boom time?
BOOOM please  |

that's some eye for design sir!  |

 And, I know it's supposed to be a 2-color design, but what if outgoing transfers would be red and incoming green, easier to differentiate them just with one look? It would be much better to change the arrows to + and - for balance increases and decreases and you do not have to kill the color design! Agreed. The subtlety is good, but the up/down doesn't tell me anything considering the left/right nature in the top bar... Since it's a number, +/- makes more sense. Numbers do not technically go up or down, they get bigger and smaller. A graph describing numbers might go up or down, but this is not a graph... Change to +/-, immediately understandable. It looks damn sexy and I want to hire you to un-suck my websites. A little detail, but... Coinbase shows your BTC ballance to 2 decimal places, but upon mouseover, shows 4. They also round up on that shortened version, which really messes with you when making a withdrawal. I'd like to see it show show 3 places (matching the mix depth), mouseover to full duffs. Do not round up. Simply show a + or something to let the user know there's a dangly bit of duffs hanging off there. Or, have 4/8 decimal depth be the defult, and the actual values of how deep it goes can be customized. Way easy to do this and it adds another touch to that which is already fucking classy. I would also swap the version label to the left side, mirror the white area that shows the balance so that it appears underneath the stack of numbers. You expect to see the total at the bottom of a stack of numbers... Not on the opposite side. Keeps it more appropriately segregated. Damn beautiful though. I want it... Yep, good point with less decimal places and details will be shown on mouseover - that would make it look even nicer & clearer |

If I weren't so lazy, er, um, busy, I would have redone my masternode (see above) with a new ip etc to get rid of the bad luck, LOL. What I'm trying to say is that you could just reset it to see if your luck changes. Then again, sometimes I think that all the bad luck has passed and my node is due for some good luck??
Like I said, that's why it's nice having 2 nodes because it is more likely to even out.
Will do, at least it will provide me with a mental comfort  |

Yep, have a node that earned 1 DRK in 22 days - folks here suggest this is a natural result of random distribution which I am afraid it is not.
Yep, I have studied probability & statistics so do not try that one on me.
If there is 45% chance of getting paid on any day, what is the probability of getting 1 positive result out of 22? You tell me :-)
In a bigger scheme of things I do not mind but the distribution is far from random.
Were you paid once or were you elected once? Paid, because I got the figure for probability of getting paid, which is around 45% over the last 20 days. In fairness, I got elected 5 times, which is still quite poor but not as unbelievable |

Experiencing some rather odd Masternode payment "variance". I have 3 nodes presently running, with monitoring showing they've never been down (once I got emails from the service, but I immediately checked all of them, and they were all still running). They show green on all of his servers as well as "1" in MN list. Highest present estimate of nodes (poolhash): 682 I had one go more than 8 days without payment (or votes): (681/682)^(576*  = ~0.00116 Worse, presently these 3 nodes haven't been payed (or voted) in more than 3 days: (679/682)^(576*3) = ~0.000492 I'll file this under category: "Unlikely" Yep, have a node that earned 1 DRK in 22 days - folks here suggest this is a natural result of random distribution which I am afraid it is not.

Hey guys,
.......
Look forward to seeing the new Darksend+, finally nice to see some healthy competition in the anon space.
Now that was poor.... |

Yo! Just made the second highest contribution to Kristov - All my MN payments for 22 days! my node has been up&running.  Well, actually it is just 1 DRK |

DRK would not be hurt even if the number of miners dropped by 90%.
Don't be silly. The more there are miners the safer the coin will be. You are right and so am I |
|

Actually miners are the BACKBONE of the system.......
Let me guess... Miner? On one hand, you are right. On the other hand - DRK would not be hurt even if the number of miners dropped by 90%. |

Great post Nthelight, thank you. Can I have a question that seems very basic but can't get an answer to it... How many miners are required for the coin to function? Is it 1% of the current hashes? What is the mining rate after which there is little benefit for the coin? 10%? 50%? Do not get me wrong, I am not trying to suggest we could have done with less miners - I am just being curious And sorry if this sounds stupid to you  I'm pretty sure a single mid-range GPU could comfortably service the whole bitcoin network in realtime, and never break 50 celsius. The POW concept revolves around decentralisation - it doesn't take much compute power to chuck a few numbers around the blockchain, but you need it distributed to prevent one party or one bloc swamping the rest - the 51% attack. The investment needed to generate coins - by miners and in our case by MN ops, is one of the things that lends a coin value - if it's cost you £x to generate y coins, you probably wont want to be selling them for <£x. Great, thank you for such a nice clear explanation! |

I've been thinking about this one.....
Masternode = Proof of Stake mixing node only for the wealthy requires 1000DRK and imposes 20% tax on Miners
Miners = Doing the actual work to secure the network.
The mixing nodes require far less resources, and are basically nothing more than a wallet with some additional code activated; this is giving far too much reward value to the early adopters and wealthy. This is bad for the coin.
Mining is the democratic process that will determine the future of this coin; I'm not mining on a pool that pays masternodes. Enforcement will cause a hard fork with the miners abandoning the enforcing branch.
Fix the masternode so everyone holding the coins participates, regardless of wallet balance and make it truly peer to peer proof of stake/proof of work hybrid. Make everyone a Masternode, not just the wealthy/early adopters.
I am neither rich nor early adopter yet I decided to risk & put a few of my paychecks into masternode in exchange for possible prospect of continuous income. My investment raised the value of the coin and I am being very slowly rewarded for my risk. Granted, we need a certain amount of miners. However there is no need for gigahashes/petahashes due to self regulating difficulty. Even if the ratio between mining and MN changed 50:50 there would be enough miners here "working" as the difficulty would decrease accordingly. 80:20 ratio is fair and if you think masternodes bring more returns then mining... guess what you should do? :-) |

All we needed was another poster of a guy with a gun & coming to get ya message  |

Have just bought another 100 drk and further purchases in line if the price drops below .01. The coin is bound to have a bright future with such a huge number of trolling in here |

If you do not like 20% support to the masternodes feel free to mine one of remaining 99.8% coins on the market Or just mine on a pool that isn't collecting the 20% tax like many people are doing. by many you mean the number that decreased to 25%? |

ah, why does it have to show the user is ignored? I just do not want to see him at all |
