guys what trade bot is compatible with mintpal? the V2 api is still in private beta (wonder why  ) is it a trade bot or an http script? Running bots on Mintpal will cost you six figures for access to their trading API. Nice, eh? |

Is it any problem to have your local masternodes wallet open on a different computer?
Shouldn't be, as long as you don't touch the 1000DRK balance, ie move it / spend it. Far safer though to keep it offline and have another wallet for everyday use. (Exit the client, rename wallet.dat to masternodewallet.dat or something, fire up the client again and because there is now no wallet.dat in your .darkcoin dir, it will generate a fresh one.) |

Masternode count rising nicely on mainnet, ~240 right now, 30 hours to go.

What does this mean for alt-coins?
According to the Pantera Capital website, the firm also has their eyes on other digital currencies outside of Bitcoin [4]. While this isn’t the first case of venture capital funds taking notice of alt-coins, it certainly is an interesting distinction to note because alt-coins have largely been neglected by traditional investors (and often companies already in the Bitcoin space). With the spectacular rise of coins like Darkcoin, perhaps the alt-coin economy has caught the attention of large Bitcoin speculators....all the way to the Darkbank  This is huge. This is way bigger than Bitfinex news, or any other to date for that matter. I was quite happy to buy additional 3200 @ average 0.0169 in the last 3 days, but now I think to get fully out of BTC before this gets out farther. I've said it before and I'll say it again: transactionally opaque Darkcoin is a far more attractive tool for businesses than transparent Bitcoin ever was or will be. I've said this before too: watch what happens to the price when just one big player says, "I want enough Darkcoins to be useful to my $$$$$$$$ business. And I want them NOW."  |

Personally I skip the /usr/bin/ bit, run everything with ./darkcoind from /~.darkcoin, and use the linux qt wallet for the local steps, but if that makes no sense to you just stick to the guide. Ah ! I was wondering about that. Could you answer me a couple of things if you can be bothered ? - do you just delete the daemon (darkcoind) in /usr/bin ? - does the daemon always look in ~/.darkcoin for its darkfoin.conf file, regardless of whether we run the one in /usr/bin or the one in ~/.darkcoin ? - why do we need to go through the whole build process (which appears to install a v9 daemon in /usr/bin) if the update can just be downloaded and run from ~/darkcoin ? From the docs: Initial build = git clone https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin.gitUpdate = wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoindWhats the difference between these two ? Does the first one install a whole lot of infrastructure stuff which the second one doesn't ? Thanks in advance for any tips on this. I never put anything in /usr/bin/ at all, but instead just run the daemon with ./darkcoind from within the .darkcoin folder in /home/user/ - without the './' the shell will look for it in /usr/bin/, with the './' it'll run it from the current directory. For me this simplifies the update process, I just do: cd .darkcoin darkcoind stop mv darkcoind darkcoind-old-version-number wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoindchmod 755 darkcoind darkcoind You don't need to go through the build process right now as we're using a binary, but when it's open-sourced you'll want to build it yourself, so it's probably worth doing just so you're familiar with the process and know you have all the dependencies in place. Up to you though. Hope that helps. As with most things linux, there are usually about 400 ways of achieving the same thing - it's finding what works best for you. edit: Yes, darkcoin.conf should always be in /home/user/.darkcoin edit2: typos |

Cold remote works fine, I set up another two yesterday. If it isn't working for you, you're doing something wrong.
I've been lazy and haven't set up my node yet. To just verify, cold wallets + nodes are currently implemented? So we can set up a node without exposing our wallet for possible theft? I was going to wait until that was added, but if it has been already, I might as well set it up now (or at least try to). Yes, cold offline wallets now work. El Presidente's guide here should see you through the process: https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-2-3.241/Follow it exactly if you haven't done it before or it's been a week or two since you noodled with your node. Personally I skip the /usr/bin/ bit, run everything with ./darkcoind from /~.darkcoin, and use the linux qt wallet for the local steps, but if that makes no sense to you just stick to the guide. edit: If you are setting up multiple nodes, remember to edit your local darkcoin.conf back to basics before each new run-through! |

toknormal,
I'd shut down the wallet pc in the past, and confirmed that the MN IP continued to be displayed in "masternode list". After the issues w/ various versions out there I suspected I may have been recreating the ghost nodes problem by taking down the wallet. Since then I've seen updates indicating that wallet cold storage may be implemented in future release, which leads me to believe that at the present time the wallet machine should be online. I'm planning on leaving it up until further notice, but would definitely prefer to keep it offline if possible.
Wrong. Cold remote works fine, I set up another two yesterday. If it isn't working for you, you're doing something wrong. |

Is there anyone willing to help troubleshooting what's the issue with my masternode? It used to be working fine.... (proof is that I got MN payments)
Now it's not listed on chaeplin's MN lists.
Willing to pay a bit if required.
Have you upgraded to the latest darkcoind? |

Can somebody plase help me out on the text file editing parts of the chaeplin's guide ?
What text editor are people using for adding the extra lines to the ip routing table there - gedit ?
I only ask because the guide is so literal everywhere else - every step included - but if I call edit at step 6 it says it isn't installed. Are the text-editing sections implicit ? (i.e. it's assumed that we know how to download and use our own command line text editor make the appropriate changes as described).
Another thing that confuses me is this line seems to throw me into some kind of text editor which I don't know what is:
/etc/default/sysstat : "ENABLED="true"
When that's called, the cursor chafes to a ">" which I assume is because I'm in the text editor. CTRL-X does nothing and CTRL-C gets me back out but doesn't save the modification. With me not being a linux geek, I'm assuming the line of code above is some shorthand for editing the file without explicitly calling the text editor in the code.
I'm obviously missing some basic step here. Thanks for any tips which can resolve this !
I use "nano" arrow to navigate, the ctrl+x to quit, if you edit it will ask if you want to save "y/n" and then filename (just press enter) Beat me to it. It's usually already there, you don't have to install it. nano even has all the instructions at the bottom of the terminal window... |

Can anyone help me with setting up MN issue. My trouble is on local side (Ubuntu). For some reason, darkcoind / darkcoin getinfo only runs after i sudo su - . . . But that gave version as 91001, blocks were correct. Then I exit su, cd ~/.darkcoin/ , and wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoindNow, I can only run darkcoind + commands in su and still on version 91001. When I try run darkcoind from regular user, I get : Error: failed to read block Error: failed to connect to best block Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated You shouldn't need to be doing any of that on your local machine, just on the remote server. Sounds like you have installed darkcoind somewhere as root. Go back through the guide (I assume you are using chaeplins guide here for local/remote setup: https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-2-3.241/ ) and make sure you've followed it exactly if you're not 100% sure what you're doing. |

WRT to exchanges running masternodes, if anything can be done to prevent this it should be, as there is a finite number of masternodes that an usefully be run - having exchanges control a significant percentage of MNs is a horrible prospect, Mintpal and Cryptsy are both as bent as hell, you have to be an idiot to trust them with anything beyond deposit-trade-withdraw, and Cryptsy isn't even reliable at that.

Regarding linux and chaeplin's tutorial, what is the command to completely eliminate bash/command history? Is it this? ln -sf /dev/null .bash_history Yes. cd to your home directory first though, that's where the .bash_history file is that you're trashing. |

yetiraper and aretoostoopid added to ignore list It's like their agenda is: Broadcast our infantile petulance to the world, and people even more clownlike than us will surely buy our worthless shit! A dastardly masterplan guys, it can't fail! Don't forget to report this post to a mod, fuckwits...  Ahhh, so that's why my post got deleted by a mod before, they must have reported it... But there was nothing to report... Chaeplin helps the XC community by exposing flaws in their product, XC price goes up... The more the DRK community helps XC, the more investors will invest... That is a fact... Yep, they come to this thread, shit it up with their nonsense, then report posts with actual DRK related content, and the mods delete the useful stuff and leave the trollspam.  Useful content: things are looking really sweet on testnet right now. |

Evan, chaeplin, flare, and everyone helping on testnet are doing outstanding work. If you run or are thinking of running a masternode, you should really be on testnet helping to break stuff too! |

It's not about banning cash or ecash. It's about "purposely" hiding the transactions (Whether legal or illegal) which may run afoul of the money laundering laws. That's why a lawyer and not some "idiot" like you should take a look at the design of DRK and where it is headed and make a determination on whether it does or not. So investments like mine and ours are not screwed if there is a crackdown on something that somebody didn't think of. I think it makes perfect sense to investigate this now before it all gets too far down the road to fix it if something isn't right. Also, you might look at your own laws... http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/MLR/ Which are just as wild. I think the issue here is that people don't quite realise how far removed from today's legislative framework a crypto economy will be. The fiat money system is *centralised*. It is that centralisation which lends itself to regulation. On the other hand, crypto is *de-centralised*. You cannot legislate for such a decentralised financial activity. You can't ban it, tax it, regular it - nothing. All you can do is regulate the fiat gateways and then only from the perspective of *fiat* money. I've said before, whether a particular blockchain is transparent or opaque is imaterial. The problem is that there is no regulatory framework in the world which can remotely hope to control cryptos except at the financial and commercial gateways (i.e. you could conceivably ban vendors from advertising their prices in Bitcoin). I don't think many people quite get their heads round this fact. The anonymity aspect isn't the big deal - that's just providing regular privacy which most people expect from a financial transaction system. It's the economics and technology aspect in general that is revolutionary. You are right, no one can regulate it in any way, but there is also another aspect of whole thing - if government has the ability to check Your wealth by checking Your "putyourfavoritecryptohere" balance, they can do any of their dirty business, eg. forge law to tax You (as in the best option).. I can move my DRK opaquely in a practically limitless address space. Good luck figuring out where my DRK is without putting a gun to my face. (And good luck getting past the assault crocodiles to do that. ) |

money laundering bollocks
Don't take this the wrong way, but you're an idiot. Nobody has banned cash, nobody is going to ban ecash. And FYI the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about the US and it's comedy government anyway, we're too busy being almost, but not quite, as economically buggered up ourselves. It's not about banning cash or ecash. It's about "purposely" hiding the transactions (Whether legal or illegal) which may run afoul of the money laundering laws.

I think it makes perfect sense to investigate this now before it all gets too far down the road to fix it if something isn't right. Also, you might look at your own laws... http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/MLR/ Which are just as wild. People launder money in a hundred different ways, always have, and always will, regardless of inane laws. Criminals, you may have noticed, don't obey laws, and neither should anyone if the laws are stupid. This is how progress is made (or not.) Any attempt by anyone to hinder my ability to make private transactions or keep my own business my own will be ignored/sidestepped/laughed at. Stop cowering in fear, raise your voice and tell your overlords, and anyone else who thinks they have the right to know your personal business, to go fuck themselves. The governments are the ones who should be compelled to transparency in how they waste the money they coerce out of us, not the other way around. |

I know links have been posted to TA guides and such, but can anyone just mention what the 4 different panes are here and how they differ? Bit strapped for time to study TA now as I'm studying for university exams. Very interested to get into the chart analysis when I have time though, can't even explain how much I appreciate all the useful info given so far "Rape Yourself! - Day Trading For The Fuller Figure" by Harpoon Spectre is hard to get hold of, I'm certainly not parting with my copy, but for just 100DRK I will teach you how to violate fundamental physical laws, bypass the lightcone problem with 'hyperinformation,' use baby wipes to pick up hot chicks, and toss in a free copy of Back To The Future on VHS. Promise! You should also start saving for your cauldron now, has to be copper or bronze, steel totally messes up the acausal trajectory plotting on the astral plane BigMacD inversion upflip. |
