I'm having issues with my Darkcoins...

more info needed...

wallet.dat seems to have gotten corrupted trying to upgrade.

try reverting back to a backup, delete your peers.dat and start the wallet with command option -reindex

edit : which previous darkcoin wallet / client version were you using ? If you were using a rather old client / wallet
then you may need to export / import yr priv key (all of them) into a new wallet.



I've recovered a few coins, looks like 90% of them were sent out to a mixer or something a bunch of 1 DRK transactions then a few 0.1 DRK

I have a theory that Alantis was an anti-diluvian high-tech civilization with circular flying machines and that the guys at Area 51 study this ancient technology and license it to Apple. I believe the Moon has well-preserved anti-diluvian technology that ends up in your iPhone.

Until Atlantis is actually discovered it is only a myth and a theory.

Are the Easter Island stone heads just a "myth"?

When you look at the video "‘Magicians of the Gods’, snapshots of a work in progress," by Graham Hancock, you see that, even though the times of the events may not be correct, that there was a worldwide trade collaboration, far in the distant past. The thing known as "Atlantis" may or may not have been a separate island location. It may have been the capitol of the worldwide trade organization. It may have been a pattern, something like flags proclaim what nation or grouping we exist with. Only the "flag" called "Atlantis" may have been something far greater than a simple flag like we have. It may have been the symbol of the various relationships to the ancient worldwide trade organization, built in a shape, right in the ground of certain lands, built to resemble the capitol city of Atlantis.

The point is, whatever the timelines, whatever the archaeological finds, whatever ancient technology existed, there was a time in the distant past, for sure beyond 4,500 years ago, where worldwide civilization existed. And this civilization was far greater in some ways than ours is today, both scientifically (different kind of science), and maybe in population, as well.

The term "Atlantis" may certainly have its base in a single "place." But there is a good chance that the word "Atlantis" was a term devised to encompass the whole worldwide trade organization of the distant past.

Is it a big step to suppose that this is what they're working on in area 52; that space aliens while probably out there are not the source of the technological inspiration?

I only ask because the grammatical errors in the title of this thread have a direct correlation the "IS UFO or ALIENS are real ?" thread and it's a simple case of putting a + b together for me.

It is not a big step, but...

Even though scientists and archaeologists seem to have figured out that there was this great big cataclysm around 12,000 years ago, there is still one problem. That problem is this. They use carbon dating as a basis for dating everything before about 2,500 BC. The reason that they do this is, we don't have any "pottery" and such that can be accurately dated from before about 4,500 years ago.

Sure, there are scientists who date pottery from earlier dates. But there are also those who have good reasons to suggest that dates beyond 4,500 years ago are unrealistic.

Carbon dating is based on the dates of that old "pottery" and such. It is extrapolated for earlier times. But, C-14 dating may be giving us the wrong dates for times before 4,500 years ago. Why? Because before 4,500 years ago is a time for which we don't have any "pottery" from, pottery that can be conclusively dated.

Why isn't there any pottery from before that time? Because the cataclysm that has been arbitrarily dated to a much earlier time, actually happened at that time - 4,500 years ago. Before the cataclysm happened, there was a difference in the way C-14 worked and the amounts of C-14 that were everywhere on earth.

The speed of light is not the constant that people have thought. Even now it varies a little bit all the time. All kinds of things were different back before 4,500 years ago, before the Great Flood of Noah's day. The Flood itself was probably caused by the gigantic comet (an ice comet) that is depicted in the video. It brought not only an excessive amount of water to the earth, but it also might have changed the way C-14 acted, so that we are getting a skewed picture of how old the Earth is from C-14 extrapolated dating.

These things that I am stating are not things that we know for certain. However, if you search for the idea that many of the physics constants that we trust in now, may not have been the same constants in the past, but may have been variables in the ancient past, you will find that we really don't know. Even core samples that are dated by methods other than C-14, may be wrong because of our inability in determining exactly what we are looking at age-wise.

In other words, much of the time-line of Earth history may really overlap so that all kinds of things in the ancient past might have happened much closer together, or even overlapped. The only way we could tell for sure is to build a time viewer and watch people as they are actually doing things back then. Graham Hancock suggests that there might be a big scientific coverup, because it would disrupt the way we understand physics, making us have to go back and start over in our thinking.

Beyond about 4,500 years ago, NOTHING is certain in the age of the earth or the timeline of what happened.

6110  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & KGW on: January 17, 2015, 10:36:08 PM
Sorry if this issue has already been addressed but,

I'm concerned that all the scam mining companies that have centralized mining might be paid off to attack the network by dropping several hundred petahashes thereby preventing any transactions from confirming and effectively killing Bitcoin. No confirmations for days/weeks would be devastating.

KGW should be added to the upcoming fork to prevent this kind of attack IMO.

There are only approximately 290 petahashes per second running on the entire global network right now. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to drop "several hundred".

If 145 petahashes of mining equipment were to be suddenly and instantly destroyed, the result would be that the average time between blocks would increase to 20 minutes (not days or weeks). And the difficulty would adjust within a month so that block times were back to 10 minutes again.  This wouldn't "destroy" Bitcoin.  Since there is such a high variance in the time between blocks already, most people wouldn't even notice a temporary increase to a 20 minute average.

Losing 50% would result in 20 min block time, I guess that makes sense. Perhaps I've seen too many alts get totally screwed and forced to emergency fork to add KGW.

Is it really a bad idea to add it?
The reason alts without KGW or something similar got screwed is because of multipools making up almost all the mining on these alts. One moment they had a high hashrate, then the difficulty spiked up, the multipools moved away and the hashrate dropped by 95%.

Such a scenario simply won't occur for Bitcoin. And changing the difficulty algorithm will require a hard fork, which is hard enough to do for actual improvements, let alone arbitrary additions that are most likely never needed.

Consider the following scenario:

a. Scam mining companies control 50% of the hashing power.

b. Scam mining companies build enough 14nm hashing power to more than double the network hash rate.

c. Scam mining companies put all the new 14nm hardware online all at once.

d. Difficulty level skyrockets.

e. Scam mining companies take all their hardware off-line.

f. Block generation time is extremely unlucky and what would normally be a 10 min confirmation time is an hour.

g. DDoS attacks on nodes skyrocket.

In this type of scenario is confirmation time really only 20 minuets?
What's the point? This would cost the "scam mining companies" a ton of money without them gaining anything. Also, the actual scam mining companies (I assume you mean cloud mining services) don't actually have hardware to mine with (which is where the "scam" part comes in).

The costs involved would be a small price to pay to help secure the fiat scam network from a trustless monetary system. However, I think the point here is to deny service and cause long wait times; this is standard banking m.o..

The scam part of scam mining companies comes into play when they take customers money for miners to be delivered within specific timeframe and give them nothing and refuse refunds while running the hardware themselves.

Cloud mining is this same style of scam i.e. taking money and providing nothing of value under the guise of mining only without involving any hardware; this scam has much lower overhead. However, I was referring to the hardware scammers (as indicated by the reference to 14nm) in my scenario.

Satoshi? Yeah, I don't know about that.

I do know Matt Carson and/or Dan Murtha from Minersource will be there. Perhaps somebody could ask them where the fuck the millions of dollars in customer funds are? Maybe they could also explain why they partnered with the Romanian faggot scammers Alex Sovu and Dan Andronic from Black Arrow.

Where's my fucking money assholes?
