If darknet markets want to take darkcoin - fine, their choice. But if the darkcoin community actively pursues it, it only makes us look bad and directly associates us with illicit use. Darkcoin is about privacy and giving everyone the freedom to be anonymous - not about promoting illicit activity. If people use it for that it is 100% their choice, not something the community should promote. +1 We need to be the private e-Cash. Third parties do what they will. |

PSA: If anyone uses Uptime Robot to monitor their nodes, Chaeplin has reset his masterstatus.txt page to 0 for all nodes! Starting again from scratch.... So, update your monitoring software accordingly. (6:0)

Damn me working nights and needing sleep! I was hoping the release wouldn't be until this afternoon, but I dragged my ass out of bed and updated all my masternodes! To the future, RC5 brothers! Don't forget to take to Twitter and tell the world the good news! And now, back to bed....  |

It's not that DRK will cost $400 soon. It's the btc going to $200  Seems that way, huh? |

Ok. Here we are he night before RC5 will hit, and the price seem to be on sale mode.
I dont get this anymore. There is no logic in the price at all.
Looks like all long-term-fans already «prepared» - bought all DRKs they can afford to buy… And all «clever» traders waiting for announcement to start massive selling simultaneously. The result will be… as usual.  But after drop Darkcoin will start growing again - because it is great! You said it, 'bro! Who cares about the current price? There is no coin out there that can compete with us technologically, once we build the network we will approach and overtake BTC in price per coin (marketcap will take longer due to the amount of Bitcoins). Seriously, once people wake up to the possibilities, this is going to be exciting! I'm rooting for DRK myself but let's be realistic here. Nobody overtakes BTC in years to come, especially anons. I respectfully disagree. We are far too early in the Cryptocurrency game to crown one coin the undisputed default. Bitcoin has a huge lead right now, granted, but this coin that we will have within a month or two will be a far better user experience than BTC, and affords privacy as well! (We should be getting away from the term anonymous and stick with private.) So, like my sig says, with private, instant transactions, neither of which are offered by BTC, why would you still keep using BTC? When people start to wake up to the reality of Darkcoin, it will eventually reach that tipping point, but it won't be overnight. Don't handcuff yourself by saying it will never happen, believe that it will! |

Darkcoin solves this problem by implementing an ahead-of-time CoinJoin implementation called Darksend.
There we go again ... even after all the shitstorm around here trying to make a point about leaving cj out of the picture ... it just got primetime, front row seats at Darksend's game ... Way to go  Bugger! I'll be the first to put my hand up and say I missed that bit altogether! TaoOfSaatoshi has it been released yet? I just checked Twitter and no sign of it. That needs to be rewritten something like: "Darkcoin solves this problem by implementing Darksend, an all new denomination and multi-round mixing technology using a fully decentralised MasterNode network that then allows for anonymous sending of funds." Good spotting (of the bleeding obvious) SlientBit. This was quoted from my post, however I am not responsible for this press release. I believe it was Tsuyoku Naritai and his team on DarkcoinTalk. |

It's very good Tsuyoku. The only thing I would query is the notion that all of Darkcoin's code will suddenly become open source on the 29th. It's only Darksend that's been closed, the rest of it has been open source for sometime. Maybe this bit Duffield has announced that on September 29, the source code of Darkcoin will be opened and published. Darkcoin will become the first open-source, decentralized, anonymous crypto-currency in the industry.
it should be reworded to "Duffield has announced that on September 29, the source code of Darkcoin's Darksend technology will be opened and published. This is the final piece of the overall system to be opened up. Darkcoin will then become the first fully open-source, decentralized, anonymous crypto-currency in the industry." +1 OK, I've made that change to the text. Is everyone happy with this: Darkcoin Passes Security Review, Prepares to Open SourceSecurity researcher Kristov Atlas has concluded his code review and security audit of Darkcoin. He was solicited by the developers of Darkcoin, based on 4+ years of professionally reviewing C/C++ software, to review the code and suggest any changes which could improve the software. Kristov Atlas concluded that Darkcoin's claims of functional anonymity are well-founded. He did suggest a few concerns, which the Darkcoin team immediately fixed (the fixes will be released Monday as part of the next scheduled update to the Darkcoin client). Mr. Atlas' primary concern was that a bad actor could launch a so-called Sybil attack against the network. Evan Duffield, lead developer of Darkcoin, closed this potential attack vector and in doing so also found a way to increase the overall anonymity of Darkcoin transactions. The new update to Darkcoin, "Release Candidate 5" (RC5), will be made publically available Monday, September 22. It fixes the concerns raised by Mr. Atlas, increases anonymity, fixes bugs, and improves the user experience by implementing a new interface. After eight months of continuous improvement, the developers of Darkcoin are confident that the currency is finally ready to meet the scrutiny of coders world-wide. Duffield has announced that on September 29, the source code of Darkcoin's Darksend technology will be opened and published. This is the final piece of the overall system to be opened up. Darkcoin will then become the first fully open-source, decentralized, anonymous crypto-currency in the industry. Future plans include the adoption of a new Instant Transactions technology which Duffield has described in his whitepaper [https://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/InstantTX.pdf]. This technology will allow Darkcoin to compete with other nearly instantaneous transaction systems such as credit cards. If successful, such an idea could revolutionize crypto-currencies by providing a decentralized payment system usable in retail stores and other face-to-face situations. The delay between sending and confirming transactions would be reduced from one hour (with currencies such as Bitcoin) to as little as twenty seconds. A future press release will describe the system in greater detail. The Darkcoin client and more information can be obtained at their website: http://www.darkcoin.io. About Darkcoin:
Bitcoin works with an unprecedented level of transparency that most people are not used to dealing with. Every transaction that has ever happened is stored permanently in a ledger that is made public for the world to see, forever.
Darkcoin solves this problem by implementing an ahead-of-time CoinJoin implementation called Darksend. A user that wants to be anonymous can use the built-in technology to utilize the Masternode network to make their transaction nearly impossible to track.Contact: evan@darkcoin.ioCommunity: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc5-launching-september-22nd.2382/Future Press Releases: http://www.darkcoin.io/media.htmlVery nice job! We are well represented in the Press Release department. I have the same question as others, what time should I be ready to update my nodes? |

Ok. Here we are he night before RC5 will hit, and the price seem to be on sale mode.
I dont get this anymore. There is no logic in the price at all.
They didn't want to send out press releases in or just before the weekend, so there hasn't been much news or chatter outside of DRK circles yet about imminent RC5, or Kristov's code review, or the announcement of open sourcing for next week, or the plans for instant transactions. But now the weekend is ending the first press release is being finalized ready to be sent out to the big new list of press contacts (including lots of new ones & lots of Chinese ones) that has recently been put together. (All this has been happening on darkcointalk.org) Yes! This is really exciting stuff! Chinese? They have the most to gain from Darkcoin. Stay tuned guys, next week could be REALLY exciting! Trying to escape government controls? Get into the Dark! (Translated of course) |

tardedness
First post, terrible English, low intelligence, doesn't even care how dumb he sounds. We've had relative quiet for a while, but someone just paid for more cheap-ass sockpuppet trolls. Ah come on, somebody is pulling my leg.  I announce that I am researching the psychological profile of trolls, and the next second the very definition of a troll walks by? A veritable storybook troll? Yeah right. It is a brand new account, that is possible... Someone is bored, perhaps? |

Why I left out?  And Flare should definitely be in that list! Oh Snap, here we go! That's the reason I posted a "..." Now I will not be able to work for the next few days... if I keep adding users. Wait for my script, you will definitely be on the list Tao! Also, your name has 3 substrings Tao (1) Of (2) Saatoshi (3)... which makes it a bit more difficult, and is the main reason why I chose who I chose. (All 2 substrings) (If you can't wait, I take 0.1 DRK per name update) If you do include me, my handle is actually TaoOfSatoshi, but BCT doesn't allow me to use "Satoshi" hence the extra "a". I didn't know that they don't allow that. Interesting. And weird... what are they thinking? And as I said, I am not sure how to deal with your name... What looks better: TAOOFSATOSHI or TAOOFSATOSHI I like option 1, thanks! |
