If you're wondering about that, you should REALLY be wondering how Dashcoin is calling itself Dashcoin when there is already a Dashcoin seen here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=678232.1540

You guys stole a name first, now others are just following your lead.

Perchè i miei dark su cryptsy sono diventati dash???

That says a lot right there.

1. VASTLY different. The incentives are what takes us into FinCEN / SEC territory. There's also a very big difference between being paid to facilitate illegal activities (which gives LEA so much leverage against you using tax laws etc.) vs. unknowingly or unwittingly facilitating it (eg. running a Tor / i2p router)

2. Latency is the issue, and the reason that Tor works well against DoS attacks is because it purposely slows routing down (also to prevent timing attacks). Moving all the MNs behind Tor is a commendable attempt, but ultimately futile in that it restricts the level of functionality available (eg. imagine InstantX transactions taking 10-20 seconds because of routing failures).

Also just to clarify, in case there was any doubt, these are hypotheticals. I'm not stating that MNs definitely do require an MSB license, just that it appears on the face of it that they do, or that they are at least going to be up against the wall on income tax. Similarly, I'm not saying that routing InstantX transactions on Tor would definitely take 20 seconds each time, just that my thumb-sucked paper-napkin calculations indicate something in that bracket.

Those people in the dark coin thread are crazy! Its like some sort of cult or something over there. They all have me blocked but I did nothing that could be construed as trolling. They think it was part of some sort of elaborate plan, that i was "laying spider webs" and that it was going to all climate in some sort of very clever troll trap.

It's actually really bad because I run something of a little business on bitcoin talk by selling my impeccable reputation and I cant have people ignoring me. In fact I was tip toeing around the whole time precisely because of this. But it's just apparently SO easy to offend their delicate sensitivities that i somehow managed to do it.

*edit* part of me wants to go over there and try to repair the damage i somehow caused but the smarter part of me knows that if i do ill make things worse.

1. Not holding an MSB license (FinCEN), involvement in a security unregistered with the federal government (SEC), facilitating the purchase of child pornography / drugs / firearms (FBI). They would seize the coins through rubber-hose cryptanalysis.

2. It would also make the network significantly slower - those MNs would have exclusively use Tor for everything, any normal IP connections would leak that they're an MN by virtue of them broadcasting Darksend TXs etc. Additionally, this doesn't prevent MN operator collusion etc.

1. They come to you, and take your coins, ask ross ulbricht.
2. Hyprocrites, i thought u guys are advertising your high speed masternodes and now u want to hide them behind tor?

https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commits/master

There's been no commits to master in 23 days.

The most recent commits modified some MarkDown documents, correcting minor errors and adding known Tor relays.

But don't worry, after 23 days of doing nothing they are now very busy with search/replace to rename the project to Dash: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commits/11.1-dash

Delivering. Always. Nodes.

So obviously you want to double your ROI, which means you have to take half of the MasterNodes out of commission. You don't want to take down all or even most of them, you just want the total number of MasterNodes reduces to 1000. So you do this through a variety of tactics:

1. Report US-based and/or US-owned MasterNodes to FinCEN, the FBI, and the SEC, assist them in shutting them down and seizing the coins held by their operators.

2. Repeatedly DDoS MasterNodes at a particular ISP / datacenter until they change their ToS to not allow MasterNodes.

3. Hack into a portion of the remaining MasterNodes and install a rootkit that watches for Darkcoin source code and modifies it when compiled (or just randomly crashes the daemon if they aren't compiling it themselves). This ensures that these daemons appear to be working to the operator, but they receive so few payments they may as well be offline.

This is all very surreptitious, because 1. looks like The Man has got it in for Darkcoin, 2. looks like the ISP is just being problematic, and 3. is mostly undetectable. You can keep doing this ad infinitum to keep half the MasterNodes offline, and nobody will realise what you're doing. It'll look like the sort of attacks the community expects to come, and they'll rationalise it for you by loudly claiming that 1000 MasterNodes is good enough.

hi , can anyone help me out.
im trying to run shadow client from my iMAC but somehow i can't find the map Shadowcoin in Application Data folder. I also did the command to show hidden files but its still not there.

I also have loaded the shadow client to create the map upon searching for it.

thanks

I can =)  The next release of the daemon will have a modified theft-recovery system inside of it as well as some of this functionality. 

Tungfa,

www.dashpay.io?

@dashpay?

Are these official?

type this:

neos dumpprivkey <neos address>

There is via commandline for sure.  I'll make a note to put that in the wallet interface under 'tools' though.  I'm working on rolling out some patches right now and then fixing the backup tool.  I'll get on top of that immediately though - I've been meaning to.

     Best regards,
