I have some more wallet questions. Apologies in advance if this is very newbie-ish, as I'm used to just downloading a wallet, unzipping... and that's it. I first tried the mac wallet, but it can't find the blocksource. I tried it a second time after re-installing, and it then kept crashing on startup for me. So I am trying the win wallet now. I tried to find http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoinqt. exe listed on the front page pdf, but it leads nowhere. So instead just downloaded what is on the 1st page of the coin's website, which seems to at least be starting to sync properly. It's 9.1.2 beta wallet. So it'll be fine if I just use this one, and is it an old one, or newer version? Is this the wallet I should be using? If I want to get coins from an ancient wallet moved over, I just need to replace the dat from my backup I previously made, right? And with the wallet closed, I assume. Yes, just replace the wallet.dat  |

Anybody have teamviewer willing to help me get my oldwallet n sync with new wallet I have over 200 coins in wallet stuck I tried to send my coins from old to new but the wallet never synced?
this small venture is paid of course, reasonable offers please If you tell us what you've done so far someone can probably help you for free... well ive downloaded the new wallet just now, doesn't show the darkcoin that was in the old xcoin wallet. About a month ago I tried to send my darkcoin from my old xcoin wallet into the new darkcoin wallet that I downloaded at the time, after the new wallet synced and didn't show the coin in it. Ive asked a few times here on this thread and had gotten the same answer to find the appdata file which ive finally found today.(LOL) Now I don't remember what to do with it, as well as not knowing which appdata darkcoin file this is, the old or the new? Oh gosh, Angus, I'm sorry this has been so hard for you. What you need to do at this point, I think, is to try replacing the wallet.dat file with each of your backup wallet.dat files until you find your coins. What I would do is name them, like 1wallet.dat, 2wallet.dat , etc... Then try each one out. When you try them out, you have to change the name to wallet.dat. This file is in the folder you just finally found, and you should be able to see the wallet.dat file in there. Keep track of which wallet is which and I hope you find your coin now finally! |

Kind of a Proof of Stake and Proof of Service rolled together... Better than a pure Proof of Stake, which really serves no purpose at all... It makes Proof of Stake into something more, which actually has a use. You guys are fucking geniuses.
Ah, The elegance of tying so many things together... PoS payout for providing a service to the network, also limits masternodes, creates a coin with PoS and PoW (PoS that actually requires that you do something for the network, not just hold the stuff) in it, while facilitating the anonymity function, and we're right back to the beginning of the loop... Beautiful. It's the kind of paradoxical working ruleset that makes all cryptos function, but this is the only CryptoCoin that has this one. Could also be extensible to shortchaining so clients don't need the whole blockchain, and masternodes can be used as blockchain repositories... Centralized without being centralized, and those who run the masternode get paid for providing that service proportional to the job just like the darksend they already do... Fucking perfect.
Anonymint, bless his annoying little heart, actually pulled a lot of this out of Evan a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed he hasn't come around again lately, and can't help but wonder if he's pissed that he actually help out so much, ROFL. I don't think he'd ever received so much praise in his life! But yes, this is why I think Darkcoin with Evan and Kyle and all those wonderful people that help out by compiling windows, creating miners, making tutorials, etc... is going to be an amazing coin. |

Nope, they don't need to communicate. The masternode with the money just needs to sign a message with it. That node broadcasts it to the whole network. After than the secondary masternode is good to go.
Could you disconnect the masternode with the money from the network and even send it to cold storage once the secondary masternode is in the network? that's the whole point of it  Yeah, I basically wanted an official confirmation  Nope, both need to be online. At least for now. I'm still not understanding the need for the 1000DRK if it isn't getting mixed. Nothing more than a PoS? It's there as a deterrent. If anyone could put up as many masternodes as they like, then someone could simply put up more than 50% of them, and then they'd be in position to record what is going on, and thereby see where coins are going from where. With the cost of masternodes, it is expensive to build more than 50% of the network, and as the price of darkcoin goes up, it becomes ridiculously expensive. We only need so many masternodes to secure the decentralized network, after that, more masternodes are a drag on the system, so we hope for a balance. So yes, it's effectively a type of POS while also providing work. |

can we raise the price a bit?
Can I smack you in the face with a salmon ??  (f´ing credit card... not even an overdraft or anything, stupid web banking mistake....) check out my sig, use paypal its quick easy and no need for credit card Fucking hell fearcoka, they charge for everything under the sun! I lost 4 dollars on 104 dollar transfer from Paypal first thing. Then they want 4% to buy SLL, which is WAY below going rate at SecondLife, Then more charges, probably 4% to buy BTC, and another 4% to withdraw BTC! WARNING! NEVER EVER USE virwox.com I have tried many times to understand what they do and how much they charge, and they're so confusing over there. I'm pulling out my money, at a loss of $8 for taking a leap of faith. For this I will put them in my sig as a warning never to use them! srsly? Yup 4% to import from paypal, 4% to buy SLL, 4% to buy BTC, and after that, I dunno? Probably 4% to withdraw BTC, I assume. LOL, great, now I have to wait 48 hours!: Note: A handling fee of 0.002 BTC per withdrawal will be charged. Note: While most Bitcoin withdrawals are processed instantly, we manually check some of them for security reasons (for example of new accounts). They will be processed within 48 hours. You will receive an email confirmation when the withdrawal has been processed. Dude im sorry man. Ive bene using them for 2 years now so my account has no fees im assuming. Didnt think it was that bad, ill send a message telling them its not welcoming with that many fees. Not angry with you, so no worries, just irritated that I fell for them and that they were that greedy  |

Buying BTC via Paypal>VirWox>SSL>BTC cost 3.9% at each turn and a conservative, truthful 17.5%, probably more, commission on the whole mess when taking into consideration that the prices you pay on their exchange are far higher than any other. Plus, being new, they are holding my BTC for 48 hours, so I didn’t even get speed from them.
I highly suggest never using them. I paid the price, if you read this, please don’t pay the price as well!

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.
So you have to keep it running on another machine, presumably your home machine, with the wallet unlocked? You don't have to keep your local machine's wallet unlocked permanently, or even open. Once the remote machine master node starts you can close the local machine's wallet and hide it away for safe keeping. Ok, and nobody can sell those coins, or withdraw? They system will know? It's no different than them just sitting there in your open qt wallet. If you have an encrypted Darkcoin wallet it must be unencrypted for a short time while you are starting the master node. All coins remain on the local machine's wallet and do not move. Your local machine has to get the private keys, sign a message with them, send it to the server, and then have the server broadcast a message proving you own them in order to start a masternode, which is why it must be unencrypted. If Evan didn't do this, a single 1000 DRK wallet could be copied to infinite machines to run master nodes. Okee Dokee! Will have to get on this asap... |

Do I need to deposit SLL's because then I'd have a balance... wait no... I have to have SLL's in VirWox to trade for bitcoin, yet I can't deposit SLL's into VirWox from SL, I have to buy the SLL's from VirWox with fiat before I can trade for BTC, is that finally right? Very hard to tell what my final price for BTC would be then?? I just don't understand why I can't buy BTC with the USD? Or why I can't use the SLL's I already own to buy the BTC's? Ugh! Why all the complications? BTW, you can smack me in the face with a (Non-frozen) Salmon if I get to eat it  |

It's already implemented, I think. Just don't know how to use properly. strings .darkcoin/darkcoind-testnet | grep masternodeaddr
-masternodeaddr
Invalid -masternodeaddr address: '%s'
Well, until you figure it out, I have no hope, LOL. Hope you can update your tutorial soon then, chaeplin. BTW, have I thanked you properly? You're the man, seriously! Thanks! |

A lot of people are having trouble with the latest non-beta wallet. And I don't believe we have a RC1 Mac wallet yet. The second problem is an issue because the code is closed. Evan is trying to get a setup where he can compile a mac wallet, but I don't think he's gotten there yet???
If I want to go with the win wallet, which version is the newest (or I should say most reliable)? I do keep antivirus on win, firewall, and all that, so it should be safe. I just figured the mac side of my dualboot may be safer, since I rarely use mac os. But if it's flakey, I may just go with the win version for now. And any issue if I want to move coins from a really old wallet (like back when drk was still cpu only mining)? I left about 100 stranded drk on an old laptop and would like to move them off. Well, 2 things. First, you don't even have to have your coins on a machine. just make a backup of your wallet while it's running, ie: Files => Backup Wallet and give it a name so you know where it came from, such as DRK_Old_Laptop.dat and put it on a jump drive (or take all your backups and put them on several jump drives, then keep those safe in different areas.) Second way to backup is to simply open up the darkcoin folder when the wallet in NOT running, (in windows it's User/You/AppData/darkcoin/wallet.dat), rename the wallet as above to show which wallet it is and back it up on a jump drive again. Finally, you can always download the RC1 wallet for windows, deposit all your distributed coins into that one, make a backup of that single wallet.dat file and close out the program (remove the darkcoin folder) from your windows machine. NOw your coins are in "cold storage" and off line. 1. Please make sure you set a passphrase before you save your wallets, and that it is both complex and that you DON'T FORGET IT EVER!!! 2. You can even write your passphrase down in a txt file and store it with the jump drives. But remember, anyone that can get ahold of your jump drives can get your coins. This can be a good thing if something should happen to you and you want family members to have access to the coin. This is like having cash hidden away in your home. Someone could still physically break into your home and steal it. 3. To get your coins back out of cold storage, install a wallet, then replace the wallet.dat in the darkcoin folder with your DRK_Old_Laptop.dat and rename it to wallet.dat. Do this when the wallet is closed, not running, then restart the wallet and your coins will immediately be there (as long as the wallet was sync'd) |

Yes you just saw it. The best setup is to have 2 machines:
Machine A: Holds 1000DRK, runs as masternode. Use configuration option -masternodeaddr=machineB
Machine B: Holds 0DRK, runs as masternode.
There's no target.
But can we do it now? How? Has anyone done this yet? |

ER... did I just switch threads accidentally? Sorry to hear your coin got attacked, we get that a lot as well...but this is the Darkcoin thread... |

bought 4btc drk at 500  I;m the worst trader  I sold some of my dark at something like 24 or so, bought it back at 51, lost half of 'em! I think I deserve the crown. On the other hand, I'm glad what I have is back in dark, and I won't screw up like that again. Don't be too concerned, seriously, I'm certain it will be going up so much higher, it won't matter. Damn, so sorry to hear that TS. Oh, just sharing, it was my "extra" darks. I still have my two masternodes, and won't risk those! I'm currently thinking of depositing cash into coinbase again, but since I have no visa card, I have to wait 4 business days (more like 5+ with those guys) before I can buy any dark, and by then... ugh, who knows where drk will be? |

I'm new to darkcoin and don't know much about it, but I noticed that Darkcoin.io has an old windows binary. The download on the front page is 0.9.1.2. It's not cool. That should be changed!
I know, both developers have their noses to the grindstone lately, and I can imagine it's hard to switch to do the mundane of keeping the website up to date, especially because the design is still up in the air... Ugh! Where is the newest mac wallet to use? I don't have a ton of coins (maybe 1000ish) but sort of want to consolidate them in a safe place now. I tried using the mac wallet from the main website, but it couldn't sync. Is there a better wallet? Or do I need to set up some files on it or something? A lot of people are having trouble with the latest non-beta wallet. And I don't believe we have a RC1 Mac wallet yet. The second problem is an issue because the code is closed. Evan is trying to get a setup where he can compile a mac wallet, but I don't think he's gotten there yet??? |
