okay, the network difficulty this high is perhaps not unusually (it jumped a couple of times this high .. this day) but i find it alarming that one pool
can have so much control over our network and on a sidenote : current block 162338 seems to take forever to clear (i have a transaction verification thats taking longer too now)
edit : block just cleared, thereby confirming my transaction

Hi,i need help for synchronizing the wallet need the new darkcoin.conf
New Qt does not need one But is so slow 24h and yet not synchronizing  Exit Qt Delete peers.dat Run Qt report back This same Try this method: download https://transfer.sh/DgGDJ/bootstrap.dat and place it in the same folder where you have you wallet.dat EDIT: This should sync you from scratch to block 162117 in ~25 minutes Once sync is done the file will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old automagically and can be safely removed Worked 100% perfect thank you  but wallet it gives error on exit...and slow in on again for synchronizing you could add some more nodes in your darkcoin.conf, this should get you 8 connections fast : addnode=54.187.228.106:9999 addnode=68.226.51.134:9999 addnode=192.241.246.214:9999 addnode=93.95.228.131:9999 addnode=94.23.148.203:9999 addnode=212.129.12.103:9999 addnode=81.134.134.100:9999 addnode=108.61.211.107:9999 |

its friday at last, lets do some Darksend mixing guys  (yeah, a little self interest here as i have some mixing to do myself) |
|

Sell deck is cleared over at bitfinex, got tired of waiting. Pleasure doing business with you, now if you will excuse me I have some MN's to set up.  i bet yr setting up 4 MN edit : maybe even 5 |
|
|
|
and the waiting game begins again.. why oh why do these bitcoin confirmation take soooo fuckingggg longggg can you all please postpone buying DRK for.. eh.. lets say 45 minutes ? |

Yes, in this post it says: At block 158,000 masternode rewards will jump to 25%, if more than 80% of the network is updating and paying the correct rewards enforcement will be activated then. From the looks of it, we're very close to those numbers already. Once enforcement is active, payments will be completely 100% fair and equal between all masternodes.
All those conditions mentioned (blocknumber, percentage of network, etc..) are hardcoded into the spork and will be checked constantly and trigger the hardfork automatically, there is no need for evan to "push a button" or anything like that. There could have been the off chance that not enough people would have updated by then, but then the spork would have not triggered. It would have remained inactive. I mean that's the reason we call it spork right? Soft fork. Either it forks when the conditions are met, or NOT AT ALL. There is no enforcement other than the voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants. I don't like how the word enforcement is used to describe "voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants", that's my problem with this whole mess. It's rhetorically wrong to describe it like that. But mathematically is makes sense. . . . Right? okay, i see yr point now .. if those conditions are indeed hardcoded in the Onyx update then yr right, it would automatically do a fork (Enforcement) when those conditions were met. Untill now i regarded those conditions not hardcoded but more as something Evan put out there for himself, once those conditions were reached he would remotely activate the enforcement himself. Lets wait and see if this gets a bit clearer. |

its just the hardfork for MN payments that has a delayed activation for either waiting for a certain pools compliance % or waiting for a certain time period, if one of those two conditions is met the
hardfork will be activated. This methode is also known as the spork update methode. The activation will be issued by Evan and then the hardfork will be active, forcing the mining pools to be on the right
darkcoin version or to have their mining efforts (on the wrong darkcoin version) rejected by the network.
We are using the spork methode for some time now, i dont understand why yr so bothered with it all of a sudden.. it gives the pools and the users some time to prepare and its more gracious then
forcing a hardfork down everyone's throat on short notice. The update methode is perhaps in a small number of hands (centralisation) but thats with all coins, even Bitcoin.
The lead developer is both in charge and has the responsibility over the coin he is developing, some times the lead developer operates alone.. sometimes he forms a team .. but it will still be a few experienced
people developing the code, or in this case flipping the switch.
Yes, I just want to understand: They way you make it sound like: How will the activation be issued by evan? My assumption was always that it is part of all the users to update to the new version, and that's it. Everything else is in the code itself.So I think I just get confused by all those gifs and all those phrasings like "it's in evans hands" and "the activation will be issued by evan" etc... He doesn't trigger anything at all.It's just that he creates a new version and it's the people who have to update and then the spork code in the new version waits for a period / formula before going hardfork. Evan triggers nothing. So again, I think everything is clear, it's just that how people depict it or make it sound like is confusing sometimes. I need a coffee. Case closed. its an update that has a certain part in ''off'' condition ... then after a certain time (when enough pools have updated) that certain part will be remotely switched ''on'' by the darkcointeam (or in this case Evan), if something goes wrong with that specific part (lets say there is a bug in it or something) he can then also again switch it in ''off'' condition. This will mean that users / pools only need to update once. How that remote switching on / off exactly works in technical terms i dont know. Appearently he will fire a signal at the darkcoin software that puts the specific part thats till now in ''off'' condition in ''on'' condition. You said: "Appearently he will fire a signal at the darkcoin software" But I think this is the reason why I keep getting confused, because if I understand it correctly he doesn't trigger anything, there is no need to. yes there is a need.. if he doesnt do anything that part in the Onyx update (MN payments getting raised to 25 %) will always stay in ''off'' condition (so MN payments will stay at 20%). In order to have the part in ''on'' condition (MN payments 25%) it needs to be activated by Evan. Pls re-read following post : https://darkcointalk.org/threads/v10-15-onyx-release.2683/ATTENTION: POOL OPERATORS This update includes a fork, all daemons and stratum deployments must update their code to pay the correct masternodes and correct reward amounts. Deployment Schedule:
Immediately: Enforcement will be turned off, allowing for pools to update their software without risk of orphaned blocks
Oct 23, 2014: Rewards will step up to 25%. Darkcoin users are encouraged to contact pools that have not updated and politely ask them to update.
qwizzie : ******** this is the enforcement part (activation of MN payments to 25%) ********** |

Flip Flip .... Flip it On Flip it On ...>> Enforcement is right around the corner. Messages are now propagating perfectly and we've updated enough to turn it on from that perspective. I've sent an email out to 4 bigger pools that need to upgrade their stratum, then I'll flip the switch.
 That sounds scary. New people come here, read stuff like this and see those pics/gifs and assume that this is the coin that evan has central control over.Can someone (preferrably evan himself) shed some light on how the enforcement mechanism actually works? Or is this something that is deliberately kept in darkness? Does evan own a private key to some embedded mechanism he can trigger? Really???And we just go along with this, and make funny gifs of triggering buttons and flipping switches? Really???people have asked me about this before and I still cant give them a satisfying answer because I don't understand how enforcement works... so, some clarification would be nice. its just the hardfork for MN payments that has a delayed activation for either waiting for a certain pools compliance % or waiting for a certain time period, if one of those two conditions is met the hardfork will be activated.

my internet connection is a bit buggy last time, disconnects and so on. could that be the reason for the 0.1 fees?
yep, that could very well be it... just sent Evan an email and maybe he can get you these 0.1 collateral fees back as they are all gathered in a certain holding depot |

Today I wanted to try mixing 5 DRK at 8 Rounds. But since 3 hours it hangs at 14% now. Text always changes between "Darksend is idle" and "Submitted to Masternode, waiting queue..."  Next problem is, that there are already 0.3251 DRK fees for now.  Any ideas please? I also want to mention that I started mixing at 0.10.15.13 and updated to 0.10.15.16 now. i suggest you sent your debug.log to Evan as these 0.1 amounts are collateral fees that should only occur when yr client is misbehaving in some way (for example loosing internet connection or something). Pls sent your debug.log to evan@darkcoin.io or register and create a post on darkcointalk : https://darkcointalk.org/Edit : Darksend Denominations : 0.0125 fees per round (was previously indeed 0.001 but made more expensive to counterattack spam / ddos attacks i think) Payment to yrself : splitting up fees (sometime 0 .. sometimes 0.001, depending on txtsize i think) |

Looks like Bitfinex is keeping the highest volumes right now .. i'm curious when the price on Cryptsy will be corrected towards current price at Bitfinex Source : using Google Spreadsheets with this formula : =IMPORTHTML(ʺ https://bitcoinwisdom.comʺ,ʺtableʺ, ʺ0ʺ)  Edit 1 : never mind the volumes & price% in this picture, it changes too often at bitcoinwisdom to be reliable i just noticed  Edit 2 : change% 24 hrs even changed to -11.14 .. no idea why. |

Sorry, my bad... meant Bittrex!! BTW... first time of Bitfinex, and for the life of me I cannot place an order... tough to get warp your head into it... if you are really talking about placing orders on Bitfinex then make sure the BTC is transfered into your exchange account. From there you can make orders like limit darkcoin buy orders that will buy below desired price level (price level can be set) edit 1 : okay.. you figured it out.. never mind this post edit 2 : to all --> just make sure two factor authentication is set active for security reasons. Yeah, upon placing an order (very low) I canceled it and sent it off for a small investment in another coin that is being pumped ATM. Where on earth does one find the withdrawal info? like tx id ? I know Bitfinex is absolutely solid and the most refined exchange out there... but boy is it hard nut to crack... (pun not intended) If you did a withdrawal then check under the withdrawal button the ''recent deposits and withdrawals arrow (arrow can be further clicked open)'' which is located all the way down on that page.. here you will find tx id's and status etc. |
