Hello, guys.
Disclamer: I don't want to mess up with you, i just want to understand. I wanted to try some CryptoNote coin and did some research. It seems that bytecoin has some serious reputation issues, so i don't wanna be a part of it, then i checked out monero, and recently - i found this darknote coin of yours. I like its features, i just don't understand, why so little people know about you and mine darknotes?
Monero has community so huge it hurts when i try to read their endless threads. And they don't have a GUI client, which was unexpected for me. I don't see any crucial advantages of monero over darknote. But i'm new.
Naive question to ask but still - are XDN any good?
Official website is a little bit too fucked up to be really official, isn't it?
As someone who holds some darknote, boolberry, and monero, I think there are a couple of reasons that monero has a greater level of interest/marketcap/trade volume/etc. 1) The development team appears to actually be a team, several members of which are well-known (within the cryptocurrency world), particularly fluffypony and tacotime, and several of which have disclosed their irl identities, at least fluffypony (richard spagniola (sp?)) and davidlatapie (david latapie). dNote claims that there is a team of folks working on the dark duck, but he is the only one who ever posts or commits on github, and he is an unknown in terms of bitcointalk/irc/crypto world and as well as irl identity. The monero team is quite active as a whole (the sum of all members contributions) on bitcointalk, irc, github, reddit, their own websites, etc., whereas dNote posts maybe once a week or two on bitcointalk, has no irc presence, and seldom updates the website or github repo. I think boolberry and cryptozoidberg are even worse in this regard, with practically no updates or interactions with miners, speculators, or others interested in the coin. 2) The distribution of darkducknote coins was extremely rapid compared to monero (and especially compared to boolberry). dNote has offered various rationales for disbursing 85% of all coins that will ever exist when the network hashrate was 1/20 or 1/100 of monero's network at the same time, but I think to a lot of people it smells like an instamine and seems a bit scammy. Before it switched from duck to darknote, around 85% of coins ever to exist were mined in approximately 3 months. Granted, its not as bad as shadowcoin and it's ilk that had a few days or weeks of PoW before switching completely to PoS, but I think it's along the same lines in the minds of at least some people interested in cryptonotes. Anyway, as the person before me said, "You're not supposed to take anyone's word...". The activity level of the development team is fairly easy to verify, as well as the number of coins in circulation and the network hashrate at any point in time (using the graphs at minergate or chainradar). In my opinion it's these two factors (transparency and activity of team and coin emission) that led to monero dominating the cryptonote space at the moment. |

Speaking of 1000, does anyone know who runs AGENTSMITH bot in #burst-coin on freenode - I think he stole/lost/borrowed like 1000 coins from me. I haven't been on irc in a week or two, but I definitely had between 900-1000 coins in the irc bot, and now it says I have zero  Maybe database was reset or something? Hacked? You sure it was the AGENTSMITH bot? I'm not sure that bot even allows you to deposit coins. I think it could be the other bot that is in there, and that is run by someone I know. I can get in contact. I deposited some coins to it as well, but I had completely forgotten until you just brought it up, but I don't think it is the AGENTSMITH bot, unless I am unaware of AGENT's ability to accept coin deposits. It was definitely AGENTSMITH bot. .account, .desposit, and .balance are all commands, and .bribe is like the "tip" command. I didn't even know there was another bot in there... Ah, in that case... I would remember who made that bot if I saw the nick, but for the moment it's escaping me. Definitely seems like bot was reset. My account is no longer associated with my irc nick (i.e. when I try to check my deposit address it tells me I need to associate my account with nick using the little cog wheel at the top right of burst wallet). Oh wells, just 1k coins. Please shoot me a PM tho if you do remember who is the operator por favor. |

trying to get the simplewallet/darknoted running on my mac...i have downloaded the blockchain from mega...but cant figure out where to put the two files in the zip..any help would be great!
I think mac is the same as linux, which I think should be in a hidden folder in your home/user directory called ".darknote", so path would be like: /home/yourUserName/.darknote If you've already run darknoted, then this folder should already exist. |

pimpcash? does that selection detract from your proof-of-sanity, or maybe proof-of-respectability?
PIMPcash [PIMP] is a great selection for the foundation!! PIMPcash Team and community kicks ass and they have one of the best cryptocoins that pays to your wallet daily just like clockwork when staking... PIMPcash is highly respectable and will have a long life in crypto no matter what the wall street wannabe's wanna say about them...  Pimpin' ain't easy, but apparently is highly respectable  |

I will always love DSH. No matter what happens to her....
DSH is not being developed It was never really meant to be "developed", if you look at first post. It's just supposed to mirror the developments of bytecoin, without the massive premine. |

just added a bot to the #dogecoindark chat that will announce any updates made to the source code,
as well as a bot in #electrum-doged that will announce updates made to the electrum and electrum server doged source code.
Nice, hopefully some people will setup at least a few servers, so one doesn't go down and then nobody's electrum wallet works anymore. |

Hey dev, what are your thoughts on the crave claim that they are the first truly anon tor coin?
well, they arent the first, thats for sure. we had tor nodes long before them.. but i like our i2p network better.. plus theyre using ecdsa which has had serious bugs before, and lots of bitcoins were stolen as a result.. as well as it being POS (proof of stake), which everyone knows is terrible, just makes the rich richer.. I'm a little confused here. Doesn't DOGED (and BTC) use ECDSA (elliptic curve digital signature algorithm) with secp256k1 parameters ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Secp256k1 )? This is what bitcoin uses, and DOGED appears to be forked from bitcoin. Are you saying that you modified the parameters, or that you're not using an elliptic curve signing algo, or something else? Are you taking into consideration that this coin as it is a Scrypt coin would be a fork or litecoin, not Bitcoin? There's no acknowledgement of litecoin in the source code that I saw after very brief perusal, but I'm quite sure litecoin uses the same ECDSA and parameters anyway... |

USDT isn't fiat, and polo isn't a dedicated exchange. Even if it was, try creating an account for your mom and see if she can buy some Monero with her USD.
I agree with you that easy fiat exchange would be extremely challenging, but we will never achieve real-world adoption/use without it. And I'd definitely try to create it myself if I had the time and legal help/knowledge.
Again, I'm not saying everyone has to flock to it. It just has to exist. We want adoption and we want merchants to accept xmr, but we have to have an easy option for new users to acquire it that doesn't depend on BTC.
Considering that Coinbase is valued at more than $400M (approximately 100x the market cap of Monero), and Circle and Buttercoin are probably valued at least $5-10M (something greater than the ~$4M market cap of Monero), I don't think Monero is quite ready for this type of full service, nationwide fiat-to-crypto conversion. It'd be nice, but I think it costs a bit much relative to the worth of all the Monero currently available... |

In my opinion, it isn't in the spirit of crypto to have closed-source things. That is the difference between Satoshi and this wolf idiot.
Just to be fair, he is responsible for the fastest open source cryptonight cpu miner, and I think the fastest open source neoscrypt kernel for sgminer, so it's not like he's contributed nothing. He's also pretty much just a kid, and I think a bit disappointed in how much users will donate to open source tech, so I don't begrudge him possibly keeping some code to himself/paying customers. |

What exactly do you mean "transparent"? Myriad uses the same wallet and technology as bitcoin, one isn't really more or less transparent than the other, right? Unless I'm missing something... |

the second address VqspNKCc3ufsUSJb6Vq2TcEVX1Wn9EdHjP is the pool vertcoin.miningpoolhub.com Oh well, better. I wonder if the other is using some elite kernel. It's probably that prick TheWolf0.. Why prick? He's generally been very helpful anytime I've seen people ask questions, regarding anything from setting up a miner software to writing opencl code. He also seems to be generally polite and genial. Just curious where the hate for him is arising from... |

Any plans to give an interview on the Let's Talk Bitcoin network (alt channel so to speak). I just listened to an interview with the creator of DRK/dash and it was interesting to say the least. I would have liked a Monero guy on there to give an opposing/alternaive viewpoint. I think a little debate will help the stronger coin out. I'm in XMR's corner of course, but not reading much these days on its main competitor makes me feel a bit out of touch.
Related, can we ever have a wallet app on e.g. Android, for XMR as opposed to a web wallet- is there anything creative we can do?
IAS
Porting LightWallet to Android seems possible given reasonable inputs of time/effort/skill and/or funding/bounties. XMR competes with BTC; Darshcoin competes with CLOAK and other shitcoins. XMR has no serious competition in the 'legitimately trustless privacy-enabling digicash' sector. Bitcoin, with its high-volume array of 3rd party tumblers/mixers, comes the closest. Darsh enjoys 1st mover status in the 'scamcoin marketed as privacy-enabling digicash' field. But its technology is unproven, and outside of the cult (who stand to profit from their Ponzi nodes) not many will trust it for security-sensitive applications. Porting lightWallet to Android would be pretty tricky at this point, since at the moment it is really just a wrapper for simplewallet that communicates by rpc calls. So, we would need a version of simplewallet that runs on Android (which may be doable for 64-bit Android devices), or, something along the lines of bitcoinj/moneroj (which would then require some significant rewriting of code). In either case it's probably beyond my capabilities and/or available time to work on it right now, but the code is available on github for anyone who would like to give it a shot... |

Whats the RPC ports for connectivity? I can only find conf settings from the Scrypt-N days...
I feel like solo mining .
I remember there being something about solo mining from wallet, after algo update, like I think you need to run stratum proxy or something. But, you should be able to set rpc and p2p ports to whatever you want in vertcoin.conf anyway. Maybe better to ask question here: https://www.thisisvtc.com/forum6.html?sid=baa5179ebf7987182739b9956b1b51baor on /r/vertcoinmining on reddit... |

Well the promise of elasticity (if I understand correctly) is stable market prices by dynamicaly balancing supply and demand, so if that is indeed the case what could go wrong with buying a shit ton of Vert at these bargain prices?
If price goes lower before elasticity release, and then price is stabilized at that lower price. Also, maybe more importantly, is that if elasticity tries to stabilize the price by reducing coin emission by a lot, then maybe a lot of people stop mining because they're only getting tiny rewards, and then it requires much less hashing power to 51% attack the network. |

I fired up autohunter with four bots (one from each color), and it kept crashing after a couple turns/blocks, so I launched from terminal to keep window open and got this error: INFO:root:name_update 'jw-26yerc2': d1ee0caf06a52b33d4d06f2b1da49ff9eea3d036aca0c96e84a09b883f04b034

I'm not mining anymore, but still hold some BBR. The long periods of silence with no releases makes me wonder what is cryptozoidberg collecting 1% of all blocks for? Not that it's a lot of money in terms of BTC, but is any work being done on the project to warrant 1% of all coins generated? I was never a fan of this donation/payment model, but I think especially lately it just looks like someone sweeping up loose change just for being (benevolent?) dictator for life. I think this is a bit harsh. BBR still works and is being supported. Whenever technical issues are highlighted, these are being looked into, investigated and resolved. 1% seems reasonable recompense for creating and supporting a coin IMO. As for BBR developments, the coin is open source... 'Ask not what BBR can for you, but what you can do for BBR.' It's easy to bellyache about why others aren't volunteering their time to make enhancement upon enhancement, however anyone can make a pull request. CZ has made it clear he is open to collaboration (I only wish I could code!). If the community is waiting on a new release from CZ (containing what exactly?), well CZ has said he's currently working on another project at the moment. From what I can tell no-one is paying CZ to constantly enhance BBR, it's a labour of love. I know from experience that passions are great however sometimes bills need to be paid. Fact remains that despite the radio silence BBR still remains one of the (if not the) most technically advanced Cryptonote coins. So people can choose to invest, support or contribute to what it is (fast, user-friendly, truly anonymous PoW coin with no pre-mine and a sensible emission curve that doesn't penalise late adopters), or put their time, money and energy elsewhere. Maybe a little bit harsh, but there was a somewhat recent spam attack that seemed to be an impetus to implement per-kb fees, but rather was just let go on until the attacker apparently lost interest. Also, with respect to the bolded portion of your quote, that's not quite true. The miners are paying him 1% of all BBR generated, which as I said above isn't a huge dollar amount, but it's not nothing. If the coin was actually used in a significant way as a currency, and had a market cap anywhere close to bitcoin, then 1% could be a huge amount of money and would possibly be beyond reasonable recompense, which is why I'm not really a fan of the model. Anyway, you're right, I'm not actively doing anything really to support BBR, so I'm not gonna sit here and kvetch. Maybe someday the new GUI will get released, and, who knows, maybe in the year 2099 supernet will actually see the light of day |
