Anyway, It's just money I would drink away or throw at women. If the price rises, I'm happy. Same story for if the price falls.

A user posted this in drkcoin subreddit: I tried this morning and they answered very fast that they didn't accept Darkcoin. If you have a minute please write them, it would be amazing to get their attention. They are one of the biggest VPN companies. Bad timing for me, I renewed my annual subscription a few months back...but I will send them an email saying I would have paid in Dark if I had the option. They sometimes run promo codes as well which would bring the price down to 1-2drk for a month, I will see if they will run something like that for Dark users. Not much point asking for all this if it goes unused, any of you guys willing to part with a 1-2drk and get PIA for a month? Can't speak for others, but I do. My annual contract with another VPN expired recently and I'm trying different ones paying month to month It would be great to be able to mention one well know brand (kind of!) accepting darkcoin. |

I tried this morning and they answered very fast that they didn't accept Darkcoin. If you have a minute please write them, it would be amazing to get their attention. They are one of the biggest VPN companies. Done. I told them that as "a user of both Private Internet Access and Darkcoin, I think Private Internet Access™ would be perfectly aligned with the only one privacy oriented crypto currency, that is Darkcoin," so if 1,000 ++ people (there are more than 1,800 registered users on darkcointalk) ask them to start accepting DRK... Ticket ID: RLL-983-55306 Subject: Darkcoin Department: Sales Type: Issue Status: Open Priority: Normal I wrote something similar. VPN and Darkcoin are perfect together. |

On another note... Time changed back yo winter (-1h) this Saturday here in Europe. Now all of a sudden I cannot for the life of me log in to exchanges with 2FA ... anyone know how to fix it?
Contacting support right now...
That's really fucked up. DST is a stupid invention we should get rid off asap. |

1000 coins are just to much for a masternode
dev not able to reduce amount ?!
Because the cheaper the masternode, the easier to set up a lot and try to harm the network. |

Avast Antivirus! flags the wallet installer as malicious, just a false positive?
Most antivirus flag wallets and miners. If you download from the official website you are ok. |

Guys - I hava a question - is it safe to transfer what masternode earns to another wallet and still have masternode active?
Yes, but use the inputs control so you don't take any funds from the 0 address. That one needs to one one input of 1000 DRK or the masternode will stop working. |

We need to give people a few days to update, I am away for the weekend for example and stopped my nodes until I get a chance to update early next week. It would be ideal that everybody updates right away but that is not possible since people may be busy. Another factor is pools need to update so running the previous masternode version is no longer profitable, remember pools in the previous version pay masternodes in the previous version so the network needs time I think two weeks is reasonable. MN is still running, grep my ip gives me a one.
I had this in the past and did wait 7 days without payment before i deceided to set up a new IP.
"masternode list" with YOUR Masternode version (hopefully 0.10.15.13) is what the pools and other Masternodes with THIS version also see, so it's the most reliable way to find out what's going on. Unfortunately pools with older versions will still pay Masternodes with older versions, but since more and more pools update that will have lesser impact in the near future. And, as soon as enforcement to 0.10.15.13 kicks in they will completely disappear anyway... So is the 504 count the number of MN running 10.15.13? If I was still running 10.14.1 would the same command give me a count for that version? One last question on drk.mn page the total MN's shows 773...Is this a bug or did we lose a bunch of MN's? Thanks... No reason to stop them. I haven't had the chance to update either, but there is no harm in leaving them running meanwhile. In fact, I have received some payments while they wait to be updated. |

What good is open source code when there are no OTHER qualified code devs taking the time to actually look at the code?
I believe there are many skilled devs / hackers looking at it. As the recent hacker demonstrated so well... Would be great if we had someone join the team (and holding DRK) instead of exploitative hackers who just want to see how much damage they can cause... That description fits you perfectly! You know you don't have time. You know you are tired. You know you are gonna make some people angry if you get involved in more things. But you know you need to do it |

Yeah... the Mintpal is not working. Anyone have a link to the new API ? Thanks! Is there any way to export bitcoinwisdom data to csv or xls? |

Does anybody know where to get reliable DRK trading volume data for more than a few days ago? full history for major exchanges would be awesome |

I'm still unable to access my Mintpal account. I've sent in a ticket over 24 hours ago asking them to disable the broken two factor but haven't received a response as of yet.
Just sent them another email. I really feel like I'm about to be Goxxed.
Funny thing is, if you reset your password, it lets you temporarily bypass the two factor authentication accessing your account but you are still unable to turn it off.
As of now, I have my funds being held in their exchange with no means of withdrawing them. I should of taken everything off that exchange when I had the chance...
Same issue. I followed up again saying it has been 3 days and that this is ridiculous. I have traded enough in BTC volume in the past 7 months that my account shouldn't continue to be locked. Having said that, I was vulgar and basically told them their exchange is a fucking scam. I fortunately don't have any coins on there though. I took the last of what I had a few hours before they took their site offline for the V2 upgrade. No amount of free fees will bring me back there. Haven't resorted to swearing yet. (I have a decent amount of capital on there) Still not very happy at all about this. I wasn't aware of the migration and got locked with some DRK inside (I don't trade, so I wasn't following their updates). I had placed the coins there while putting some order in my wallets and a couple days ago I started fearing for them. It wasn't a big amount, but still quite pissed off. I had 2FA, but today I logged in without Mintpal asking for the second factor. I've withdrawn all my funds and I haven't had any problem. It took around 10 min, which I think is about what it used to take. No way I'm going back in a while. Good luck with your coins!! |

Yeah, so much going around stores for a revenue of 500 EUR doesn't make any sense. Still, I'm sure media will say this is super serious and all bitcoiners are bad people (they don't know about DRK yet, we shall be worse!) |

Satoshis principles of how a blockchain is secured and validated. You just want to let the validation be done by an elitist club of early adopters, instead of giving EVERYBODY a chance of participating in the coin creation. That's what I don't get.
Mining gives everybody the possibility to get to some DRK without the need to go thru an exchange or thru some smug MN holder who thinks he is now supposed to be the sole source of DRK.
I am mining all kinds of coins, so I don't need to go thru the whole established banking system with all their KYC etc...
No bank anywhere has my personal information and knows that I bought cryptocurrencies, EXACTLY because I was able to get to some coins by running a mining machine!
So, if you get rid of mining, you take away from people the possibility that they can create coins themselves, instead you are forcing them to only be able to buy darkcoins thru an exchange, which is INSANE!
Darkcoin is VERY COOL in that regard, because it let's you still mine with your CPU/GPU. (And imagine in the future having X11 USB ASICS that cost 10 $? Isn't that fantastic? Giving some kid a X11 miner as present and having him participate in the network. Ok, maybe in some rich elitist famility they can give some kid 1000 DRK complete with managed server, .... )
If the blockchain were to be validated by MN network only, I would not trust it. Sure, everybody can provide a blockchain, it's not just about its visibility, it's about its integrity!
You have the burden of the proof to show that MN network can really replace mining. Not me!
Such extraordinairy claims require extraordinairy evidence.
This is a great point, especially when you consider that in some parts of the world, people have had their bank accounts closed for being involved in trading cryptocurrencies. To be fair though, if you really wanted Darkcoins, you could receive some in exchange for goods or services without going through the exchanges. You can also buy cryptos over the counter. Not everywhere, but localbitcoins works great. |

I'm going to rudely butt in here and say that I think this discussion is very important for Darkcoin right now.
I am a masternode owner. I therefore pay to have servers that perform a service at a cost to me. To pay for that cost, I occasionally get 20% of a mined block. Now that we have RC5, my masternodes cover costs and make a small profit. Right now, electricity prices are so high in most places in the world that mining is becoming a decreasingly viable venture. We need miners to mine (the more the better!), the network needs masternode (the more the better!). If we can make mining more profitable by refining the algo for the miners then it is a win win situation.
As a miner I agree, However I read here somewhere of some idea or concept of getting rid of the need for DRK miners as the master nodes could be allocated the job in some way !! I wouldn't worry about idle speculation. If anything I get the feeling that the popular consensus is that the masternodes and the miners need each other just as much. Absolutely. There will always be people in both extremes, but Darkcoin needs miners and masternodes. All changes will be done with Darkcoin's best interest in mind, not to favour any particular group. If we do this right, the pie to distribute will be much bigger and all parties will be happy. For a while running a masternode wasn't all that it was supposed to be. It was possible (indeed likely) that you could run at a loss. Now that RC5 has seemingly fixed the voting issues and we are getting closer to enforcement things are looking much cheerier for the masternode owners. On the basis that power costs in huge swathes of the world prevent viable mining I'd love to see some focus turned towards the miners who are subsidising the services that the masternodes provide. I don't like the term subsidize because to me it includes being forced, but it is true that sometimes people can lose money. I haven't mined much, but when I have it was not profitable because where I live the electricity is quite expensive and I can compete with other areas of the world. I've also run masternodes for months when there were no payments. But both things I've done because I wanted. It is possible that at some point in the future (maybe even now!) mining won't be for everyone for whatever reason (cost of electricity, equipment or whatever). Same goes for running a masternode. I think that if any of us is doing something at a loss when someone else is being able to do it profitably, it maybe the time to refocus efforts. I encourage to those who can't mine to set up masternodes instead. And those who can't set up a masternode but can mine profitably, to do it as much as possible. Both things are needed and both things can be profitable under the appropriate circumstances. I could not agree more. Now...how about getting a tick box and drop down included in the next QT version so people can opt in to donate some of their CPU cycles to the network? You tell that to Evan if you want to add items to his tasklist |
