You are going to have to pay people if you want help, you won't get much help otherwise.

Just a little update from the in waleet trading front.
We hoped to do some beta testing with windows wallets on the Cryptsy exchange this weekend. We are not going to make that, instead it will be proberly on tuesday that the wallets for the Beta- tests will be ready... I will keep you all updated.
I'll do some Beta testing when it's ready, I'm a pretty tough tester  |

Bitcoin is continually breaking all-time records for transaction volume so I can't see how more use = declining interest.

FUD isnt FUD when its true. I dont get paid to speak the truth I just do it.
I think this is the root of the issue. There IS irrational fearmongering that is based complete falsehoods to try and take down competing coins. There is ALSO a hell of a lot of scamming and shit that goes on behind closed doors. People who are legitimately exposted try to say that FUD in discovering the truth is the same as the FUD that is the same as 100% bullshit. Being a victim and crying about fudders in crypto is the new status quoe. People use the word FUD as a defense mechanism against criticism of their choice of investment. Most "FUD" is true and most of what is termed as "FUD" are people objections and concerns. Real "FUD" would be statements which offer 0 thought or evidence of validity and malicious behavior like giant red text etc. If a person is crying "OMG FUD!! leetz rofl's your r a hater!" then I just assume they have no idea what they are talking about in the first place. |

Simply put, I don't want the mutherfuckin NSA knowing what I give my granny for christmas. Sure, no harm, but shit man it is none of their damned business.
You might not care. I do.
Their computing power is way better at penetrating any anonymity, if they really want to do so. The computers we use to encrypt are puny in comparison. The primary issue is - don't look suspicious and we reduce their level of curiousity. Paint "Free Candy" on the side of a church bus, and it just looks bad and people WILL look.
"DARK" is a keyword that triggers the NSA automated system to increase the scrutiny of the contents of transactions. You can thank Silk Road and Silk Road 2 for that.
If we don't look like trouble, we stand a better chance of being ignored.
That is so true, I don't really want the NSA poking around in the granny's underwear drawer either, what about the name "CandyCoin" then, it has a nice ring to it. You could give out free candy to everyone! and you could name the units snickerdoodles, or gobsmackers, or gummiworms |

Very Cool, a virtual Crypto Expo
Can you make it so you can attack other players? You would get way more people

I normally stay well clear of these debates, for obvious reasons, but I do get frustrated when I see well-articulated responses from people who are clearly intelligent advocating this obviously broken architecture, mostly through much hand-waving and placating each other.
Masternodes have to be available and connected to in real time in order to be used. Mixing is based entirely on their availability. Thus, in order to control a substantial number of masternodes one merely has to own a handful, and make the rest of the masternode network unreachable.
For even a script-kiddie-level attacker these techniques and funds are easily found.
Need to render 1100 masternodes unreachable? No problem - SNMP amplification attacks will let you use a handful of boxes to amplify the bandwidth under your control. When a datacenter sees a clear flood of traffic for a particular IP address at the datacenter their response is always automatic and the same - their upstream data provider blackholes that IP address at the upstream bordergate. This means that you can use SNMP or DNS amplification attacks to render a dedicated machine (never mind a VPS) inoperable and unreachable to the outside world.
The most critical take away for you today is that this problem is unsolvable at the userland level. In other words, no matter how much dev worship there is there isn't a magical line of code that can be written that can prevent amplification attacks from devices and servers that are unrelated to and unconnected to the Darkcoin network. It is something that cannot be controlled or influenced.
The solution would literally be for Darkcoin to scrap masternodes and go back to the proverbial drawing board to find an architecture that uses passive blockchain mixing or similar, but I suspect it is too late and there are too many stubborn heads for that.
Exactly this. I have read little things here and there about DarkCoin not actually being anonymous because you have to create anonymity on the protocol level. Monero/Cryptonote has good anonymity because it splits up all of your blocks over different people when you send the transaction but the drawback to this is that it creates more data on the Blockchain. In DarkCoins case, the mixing nodes would present more of a risk since a script could be run in order to link transactions, plus the nodes can be taken offline and disrupt the network. |

Firstly the coin is fully working There were no extra coins premined on adtv2 the coins i hold are the remaining swap coins and they will be swaped when the swap server is back up The main reason for me not spending as much time on adt as i used to is that it costs alot of money that i just dont have everyone says i should do more what more can i do than spend all the time i am not working and all my spare money on it ? I can show you how to make changes to the code if you'd like, no cost. If you get the rest swapped over then you should atleast have some of the premine left, you could even set a cutoff date and whatever if left over goes for development stuff. I do think you should give up some control over some of the different aspects of the ecosystem though whether it be the forums and website, social media or coding since one person can't do it all, I'm sure there are lots of people in the ADT community that would have great ideas and fill these roles well. |

there will be a rather large development update coming soon. it will be posted on the OP as well as in a post, the developments include: 1. a more defined description of who is working for this coin 2. a webpage for the coin off of the development teams official website. this website will also have the two other coins we care for as well as our other crypto projects. 3. in wallet trading for the coin. the coins wallet will be updated to include api calls for trading with the exchanges in an additional tab. 4. an update section telling the status of development on the wallet that will hold multiple coins at the same time. this coin will be included in that list. 5. official news media feeds to follow to get up to date news at random times with what we are doing. 6. link to a youtube page where development videos / other things will be posted. 7. what holding this coin will mean for you in the future in relation to the multiple coin wallet. stay tuned everyone, sorry for no big updates recently  Ooh, looks good Griffith keep up the hard work |

Ok so then just look into more anonymity, I just don't see how it should matter since the government doesn't go out of its way to stifle innovation when it's so public. There is nothing that can stop a person from owning coins and it's not like likecoindark is building nukes. They already monitor all electronic communications of all types. Phones, xbox chats, email everywhere, walkie talkies, cell phones, VoIP, etc etc. You don't need to wonder anymore. All of it and the capacity to monitor anything new that might come along, and have the reserve capacity already in place for the next few years. I wonder how many they can monitor especially with so many others coming out. Wrong. If I send my grandma 1 LTCD for Christmas, the NSA will be sniffing all over it, just because "DARK" is part of the coin name. Doesn't matter what the purpose of the transfer is. All coins with "DARK" in the name are being monitored for all transactions. TOR doesn't hide from them. I still believe that having "Dark" in the name is just asking for the wrong kind of attention and will lead to trouble. Some other word to substitute instead of "Dark" would be wise, in my own opinion.
I disagree with this, you can have Dark as part of the name and you only bring about the wrong attention when you do things you shouldn't do. Has anyone scooped up DarkMatter? That would be an awesome name! |

Yeah but who is going to live in their floating city of gold? I hear you can buy everything in MarineCoin on their fleet of Superyachts..... |

I vote for Sunny King, who pioneered Proof of Stake and has added more to the Code base than anyone else along with the first practical POW Coin, PrimeCoin.

Ask spots for the tantrum, he's the best
Yeah I don't really know what to think about that so I tend to just stay out of it and save myself the hassle. Also, if the Altcoin section was shut down, it would be bad for Bitcoin and the majority of people would move to Cryptocointalk. The majority of trade of BTC is through Altcoins and without that, the BTC market would quite likely die off soon after. |

Could just fork the project into a new repository....
Would anyone like to host VocalCoin for the holders.
Could just create the Float of the same size as the after the burn and trade it for all the known holders.

Maybe you should rebrand the Coin and change the name to "LightCoinDark" and get a Cool Ying/Yang type logo geared to the balance of life and the evolution of the technology in the financial industry. I think POW is bad from a price point of view, POW miners need to pay bills and so will sell most coins. I think the best option would be to go into POS or atleast a hybrid before going into the 2.0 structure and then adapt it as you need from there. If you have a POS only coin, you get very little selling pressure and may infact even suffer from lack of volume because everyone is Staking their Coins and nothing is on the exchanges.
Personally I prefer Proof of Stake only Coins and they do much better over time and during times of full downtrend it won't do as bad, Coin holders can be much more generous as well. LiteCoinDark and ReddCoin are both based off of LiteCoin, couldn't you just adapt POSV as the preferred method of inflation?

I would think.... Oh god, someone had a tantrum and deleted the Altcoin section, time to sell
|
|
|

You meant "only time will tell", or did you wanted to say it is selling time?
Not sure what you mean by this, are you selling your coins? |
|
|

Interesting developments, will BCX break DarkCoin? I guess only time will sell, price is currently at 0.00612000  |
