Hey, you can possibly make some coin by selling trolls this fill in the blank post.  It will save them time (and misspelling/bad grammar).  Good deal for them, I'd think!  LOL

I don't know why mine errored out when I looked at it, and I don't know if this is helping or if it's just benign, but it's still hashing away and looks good on my end.  The hash rate still looks good, though it goes up and down a bit.  I really have no idea what might be happening, but if it's only dropping in hash rate, could it be they're sensitive to the heat build up? Maybe getting a bit old?  Or have you checked to see if the fans are running?  They can die out on ya, but one wouldn't expect all of them to go out at the same time.... I really don't know!

I stopped reading all the clueless replies from trolls and just wanted to tell you I just came across this thread and it's exactly what I was hoping to see in a coin for some time.

The trolls are correct, you won't make  ton of money off this one,  and that makes them think it's worthless.  But what you could make, if the coin can generate enough interest to hang on, is a decent long term investment.... maybe ... and more importantly, a real currency that can serve the population at large.

In my opinion, this is the holy grail of crypto currency.  I instantly know I'm going to support you.

Just one question, the decentralized exchange is an awesome idea that we often talk about on our Darkcoin forum.  I'm wondering if you plan on limiting this feature to the Munich project, btc and ltc, or if you'd be interested in including other coins?  I realize that could become confusing, but it would be cool if we didn't need exchanges anymore or if we could at least have a choice.  

BTW, I totally agree with dewdeded about analyzing what went wrong with other coins, as I think you have been.  Aroura coin is a great example, as you can see, the "air drop" was off to a great start, but the hashing network was far to small to be secure (hence the many forks) and they didn't expect everyone to dump their coins at the exchanges right away (an obvious flaw in hindsight).  So at this juncture, with so many failures, you have the advantage of hindsight.  Hopefully you will gather a good following of thoughtful people here who will help you analyze and process what's gone right and what's gone wrong.

Well, I just read this, and though 'I'll give this a try too', then looked at my miner, and it was all stuck.  So, Maybe this is just what I need right now, LOL.  Wish I had thought to note the errors, now I can't remember  I'll report back after a bit

Wow, it's doing great so far, reporting better hash/s than my miner (186 vs 224 on my pool's website)  Thanks 

I've got to admit that this has been a very interesting experiment.  Lots of things have gone wrong, and I can only hope that those who invested could afford to lose their coin.  Yet you never know, this my not be over yet!  Will continue watching

CHAOSiTEC is very trustworthy.  Have you tried my suggestion to put your old wallet.dat file with a fresh install?  -always back it up first though!!!

Hello, I can see you, did I miss something?  You don't want to yell at me do you?  LOL

LOL

Yah, my total hash rate varies so much, I think, because I'm running a bunch of small things together. 8 cpu cores (older) and 2 GPU's  So often the miners aren't find anything, just the GPU's which find shares a little more consistently.  I'm surer there are ways to optimize things but I have no clue.

I've only  just started reading this, but I think it WONDERFUL that you gave us more of your background etc... in your own words.  It's really great to be able to "get to know" our developer.  I know you are busy, so thanks for doing that, and also, please get the GPU miners on the front page, LOL      

Cool, will download

1.  Make sure/ certain, you have your old wallet.dat file backed up!!!!
2.  close your NEW wallet
3.  Drop your wallet.dat from your old wallet into the new wallet's darkcoin file (in AppData/roaming/darkcoin for windows vista and 7 (and?)
4.  start the wallet application and you should see your money in there unless it somehow got sent, which I don't believe could have happened.


I consider myself a very tolerant person.  Yet I've had to put so many people on ignore because they're so annoying and stupid, attention seeking FUD spreading waste of space.  If I don't, I'll go down the angry well, and I don't like drowning in that well.  I'd rather drown in the well of love and happiness

Really?  My hash rate goes from 700 to 1 gh/s and I'm still getting about 3/4 of a coin a day, I think.  This is a recent drop, before the difficulty was so high, more around 300-350, I was getting 1 per day, which was, what? about 75 cents a day.  Seemed rather good to me?

Don't be a stranger, check up on us once in a while

Yes, that looks ok, now we'd be pleased to examine all your passwords, just let us know your bank/pass, credit card/pas, etc and we'll happily examine them for compliance  LOL

LOL, this made my morning, thank you

you scatter pearls before a swine, darling.  The ignore button is right below his name 

I was having a terrible time syncing with the last update too.  Since I always use beta, because I like the darksend, I downloaded it as soon as it was available, and it had no trouble syncing.

So if you don't mind using the beta, it syncs fine??

Wow, another one for the ignore list.  I've been on a lot of forums, but have ignored one person before I came here.  I think this is the 4th or 5th person I've ignored!

I honestly don't know enough about Blackcoin, must look into it, but here is a bit of info on Darkcoin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0

Darkcoin has a full time developer named Evan Duffield (eduffield) who has already put so many innovations in the coin, it's far above and beyond any other coin.

1.  new algorithm to keep ASICs at bay, X-11.  other coins have already copied this algorithm, as soon as 1 day after Darkcoin's launch!

2.  New way to calculate rewards based on difficulty, a version of Moore's law 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)

3.  When KGW was found to have an Achilles heel with a time warp exploit, Evan came up with his own Difficulty Retargeting solution and called it Dark Gravity Wave, DGW, and it follows the difficulty changes like  glove, it's amazing.

4. And the real reason for Darkcoin's existence is DarkSend.  DarkSend is the technology behind Darkcoin's anonymous transaction features.  They are implemented inside the wallet in a decentralized, trustless solution.  We are currently in Beta 5 (actually skipped Beta 4) and it's running on the main net.  You can find the white paper at the above link.

What is really great is that Darkcoin is way undervalued still, we have no idea why?  But it's currently been slowly creeping up in value, so it's a great time to purchase Darkcoin as part of your portfolio.  We have practically no history of pumping and dumping (except for a rather long story in the beginning where someone got ahold of bitcoin that didn't belong to them on C-CEX, bought up all the Darkcoin they could with it, then transferred it to Cryptsie where they sold all the dark coin off in a huge dump.  This is where you'll see a very strange peak and valley in, I think it was, early February)

This is a serious coin, we know we have a good thing, but we have not been good at getting the word out.  I feel awkward writing all this, but I've decided that I have to do my part to spread the word.  Even a brilliant coin is nothing without a community, and we've been a quiet bunch who don't seem to want to stick our heads outside the forum just to have it chopped off by Blue Meanies! LOL.

I myself have bought a bunch of this coin about 2 weeks ago at above 0.0016 btc a couple of weeks ago, it's currently trading around 0.00142 or so, so I can tell you it's still an excellent time to invest.  DarkSend will soon be out of beta and when it is, we expect things will quickly change.

There you have it.  I only want to deliver information, maybe with a little of my own opinion.   I honestly believe in this coin, and hope I come across as a person delivering information and not hype.  If you've read this, I thank you for doing so, and hope you will join us 

I forgot one fact, Evan has added over 10,000 lines of code to the 'ol bitcoin wallet/system.  When Darksend is released, it will be open source but people will not be able to easily just implement the code in their coin, it will take someone with a lot of skill to do so .

Darkcoin uses a hybrid conjoin and other systems to obfuscate transactions within the wallet in a decentralized solution.  They/we call it DarkSend and it's in main net Beta which is downloadable and usable right now.  It will go open source when Evan the developer feels it's finished.  he wants to make sure as much as possible that it is stable and has no bugs.  He's still expanding it.  Right now there is a limit of 10 coin transactions, probably because he just has to write in the code for higher amounts.

Anyway, there's a white paper on the first page here you can read : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0

Except for coins in the planning stages, I only know of third party trusted and centralized mixing services and any coin can use Tor.  We would love to have you come by and take a look at our coin if you're interested.  We're a nice friendly bunch of low key people.  I think you'll like it there
