Ugh, I'm having the age old syncing problem. my windows 7 wallet is on beta 6 and doing fine. My Ubuntu wallet is on beta 6 and not syncing. I took the same info from my windows wallet and put it in my Ubuntu wallet, so it was then synced up until that point. at this time, it's like an hour behind, doesn't show any errors but does say I have 0 active connections and when I do a "getmininginfo" I'm behind in the block numbers.
I can't figure out why it won't sync when both wallets have the same internet connection, same nodes in their config files and I even brought over the peers.dat file from the functioning wallet.
Is there something wrong with the Ubuntu beta 6 wallet? Has anyone tried it yet? Please let me know, thanks !!
What do you have in darkcoin.conf for connection ? (example : addnode, connect, seednode ) This is what I have in both config files: rpcuser=Me
rpcpassword=CrazyPassword
server=1
addnode=54.80.16.112
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37 |

Evan,
Darksend is a much bigger feature than what it seems to be in the windows wallet (just a checkbox in 'send' tab currently).
Instead of having this checkbox inside the 'Send' tab, I propose the following:
1) remove 'Use DarkSend' checkbox
2) add a 'DarkSend' tab between the 'Send' and 'Receive' tabs*
3) this new tab looks and functions exactly the same as the send tab but it uses darksend technology when submitting.
This will be much better UX to differentiate this technology from standard technology.
* You can also consider putting darksend tab before the send tab.
I don't like redundancy. What about this? -> The QT client immediately switches to a darker GUI skin (basically a dark gray [current coin logo color] bakcground) whenever DarkSend is checked. (And may be the checkbox gets a little bit more notabale on the Send tab.) Just remember, newbies already find wallets confusing. They are simple and easy to navigate if you use them regularly. True, but I like coinzcoinzcoinz suggestion, because as he later said, you can explain how darksend works, warn of disconnection fee, etc... make a nice big progress bar or some such to show how things are progressing, and have room for that information, making it less complex to use in the end (along with a warning that you're not using privacy features in the send tab) |
|
|

But now I am here. I mine it since a few days and I bought ~800 DRK today, so I can reach the 1k mark until the official DarkSend launch.
Does this make me a robber?
800 DRK at today's prices? That was a steal. So, technically, yes....you did rob someone. They were a willing participant, it was between (hopefully) consensual adults. Nothing illegal happened, lol |

Can someone explain to me what is going on in this block/transaction? Block 17543 (000000000542628747303786cb09be1456998508cc3d70ede07b16c20fe75514), the only transaction (1b4c93a3bf49ad4855f74121aea68517b1073fd3a75943e19f956ae553cd2207), specifically the third output
And to make things easier, here is the transaction:
It's easier to see in the explorer: http://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/tx.dws?1b4c93a3bf49ad4855f74121aea68517b1073fd3a75943e19f956ae553cd2207.htmIt looks like some coin was sent but it was broken up in a payment and a fee? But not sure? |

99% of the current holders haven't been anywhere near the first days, so all these people are trying to do is to rob us.
I didn't find DarkCoin before mid-March and didn't start actively mining or buying it before early April (tried to do so in late-March but I got driver issues and the price jumped up right then...). There were way too many coin launches between December and February and I didn't have the whole day (every day) to really check them all out. I wish I found this coin earlier and spend less time by hesitating if it's really as good as it seems for the first look. But now I am here. I mine it since a few days and I bought ~800 DRK today, so I can reach the 1k mark until the official DarkSend launch. Does this make me a robber? Oh no, he was talking about people who think we should spread the wealth by doing an "airdrop" of 2 million more coins into the system, giving it out to people who have posted here. This isn't going to happen, no worries  |

The correct thing to do would have been to abort the launch and try again unless the point was to get a bunch of coins out in a day or two - this will always remain an issue, don't see a good way to fix it. That being said, I've bought a bit of drk as a curiosity but do know some people that simply passed on this coin because of the day 1 stuff.
Except nobody realized what was happening until over a day later. By then, Evan thought he fixed it, but still had no idea what the damage was until a block explorer was made. By then, Evan had people who had invested a lot of time into the coin, he would have lost all the interest from those people, and they wouldn't have come back were he to re-launch. |

Hello, Community, I almost do not post in this thread but have been following DRK since late January. I am an adult, an investor and have so far invested around 30K USD into DRK. I love the product and if it is to be succesfull it will be based on its merits of offering value to its users, being Darksend and anonymity the most attractive feature and I hope there are more added in the future.
I am investing in the integrity of the DEV team, in the added value proposition of Darksend and in future additions like messaging, etc. The value of the coin is not in giving it away to miners as they see fit, the value is in offering benefits that bitcoin does not already offer to the intended end users, people like me, who don't mine. This is in my opinion the only altcoin that is offering something BTC does not to regular users. Other coins like Vert offer something to miners but it does nothing for me as an end user that BTC doesnt already do. So please DEV team, forget about complaining teenagers, show some respect for the people backing up this project and lets focus on adding features and benefits.
Finally, I will like to set up several master nodes, I lack the technical capability and time to do it myself but will be hiring somebody to do it for me. In that sense I would really appreciate a comprehensive guide on how to set up the master nodes, I think that would be a way better use of the time of the more technically inclined in this forum. Thanks
+1 000 000 ! Yes! Whole heartedly agree + my $20,000 invested into DRK. I am in the same boat as the above poster, this airdrop stuff is hard to watch. Focus is the key to success, without it we will dwindle into the ether of existence. Focus on what makes this project worth your time Evan, it will only produce results that compliment the effort. LOL, I've gotten myself up to 2000 coins and felt so good, like I had all the coins in the world! Now I feel so puny, LOL You two guys can definitely afford to buy my mother-in-law. Now only 19,500 DRK. With some night school, she can cook and run a few master nodes.
Another LOL |

Thanks for the tip. I think I will mine it. They might clone darksend too. Is there a way to get some DNA from Evan?
If there was a way Tante would have figured it out by now.  OMG I'm literally ROFLMAO! I was controlling myself from saying many things (off colored humor again) and then looked below, and what did I see? ROFLMAO! You all know me too well already, I must truly learn to control myself better! |

I'll bet someone will come up with a basic guide and I know the developers are going to try to build safety into this, but do be sure, especially with that much invested, that you cover all security issues possible. Just saying |

The negative became positive because DRK achieved, even by accident, a distribution formula that is not killing its daily price due to enormous inflation. If you inflate fast at the start and inflation is steeply reduced after a while, you won't have the problem that other coins have. Everyone can get cheap coins at the start yet inflation is not as a large problem for the next months / years. I think this form of coin distribution will prevail because people have realized that inflation is killing prices yet the monetary base HAS to expand so that the coins can be distributed. So it'll either be proof of stake (yeah right), or fast mining + declining production in an accelerated timetable (ie what bitcoin did in several years, an altcoin will have to do in weeks/months).
I have a few vertcoins -just in case it did some kind of spike due to LTC people moving over there- and vert can't go up due to the daily inflation and dumping. Most coins require multiple times the BTCs that DRK production requires and hence they go down and down and down because there are not enough BTCs around to buy these coins. DRK has no such issue due to the fast production in the start and slower production right now.
You can have a coin that needs like 50-60 btcs per day that will be dumped every day and then cry why the price is always going down (like most altcoins), or be able to at least resist the downward trend if not go higher, as DRK does with the 0.0012 - 0.0014 levels.
I completely agree. |

Can we please stop replying to that complete waste of time? This white knight for all the "scammed and miserable" ...
All it does is fuels his desire to be centre of the attention.
Does he do it often? LOL, then I'm wrong and he's an idiot, what can I say? I always hope for the best, especially if I lost my temper, 'cause then I feel so bad........ I'm 17 soon i am not a kid. Also it's going to be a petition not a vote. I will simply put an honest account of darkcoins history. A solution to compensate people cut out from mining. And make a petition. If a lot of people sign. Then though sheer TRUTH SPREADING alone a lot of pressure can be applied. Anyway i need to finish my game now. The last of us - such a great game has anyone played it? Ah yes. But you are very young and I don't think you comprehend what that would do to the coin. Please consider this: 1. many people have paid a lot of money for coin, with the statistics laid out before them. They knew of the history of the coin, yet they decided to buy anyway. So they took into consideration the history of the coin and the future total number of coins that will be mined. You want them to accept a short term increase of 33% of the total number of coins mined this year, decreasing the value a minimum of 30%, but likely to crash the market and kill the coin. Look at what the "airdrop" for Auroracoin did. People collected the coins and cashed them out right away, not caring that the price was crashing, they were getting something for nothing. It is human nature, and I'm sorry, but at 17 you will still be idealistic, blindly so if you don't see this coming. 2. Doing this would remove all trust in this coin. People would feel the developer is untrustworthy, changing the game at the drop of a hat. I argued against changing the number of coins to be mined, not just because I thought a larger number of coins was good for the usefulness of the coin, but because I didn't want things mucked with. I think stability is important. But since it actually increased the future value of the coin due to making it more scarce, it was overwhelmingly supported. But remember, people will always vote themselves more money, it's human nature. It's why a democracy can never work and why the United States is a Republic. Until they understand the consequences. Unfortunately, the masses have other things on their minds than to dig in deep enough to make a wise decision. That's why we're always in financial trouble I'm very glad you've become interested in cryptocurrency. In a few years, you will have a good understanding of economics if you keep up with it. |

The alt coin community decides on something which is led by Edu, not a single dev here could do the same he does.
Good joke.
No worries, I think we get some children in here, and they just don't grasp it all. This one seems like a kid to me for some reason. Let him learn My bad that I get so annoyed by trolls, but seriously every single week there is that 1 guy who comes here full butthurt because he spent his time with shitcoins instead of mining/investing into something more valuable. Now he wants to airdrop DRK-s to people who before it didn't give a single damn about this coin but obviously they will say yes to something that is free and has a value. I am suprised that people who know about cryptos and have the basic intelligence to be able to install a browser and register on bitcointalk fail to have common logic. I don't know this is fact, just got this feeling, he seems smart enough, but isn't getting it all, so I'm guessing a kid. May just be an idiot, LOL. There are so many people posting silly things, nothing will be taken seriously. I was rude to him too, LOL, he'll learn, if he's a kid. |

Thanks, Propulsion. I've tried to post it here two times but it got lost in this name change / pre-mine / troll-feeding posts. tl;dr: latest beta wallet (v0.10.2.0) still doesn't sync after block 46226. This was a problem with the windows wallet, which was updated yesterday/night before. Please try to download again. If that doesn't work, maybe try deleting your darkcoin folder ( but save your wallet.dat) I'm quite certain re-downloading should fix it. I had the same problem, and it worked for me. That took care of the problem, thank you. The most recent version on the website (Windows) is v0.9.1.2-unk-beta. Note to dev team: On the web server, can you change the filename of darkcoin-qt to reflect which version it is or otherwise annotate near the download link which version it is? Makes checking if you have the most updated version easier. Thanks! Yah, but in this case, it didn't even get a new version number. It had a small error and they just fixed it and threw it up there, LOL |

Even though it's annoying for us, at the same time, it's cool kids can get involved in this kind of thing. Good for them to learn |

I'm sorry, I missed that you were using the darksend beta V5. That wallet has not been updated. There is so much being changed at the moment, he didn't bother. Something should be out again soon though. Sorry, please go back to the regular wallet for now |
