R.O.T.F.W.L. !!  

Looks like the first block's in.

Mintpal taking off.

Thanks !

I hope authoritative figures like chaeplin are on standby to give the authoritative version of how the fork is going when the trolls start posting that it's forked off in 6 directions and all that crap to trying to shake the tree.

What's the twitter feed for the definitive commentary ?

Am I right in thinking there's one minute to go till hard fork ?

Oops - 1 hour.

(I forgot the English are on British Summertime). (That is until Italy don't beat Costa Rica in which case it will be winter everywhere    )

That's some breakout pattern on the 12 hour now emerging.

See step 24 of this guide:

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-2-3.241/

Basically, the local node "talks" to the remote one and gives it the thumbs up that you've got the private key for the masternode wallet address.

From that point on it can go offline and the wallet can too.

I don't know how the system prevents you from "spending" the 1000 DRK following that handshake exchange, but presumably the remote masternode periodically checks the address to make sure the 1000 DRK's still there or something like that.

It's not a question of weak or strong hands, it's a question of a calculator and ROI - return on investment.

Right now, ROI is 1.5 years.

When all these nodes are setup it'll probably be about 4-5 years. It's simple statistics that that will be beyond many people's viability threshold.

1432 DRK shot just gone through in addition to the 2602.

This worries me.

When all these people buying masternodes get their servers up, they'll find that the revenue has halved or even quartered. Will they then all just cash straight back out ?

1 every 3 years ?

That sounds mega sophisticated and secure.

All the IP routing stuff is over my head but I'd love learn more about what's going on there.

Wow. That gave me vertigo.

I get goggle-eyed enough just staring at one chart, never mind 4 markets at once.

Impressive though.

Whales are out in force today.

2602 DRK shot gone through just as the market was correcting - jittery trading from the deep pocketed ones. Worried that someone's going to jump them halfway through the 15 minute MACD correction cycle.

That's us blasting through 02 now. That sellwall was demolished in a single trade. Another supply shock on the cards.

That's one advantage of not being on a fixed IP.

My home broadband connection changes my IP every few days. When I need to terminal-connect onto the masternode I just revise the port 22 firewall to keep up to date with my "moving target" home broadband public IP address.

(Anyway, so what if a hacker finds your home IP. With the new hot-cold wallet masternode scheme, you don't need to have *any* wallet on your home PC. Have it offline completely on an encrypted drive in your cupboard).

Thats not a pump, thats a dead cat bounce. The last dying breath of a dying coin and it's already run out of steam.

Have a look at Doge's last couple of months - same pattern. Long slow drift down with sporadic bounces along the way as some hopeful speculator thinks they've "caught the bottom" when in fact they're just attaching themselves to a sinking ship.

I wouldn't put my money in LTC for anything right now - it's in terminal decline.

Liquidity being hoovered.

Markets moving again after the last hour's little correction.

812 DRK shot now pushed it within grabbing distance of the sell wall at 20.

These two statements seem to conflict with one another.

Care to clarify ?
