Are there any ways to buy BTC with USD quickly?
Coinbase makes you wait 5 days. Any options to create an account today and be owning BTC immediately or tomorrow? Anyone care to send me several BTC and I send you paypal?
This probably doesn't help you, but if your intention is to buy DRK with BTC, it's a much quicker process to acquire (if you can) LTC or VTC or something, and buy DRK with that, as you can usually convert it instantly to BTC on an exchange to trade to DRK. BTC is painfully slow. |

Well we need article comparison between darkwallet and darksend. Everyone here knows that darkwallet is a joke but the majority of people stick to btc .
You can't force BTC holders to use altcoins. The majority will still retain their BTCs. DRK's potential is in the 1-10% market cap of BTC / BTC holders that'll opt for private coins. Which is... around 60-600mn USD. DRKs potential is more than BTCs ever was. |

8btc sell orders at 0.0033 at cryptsy  . I bought some drk . Buy wall gone ... 40btc drk sold . Why everyone is dumping ? Well, for every seller there's a buyer too - in this case one party was smarter than the others, that's all. |

39 BTC buy order on Mintpal @ 0.0034.
Wish I could buy more myself.

Remember this article about Dark Wallet? http://www.wired.com/2014/04/dark-wallet/
Andy Greenberg kept seeing "Darkcoin" mentioned over and over again in all of the comments, so he gave me a ring yesterday to see what all of the fuss was about. He's writing up another article about Dark Wallet and he's going to include some info about us as well. Should go out tonight! Just keeps getting better and better. |

Nice new splash screen, but still no password protection at startup. There really ought to be, IMHO.

Coin is highly unprofitable atm, I wonder why the difficulty still keeps going up
If I use 0.4$ / kwh in coinwarz (which is slightly lower to what I get right now in my tiered power bill - at almost 0.34 euro / kwh) DRK tops the lists as the most profitable coin. Actually the least unprofitable coin as I'd be mining at a loss if I continued - as they are all mined at a loss. For 320kh scrypt / 1MH x11 / 160kh scrypt-n, it's DRK first -1.07$, HIRO second -1.08$, EXE/VTC -2.23$ and it goes up to -4.5$ for the least profitables. True, people plug in the hash rates for different algos and moan that DRK is unprofitable. When you manually enter half the hashrate for scrypt/scrypt-n (because X11 uses half the power, at least in my case) DRK is right up there at or near the top. Alternatively, double your X11 hashrate in the calculators for the same power consumption when comparing to scrypt/scrypt-n and you get a more accurate picture of profitability. |

...I will find you!
You wont have to look far, they'll all be right here bitching and whining like, well, whiny little bitches. |

Please enlighten me. How would masternode wallet/server be compromised if ssh ports are shut, and json ports are closed to external IPs?
You wallet is (as far as anyone knows or is letting on) computationally unfeasable to "hack" as long as it has a strong passphrase. The server is as vulnerable to DDOS attacks as the infrastructure it's sat on. Keep all unneeded ports closed, run no other services, use strong unique passwords, enable ssh only from your own IP, usual stuff, you should be fine. edit: User selectable ssh port for the deamon would be good. |

Here's the new schedule for development:
- RC2 (masternode payments, DGW3) : May 14th
- RC3 (1000 DRK limit and denominated change) : May 21st
- After this, I'll find someone to vet the code and open source.
- RC4 (Bugs, security issues)
- Testing, then opensource
My personal translation of this is: "I have though of a bunch of cool new stuff to implement. You're private space yachts will have to wait a bit longer, but they'll be bigger private space yachts." My senility is getting worse, or someone is deleting posts at a rapid rate, the thread pagecount keeps dropping.  |

Ok, I have verified it works. Start darkcoind on remote machine. On your local machine specify the IP at launch with -masternodeaddr=YOUR_SERVER_IP Unlock your local machine wallet with your passphrase. On your local machine, ./darkcoind masternode start Slickness indeed. darkcoin.conf (stolen from chaeplin's thread, thanks buddy) addnode=23.23.186.131
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
Could someone kindly help me? I can't seem to get this to work. I started my server darkcoind wallet I started my local darkcoind with the command: ./darkcoind -masternodeaddr=YOUR_SERVER_IP I unlocked my wallet I then tried to start my server with ./darkcoind masternode start passphrase I get "not capable masternode" I tried starting my local darkcoind as a masternode, unlocking the wallet, then went back to my server and still could not start the masternode. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks I am sure I have read somewhere that you need the passphrase in ""s, eg. ./darkcoind masternode start "passphrase" - but I am old and my memory sometimes fails me. I'll be having my 1st go at a masternode later today, hours of baffled incomprehension to look forward to!  |

I am curious how many people out there are mining DRK at a loss when they would be better off buying the coins outright.
Right now about 30GH worth. (And it's not really at a loss, unless your electricity costs a great deal.) I rent my rigs at better profit when I can and buy DRK with the BTC I make, but I mine DRK in between rentals because, well, it seems like the right thing to do.  |
|
|

And the hashrate is still way up. Which is getting annoying..
You know why the hash rate is so high, despite the fact that mining DRK isn't exactly the most profitable thing to be doing right now, nor has been in the past? Because... there are people out there with a clue! Amazes me that there are so many actually.  But what the hell, I don't mind some other people getting rich too. |

I also wish that it mixed with those 1000DRK. Only makes a good thing better and the coin is already sitting there...
The 1000DRK was never meant for mixing, and isn't necessarily "sitting there" anyway. |

Good news. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just head over to Mintpal. |

Even so, for someone like myself, I'm not fighting any big fight other than personal privacy, so if the IRS saw my finances, I wouldn't be as freaked out as if someone else did, because I am pretty sure the IRS won't put my info up on the web for all to see. Wow, I'm just realizing how stupid I can be......... LOL They already have everything about me on the internet, LOL You can't hide, so you may as well speak out! Having said that, I am never traveling to the USA for fear of ending up in a dark hole forever, which is a shame because I'd love to visit America. |
