Those fees are paid to the miners. Plus it forces all those transactions to be immediately included in blocks. Try again.

Only remaining issue as I see it is Darksend rounds>1 will never finish anonimzation. Change that number to 1 in the settings and RC4 works like a charm.

Poor reason not to invest. Those people will be kicking themselves later.

I'm in Japan (though not Japanese) and to get a pint of good imported ale in a bar costs the equivalent of $9. Furthermore, I did get into DRK fairly early which may be why I am willing to part with more than you (though not $9 worth ). Of course if alcohol was prohibited out here then a beer would be worth 0 DRK (though if you are the type to challenge "the man" then you might pay quite a lot of DRK for smuggled in beer).

In short you are right, the more DRK gets adopted the less the market and the associated traders and whales matter. I think that is a ways off (nobody really even prices anything in BTC without considering the fiat equalivent yet), but it is an interesting discussion.

However, even without adoption to that level, just having a coin that is verifiably anonymous AND easy to use will result in a significant increase in value.  Right now the anon is working but buggy and the wallet is not yet easy to use or easy to understand.

It may be quicker. The key for me is how fast the tech gets sorted out. If that only takes 1-2 months then we will see adoption quicker.

As for the question, it is hard to answer because it is tricky to say how much I would pay without considering the current or even my personal expected fiat value in the future since there aren't really any references (i.e. other everyday items priced in DRK).  Forced to answer I would say a 1 DRK or so but I really don't know.

Whether it is Kritov's review or some other event, nothing is required to "save" DRK because it doesn't need saving.

Once all the tech is released and mostly bug free (which is NOT the case right now) there will be a big push for adoption. Right now the only people who know about RC4 are supporters who have already bought in and traders/whales who the vast majority of are greedy cancers and are likely manipulating things to a certain extent.

For the marketcap to grow new people are needed -- and to get new people the coin will have to be completed and then marketed. I can't imagine DRK is still at this low price level 6 months or 1 year from now... which is why I hold.

With v29 can anybody who couldn't get more than one round of Darksend now get multiple rounds? Or has that not been fixed yet?

Darksend transactions are used to automatically anonymize your coins. As this involves sending and receiving you must unlock your wallet. It will lock again once finished (this may an hour or so based on network situation, mixing rounds, and the the number of coins you have).

Note, there is a small transaction fee required of 0.001 per mixing round. For more information read the release notes: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc4-launch.2033/

Please read the release notes. https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc4-launch.2033/

It is a transaction fee paid to the miners to process Darksend transactions(denomination). No different than transaction fees in bitcoin.

Thanks.

About 1 though, is that not a real issue and just about MNs not being updated or what?

In my case, I left my client for about 8 hours, got lots of denomination fees, but never saw more than 1 round in coin control. I wasn't the only one with the issue either...

Overall I think the launch went well. Most people have had their coins denominated and to date all major "DRK  are gone" problems have been resolved. At this point there are 2 issues I see that need to be addressed.

1) Darksend rounds > 1 never finishes denomination for a number of users (myself included)
2) Handful of users aren't seeing their transactions confirmed and be included in the blockchain -- this results in the coins getting stuck.

I expect Evan to take care of these in the next day or two.

Hope you get this sorted.

Hmmm, I dont remember it being widespread, but if so then this needs to be looked at ASAP.  Even if you get the coins back it is not good for DRK, and then you have rare cases like Camo when you really may not get them back (unrecoverable wallet.dat corruption).  

Good to here this got fixed.  Still no idea why it happened in the first place? Also, if you get a chance it would probably be good to send your debug file to Evan.

I edited my post. Seems they went to IRC, but I agree the solution should be posted here as well.

Yes, I meant to say "no preference" can cause problems, but not coins cannot be lost.  Camo has already gotten his back so that is proof.  

Also, it would be nice to see the solution and correct usage behavior post here so that in the future we can warn future users about how to avoid this issue. 

True. 

Seems like an issue with the wallet as the transaction time is off.  So long as there is no forking (which there isn't) you are right that coins can be lost. Evan did say something about not selecting "no preference" when sending....

A double spend is a possibility.

Did you send anonymous funds or normal funds or a mix?

For both of you, why is the timestamp in the wallet off?  The most recent transaction is BEFORE the second most recent.

Did those coins already start anonymizing before you turned Darksend off?  What address is that?  Do those coins show up as unconfirmed in some wallet? Maybe they are not included in a block yet?
