Hello,

I am a film music composer, but also a huge fan of crypto-currencies and especially DarkCoin.

DarkCoin has inspired me to compose a DarkCoin Anthem and the music was already performed by a huge 100 musicians symphonic orchestra for me. The music theme is really great and will motivate all people who invested in DRK and also their friends once they hear the anthem. It is also against all trolls, who think they can manipulate people to lose their motivation.

I will soon upload the music to YouTube, but will need some graphics, images and also a possible 3D video of the DarkCoin logo. I would be happy if somebody will provide me with this media, so I can make a great YouTube presentation of the DarkCoin.

Feel free to contact me at tcherkin@gmail.com

Thanks,

Georgii Cerkiin

It doesn't require a hardfork if the coinjoin organizers aren't paid by block reward, but instead by those they are coinjoining for. Or better yet, it would be decentralized and no one would be paid at all.


The reason PoW works so well is because you can prove it. You can say "hey, here is the block header I have and here is it's hash. As you can see, it's hash is below the target, therefore I have created a block".

Coinjoin organization is a series of messages. You could (A) have a central authority see if the masternode is facilitating coinjoins and keep a log of behaving masternodes, or you could (B) just trust that the miner is right about whether the masternode was behaving at block X, or you could (C) trust your peers. Option A invokes trust in a central authority, option B allows miners to pay themselves (assuming they're operating as a masternode) every time and option C opens you up to sybil.

TL;DR PoR is an oxymoron because you can't construct a proof that you are offering a resource.

Bitcoin is a lot like HTTP. It is an application layer protocol and tools can be built on it (like websites can be built on HTTP). There is a class of cryptocurrencies that promise features like casino websites and exchanges and anonymity protocols to be built on top of them.

When creating a new website, one doesn't make a new protocol unless it is necessary. For example, HTTPS is an encrypted version of HTTP, therefore it is useful and necessary. When creating an app such as "DarkSend", one doesn't need to make a new protocol such as "Darkcoin". This is synonymous to making an HTTPS alternative (eg. HTTPSX) for your new website for encrypted chat and not adding any new security or functionality to HTTPSX.

Because Darkcoin is by far the most popular cryptocurrency of this class, the Darkcoin example will be covered in this section.

The Darkcoin devs created a tool called DarkSend. DarkSend is an implementation of coinjoin (an anonymity feature originally implemented in Bitcoin[4]) which utilizes the Darkcoin network to organize the coinjoins. If DarkSend becomes open source and is useful, it will be ported to Bitcoin with a few small modifications. Currently DarkSend masternodes are paid 10% of the block reward after they hold 1000DRK in order to become a masternode.[5] This is flawed because while purchasing 1000DRK is trustlessly verifiable, a user running a DarkSend masternode isn't trustlessly verifiable. It is also costs bandwidth to run a masternode, therefore there is an incentive to buy 1000DRK and get a chance at the 10% block reward masternodes are being paid, but not actually act as a masternode. For this reason, DarkSend would work better if the masternodes were paid by those they were helping coinjoin, or if there wasn't a masternode at all and everyone collaborated in a decentralized fashion. The better implementation not vulnerable to the attack described is compatible with Bitcoin, therefore, the Darksend protocol serves no purpose.

Dat 483BTC sell wall oO

Also eduffield could be scrared to go on with his great work with soo much hate around.

I'm pretty mad about this.

Why the huge sell off.

This is why I stopped getting involved with Cryptos for a few months because I am sick of these schemes…

How is that thread proving anything ? If I create a thread named "techsolution is an idiot" does it prove that you are one ?

Thanks!

So one MN currently rewards about 2.3 DRK PER DAY???

This is so insanely profitable it somehow seems to good to be true...Well. I`ll see what my Nodes will do tomorrow.

You guys are catching a falling knife..

Forgive my noobness - what happens when the master nodes get paid? Huge dump?

Don't say Quebecoin... X11 or not its still a country shitty coin,Quebecer don't need Quebecoin,they need Bitcoin(or DRK )

you a right 100%  

miners on btc-e trollbox talking only about lite. If you don't know, users who are talking about coins that are not represented on the BTC-E get BAN immediately.
