Good luck whatever, darkcoin is going to need it pretty soon.
LOL at "luck" - none is required. Your betters (read: people with money and a fucking clue) have decided how this will go and no amount of pablum from nobodies like you will change it one iota. Your future is also easy to predict: you'll be back here in 3 months asking yourself why you're still a truculent little peasant. ** Sheesh, picked a rotten day to peruse the forum. The idiot army is out in full force. Please stick around.  |

Currently the only coin that can actually be used for purchases of any significance in the real world is bitcoin and it will likely remain that way for some time. Even if they get all the bugs worked out for the masternode network, where are you going to spend DRK? Legitimate retailers are already moving towards bitcoin as is venture capital and wall street. It's all fine and dandy to root for your team, in this case coin. But people need to realize that there is not a venue to use this coin at. The anonymity will prevent a majority of vendors from all sectors from using it. And cryptonote coins have more apeal for the btc rich old timers that rarely venture outside of their bitcoin world. I see Darkcoin as a neat experiment without any practical application once it's finished other than providing masternode operators some income at the expense of the lowly miner.
I think you're almost perfectly wrong here. BTC has seen truly pitiful retailer/b2b adoption because it's an open book. DRK lets businesses transact almost freely (who likes paying credit card processors, or, gods forbid, paypal?) and maintain their privacy at the same time. I think places to spend DRK will be appearing at a far faster rate than with BTC. What you don't seem to realize is that retailers are not looking for anonymity. Darkcoin still has transaction fee's. I think you underestimate the bitcoin infrastructure and money behind it that is already in place. It's only going to grow as more and more businesses adopt bitcoin as a payment method. Anyone that thinks Darkcoin will ever surpass bitcoin is just plain wrong. I think what's happened here is all you guys get together and pump each other up. You all seem really concerned about anonymity and that's just fine. But the majority of people could care less. Bitcoin is becoming a household name. I take it you have limited experience running a business in a competitive market sector? Of course businesses value their privacy.  What you don't seem to realise is just how important shaving 1-2% off your overheads is to most businesses. DRK transaction fees are an order of magnitude lower that CC companies. |

When people use the term decentralized to describe the masternode network they are incorrect.
While 'centralised' is pretty well defined, 'decentralised' is always going to be a matter of degree - there will never be perfect decentralisation of anything until entropy finally has it's way with the universe. The masternode system of hundreds of nodes is clearly decentralised in comparison to one centralised server. It's not perfect, nothing ever is, but its one beautiful fiery hell of an improvement. |

So you're afraid that so many people are using Amazon's services compromises the integrity of the network? I honestly can't see the problem. If the US Government moved to shut down all amazon services running masternodes tomorrow, it would take me exactly 10 minutes to put my masternode back up on my home computer with noip handling my dynamic ip address, or just use my dynamic ip address and change it when my service provider changes it, why not?
I wonder if future improvements could see masternode handshaking become fast enough to handle dynamic IPs as a matter of course? It's already pretty quick with the new multisync. |

How can i actually verify that my MN is working? Have 2 MNs that have been up since softfork launch, (updated within a few hrs of latest version) and one of them has gotten 1 drk payment, the other 0. Both local and remote have latest darkcoind, and i have ran the masternode sync.. Its no fun looking in the list hehe, some have gotten 9drk, many 4 etc... Dunno, but one of my nodes has been paid 6 times, and one hasn't been paid at all, and they've been up exactly as long with exact same settings, so I believe it's just variance. My results so far (all been up and running for weeks, all kept up to date) MN1 4 payouts MN2 1 payout MN3 0 payouts MN4 4 payouts* *last 2 despite being greyed out on chaeplins status page, but everything looks fine at my end and it's getting paid, so for the time being I'm leaving it alone and trusting 'masternode list | grep <IP>' = :1 Yeah, the daemon tell the truth every time  But chaeplin has been updating his scripts too. Have you double-checked with https://elbzo.net/masternodes.html ? Ah thanks I'd forgotten about elbzo.net, yeah the MN greyed out on chaeplins page is shown good on elbzo, only marked 'Unlisted' under the darkcoin.io column. |

Odd, one of my MNs is showing as down on your new status page but as far as I can tell it's still happily masternoding away and showing :1 from itself and my other MNs. Last seen 185 mins ago Last Enabled! entry: 2014-06-27 19:37:02 CDarkSendPool::EnableHotColdMasterNode() - Enabled! You may shut down the cold daemon So about 3hrs ago it stopped seeing the cold wallet? Checked cold wallet, all is well, restarted server daemon, getting Enabled! again, but still not showing green on your status page. It is a mystery. |

Masternode stats du jour;
Active Masternodes: 387
Price per node: 10037,7 USD
Darkcoin PoS: 3.884589,9 USD
You used the "P" word.. Is there an acronym for Proof of Service? PoService sounds not good. PoServ, ServPro, SP, Service Reward, NR -node reward, ummm.. I don't know.. Yeah, POS will always mean Piece Of Shit to me. What about Service Infrastructure or Service Investiture Reward? |

2 and a half month running Masternode and not a single payment .. while some others yesterday nodes have already gotten 6 payments .. sux  Can someone setup a MN payment statistic page? (with the total payments and the total payment ready running time) That would be a helpful thing to see if the distribution equalizes. I only got my first payment a few hours ago, if you're MN is up to date and you've got green lights on chaeplins page, you're good, the payments will come! Not all pools have updated yet, it will only get better. |

Goodbye centralised financial state-sponsored cabals run by psychopathic control-freak tyrants.
These people aren't going to give up without a fight. Which is good, because I'm looking forward to delivering unto them a tutelary hiding.  Bonus Chesty Puller quotes: "They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!" "We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them." "Great. Now we can shoot at those bastards from every direction." |

Current Darkcoin developers, holders and supporters: talent, brains, and balls. Prognosis: shiny. edit: Masternode payments rolling in nicely now...  |

That whole thing is pure LOL, but this bit takes the cake: "Bitcoin businesses in Canada, however, that provide services to persons or entities outside of Canada are exempt from Bill C-31 for those external services." So, a whole load of bullshit to funnel money into lawyers pockets protect Canadians from money laundering, but hey go ahead and operate your international money laundering operation from Totonto, no worries.  |

Banning on "bad masternode signatures" is temporary removed.
This will help other nodes and yours.
So, *if* my masternodeprivkeys are banned, anyone running 10.11.5 will ignore the ban and my MNs should get paid eventually anyway? I have updated my MNs to 10.11.5 but not generated a new privkey for each, not got any payments yet. Banning last 24 hours. Banning is on ip address not on pubkey holding 1K or masternode pubkey. If "bad masternode address signature thing" is occurred, bp is new ip + new genkey + new address for 1K. Can we see somehow the banned IP addresses? I don't think so. Banned by peered clients. So we could be banned, which lasts 24 hours, and have no way of knowing it? Geepers! I doubt this is an offence that happens often, but it should be viewable somewhere. I scanned my debug logs for "ban" and didn't get anything, so hopefully I haven't been banned for anything, LOL If anyhow NM is banned(ip or pubkey..), ping of NM will not be not relayed. So if a NM is green on the list at least 2 hours, I think the NM is ok. http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.htmlhttps://elbzo.net/masternodes.htmlBugger, I just changed all my privkeys but probably didn't need to. All green on your lists. Will wait impatiently for that 1st payment... |

*** VERSIONS 9.11.5 AND 10.11.5 ARE AVAILABLE ***
The network has been experience some odd banning behavior caused by bad masternode signatures. I removed the code that bans the other party when this happens will I'll find the underlying cause and fix it in RC4. Please update if you're experiencing any problems or run a masternode.
Thanks,

Listen here buddy, this world works above the books
With apologies to slapper for quoting a retard, this is the most utterly fucking stupid thing I have read on the intertubes in quite a while. Ignored. |

I had a few (very few) XCs some time ago.. Jeez. I didn't know that had gone that high. I bought mine at 24. Then they went to 12 and bought a whole lot more just to offset my loss on the rebound. Sure enough they rebounded to 22 at which point I tossed the lot overboard and just about broke even before they sank beneath the waves.. "Explosive" coin sure enough. Explodes your pockets. Top "tier" developer sure enough. Brings "tiers" to your eyes. Hah, Darkcoin lacks this explosive cash-flushing technology, whereas Shitcoin will have it as soon as I finish implementing Shitcoin Wipe, which frees up your valuable HDD space and removes blockages from the Bloatchain. I'm all in. Man when this Shit hits the fan, we gonna be rich. Rich, I tell you. Can we actually launch this? ShitCoin? Like are real dump coin? I like the way you think so much I'm going to steal your idea! Shitcoin - For The Ultimate Dump! It's going to hit ten thousand fans! But first I need just 1000BTC for the hookers and coke 3rd party developers. IPO thread coming soon! |
