Almost 1000 MN!
how many are required for full testing? ... #crysx Currently 979 elected out of 1874 potentials. So need another 460 or so elected to check the 'booting-the-lowest' thing. |

@thelonecrouton - Is now a good time to revisit the debate about the inherent security issues surrounding centralised mining pools...?  Walter Might as well talk to an ostrich's arse.  |

This one can be a local Multi- Node start wallet. If i remember the first adress with the 1000 vin drk will receive the payment of all within the multi.start wallet. TY again! Byt shouldn't funds go to each wallet instead just first one? I'm not sure but hear from dev that in some case all payments go to the add of first in. I didn't make this conf because too afraid to be hacked and then loose not 1000 drk but all. Well they go to same wallet but all to first address I use start-many and all my MN addresses get paid separately. |

So if I'm understanding this correctly, MiningPoolHub is now forked and all miners currently there are earning nothing and shooting themselves in the foot?
Fairly warms the cinders of one's heart, eh? |

there's a new update, .24! Mandatory? Cold start?
11.1.25 is coming soon Nevermind, enforcement is on and we've forked the bad pools. Everything looks good, upgrade to 11.1.24 if you please  This is awesome. Spork FTW!  Well, we know what to send Evan for Darkcoin's next birthday. |

OK, the masternodes get elected. What do they actually do once they're elected?
They form the consensus lock that facilitates InstantX. Sounds a lot like "that other coin". If you say "gullible" really slowly it sounds like "oranges." But what's your point? |

It looks like Mr. Spread plans to slightly adjust the parameters of the voting process: http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93.msg1872#msg1872So in the next version we will get more votes per block (not just 10), and the DMs will need fewer votes to be elected/deelected. (not 30 votes in the last 60 blocks) This will help the network go thru the voting process faster, so that it will be easier to get elected. This is important because we need the competitive game of "kicking the weakest DM" to start as fast as possible. At the moment it takes the small DMs much too long to be elected, and that's unfair and sabotages the competitive game. OK, the masternodes get elected. What do they actually do once they're elected? They form the consensus lock that facilitates InstantX. |

After the recent crazy bull run of darkcoin, the two coins sitting on number 4 and 5 on coinmarketcap both offer their own version of anonymous transactions to cater to those who want privacy. Darkcoin uses coinjoin with its darksend feature, and bitshares uses stealth transactions with TITAN (transfer invisibly to any name).
As I understand it coinjoin is basically every time you send a transaction, the transaction is mixed together with other people who are sending transactions. Stealth transactions means that every time you send to an address, you actually generate a new public key for the receiver so addresses are never reused.
What are the pros and cons of each kind of anonymous transaction, and which one is better overall?
Darksend is to coinjoin what the Tesla Model S is to the Ford Model T. |

Hey whats the command to update wallet version to 61000?
All the command-line options are now handily shown under Help > Command-line options. |

It doesn't seem like there's much positive talk going on. :/
Steady progress on testnet, most of the commentary is at spreadcointalk. |

DRK would be undervalued at parity with BTC. It's hundreds of times faster to transact (or will be when IX hits mainnet), secures your privacy and for investors Masternodes provide an income unmatched by almost anything else at a sane risk/reward ratio.

Help on getting connected to the new test net, can someone provide nodes for me to add ?
You shouldn't need any. Start from a fresh folder (no old peers.dat or blocks subdirs etc.) and don't start mining until you're synced. |

Who is the "US' to work on this coin? Who does SpreadCoin consist of in the team? I was under the understanding that Mr. Spread created this coin by himself? There is an actual team behind this coin now? I would love to hear who the other people involved with this are Anyone and everyone who cares about having a securely decentralised currency and has a use for instant transactions. It's an open source project, all are welcome to contribute in whatever capacity suits them. |

As an investor in SpreadCoin it kind of worries me to see it has become such a mess, or am I seeing things the wrong way? And what's all the fuss about private pools, is it actually true? Just wondering... Because what I'm reading in the various SpreadCoin topics doesn't really make me confident, unless it's nothing but FUD ofcourse. Somebody that could explain and put some positivity back into this?  Are you kidding? The moron who started the scam thread thinks addresses you solo mine to are magically invisible and don't appear on the blockchain/explorer, despite the fact that in the wallet there is a perfectly functional block explorer that clearly shows the address that mines every block.Clinical cretinism right here: Another reason is that if you keep solo mining and mining to one address and never receive or send coins,your address is hiden from BE.
BE will never detect such an address.

I would like to install a masternode on a pi 2 at my home with my dynamic ip without restarting after my ip change.
For me its the best option to ensure a secure network and truly decentralised
If centralisation of network infrastructure concerns you, you should be a hundred times more worried about mining. But sure, you can run you MN on a pi 2 if you want. You'll have to compile the daemon for ARM. If you google there are plenty of people who've compiled bitcoind for a pi, that should get you pointed in the right direction. |

If the gouv shutdown 500 masternodes in same time, it's the end of darkcoin.
It's not a good reasoning
If 500 MNs vanished it wouldn't do a damn thing to the rest of the network except increase their earnings. I understand your point, but I don't think a pi 2 on a crappy domestic connection is any improvement. |

Yes you still need a static IP. How much is a pi 2? You could probably get several years of VPS hosting for the same price providing far greater reliability.
Ok, but on a datacenter it's not secure and not realy decentralized It's easy to switch off the masternodes network. Many masternodes are in the United States on the same datacenter, with the patriot act it's easy to access and switch off the masternode servers. Don't rent a US based VPS. If a particular provider gets taken down for whatever reason you can set up your MN somewhere else in about 5 minutes. exoticvps.com lowendbox.com |

Only thing is - does the Darkcoin network still have any hashrate after all this masternode stuff ? A paultry 100 GH/s. 1% of Maza coin's hashrate.
Should I be concerned about that ? It is a POW coin after all.
At coin school I was taught that a high hashrate was good for security.
Maza coin is SHA 256, mined on ASICs. You can't compare it to Darkcoin - X11 mined on GPUs - and derive much of meaning from those numbers alone. And security relies on distribution, something Darkcoin's hashrate doesn't enjoy much of. It would actually cost you far more to rent 100 GH/s X11 per day (if you even could) than 100 TH/s SHA 256. |
