446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Dark Wallet make Dark Coin Irrelevant? on: November 20, 2014, 09:31:52 AM
Dark Wallet will basically do for BitCoin what Dark Coin does, right?
So, why would anyone want or need Dark Coin?
I am asking as a Dark Coin purchaser, wondering if it will be developed out of existence by Dark Wallet and other similar tools.
Thanks,
JT

a) Would you trust a browser plug-in/addon with your funds...I wouldnt with the amount of exploits that could steal your funds.
b) Darkwallet is a centralized mixing service...a single server is performing the mixing. If this server is compromised all the mixing could be unscrambled. Darkcoin has over 1000+ of these mixing servers that get sent through multiple rounds of mixing through random servers (up to Cool which makes it infinitely more anonymous.
c) Darkwallet is relying in archaic and ancient BTC technology...Darkcoin is introducing features such as instant transactions etc.

Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 20, 2014, 02:41:51 AM
I guess Fincen could take the position that with ring signatures, all the signing parties are somehow involved in each other's transmission, and thus merely using or mining Monero would be illegal.  But its still more a stretch, and they would have to go after every user, rather than try and crack down on more centralized masternodes.

Getting your inputs to be part of a ring signature (when it's actually not you sending a tx) is a completely passive event, that requires no approbation from you whatsoever. This is completely different from a masternode that is actively mixing coins, being exactly the same as a bitcoin mixer. The latter should be easy to convince of helping money laundering, but the ring signature looks pretty much impossible to outlaw (in a country that remains reasonably democratic). I find this to be a very elegant property of cryptonote privacy.

No, it's not exactly the same. You don't send your coins to a masternode. The money doesn't go to masternodes and from there back to users, i.e. they are not transmitting money.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but this quote from "eduffield" seem to say otherwise (That the transaction is routed/transmitted through the masternodes)
 
Quote
These nodes are the foundation of DarkSend, all transactions will be routed through these nodes.

Source : https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-update-masternode-requirements-masternode-payments.225/

EDIT:

Even in the DRK-Wiki it says:

Quote
Masternodes are network nodes, owned by the users of Darkcoin network. They perform the coin mixing service of DarkSend which anonymizes transactions.

A post from 8 months ago - lol....The masternodes do not transmit money or coin of any kind.

Masternode operators cannot be implicated with any money laundering what so ever.

Does anyone know when the November MN payment increase will occur to 25% or if this is already in affect, is it when it hits a certain block or a certain date?

Looking forward to Decembers 30% too Cheesy

Total Masternodes: 992 = 991 actives + 1 inactives (Last refresh: Wed Nov 19 2014 05:28:43)
Estimated daily payout for an active node (blocks with MN payments last 24h: 100%): 0.7 DRK/day (Last Refreshed: Wed Nov 19 2014 05:28:43)

Almost 1000 MNs, we are climbing...
Just downloaded the windows client this evening.  More than likely going to take me near the rest of my life to raise 1,000 but what the heck I'm going to give it a shot Smiley

I like that dedication - let us know if you need any assistance Smiley

Darkcoin for sure.

Monero still works only with a command line interface...this along with its other issues will prohibit mainstream users wanting to use it. Only the select few from the Monero community.
452  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][Blocknet] The internet of blockchains | XBridge | true cross-chain P2P on: November 18, 2014, 08:44:59 PM
ohhh???

Kademlia

You may have failed to notice that the post that you quoted does not assert that DHT isn't true P2P; it asserts that Kademlia - and whatever else Bittorrent uses - isn't.
If I happened not to add, for completeness of expression, that some DHT is serverless, that doesn't mean we're now using a method that isn't true P2P.

With respect to DHT, being serverless is what counts as far as I'm aware.
With respect to inter-node communication, using a P2P protocol and not RPC calls is what counts.
Lastly, it'll benefit you to recall that Dan has proposed a hybrid DHT-mesh.


Oh my bad, this was the part I think you think you thought it wasn't, I think?


Kademlia... that's distributed hash tables, aka DHT. DHT uses servers to lookup and locate nodes. Therefore it's not truly distributed, thus not P2P.

I think the benefit here, for you, is that what you're doing is done so you can do what you do best which is twisty fluff like the best of them.

Lol post of the week.

Just out of curiosity. There are so many coins involved with blocknet. Why is it only the xc dev and xc pr talk in here???  Where are the other coin devs and other coin community members?

We've just added UdjinM6 to the core development team. Welcome to the team!

Excellent decision!! Congrats UdjinM6 - well deserved!

Now lets get someone to complete the QT GUI overhaul and we are laughing!!

I dont think putting down other legitimate coin projects is a smart thing to do. Both Darkcoin and Monero are fully open source and honest efforts.  I support DRK for many reasons, the lower emission curve and the incentive to hold through masternodes make it at least in the mid term a safer investment.  Monero is at the moment a highly inflationary coin, although a solution to that may be found in the future. Darkcoin is a deflationary coin with a low block reward that is reduced by 7% each year.

Also Darkcoin ceased to be a coin which only value added is anonymity, we are working hard to add fast confirmation transactions too, private testing has been successful and public testing should start soon. We are estimating around 20 seconds confirmations on main net.  This can have amazing implications for betting, so making it a unidimensional comparison about anon is no longer appropriate.

Finally, Darkcoin uses the exact same Bitcoin API and Bitcoin code base, so if I am deciding on a coin to add to my service right now, I would definitely add Darkcoin over Monero.  Just because Monero uses a completely different codebase (Cryptonote) that hasn't endured the test of time yet and there are some basics things missing like an official GUI wallet. So if you are offering a service that is focused on the public at large, people are probably going to find having to use a CLI to be an obstacle for adoption.  This is why I dont consider Monero a direct competitor for Darkcoin and wish the project the best,  but they still have a long way to go and are definitely not ready for wider adoption yet. I think that also shows on the market cap  DRK market cap is approx. 5x that of XMR

Darkcoin has also been featured on mainstream media and might attract new customers to your site, not only Darkcoin community members, but outside users interested in trying Darkcoin's features that they saw on Wired.com or Bloomberg. So from a business perspective I think adding Darkcoin is on your business best interest, I would also keep an eye on Monero to see how it evolves and consider it at a later date.

+1000 Bolded the comment above which sums it all up

Yeah guys... Monero is leading! Takes 2 seconds, click link, vote, done  Cool
Dont endorse this coin vs. coin bullshit. This is a Darkcoin thread, dont hype Monero here. This sux.

yeah! I meant to say... c'mon guys, we cant have Monero beat us!! Even though I dont like betting, I've got to admit its great for the economic growth of DRK (the vote is for a betting platform to adopt a crypto)

Voted. Thanks for the heads up:)
458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which alts are left that have some serious promise and WHY?? in DETAIL. on: November 17, 2014, 12:11:06 AM
Darkcoin - dev & community is one of the strongest. Economic model is sound with masternodes providing a store of value, service to the network and also incentive for return unlike BTC nodes.

Technology is original and still the best. Open Source allowing it to always be improved, by people wanting to make it stronger rather than destroy.

Mainstream media coverage on FOX, Bloomberg and accepted on Bitfinex and now by a few DarkNet markets. Its following the path of BTC years ago.

Upcoming features such as instant transactions and a great and solid roadmap ahead.

460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [SCAM] BLOCKNET: The Metcalf/Prom Alt-Coin Cartel Scam Exposed on: November 16, 2014, 09:55:19 PM

If the value of your shit coin token scheme relies on scamming people with lies on Bitcointalk then it is garbage and has no real value !


Cutting Spoetnik down to the essentials here.

BlockNet/XC gets the criticism right now, because it fits the above description pretty well.  The number of red flags on this project makes it almost impossible to ignore.
Here's a question for everyone to mull over:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829576.5180
This is the Official BlockNet thread, which is a co-operative effort between 10 different coin communities, correct?
So, er....where is everyone ? I'm only seeing XC represented in this thread as a commmunity.
And, how did these coins get selected for BlockNet ?



Thats a great question, you never see any other coin members step foot in the thread, all XC driven - you should post this in the official thread to see what their response is...most likely "We are all working so hard we dont have time for this....thanks for your BTC bye"
