is the only fucking thing I actually give a damn about.  To be more clear, I don't give a damn about "A lot of people are losing money."  I'll say it again in a different way.  Burn every fucking safety warning, sticker, and sign on the planet.  Please, someone wiggle their nose and make all that shit disappear so that I no longer have to hear whining and excuses and witness first hand the consistent public "I'm not responsible" response to every fucking thing that happens.
I DIDN'T BUY THIS COIN BECAUSE OF WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAID.....I bought this coin because of what I concluded myself.  I own myself.  Who owns you?

any idea?

The meaning is simple: Cheap DRKs

Anyhow, last time it finished with 81 and I said it could be a birthdate... now it finishes at 82. Evan is an '82er but I don't know the month/day etc to see if the prior numbers are meaningful in the european context (29/7/82).

Nothing there is specific enough to be a leak.  Trust me, it's phrased very carefully.  It's merely to address this perception that nothing is going on behind the scenes.

Ha!
