I'll ask for it to be included on the front page

On the other hand, we have almost nothing right now, and anything is better than nothing, and as soon as possible isn't soon enough.  Sure, we'd all love to have pros doing this kind of thing.  My husband is a writer, I asked him if he's help me write an article on darkcoin.  He asked "will they pay us some coin for it?"  I said no!  And, though I will wring his wrist until he helps me (I need time myself) he also wants to be paid for his work. (I explained that if the coin takes off, we are paid in it's improvement, LOL)

So you can see, if we don't have a passionate darkcoin enthusiast, who happens to be a great website developer, we'll need to pay someone.  I'm sure that will come, but in the mean time, lets get something decent up and updated asap!

I did the same thing, 4 times.  Buying way higher than it was a couple of days or hours later.  In the end, you got to remember, it will undoubtedly go up so much higher, that little bit won't matter.

However, I have to fight myself all the time.  So many people are able to buy up so many coins, like someone just said they have 40,000 coins, and I admit, I get jealous.  Then I get angry with myself, because jealousy is a stupid emotion.  There will always be those who are in a better position, but that doesn't matter for me as an individual.  I had a goal to get 2 nodes up, and I got that.  Sure I wish I had more, but I can't swing it, I swung as far as I could.

So, same with buying, you do your best and know, if you had bought Bitcoin at the exorbitant price of $4 a coin, well, you're still doing VERY well

I will admit, I have to check myself every time that jealousy creeps in, 'cause it is a creeper, and it will take my happiness at being a part of this great experiment away if I let it.  LOL

 
Mistake.

We are on RC2, and if you pulled the "source" from the announcement, it was old, and so were the links.  It's been corrected.  There is no source, and by May 14th, there will be a hard fork and you will have to use RC2.  However, hopefully, we'll have open source soon after, if that is an issue for you.  Just want to be sure everything works perfectly before it's released to the wild

Congratulations

Totally agree, it's crypto slang almost.

You still have the TXID number, you can say, that amount in this transaction came from you.  You could also take a screenshot, I suppose, of your wallet where it shows your transactions.  But ultimately, a merchant should give you a receipt, and it should be numbered "order numper" or something.  Just like with cash, you should make sure you keep a copy of that receipt.

You get just as much if not more protection as you would with handing over cash.  Buyer beware, as has always been, always will be.

The thing that "hurts" our price is that we're not pumpable (by much if at all) and "boring" to those who are just out to make a quick buck.  More people are holding than selling, so volume is lowish, and those that want to buy don't want to pay 300% more than it was only a couple of weeks ago... so it's a cycle that pushes and pulls and ultimately allows dark small gains with pull-backs keeping the price at a very slight rise over time.

boring

healthy!

You just explained the unexplainable to me, LOL.  I couldn't understand why they would have such a craptastic picture of the developers (looking like gangbangers) and advertising that their DarkWallet was especially made for criminal activities.  

Worse still, if they were on the up and up, they make people wanting personal privacy look bad.  Freakin police state here!

Ah, thank you  Please don't hurt him too much, we need him    Make sure he's not stressing too much either!

And that goes for you too!  Have a great weekend, I'm going to be out of the house all day tomorrow to help my nephew with his project, he graduates in a couple of weeks!  Yaaay!  Good kid!

One more thing, Kyle, I updated the first post in google docs with the new info, if you or Evan can take a quick look and post it.  Thanks

What in the world is it that is linked here:
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc2-hard-fork-on-may-14th.357/#post-2698

I think today's announcement has confused more people than just myself.  Please look into it   Thanks Kyle!

Yes, but the point there is that 40 people are running Masternodes right now, without even getting paid, me being one of them, and I'm paying a server to do it.  And we're doing this because we're gung ho about Darkcoin.  This is a strong indicator that once the masternodes start getting paid, many more will start running them and we will have a strong secondary network to support all kinds of things, including Darksend (and many other things)

I am.  I tried both the pre-compiled version and my own compiled version.  Is there a new start command?  As you can see, the command "start" isn't listed there.  Another person from darkcointalk.org also has the same problem and nobody has confirmed that they've got theirs up and running that I've seen???

Any ideas why this thread seems so quiet lately?  Also, has anyone been able to update their masternode?  I've been trying but get this error when I try to start my masternode:

error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"}
ubuntu@ip-172-31-9-169:~$ error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"}

Strange reaction to a big new development!  I myself am doing so much running around for my kids, I pop in when I sit for a minute, then leave 'cause I've got to go do something else!  Now it's time for bed ;P

Helping nephew with his thesis project tomorrow, so won't be around again.  Hope we get more info from Evan by the time I get back!

Not that I know of.  Don't use Virwox, you'll lose almost 20% of your money with them.  Might as well take your chances with Coinbase.  At least Bitcoin has been cheap, you might make money on Bitcoin now that DarkWallet has come out??  

I wish I had more funds to spend, but I used up too much of my money buying (and buying always too high!) that I am in a bit of trouble.  I just hope it goes up before I have to sell to pay for bills, LOL.

You could check out Moohla, see what they have going now.  I haven't kept up, and am a little skittish lately of hooking more companies up to my bank account.  Coinbase is servicing some pretty huge companies, so I'm assuming (bad thing to do) that they're pretty reputable??  But who knows?

Unless someone is doing something illegal, I don't see why they'll get in trouble using the browser plugin?  There are plenty of things you can do with your bitcoin that are perfectly legal!  I'm glad people are trying to accommodate Bitcoin with some way of giving people with Bitcoin privacy.  Unfortunately, for other reasons, I don't like this solution.  My problem is I don't trust it with my privacy nor my coins.  But if it's all you got, it's all you got.

Also, glad to know I wasn't losing my mind late last night when the pages were going backwards.  Being as tired as I was, I thought I was losing it, LOL

Probably not, LOL.  I was too tired to be doing this last night!  I'll try again later today   I think it is the port forwarding, thanks!!!

Yah, I always use quotes, which are usually needed if you use a lot of weird characters... Hope someone can clarify if something is missing here for me.  I'll see it tomorrow if anyone can, got to go to bed now


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

Something really seems to be missing because my remote server does not see my local wallet.  I'm assuming the last line above should read "on your server, ./darkcoind masternode start "passphrase" but since it was written that way, I tried starting the masternode on my local machine, and it still didn't connect to my server.  Could my problem be that I'm behind a router?  Maybe that's what I'll try tomorrow, plugging directly into my modem, maybe that will work?

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

Mostly it is your passphrase that protects you.  Problem is, your ip address is kind of advertised and anyone interested in thievery will know there are 1000 dark in that wallet.  However, if the coin are in a wallet on another machine, that doesn't advertise it's IP address, it could be safer, however, only if you can have the wallet locked, IMO.  Im not sure if you can keep your wallet locked at the moment.

DDOS just blocks your wallet from participating.  What we have to worry most about is if a VM can be infiltrated via another person's server running on the same hardware??  Or if you were sloppy enough to get malware on your machine??
