I hear you... But I think that in this case, it could provide additional functionality without much overhead... I might be wrong, and I'm no programmer, either. But imagine the usefulness of being able to send a small note, a shipping address, a software key, etc. along with a darksend transaction. It would REALLY add to the usability as a medium of exchange.
Id love a feature like this too but the very last thing we want is something broken. Also my thought about blockchain size, what in 10 years from now? sure hardware gets cheaper and more effective but look at bitcoin blockchain. Id be very much interested if we can shrink the actual blockchain size while maintaining the level of anonymity and security. |

Remember that idea about being able to send a short message via darksend? I was thinking about it again, and it occurred to me that it could work this way:
Each transaction that is denominated also contains an encrypted "message" string. If a "real" message is being sent, a fee (whatever is reasonable) is deducted from the wallet, and included in the denominated sums <- length to be determined by reasonable block size, but I'm thinking something around twitter-sized. We don't want to bloat the blockchain
Each message transaction that contains a message and is not really part of any amount to be distributed has a certain (random) amount removed and added to the block reward. The remaining amount is then sent to the intended recipient. All blocks coming form darksend have encrypted messages strings, but only some of the strings have real messages. The real messages can only be decrypted by the recipient after arriving, perhaps using one of the wallet's addresses as a key.
Encryption should be no problem because the network is hashing encryption anyway - why not use some of it?
If every transaction (at least every Darksend transaction) has an message string attached, it would be impossible to tell which were real or not. It would also add additional, non-transactions to Darksend, which would further obfuscate the in <> out of the pool
The idea is nice BUT , KISS , what first comes to my mind is anything that flows in the blockchain makes it bigger, the second thing is every part we add might be attackable. Im not a programmer, just my common sense. |

Hi, no need to recompile. You can pass these arguments on command line to specify location of darkcoin.conf and the data directory -conf=<file> Specify configuration file (default: darkcoin.conf) -datadir=<dir> Specify data directory ./darkcoind -conf=/path/to/darkcoin.conf -datadir=/path/to/blockdata
TYVM , my fail to not check the commands, didnt knew these commands as i never needed them. |

Hi, anybody here who actually knows why a symlinked .darkcoin folder only allows for ./darkcoind with sudo? I get EXCEPTION: N5boost12interprocess22interprocess_exceptionE
Permission denied
darkcoin in AppInit() folder ownership of .darkcoin is my user who runs ./darkcoind or is there a way pre compile to change the folder directory of .darkcoin? |

its funny how people that learned about bitcoin last 3 months keep talking about the price every single day. Why do you expect to get rich in a day, week or month?
Right now this coin is innovative, with probably a brilliant and dedicated dev but has nothing to offer except speculation since YOU CANT BUY ANYTHING WITH IT RIGHT NOW
How do you expect it to gain value without services, goods etc accepting it?
And because people believe in it they just keep it and dont even trade at exchanges. So with such small volume there is no gain of course even at exchanges...
I sold my Darkcoins in order to buy cheaper, which i did, and people here started talking about dumping. Its not dumping to trade the coin! its how trading goes. I gained 10% only with 2 trades that people considered dumping...
You should make services and companies accept it. Send emails. Even with dogecoin you can buy many things. With darkcoin right now you cant. And probably you wont until darksend is open source.
tl;dr: Make services, sites, companies, exchanges accept Darkcoin and it will flourish. Sell stuff for Darkcoins.Make people accept donations in Darkcoin. Trade Darkcoins on exchanges. Or just keep posting about price droping. The coin is good. Except if dev totally fails, which can happen of course, i trully believe it can reach easily 10m marketcap when a few sites starting accepting it as payment.
Yes these are valid points to consider. But, instead of sitting back and waiting for merchants to accept Darkcoin we should bring Darkcoin to them. We can do this very easily if someone has experience coding and is willing to put in a little work. 1. We can create a wordpress Darkcoin plugin for Woocommerce or Commerce Wordpress themed checkouts. (Similar to what Bitcoin has). If this existed it would drive a lot of merchants to use Darkcoin. 2. We can create a stand-alone API payment plugin for standard merchant sites that do not use Wordpress or Woocommerce. Does anyone have experience doing this kind of stuff that would want to take this on? Maybe there can be a bounty set for this by the person who controls the promotion fund. +1 for shopping cart plugin bounties |

Also, someone slap me if I'm way off base here, but if the difficulty keeps going up, doesn't that imply that more people are mining it, increasing the net hash rate? That hardly sounds like spiraling into oblivion. PROFITABILITY is going into oblivion. which is much better when it is stable look at the chart I posted. it has been going down since day 1. where is the stability on that chart. Look at the god damn image. http://postimg.org/image/kylsqtkm1probably a good long term investment but horrible for daily miner-dumpers like me. Profitability in what sense ? Mine and dump ?  No thanks ! I invest for middle-and long-term, I believe in DRK and don't care the slightest for its value right now as I anticipate its long-term value. Hehe, kindly that remembers me of the very beginnings of bitcoin, there where two groups, those who mine-dumped and those who mine & hold no matter what. I think thats perfectly fine as we need coins distributed cheaply. |

I was trying to mine with my cpu as well as gpu but as soon as I started my cpu my miner crashed so I tryed another coin with only cpu but still crashed would this be something to do with my drivers  What CPU and how much RAM do you have ? Thanks I have a 8x piledriver with 16 gb of ram . I have tried x miner and 1.2 miner with dark coin I also tried mining heavy coin just to test but still crashes. I'm thinking there might be something in my bios I have turn off or my amd drivers. If you run only the CPU miner does it work? Have you tried the 1.3 miner found in the first post? I have tried cpu only but still crashes I haven't tried 1.3 but I tried heavy coin to test with mining program found on there site and that crashes also. Can't get my head round it Does it even start? Did you take a look at the temperatures? What OS are you using? and does your .bat look like this: minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://213.229.88.102:7903/ -u XXXXXX -p x this is kinda weird Have you overclocked your CPU? Stress tested it? You may need to increase the voltage to make it stable @ 100% load. Id also tip on temps or voltage. I got a i5 2500K at 4600mhz with an alpenföhn cooler running at 70-80 degrees, the case is very well cooled. On the otehr hand, why not get a linux distro and try it there? Dualboot is installed in like 15 minutes, if its not working there you know its the cpu. |

BTW, the DarkCoin clone, Hirocoin...... a lot of people over there are excited by the fact that it uses X11, and its low power usage. Clearly a big selling point over here also, but they seem to be doing a good job at marketing the X11. I see X11 written around the place a lot more than here. Just a thought  ... As it seems that X11 is getting a decent amount of attention now. I'm the developer of Hirocoin and I want to help position X11 as the next home of GPU miners. I remember what the GPU miners moving from SHA-256 to Scrypt did for Scrypt based coins like Litecoin. There will come a point where Scrypt ASICs are common and GPU miners will need to move on. Making X11 the standard to move to will be huge news for Darkcoin and Hirocoin. Plus it will bring better tools for our coins. By the way, Hirocoin is more of a Litecoin clone that uses X11. Darkcoin offers anonymity and unique difficulty handling where Hirocoin is your conventional offering but done well. Check GitHub for the thorough work that went into it. Launching Hirocoin helps solidify X11 place in crypto. If Darkcoin is the sole user of X11 it will not get the tractions it needs. Darkcoin is successful and I plan to make Hirocoin successful to, this will bring more attention to X11 and more coins using this solution. Now is the time to push Evan's X11 to secure long term success for Darkcoin. Its not X11 why we excited! Its how darkcoin is managed and how it innovates instead of rinse repeat copy fork cosmetics. |

I keep on scanning the announcements threads looking for new innovative coins but I honestly cannot find a single one since DarkCoin. Nothing but clones, scams and bizarro 50% premine 'country coins'. Nothing else offers anything new or any promise beyond Bitcoin. I wish all the other 'developers' would just give up and stop diluting the market. How much longer will people fall for these??!!
Thats the reason the old hands are sceptic.
Since day one of altcoins it has been rinse repeat the old fork cosmetics scheme. Bring out a fork, do some cosmetics and pump the fk. NO INNVOATION JUST PUMPI see everyday cryptocoin creation request on the freelance websites, jobs range from 800$ to 8K$. To get that this is different, one has to understand the whole bitcoin blockchain mechanism, what forks are and what would make a coin outstanding from beeing a simple pump fork. I sayd it a multiple times, bitcointalk altcoin section is like a ihub board beta, with the difference , the guys in the pennystock forums know pumping way better (you guy could learn a lot from those boards) [sarcasm off]. Darkcoin delivers quality/innovation in every aspect, we have a dedicated coder [ who actually is not a "nobody hiding in moms basement" bringing innovation, some smart guys already are strong supporters and a lot cool stuff in the making. I could start pick really badly on those fork pump coins but instead i lean back now and sipp my evening beer. Bottom line "darkcoin is different" |

iam solomining, is this bad? i get no blocks for a long time. i changed to ubuntu 14.04 and havent found any block yet, my whole log is full of this..
Unless you have 100 mh/s, I don't think you can solo successfully. It could take a year to hit a block, depending on luck. If you joined a P2pool, you'd get a steady income of blocks (your share of what's found) and that's much better. It takes 24 hours to build up to full payments but on the other hand, when you quit, you get payments for 24 hours after. hashrate was not the issue, i installed ubuntu 14.04 and was worried everything is ok. ps, i host a p2p pool too , see my sig. |

cheap, didnt knew that , noted .... |
|
|

Dont allow single pool's to grow too big, if you’re consistent miner there are good reasons to join P2Pool! Reward may appears low in the beginning but consistent miners are rewarded!http://darkcoin.mine.nuChoose the pool node with lowest latency from your local area!example cmd ping 127.0.0.1 the node site only pings servers from the server the site is running on , do your own ping test.

As the first anonymous coin, shouldn't the price be higher? It's getting frustrating seeing it so stagnant after I have continually sunk so much money into it. At first glance it looks like price manipulation, but I could be wrong. Anyone else want to chime in on this?
I think that a lot of people don't actually believe DarkSend will work. Once it's -proven- to work people will change their minds and some momentum can be gained. Going along with that DarkSend needs to be secure and it can NOT be vulnerable to attacks. Evan is obviously working to ensure this but again it's not really -proven- to defeat attacks against it yet. If it truly works, and resists the attacks that will be thrown at it, well...that will be a good day for DarkCoin. Thank you for your informative reply! Also to note, a lot old hands refuse to even look on new altcoins. There must be a some sort of excitement to get them on. I tried to ask luke-jr to at least have a look and got laughed at in the eligius channel (luke seems busy with other important stuff) Graet didnt even answered my pm, lol. My guess this is the general consensus from the old hands. |

while checking my darkcoin-qt debug log i found these :

what does this mean?
connected peer want new block from you, which you anounced. iam solomining, is this bad? i get no blocks for a long time. i changed to ubuntu 14.04 and havent found any block yet, my whole log is full of this.. the difficulty is so high now that you need at least 500 MH to find some deasent blocks yup, just changed to ubuntu 14.04 today, little scared everything works, now i need stratum working asap. |

Is there a proper solution to get the wallet to sync past block 34139?
I started with no user data and a freshly compiled wallet from newest github revision, the nodes from 10-20 pages back and still no full sync. Tried without those nodes, again no user data, and same issue.
Any help?
I just compiled a new node list, not complete yet. Its p2p pool nodes and random connected nodes to my other nodes, all those nodes are pretty much 24/7 currently. try at your own risk http://pastebin.com/ERfv92JFi just loaded a fresh compiled qt wallet wit hthese nodes in 3 minutes 23:08:26

} Thanks but those nodes give me the same result for some reason (even after deleting the blockchain). Could this be a build specific issue (this is a 32 bit linux build) maybe im solely on x64 ubuntu , worked on 12.04 , 13.10 & 14.04 |
