I hope everyone understands RC4 HAS NOT LAUNCHED YET... its out in spork mode. It is meant to be this way. Roll out RC4 to the adventurour to play with and report bugs "large scale" - which are just little pestering things and nothing major.

 No one need to update unless they dont want to. Except pools if they dont want orphaned blocks when the fork is set.

+1

That's the reason I keep my Darks out of DarkSend at the moment. I now it's still in beta phase.

I for one am happy about the lower prices... means I can afford masternode someday. (I thought this was out of the realm of possibilities)

Also, I am happy about every error and bug that emerges, it means that the delousing is effective.
Soon functional anonymity will become highly proficient anonymity.

 Grin just like me, this is the 4th day in a row that I've been buying DRK, I just couldn't waste this great opportunity to increase my DRKs wealth Wink I am only sorry that I cannot afford buying even more, though.

bad example Wink
a better one would be the fuckup after releasing a new version which used another version of berkeleydb...

any software has bugs.. this is normal
BUT: a forked software with some minor changes which fails for anybody who uses the new feature (it failed for anyone who uses darksend and has set more than 0 rounds.. correct?) is a whole different story..
it just looks like a) never tested or b) made on purpose to gather more fees for his mn-buddies

i tend to b...

Guys 100% promise this is not meant to be FUD but what has happened to DRK price why has it fallen so much? Hoping to avoid having to trawl back... Is this software related of just the general poor market at the moment?

What happened to BTC price? Better, what happened to prices everywhere?

What problems, really? From all that I have seen most of the problems were caused by (inexperienced ?) users, like not mastering basic wallet.dat/private keys knowledge, or even by previously existing computer failures, and were solved by simply re-downloading blockchain for example. Such problems happed daily in each and every other cryptocoin, BTC included.

Have I missed something?

Congratulations to the community for the support given to the less experienced users, and to the Dev team for such hard work. It's a work being done live and we are all participating, it requires hard work and the results will not simply rain down for us.

Acabei de criar uma conta no jogo pra ver como é. Fiquei curioso. Alguma dica?

Estou no tutorial, vamos ver como me saio Wink

Dá uma olhada lá no tópico original ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=334082.0 ), tem algumas dicas que postei lá. Caso vão aparecendo dúvidas é só ir perguntando que no que puder eu ajudo (melhor manter as perguntas lá para deixar reunidas num só post todas as dicas que apareçam.

A dica inicial é economizar energia, pois somente se gera 1 ponto de energia a cada hora.

Abraço,

I am a network guy and I work for a company that used to be one of the internet pioneers. Recently however, we have been sidestepped by other companies a bit,  but we are still around and trying to turn things around with new software that frankly is pretty awesome. Anyway, we had an all hands meeting the other day and after the meeting I went up to our CEO and asked him what's his opinion on taking BTC as a form of payment. I was expecting a very short answer that was negative, and to my surprise it was completely the opposite. He seemed very interested and asked me question after question about mining, MT GOX, alt-coins etc. We spoke  for a bout 5 minutes and afterwards he told me to send an email to some of the guys way up on the pole and CC him, which I did! I'm SO EXCITED! I feel like i just asked a girl out to prom Cheesy


That is really great. And it is for sure a trend: from now on more and more companies will look forward to accept and to work with cryptocurrencies. When we take into consideration the technological evolution, it's a very natural step.
348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AnimeCoin [アニメコイン] ANI on: August 14, 2014, 03:17:53 AM
I need a really dumbed down explanation of all this, because I don't quite get it. Is it basically saying that you are fragmenting your wallet address with each transaction or am I just being silly now?

OK, I am not the best person to explain this kind of technical subject, but... a transaction is actually a "bundle of information" containing all details necessary to be registered in the blockchain (amount, sender, receiver, originating "previous transaction", etc). Each transaction has got it's own size proportional on the amount of info it brings to the blockchain.

It is based on the size of the transaction that the miners will decide on its inclusion in a block, and if a fee will be charged for it or not, etc.

When you have a single transaction consolidating (containing/originated from) many different "previous transactions" (for example, when you receive many transactions into your wallet from mining, faucets, etc, and then send it all in a "bundle transaction" elsewhere), that single "bundle transaction" created will have a big size (not because of the amount of money it represents, but because it includes in it all the details of each of it's contained "previous transactions").

Any transaction will always have to bring inside it the info about it's originating "previous transaction", in order to form the "chain" of the blockchain, a registry in which the transactions are linked in a history sequence.

So, a transaction is "too big" not because of it's value, but better because it was formed from several other previous transactions that now are contained and described inside it.

That's why Majormax said:
(...)
A lot of people don't realise that 'Transaction Size' is not proportional to the number of coins, but rather to the space (memory) used.

Wallet coin control is a useful feature, and not just for Proof of Stake coins.

I hope I was able to explain it in a clear manner.

OK guys and gals

Remember this - HODL!!!!!!!!!!!!


The markets are being manipulated by a higher power then all of us.
Everybody seems to be taking a shit right now while we still have face.


Some huge whales are - and have been slowing accumulating many alt coins only to dump them
and I believe that it's happening now - the dump

They are trying to eliminate the shitcoins and we are gonna have a rough ride ahead of us.
Hold in there and stay strong.

(...)


Thank you for your words. It is so sad to see the "red markets" all around. It hurts and scares people away, but it's a necessary hard lesson being taught.

At least I am being able to take advantage of the opportunity, buying more DRK and always holding. As every cloud has a silver lining, after all this mess we'll be the fortunate ones for believing in Darkcoin, and for being together here, helping this community grow stronger.

does lawsky really care about what bitcoiners think ?  i doubt that   Huh


Bingo. And IMO we cryptocoiners should not care about what regulators think. The obvious thing here is that they are starting a fight that's impossible for them to win: what are their intention, to outlaw maths?

We can be sure that the Bitcoin is much stronger and don't really depend on them. If Governments bring abusive regulations on, they will be shooting their own feet, for investors, tax payers, and employment creators will simply avoid that specific state/country/city and will always choose BTC friendly places.

Unless we are too desperate about short term USD/BTC prices we should just let them make their mess... tant pis pour eux

AnimeCoin fans.

Trying to send Animecoins..
Getting error: trans-action too large; it's only 25000?
Why is there such a limitation.?
thanks

This seems to be a problem a lot of coins suffer. Here is a explanation:
http://www.frozentalk.org/showthread.php?tid=58
Probably you mine at pool and in the wallet you have a lot of small transactions (100-50 ANI), in this case when you trying to send relatively big amount (like 25000) it's created lot of transaction to combine inputs which bigger than size limit. To solve this problem, you can create new wallet (or you can use exchange address) and send all funds from old wallet to new address by 2500-10000 transactions.
If you send 10000 and get this error, try send 5000, if you get this error again, send by 2500, etc.

Thank you. I'm glad we were so fast have the answer Smiley
354  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin survive without the Internet? on: August 12, 2014, 05:27:42 AM
I have just found outernet.is:

Quote
Outernet will utilize a constellation of low-cost, miniature satellites and existing infrastructure in geostationary orbit. In both cases, satellites receive content from the web through a network of ground stations which uplink content that the community has collectively requested. The data packets are broadcast in loops so that poor signal quality does not prevent continuous updating of content.

Also, this post might be of interest to be quoted here:

One of the key tenets is that bitcoin block data is easy to distribute widely.  Information wants to be free.  One of the ways we may keep bitcoin healthy and free is finding alternative ways to distribute block chain data.  This provides resilience in case the P2P mesh network is attacked.

My personal favorite is satellite distribution, something I have been working on quietly in the background.  Satellites means one of two things:

  • 1. Buy some bandwidth on an existing satellite.
  • 2. Launch your own satellite.

Buying bandwidth is the most cost-effective, and readily attainable method today.  However, not just any satellite channel will do.  Bitcoin requires a dedicated, one-to-many broadcast mechanism.  This is like renting a TV channel -- although at much lower bandwidth requirements (1MB every minute or two).

Nanosatellites have recently cut satellite costs down from the absurd, traditional $20m+ build, $50m+ launch.  There is now a standardized cubesat size.  Two innovations reduced launch costs down into the $100k's range: (1) Many organizations collaborate together (rideshare), paying a portion of the launch cost.  Sometimes 27 or more cubesats are launched at once.  (2) These clusters of cubesats are launched as a secondary payload.  A primary payload has priority, which means secondary payloads are sometimes not launched into a proper orbit.  With these two factors, cubesat construction and launch is lowered to a reachable price: $2m or so.

Several people, including some investors, in the bitcoin community have privately expressed interest.  It seemed like a good time to move forward with Phase 1 of the project.

Phase 1 is:   flesh out cubesat specifications, research leased bandwidth pricing, and specific data needs (xmit tech, frequencies).  The initial goal is broadcasting worldwide (or at least major continents) the latest bitcoin block, over and over again.  Stretch goals include broadcasting recent chains, recent TX's, and other data.

A word about government involvement:  Set expectations properly.  There are three points at which government is inevitably involved, at some level: (a) getting launch approval, (b) ground station(s) inevitably must be located in some useful geolocation, and (c) frequency selection.   Fundamentally, these satellites will be broadcasting public, not-encrypted blockchain data, so the content should not be an issue.

Hi, Slydog, thank you for your feedback.

I usually send my ANI transactions without any limitations everywhere, but I do remember that once I had this same issue when I was trying to send ANIs from an exchange, so I had to do it in small transactions. The exchange said they were having some kind of problems with their wallet. Since then, I have made lots of transactions (some with large amounts - more than 1kk ANI) and I have had no problems.

If someone can check this issue and help Slydog, it would be very nice.

Hi, eoJ, as I haven't had your confirmation, and someone else showed interest in it, I have conceded him that article.

I noticed that you have been absent lately, so that's why you were not able to post me you reply. No problem Smiley

Please, let me know if you are still interested, because I can always write more, depending on the demand.

All the best, my friend.

Hi there, I'm currently looking for people to write on an assortment of Bitcoin related topics. Reviews, guides, explanations, commentary, etc. I have tons of demand, and need it filled.

It doesn't matter whether you've done this kind of stuff before or not, get in touch via PM. I'll be paying good money to anyone who can write an interesting article.

PM format:

Subject: Writers

Body: [Hi, my name is x], [I'm from y country], [I've been involved with Bitcoin since z].

Being involved with Bitcoin for years isn't a necessity, as long as you have an understanding of it.

Thanks!
Joe

EDIT: Should add, I'm paying $2-4/100 words (the average article will be 500-1000 words, so $10-20/page), potentially higher for those who are able to write especially well. If English is a second language, then this may not be suitable (although if you've lived in an English speaking country for a large portion of your life, then that may not apply).

If English is a first language, or you've lived in an English speaking country for a large portion of time/are well educated in English, then go for it, by all means, even if you don't have any writing experience.

Hey there, eoJ, how did you like my article? Is it fine? If so, can I pick other topics to write about?

I am waiting for your reply.

Regards.

No otakus here?  Shocked
There still are easy 512 to claim:
http://scificointalk.com/index.php/topic,611.0.html




The answer to that one is Love Hina and narusgewa is punching Keitaro Urashima out the window XD Good old Ken Akamatsu
He will fly epicly through the sky ah memories of the Love Hina Dating Sim on Newgrounds ^_^.
And LH again with Kanako but think that is from episode 2 Smiley
Naru one of the best known examples of the tsundere character archetype.
A personal favorite of mine so feel free to claim it  whoever has an account there Wink

Since there was no takers i have sent the ANI to Animecoiners giveaway fund.

Round 5 started: 3 part question, 1500 ANI to win  Smiley



Hi, lyno, thank you so much for your contribution to our Giveaway Fund! I am so sorry that no one got that one, even after freedomno1's tip.

But (now, here's how I see this subject) wouldn't it be a good idea to slightly change the strategy here? I mean, of course anyone from this thread (Animecoiners) can participate in your trivia giveaway, but the best idea is that we succeed in bringing new otakus to our community, helping in a better fair distribution of ANIs (and your trivia idea is great for that). So we should try not to "restrict" the participation to only our already members. And, better than simply going there and replying (the easy way), we should instead spread the word about your trivia, and how easy to get ANIs there: it would mean more and more animecoiners.

I have been talking about it to some of my RL otaku friends (I've got plenty, as animes are so popular here where I live), I've already been able to get some of them installing the wallet gui, I gave them some ANIs, etc... but it is not easy to make them create profiles in boards other than forum.minnasuki.com, forumproject.xpg.uol.com.br, crunchyroll.com/forum, and others already known to them. Most of them don't even speak English, and that's another awful barrier...

So, of course I can always go there and answer, if I know the answer, but I feel bad about it because I already have some Animecoins and I'd like it to be better distributed, and not concentrated. So I'm trying to bring "non animecoiners otakus" in. I'll eventually succeed Wink

It would be nice if we were able to do it in one of those already known otaku specialised boards... I've already tried to do it at myanimelist, for instance, but the board admins there have interdicted me Sad

Anyway, my friends, this is how I feel about it. But, please, feel free to participate there, because I know it feels so good to see participation in our projects (and that's what matters most).

 Cheesy

Well, I've been a little absent lately, it's because it's my holidays...

By the way, I have been into Sword Art Online II and No Game no Life these days. Anyone else? Please let me know what Animes are you watching now, and what's your preference, etc.

I tend to prefer Yaoi and comedy. Junjo Romantica is the anime I love the most (and I keep rewatching it again and again) because its so fun.

The first anime I remember watching were Groizer X and Don Dracula (long long time ago, when I was a kid... got addicted to it since then Wink)

I have 24000 anime how much is that worth?

HODL... and please come participate in our community, we will be so happy with your friendship  Cheesy

359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would some Regulation in the Altcoin space be welcome? on: August 08, 2014, 09:07:54 PM

this. Bitcoin is freedom through regulatory consensus algorithm, but this doesn't mean it shouldn't be externally regulated to protect consumers.

If we don'tself-regulate, the state will have the perfect excuse to go ahead and make nonsense regulamentations, like they do with the financial world, but worse because we will have the informatic ignorance added to scenario.

So it must be done.

Both good points.
360  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's all about Freedom on: August 08, 2014, 08:28:32 PM
OK, I agree that there are too many scams and that it is a problem (and the op's text does not deny it). Actually, it's so obvious that the so called shit coins are nothing more than scam.

But the fact is: even though dishonest altcoins are there, there are still many good and serious altcoins. It is up to the community (and of course to each user's discretion) to separate the wheat form the chaff.

Isn't it starting to happen?

These are good and welcomed iniciatives: the community discussing the subject instead of simply being nazistic.

If the community simply (and lazily) decides for the easy way of banning all altcoins, I'm affraid many good ideas will be bottled up.

Remember:
